Chapter five hundred and sixty fourth strange point

"...Hey, why are you back again?"

As soon as she opened the door, Maka saw a familiar face.

Fanny has a good temperament, and her appearance is definitely not bad. It’s just that she looks serious all day long, and is usually a bit cold in dealing with others, which often makes people feel that she is not easy to get in touch with.

"Someone is dead, the male wizard who had ill intentions towards you yesterday -" Fanny quickly closed the door tightly, and then whispered, "It's from the Tefler family."

Look! The dead person's face remains unchanged and his heart does not beat. He really doesn't look like a woman.

"The small one? Or the big one?" Maka frowned slightly and asked immediately.

"big."

Fanny answered his question concisely and concisely.

Maka was quite surprised that someone died unexpectedly after she had just been out for one night. No matter how fierce the fight was behind closed doors, he would not have killed someone on the night they arrived at Beauxbatons.

But when he thought about his meeting with two people from the Taylor family in the old housekeeper's room yesterday, there was an extra layer of suspicion.

After thinking about it like this, Maka quickly came up with two guesses: Either the forces with old enmities with the Tefler family wanted to take the opportunity to muddy the waters, or some conspirators had already risked the green light.

The tip of the staff was pointed at him, Macca McClane.

"Mr. McClain, didn't you go last night..." Probably because she saw Maka being so calm, Fanny began to become suspicious, "Sir, do you need me to try to spread some words and disturb the attention of other forces?"

When she said this, she obviously put Maka on the spot as the murderer.

Not to mention, it was too much of a coincidence that I didn't come back all night yesterday, and someone discovered a body very early in the morning.

However, in disputes over power, it is all too common for someone to die. Fanny was able to climb to the position of family manager, but she didn't know the reason behind it, so she soon planned to follow the usual method

, trying to completely muddy the water.

"No, this has nothing to do with me," Maka shook her head slightly, "I wasn't in the castle at all last night... Your way of handling it was right, but before that, we can go find out the truth. Hmm...

Did you really only see one dead person?"

"Yes," Fanny nodded affirmatively, "it was the male wizard who had been with the young master of the Taylor family. His death was unremarkable."

"If that guy is alone, things won't be out of control." Maka narrowed his eyes and thought for a moment, then waved his hand, "Let's go! Let's take a closer look first!"

When the situation is still unclear, his active appearance is also a way of disturbing other people's attention. Therefore, he must rush to the scene as quickly as possible to prevent someone from deliberately throwing out something while he is not present.

Unfavorable news for him.

With Fanny leading the way, Maka soon came to a corner in the corridor, only to find that it was already crowded with people. Over the heads of the wizards, she could easily see Maxim, who had just separated from him.

Madam also arrived in a hurry. Her unusual height and figure made her stand out in the crowd.

And there was a translucent white shadow floating in the air next to her, which was naturally the ghost of the Hohenheim family - Mr. David.

"When I passed by just now, there weren't as many people as there are now..." Fanny looked at the crowded corridor in front of her, leaned next to Maka and said softly, "Mr. McClain, you need me to ask them to get out of the way.

?"

When Maka heard this, she waved her hand uncomfortably.

"Does Mr. Blois often do this?" he said helplessly, "I don't have as much sagacity as him, so I don't dare bother you to open the way... Just wait."

As he spoke, he took out two large and thick magic books from his waist and tossed them casually and let them hang at his feet. Most of the people in front were looking forward, but no one noticed his little movement.

"Come on, stand up -" Maka stretched out her hand and motioned for Fanny to put her hand on her arm, "I'll take you there."

After saying that, he took the lead and stepped onto one of the books, hovering unusually skillfully only a few inches above the ground.

When Fanny heard this, she guessed what Maka wanted to do. But using the floating spell to fly is not something ordinary wizards can do. Everyone knows that it cannot be used directly on oneself. So, in the past

Only wizards invent magical items such as broomsticks and flying carpets in order to be able to move stably and accurately in the air.

However, with a firm spirit of work, Fanny nervously stepped on another floating magic book. When she felt a solid force coming back from her feet, she opened her eyes wide and showed a hint of wonder.

look.

She is also an excellent witch trained by her family. Although she has been working hard for her family in recent years, she still has a very solid foundation in magic. So she can at least understand that Maka

The ability to control the floating spell has reached the point where it can be fine-tuned in sync with her stepping weight.

Standing on the hanging magic book, it felt as if she had her feet on the ground. This wonderful feeling made Fanny couldn't help but lightly tap her right foot again.

"Stop stomping," Maka quickly stopped, "Although I don't read this book very often, it is still a book!"

Fanny immediately realized how inappropriate her actions were. She immediately nodded slightly and stood carefully on the book, no longer daring to move at will.

When Maka saw her standing up with her arms on her, she controlled the two books to slowly rise into the air at the same time, float over the crowd, and slide to the innermost side very steadily.

For a moment, the wizards all subconsciously tilted their heads, and then looked at Maka and Fanny walking forward with astonished faces.

"Who was it just now? Then...oh! Maclean from Hogwarts!"

"Levitation spell?"

"Look what I saw - two people flying on books? Is this some new flying product?"

"One is "Simple Spells to Fool Muggles", and the other is "The Theory of Magical Defense"... I have read both of them, and they are both the kind of things that people cannot read."

Amidst the discussion of a lot of people, Maka came to the corner of the corridor ahead. Fanny, who was standing next to him, couldn't help but feel that this would not trouble others, but in terms of high profile, it was better than letting her open the way.

Much more conspicuous.

"Mrs. Maxim, what's going on?"

Of course, Maka didn't pay attention to other people's eyes. As soon as he arrived, he looked around the corner of the corridor while asking.

Sure enough, the guy who fell to the ground was the gloomy-looking guy from yesterday.

He was seen leaning against the wall, his arms hanging on both sides of his body, and his head drooping feebly. And his legs were stretched straight forward, slightly diverging to both sides.

The bangs in front of his forehead were a bit long, and he also lowered his head, so those standing in front could not see the expression on his face. Maka was hanging in the air at this time, and could only see

The back of his head.

But the light sensor sensed that the magic power in his body was constantly escaping, and Maka knew that this guy must have been dead a long time ago.

"I don't know, I just arrived." Mrs. Maxim looked at Maka, who was hanging in the air, her expression still as solemn as before.

As early as the Triwizard Tournament, she had already witnessed Maka's ability to step on and fly, and now she would naturally not show any surprise. On the contrary, the ghost Mr. David on the side was at the feet of Maka and Fanny.

He looked back and forth over the magic book, seeming to wonder whether it was some kind of very creative flying tool.

"Is his wand still there?" Maka thought for a moment and said, "Maybe there are some clues left in it."

"It's still there, but I guess there are no traces left on it," Madame Maxime shook her head and said, "Look! It's well inserted on the inside of his robe! It seems like he was beaten.

I was caught off guard and didn't even have time to draw my wand..."

To be honest, judging from what Maka saw outside the old housekeeper Edward's room at that time, the wizard of the Taifler family had a very strong reaction ability. Even if he was attacked in secret, he might not be without resistance.

He was knocked down. It was precisely because of this judgment that Maka used extremely fast speed to kick him away.

"Did I strike too hard?" He muttered secretly.

It actually makes sense when you think about it. Although this man's death was not caused by Maka, it might actually be closely related to him.

At this moment, some chaotic sounds suddenly appeared in the crowd, as if someone was saying something. Maka glanced back sharply, there was nothing unusual on her face, but her eyes were constantly patrolling the crowd.

With.

Since someone committed a murder last night, some rumors are bound to appear today. This method is very common and even a bit cliché. The more people who use it, the more effective it is. Not to mention whether those rumors can be used to guide people.

Other forces, at least if they are used to create chaos, must be very effective.

What he is most concerned about now is who this rumor will be related to. Is it him, Maca McClain? Or some other force?

Most of the wizards present are subordinate members of various forces, and a very small number of them participated in this legacy event in their own name. It can be said that a large number of people's heads are not rusty, and they can judge unexpected situations

, naturally everyone has his or her own ideas.

It can be seen that many people remain silent and are in a state of watching with cold eyes. Only a small number of people are gradually showing hesitant expressions, but their eyes are directed towards Maka...

"No, not myself."

Maka discovered that all those eyes were on Mrs. Maxim beside him!
