Chapter 70: Christmas

December is here, and Christmas is just around the corner – for most of the students. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info And for Merlin, this means that the plot is almost here again.

"Is it the Mirror of Eris this time......" Merlin still nestled up in his iconic chair, lazily copying down his magic thoughts, "Anyway, can that Mirror of Eris test what I really desire?" ”

Ling Feng sat on Merlin's shoulder and looked at Merlin's notes: "The configuration of your place is not concise enough...... What the? What did you just say? ”

"Will the Mirror of Eris be able to test what I desire?" Merlin gritted his teeth and repeated.

Ling Feng was silent for a moment and said, "I think it should be possible, but it may not be great...... Essentially, you're not a character of this world...... But maybe it's possible. ”

In order to participate in the current plot (and mainly to see what his heart desires), Merlin has previously sent a letter to his parents stating that he intends to spend this Christmas in Hogwarts.

Both Sarah's mom and Gray's dad said they could and that they wanted to rest well with their friends......

Merlin gives Sarah's mother a pocket watch made from half-baked alchemy (which glows at night and runs automatically to absorb the magic of the environment) and a triggered magic item for his father (an arcane shield engraved on a pendant that automatically activates when a deadly threat is received).

As for Harry, Ron, and Hermione...... They felt guilty when they realized that they had forgotten Merlin, and they all ran over to him and greeted her...... By the way, complain to Merlin about a guy named Nick Lemay that Hagrid once mentioned.

Mai Lin couldn't help but sigh: "Sure enough, it's still a child...... I can't hide things at all. ”

Ling Feng glanced at him: "Aren't you the same?" Ten. One. years of children. ”

Merlin, Pawn, cause of death: Arrow in the knee.

Although Merlin knew what kind of character Nick Lemay was, he didn't intend to ruin the plot, so in the face of the expectant eyes of the three people, Merlin could only say "shyly": "I...... I don't know. ”

So Harry and the three were immediately disappointed, but fortunately, the child just didn't remember anything, so they made up their minds to go to the library to find out who this Nick was.

So two weeks later, Christmas came - and unfortunately, they still didn't find any information about Nick Lemay. Harry had always had a strange sense of immediacy, though, as if he had seen the name.

――――――――I'm the dividing line――――――――

Merlin studied magic until midnight, and now he was the only one sitting in the common room. He casually took out a few gift boxes and wrapping paper from his storage space and set them aside for the time being.

After that, Merlin carved a simple alchemy magic circle (refining array) on the table and put a few pieces of iron into it.

“…… Forged! ”

The light lasted for about twenty seconds, and then slowly disappeared, and the place where the few pieces of iron had been sitting had now turned into five sword-shaped pendants. The pendant bears the names of Harry, Ron, and Hermione, as well as his parents: Sarah's mom and Gray's papa.

Merlin smiled, touched the sweat on his head, and put the five pendants into the box, wrapped the box in wrapping paper, and used the mage's hand on it (...... I tied a bow, and I called it a magic trick......

Ling Feng: "Actually, you're just too lazy to do it." ”

Merlin wrote a few more notes and words of blessing on it, and then closed his eyes and meditated—the magical creatures of Hogwarts would help bring these gifts to each other.

The next day, when Merlin finished meditating, he saw a few more packages around him. Harry gave himself a greeting card; Ron's mom not only gave Merlin a pale blue sweater, but also a large box of lactose; Hermione used the Owl Express to order a copy of the Practical Spells for Merlin.

Then came a huge gift box, a gift from Sarah's mother and Gray's father to their children—at least twenty-eight books, each of which was of interest to Merlin. Looking at these things, Merlin felt a warm current in his heart.

Harry thanked Merlin for the gift he had given him, and felt guilty for not giving him a decent gift—but that guilt was quickly washed away by another gift.

"It's ...... Cloak of invisibility. ”

Merlin touched the object in his hand and exclaimed, "This is a masterpiece!" Even a half-alchemist like me can tell how much technology is used in this invisibility cloak...... Harry, that's amazing! ”

[Cloak of Invisibility (5A): A magic item that makes the user invisible and isolates magic detection below level 6B. 】

Yes, it's not good - level 5 prop protection level 6 detection, although some magic items can send out attacks beyond one level, but shielding at the next level is very rare.

After that, the four of them walked towards the restaurant in groups and began to enjoy a wonderful Christmas lunch.

A wide variety of food specialties: chubby turkey, dazzling puddings of all kinds, and a variety of snacks and goodies on the table. There are also hand-pulled artillery battles (...... In short, the power is definitely not great, but the sound is definitely more than two kicks.

After lunch, Merlin followed Harry and the others for an afternoon of crazy fun outside Hogwarts Castle - a combination of work and rest, and spent almost a quarter of a year studying magic, almost like the old mage who was bent on learning more about magic......

"So you're still too young." Ling Feng shook his fingers and said quite proudly, "The old lady once went into the laboratory for more than a month before she came out!" ”

Merlin was silent for half a second, and then asked, "When did you start calling yourself an old lady?" ”

"......" Ling Feng ran away in tears.

Merlin pinched his bangs and squinted his eyes in thought: soul change. Does sex really affect a person's various behaviors?

Two. Forced or not. Forced (to.be.or.not.to.be), this is a problem.

In short, on this Christmas night, Merlin was thinking about such a serious (?) The process of the problem passed.

Early the next morning, Merlin was frightened by Harry's eloquent talk.

"I met my mom and dad." Harry said very seriously, his eyes glinting with excitement, "There are others, my relatives. ”

"That's a good thing." Merlin smiled, "Then don't you mind letting us go over and have a look, right?" ”
