How wizards learn science and technology

The apartment was temporarily unavailable, so Merlin moved to the headquarters.

late at night.

Merlin turned off the shower and wiped the water from his face.He felt much more relaxed after the bath: the Aurors were on the lookout for Merlin's attack, and so was the Kings|man.And he is the one who sits in the rear.

Ordinary people and wizards never cross each other, not to mention that even Miss Poppy didn't blow up Merlin's residence, so why did the wizard target a support staff?

During this period, Phoebe Lovegood and Merlin exchanged some information, but there were not many clues on both sides. Until today at noon, Phoebe suddenly sent an email saying that "Aurors had to use their trump card."

Merlin wiped his body clean, and picked up his clothes while thinking, hoping that the so-called "killer trumpet" of wizards can do something——

"—those two wizards told the truth."

"My Christ Jesus!"

Phoebe Lovegood's voice and a strange noise appeared in the bathroom at the same time. Merlin was so frightened that his hands shook, and the clothes fell back to their original positions.

He hurriedly grabbed the towel to block the key parts, and when Merlin turned around, it turned out to be Phoebe.

"you--"

In the steamy bathroom, Merlin looked at her gray eyes and almost wanted to throw the girl with sparkling eyes out: "Can't you use magic to transform yourself out of the door?"

Phoebe didn't seem to understand why Merlin suddenly became angry: "Why?"

Merlin was speechless, what's the use of this!

He looked at the towel on his body and her boots in the water: "I'm taking a shower, Phoebe!"

Phoebe seemed even more confused.

"When you were at home, you often walked around in your underwear," she said, "You didn't mean to shy away from me."

Merlin: "..."

Phoebe: "Your magazines have a lot of young people in underwear, too."

Merlin: "..."

Phoebe: "And you grabbed my neck and insisted on checking my gender. I thought Muggles were so open and honest."

Merlin: "Oh my God."

He now wants to hang himself in the bathroom with the towel around his waist.

Oh, no need at all, because he might be so embarrassing to death: "That's because I thought you were just an ordinary cat!"

Phoebe's eyes widened in shock.

"So, that's how it is," she finally felt embarrassed, her pretty face flushed, "Yes, I'm sorry! What should I do?"

Merlin: "You go out first."

After such a disturbance, let alone the fatigue of the day, Merlin didn't even have the sleepiness accumulated all day.

He quickly put on his clothes and left the bathroom.Phoebe Lovegood sat on his couch, nose and cheeks still red.

Looking at each other, Phoebe moved her body in embarrassment: "I'm really sorry, Merlin, I took it for granted."

Merlin was very tired.

He didn't want to face this question, but just waved his hand: "You said those two wizards told the truth, how did you do it?"

The best way to avoid embarrassment is to get straight to the point.Sure enough, hearing him mention the business, Phoebe swept away the embarrassment just now and entered the professional mode: "We used Veritaserum."

"what?"

"Uh, it's a potion that can make people tell the truth."

It's for wizards again, and Merlin really wanted to ask, what kind of potion can make people spit out the truth.Is that the same ingredient as the "Veritaserum" popular among secret agents?

But now is not the time to ask.

"What did they say?" Merlin continued to ask.

"The two wizards said they attacked you because you knew how to make poison," Phoebe replied.

Merlin:?

"Poison|drug, what poison|drug?" Merlin was a little confused, he could make too many poison|drugs.

Phoebe looked equally puzzled: "What Miss Poppy's poison|drug."

Merlin: "Oh."

It seems that it is still a problem left over from the previous mission, the lingering Miss Bobby.

No wonder when he analyzed the poison | medicine sample, he felt that the raw materials were weird. Now that he thought about it, he might have a wizard's formula in it.Merlin thought for a while: "How is your pharmacy?"

Phoebe: "You're talking about Potions, right? I graduated with full marks."

Merlin: "That's great."

He picked up the glasses next to the desk and put them on, then turned on the computer, and called up the poison|drug samples analyzed at that time: "Is there a formula you are familiar with?"

Phoebe walked over to Merlin and quickly went through the content.

"here."

She stretched out her finger and pointed to a series of words, which was exactly what Merlin was puzzled at that time: "Added snake fangs, scurvy and salamander blood... Merlin, this is lethal and hallucinogenic! Where did you get it?" This recipe?"

"I knew it." Merlin cursed Miss Bobby ten thousand times in his heart.

"Not only did I get the recipe," says Merlin, "I even enhanced it."

No wonder Merlin couldn't find a solution to the poison, the reason was that he couldn't understand the part involving "Potion Science".From this point of view, Miss Poppy's drugs can be described as the joint result of chemistry and potion science, ordinary people and wizards.It is not without reason that she can monopolize the global drug trade.

Then, it is not surprising that someone wants this recipe.

"They came for the formula," Phoebe said.

"of course."

With a cold face, Merlin entered Kings|man's database and completely deleted the documents related to the poison|drug formula without leaving any traces.

Anyway, it was he who strengthened it, and the formula had already been imprinted in Merlin's mind.

Obviously Phoebe also realized the seriousness of the matter: "I have to report this to Auror, can I borrow your tablet for a while?"

Merlin raised his eyebrows: "Send an email to your colleague?"

Phoebe: "As you said, I also have Muggle-born colleagues."

Phoebe, who switched to work mode, moved neatly and spoke clearly, sweeping away the confusion and naturalness just now.After getting Merlin's approval, she sent an email from her tablet and asked, "What should I do next?"

"I need to filter Kings|man's firewall and security system first." Merlin said, "They know my address, so we can only start from this aspect."

Phoebe: "Maybe like me, I followed you home from Kings|man's headquarters."

Merlin: "..."

He also kept wondering how Phoebe could find his apartment with such precision, the answer was so simple.Also, if she turned into a white cat and followed Merlin, it would be difficult for him to notice.

"Then they also need to know the address of the headquarters," Merlin insisted, "especially since our headquarters has just been rebuilt."

This is true.

Phoebe didn't deny it: "Need help?"

Merlin: "There is no technical work, but screening data will be very cumbersome. You can go back first, and I will notify the Auror headquarters if I have any clues."

Phoebe: "How long?"

Merlin: "About three hours."

"Then I'll wait for you." Phoebe said seriously.

Anyway, it was just mechanical work, and most of it was handed over to the computer. All Merlin did was wait.

So he nods. "You can use my tablet to check Twitter or watch a few episodes of Friends."

Phoebe: "Friends? Forget it, I'll Google it myself."

She sat down in the corner of the sofa again.At first she was sitting upright, but within 10 minutes, she couldn't help but lie down.

"Merlin?" Phoebe said suddenly after a moment, "Can I ask you a question?"

Merlin raised his eyes from the monitor: "You ask."

"Why are you wearing metal around your legs?"

"..."

Recalling the scene in the bathroom where he was basically watched, Merlin felt that his embarrassing cancer had flared up again.

But he answered Phoebe anyway: "That's metal."

Phoebe:?

Glancing at the witch's blank expression, Merlin continued to explain: "I stepped on a landmine during the mission to hunt down Miss Bobby."

Phoebe:!

It seems she knows what a land mine is.

Phoebe's expression suddenly became serious: "I...I'm sorry. But you walk very well."

Merlin: "Thanks to contemporary science and technology."

After all, Charlie can smash Eggsy into a wall with a mechanical prosthetic, and he has a pair of mechanical legs, which, aside from sounding very cyberpunk, don't seem like a big deal.

"Can science and technology make metal replace your legs?" Phoebe asked in shock. "Merlin, this is amazing!"

Merlin:? ? ?

It's not the mechanical prosthetic limb he invented, and what to do by his name every now and then.

But Merlin was still a little proud: "It seems that your magic can't do this. Have you Googled what "Friends" is?"

Phoebe shook the tablet in her hand when she heard the words, and the first episode of "Friends" was playing on the screen.

Merlin laughed out loud: "Look, it can help you understand the daily life of Muggles."

As he spoke, he continued to process the data.

After a long time, when Merlin felt that it was time to finish, he breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay, I almost have a clue."

But it wasn't Phoebe that answered him, it was the silence of the room.

Merlin looked at her in surprise, and found that Phoebe had fallen asleep at some point.

It seemed to be still in the form of a white cat, as if it was still lying on the sofa next to Merlin's bookshelf.Phoebe hugged Merlin's tablet, curled up into a ball, closed her eyes tightly, and fell into a deep sleep.

Merlin shook his head helplessly.

He stood up and walked over to Phoebe.Tried to shake her awake, but just as his fingertips touched Phoebe's shoulder, his tablet lit up.

It was an email sent to Phoebe's mailbox.

She forgot to log out of the account again, it seems that knowing how to modify the computer does not mean that she has the awareness of account security.Merlin picked up the tablet, and before logging out of her account, she accidentally saw the content of the email.

[I see, tell our friends to be careful.Go get some rest, Phoebe, you haven't closed your eyes for two days.

— Porter. ]

two full days.

Merlin's eyes paused on the word for a while, then looked at the sleeping Phoebe, and immediately gave up the plan to wake her up.

He thought about it, finally sighed, and put the tablet aside.He bent down and lifted Phoebe Lovegood across the sofa, carefully but with relative ease.

Merlin put her on his bed.

Compared to Phoebe, at least Merlin had rested.His data still needs some time to continue to sort out, and it will be dawn in a while, so it's okay to make do with the sofa for a night.

With such a plan, Merlin still didn't forget to cover Phoebe with a quilt, and then lightly sat back at the desk.

The author has something to say: No one will suffer if you look at each other!

The ending that was deleted by Wang Nan 2 is used here. Merlin is still alive but has a broken leg.

Thank you Mengmeng for the overlord ticket, thank you w
