Chapter 676: Showing a Hand
In the middle of the study, Charles lifted the stone slab on the floor and pulled out a box made of gold that could hold a basketball from a hole in the floor.
Curious, he opened the box and saw gold coins inside.
Then Charles took out the stone slab at the bottom of the cave, and under the slate was a silver leather chest, which contained pieces of high-grade magic crystals.
Charles then took out the stone slab from the cavern again, this time in a copper box containing a diary containing some of Maffia's daily life and understanding of ordinary magic.
Charles closed the box, and he took out the stone slabs in the cave, as well as the tin and wood chests in the cave, which contained a scroll of magic scrolls and a parchment book.
He looked back and looked helplessly at Mafia, who was sitting there drinking tea, and thought to himself that this mother-in-law could play.
If you are an ordinary person, you will be satisfied after discovering the top gold coin, and you will not find the more and more precious treasures below.
Now that Maffia has charged Charles's high tuition fees, she naturally told him the key to it.
Charles followed Maffia's instructions and moved all the books in the wooden box and placed them on the coffee table, and he flipped through the pages to find that the books were all about specialized magic.
At this time, Maffia said on the sofa, "You have come into contact with the law, and that is only the first step. β
"It's like a beginner who has just grasped the handle of a sword, but someone who has not learned swordsmanship will not be able to fully use the power of a long sword. β
"It can be said that the law is the long sword, and the specialized magic is the sword technique. β
Charles nodded as if he didn't understand.
Maffia pointed to the books in the wooden box and said to Charles, "I will stay for twenty days, during which time you will read these books first, and if you don't understand, ask me, and you will have to explore them yourself." β
Charles immediately picked up the book on the coffee table and looked at it, for fear of wasting a little time.
The first book was about some introductions, understandings, and speculations about the laws, and Charles looked at a few pages to find that there were many annotations and notes in the margins of the pages, and he also found Elizabeth's familiar handwriting.
Maffia, who was drinking tea on the side, noticed Charles's surprise and said: "This book has been circulated for a long time, and it has been written by generations of researchers, and you can write your own results later when you reach a high level." β
Charles nodded, and sat down to continue reading the book.
This book can be described as a collection of essays on the study of laws, including those who have left their mark on history, such as Charles Sr. and Catherine.
I don't know how long it took, but Mafia suddenly said seriously: "Charles, let me ask you a question. β
Charles looked up and asked, "What's the problem?"
Mafia asked solemnly, "Does the eldest sister have a marriage partner?"
Charles blinked, not expecting Maffia to ask about the stubble.
He shook his head and said, "I haven't found out that she has a couple or anything." β
"Tsk......" Maffia's expression looked very depressed.
Charles looked at Maffia suspiciously, unable to understand why she was doing this.
Maffia pointed to the box on the other coffee table, which was originally placed in the study, and according to her settings, Charles had to open the box all the way to the study in order to become the owner of the place.
However, Charles cleared the customs too much and jumped out angrily after planning to hide and watch the excitement.
Charles opened the box, flipped through it as Maffia had instructed, and pulled out a deed.
The content of the contract left Charles speechless, it was a gambling slip, and the content of the gambling was Elizabeth's wedding time.
Mafhya bets on Elizabeth to marry before the age of 400 paid 1:1.2.
Charles looked at the dealer and frowned.
He asked Mafia: "Excuse me, isn't that black bat a killer organization, how can it open a gambling game and sit in the bank?"
Mafia gave Charles a deep look and said, "I didn't think you knew a lot." β
Charles scratched his head pretending to be naΓ―ve, and said, "I understand a little, I've heard of it." β
Mafia said indifferently, "It's normal that you know some things. β
"When you reach a certain level, some people will take the initiative to find you. β
Charles thoughtfully put the contract back in the box and continued to sit on the couch and read.
It's just that Mafia doesn't seem to want him to read and study with peace of mind, and she asked again: "Do you have any thoughts about marrying the eldest sister?"
Charles hurriedly shook his head: "No!"
"Tsk......" Maffia began to do whatever it took to win the bet, "You can think about it, when the time comes, the money you win will be yours with interest, I'm just going to be angry!"
Charles continued to read the book and pretended not to hear what she had to say.
He saw that it was getting dark, and that Cesare, the butler, had come to them for dinner.
There are chickens here, and dinner is a soup made of roast chicken and chicken offal. The roasted chicken has no spices, only salt and a little lemon sauce, and the chicken offal soup is only carrots.
Mafia didn't speak during the meal, and Charles finished his dinner in silence, and then the two went back to the study.
Before leaving the restaurant, Maffia asked Cesare for a few raw eggs.
Cesare still hadn't recognized the young girl as his former owner.
At this point, Charles began to ask questions, and he asked, "Excuse me, can specialized magic be understood as attaching laws to magical elements, so that the magic composed of these magical elements has the specific effect of the law?"
Maffia flicked a small spark at the teapot, and the spark passed through the teapot, and the next moment a large puff of steam erupted from the teapot.
She replied, "The magic I released just now is only aimed at the spark of water, so it does not cause any damage to the teapot, and can pass through the wall of the pot and act directly on the water." β
"The reason why that spark has this effect is that I use the law to constrain the object of its action. β
"If this spark is cast on a person, it can pass through clothing and armor and act directly on the moisture in the human body. β
Then she took out three more eggs and placed them in three empty teacups, and she bounced a ping-pong ball's fireball at each of the eggs in the quilt.
Three flames exploded in the teacup, and after the flame disappeared, the eggshell of the egg in the first teacup was wiped out, but the eggshell membrane of the teacup and egg was intact, the inside of the egg was still raw, and the eggshells of the other two eggs were intact.
Then she cracked open two other eggs, one of which had a cooked egg white and an undercooked yolk, and the other egg only cooked the yolk and the egg white was still raw.
Maffia looked at the stunned Charles and asked, "Can you understand that?"
Charles nodded stunned, shocked by the scene in front of him.
