After dinner that day, Maca went back to her room early to rest—at least to the others, he did. At the end of the dinner, he said this to Madame Maxime, and many of the guests heard it.

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

For this gathering of various forces, Maca didn't plan to mix too much with it from the beginning, it was just a cover. The focus of his trip is this time of the evening.

Just in case, he left Fanny in his room.

At this moment, Maca was walking briskly down the hallway. He made his way up the stairs to the top floor, where there was a seemingly unremarkable door to the east of the top floor of Beauxbatons Castle.

He stepped forward gently, and instead of knocking, reached out and touched the doorknob. With a faint fluctuation of mana, the locked room flicked its deadbolt on its own.

The door opened automatically.

Maca didn't hesitate, and after quickly entering the room, he closed the door behind him. With a soft click of the lock, the door was locked again.

It was only after he had relocked the door that he had time to take a closer look at the room.

As you can see, this is also a temporary guest room. Although the various daily necessities in the room are exquisite and complete, and it is obvious that a lot of thought has been put into the layout, the space here is not large.

Just by looking at the traces of life everywhere on the table and bed, you can know that there are people living here.

Maca was obviously coming to this room for the first time, but he didn't seem to be curious about the place, and needless to say, he had come here with a clear purpose.

He just casually checked the place, and when he noticed a chair with armrests by the window, he went over and sat down, as if 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 flipped through it.

As time progressed, it didn't take long for him to sense a source of mana ...... No, it's not one, it's two.

When he sensed that there seemed to be two wizards coming this way, Maca knew that it wasn't the person he was waiting for.

So, just as the two sources of magic power were about to stop outside the door, he immediately cast the Animagus transformation, turned into a hummingbird and flew out of the window, stopping in mid-air to watch the change.

It seems that someone wants to visit the people who live here.

"Tuk Tuk"

There was a knock on the door, and the other party naturally didn't wait for a response. And when they knocked on the door twice more and made sure that there was no one in the room, they directly cast a spell to unlock the door.

Maca didn't set a spell to prevent others from opening it, he just re-locked the door itself. And now, the other party easily unlocked the door, and then the two wizards broke in directly.

“…… He hasn't come back yet. It was a calm male voice that sounded familiar.

Maca peeked in from the window, and sure enough, it was the two guys from the Tefulle family. But seeing that the middle-aged wizard still had a gloomy face, he carefully examined everything in the room, and said a casual word to the young master of Nataforle.

"Then let's wait a minute!" Young Master Teffler thought for a moment and said, "At present, most of the people have already had dinner, and the old butler surnamed Lemay should be coming this way. ”

Yes, this is the room where Edward, Nicol Lemay's old butler, lived.

Seeing that the two guys didn't seem to have any intention of leaving here, Maca didn't startle the snake. Although his affairs were important, he was not in a hurry, and besides, the old Edward had not returned, so he felt that it was better to take another look.

As the two in the room had said, the old butler was indeed on his way back. Soon after, when old Edward pushed the door in, the two men of the Tauffler family immediately stepped forward.

"Hello, Mr. Butler." Young Master Tauffler greeted him with some hypocrisy, "Come here rashly, and ask the old gentleman to forgive me......"

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

He didn't say anything stupid, "Why are you here?", and he didn't have to think about it to know that the two men must have also been aiming at the legacy of their deceased master's family.

Hearing this, Young Master Teffler nodded slightly.

"If you may, please let me know more about the estate of Mr. Nicol Lemay." He chuckled, "For example, what exactly Monsieur Lemay left behind; Like, where are those things now? ”

The young master of the Tefler family had already graduated from Beauxbatons, and speaking of which, he was several years older than Maca! At the moment, although he is still somewhat immature, at least he will not be as "tender" as Maca's appearance. These prickly words in his laughter, combined with his gradually adult face, still have a bit of a threatening feeling.

If it were Maka like this, I am afraid that in front of people who are not familiar with him, I am afraid that it will always give people a strange sense of disobedience.

However, old Edward is also a lot of age after all, and who hasn't seen anyone in the years he has accompanied his master to run around? The threat of a wizard who had just come of age was nothing in his eyes.

What made him even more vigilant was the middle-aged male wizard who followed Young Master Tefleur. The so-called "banshees who tell jokes never eat children", those who don't say a word, are often more dangerous.

Of course, no one knows if there is a banshee who can tell jokes.

"I don't think I can do that yet," said old Edward shaking his head, "sooner or later, the Lord's legacy will be made public, but not now. I think you can go back and wait, I believe it won't be too long. ”

When Young Master Tefuler heard this, he immediately snorted lightly.

"Old butler, I don't think it's necessary for us to wait," he could see, his smile growing colder, "you see, no one else knows what room you live in in this Beauxbatons, and we know it." Don't you think that's a very beneficial thing for us? ”

"Perhaps!" Old Edward said noncommittally, "But do you want to do it here?" In my opinion, this is not necessarily a good idea. ”

Young Master Tefleur snorted coldly, and the next moment, his eyes narrowed, and there was a dangerous look in his eyes.

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

Before he could finish speaking, the wizard who had been standing beside him immediately drew his wand. He didn't choose to attack old Edward in the first place, but cast a spell on the room first.

For a moment, the sound in the room seemed to freeze, and only silence remained.

Outside the window, Maca saw a sudden change in the situation in the room, and he immediately wanted to intervene to help. But when he realized that old Edward was not without resistance, he stopped his attempts to strike.

Most people in the wizarding world don't know much about alchemy. Many wizards think that this is a research-oriented discipline similar to Potions, and all they have to do is crouch in the lab and work hard.

Yes, that's not wrong, every alchemist spends a lot of quality time in his laboratory. But just as apothecaries can prepare potions, the vast variety of alchemical products are the result of the efforts of alchemists day in and day out.

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

The characteristic of alchemy products is that everyone can use them, even if it is a squib, it can also use some alchemy items that do not need to consume mana, or have their own mana storage to achieve a certain purpose.

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

Just as Master Tauffler drew his wand and pointed it at Steward Edward, the latter suddenly waved his arm. The moment his palm was released, a large piece of sand and gravel shining with earthy yellow light was directly swayed out by him, silently covering the other two people.

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

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

However, if you look closely, you can still see that the sand and gravel are indeed slowly settling, but the speed is very slow, and it is difficult to find it in time if you don't pay attention to it.

"It's all petrified!"

Master Tauffler's spell came a little too late, and in that little less than a second, old Edward's arrangement made his spell completely useless.

Tefleur was stunned for a moment, subconsciously glancing at his wand, not knowing how the sand scattered in the air had affected his entire body of the Bondage Charm.

The cold-faced wizard on the side didn't act rashly, he reached out and waved his palm in front of him, shaking the grit. The sand and gravel suddenly flowed along with the air currents he brought with him with the wave of his hand, forming two small whirlpools in the air.

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

Unexpectedly, the whirlwind became smaller and smaller, and it didn't take long for it to completely dissipate.

The wizard's brow tightened.

Neither of them had yet discovered the effect of the gravel, but Maca did. To be precise, he could sense the abnormality of the magic power of the young master of the Taforler family when he cast the spell just now.
