Scott took out his wand and cast a Transfiguration Charm on the Lacey map on the table.

"Hurry up!"

The glow of the spell enveloped the map, but the map remained unchanged.

Scott put down his wand and flipped through the map several times, but he couldn't see any clues.

There are only two that can cause this.

Either that, like the Spot Map, requires a specific secret to open.

Either that, or maybe the map is so old that the magic attached to the parchment has faded.

He looked up and asked Amilia, "Did my great-grandfather ever see a map move?" ”

Emilia said: "It was because I saw it by accident that my grandfather got it. After that, my grandfather retired from the gang struggles in London's underground and lived in seclusion in Spain to study the map. ”

Scott asked, "So did he tell you what he saw the map move?" Did anyone say anything at the time? ”

"Grandfather told me the story that a London merchant got this map of Lacey and threw a ......banquet for it to show off," Emilia recalled.

Emilia's grandfather Billy? Hill, one of the most powerful gang bosses in London's underground at the time, was also invited to that party.

Of course, his nemesis, Jack? Spot is there too.

At the banquet, the London merchant flaunted the real map he had stumbled upon, and tried his best to exaggerate the magic of the map—

In 1513, Piri Reis drew a map of the Antarctic continent, which was not frozen many years ago.

Modern people didn't discover this frozen continent until 1820.

Ostentatious businessmen believe that there is nothing more magical and legendary than this map.

Billy was also invited by the merchant to get a closer look at the map.

At that time, only a few people were able to see it up close.

At first, the invitees didn't find anything magical about the map, and even the businessman who owned the map only used it as a talking point and to show off his capital.

But just as Billy's interest in the map faded and he was about to give a few perfunctory compliments, the pattern on the map moved.

It was only for a moment, but Billy knew it wasn't his delusion.

Because at that moment, he saw that the faces of several other people who were watching up close also changed.

Although several people, including Billy, calmly did not discuss the matter afterwards, after that banquet, several people started a bloody battle over the map.

And Billy came out victorious.

“…… That's all my grandfather told me. Emilia said, "Sorry, he didn't go into details. ”

Scott groaned for a moment, then finally sighed.

It seems that trying to unlock the secrets of this map will not be an easy task either.

However, he didn't have time to study the map for the time being.

Scott looked up at Michael and Emilia and whispered, "I need to get back to England as soon as possible." ”

"You're going back to England?" Emilia held Scott's right hand a little nervously, "Why do you want to go in person?" If you want to give the map to someone else, ask Shay to send it! ”

Scott shook his head, "No, it's safer for me to go in person this time." ”

Because he was never willing to send the map like this, he finally secretly chose another somewhat risky way to deal with it.

Emilia's hand tightened, "But ......"

"Don't worry, Mom." Scott smiled slightly, "Trust me, I'll be fine." ”

"No!" Emilia shook her head, "I can't let you go alone!" ”

She abruptly let go of Scott's hand and stood up.

"I'll go and tell Caleb that we can move again! Move to a place where no one else can't! As she spoke, she turned and rushed out of the room.

"Millie!" Michael quickly stood up and hugged her, "Calm down, Millie." We can't escape, we can't escape from Earth. ”

Millie said angrily, "What then? Is it really up to Scott to solve this alone? He's not an adult yet! ”

"Don't worry, it's not dangerous." Scott hurriedly smiled and comforted her, "Trust me." ”

Emilia stared into Scott's eyes, "What you said is true?" ”

"Of course." Scott smiled and said, "You're so nervous, Mom." ”

Scott and Michael looked at each other and stood up, "I'll go talk to my uncle first." ”

"I plan to go only for a few days and I'll be back in Madrid soon, July 13 is my birthday," he said to Emilia with a smile. ”

Hearing him say this, Emilia's expression improved a little.

Scott walked to the room, picked up the shape-shifting lizard skin bag on the desk, and glanced downstairs down the hall after leaving the room.

Caleb was sitting alone in the empty hall.

Scott walked down the stairs and sat down beside Caleb.

He said the deceptive truth, "Uncle, I have already made contact, this side should be safe for the time being, and tomorrow I will return to England with the map." ”

"You're going back by yourself?" Caleb turned to look at his nephew, "Are you sure there is no danger?" ”

"Of course, it's already decided." Scott said with a smile.

Caleb stared into his eyes for a few seconds before nodding slowly.

He pulled a brand new cell phone out of his pocket and handed it to Scott, "You have to remember to keep in touch with us. ”

Scott reached for his black phone and looked at it in his hand.

Nokia 1011.

In his previous life, he had only seen pictures of this old antique on the Internet.

He looked at Caleb with some embarrassment, "This...... There should be no signal in the wizarding world. ”

Caleb raised an eyebrow, "You can always find an opportunity, whether it's a mobile phone or a landline, you should be able to find a way to contact us." ”

Scott could only nod, "Okay, I'll remember to contact home." ”

Caleb nodded in satisfaction.

"That's right, uncle." Scott said as he played with his phone, "I need your help building an all-in-one log cabin." ”

He pulled out his notebook and pen from the shape-shifting lizard's leather pouch, took the cabin to the dimensions, then tore off the paper and handed it to Caleb.

Caleb didn't ask him what he needed a log cabin for, he just took the piece of paper and looked at it, and said to him directly, "You'll see it at the manor tomorrow morning." ”

After saying that, he began to call someone to build a wooden house overnight.

Scott slept a little uncomfortably that night.

He suddenly woke up from a dreamless slumber at 4 a.m.

When he woke up, Scott had no intention of going back to sleep.

After washing and dressing, he went downstairs and followed his magic perception to the place where the thief Fletch was being held.
