harry potter book of crimes

The gravel scattered by the old butler can effectively disrupt the magic spell, constantly disrupting the orderly flow of magic power into irregular magic power with no power at all.

Obviously, it is a strange alchemical product, and it should be specially designed to look like this through research. Otherwise, that kind of gravel would not have the key property of being close to levitation by chance.

Right now, this room has almost become a special area where it is difficult to cast spells.

In terms of effect, this is actually somewhat similar to the rune array used by Lockhart when he fought against Voldemort. The idea of ​​both is to temporarily make enemies within the range lose the ability to cast spells. The only difference between them is that,

Maka's rune array is used to dispel the magic, while Old Edward's gravel is just to disrupt the magic.

Of course, Maka's rune array is much more powerful. Even Voldemort's huge magical power can be cleared away by him in an instant. If Voldemort were to stand in this room at this moment, those gravels would probably be

It's hard to beat Voldemort's powerful control over magic.

But the advantage of that kind of alchemical gravel is that it is very convenient to use!

Just like most alchemy products, the threshold for use is very low and can be used at any time. It can be said to be a must-have product for home travel and self-protection against enemies. Compared with these, the rune array requires sufficient magic power to be used.

The big thing can only be regarded as a strategic weapon.

"You two, I think it's better to end it here?" Old Edward was talking, but he had already taken out a strange gadget in his hand again. He held it in front of him and persuaded, "If we two

Just turn around and leave, I won't tell anyone what happened today."

It was only then that the two members of the Tefler family were surprised to find that even the silencing spell cast by the wizard in advance had completely lost its effect.

No, it seemed that the silencing curse had been broken when Master Taylor recited the whole-body binding spell just now. But at that time, they were only worried about the gravel, so that they both temporarily ignored it.

The sound of chanting a mantra.

"...Mr. Butler," Master Taylor looked at Old Edward with an unkind expression, curled his lips and said, "Do you think it's useful to say this now? Don't say we don't believe it, even if we do, it's impossible to leave just like that.

.”

What he said is true. Once they take action, they must continue. They have already broken the rules on the surface. Even if they just retreat, it is equivalent to taking the initiative in this inheritance incident.

Abstained. Otherwise, would they still be able to obtain benefits from it by legitimate means?

If you offend old Edward, the distributor of the inheritance who holds the final power of interpretation, doesn’t that mean you have given up the possibility of participating positively?

Nico Flamel's alchemy legacy is extremely tempting, and the Tefler family has no intention of letting it go just like that.

Master Taylor quickly winked at the wizard beside him, who nodded silently. The next moment, the guy took out a dagger and rushed towards Old Edward with a cold light flashing.

It seems that he is actually a ruthless character with certain melee capabilities, which is quite rare in the modern magic world that generally despises cold weapons!

When Old Edward saw it, his expression immediately changed. In the interference space he created, he was also unable to cast spells on the enemy. The opponent's movements were very fast, and his running route was irregular.

It's obvious that this guy also has good melee combat skills.

He held another alchemy tool in his hand, but he always hesitated.

Of course there is no problem in using it now, but the range of influence of this thing is not large. And whether it is missed or replaced with other items, it will give the other party an opportunity to take advantage of it.

Want to take a gamble?

Maybe Edward would have chosen to give it a try when he was young? But now, the older Edward has become more cautious, but he failed to make such a decisive decision in this very short period of time.

Soon, old Edward was forced to the wall, and the other party was only a few steps away from him.

"boom!"

With a solid muffled sound, the wizard holding the sharp dagger flew out and hit the wall on the other side heavily.

"...McMcLean?"

Our young Master Taylor was extremely surprised! No, rather than being surprised, it would be more appropriate to say that he was frightened. His eyes widened, and the hand holding the wand trembled violently.

As for the gloomy wizard who always had a dead face just now, he was still lying in the corner trying to stand up again! Judging from his appearance, he probably fell hard.

Maka stood in front of old Edward. He gently took back the kicked foot, then stretched out his hand to pick up a handful in the air, and then twisted some suspended gravel between his fingers.

"It's really interesting stuff," he said curiously, "Sir, do you still have this thing? Can you send me some later? I would like to find time to study it."

Edward looked at him in surprise, was stunned for a long time, and then nodded slightly.

"Of course, I still have some here -" the old butler replied, "Well... Mr. MacLean, it's been a while since we last said goodbye. I didn't expect that we would be in this situation..."

He didn't finish his words, he just shrugged, indicating that he was quite helpless about the current situation.

To be honest, among the three people here except Maka, the one who saw the extremely sudden change just now most clearly was Old Edward. But even he only saw a terrifyingly fast figure rushing past the window.

After entering, Maka, who was raising her leg, suddenly appeared in front of him.

But the male wizard who seemed to be very skilled just now flew out without any suspense.

What speed is that? Is it the effect of some unknown magic spell? This McClain is indeed a new generation of strong men who can defeat the two dark devils head-on. Not only can he use this unheard of magic, but also

Being able to survive in these alchemical gravels without being affected at all.

There are rumors that this Maca McClain is the only direct apprentice that Dumbledore has accepted in his life, and that his talent is even higher than that of Dumbledore himself. It seems that this may not necessarily be exaggerated.

Of course, Maka didn't know what the old housekeeper was thinking. He seemed quite happy to see that the other party agreed quickly. After all, what he likes most now is studying these messy gadgets.

After nodding to the old butler, he turned around and looked towards Master Taylor.

"We meet again," he smiled, and then said unceremoniously, "Are you going to leave by yourself, or do you want me to take you out?"

"you--"

Tyfuler immediately gritted his teeth and squeezed out one word, but was speechless after that. He was not a fool. For Maka's brilliant debut, he naturally understood that the final outcome would probably be like his.

Not to mention dealing with Maka, just looking at the guy who has just managed to stand up against the wall, you can see how perverted McClain is who seems to be younger than him.

Back when he was dueling with himself, he could create a terrifying frost giant, and now he could kick his hired help into a corner with just his speed!

How to deal with this kind of opponent?

At least Ty Fowler couldn't think of it. Maybe there was someone else who could deal with this McClain, but he knew that that person would definitely not be him.

"let's go!"

Master Tyfuler just thought about it for a moment and made an immediate decision. He carefully took a few steps back, then walked around in a circle to where the wizard was, supported him, and hurriedly moved to the door.

"At least he's not stupid," Maka said with a smile to Edward Sr. "Actually, I don't really like fighting with people. Compared to fighting and killing, staying in the laboratory and doing research seems to be more suitable for me.

"

"That's really good!" The old housekeeper couldn't help but laugh.

After the two guys from the Taylor family exited the room, the door was closed again, leaving only Maca and old Edward alone.

"Mr. MacLean, Maximoff——"

Edward was about to speak, but Maka suddenly waved her hand to signal him not to speak yet. Maka turned her head and stared at the door for a moment, then turned around and shook her head.

"They have left," he said. "I understand, sir - Madame Maxime informed you beforehand, didn't she?"

"That's right," the old housekeeper nodded, "but I didn't expect you to be watching outside all the time. I had to thank you for your help just now, otherwise..."

Obviously, the guy who suddenly took out a sharp blade just now is definitely not a good person. If Maka is not here, even if the old Edward can escape by luck in the end, he probably won't be able to escape unscathed. Of course, there is a worse outcome.

Naturally, he was captured by mistake, and it is simply unimaginable what would happen afterwards.

The magical world is never a peaceful world. Where there are opportunities, there will naturally be dangers. Just like the Muggle world, unknown turbulence often hides beneath the peaceful surface.

"It's nothing," Maka spread her hands relaxedly, "I came here today for a purpose, and like them, I didn't act according to the so-called 'rules'. I just treated you as if I was helping you.

I returned the favor in advance."

"There is no such thing as returning a favor or not," Old Edward shook his head and said, "The reason why Madame Maxime and I chose you is just because you gave us enough reason to trust you!"

After Maka heard this, she thought about it, but she didn't find that she was worthy of trust. Well, except for some whitewashing plans that he and Dumbledore had concocted.
