All things are three at Hogwarts

It's time for wizards and militia to say goodbye. Leocliffe and the others will go to the battlefield, and Alan will also leave with Merlin. They need to return to Crowhurst Village, where Alan was in the collapsed village. The work in the blacksmith shop is not yet finished.

Crowhurst Village once again appeared in front of the wizard mentor and his new apprentice. Merlin's mood had calmed down a lot, and he automatically entered the apprenticeship career that was not yet very skilled. This made Alan quite appreciate it. Slytherin students at least On the road to gaining strength and achieving one's own goals, one's attitude is quite correct.

Instead of entering the village directly, Allen took Merlin to a thick oak tree in the village. It was the same tree that Odgar wanted to climb when he missed his hometown.

Allen looked at it for a while, then grabbed a branch on the tree in the air, and the branch broke by itself and flew into Allen's hand. Merlin looked at this scene with surprise in his eyes. This was magic. He didn't know how long it would take him to master such a spell. The branch turned into a tape measure in Allen's hand, flew to Merlin's side, stretched and rolled around Merlin, and automatically measured various data on his body.

After obtaining the data, Allen began to process the oak branch that had been restored to its original shape smoothly, explaining the key points while making it. After roughly completing the processing, Allen said to Merlin who was full of yearning: "This is what the wizard uses. The tools needed to perform magic are generally long wooden strips. We still need an inner core made from part of the body of a magical animal, and the wand material also needs time to be further processed. Every wand is unique. If If you are using a wand that does not belong to you, the effect of magic will be greatly reduced. So how to use the wand and how to maximize the effect of the wand depends on the wizard's own ability. Although after studying and practicing hard, you can do it to a certain extent. This eliminates the need to rely on a wand when casting spells. Ancient wizards did not use this tool when they first cast spells."

Alan did not make a growing wand for his apprentice but used a more traditional method because he could not guarantee that Merlin would be able to keep such a magical object at Hogwarts without attracting prying eyes after he left. , he did not tell his new disciple that the reason why he was able to cast spells without a wand so easily and freely was because he had read the Nether Scroll and changed the way of casting spells. However, since he was Merlin's mentor, Alan felt that he should be more responsible and taught him. The apprentice should not rely too much on the wand, just like Luna reminded him after the Kraken incident.

After doing this, Allen led Merlin across the messy ground of the blacksmith shop. Among the rubble, Allen directed various blacksmith tools to fly out of the outdoors, and the finished and semi-finished iron tools also followed. Neatly stacked aside.

Flames burst out from under the furnace, making Merlin jump back in fright. Then he watched as if he was possessed by a spell as the iron items flew into the furnace one by one, and then flew out one by one. The huge hammer flew clumsily. Come over, just like those kitchen utensils that can wash dishes automatically or the knitting needles that can knit sweaters by themselves, they jingle, jingle, and jingle on these iron tools.

Then, under the control of magic, these accessories were combined together, turning into a majestic piece of heavy iron armor in front of Merlin.

The wizard apprentice couldn't help but be curious and tried to move a piece of armor that had cooled down. He found that he couldn't move it even though he was just a child, even though he was just a child. It was really hard for him to imagine who this armor was for. It was so heavy and how he could move dexterously in battle while wearing it. Because of his demonic bloodline, Merlin had always been relatively confident in his own strength.

"Merlin, is there a cobbler in your village?" Alan's voice sounded next to Merlin.

"Yes!" Merlin felt very happy to be able to do something for Allen. He pointed to the path in the village, "Go straight along the creek and turn right at the fork. The cobbler lives there. His The smell was a bit strong, and people in the village did not allow him to build a house in the village or upstream of the creek. Sometimes I would sneak over and watch him skin the animals, which was fun."

"Well... there are too few entertainment options for children in this era." After thinking wildly for a while, Allen snapped his fingers behind him.

The sound of footsteps sounded like an earthquake. When he saw the incoming person, Merlin was like a frightened rabbit, "Mentor, the Vikings are coming."

"Don't panic, these are subordinates under my control." Allen comforted his apprentices, and after the death knights saluted neatly to Allen, they ran in the direction Merlin pointed before, and Allen said to his apprentices Eyesight was a little curious, "Why, have you seen Vikings?"

"Mentor, I haven't seen it before." Merlin still looked at the death knights with some fear, "But I asked Leocliffe before what is the difference between us Englishmen and Vikings, and he told me that we Englishmen They are human beings, but those Vikings are not...and these men of yours, mentor..."

"Although there is a certain discrepancy between Leo Cliff's meaning and your understanding, your insight is indeed good." Allen couldn't help but praise the apprentice's talent. "You have a good sense of these Vikings." Humans are no longer living creatures. This is the first thing I will formally teach you on the path of magic. Merlin, maybe you will meet some white wizards who reject black magic in the future, but I hope you can use your own Judgmentally looking at the problem, my magic path does not exclude any kind of magic. I think that when researching magic, you should not care about any restrictions, but you should not be overly obsessed with one type or all things because of your talents in certain aspects. Returning to the circle, if you lack the knowledge in one direction, then I think your magic path is no longer complete. Many people think that the path of specialization is better, but their end point is determined by themselves at the very beginning of their choice. The choice is limited, so I hope that you can also take the path of generalism. You also have the talents needed to choose this path. Of course, you need to choose the path of magic by yourself. You may not understand it now, but I hope you can recall this passage when you have learned enough knowledge..."

While Merlin was contemplating, those death knights came back with some smelly leather in their hands. Leatherworking in this era was not a good job, because in order to quickly remove the fat from the hide and preserve it to prevent it from falling off. , which in this era was done by soaking it in urine. In view of the stench associated with their work, tanners settled on the outskirts of towns and villages, belonging to the same class as executioners, butchers and prostitutes, and were marginalized people in society.

Allen asked the death knights to throw the leather into a large cauldron they brought back from the tanner's house, and then threw some magic herbs in and boiled them together. Finally, the leather was still wet and smelled of the medicine after being taken out. The previously armored Uchimura was embedded in it.

When everything was finished, Allen ordered these death knights to put on these armors, and their appearance took on a completely new look. In Merlin's eyes, these death knights were extremely tall and strong, with broad shoulders and arms as thick as the small trunks of the oak tree just now. Under the armor, they also wore unseemly thick armor that the instructor called plate armor. There is also a layer of boiled leather inside the armor. They wear full-face helmets with some remnants of Viking style. There are no gaps except for a narrow iron fence-like hole next to the eyes for observation.

Merlin looked enviously at the shields and axes held by these death knights who had put on new armor. Although he was young, he saw the cruelty of war and wanted to have his own weapons, even if he was about to fight. With a magical wand. After all, it is the nature of these little boys to yearn for knights.

Allen saw the undisguised envy on Merlin's face, and directed some iron tools to fly into the furnace. The big ax started clanking again. Allen stretched out his hand to direct and gesture, and the iron tools hissed. The sound of being carved. Under the fierce friction and collision, fire splashed everywhere, and a dagger gradually took shape. Allen carved magic runes on the dagger that could destroy magic shields and have sharp special effects.

After the formed dagger was cold-quenched and polished, Allen handed the dagger with cold light to Merlin: "Let this be a meeting gift from your mentor."

Merlin took the dagger with a look of joy and played with it curiously, examining the mysterious symbols with a different kind of beauty on it.
