How wizards learn science and technology

Phoebe led Merlin to a dark and dilapidated alley.

Merlin had never imagined that he could see this kind of street in England - surrounded by ragged or mysterious weird people, and shop windows filled with dead animals, skulls and other indescribable goods.

This is very close to the "wizard world" imagined by Merlin, but it is quite different from the image of wizards shown by Phoebe Lovegood and Harry Potter.

"follow me."

Phoebe whispered, and she grabbed Merlin's skirt.

"It's fine to pretend that nothing happened."

It didn't take Phoebe to tell Merlin to know: "I think this is the black market of your wizarding world."

Phoebe didn't respond right away, she seemed to be thinking about what Merlin meant by "black market": "This is Knockturn Alley, and some contraband and goods that are not easy to get are sold here."

That's really a black market.

"Will there be some dark wizards and black magic?" Merlin asked half-jokingly, "It's like a medieval story."

Phoebe laughed: "It's true, one of the lost books is a contraband about black magic, and only Knockturn Alley will sell it."

Merlin: "You don't reject contraband."

Phoebe: "I don't think there's good or bad magic, only wizards. Like your shell tech... um tech..."

Merlin: "Nuclear technology?"

"Yes." Phoebe breathed a sigh of relief. "Nuclear technology. It can bring convenience, but it can also create extremely terrible weapons."

"Oppenheimer will be pleased to hear that."

"Who?"

"Father of the atom|sub|bomb."

It’s just that Phoebe didn’t seem to have been exposed to the word atomic|bomb, she was a little confused, but apparently she couldn’t find a computer that could be used to search for Google in front of the wizard’s shop, so she just whispered the word silently, Make a note of it.

They stopped in front of a store called Borgin-Bock.

Merlin glanced at the huge black spider in the window, and moved his shoulders uncomfortably.The robe Phoebe had given him had a faint damp smell to it, and it was evident that Mr. Lovegood didn't wear it very often.

He followed Phoebe and pushed the door in, and the products in the store were even weirder: dead hands, staring eyes, and many specimens beyond Merlin's biological knowledge.

Phoebe didn't seem to like it very much either, and she always had a vigilant expression on her friendly face.

"Don't move things here," Phoebe warned.

Merlin would not mess around with products that almost had the word "dangerous" written on them.He just silently looked at the product description on the wooden sign next to the goods, making sure that Phoebe was always in his sight.

Until the door of the Bokin-Bok shop was pushed open again.

Phoebe, who was standing inside the shelf, turned her head to look at the visitor almost immediately. Merlin only had time to see Phoebe's surprised expression, and the next moment, she ran over.

Phoebe crashed directly into Merlin's arms.

Merlin felt his hand sink before he felt embarrassed, and then the young girl's slim figure turned into a white shadow, landed on the ground, and circled around.

"My God!"

A cry startled Merlin.

He first glanced at the purse that Phoebe had stuffed into him, then turned his head, and saw a white cat with fried hair and a young man who almost stepped on it.

The young man had light blonde short hair, was thin and pale, and showed disgust after he almost stepped on the white cat.The white cat gave the young man a huff, then retreated to Merlin with its tail blowing.

Only then did he notice Merlin.

Realizing that the white cat followed Merlin, the young man put away his disgust, and said coldly and arrogantly: "If this is the first time you come to Knockturn Alley, you'd better tell your pet to be careful, sir."

One sentence is enough for Merlin to know that he doesn't know Phoebe's white cat form.

But because of his transformation through the door, Phoebe should be someone he knows but needs to hide his identity.

Merlin quickly sorted out the relationship, then nodded slightly expressionlessly, and spoke in German English: "It's indeed my first time here, and I didn't expect the street environment in England to be so bad."

The young man was stunned by his accent.

Draco Malfoy looked suspiciously at the man in front of him. He thought it was an ordinary wizard who strayed into Knockturn Alley, but now it seemed that it was not the case.

The man was tall and tall, with a straight back, thick glasses on the bridge of the nose and a solemn wizard robe with a pedantic air.He has no hair, and his cold and piercing eyes can be seen at a glance.

Malfoy couldn't help but feel a little guilty. His German accent and calmness made him change his previous contempt.

It must be a foreign professor, right?

As soon as the young man's expression changed, Merlin knew that the child was not threatening at all.

At this time, the white cat jumped onto the shelf next to Merlin. He glanced at the white cat, and it barked at him.

"I apologize on behalf of Phoebe," Merlin said, looking away.

"It's okay." Malfoy managed to maintain a cold expression, "I don't think Miss Phoebe did it on purpose. I didn't expect to meet a German wizard here."

Merlin nodded, deliberately not speaking.

Malfoy: "Are you looking for items, sir?"

Merlin: "Yes."

"Looking for what?"

"a book."

"Book?"

Malfoy froze for a moment.

Merlin felt that this child was really easy to understand, and he directly wrote "Why did you come here to look for books" on his face.

But Phoebe said she was here to buy books, so she probably couldn't go wrong.Merlin glanced at the white cat again, its gray eyes stared at him motionlessly, with a curious look on its face.

"A book about runes," Merlin said nonchalantly, raising his hand, "it is said that it was exiled in England."

Then his broad palm landed on top of the white cat's head.

White Cat: "…………………"

Merlin looked at Malfoy's expression while stroking the white cat's head and back, looking natural and arrogant.

During this period, the white cat did not move at all.God, Merlin's sense of accomplishment is about to explode.If it hadn't been necessary to maintain the image of "mysterious wizard's pet", the white cat would have slapped it with one paw by now.

"Since it's a friend from Germany," Malfoy nodded, and he knocked on the countertop, "Mr. Bokin, you should come out and entertain the guests."

After Malfoy's call, a hunchbacked man came out from behind the counter.He glanced at Merlin and showed a greasy smile: "What do you need, sir?"

Malfoy: "The gentleman needs books on runes."

Borgin: "That should go to the bookstore instead of—"

Merlin: "—I don't want to hear such nonsense."

Mr. Bojin was not angry when he was interrupted. Instead, he became more submissive: "What a coincidence, I happen to have a few books here that you may need."

Mr. Borgin produced two rather quaint-looking books from behind the counter.

Merlin recognized the book that Phoebe moved to the Kings|man headquarters at a glance. He picked up the book, threw the money bag on the table, and didn't even ask the price: "Get it yourself, Mr. Bokin."

Mr. Boggin smiled even brighter at this generous customer.

"What about you, Master Malfoy?" He took the money with a smile and looked at Malfoy.

Malfoy still looked down on people: "You know what I'm here for."

Bo Jin: "Then you come with me."

Mr. Borgin stepped out of the counter and led Malfoy into the depths of the shop.

One day, Merlin watched the thin back of "Master Malfoy" leave, and suddenly felt a strong sense of guilt: he was actually doing something to deceive children.

Thinking of this, he turned to look at Phoebe by the shelf: "Who is he?"

White cat: "Meow."

Merlin: "What?"

It stretched out its paws and rubbed its head. Merlin checked the top of the white cat's head in confusion, but didn't see anything strange.He had to reach out his hand: "What's the matter, Phoebe?"

Just before Merlin's palm touched the top of the white cat's head again, it suddenly showed its claws.

It was too late when the white cat realized what the white cat wanted to do, and its two cat paws grabbed Merlin's hand firmly.As if that wasn't enough, the white cat even grabbed his palm and bit it hard.

Merlin: "..."

As for holding grudges like this, Merlin gasped in pain, he just patted the white cat's head!

The author has something to say: Phoebe may be angry for three chapters (.

Regarding Merlin wearing a wizard robe, please refer to the third prince played by Mr. Ma Qiang in "The Stars", although he has hair in it.

The description of Merlin wearing a wizard robe in this chapter reminds me of the ex-boyfriend who dumped me and cut off one of my hands to destroy the world in a certain game. I was deceived by his contemptuous bald-headed pedantic image back then. , QAQ.
