Fairy Tail: I'm just an archaeologist

The Holy Lord from another world.

The Nirbit clan that created"Nirvana". The

"Black Mage", the originator of black magic and the creator of demons.

The birth of dragon-killing magic.

The Black Dragon of the End that made the dragon clan withdraw from the stage of history.

Anna, the ancestor of Heartfilia who made a contract with 12 golden spirits. The thought of so many people and events gathered 400 years ago made

Xia Zuo unable to suppress his curiosity, but unfortunately, only a few documents about that era have been preserved to this day, and many contents have been passed down in the form of legends, such as the story of the"Black Mage" and the black dragon.

Wait a minute!

Xia Zuo looked at the teacup in his hand and remembered where he was, the Heartfilia family! A magic family with a long history and heritage! And 400 years ago was exactly the time when their ancestor Anna disappeared.

"Mr. Jiude, I would like to ask you for a favor."

"I want to take a look at the past records of the Heartfilia family."

Xia Zuo's fiery gaze made Jiude swallow his saliva. If he didn't agree, would he be beaten like the first time they met?

But on second thought, he had already broken the rules of his ancestors, so what if he broke it again?

Anyway, there are only him and his daughter Lucy left in the Heartfilia family. As long as Lucy is not hurt, Jiude doesn't care about breaking any rules.

Jiude agreed to Xia Zuo's request,"As long as Mr. Xia Zuo promises not to destroy the ancient books passed down in my family, it will be fine."

"No problem, I'm an expert in this area."

Looking at the archaeological gloves that Xia Zuo had put on at some point, Jiude secretly blamed himself. He had known Xia Zuo for several years, but why did he always ignore the archaeological work that he claimed to be his main job.

Jiude felt that Xia Zuo must have shocked him too much when they first met.

Is there any archaeologist who can knock down five strong bodyguards in one second and then punch a potential investor?

"Please follow me, Mr. Xia Zuo. Jiude stood up and led the way.

Deep in the mansion, after one magic verification after another, the Heartfilia family's collection of books finally appeared in front of Xia Zuo.

"Mr. Jiude, your family's security is excellent. No wonder the family can grow so big and strong without the support of powerful wizards."

Xia Zuo recalled the endless array of spells along the way, such as defense, killing, restriction, etc., as well as the traps hidden in the walls and corners of the buildings.

If there were no people in the name of Heartfilia who took the initiative to lead the way, the invaders would never be able to easily pass through these magic accumulated over hundreds of years.

"Haha, to be honest, this is actually my second time to come to the family library. The last time was when Lucy was not allowed to approach and the library was sealed off."

Jiu De's talent is all in business, and he has no interest in the magic and history of the family he married into. After all, he is not a history lover and has no magic talent.

After praising the heritage of this century-old family, Xia Zuo stopped talking nonsense and stretched out his hands.

【[Lost Magic Library] was activated.

A magic circle full of light immediately dispelled the darkness of the library.

Within the magic circle, Xia Zuo did not need to manually flip through the books. He only needed to close his eyes and perceive with his mind, and he could know the contents of the books in an instant.

Unfortunately, Xia Zuo's magic was incomplete.

The complete library magic was called [World Library], which could know all the knowledge and information in the world. Unfortunately, it had been completely lost thousands of years ago.

Only the library magic with greatly incomplete functions was left, sleeping in the ruins, and later obtained by Xia Zuo.

Xia Zuo rarely used [Library] because the disadvantage of this magic was too prominent: it could not be performed at the same time as other magic.

That's why Xia Zuo asked Xiang of the Blue Pegasus for help many times and borrowed his ancient book magic.

Only in the heavily defended secret room of the Heartfilia family could Xia Zuo use [Library] with confidence.

After 10 minutes, all the contents of the Heartfilia family's collection were recorded by Xia Zuo in his [Library].

After sorting out the [Library] in his mind, Xia Zuo found what he was looking for.

There were only three records about 400 years ago.

First, Heartfilia's ancestor Anna used 12 golden keys to open an unknown door and entered with 5 children.

Second, Anna left a family precept, asking future generations to reopen the door with 12 golden star keys on July 7, X777.

Third, Anna and the"Black Mage" are good friends!

These three pieces of information exploded in Xia Zuo's mind, stirring his thoughts.

The reason why Lucy's mother suddenly used magic after giving up her identity as a magician seemed to be to open the door that Anna entered.

Although the records did not describe the appearance of the door and Anna's purpose, this did not prevent Xia Zuo from making guesses.

Anna disappeared in the door with 5 children and arranged for her descendants to open the door again 400 years later.

Since the door was opened, something must have come out of it.

Xia Zuo could only think of one answer, that is, would it be Anna and the 5 children who came out of the door?

And that mysterious door may be a magic or magic prop that can travel through time.

And 400 years ago, who had the ability to make such a masterpiece?

That person's name was just clearly recorded in Xia Zuo's [Library]

"Black Mage"——Jellal!

It's good to have a direction. Xia Zuo plans to investigate it carefully after returning. The black magic and magic props created by the black magician may help him find clues to the gate.

Turning to Jiude who was waiting for him silently, Xia Zuo was silent for a while and then opened his mouth.

"Mr. Jiude, you no longer have to worry about Lucy being entangled in your family's mission."

"Because your wife Leila has completed this mission.

Jiude was stunned. He didn't expect that Xia Zuo's first words to him after putting away the magic were like this.

"That is to say, Lucy can study magic freely and happily instead of being locked up at home by me and feeling unhappy.……"

Jiude's expression gradually collapsed. It turned out that his worry was wrong from beginning to end. Not only did it hurt his daughter, but it also made him and his daughter more and more distant.

"Leila...I failed to take good care of our daughter.……"

Xia Zuo sighed. If Leila had told Jiude the truth, or Jiude had paid more attention to the ancestral books, he and Lucy might not have ended up like this.

There are many ifs, but in the end, it was Jiude's own stubbornness and choices that led to the current situation.

Fortunately, the misunderstanding has been resolved. Jiude is only about 40 years old and has a successful career. He has plenty of time and financial resources to repair his relationship with Lucy in the future. As the sun sets, after politely declining Jiude's carriage, Xia Zuo carries a large box containing hundreds of PHSs and sets off on the road home.
