24. Welcome Ceremony【56/100】
"Is the journey still going smoothly? Sir."
In the airport parking lot, Colson, wearing uniforms and sunglasses, helped the children put the greetings in the trunk, while saying to Merlin beside him:
"I'm curious why you asked me to drive a nanny car and it turns out that there are so many children. Are these your friends? Sir."
"That's right."
Merlin placed two cages containing owls on the trunk box, and then picked up the ugly cat Crook Hill, who kept rubbing against his trouser legs. While helping it to smooth out its hair, he said to Colson:
“How is your recent work with Melinda?”
"It's okay, it's almost the same as before."
Colson handed the car keys to Merlin, and he lowered his voice and said:
"In recent days, some vampires in the upper town are very active. Melinda and I are investigating this. Director Fury sent Constantine to assist us. But that guy, alas, can't be said."
"What's wrong with him?"
Merlin asked, and Colson said with a weird look:
"He ran to scout and brought back two unscrupulous female vampires and were fooling around in our safe room. Melinda and I had to change into a safe room again."
"Damn!"
Merlin also cursed and said to Colson:
"You guys stick with it for a few more days, and in a week, I will deal with this."
"Um."
Colson nodded, and he turned toward his car, and he waved to Merlin:
"Then, the rest of the holidays are pleasant, sir, I'll leave first."
"Say hello to Melinda for me, and, let's go ahead!"
Merlin threw a small pocket to Colson, who opened it and found that there were two sunglasses inside.
He looked at Merlin in confusion, but the latter had already started the blue nanny car and drove out of the parking lot amid the laughter of a group of children.
Colson sat in Lolari, his beloved car. He took out the sunglasses from the bag and looked over and over again, but found that there was a small trademark on his sunglasses.
“Fox Magic Supplies Store is dedicated to serving you.”
"Note. For any serious consequences caused by any magical items sold by this store, we reserve the right of final interpretation."
It's just a small trademark, and I can't write so many words at all, but when Colson saw the trademark, these two passages came to his mind.
This made Colson a little confused and curious.
He put his sunglasses on his eyes, feeling that they were no different from the ones he had, but just as Colson turned around, he saw a headless ghost sitting on the side seat beside him.
"Bang"
Colson is no longer a rookie. In the past few months, he has personally arrested many supernatural criminals and killed many aliens.
He subconsciously pulled out a pistol filled with sacred silver bullets and pointed it at the headless ghost behind him. He shouted loudly:
"Stay away from Lora, you monster!"
The headless ghost seemed to feel the threat of the St. Silver Bullet in the pistol, and it quickly fled from Agent Colson's car. Colson wore sunglasses and drove all the way out of the parking lot, but the scene reflected in the sunglasses made him feel a little chilled.
Hell, the parking lot is full of wandering ghosts, and a few young shadow demons hiding in the shadows, which makes Colson tense. He suddenly goes too deep into the reality of the world, and almost rushes out of the parking lot on the accelerator. When he comes to the sun, he breathes a sigh of relief.
Phil took off his psychic sunglasses, and he looked at the sunglasses and gasped violently.
"Is this the world in the eyes of the strong?"
"It's so exciting."
—
"Meilin, Meilin, how can you give psychic sunglasses to an ordinary person?"
Hermione, sitting in the passenger seat, looked at Merlin worriedly while driving, and she said:
"They shouldn't see those creatures in the foreign lands, and when they see those things, they can also find them. This is too dangerous for ordinary people."
"Don't worry, girl."
Merlin said to Hermione:
"Colson is my subordinate. He and another agent are responsible for handling the supernatural incidents in New York. They are both excellent agents. They must know these things sooner or later, and it is also good to let them be mentally prepared in advance."
"Wow! Look there! Muggles' sports cars! And girls!"
In the wide back seat of the nanny car, Ron, wearing a wide shirt from the previous era, almost pressed his face against the window, looking at the increasingly bustling streets outside the window.
Next to Merlin's nanny car, a red Ferrari was racing past. There seemed to be several beautiful girls in cool clothes on the car, and Ron's eyes widened.
As a descendant of the pure-blooded wizard family, Ron has not lived in modern society. But the occasional glance and real deep into the Muggle world are different.
"Oh, that looks like a nasty guy."
Merlin glanced at the Ferrari in front of him and found that the license plate was a bit familiar, and it should be Tony Stark, a flower company that carried the girls out for a ride.
Sometimes this world is really too small.
Meilin curled his lips, pulled the steering wheel, and turned into another road.
He didn't want to deal with Tony, the troublemaker. The guy had been trying to learn from him the truth about the night his parents died in 1991, but Ms. Carter specifically emphasized that Merlin would not tell Tony the truth.
The young man was too unstable and had a lot of resources in his hands. Once he knew the truth, he would easily cause some trouble.
"Speaking of this, Ron, won't you introduce this little beauty to me?"
Merlin looked at Ron from the reversing mirror and sat down at the back with Harry, looking out the window, beside them, a little girl Merlin had never seen before.
She also has fiery red hair and blue eyes that are the same as Ron, which is very similar to Mr. Arthur's characteristics, so this girl should be Ron's sister.
Ginny Weasley.
It is said that he is the only girl in the Weasley family in recent generations, and she is regarded as a baby by Mrs. Molly.
"Oh, her name is Ginny."
Ron turned around and took the gum thrown by Merlin. He stuffed the gum into his mouth and said to Merlin:
"She is my sister, and she will be a fourth-grade wizard in Hogwarts this year. In addition, she always likes to play with Harry, and I don't know why."
"Ron!"
The quiet little girl was told through her brother's worries, and her cheeks suddenly screamed with redness.
Harry, who was sitting among them, was also a little embarrassed because of his good friend Ron's unrestrained speech.
Meilin looked at the boys and girls fighting, and his mood also relaxed. While driving towards his house in Hell's Kitchen, he reminded the four little wizards in the car:
"I informed my sister and my adopted son that they will hold a small welcome ceremony for you four. But they are all ordinary people, so you know what to do, right?"
"learn!"
Ron reached out and shook his hand, he said:
"We want to perfectly disguise ourselves as muggles. Before leaving, my parents kept nagging, and my ears were calloused. We also went to Gringot to exchange for some dollars."
As he spoke, he glanced at Harry's new clothes, and a hint of envy flashed in Ron's eyes. He looked at his old clothes and said:
"Maybe before visiting your house, Merlin, I have to find a place to buy a set of clothes. This one was worn by Bill."
Merlin looked at Ron's clothes and shook his head:
"Indeed, this is a popular style 10 years ago. You should change your clothes. Let's take you to the supermarket first, but keep your wands, and it's best not to carry any magic items that will cause trouble. Don't chant spells as soon as possible when encountering anything, and ask me to deal with it, okay?"
"no problem!"
Ron answered with confidence.
The children agreed very well, but 15 minutes later, in the supermarket in Hell's Kitchen, Merlin was still looking at the broken TV wall in front of him with a headache.
Beside him, the quiet little beauty Ginny lowered her head with embarrassment, and she explained:
“It shows something dirty I accidentally said”
"It's okay, it's okay, kid."
Merlin comforted the anxious little beauty, then took out a stack of money from her wallet and handed it to the angry shop owner in front of her. The latter's expression improved a little when he saw the money, but he still complained:
"It's just a model show, your sister's reaction is so intense, like a weirdo."
"Hi, be careful when speaking!"
Merlin stretched out his finger and pointed at the shop owner without hesitation, and he said:
"You know that children will come here, don't show those things! Do you really want to find the police to deal with this? The 'guns' you hide under the counter can't hide it. Do you want me to call and send you to the police station for supper?"
The shop owner immediately became timid. He muttered a few words and was about to turn around and leave. But he was stopped by Merlin:
"etc."
"So what's wrong? Hell, I apologize!"
The owner turned around and glared at Meilin, but saw the other party take out a few more money and put it on the counter. Meilin patted the timid Ginny and said to the owner:
"Get me four mobile phones, and phone cards. By the way, get two more gaming consoles and the latest gaming disks. Do you have any comics sold here?"
Under Merlin's guidance, the children who finally completed the purchase took their things and sat back into the nanny's car.
Ron and Ginny both changed into new clothes. Hermione's parents were originally Muggles, so Hermione did not have the problem of having difficulty communicating with ordinary people.
This little girl lives in London and knows a lot about fashion. Her clothes don't need Merlin to worry too much about her.
In the nanny's car, Merlin handed the purchased cell phone to the children, and he said to the children:
"My phone number has been deposited. Call me if you have anything. Hermione, teach them how to use their phones later, is it okay?"
"No."
Hermione shrugged. After coming to the Muggle World, she was the undisputed leader of the four-person group.
"Okay, let's go home now."
Merlin restarted the nanny car and returned to his home in more than ten minutes.
The children carried their pet cages and Hermione held the sleepy Crook Hill, dragging their luggage and following Merlin into the home.
Just as the Merlin opened them, accompanied by a few sounds of flowers, colorful easter eggs fell from the sky, which really scared the children.
"Welcome to Merlin's house as a guest!"
Cousin Mei spread her hands and shouted to the children exaggeratedly. Behind her, Ben and Eric, holding flowers on the left and right, seemed to be welcoming guests from afar.
There is also a big cake on the table, which seems to be specially made for customers. There are snacks and various drinks on the table, and a game console is also inserted on the TV.
Even the lazy orange cat Gugu was forced to wear a clown hat, dressed up very gratifyingly.
"Let me introduce it."
Meilin hugged his sister, then pointed at the children behind her and said to Mei:
"This is Hermione, this is Porter, this is Ron and Ginny. They are both from the UK, my colleague's kids, and they will stay at home for a week and stroll around New York."
Merlin looked at the children again and introduced them to them:
"This is my sister, you can call her Mei. And her husband Ben. You should call Uncle Ben, or Ben. That kid is Eric, my younger brother. He is the same age as you. If you have any needs these days, you can ask Eric for help."
"Oh, look at these two little beauties."
May likes children, and there is no doubt that she stretched out her hand, held Hermione and Ginny's shoulders, and said to Merlin:
"It's like a little angel's glance. You should introduce us to us earlier. Come, kids, come in quickly."
Mei warmly greeted the children into the room, while Ben and Meilin helped the children deliver the gifts upstairs.
The house that Fury rented for Merlin was big enough. He and Eric lived in two of them before, and several rooms were empty. Now four children are coming, each with more than one room.
The ugly cat, Cruke Mountain, who is the most familiar with Merlin, followed Merlin to the second floor. The smart cat quickly discovered the luxurious cat nest on the balcony.
It shouted twice and rushed in, so close that Merlin didn't even have time to stop it.
But the next moment, a sharp cat moan rang out in the corridor.
The orange cat rushed into the balcony with anger, like a yellow lightning bolt, fighting with Crook Mountain, who was trying to seize its cat's nest.
Crook Mountain is also a magic creature. On weekdays, he is also a big shot in commanding the cat group near Hermione's house. But the question is, no matter how smart it is, how can it be the opponent of a Yuan-Devouring Beast?
In just a few seconds, Crook Mountain was beaten so hard that it begged for mercy.
The fluffy fur on its body was grabbed by the fierce Gugu for several times. The poor ugly cat was forced into the corner. When it looked at the fierce Gugu in front of it, it was frightened and its whole body was trembling.
"Gugu!"
Merlin stopped Gugu's continued violence against Cruke Mountain in time. He held Gugu with anger in his arms, took out the bought cat food from his magic pocket, put it into the rice bowl, and added two dried fish to relieve Gugu's anger.
As for Mount Crucker, the cunning cat had already taken the opportunity to escape.
Chapter completed!
