When Hermione informed Merlin that there was a Ministry of Magic investigation on the side of London, which would stimulate his dark magic, Merlin made up his mind to leave the city as quickly as possible.
On the night of the restaurant, after the dark magic broke through the boundaries, almost every hour, Merlin could feel that the rapidly expanding force was contaminating his soul in a "siege".
This is the stage where the demonization begins, first the soul, like a piece of paper being thrown into the ink, and after it has completely infiltrated the ink, it will become part of that ink.
When the soul is filled with darkness and distorted, then the body changes.
Merlin didn't want to change from a normal person to a twisted half-demon within a month.
When saying goodbye to Hermione, Hermione took Merlin a drop of blood as a sign of magic.
The little girl’s home is actually on the next street of the restaurant. It can be seen only from the apartment where Hermione’s little girl lives. This little girl also belongs to the category of excellent family.
Merlin sent Hermione downstairs, then returned to the hotel as quickly as possible, simply packed up her clothes, and took the nearest train to leave the city of London.
His destination is the seaside town of Brighton, an hour’s drive from London, which is a famous local tourist destination, where Merlin is better hidden.
And this is a perfect reason for vacation. When communicating by phone, Agent Garrett agreed to Merlin’s vacation request without saying a word. Like a qualified senior, he told Merlin to take a good vacation and take a good rest.
Unfortunately, Merlin still couldn't tell him his secret.
On the third day of leaving London.
At sunset, Merlin was wearing casual jeans and a shirt, leaning on a chair beside the bed. After opening the door of a door, the curtains swayed by the wind kept swaying. In the wind of late autumn and almost winter, the whole room was slightly cold, but Merlin's heart was slightly anxious.
The endless black smoke was like some kind of weird decoration, beating continuously on his fingers, making Merlin's fingers look like blown out candles.
This is not his active use of his atomizing power, it is not the case.
It was the rapid growth of the dark magic in his soul that was spreading. The endless black smoke represented Merlin's rapidly fallen soul. But the good news is that these spreading magical powers are not as uncontrollable as they were two years ago. It is now very gentle and does not cause the kind of doom that used to be.
The bad news is that the magical power of Merlin’s body escape is too large, which has caused the shell pendant given to him by the underwater man Vico has been overwhelmed. Even if Merlin desperately drinks water, the purification power of this pendant is getting more and more The huge magical power dissipated, and it seemed a bit insignificant.
The shiny shell was now dull and dull, and the surface was full of cracks.
If you go on like this, Merlin doubts that this pendant will be completely destroyed in another day at most. And once this Merlin is currently the only thing that can resist the damage of magic infestation, Merlin's situation will be even worse.
"boom"
A faint collision made Merlin, who was in deep thought, suddenly raise his head. In the dark perception, Merlin noticed that a small life was trying to enter Merlin's house from the other side.
That life... a little weird, with a faint magical breath.
Merlin got up quickly and walked to another house, and then he saw...
a cat.
A cat lying in the cold wind with fluffy fur swaying in the wind.
Carrying a small, delicate rucksack on the back of the cat, it was buttoned on the cat like a dress. To be honest, this cat is a little ugly, it is probably the ugliest cat Merlin has ever seen.
Its face is flat, as if it hit a head on something. And from the front, the cat always seemed unhappy.
But the cat's eyes are very sharp, and in the yellow eyes, there is a clear light of wisdom.
When he saw Merlin, the cat stretched out its paws, just like knocking on the door, and took a few shots on Merlin's window. The latter hurried forward, opened the window, and the cat rushed into the house actively, and then quickly found the warmest place, curled up in a ball, and made a comfortable meow.
It seems that its journey along the way is not too comfortable.
"Uh, are you Hermione's messenger?"
Merlin couldn't hold what to do with this clever cat. After a while, he walked back to the kitchen, and when he came out, he already had a can of beef in his hand.
Merlin tore the can open, and the cat smelling the scent raised its head violently. Its forelegs were propped on the ground, and in a crouching posture, it gazed at Merlin with a gleaming gaze, and its tail was still shaking.
Merlin placed the can in front of the clever and overly cat. The latter snorted, turned around, and exposed the rucksack behind Merlin's eyes, while he lowered his head and began to taste his dinner.
There was a letter in the rucksack. On the envelope, there was a sentence written by Hermione:
"Merlin, I asked Crookshanks to send you the letter. Please take good care of my cat and help me bring it back when I return to London next time."
"PS: Don't give it too much meat, it's losing weight recently, thank you."
"Oh, it turns out that your name is Crookshank. It's a strange name."
Merlin glanced at the fat cat, who indulged in food and ignored Merlin with the kind of arrogance that the cat should have. And Merlin did not disturb its enjoyment, he took the letter and returned to the balcony.
He opened the stationery, which was full of Juanxiu fonts, just like the elegant text in ancient books.
"Merlin:"
"I'm currently on vacation at my friend Ron's house. His family is one of the famous families of pure-blood wizards. You should thank Ron's parents for their generosity. They allowed me to go over their family's collection and I finally found a solution to you. The current magic method."
"Please don't rush to find the method at the end of the letter. After reading this excerpt patiently, it should be very helpful to you."
Seeing this, Merlin finally breathed a sigh of relief, and finally, Hermione finally found a way for him.
It's not easy.
Merlin did not open the second stationery immediately according to Hermione's instructions, but continued to read patiently.
The following paragraph should be excerpted from a book by Hermione, filled with a serious tone like a textbook.
"In the Muggle world, ignorance is a common phenomenon, and the disasters caused by ignorance are even more numerous."
"The Muggles will reject everything that is different from their own, even if it is their true compatriots. From the persecution of witches in the Middle Ages to the genocide of the Second World War, the disputes of today have proved A little bit, that is the hatred between Muggles and Muggles, it will never stop."
"Today, what we are going to discuss is a catastrophe caused by ignorance in history."
"Many times hundreds of years ago, when a child with magical talent was forced to suppress his magical talent due to physical or psychological abuse, these poor children would naturally produce emotions Extremely painful emotions. Even the little wizards who have just learned magic know that twisted pain combined with extraordinary talents will produce real monsters."
"The children who are abused and repressed, in the long-term pain, will create a dangerous parasitic force of dark magic."
"And when they reach the point of collapse at the emotional or will level, they will lose control of the body and magic, and that kind of loss of control will release the dark power in their body in a destructive gesture. Under normal conditions, the released power will form a kind of Muggle invisible, but extremely destructive wind. Even in extreme cases, their bodies will directly integrate into this dark storm."
"According to the research of the most famous contemporary alchemist Nick Mailer, we call this phenomenon ‘Obscurus’, the hidden ‘shadow of darkness’, or in a more popular translation, silently.

Reading this, Merlin's expression became very serious, and he knew why Hermione asked him to finish reading this.
The dark power described in this article is exactly the same as some characteristics of the dark magic in him.
Merlin breathed a sigh of relief. He looked into the distance. Any fear came from the unknown, and once he knew the details, no matter what the horror was, it seemed less terrifying.
After his emotions subsided, he read it again.
"The shadow of darkness, or silent, is born of strong self-suppression and self-hate. It is the product of the combination of pain and magic. It represents the most tragic aspect of human nature, that is, the denial and hatred of self. According to Ancient literature records that children with shadows of darkness cannot live past 10 years old, but I firmly believe that miracles will happen in any disaster."
"Maybe those miracles have already happened, they are hidden in the history we have not yet discovered."
"Of course, the Muggle world and civilization are also developing and progressing. The psychological theory they invented can effectively treat the catastrophe caused by this mental illness."
"At the same time, with the strong intervention of the Ministry of Magic, the silent in Europe has disappeared as early as the last century, and the last silent in North America also completely disappeared around 1926. Although there is news that Until the 1950s, there were still silent activists in Europe, but there is no official evidence to prove this claim."
"Looking back at history can guide our way forward. I hope that a tragedy like the silent one will never appear again."
"- Excerpt from the famous wizard Horace Slughorn's 1985 book "Epic of Magic""
So far on the first page of stationery, Merlin had read this excerpt, and he felt a lot of emotion in his heart.
He lowered his head and looked at his open fingers in the night. He recalled his experience of the past four years. After a while, he sighed and said softly:
"Self hatred and self negation."
"So the more I hate you, the more negative you are, but are you stronger?"
"No wonder..."
Merlin has a kind of understanding of his deteriorating situation. Although his situation is very different from the "silent person" described in the excerpt, this extremely similar magic phenomenon should have similar causes.
After Merlin got the dark magic from the compulsion of Sannomiya, he did not hate it for a day.
He longed to return to the ordinary life, he longed to completely eliminate this power, but the more extreme thinking, the more the dark magic will grow.
That is a real monster, it feeds on hate and grows bit by bit in pain.
Merlin tried to stop it, but used the wrong method.
"But, if you want me, how can you accept you calmly?"
Merlin shook his head, put the first stationery aside, and picked up the second one.
Compared with the large text on the first page, the information on the second stationery is much less.
"Merlin, if you patiently read the knowledge I copied to you, I think you should have understood the source of your problem."
"What I want to tell you is that I have read a lot of classics, but your situation is the most special. I can tell you with certainty that you are not a "silent person", you do not meet the criteria for the magic phenomenon, even In the encyclopedia of magic, there are few records of your situation."
"Maybe more formal wizards than I have wisdom and knowledge will know the cause of your current situation, but I think that if a method can cure the silent, then it should also help your current situation."
"So, listen to me, Merlin..."
"Start now, learn magic! It's not too late."
Hermione's suggestion made Merlin's eyes wide. He asked the little girl how to remove the influence of the dark magic, but unexpectedly, the little girl's advice to him actually asked him to take the initiative to accept it.
In other words, Hermione's advice to Merlin is the same as that of the undersea person Vico to Merlin.
What he needs is not redemption, but acceptance of this cold reality!
They wanted him to really accept the dark magic in their bodies from the depths of their hearts.
"The best way to heal the Silent One is to let them learn the skills of manipulating magic so that they can properly control the release of magic. I asked Uncle Arthur, the father of Ron, who is a wise formal wizard ."
"He told me that if a silent person keeps suppressing himself and does not use magic, he will soon be completely swallowed up silently. For now, this is the only way to save you."
"But the problem is, Merlin, I'm just a second-grade wizard. I didn't get permission to teach you magic. I can't even lend you my magic book. But Ron thought of a way for me, he told me Me, magic textbooks cannot be outsourced, but there is one exception."
"In the magic world, we call people without magic talents'Muggles', which is a scorn. And between the wizards and Muggles, there is a weird crowd called'mute guns', It means those who have a talent for magic, but for various reasons, cannot release magic."
"Dumb cannons are a group of sad people in the eyes of formal wizards. They are between the magic world and the present world, and are not recognized by both parties."
"But some dumb cannons are unwilling to do so, they will always sneak in and try to break through the shackles in various ways. The holding of magic textbooks in the hands of these people is not considered a sin... and even the Ministry of Magic will Opening one eye and closing one eye on this kind of thing is probably out of the pity of the wizards for the dumb cannon."
"This is your chance, Merlin."
"I told Mr. Arthur about your situation, and I told him that I had a friend with a dumb gun who wanted some teaching materials. Although Mr. Arthur was not very willing to help, but after I promised to date Ron, that annoyance The guy promised to help me persuade his father."
"Remember this address, Merlin, two days later, look for Mr. Arthur here...don't talk about the leak! Just treat yourself as an unlucky dumb gun, okay?"
"Take this opportunity and become a wizard, Mr. Merlin, I'm sure you will be the best wizard!"
"Finally, I wish you all the best!"
"Hermione Jane Granger, November 4, 1992, in the Burrow."
After reading the letter, Merlin remembered the address that Hermione had told him. It was a strange address, near Brighton, in a somewhat remote town.
"Um...Yuema Bar."
"Thank you! Little Hermione."
