The taste of the "vomit" potion was terrible, and the moment he finished drinking, Merlin subconsciously retched once.It's really hard to describe the taste.If you had to find a graphic description, it would be like mixing the juices of a dozen kinds of rotten fruits, then adding a lot of chili powder to them, adding cheese, and baking them in the oven for more than 10 minutes."
Feed this thing to pigs, and pigs won't drink it."
Merlin threw away the bottle and complained.However, for alchemists, such a taste is actually normal.At the moment of the birth of the wizarding civilization, at the moment when the alchemy system matured, from the moment of the birth of potions, this thing never tasted good.Because wizards often add a lot of weird things to their potions, if you want to ensure the effect of the potion while ensuring the taste of this thing, it is definitely making things difficult for the alchemy masters.Merlin had heard little Hermione say that the best potion she had ever drunk was a magic potion, like countless slugs that had been crushed and added some honey to the aroma and taste.And this thing can be called "delicious", so you can imagine how bad the other potions will taste.As for the elixir, it is a high-grade potion called "luck potion", which can make the person who takes it lucky for the next 12 hours, which sounds great, but in fact, the effect of the elixir is difficult to define, according to Hermione, the so-called "good luck" is actually mainly to improve all aspects of ability.For example, social skills, magic skills, reflexes, etc., after these abilities are greatly improved, people will feel that everything is going well.That kind of "luck" is actually just a subjective effect, and the process of preparing the elixir is extremely difficult and complicated, so Merlin gave up the plan to configure this lucky potion.However, the blood-red potion that Merlin drank just now was unpleasant, but the effect was very real.It was like a fire ignited in Merlin's stomach as the disgusting potion flowed down his throat, and the pain of burning his guts made Merlin clench his fists, he was used to suffering, it wasn't a big deal to him, but it was just the beginning.In the intense surge of pain, Merlin subconsciously put his hand on his chest.He could feel his heart beating wildly, like a war drum being beaten madly, and in the beating of his heart, another beating melody sounded under his chest as if in response.That's another heartbeat!
It's like another form of life that is about to emerge from an eggshell.Merlin knew that this meant that everything was going well, that the potion had worked, and that he was about to enter the final stages of the true Animagus Transfiguration Charm.His vision blurred, and in his mind, the forms of thousands of animals emerged, chaotic like wildly beating patterns on a slot machine.It represented Merlin's Animagus in animal form, which he could not have chosen on his own initiative.According to the records of the wizarding forerunners, the transformation of the Animagus is a 'fate' choice, and each wizard has its corresponding animal form in the underworld, and no one knows what they will become until the transformation spell is truly completed.It could be a handsome wolf, or it could be a sloppy dog.It could be a hero with wings spread, or it could be a big rooster that can only crawl on the ground.It could be the mysterious and dangerous golden beetle, or it could be the worst shell.Everything is a choice of fate, and wizards simply cannot interfere with it.However, the only thing that is certain is that the transformation form of Animagus will definitely not include magical creatures, and even ordinary transformation charms will not allow it to change into the form of magical creatures, because the magic of wizards is fundamentally different from the magic of magical creatures, and once it changes into a phoenix at will, it is very likely to cause very extreme consequences."
Come on, come on."
Merlin sat cross-legged on the ground, in the dizziness of his brain, the forms of those animals in his mind were quickly screened out, like a pair of invisible hands, constantly pulling down the lever of the slot machine, so that those patterns kept turning on and off.After a dozen seconds, Merlin could only see a few animal forms.There are roaring wolves, which should be related to the inheritance of the witchers of the wolf school he accepted.There are sinister foxes, which should have something to do with Merlin's profession.There are mysterious, pure black owls, which should have something to do with the dark magic in Merlin's body.Finally, there's a raven that bears a striking resemblance to Victor...
It's ugly.Well, this is probably what the wizards call the mysterious connection between the Animagus Transfiguration Charm and the Guardian of the Gods.It is said that if a wizard has mastered both the Animagus Transfiguration Charm and the Guardian of the Gods, then his animal form will definitely be similar to the spirit form of the Guardian of the Gods.This is a myth that has no basis for any theory, but it is believed by wizards, and it is said that this phenomenon is caused by the interplay of body and soul."
The wolf is fine, and the fox is good," Merlin muttered inwardly."
I really can't do it, I can accept the owl...
But ravens...
No!
No!
It's ugly!
”With Merlin's pleading, fate finally answered him.The first to be extinguished was the apparition of the wolf, which made Merlin's heart sink a little.Then the phantom of the fox was quickly extinguished in the beating of the light, Merlin's breathing became rapid, and he stared at the apparition of the owl, but after a few seconds, the phantom was extinguished as quickly as a candle in the wind."
No!!"
Merlin let out a wail, but nothing could be stopped.Almost instantly, Merlin felt his body begin to change in an eerie posture, like plasticine being rubbed at random, he felt his body being extremely compressed, his clothes and glasses on the bridge of his nose began to melt into his rough skin as if they were catalyzed by magic, and the magic gloves on his hands also turned into a leather similar to scales in the crooking of his fingers.His arms folded involuntarily and began to transform into real wings.And his legs quickly became slender, supporting his body in a strange posture.He could feel a tingling sensation on the skin behind his back, as if countless feathers were growing out of his skin, and he felt his mouth elongated and then sharpened, like a real bird's beak.Frankly, it's a terrible feeling.The feeling of not being able to control your body is like being put in a damn shackle, and the worst thing is that when you've lived in human form for almost 30 years, you've become accustomed to walking on your legs, shaking your hands, and occasionally whistling, and suddenly stuffing your soul into the body of an animal, that completely different, looking at the world and that awkward sense of the body, will make you fall into an uncontrollable panic.But for Merlin, he had seen too many strange things, and the change of his body alone was not enough to make him feel frightened.But that discomfort remains.The first transformation process was a bit long, and it took several minutes for Merlin to derive the last feather on his wings.At this point, he completely turned into a black and gray raven, standing on the ground with an awkward posture, moving the bird's head flexibly and somewhat dazedly, looking at the world in front of him from a completely different perspective from that of humans."
Everything has gotten bigger...", this was Merlin's first feeling."
It's a shame to feel undressed, and I don't know how Professor McGonagall survived...""
Alas...
Why can't I fly?
”This is Merlin's third sense.He kept flapping his huge wings in place, but his comical posture was like a rooster fluttering on the ground, and no matter how he flapped his wings, it was difficult for him to fly.Even because he was not familiar with the way birds jumped and jumped, when he habitually took the first step, he fell to the ground."
Woohoo!"
A shrill hiss came from behind Merlin, and as he turned around, he saw Victor, the Raven Spirit, standing on a branch with a look of confusion and mockery, staring at him.It may be difficult to understand why Merlin turned into a raven almost identical to him, but that didn't stop Victor from laughing at Merlin's clumsiness."
Silly bird!
Come down!
”Merlin scolded: "Come teach me to fly!"
”Of course, in his current state, the sound he made was the sound of birds chirping, and the sound of the raven was already very unpleasant, so for a while, Merlin seemed to become noisy."
Woohoo!"
Victor flapped his wings and landed lightly and gracefully beside Merlin, who tilted his head and looked at him.Merlin's shape-shifting raven is a lap larger than Victor, with a wingspan of nearly 2 meters and a body length of more than 1.5 meters when it spreads its wings, making it easy to mistake it for a smaller eagle if you don't look closely.But if you look closely, he is much uglier than the majestic eagle."
Woohoo!"
Victor let out a scream, flapping its wings, as if to signal Merlin to learn its movements.Merlin stared at the rhythm of Victor's wings, he also began to flap his wings, with the howling wind sweeping the feathers on his wings, Merlin felt an increasingly strong updraft, and after a few seconds, he learned Victor's movements, his whole body rushed forward, and in the movement of the wings, Merlin's whole body rushed into the air lightly.He experienced this strange but novel sensation, relaxed the muscles of his wings, and began to glide slowly.He circled the valley, then folded his wings and fell to the ground quickly, stretching out his claws like a harrier eagle, and grasping the wand on the ground in his hand lightly, and the next moment, Merlin's wings spread out, and let out the first loud and unpleasant hiss, and the whole person rushed into the night sky like Victor in flight.In the cold air, he carefully maintained his body balance, like a beginner in flight, trying to overcome his fear of flying into the air.Human beings, from the day they were born, have the dream of flying, moving their wings like a bird and roaming freely in the boundless sky, which represents the extreme yearning for freedom.And now, Merlin also has wings of his own.He quickly adapted to the wings, and he flew more and more freely, higher and higher, and in the icy night rain, Merlin walked through the streets and alleys of the city, observing the city below with a very different vision than the fog incarnate.It's like a real aviator.He and Victor flew in the rain one after the other, and after ten minutes, Merlin gathered his wings and landed on the steps in front of his house.He imagined his human form in his mind, and in the twisting and changing of his body muscles, he quickly returned to his human form."
Uh" Merlin breathed a sigh of relief, reached out and pushed the door open, hooked his fingers again, and took the wand back from the ground, he said to himself, "It's still comfortable like this." ”The Animagus Transfiguration Charm, like other magic, is not just mastered, it also requires continuous practice to shorten the time and duration of the transformation, in the early days, the release of the Animagus Transfiguration Charm requires the assistance of a magic wand, but for the advanced Animagus, the Transfiguration becomes an instinct.As soon as their mind moves, they can instantly transform into animals.Of course, while the Animagus has gained strong concealment and camouflage abilities, its animal form also has its own disadvantages.In the animal form, the Animagus cannot release magic, which makes the wizards' self-preservation ability in the animal form extremely poor, and once they are seriously injured by the enemy in the animal form, then the price is very heavy.Merlin opened the fridge and pulled out a glass of Coke, which he drank as he sipped the cheerful drink as he walked into his study.He turned on the light, then pulled back the curtain that blocked the wall of the study, and in front of his eyes was a large drawing.With various arrows and symbols, it indicates what Merlin is currently working on and all the plans that he has prepared for the future.He picks up his pen and crosses out the question mark from the image of old Steve, adding a line of words and Stan's name, indicating that the clue has progressed.But this line of words, compared to the dense question marks on the drawing, the contrast is still too strong.This means that Merlin has a lot of questions, but few answers.He folded his arms and leaned against the table behind him, looking at the clues marked with symbols on the drawings in front of him, and Merlin's expression became cold in this cold rainy night."
Hydra...", he looked at the emblem of the red skeletal octopus in the center of the drawing, he took a sip of Coke, and whispered, "Then...
Let's play 'hide and seek'. ”()
