The meeting with Daemon was not pleasant, and the real son of Satan did not feel comfortable.Merlin could feel that under the disguise of Damon's calm and steady appearance, there was also a slightly insane and evil soul hidden.But the good news is that Dimon really respected his promises, just like the legendary devil, and he quickly took over the trouble with the devil's badge.According to Zakang's information, in just five days, all the cultists related to the Pentagram in New York City seemed to have disappeared out of thin air.This saved Merlin a lot of trouble.For the rest of his life, he took Melinda and Coulson on a variety of other-worldly and paranormal troubles in and around New York City.For example, disturbed ghosts, ghouls who are hungry for flesh, some daring vampires, and werewolves who can't control their wild nature on full moon nights.It's all a little trouble.After Melinda and Coulson overcome their fear of being different and dispel stereotypes, these two excellent newcomers have grown up at a breakneck pace.Relying on the holy silver bullet in his hand, as well as some exorcism charms made by Merlin, after a few months, the two of them were already able to deal with some troubles on their own.This also put Merlin at ease and began to let the two newcomers act on their own.Seeing that the time was approaching June, Merlin asked Nick.
Fury takes a leave of absence, and he has to seize the last moment to try to master more magic knowledge and spells.The summer vacation of 1995 was almost coming to the young wizards, and it was Merlin and Arthur.
Mr.
Weasley's agreed date for the return of the magic textbook.Merlin didn't want to risk offending a British Ministry of Magic official by hiding the magic books in default, so for the last month, he barely left the house, and devoted himself to the magic textbooks every day, except for the necessary breaks.This almost autistic life lasted until July 1.London, Heathrow, 9 a.m.Merlin, dressed in a gray suit, dragged a suitcase and yawned as he walked out of the crowded airport.The dark circles under his glasses are obvious, which means that he has hardly had a good rest in this period.He stood on the side of the road, watched the gloomy weather overhead, then waved down a taxi and headed straight for the Leaky Cauldron.When Merlin arrives at the Leaky Cauldron, Mr.
Arthur is already waiting for him in the bar.The official from the Ministry of Magic was sitting at a table on the edge of this shabby, dimly lit little pub in a medieval style, and beside him was a child Merlin knew very well."
Merlin!"
Hermione, who was drinking the juice, saw Merlin, and she waved her arms at her with joy.This former little girl has really grown up, and she hasn't seen her for more than 2 years, her size has jumped sharply, and her original face with a hint of childishness is also full of the vitality that young children should have.She is a 15-year-old girl, no longer always wearing a black witch robe, but changing into a white casual shirt and jeans, which sets off her beautiful figure, and combs her once fluffy hair more softly, and paints light makeup on her face.This made Merlin almost unrecognizable to her, but the joy that danced in those big eyes made Merlin can't help but smile.He walked over to Hermione and Mr.
Arthur, pulled out a stool, sat down beside them, and waved the bartender for two cocktails.Merlin noticed that Mr.
Arthur had been drinking with his head down, and after 2 years of not seeing him, the mild-mannered gentleman's hair was getting thinner.And judging from his slightly gloomy expression, he should have something on his mind."
These are the books, Mr.
Arthur."
Merlin opened the suitcase and took out the quaint wooden box, which he placed on the table in front of Mr.
Arthur's eyes.He pushed the wooden box towards Arthur, and he said, "Now the thing belongs to its rightful owner." ”"Oh, good, good."
As if awakened, Mr.
Arthur looked at Merlin, then at the wooden box at hand, and he smiled awkwardly at Merlin, and then reached out and put the wooden box back into his worn leather bag."
I thank you very much, Mr.
Arthur."
Merlin took another item out of his suitcase and placed it in Arthur's hand."
So I brought you a gift too.""
Huh?"
Arthur picked up the note, which was the address of a warehouse near the London airport, and looked at Merlin suspiciously, who shrugged his shoulders at him: "I have a new business computer and a lot of CDs in the warehouse, which stores a lot of knowledge about the technology system you are interested in. ”Merlin chuckled and said, "There's also a detailed instruction manual, so you don't need to worry about not knowing how to use it." ”"Oh, the computer?"
Mr.
Arthur's expression came alive at this point, and he did not refuse Merlin's return salute.He put the note in his purse and said to Merlin, "I saw it once at a Muggle friend's house, and it was really amazing that the boxy iron box, which looked like a mechanical elf lived in it, like a magical puppet made by some ancient wizards with their own consciousness. ”"I've always wanted to study that thing, these products from the Muggle world are fascinating, and I have to thank you, Merlin, for the gift I really like."
The middle-aged man with thinning hair laughed, reached out and patted Merlin's shoulder, and said, "But the gift can be talked about later, I am more interested in, Merlin, does this set of books help you?"
”"Of course."
Merlin nodded, and he said seriously, "It not only helped me, but also saved my life." ”He looked at Hermione, who was drinking juice beside him, and said, "I will remember you two for your selfless help."
And of course, the magical spells described in these books also fascinated me very, very much. ”At this point, Merlin suddenly remembered something, he turned his head to look at Arthur, and he asked, "Speaking of which, Mr.
Arthur, I have been wondering about something.The textbooks you gave me were Hogwarts house textbooks from grades 1-7, and this knowledge could help young wizards become full-fledged wizards, but what about after that?
How to start the study of magic after the official wizard?
”Merlin asked, "Or do you learn through a specific magic book?"
Or, in an older way, by word of mouth?
Or find a tutor and learn one-on-one?
”"I have that answer for you, Merlin."
Hermione suddenly raised her hand, attracting Merlin's attention, the big girl drank the juice that seemed to never finish, and said to Merlin: "After the little wizards pass the examination in the academy, they will be the real official wizards." ”"There is no such learning mode as an academy for formal wizards, just like you adults need to find a job, formal wizards often find a job in the wizarding world first, and then further improve their magical strength by buying some powerful wizards' books, notes, or taking some private lessons with great wizards.""
Also, if a full-fledged wizard joins the Ministry of Magic, he can read the books in the Ministry's library and learn more complex magic, depending on how many years he has served the Ministry."
Mr.
Arthur added, "The more advanced the magic spell, the longer it will take to study.There are currently more than 20,000 spells in the wizarding world, and new magic is being developed every year, so even the most powerful wizard can't learn all of them. ”"Is that so?"
Merlin suddenly realized, but then a new problem arose.He looked at Mr.
Arthur and asked softly, "Then where can I buy the writings of those great wizards?"
I didn't find a book like this last time at the Blotted bookstore. ”"It's hard to buy, Merlin."
Mr.
Arthur shook his head and explained to Merlin: "The rules of the wizarding world are different from the rules of Muggles, when a formal wizard is looking for a job, in addition to the monthly salary, he will also pay attention to what he can learn, that is to say, the spell magic after these official wizards is monopolized by various forces. ”"Unless you're lucky enough to find some lost writings, you'll only be able to learn more valuable knowledge by joining certain forces.""
The Ministry of Magic is to regulate and control the wizarding world by monopolizing a large amount of knowledge, so many official wizards who have just graduated will choose to join the Ministry of Magic."
Merlin's face suddenly turned ugly.Hermione, however, noticed something else, her big eyes blinked, looking at Merlin, and after a few minutes, she suddenly asked, "Merlin, why are you asking these questions?"
Have you already finished reading the 7th grade textbook?

”"Well, I just finished reading it the day before yesterday."
Merlin nodded, and he said, "But I just finished reading it, and I didn't learn it, in fact, the most complicated spells I can cast now are only concealment spells and talisman spells, and no matter how complex the spells are, I am a little overwhelmed." ”"Concealment Charm!"
Hermione let out a sharp scream, causing everyone around her to look.This made the girl realize that she was speechless, and she hurriedly lowered her head and whispered to Merlin, "Are you sure?"
That's a 5th grade spell!
You've only been studying for 3 years, and you're still self-taught!
”"Yes, that's a fifth-year spell."
Merlin touched his chin and said to Hermione, "It's hard, it's complicated, and I practiced it for more than a month to master it."
Seriously, it's almost ten times more difficult than an intermediate transformation spell. ”"I don't believe it!"
Hermione looked incredulous, pouting and saying to Merlin, "You must be bragging." ”"Merlin."
Mr.
Arthur picked up the burning candle on the table and placed it in front of Merlin's eyes, he looked at Merlin, and he said, "Use the Transfiguration Charm to change it to the most delicate level you can manipulate right now, and let me see your level of manipulation of mana." ”It's like a tutor testing a student's ability, Merlin looks left and right, and there are many people around him, in this case, it is not suitable to use the strangely shaped Lola.So Merlin simply stretched out his hands and wrapped the candle.He closed his eyes and silently recited the incantation of the Transfiguration Charm in his mouth, and the magic flowing in his body was mobilized, changing the shape and nature of the candle little by little with the movement of Merlin's fingers.Transfiguration, a beginner spell that young wizards can learn in their first year, is also a very unscientific spell.It can turn one item into another out of thin air, such as turning a feather into a living spider.It is possible to temporarily transform physical properties that are almost impossible on a physical level, turning stones into gold and glass into diamonds.But in essence, Transfiguration is just a deception, and the sophistication and duration of Transfiguration will vary depending on how skilled the wizards are at manipulating their magic.Arthur and Hermione looked at Merlin's folded hands, and after 3 minutes, Merlin, who had sweat on his forehead, breathed a sigh of relief, and he opened his eyes and opened his hands.A low roar emanated from Merlin's palm.The previous ordinary candle was turned into a fist-sized orangutan, covered with brown and black mane.It's like KONG has been shrunk dozens of times, but it's so vivid that even every mane looks extremely real.As soon as Merlin let go of his hands, the little gorilla swung her fists at Hermione, flapped them in the chest, and let out a ferocious roar.But anything scary can be quite funny and cute when it's scaled down.HERMIONE WAS IMMEDIATELY AMUSED BY THE LITTLE ORANGUTAN, AND SHE STRETCHED OUT HER FINGER AND FLICKED IT ON THE FOREHEAD OF THE MINIATURE VERSION OF KONG, CAUSING THE LITTLE GORILLA TO ROLL IN A CIRCLE.It got up from the ground, shook its head humanely, and then let out an angry roar and jumped at Hermione.Merlin's faint magic on the little gorilla dissipated at this moment, and the orangutan that jumped into the air quickly turned back into its original candle, slashed through the air, and fell at Hermione's feet."
That's the best I can do."
Merlin took a handkerchief from his pocket, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said to Mr.
Arthur: "If you want to control the degree of precision, you can't prolong the transformation time, which means that I will need some time to practice." ”"It's already possible."
Mr.
Arthur shook his head, and said, "Looks like I underestimated your talent, Merlin.When I'm your age, I struggled to turn candles into copper whistles, you can ask little Hermione, she learned the Transfiguration Charm 2 years ago, but she can't turn candles into living things now..."
Hermione nodded vigorously, and there was a cult adoration for Merlin in those big eyes.It's like a little fan girl."
You're so powerful, Merlin, this is already the category of intermediate transfiguration, maybe you can master advanced transfiguration after practicing for a while."
Mr.
Arthur also stood up at this moment, and he seemed to have made up his mind, and he said to Merlin, "Come with me, and we will go to the house and talk in detail." ”The thin-haired middle-aged man winked at Merlin and said, "The Weasleys are also pure-blood wizard families, and we also have some great wizards' writings.If you can do me a favor, Merlin. ”"I could consider sending you a few books
