After dinner that day, Maca went back to the room to rest early - at least to other people, that's what he did. At the end of the dinner, he and Madame Maxime did this.

He said it, and many guests heard it.

However, the guest room he went to was not his own.

Regarding this large gathering of various forces, Maka had no intention of getting involved too much from the beginning. It was just a cover. The focus of his trip was tonight.

Just in case, he left Fanny in his room.

At this moment, Maka was walking quickly in the corridor. He went all the way up the stairs to the top floor. On the east side of the top floor of Beauxbatons Castle, there was a seemingly ordinary door.

He walked forward gently, without knocking on the door, but reached out and touched the door handle. As the weak magic power fluctuated, the locked door of the locked room automatically opened the bolt.

The door opened automatically.

Maka didn't hesitate. After he quickly walked into the room, he closed the door behind him. With a soft "click" of the lock, the door was locked again.

After he locked the door again, he had time to look at the room carefully.

It can be seen that this is also a guest room for temporary residence. Although the various daily necessities in the room are exquisite and complete, and it is obvious that a lot of thought has been spent on the layout, the space here is

Not big.

Just looking at the traces of life everywhere on the table and bed, you can tell that someone lives here.

It was obviously the first time for Maka to come to this room, but he didn't seem to be curious about this place. Needless to say, he came here with a clear purpose.

He just checked the place casually, and when he found a chair with armrests placed by the window, he went directly over and sat down. It seemed that he was waiting for someone.

Waiting time is always boring, and just sitting here and waiting is naturally not his character. Soon, he took out a book related to alchemy and started reading it casually.

As time slowly passed, it wasn't long before he sensed a source of magic power... No, it wasn't one, but two.

When he noticed that two wizards seemed to be walking this way, Maka knew that they were not the people he wanted to wait for.

So, just when the two magic sources stopped outside the door, he immediately used Animagus to transform, turned into a hummingbird and flew out of the window, stopping in mid-air to wait and see what happened.

It seems that someone also wants to come here to visit the residents here.

“Tuk tuk tuk”

There was a knock on the door, but naturally the other party could not wait for a response. After they knocked on the door twice more and made sure that no one was in the room, they directly cast a spell to unlock the door.

Maka didn't set a spell to prevent others from opening it just now. He just relocked the door itself. But now, the other party easily opened the door lock, and then the two wizards broke in directly.

"...He hasn't come back yet." The person who spoke was a calm male voice, which sounded very familiar.

Maka peeked in from the window, and sure enough, it was the two guys from the Tefler family. However, she saw that the middle-aged wizard was still sullen, looking at everything in the room carefully, and casually speaking to that person.

Master Taylor said something.

"Then wait a moment!" Master Tefler thought for a while and said, "Most people have already had dinner now, and the old butler named Flamel should be coming this way."

Yes, this is the guest room where Nicolas Flamel's old butler Edward lives.

Seeing that the two guys didn't seem to have any intention of leaving here, Maka didn't alert them. Although his matter was important, he was not in a hurry. Besides, the old Edward hadn't come back yet, so he thought it would be better to take a look.

Just as the two people in the room said, the old butler was indeed on his way back. Not long after, when old Edward pushed the door open and entered, the two people from the Tefeller family immediately walked forward.

"Hello, Mr. Butler." Master Taylor greeted him somewhat hypocritically, "I'm sorry for visiting you so hastily..."

"Oh?" Old Edward frowned and stared at the two uninvited guests in front of him. He paused before asking, "I wonder what you two came to me to ask me to do?"

He didn't say stupid words like "Why are you here?" You don't have to think twice to know that these two people must have set their sights on the inheritance left by their late master's family.

Upon hearing this, Master Taifuler nodded slightly.

"If possible, please tell me the details of Mr. Nico Flamel's estate." He chuckled, "For example, what specific things Mr. Flamel left behind; and for example, what are those things now in

where?"

The young master of the Tefeller family has already graduated from Beauxbatons. Speaking of which, he is several years older than Maka! Although he is still somewhat immature at the moment, at least he is not like Maka.

He looks so "young". These words with a hint of laughter, coupled with his increasingly adult face, still have a somewhat threatening feel.

If it were Maka who came here like this, I'm afraid he would always give people a weird sense of inconsistency in front of people who are not familiar with him.

However, after all, Old Edward was already quite old. Who had he not seen during these years of traveling around with his master? The threats made by a barely adult wizard were nothing to him.

.

What made him even more vigilant was the middle-aged male wizard who was following Master Taylor. As the saying goes, "banshees who tell jokes never eat children," those silent guys are often more dangerous.

Of course, no one knows whether there are banshees who can tell jokes.

"I think I can't do that yet," Old Edward shook his head. "Sooner or later, the master's inheritance will be made public, but not now. I think you can go back and wait. I believe it won't be too long."

After hearing this, Master Taifleur immediately snorted.

"Old butler, I don't think we need to wait any longer." You can see that his smile is gradually turning cold. "Look, no one else knows which room you live in in Beauxbatons. We are the only ones who know."

I know. Don’t you think this is a very beneficial thing for us?”

"Maybe!" Old Edward said noncommittally, "But do you want to take action here? From my perspective, this may not be a good idea."

Master Taylor snorted coldly. The next moment, he narrowed his eyes with a dangerous look in his eyes.

"Wouldn't you know if you try it?"

Before he finished speaking, the wizard who had been standing beside him immediately pulled out his wand. He did not choose to attack old Edward immediately, but cast a magic spell on the room first.

For a moment, the sounds in the room seemed to be frozen, and only silence remained.

Outside the window, Maka saw that the situation in the room had suddenly changed, and he immediately wanted to intervene to help. But when he discovered that the old Edward was not helpless, he stopped trying to take action.

In the entire magical world, most people don't know much about alchemy. Many wizards think that it is a research-based subject similar to potions, and all they have to do is squat in the laboratory and work hard.

Tinker.

Yes, this is actually not wrong. Every alchemist spends a lot of good time in his laboratory. But just like a pharmacist can prepare magic potions, a wide variety of alchemical products are also

It is the crystallization of the hard work of alchemists day after day.

Old Edward was just a butler, he was not an alchemist himself, but he had a master who was one of the few great alchemists in the world.

The characteristic of alchemical products is that everyone can use them. Even a squib can achieve certain goals with the help of some alchemical items that do not require the consumption of magic power or have their own magic power storage.

Not to mention, old Edward himself was also a wizard, an old wizard with extensive experience.

Just as Master Taylor also drew out his wand and pointed it at Butler Edward, the latter suddenly waved his arm. The moment his palm was released, a large amount of sand shining with earthy yellow light was directly swung out by him, covering it up silently.

The two people faced each other.

Maka, who was watching outside the window, saw that the gravel seemed to be very light and quickly collided with each other in the air and spread out.

In the blink of an eye, the room was occupied by these gravels.

However, if you observe carefully, you can still see that the gravel is indeed settling slowly, but the speed is very slow, and it is difficult to detect it in time if you don't pay attention.

"All petrified!"

Master Taylor's spell came a little late, and in perhaps less than a second, Old Edward's arrangement made his spell completely ineffective.

Tefler was stunned for a moment. He subconsciously glanced at his wand, but he didn't know how the gravel scattered in the air affected his whole body binding spell.

The cold-faced wizard on the side did not act rashly. He stretched out his hand and waved his hand in front of himself, stirring up the gravel. The gravel immediately flowed with the air flow brought by his wave, and floated in the air.

Two small vortexes were formed.

He paused for a moment, then flicked his wand, and a whirlwind suddenly rose in front of him, stirring up the gravel in the room.

Unexpectedly, the whirlwind became smaller and smaller and completely dissipated not long after.

The wizard's brows suddenly tightened.

The two guys haven't discovered the effect of these gravels yet, but Maka has seen it. To be precise, he can sense the abnormality in the magic power of the young master of the Taifler family when he cast the spell just now.
