How wizards learn science and technology

With Phoebe acting coquettishly and shamelessly, Merlin still brought the report of the controlled experiment back to the laboratory.

While he was working on the recipe, Phoebe had little to do.Cypher will help with potions, occasionally calling Phoebe over to discuss and discuss, but most of the time she sits and flips through the basics printed out from the biology laboratory, and takes her lunch to feed the back of the laboratory. s cat.

Merlin looked out of the lab window, and Phoebe was standing in the clearing behind the building.

There is snow all over the sky, she is wearing a thick coat, the hood covers her hair, and the extra cat ears and cat tails cannot be seen.The girl held a small bowl in her hand, and Phoebe called out, and several cats ran over from the snow and the building.

The town where the laboratory is located has a small population, and the war caused most people to flee their hometowns. Later, Duhovic moved some identity-sensitive research here.

These should be wild cats who have lost their homes. They are not very close to each other. Occasionally someone feeds them something, but they only run out quickly after they are safe and take the food away.

But they trust Phoebe.

She shared the bacon with the cats, and whispered something while stroking the stray cat's head.This is also strange, Merlin thought, because Phoebe now has the same ears and tail as cats, they will not recognize her as the same kind.

When he walked out of the laboratory and walked towards Phoebe, the wild cats immediately became vigilant and turned around and ran away.

The cihuamao, who was buried in the bowl, was one step late, tensed all over, and was about to run away with the majority, Phoebe hugged it: "It doesn't matter, Merlin won't hurt you!"

Lihuamao couldn't stop struggling: "Meow!!!"

Phoebe: "Okay, okay."

She stretched out her hand to smooth the fur of the tabby cat, and the cat, which was trying to jump out of Phoebe's arms, was quickly subdued.

Although the cat lying in his arms still looked at Merlin warily when he came over, at least it didn't run away.

"New friend?" Merlin asked.

"Well," Phoebe laughed, "this is Miss Nasha, a one-year-old cat sister."

"...So, you can understand what they are saying."

Phoebe blinked, "Of course."

Also, how else would she rule over the stray cats near Merlin's apartment.At that time, all the cats ran faster when they saw the white cat than when they saw the monster.

Although Merlin had already guessed this point, but Phoebe admitted it himself, he couldn't help being a little curious.

"Then how do you communicate with them now," Merlin asked, "you can't meow now."

"Cats meow to communicate with humans," Phoebe explained seriously. "Because people can hear fewer sounds than cats, they can only open their mouths. Cats don't communicate with each other through meowing."

Cihuamao: "Meow."

Merlin didn't know whether to laugh or cry, as if it could really understand what Phoebe was saying.

"Then you can't hear what they can hear now," he said.

Phoebe sighed.

It seems that she has been troubled by this for a long time. The girl rested her chin on the top of the cihuamao's head, showing aggrieved expressions at the same time.

Seeing that Merlin was not the enemy, the three or two stray cats that had run away before also returned to Phoebe's side one after another, rubbing against her trouser legs.

"It's quite troublesome," she said, looking at her new friends. "If I can change shape, I should be able to get a lot of clues. No matter how deep Duhovic hides his evil deeds, he can't drive out all the animals. gone."

No wonder Duhovic's wizard put a collar on Phoebe.

"It's ok."

Merlin shook his head: "There are always other ways."

Li Huamao: "Meow."

It seemed to sense Phoebe's frustration, and the vigilant Miss Cat leaned over Phoebe's shoulder and rubbed her cheek.

The beard was itchy against the skin, but Phoebe still laughed: "Thank you, I will find you if I need anything."

The raccoon cat purred a few times.

Phoebe: "Yes, Merlin is my boyfriend."

Merlin: "..."

He couldn't bear to look directly at him, and Phoebe raised his eyebrows when he saw Merlin's expression: "Cats are very smart, and they don't obey commands not because they don't understand, but because they think humans are stupid."

Well, anyway, Merlin has already seen a goblin standing at the counter and a flying measuring tape in Diagon Alley. A small animal who can understand human words will never be more mysterious than the world of wizards she lives in.

If cats have personalities, then the raccoon cat named Miss Nasha is obviously a little girl who is curious about everything.

Merlin had no malice, and it no longer avoided him. The raccoon cat turned its golden pupils around, and softly called to Merlin: "Meow."

Phoebe: "It's saying hello to you."

Merlin: "... hello."

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and touched the top of Miss Nasha's head. The young raccoon cat meowed comfortably.

Then Phoebe introduced the other cats around her to Merlin. The three-colored cats, Laura and Claire, are a pair of elderly sisters. The black cat, Ivan, is the leader of the neighborhood. You can tell just by looking at them.He didn't walk very close to Phoebe like other wild cats, but squatted five steps away from him, with a haughty expression, even with Phoebe's guarantee, he looked at Merlin with guarded eyes.

Apparently Phoebe likes Miss Nasha the tabby cat the most.

"Ivan said that this town was quite lively," Phoebe said, "but five years ago a group of mercenaries came and drove everyone away. Then they brought some more people, and they were still on the other side of the snow field. Construction started in the forest, I don't know what was built, I think you can investigate."

Merlin remained silent, Duhovic's dictatorship had just begun five years ago.

This clue may be useful. It seems that these wild cats have become... er, animals to witness history.

It's just that Merlin raised his head and glanced at the endless white. Just standing outside for a while, Phoebe's little face was already red from the cold. If he went so rashly, he might freeze to death in the snow field without Duhovic discovering. inside.

And Phoebe's collar has a positioning function, so he can't leave her where she is.

"Leave this to Cypher," Merlin thought for a while, "see what she can do."

Cihuamao: "Meow."

Phoebe: "I don't like Cypher either."

Cihuamao: "Meow."

Phoebe: "......"

Not knowing what Lihuamao said to her, Phoebe's face suddenly changed.

She frowned, and a look of disapproval appeared on her delicate face.Merlin was at a loss: "What's wrong?"

"……fine."

Is this puffy look all right?Merlin laughed out loud, and just as he was about to ask further, the door of the laboratory was pushed open by Cypher.

Cypher: "The data is out."

I just planned to talk to her about the clues provided by the animals.

Merlin stepped forward: "How is the situation?"

Cypher: "See for yourself."

Then he briefly conveyed what Phoebe asked to Cypher, who raised his eyebrows in surprise: "It turns out that Animagus can understand the language of animals."

"So you don't know either." Merlin said.

"I'm not an Animagus."

She spoke of course.

"I'll pay attention to this matter. I'll take a look at it sometime. Can your little girlfriend give me a rough orientation?"

None of them are locals, and they don't know how big the "forest" the wild cats are talking about.

Merlin: "I'll ask her."

Cypher: "As soon as possible."

Then she walked into the laboratory without looking back, unwilling to stay in this cold weather for a longer time.

And Phoebe, taking advantage of Merlin's conversation with Cypher, raised the civet cat, Miss Nasha, angrily, and the eyes of each cat and cat were parallel: "Don't play Merlin's idea!"

Cihuamao: "Meow!"

Phoebe: "No, I can't borrow it, I can only have one cat at home! If you do this again, I will break up with you. I'm not kidding, Merlin is mine!"

Merlin: "..."

He cleared his throat behind Phoebe's back and she startled and put Miss Nassar down.

The cihuamao meowed very aggrieved.

"What's wrong?" Merlin asked knowingly.

"No, nothing!"

Phoebe's face was flushed, and she bit her lip, trying to look indifferent.

The more this happened, the more Merlin wanted to laugh.This isn't the first time Phoebe has been jealous of stray and feral cats.

And he didn't know that he had such a relationship with cats.

"Cypher hopes that your friends," Merlin said, taking a look at the wild cats surrounding Phoebe, "can give her an approximate location of the buildings in the forest."

Phoebe nodded.

She ran to the black cat Ivan and whispered something to him.

The proud black cat whined, with a deep and deep voice.

Looking at his size and thick paws, Merlin thinks he looks like a hybrid between a house cat and other feline wild animals. As for the hybrid, it's really hard to say, after all, Merlin has just seen and heard about Hogwarts. There is a course called Fantastic Creatures.

After a while, Phoebe turned to look at Merlin: "Ivan said yes."

So that night, when Cypher opened the apartments, what he saw was Merlin, Phoebe, and a group of wild cats around Phoebe.

Cypher: "..."

Speechlessly, she watched the black cat Ivan jump onto the table, examined the printed map, and then looked at Phoebe: "Meow."

Phoebe: "It says it doesn't understand."

Merlin: "..."

Fortunately, Phoebe can act as more than a translator. She leaned in front of Ivan and pointed to the map: "We are here now. Yes, there is a snowfield behind, which is the direction where you are sitting on the ground today. According to this direction, here is Did you mean the forest?"

The black cat looked at it for a moment, and then the cat's paw landed in the northeast direction of the forest.

Phoebe looked up: "Ivan said, this is the area."

Cypher quickly marked the location on his phone.

She thought for a moment: "I'll go explore the road after the curfew."

Black cat: "Aww."

Phoebe: "It says it can take you there."

Cypher looked at Phoebe in surprise.

Probably did not expect this kind of treatment, after all, Phoebe really hates her.But Cypher didn't struggle too much: "That's the best. Merlin, you Disney princess are really helpful."

Phoebe:? ?

This isn't the first time she's been called a Disney princess.

Merlin couldn't help but shook his head.One-click dress-up plus communication with small animals, it really fits the setting of Disney princesses.

The emergency plan is planned quickly and carried out quickly.

Ivan the black cat stayed behind as a helper, and Phoebe took the other female cats out of Cypher's apartment, not forgetting to give them the bacon and ham they brought from the laboratory: "Let's go, let the soldiers see would be suspicious."

Cihuamao: "Meow."

Phoebe: "Okay, I forgive you!"

The kitten whimpered and rubbed the top of her head against Phoebe's wrist.

The girl touched the top of her head affectionately, then Miss Nasha turned her head three times at a step, and disappeared into the town under the urging of her companions.

Before Phoebe could react, a pair of big hands passed under her ribs and hugged her into her arms.

"What's the matter?" Phoebe looked up at Merlin.

"I promise you," Merlin suppressed a smile, and kissed Phoebe's hair, "there will only be one cat in the house, and that is you."

The author has something to say: Phoebe's cat ears grow on both sides, with white pointed ears protruding from the hair on the sides of the cheeks, not the top of the head!I've been wondering if cat-eared girls' ears are long on the top of their heads, does that mean they have four ears... _(:з」∠)_...

Animagus can understand the language of animals, which is my own second hypothesis, and it seems that it has never been mentioned in the original book.But I think it should be possible...and don't worry about why the country cats in Belarus can understand English, people can become cats, what's wrong with being able to understand English [forced to be confident
