How wizards learn science and technology

A white cat appeared at Merlin's door.

He came home from get off work to find the cat lying on the side of the front steps of the apartment.Merlin couldn't help but look at the white cat twice more, it wasn't afraid, it raised its head and barked softly at him, as if greeting the owner of the apartment.

This made him stop.

The white cat's long fur is white and clean, and its eyes are bright, like a lost domestic cat.Merlin squatted down. His original intention was to see if the cat was wearing a collar with affiliation written on its neck, but he did not expect that the moment his wide palm stretched out, the white cat also raised its paw, solemnly Desperately pressed the back of his hand with a meat pad.

White cat: "Meow."

Merlin: "..."

Don't let me touch it, it's really cold.

Seeing the cat's attitude of "I'm so smart, you're going to get out of here", Merlin laughed out loud, and his mood of worrying about work instantly improved a lot.

He has a headache recently, because the Aurors in the wizarding world are changing their positions.This had nothing to do with Kings|man, but the wizard who was in charge of liaising with the outside world took advantage of the change of term to submit a retirement application and went home to take care of himself.

Handing over work with wizards has always been a hassle—this is the 21st century, living people can connect mechanical prosthetics and fight robots like superhero comics, and the wizards next door still use owls to communicate? !

That's an owl!

When Merlin received the letter from the new Auror, his mood almost collapsed: he spent nearly a month teaching the previous Auror how to use the phone more than ten years ago, and he really didn't want to go through it again.

So this time, when Merlin received the letter sent by the new Auror with an owl, he euphemistically expressed his complaints about the backwardness of science and technology in the wizarding world, and hoped that the other party could ask his "Muggle" friend how to use the phone communication.

Fortunately, any troubles are not a problem in front of cats.

Merlin is not a cat slave, but who would dislike a beautiful and clean cat.He looked sideways and found that it was not wearing a collar, so he had to stand up: "Okay, since you won't let me touch it."

After thinking about it, he turned and left the door of the apartment, turned back to the supermarket on the street, and bought a few bags of Miaoxianbao.Merlin originally thought it was fate to squat in front of his house, and treated the white cat to dinner, but he didn't expect that it had disappeared after paying the money and returning.

Cat heart, sea needle.

Merlin shook his head helplessly, unlocked the lock and went home. Just as he was about to put the Miao Xian Bao into the kitchen locker, he found the white cat lying on the window sill outside the kitchen window, with sparkling gray eyes, motionless Looking at him, there is a kind of "Blue Star people, why don't you let my master in?"

Now there is no need to put away the fresh fresh bag. Merlin opened the window, and the white cat walked into his kitchen with graceful steps. He found a bowl, opened the fresh fresh bag, and handed the bowl to the white cat.

Unexpectedly, it just sniffed it, and turned its head away without interest.Merlin thought for a while, and brought it another bowl of fresh water. The white cat didn't even look at it, it just jumped off the cabinet and walked out of the kitchen unhurriedly.

With such courage, it is estimated that it is really not a domestic cat, even if it is, it should be a free-range cat.Merlin followed the white cat with great interest. It walked around Merlin's apartment like a queen who came to inspect the people's conditions. That posture couldn't help but make Merlin a little confused: this is really a cat ?

Until it finally stopped in Merlin's study room, jumped onto the sofa next to his bookshelf, just stopped in the middle of the softest sofa cushions, regardless of Merlin following it, and lay down firmly with its paws.

Ok.

Seeing this posture, it is probably a cat that is so smart that it is about to become a smart cat.

"Then I don't care about you," Merlin said to the cat, even though he knew very well that cats don't understand human speech, so he looks like a fool, but he still couldn't control himself, "You can do what you want, guest."

After all, he didn't have dinner, and he still had a lot of data to sort out.

Merlin returned to the kitchen, thought for a moment, and after simply frying chips and fish, he decided to work while eating—there was too much information left, and he didn't like to delay work until tomorrow.

So Merlin brought the French fries and fried fish to the study, and he also paid attention to the white cat: it was still lying on the sofa, with its eyes closed, and its ears moved when Merlin opened the door, but he ignored it.

Those who didn't know thought it was the owner of the apartment.

Merlin shook his head, turned on the computer, and flipped through his private mailbox.

Almost immediately, he heard a soft sound, and then the furry white shadow approached deftly.The white cat sat by Merlin's hand, it sniffed the French fries on the plate, and glanced at his computer screen.When Merlin met the gray eyes of the white cat, he suddenly became vigilant: Could it be that some villain organization used cats to steal information?

But there is no secret information in his private mailbox, mostly messages from friends and family.Merlin tentatively answered a few emails and found that the white cat was indeed looking at the screen, but it soon lost interest.

The almost fine cat turned its gaze to Merlin, flicked its tail, stretched out its fluffy paws, moved the fried fish on the plate to the table, lowered its head and took it away.

Merlin: "..."

"Hey!" Merlin couldn't bear it anymore, but his reaction was not as fast as the cat's. Just when he was about to block it, the white cat had already jumped to the ground.

Hearing his shout, the white cat walked gracefully and looked back at Merlin, then turned its head nonchalantly and ran out of the study.

Merlin had to get up and follow, but it was too late.The nimble white cat ran away with the fried fish in its mouth, and left his apartment through the open kitchen window, leaving Merlin alone, facing the empty kitchen.

The next morning, when Merlin arrived at the Kings|man stronghold, he unexpectedly received an email from a stranger.

Dear Mr. Merlin:

Thank you very much for your suggestion, I took some time to observe and study your Muggle communication methods.I have to say that it is indeed more efficient than the owl.In the future, you and I can use e-mail to communicate, and I will further study Muggle science and technology.

Ps: Can I ask you a few questions, what is the use of the forwarding function of the mailbox?Aren't Muggle letters received and sent one-on-one?What are attachments?
