Scott made his way through the cramped shelves to the counter.

He looked to the left and right, moved a barstool and sat down.

Michael put down his coffee, took a bunch of keys out of his pocket, and used a copper key to open a drawer hidden behind the counter.

He took out a carved wooden box encrusted with several gems from a drawer and placed it on the counter.

Scott took a closer look and saw that the wooden box was very old, and even the gems set on it were a little dusty.

"What is this?" He asked curiously.

"The point is not the box."

Michael used the bunch of keys to find an extraordinarily small golden key and unlocked the box.

"The focus is on what's in the box."

He opened the lid of the box, then spun it around to show Scott its contents.

That's when Scott saw the tattered pieces of parchment in the box.

"Didn't you say that the parchment that was given to you the last Christmas was useful?" "Then I found some more. ”

Scott was stunned, then laughed, "Thanks, Dad, I love it." ”

He suddenly understood why Michael wanted to keep the antique store open.

Michael was noncommittal in his gratitude, "Let's see if these things are useful, I know that the last time I found something related to wizards was because of luck, and our luck is not always so good." ”

Scott nodded, carefully taking out the fragile pieces of old parchment that were in the box and taking a cursory look at them.

"Maybe we're lucky." He took out a hide hidden in the parchment and placed it on top, "I'm sure this parchment is from a wizard. ”

The contents of this animal skin are all written in ancient magic script, and it is already very obvious.

Michael immediately laughed.

"It seems that my efforts were not in vain." He said happily, "By the way, this hide is also from England, although it is a little troublesome, but I have not cut off the old channels." ”

Of course, Scott could have imagined that it must have taken a lot of effort for Michael to get his hands on these special "antiques".

But he didn't say anything more thanks.

There is no need to be so polite between father and son.

He just shook the animal skin in his hand lightly, smiled and said, "I'll use it well." ”

Michael, of course, understood what his son meant.

"It's good to be usable." His face was silent, but his tone softened a lot, "I couldn't find a way here when I first came to Spain, but now with the help of your uncle, I have hooked up with many people, and I will find more and more things in the future." ”

Scott did not refuse, nor did he say that there was a limit to what could be found in the Muggle world that would be useful to wizards.

"Then please, Dad." He just laughed and said it.

Michael nodded "reservedly", "That's all I can help you with, and if you still need any difficult materials like before, just tell me, and of course, your uncle will also help." ”

"I see."

Scott answered, looking down at the hide in his hand.

He decided to take advantage of the fact that he had nothing to do in the past few days and translate the contents of the animal skin first.

Ancient magic scripts are magical words, but they don't have just one usage. Although the contents of this animal skin are written in ancient script, it is possible that it was only used as pure text.

After saying goodbye to Michael, Scott went straight home and said hello to Amilia, he went straight to the study, took out the two workbooks "Runi Dictionary" and "Advanced Runi Translation" from the deformed lizard's skin bag, and began to translate.

Although this antique animal skin that Michael acquired was written in ancient script, that is, Runi script, Scott didn't take it too seriously.

In the wizarding world, such ancient, runic texts are not uncommon, but not all of them are valuable.

In many cases, the ancient documents found by wizards may be just a diary written by an ancient wizard in Runi script, only to find that the whole text is full of nonsense, and there is no record of any magical secrets or magic circuits, or in other words, this kind of "document" is only barely of some value in archaeological aspects.

In short, there are only a few ancient documents that are truly valuable.

Parchment like the one Scott had obtained earlier that recorded the secret recipe for the alchemy of the [Ring of Arson] was truly rare, and such valuable documents rarely came out, let alone into the hands of Muggles.

It was precisely because of such an attempt that Scott did not have much hope this time.

But as the translation work unfolded, his attitude soon became solemn.

It is true that the contents of this animal skin do not record the magic secrets and magic circuits, but it does record the adventures of an ancient wizard in the ancient ruins, which aroused Scott's great interest.

[A place of silence, a tower that extends to the center of the earth.] ］

According to the records on the hide, it seems to have been an extremely dangerous adventure.

[Seven depart, one returns.] ］

This is the end result of this adventure.

[One died in the fire, one in the deep water, one at the top of the tree, one at the bottom of the tower, one at the rockfall, one in the subsidence.] ］

[Six died of the curse, and the one who escaped by luck could not escape the shadow of death for the rest of his life.] ］

The expressions of ancient scripts were completely different from those of modern languages, and many words represented multiple meanings, and Scott could only determine the meaning of most of the words for a while.

If he wants to fully understand the truth about what is written on this hide, he may need some help.

More importantly, he also needs to determine whether this is the real experience of an ancient wizard or an apocryphal article.

Scott took a small, blank picture frame from the deformed lizard's pouch and placed it on the table.

He pulled out his wand and tapped it lightly three times on the edge of the frame.

"Dear mentor, your apprentice needs your help."

An elegant and luxurious figure slowly emerges on the blank canvas in the frame.

"Is this your home in the Muggle world?"

Ravenclaw, who appears in the small frame, first looks at his surroundings.

"This is Muggle life after a thousand years?"

Her eyes were full of curiosity.

Scott didn't bother her either.

It took a while for Ravenclaw to turn his gaze to Scott.

"What's wrong, my apprentice, for you to call for help from your mentor."

"My father, a Muggle antique dealer, found an ancient document from wizards in the Muggle world, and I found something wrong with it."

Scott picks up the hide and shows it to Ravenclaw.

Ravenclaw glanced at it, his face changing slightly.

"A tower that extends to the center of the earth?"

Unlike Scott, who had to translate word by word with the help of a reference book, she could understand the general content with just a glance.

"I've heard the legend." She whispered, "Or rather, my contemporaries have heard the legend." ”

Scott obviously didn't expect this, "So, this hide has been preserved for more than a thousand years?" Is this a true experience of an ancient wizard, or is it just a legend? ”

"I can't tell right now." Ravenclaw looked at the hide again, "It's written in more detail than the legends I've ever heard. ”

"Based on the description above, we can even determine the location of the Tower that extends towards the center of the earth, but ......" Scott hesitated.

"If this legend you've heard is true, it must be a very dangerous place."

Ravenclaw nodded, "An adventure without a definite value would be meaningless. ”

Of course, Scott thought so, but he didn't know what to expect, and he wouldn't venture to describe such a horrible place.

"I've written it down." Ravenclaw added, "I'll talk to your professors about this and see if they're interested in finding more clues from other literature." ”

Scott nodded in agreement.

"Enjoy your vacation, then, my apprentice."

Ravenclaw smiled and disappeared into the frame.

Scott looked at the hide in his hand again.

[The island of the Arctic Islands, the longest day, the place where the shadow of the Standing Rock points to.] ］

The Far North group of islands is supposed to refer to the northernmost archipelago of Scotland, the Shetland Islands.

Standing Stone, which is supposed to refer to the Standing Stone of Stenness on the island of Meenland.

The island of Meenland is also quite famous, with many relics of early civilizations, such as the Neolithic village site of Scalabre, the Meshoway tombs, one of Scotland's most important archaeological sites, and the Standing Stone of Stenness.

But Scott had no desire to find out at this time.

He put away the hides in his hand and left the study.

For the next few days, Scott spent his vacation in a relaxed state of mind.

The way to relax is to play games at home.

A few days later, Scott continued to enjoy himself, but Emilia couldn't take it anymore.

"Honey, you should go out more and play more than you stay at home all the time." She said to Scott, "Your Aunt Flora complains that Ramiro always doesn't come home during the summer holidays, but you never go out, and I'd rather you like to play around like Ramiro." ”

Scott put down the gamepad and looked back at Emilia standing in the doorway.

"Where shall I go, dear mother?" He shrugged his shoulders, "I don't have any friends in Madrid. ”

Emilia said, "Why don't you go play with your Ramiro cousin?" As far as I know, it was you who turned down his invitation, several times? ”

"Alcohol, party, girl." Scott reluctantly said, "You know, I'm not interested in those. ”

Amilia's eyes widened, "You're only 16 years old, my darling, you should be interested in those girls!" ”

Scott was a little speechless.

"I'm really interested in pretty girls, but I can't talk to them."

Emilia gave him a disdainful look, "You also said that there is an alcohol party, who wants to talk to you in that kind of place?" ”

Scott was lying on the floor laughing, "Oh, are you teaching me how to be a bad boy, Mommy." ”

Emilia walked into the room and sat cross-legged next to him.

"I just want you to relax." She touched Scott's face, "I always thought you had a hard time at Hogwarts. ”

"Why do you say that?" Scott asked curiously.

Emilia curled her fingers and tapped his forehead, "You have matured so quickly, it seems that you have crossed adolescence from childhood to adulthood." ”

"Maybe it's magic." Scott continued to smile.

"In short, it's summer vacation, and it's time to relax." Emilia tugged at Scott's face again, "I've called Ramiro and he'll pick you up after dinner." ”

"Oh...... Leave me alone. Scott raised his hand to cover his eyes.

"That's it."

Emilia couldn't refute and stood up directly.

"I'll go pick you a set of clothes for the night."

She seemed a little impatient.

Scott sighed.

He also found out two days ago that Emilia had also bought him a lot of clothes when he was not at home.

All sorts, bells and whistles.

Even though some of them didn't fit because he was taller, Emilia still enjoyed it.

==== I still owe some that I haven't written.,I'll make it up immediately.

The island of Meenland is also quite famous, with many relics of early civilizations, such as the Neolithic village site of Scalabre, the Meshoway tombs, one of Scotland's most important archaeological sites, and the Standing Stone of Stenness.

But Scott had no desire to find out at this time.
