Chapter 557 The Power of Alchemy

After dinner that day, Maca went back to his room early to rest—at least to everyone else, he did. That's what he said to Madame Maxime at the end of the dinner, and many guests heard it.

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

For this big gathering of various forces, Maca didn't intend to get involved too much from the beginning, it was just a cover. The focus of his trip lies in this period of time tonight.

Just in case, he left Fanny in his room.

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

He walked forward gently, without knocking on the door, but reached out and touched the doorknob. As the faint fluctuation of magic power disappeared in an instant, the locked room opened the deadbolt by itself.

The door opened automatically.

Maca didn't hesitate. After quickly walking 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 the time to take a closer look at the room.

It can be seen that this is also a guest room for people to live temporarily. Although all kinds of daily necessities in the room are exquisite and complete, and it is obvious that a lot of thought has been spent on the layout, but the space here is not large.

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

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

He just checked here casually, and when he found an armchair with armrests by the window, he went straight over and sat down, as if he was waiting for someone.

The waiting time is always boring, and it's not in his character to just sit here and wait. Soon, he took out a book related to alchemy and flipped through it casually.

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

When he noticed that there seemed to be two wizards walking this way, Maca knew that they were not the ones he was waiting for.

So, just as the two sources of magic power barely stopped outside the door, he immediately cast his Animagus transformation, turned into a hummingbird and flew out of the window, stopping in mid-air, intending to wait and see what happened.

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

Tuk Tuk Tuk

There was a knock on the door, but the other party naturally couldn't wait for a response. And after they knocked on the door twice to make 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 just now, he just re-locked the lock of the door itself by the way. But 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 very familiar.

Maca sneaked a peek inside from the window, and sure enough, it was the two guys from the Taylor family. However, the middle-aged wizard still had a gloomy face, carefully inspecting everything in the room, and casually said something to Master Taylor.

Then wait a while! Master Taifle thought for a while, Most of the people have already had their dinner, and the old butler surnamed Lemay should be coming this way.

Yes, this is the guest room where Edward, the old housekeeper of Nicole Flamel's house, lived.

Seeing that those two guys didn't seem to have any plans to leave here, Maca didn't startle the snake. Although his matter was important, he was not in a hurry. Besides, the old Edward hadn't come back yet, so he thought it better to take another look.

As the two in the room said,

The old butler was indeed already on his way back. Not long after, when old Edward opened the door and entered, the two members of Tyfuller's family immediately stepped forward.

Hello, Mr. Steward. Master Taifle greeted with a bit of hypocrisy, Please forgive me for visiting rashly...

Oh? Old Edward frowned and stared at the two uninvited guests in front of him, paused before asking, I don't know what you want me to do when you two come to see me?

He didn't say such stupid things as why did you come here? You don't need to think about it. These two people must also be aiming at the legacy left by their deceased master's family.

Hearing this, Master Taifle nodded his head slightly.

If possible, please also inform me about the details of Mr. Nicole Flamel's estate. He chuckled and said, For example, what exactly did Mr. Flamel leave behind; for example, those things are now in the where?

The young master of Tyfuller's family has already graduated from Beauxbatons. Speaking of which, he is several years older than Maca! Although he is somewhat immature right now, at least he won't be as tender as Maca's appearance. These few words with a sting in his smile, combined with his gradually grown-up face, also felt a bit threatening.

If Maca behaved like this, he would always give people a strange sense of disobedience in front of people who are not familiar with him.

However, after all, old Edward is quite old. During these years of running around with his master, who hasn't seen him? The threats made by a wizard who has just grown up are nothing to him at all.

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

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

I don't think I can do that yet, Old Edward shook his head. Sooner or later, the inheritance of the master's family 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 Taifle immediately snorted softly.

Old butler, I don't think it's necessary for us to wait any longer. It can be seen that his smile is gradually turning cold, Look, no one else knows which room you live in in Beauxbatons. I know. Don't you think it's a very good thing for us?

Maybe! Old Edward said noncommittally, But, do you want to do something here? In my opinion, this may not be a good idea.

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

You'll know if you try it?

Before he finished speaking, the wizard who had been standing by his side immediately drew out his wand. He didn't choose to attack old Edward at the first time, but cast a spell on this room first.

For a moment, the sound in the room seemed to be frozen, leaving only silence.

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 found that the old Edward was not helpless, he stopped trying to make a move.

In the entire wizarding world, most people don't know much about alchemy. Many wizards think that this is a research-oriented discipline similar to potion science, and all they need to do is to squat in the laboratory and tinker vigorously.

Yes, there is nothing wrong with that, every alchemist will spend a lot of good time in his laboratory. But just like pharmacists can prepare potions, a wide variety of alchemical products are also the crystallization of alchemists' day-to-day efforts.

Old Edward was just a housekeeper. He was not an alchemist himself, but he had a great alchemist master who was rarely seen in the world.

The characteristic of alchemy products is that everyone can use them. Even a squib can use some alchemy items that do not consume mana or have their own mana storage to achieve certain goals.

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

At the same time that Master Taylor also drew out his wand and pointed it at Butler Edward, the latter waved his arm suddenly. The moment he let go of his palm, he directly swayed a large piece of earth-yellow sand and gravel, silently covering the other two.

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

In a blink of an eye, the room was filled with these gravels.

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

All petrified!

Master Tyfuller's spell came a little later, and in less than a second, old Edward's arrangement made his spell completely useless.

Tyfler froze for a moment, and subconsciously glanced at his wand, but he didn't know how the gravel scattered in the air affected his full body binding spell.

The cold-faced wizard at the side didn't act rashly, he stretched out his hand and waved his palm in front of himself, shaking the gravel. The gravel immediately flowed together with the airflow brought up by his waving hands, forming two small eddies in the air.

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

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

The sorcerer's brows tightened suddenly.

Those two guys haven't discovered the effect of these gravels yet, but Maca has. To be precise, he could sense the abnormality in the magic power of the young master of Tyfull's family when he cast the spell just now. harry potter book of crimes
