Early the next morning, at 5:55 in the morning, Merlin was awake from meditation on time.
He took a shower first, then sat in a robe and sat by the window, watching the gradually awakening city, and ate his breakfast refreshingly in the tranquility of no one disturbing.
Although it was on vacation, Merlin did not particularly want to go.
If it wasn't for receiving the invitation, to come to the Weasley family's party, he was actually more willing to sleep lazy at home in New York for a week, and then go to Wisconsin for a turn.
But since coming to London, Merlin intends to use these days to find some magic supplies he needs in Diagon Alley.
It was a long purchase order. He needed several days and enough luck to collect everything he needed.
The clock on the wall slowly pointed to 7 o'clock, and Merlin's door was knocked.
"Come in."
Merlin leaned on the chair and shouted at the door.
At the next moment, accompanied by the magic wave of the shifting spell, a house elf with a rag on his body and wearing a pair of furry boots appeared in front of Merlin in a disguised and majestic posture.
That's Dobby.
Merlin had seen it once before and had surgery on it.
Speaking of which, this elf is really fatal. Merlin still remembers that he had at least 3 mistakes that he should not have had while operating on Dobby. But the elf still survived the threat of death tenaciously.
Dobby was very nervous. He received a message from the kindly Mr. Harry last night. He knew that Mr. Merlin, who had saved his life, was likely to become its new boss.
But Mr. Merlin is not a good-spoken employer, he needs an interview with Dobby. This is the first time Dobby has participated in an interview. It even secretly ran to the Muggles library for this and read the book all night.
Now, Dobby is pushing his chest hard, trying to make himself look smarter.
But unfortunately, its appearance determines that this disguised gesture can only make it look more funny.
Creatures like domesticated elves are inherently short, even shorter than the elves in Gu Ling Pavilion.
And their appearance is also very weird, as ugly as those ugly goblins, with bat-like ears, slender nose. The most important thing is that most of them look thin and bony, but they have big eyes, so it looks more scary than the protruding eyes and the green pupil.
There is no hair on the top of his head, and there are many wrinkles on his forehead.
Overall, this is not a creature that looks good at a glance.
In fact, the status of such ugly creatures in the wizarding world is also very awkward. When they were born from the wizarding civilization, they served as slaves around the wizard's door.
It is said that this originated from a human wizard's rescue operation of domestic elves. The rescued elves voluntarily become servants of the wizards in return for their gratitude. Coupled with their natural good magic sense, in thousands of years of inheritance, domestic Elves have become an important part of the wizarding civilization.
In this era, most house-elves have treated themselves as slaves after thousands of years of slavery inheritance. Most elves have never thought of changing their current status and status.
They regard loyalty as the greatest dedication of their lives, and even in some ancient families, when the house-elves are old and do nothing, the master will cut off his head and use it as a collection.
This cruel behavior is even regarded as a kind of twisted "glory" by domestic elves.
However, as long as the forest is big, there will be any birds. The oppression lasts for thousands of years, and some people will always resist.
Dobby is the most unique among the house elves. Harry said it knows whether it is good or bad.
In fact, Dobby really didn’t like his former owner, the Malfoy family, because they were a group of crazy Death Eaters. While trying to obey the rules of the race, they also felt that they were serving the evil. Shame, it wanted to rebel and acted.
It violated the master's orders several times, helped Harry Potter, and finally was free with the help of Harry.
This is a unique life, and Merlin looked at the drowsy house elf who had known all the stories about Dobby from Harry and Ron.
If there is a human in front of him, then Merlin will put him in his own department. He needs such disguised and rebellious employees who know right from wrong.
But the problem is that Dobby is not an individual.
"Dobby, I believe that Harry has told you what I said."
Merlin was wearing a nightgown. He tilted his legs and looked at the nervous house elf in front of him. He said:
"I don't need you to serve me, I don't need a servant. I live in the Muggle world. In our world, slavery has been extinct thousands of years ago, and I don't need you to be my slave. "
"Yes, Mr. Merlin."
Dobby replied in a sharp, calm voice:
"Mr. Harry told Dobby that Mr. Merlin needs Dobby to join your department and become a...er, magic affairs consultant."
Speaking of which, Dobby said nervously:
"To be honest, Dobby doesn't think he is qualified to be a magic adviser. Dobby is just a humble domestic elf. Dobby doesn't know too many secrets of wizards."
"But at least you know much more than Muggles."
Merlin waved his finger, he said softly:
"What you want to join is a department made up of Muggles, where your knowledge and magic can help a lot. The most important thing is that I need an assistant who can use the metamorphosis skillfully to My subordinates provide the necessary support."
"Yes, Dobby's Shifting Charm works very well. This is an innate ability of all house elves."
The house elf nodded hurriedly. It had a habit of speaking. It would not call itself "me", but called its own name. This is probably the habit of house elves as slaves.
Because in the eyes of masters, slaves are not an equal life, they are just a talking, wise object, not qualified to use the word "me".
"not bad?"
Merlin tasted the word. He looked at Dobby and said:
"You're too humble, Dobby. At least I haven't seen a wizard who can take 5 people at once and transfer from England to North America... Your attainments on the metamorphosis are already comparable to those Great wizard. This is really outstanding."
Merlin's praise made Dobby less nervous, and a smile appeared on his ugly face.
"The next question, Dobby, will you use other magic besides the shapeshifting spell?"
Merlin asked.
Dobby nodded:
"The basic magic Dobby will use. The Malfoys will never avoid Dobby when teaching their sons. Dobby remembers those spells. Next, Malfoy is stupid. Dobby only needs a few exercises to do it. It takes him several days to master the magic he uses."
"Look at it with a disarming curse."
Merlin took out his wand and put it in his hand.
Dobby was frightened, and said softly:
"No, no! Mr. Merlin saved many lives, and Dobby is interviewing. He cannot use magic on Mr. Merlin. This is wrong."
"This is also part of the interview, Dobby."
Merlin said to the house elf in front of him:
"I need you to be a member of my department, but I don't need to be cumbersome in my department. Before you officially start, Dobby, I need to make sure you can handle the series of tasks I will hand you in the future...this is very Importantly, I can't send someone who has no power to go into a dangerous zone."
"Then...okay."
Dobby stretched out his slender fingers. In Merlin's gaze, the elf had no spells and almost no magical fluctuations. It just snapped its fingers, and the wand in Merlin's hand was slammed by the invisible hand. Pumping, Lola's wand will jump off Merlin's palm.
But at the next moment, Merlin's fingers clenched again, offsetting Dobby's disarming spell.
This disappointed Dobby, his big ears all shrugged down, and apparently, he thought that his interview had failed.
But not.
"Very good, Dobby! You have proven your ability. Your disarming spell is as skillful as your migrating spell."
Merlin was very satisfied with the performance of the house elf.
He needs to take on the task of saving the agents’ lives in critical times in the future. Among them, the shapeshifting spell and the disarming spell are two very important magics. The ability to use the disarming spell without a spell also fully proves the magical potential of this elf. As long as it is given enough time, it can become A magic advisor who rivals the official wizard
And it has a big advantage.
Muggles, that is ordinary people, can't see domestic elves. They are essentially members of magical creatures.
In this way, when Dobby performs his mission in the Muggle world, it is equivalent to putting on the best disguise.
Now that the interview has been conducted, it is almost the same.
Dobby's various performances satisfied Merlin. Perhaps his will and thoughts would not be overwhelmed in a moment and a half, but it does not matter, Merlin has enough time to reverse its misconceptions.
"This...sign it."
Merlin handed over a contract prepared last night to Dobby, who took the hands respectfully in his hands.
Although this house elf is more rebellious than his companions, it also inherits the extremely polite habit of house elves. Although it looks ugly and looks funny, it is not difficult to see if you look closely, there is a very elegant style between Dobby's hands and feet.
Even the movement of snapping fingers just now, the arm is shaking very rhythmically, if it is placed on a human, it is also quite chic.
Dobby looked at the contract that Merlin had given it. This was the first time it had seen a contract related to itself.
Especially when he saw the salary on the last page, Dobby's big eyes widened. He looked at the string of dollars and the conversion rate of Jin Jialong in the back. Started and looked at Merlin.
it says:
"Too much, this is too much. Mr. Merlin, Dobby was originally at Hogwarts..."
"I know what you did at Hogwarts."
Merlin waved his hand and said to Dobby:
"But that's in the wizarding world, you are now an employee of the Muggle world. In our world, there is a term called minimum income. I can't lower your salary anymore, otherwise it is illegal...you can It’s understood that this is the least amount of compensation you can get in theory, and you don’t need to feel worried about it at all.”
"Uh?"
Dobby blinked and said:
"Mr. Merlin, Dobby doesn't know much about people in the Muggle world, but are you all so generous?"
"I don't know anyone else."
Merlin shrugged:
"But the benefits of SHIELD are indeed pretty good, how is it? Dobby, do you want to sign?"
"Ok."
Dobby nodded and said to Merlin:
"Dobby has nowhere to go. The kindly Mr. Harry has kept Shining. It is Dobby's friend. Dobby doesn't want to trouble other good people. If Mr. Merlin thinks Dobby can help, then Dobby will do his best. Help."
After that, his slender fingers flicked gently, and a name with very beautiful lines was written neatly in the signing field of the contract.
"well."
Merlin accepted the contract, and he stood up and said to Dobby:
"Then from now on, to the next 5 years, Dobby, you are a subordinate department of S.H.I.E.L.D., an official consultant of SDOLD. You may not understand what our department is doing. I think you can understand an example. , We are the Department of Magical Affairs Management of the Muggle World. Any magic-related affairs that occur in the Muggle World are under our jurisdiction."
Speaking of which, Merlin looked at the worn pillowcase and furry boots Dobby was wearing. He frowned and said:
"You need to go through 6 months of training before you can formally enter the job. Before you enter the special service college, I will give you 2 additional tasks."
"Uh huh."
Dobby nodded vigorously, looking up at Merlin, and he said:
"Please tell me, master, uh, I mean, Mr. Merlin."
"Call me sir!"
Merlin said, he hooked his finger, and his wallet flew from his jacket pocket into his hand. Merlin took out several banknotes from it and handed it to Dobby, who said:
"This is your uniform and weapon allowance. I need you to go to Madame Mokin's robe shop in Diagon Alley at the fastest speed and order a suitable agent uniform. I have greeted Mrs. Mokin in advance, In the future, uniforms in our department will be made by her. In addition, I also need you to go to Mr. Ollivander's wand shop and pick a suitable wand for yourself."
"A good agent, how can there be no weapons?"
