Chapter 2200

Even the authors of those third-rate erotic knight novels knew what it meant for a single noble lady to invite a handsome stranger to enter the study. Although the Outsider would not read such books, when Dorothy sometimes talked to him about literary creation, she would also mention similar content. This is a very classic bridge... second only to the princess who was drugged and the female knight who bathed in the lake.

"Mr. Watson, why don't you come in?"

The beautiful and moving Countess smiled and asked. Her skirt was also a style with the hem below the knees, and her legs were also a pair of silk stockings. As for the maids around her, they were equally beautiful and charming, and the style of the maid dresses was also quite undignified. If Difa saw it, she would definitely reprimand them.

"Sorry, may I ask where Miss Belinder is?"

Xia De stood at the door and asked, and the Countess smiled and waved her hand:

"Count Belinder went to the washroom to touch up her makeup. You come in and wait for her first. I have long heard that Count Belinder has a handsome cousin from the North. The rumors are not exaggerated. You are even more handsome than I imagined. It's raining outside, and you have to rush here yourself. It's really hard work."

She said she had already walked to the door of the room, and even wanted to reach out to hold Xia De's hand, but was dodged by Xia De without a trace, but he still walked into the room:

"Then I'm sorry to bother you."

The beautiful Countess threw him a wink, and the maids around also looked at him with strange smiles.

Even with candles lit, the study still looked exceptionally dim. After officially walking in, a strange floral scent filled his nose. At the same time, Xia De noticed that there were several pieces of black lace women's underwear on the sofa in the study.

He frowned slightly and turned to look at the Countess, who was smiling at him:

"Please sit down, Count Belinder will be back soon. But before she comes back, would you like to chat with me? You look really handsome. You must have a lot of girls around you usually, right?"

Saying this, she wanted to touch Xia De's face, but was dodged by Xia De again. The seven maids all laughed. The sound could even be described as "dissolute," and the Countess was not angry, but put her hand on her skirt belt:

"Really, there is no one else here. Am I not beautiful? Mr. Watson, when you just walked in, weren't you looking at my legs?"

Her rippling laughter seemed to have a magic that could make people indulge, and the maids also surrounded them at this time.

There was no wind in the room, but the light of the candles flickered at this moment, as if the whole room was slowly rotating, and strange light shrouded the faces and bodies of those beautiful and charming girls. They all reached out to Xia De. Of course, they didn't want to strangle him, but wanted to touch him. The buttons on the front of the clothes were being unbuttoned, and the straps of the long skirts were thrown on the carpet to be stepped on by the slender heels of the high heels.

The atmosphere representing the color of pink filled the room so naturally. The Countess's face had already leaned in front of Xia De, and the maids also leaned over in various ways.

They seemed to be dancing around Xia De, and they seemed to be some kind of wild animal making a courtship signal. But just before the Countess's hand was about to touch Xia De's clothes, Xia De closed his eyes and hummed suddenly:

"Hmph~"

The effect of the miracle-Dragon Roar almost made the whole study vibrate. The subtle and elusive atmosphere was immediately broken, and the beautiful and strange light returned to normal.

The Countess, who still had a charming smile, took two steps back, and the seven young and beautiful maids also left Xia De's surroundings.

"Why hasn't Count Belinder come back yet?"

She said in a very low voice, as if nothing had just happened, and then signaled Xia De to be patient:

"I'll go to the washroom to check the situation. Mr. Watson, you wait here for a while, I will bring your beloved Countess back immediately."

Saying this, she threw a wink at Xia De again, and then left the room with those giggling maids.

The maid who walked last was the maid who led Xia De upstairs just now. She did not forget to close the door. Xia De stood in place with a cold face and did not move. After confirming that the footsteps had left, he went to carefully examine the whole study.

The area of the study was not particularly large, and there was no secret internal compartment. In addition to the ordinary desk, bookshelf, and tea table sofa set for rest, it is also worth noting the hanging oil paintings, and the women's underwear that can be seen everywhere in the corners of the room.

The one on the sofa was only a part. When Xia De walked to the desk, he immediately saw the small clothes thrown under the chair.

But Xia De certainly would not touch the underwear of such strangers. He looked up at the two oil paintings on the bookshelf behind the desk. One of them was a landscape painting of an unknown lake, but the scene depicted in the painting was gloomy weather, even gloomier than the rainy day outside now. In the center of the painting, a girl with dark red hair and a bare back sat by the lake with her back to the picture, so she could not see her legs.

The only character in the oil painting was very small relative to the picture, and the empty and dark background caused the landscape painting to look terrifying.

The other oil painting was a portrait of Countess Dalmanin. She was standing in the center of the picture alone wearing the red long dress she was wearing today, her hands were clasped together and hanging naturally in front of her, and her eyes seemed to be looking directly at Xia De outside the picture.

"Interesting, what about the Count's own portrait?"

Xia De tried to move his position and found that the Countess's eyes had indeed been watching him. This is not superb painting technique, just as the Countess's laughter just now was not simple sound wave vibration.

He tried to close his eyes, and when he opened them again, there was no too terrifying scene, but the Countess in the painting had become naked. The woman like a sheep generously showed her body to the person outside the painting. Xia De just took a look and moved his eyes away, and then reached out his hand to the bookshelf:

"Spell-Library Retrieval... Occult books."

All the books on the bookshelf trembled at this moment, and then a layer of pink light that was almost invisible to the naked eye shrouded the bookshelf, wanting to stop Xia De from obtaining secrets in this way. But those pink lights were very weak, and Xia De's spell easily broke through the obstacles. He just waited for five or six seconds, and a book located in the corner of the top layer of the bookshelf flew into Xia De's hand with a swoosh.

The ancient big book was very thick, the thickness far exceeded the red bricks used for construction, and the size was also the largest page width. The cover and back cover were red and black, and were also decorated with slender gold chains. The title of the book was written in Karsinrik language—"Charming Woman." After opening it, the content inside was also written in Karsinrik language, but the grammar used was very ancient.

Xia De took a look at the table of contents and flipped through a few pages casually. He skipped over the disgusting and perverted special materials and ritual contents such as virgin blood, moon sunflower, purple river car, blood bathtub, human centipede, etc., and saw other rituals related to soul sacrifice and murder to prolong life.

He threw the book on the desk:

"A book that mixes part of the content of "Book of Pink," mainly based on charm and evil arts to maintain youth."

He looked at the bookshelf again, raised his hand and used his spell again. After confirming that there was no harvest, he walked directly to the door, knocked on the door that was locked from the inside, and came to the corridor.

The corridor was empty. Xia De closed his eyes and listened to the heartbeat. He found that there was only one place with a heartbeat on the whole third floor except for him. So he walked along the corridor to the door of what was obviously the master bedroom of the mansion, pushed it gently, and the door was pushed open directly.

There was also no light in the bedroom, but because the curtains were not drawn, the room was not completely dark. The faint heartbeat came from the bed. After Xia De approached the bed, he saw that an old gentleman with a withered face, almost skin wrapped in bones, was lying there.

There were not many white hairs on his head, and the teeth in his mouth when he tried to breathe were only two left. Hearing footsteps, his turbid eyes first showed a look of horror, but after struggling to turn his head on the pillow and finding that it was a strange man he didn't know who came to the bedside, he moved his pale, peeling, and shriveled lips to try to say something, but due to his own weakness, he couldn't make a sound at all.

"Are you... Count Dalmanin?"

Xia De hesitated for a while before asking, and the old man with a withered face like a skeleton tried to nod.

He squeezed out his last strength and finally let his throat make a ho~ ho~ sound. Xia De was sure that this was the only human he encountered after entering this house who did not have traces of abnormal elements, so he leaned his ear over and heard the warning from the old man:

"Wo... ho, woman, women are all... devils... don't get close to women, it will become unfortunate... don't, don't, I really don't want it, oh~"

He made a strange "oh oh~" sound from his throat, closed his eyes and never moved again. Xia De reached out to test his breath and breathed a sigh of relief after finding that he was just in a coma.

"If I'm not mistaken..."

【Yes, the vitality is as weak as a candle flame about to go out, he was sucked dry.】

"She" said Xia De's guess softly, and then smiled and said:

【You have to be careful too.】

Xia De felt that "she" was not saying to be careful here, but to be careful at home.

"Do you look down on me too much?"

So the Outsider asked back, but "she" just smiled by his ear and did not answer this question.

Xia De shook his head and looked at the Count who didn't know what he had experienced with pity, and didn't intend to save him now.

He turned around and looked at the Countess and those maids standing at the open bedroom door. They were all smiling and looking at him.
