"Lord Count Turso, the Countess has finished bathing, and she awaits you in the main hall."

As he spoke, he glanced at my unfinished plate.

I immediately understood, stood up, and nodded at him, "Take me there!" ”

Then, Wang Yi led a few guards to open the way in front, I followed him to the outside, Du Deming followed, I turned my head and saw him following me, but I was a lot more relieved.

Follow the men out of the hall, through a hallway, and up a spiral staircase that seems to be very old.

On the wall on the left hand side of the staircase hang huge portraits of gorgeously dressed women, and from the quality of the paintings, it is inferred that these are the castle lords of the past generations.

After walking up the spiral staircase and entering the crimson carpeted corridor, I wonder if it is because the windows inside the castle are very small, and the indoor light is extremely limited, and the deeper you go, the more dim the light becomes.

The road ahead was dim, and the footsteps echoed, revealing an indescribable strangeness.

I glanced at Du Deming beside me, and my heart was a little drumming.

Just as he walked around a corner, the captain of the guard beside Wang Yi suddenly stopped his progress and clapped his hands at the air.

There was a long thud, and a row of candles on the walls on either side lit up one after another.

Suddenly, the flickering candle flame reflected the entire corridor, and the light and shadow were intertwined, making us feel very unreal when we were in reality and illusion.

The captain of the guard made a gesture of please: "The Countess is waiting for you over there." ”

I looked at the crimson gate at the end of the corridor, clenched my fists nervously, but on the surface I pretended to be calm and calm, and walked straight to the end of the corridor.

As soon as I walked to the gate, the door was opened by the people inside, and Wang Yi led me in.

Except for Wang Yi, who was the housekeeper, and myself, as well as Du Deming, who was the personal guard, everyone else was asked to wait outside the door.

However, when I entered the main hall, those little things could no longer concern me.

Because I have been shocked by the appearance of the legendary bloodthirsty female demon in front of me, Bloody Mary.

At this time, on the stone throne in the center of the main hall with carved beams and paintings, a young woman with an extremely domineering aura was leaning on her.

She was the same person I had just seen in the portrait.

With natural black and brown curly hair, glowing white skin, and a luxurious red and black dress, the most surprising thing is that her eyes are blood-red, and a tear mole in the right corner of her eye is particularly eye-catching.

At this moment, those eyes were staring at me without blinking, as if they were peeking at some kind of prey.

The perfect face without any flaws gives me a strange sense of shock.

Yet, even though I knew this, I couldn't take the slightest look off her face, as if under a spell.

Just when I couldn't do anything, I felt a slight heat from the necklace around my neck, and then I broke free from that strange feeling.

Yu Guang sneaked a glance at the other two, and neither of them seemed to be too shocked. Maybe it's because it's close to me, so it's within the range of the necklace.

I thought to myself.

"Cousin Tulso, how are you doing?" Countess Mary over there suddenly spoke.

I was slightly stunned, and looked up at Countess Mary, who was staring at me condescendingly, and barely pulled a smile at the corner of my mouth.

"It's fine."

"You're welcome, sit down!" Mary was still smiling faintly, and her smile was indescribably moving.

At this time, because I was wearing the necklace, I didn't have the very strange feeling I had just now.

Looking at her pretty face now, it seems to make me feel disgusted when I am so beautiful that I am so beautiful.

As soon as she sat down, she suddenly stared at me without blinking: "Uncle, aunt, are you doing well?" ”

I paused, took a sip of the black tea brought by the person next to me, and said nonsense: "Ah, they're in good health." ”

"We haven't seen each other in more than ten years, right? My cousin's appearance has changed a lot! Mary played with the string of beads in her hand, her eyes not looking at me, but her tone was a little incomprehensible.

Instantly, I just felt beads of sweat dripping from my forehead.

Did I make some special move that she realized I wasn't the Count of Tourso?

There seemed to be an indescribable sense of depression and dullness in the air, and because I had improved my mental force field, I could barely keep my face from changing, and Du Deming, Wang Yi, and even other unrelated guards and subordinates on the side had their expressions a little panicked at this time.

It is worthy of being a formal real devil game, and compared to the previous novice trial, the level of this female demon is much higher.

I took a deep breath, and finally decided to bite the bullet and smile and answer, "Cousin, haven't you changed a lot?" It's so beautiful that I can't recognize it. ”

"Really?" Countess Mary instantly restrained the chilling aura, and turned to the subordinate next to her.

The woman understood, and immediately joined forces with the two maidservants next to her to lift a one-man high bronze mirror and put it in front of her.

After the few people stepped back, she looked at her flawless face left and right in the mirror with satisfaction, a look of joy.

After looking in the mirror for a long time, she finally realized that there was a person like me waiting for her to continue the conversation.

With a snap of their fingers, the men withdrew the bronze mirror back to where they had just been.

"Where did you just go? Oh, yes. The reason why I specially invited my cousin to the castle was the intention of the cardinal archbishop in the upper echelon of the royal family, do you know what they mean? His deep eyes looked at me without blinking, as if trying to tell if I was lying by his micro-expressions.

After successfully lying just now, I gradually felt that there seemed to be some kind of special ability in my body, a specific mental force field to be precise, and with it, I might be able to achieve the goal of convincing creatures from another world.

Of course, the premise is that the creature's level is not much different from my own mental force field value.

Adjusting my breathing, I looked at Mary with a firm and calm gaze: "I don't know, but this time I came to visit my cousin, but it was mainly the intention of my father and queen mother, after all, you are the only child left in my aunt's family." ”

Mary nodded, seemingly persuaded by my reasoning.

I breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, Zhao Qiqi had mentioned some of the circumstances of this female demon in the European Middle Ages before entering the game.

Next, she chatted with me briefly, mostly about the health of the Count of Turso's parents and anecdotes about her childhood.

After a while, she lifted her wrist, which was a little too white, and frowned in disgust.

"Dirty, so dirty! Cousin, it's time for me to bathe. You can ask Uyvari to accompany you around the castle. ”

With that, she stood up.

I looked at her back a little weirdly, and she ...... Didn't she just wash it?

Countess Mary, however, seemed to have thought of something suddenly, and after a pause, she turned to look at me again.

"Oh, yes, forgot to tell you. You can visit the interior of the castle as you like, except for the cellar on the west side of the castle's back door. She caught my gaze with her unique gaze and spoke word by word.
