The Wind and the Eagle Wings at Hogwarts — Chapter 257 257. Scott prepares to return to England

Scott took out his wand and cast a revealing spell on the Les map on the table.

“Reveal yourself urgently!”

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

Scott put down his wand, took the map and looked over it several times, but he still couldn’t see any clues.

There are only two possibilities for this situation.

Either this map requires a specific secret command to open like the Marauder’s Map.

Either this map is too old and the magic attached to the parchment has faded.

He looked up and asked Amelia, “Has my great-grandfather ever seen a map move with his own eyes?”

Emilia said: “It was precisely because I saw it accidentally that my grandfather took action to obtain it. After that, my grandfather retired from the underground gang war in London and secluded himself in Spain to study this map.”

Scott asked again, “Then did he tell you the scene under which he saw the map move? Did anyone say anything at the time?”

Emilia recalled, “My grandfather told this story. A London businessman got this map of Leith. Out of a desire to show off, he held a banquet for it…”

Amelia’s grandfather Billy Hill, one of the most powerful gang bosses in the London underground at the time, was also invited to the party.

Of course, his nemesis Jack Porter is there too.

The London businessman showed off the authentic Leith map he had accidentally obtained at the banquet, and tried his best to exaggerate the magic of this map——

Piri Reis drew a map containing the Antarctic continent in 1513. The map also shows the scene when the Antarctic continent was not covered by ice many years ago.

However, modern people did not discover this frozen continent until 1820.

The ostentatious businessman believes that there is nothing more magical and legendary than this map.

Billy also took a close look at the map at the invitation of the businessman.

At that time, only a few people could watch it up close.

At first, the invited people did not realize that there was anything magical about the map. Even the businessman who owned the map only used it as a talking point and a means of showing off.

But just when Billy’s interest in the map disappeared and he was about to give a few perfunctory compliments, the patterns on the map started to move.

Although it only moved for a moment, Billy knew that it was not his imagination.

Because at that moment, he saw the expressions of several other people watching at close range also change.

Although several people, including Billy, were calm and did not discuss the matter afterwards, after the banquet, several people started a bloody battle around the map.

And Billy won the final victory.

“…That’s all my grandfather told me.” Emilia said, “I’m sorry, he didn’t go into detail.”

Scott pondered for a while and finally sighed.

It seems that it is not easy to unlock the secrets of this map.

However, he did not have time to do more research on the map for the time being.

Scott looked up at Michael and Amelia and said softly: “I need to get back to England as soon as possible.”

“Are you going back to England?” Amelia nervously held Scott’s right hand, “Why do you want to go in person? If you want to give the map to others, you can ask Shay to do it!”

Scott shook his head, “No, it’s safer if I go in person this time.”

Because he was still unwilling to send the map just like this, he finally secretly chose another somewhat risky method of handling it.

Amelia’s hand tightened, “But…”

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

“No!” Amelia shook her head, “I can’t let you go alone!”

She suddenly let go of Scott’s hand and stood up.

“I’m going to tell Caleb that we can move again! Move to a place where others can’t find it!” She said and wanted to turn around and rush out of the room.

“Milly!” Michael quickly stood up and hugged her, “Calm down, Milly. We can’t escape, we can’t escape from the earth.”

Milly said angrily: “What should we do? Do we really want Scott to solve this problem alone? He is not an adult yet!”

“Don’t worry, there’s no danger.” Scott quickly smiled and comforted her, “Trust me.”

Amelia stared into Scott’s eyes, “Are you telling the truth?”

“Of course.” Scott said with a smile, “You are too nervous, Mom.”

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

He smiled and said to Emilia: “I plan to go only for a few days and will return to Madrid soon. July 13th is my birthday.”

After hearing what he said, Amelia’s expression improved a little.

Scott walked to the room and picked up the deformed lizard skin bag on the desk. After leaving the room, he glanced towards the hall downstairs.

At this time, Caleb was sitting alone in the empty hall.

Scott walked down the stairs and sat down next to Caleb.

He spoke confusing truth, “Uncle, I have made contact. It should be safe here for the time being, and I will return to England with the map tomorrow.”

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

“Of course, it’s settled,” Scott said with a smile.

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

He took out a brand new mobile phone from his pocket and handed it to Scott, “You must remember to keep in touch with us.”

Scott reached out and took the black phone, holding it in his hand and looking at it.

Nokia 1011.

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

He looked at Caleb with some embarrassment, “This… there should be no signal in the magic world.”

Caleb raised his eyebrows, “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 will remember to contact my family.”

Caleb nodded with satisfaction.

“By the way, uncle.” Scott said while playing with his phone, “I need you to find someone to help build an integrated cabin.”

He took out a notebook and pen from the shapeshifting lizard skin bag, wrote down the dimensions of the cabin, tore off the paper and handed it to Caleb.

Caleb didn’t ask him what he needed a cabin for. He just took the piece of paper, looked at it, and said directly to him: “You will see it at the manor tomorrow morning.”

After saying that, he started calling someone to build the wooden house overnight.

Scott had a somewhat restless sleep that night.

He suddenly woke up from a dreamless sleep at 4 o’clock in the morning.

After waking up, Scott had no intention of going back to sleep.

After washing and dressing up, he went directly downstairs and followed the magic perception to the place where the thief Fletcher was detained.
