Chapter 71: 29.Christmas Gifts (I)


"Wow!

The latest sorceress robes!

”In Merlin's hotel room, little Hermione, who had finally returned from vacation, was holding a black wizard robe embellished with patterns, screaming excitedly.Just like the women who saw the latest Lv bag.It was Merlin's Christmas present to her, and today was December 17, 1992, a few days before Christmas."

I've seen this in Madame Morkin's robes shop, and it's the most popular style of the year."

Hermione held her robes and looked at Merlin, and she said, "It's too precious for me to want." ”As he spoke, the little wizard reluctantly returned the robe to Merlin, who reached out and touched little Hermione's hair, and said with a smile: "No amount of gifts can show my gratitude, little Hermione, take it."

Besides, I've heard from Mr.

Arthur that you've sacrificed too much to promise to date a stupid boy for my sake. ”Speaking of this, Hermione blushed and replied with some twists: "Ron is actually fine, just a little stupid, a little reckless, and a little poor, but after all, he is a descendant of pure-blood wizards, and his status in the wizarding world is quite high."

And compared to other pure-blood wizard families, the Weasleys are actually very friendly. ”"Okay, let's not talk about that."

Merlin stretched out his finger and pointed to the dozens of small bags of magical cat food stacked in the corner, Crookshan was lying on his cat food, his ugly face was full of happiness, and he was guarding his Christmas gifts as if he were guarding a whole piece of heaven."

Those things, they're for Crookshank, can you bring them back?""

Well, I'm having a hard time alone."

Hermione hugged her new robes, and she said to Merlin, "But I can get help, my friend Harry has a magic bag that his father left him, and he can easily pack these things and take them with him." ”"Well, okay then."

Merlin looked at his watch, he picked up his backpack and packed trolley suitcase, and said to Hermione, "Then I'll go first, little Hermione, my friend is waiting for me in Paris."

I'll call you next time I'm in London. ”"Is this leaving?

Merlin. ”Hermione reluctantly said to Merlin, "Aren't you going to stay and have a meal with my friends?"

”"Forget it this time, little Hermione."

Merlin shook his head, and he said gently, "Just as your friends are waiting for you, my friends are waiting for me." ”"Wait, Merlin, you went to Diagon Alley, did you get a wand?"

Hermione suddenly remembered something, and she asked curiously, "Merlin, can you show me your wand?"

”"Okay."

Merlin smiled, and he pulled Lola out of the special box hanging from his waist and placed it in front of Hermione's eyes, which drew an exclamation from the little girl."

Dumbledore is on top!

Red!

And claws!

”Hermione stood on her tiptoes and looked closer, her eyes widening and she exclaimed, "That's cool!

”She looked up at Merlin with a hint of anticipation in her eyes, "Mr.

Merlin, can I touch your wand?"

”"Touch it."

Merlin handed Lola to Hermione, and he advised, "Mr.

Ollivander said Lola has a bad temper, you have to...

Be careful!

”At the moment when Hermione's finger touched the wand Lola, a small dark red lightning bolt jumped up from the wand and hit the finger of the little Hermione who was caught off guard, and the huge magic power was like an invisible hand, smashing on the little wizard, making her scream and spin and fly out.Merlin's body dispersed into smoke, gathered behind him, and opened his hands to catch Hermione flying out.The dazed little wizard was unharmed, but she was really frightened."

Well, your wand does have a bad temper...

It's the first time I've seen such a character wand. ”Hermione looked at the red Devilclaw wand suspended in the air with some fear, and she said to Merlin, "It's...

Is it called Lola?

”"Yes, it's called Lola."

Merlin's hand waved, and the wand floating in the air floated meekly and landed in Merlin's palm, allowing Merlin to insert it back into the thin box fastened to his waist."

Your wand is as strange as your people."

Hermione pouted and said indignantly.However, the little wizard did not get angry, but carried Crook Mountain, who was unwilling to leave his food, and sent Merlin to the door of the hotel.Merlin sat in the car, shook her hand at Hermione, who was waving goodbye behind her, and lowered the window.In the driver's seat in front of him, a non-smiling driver in a trench coat whispered, "Mr.

Merlin, I'll take you straight to Heathrow, we've booked your ticket."

Chief Gatler is waiting for you in Paris. ”"Well, okay, thank you."

Merlin smiled at the agent who was driving, and instead of speaking, he leaned back in his seat, his eyes closed, and seemed to rest.But in fact, he was silently remembering the magic spells and spell models he had seen this morning, and after getting his wand, the magic in Merlin's body worked more easily, and the dark magic had been at least ten times slower to erode the soul, which meant that Merlin didn't need to worry about the magic out of control in a short period of time.Ah, I can finally live an easy life.A few hours later, Merlin's plane landed in Paris, and Gatler was waiting for him in the waiting room, as before.When he saw Merlin, dressed like a young boss in a gray casual suit and rimless glasses, Gatler stepped forward and gave his friend a hug.He reached out and took Merlin's trolley case and patted Merlin on the shoulder, and the old cowboy smiled and said, "You look good."

Merlin, it seems that your illness has improved?

”"Yes, met a good doctor in Brighton."

Merlin smiled, reached into his backpack and took out a box of modest cigars, handed it to Gatler, and said, "Merry Christmas, my friend." ”"Huh?

You've got a heart.But you're going to be disappointed, I didn't have a gift for you. ”Gatler took the cigar and looked it up and down, and he said suspiciously, "How come I have never seen this brand of cigar before?"

Where did you buy it?

”"You can't buy this thing out there."

Merlin laughed and said, "It's a really good thing, keep it and enjoy it slowly."

By the way, Gatler, can I send something from here to Fury them?

I also bought them gifts. ”"Absolutely!"

While leading the way in front, Gatler said to Merlin: "We have a special postal channel internally, which can be delivered to any base, and I originally wanted to go to have a meal with you first, but now it seems that we should go back to the base first." ”"Okay, you lead the way."———————————————————— a few days later, the location of the "island prison" was kept secret.Agent Patton looked puzzled and returned to his room with a box, which was a very spacious place to live in a prison with a high level of secrecy, but the walls of this room were made of metal, and it didn't look like a place to rest, but rather a prison."

Merry Christmas!"

Hawkeye Barton opened the box with the knife at hand, and there was a card with a line written on it, and the inscription was "Merlin.

Riley".Barton nodded knowingly, he set the card aside and picked up the contents of the box.It was a very shabby, looking like some kind of leather handguard, all a little whitish, as if they had been used by others for a long time.This strange Christmas gift made Agent Barton frown.He thought it was a prank from Merlin, but if he thought about it carefully, Merlin was so fanfare, and it was unlikely that it was a prank to send something from the internal circulation channel at this time when everyone needed to hide their whereabouts.A few minutes later, Agent Barton picked up the sharp paper cutter and slashed the worn gauntlet, but not a single scratch remained.This made Hawkeye's eyes widen, and he pulled out the fighting knife at his waist again, grabbed it with both hands, and stabbed it hard at the glove in front of him, only to fail to pierce it, leaving only a scratch.As Barton watched, the white scratch disappeared like a healed wound in a dozen seconds."

Weird stuff."

Hawkeye commented, and then reached out and put the glove on his hand, this glove is not the same as the kind of fingerless gloves he usually uses, as an archer, he must let his fingers touch the bowstring in order to better control the strength of the arrow, so under normal circumstances, he will not wear this kind of full-coverage glove.However, the old gloves that Merlin had sent were peculiar, and when Barton wore them, his fingers moved as flexibly as before, and he didn't even feel the glove's presence at all.But it did exist, and it was extremely tough, and Agent Patton suspected that even a pistol shot would not necessarily break it.For a top shooter like him, it couldn't be better to protect his hands with something like this."

Good stuff."

Hawkeye moved his fingers and sighed, but then Barton, who was not good at talking, frowned again."

Should I give him a gift back?""

That's...

What to send?

”After thinking about it, Hawkeye didn't think of anything Merlin needed, and eventually, he stood up, walked over to the suitcase he always carried with him, opened it, and took out a sheathed knife from it.He looked at the knife in front of him, and eventually, he shook his head and put it back again.Then from the side of the knife, he picked up a black Colt pistol and finally closed the suitcase.Agent Patton walked out of his room, ready to return his gift, only to be met by Black Widow Natasha.On weekdays, Barton would only say hello coldly, but today, he couldn't help but look at Natasha twice, not that Natasha had changed a little bit today, but her face looked very natural today, it should be without makeup, but the whole person looked radiant, as if she was several years younger out of thin air.And the most surprising thing is that Natasha is also holding a box in her hand."

Clint."

Natasha looked at Barton and the black pistol in his hand, and she asked, "What are you doing with the gun?"

Didn't you never use a gun?

”"Christmas presents."

Barton said succinctly, "For Merlin." ”"Oh, a return salute."

A strange smile appeared on the Black Widow's face, and she waved the box in her hand to Barton, and she said, "Me too, let's go with us." ”"Hmm."

Barton nodded, and walked with Natasha to the communications office at the remote island base."

Am I particularly beautiful today?"

“......”"

Well, I need another person's evaluation, and I don't know that the creams Merlin bought there are particularly magical.""

Well, it's beautiful."—————————————————————— just as Barton and Natasha were receiving Christmas presents, in an apartment in Brooklyn, New York, Fury, who had just finished dinner, also sat at his desk and opened the box in front of him."

Merry Christmas!"

He looked at Merlin's handwritten card, and a smile appeared on his swarthy face, but it was fleeting.Fury put the card aside and picked up the first thing in the box, which was a pair of sunglasses, quite old, and if Fury remembered correctly, his World War II father had such sunglasses.Fury can still see a lot of scratches on the frame of the old sunglasses, which means that this is not a brand new sunglasses, as if someone else used them.This made Fury a little upset."

It's not good to send things."

Fury snorted, put his sunglasses aside, and took out a second thing.It was a black flight jacket, also very old, which made Fury's depression even worse, and he slapped the flight jacket on the table, almost breaking it open."

It's not fun at all!"

A few minutes later, a puffing Fury came to the balcony with the old sunglasses, and his wife was preparing dinner.Fury's wife is a very mysterious woman, Fury hides her very well, protects her very well, and never lets his wife get involved in his dangerous secrets.The Level 3 civilian agent of the Strategic Hazard Intervention and Espionage Logistics Division was standing on the balcony, looking at the sunglasses in his hand, and he wanted to throw them away.But after all, it was Merlin's intention, Fury didn't throw it downstairs in the end, he sighed: "It's a little old, but it's a classic, I'll forgive you this time." ”After saying that, he casually clasped the sunglasses on his face, and the next moment, Fury's vision became extremely bright...

Faint, invisible magic wrapped around the lenses, making the dim night of the outside world no longer stop his eyes.Fury froze on the balcony, his head shaking from side to side like a fool, and everything was as clear as daylight as he could see.He could even clearly see the two young couples hiding in the dark in the garden downstairs.After a few seconds, Fury jerked off his sunglasses, and it was dark again in front of his eyes, and then he put them on again, and then he took them off, and put them on...

After going back and forth like this for 4 or 5 times, Fury finally decided.It wasn't a prank, Merlin did send a Christmas present, and the effect of this thing was something that would have amazed anyone as well-informed as Fury."

Damn it!""

I've got to prepare a return gift..."
