Transform randomly in Kexue World
Chapter 907 White-Faced Owl
"Just now, two little customers—little customers who are older than you—were fighting in the store. One of them threw a levitation spell and it hit these monster books."
The shop owner explained with a distressed look on his face.
As a bookstore owner, he could of course skillfully suppress and calm the runaway monster book, but normally monster books cannot fly and can only crawl quickly on the ground.
However, the two monsters that were hit by the floating curse were not only enraged, but also gained the ability to "crawl in the air". They bit whoever they saw and were very ferocious.
Then, the boss threw two 'Spell Stop' at the two pieces of ice to remove the floating spell.
With two bangs, the monster book that had lifted the floating spell fell to the ground along with the ice, and then the ice also shattered.
The boss raised his eyebrows slightly. It seemed that his spell of stopping had no effect on the 'freezing spell'.
The newly thawed monster books were still trembling, but soon became ferocious again, and each pounced on the nearest human like a violent Chihuahua.
But the monster books that couldn't fly were much easier to deal with. The boss and his assistant each dealt with one, and when the time was right, they pinned them down firmly, and then took out the leather book straps to tie up the monster books.
"Thank you for your help. These grumpy little guys are the cutest when they are tied up." The boss noticed that Ma Wu still looked a little frightened, so he deliberately handed the monster book to her by holding the book strap.
There are four eyes connected in a string on the cover of the monster book, and the cover is surrounded by a structure that is a mixture of leather, fluff and octopus tentacles.
Ma Wu saw that the cover of the monster book was furry, so he stretched out his finger to touch it, but the monster book struggled again.
The monster book was bound by the book belt and couldn't open its mouth wide, but there was still a little room for movement, and its mouth could still move slightly.
This struggle frightened Ma Wu again, and he hid behind Martin.
Martin thought it was very interesting, so he reached out and took the book strap, then reached out from the spine with his other hand and pinched the monster book. Just like grabbing a crab or a turtle, it is impossible to get bitten if you grab it this way.
After getting the book, Martin turned around to scare Ma Wu. He slowly approached Ma Wu with the monster book in his hand, then suddenly accelerated: "Wuhu——!"
“Ah——!” Ma Wu was both scared and disgusted. He ran to hide behind Huihara Ai, looked at his brother angrily, and asked for help aggrievedly: “Xiao Ai…”
Huihara Ai put her hands on her hips and glared at the childish Martin like a mother hen.
Doraemon on the side: Is there no one who praises my performance just now?
Martin turned to his boss and said, "In addition to the three sets of first-grade textbooks, take three copies of 'The Monster Book of Monsters'. Pick the most ferocious and violent ones."
This is a book, not a cricket fight... The bookstore owner complained in his heart, but still met the customer's request.
“Uh-huh…” Ma Wu twisted her face: “I don’t want to.”
"All three are mine." Martin made a face, then looked at Huiyuan Ai: "Ai, do you want to buy them?"
Huihara Ai shook her head and refused.
The first-grade textbooks had been packed into a pile by the boss, most of which were thick "big books". Martin found that a whole pile of books was a bit too much for a 7-year-old child, so he directly pulled Doraemon over and put the books into its four-dimensional pocket.
In the wizarding world, there is the Traceless Extension Charm that can be used to make storage equipment, so the bookstore owner would not be surprised by this. It's just that the Traceless Extension Charm is strictly controlled by the Ministry of Magic, and can only produce some props such as "wizard suitcases" and "family tents". Seeing this non-standard storage equipment, he is still a little concerned.
After putting two piles of books into Doraemon's dimensional pocket and preparing to put in the third pile, Huiyuan Ai stopped them and said, "Wait a moment."
Then Haibara Ai picked up the list of books in her admission letter and checked the stack of books against the list, verifying the titles and authors' names.
Theoretically, almost all freshmen would buy books here, so it was impossible for the bookstore owner to make a mistake in the matching of books, but Huiyuan Ai still checked it carefully. The owner did not say much, but focused on another problem.
"By the way, are you also freshmen?" The boss then noticed that the children in front of him did not look like freshmen of the right age at all. They were too young.
"What?" Martin put his hands on his hips, looking unconvinced: "Have you never seen a dwarf?"
Haibara Ai turned her head and squinted at him with contempt through her half-moon eyes: You are the shorty.
The boss didn't ask any more questions, and after Huiyuan Ai finished checking, he sent the three children and the chubby cat-eared golem away.
"Okay, we've bought everything we need." Martin clapped his hands, "Let's find a place to have lunch, and then go out and play in the afternoon."
"No!" Ma Wu suddenly said, "I haven't bought a pet yet."
The admission letter said that students could bring an owl, a cat or a toad.
"You already have Doraemon." Martin pointed at the hardworking fat man Huang, "For me, of course it's Rabbit."
Huiyuan Ai also said at the right time: "I don't need it."
The wording for admission credit is 'yes', so I guess it's okay to not bring a pet.
Ma Wu didn’t think so: “I want an owl!” In Ma Wu’s eyes, an owl is a standard item for little wizards.
"You look like an owl to me." Martin refused again. Ma Wu had no sense of responsibility when it came to keeping a pet. He was sure that in a few days, the pet would be taken care of by someone else in the family.
Ma Wu suddenly became very unhappy, and then looked at Doraemon with a complaining look, as if Doraemon had prevented him from buying an owl.
Even when they arrived at the medieval-style restaurant, Ma Wu still had a sullen look on his face as he looked at the braised venison steak with asparagus.
Seeing her like this, Huiyuan Ai softened her heart a little and said to Martin, "I changed my mind. I want to buy an owl."
Ma Wu raised his head and looked at Haibara Ai with surprise. He immediately realized that Haibara Ai was asking for it for him.
Martin felt betrayed and dissatisfied. He held his cheek with one hand and looked at Huibara Ai: You spoiled the child without principles just to please your sister-in-law, right?
Huiyuan Ai turned her head and ignored it: "You have no right to manage it. You manage yours and I will take care of mine. The owl is mine. If she doesn't take care of it, I will take care of it." After lunch, the group went to a pet store called Magic Zoo, which had all kinds of animals, and even an elephant that made Martin's heart beat.
However, Ma Wu didn't feel attracted by the owls in this pet shop. She seemed to want an owl like the snowy owl in Harry Potter. The few owls in this shop were all eagle owls and horned owls, brown or gray owls.
"How about we go to Vespania again this afternoon and get you a Wood Owl?" Martin suddenly suggested.
Pokémon are much easier to raise than ordinary animals.
However, Ma Wu shook his head firmly. Children are always like this, obsessed with things that adults are not aware of.
Upon learning that they came only for the owls, the owner wearing black-framed glasses told them that there was a shop specializing in selling owls in Diagon Alley. It turned out that Harry Potter bought the snowy owl there.
At the owl shop, Ma Wu, who had originally come for the white snowy owl, was attracted by another type of owl. It was a type of owl called the white-faced scops owl, also known as the white-faced owl. In biological classification, it belongs to the same family but different genus as the horned owl. Its color is black and white stripes like an ink painting, with orange-red eyes and well-developed ear feathers.
So they bought a white-faced scops owl, and now it’s time to name it.
"Meyer." When Ma Wu was thinking hard, Huiyuan Ai suddenly spoke: "This is my owl, I should name it, I want to call it Meyer."
The name is taken from a German female nuclear physicist.
Ma Wu, who thought the owl was already his, was a little confused, but if Huihara Ai hadn't asked before, she would definitely not have gotten the owl, so she didn't dare to complain. The name of this white-faced owl was Meyer.
"Meyer, Meyer, Meyer." Ma Wu called to the owl over and over again while feeding it pet food bought from the store.
The white-faced owl looked at Ma Wu and turned its head 180 degrees, but it couldn't figure out what he was doing.
As pets of wizards, these owls are much smarter than ordinary animals, but even so, they can't figure out who their masters are.
Passing by a Quidditch boutique, the window displayed the latest models of flying brooms. Ma Wu couldn't walk anymore, so he pulled Martin's arm and pointed at the window.
"First-year students are not allowed to bring their own broomsticks." Before Martin could say anything, Huihara Ai stopped him and made it clear that she would not help Ma Wu in this matter.
"It's okay." Martin was about to contradict her: "You are not allowed to bring your own. I can take Xiaoai's, Xiaoai can take Xiaowu's, and Xiaowu can take mine."
Doraemon complained: "Didn't they all end up in my pocket?"
In the end, they didn't buy the flying broom. Martin's original words were, "You can't even ride a bicycle, and you expect to ride a broom."
In fact, the biggest consideration is that Ma Wu's problem of losing control of her abilities means that she is not suitable for a single-person vehicle. Once her abilities suddenly affect speed, Martin or others may not be able to react in time.
Later, they passed by a "Magic Joke" shop, which was actually a prank props store. Martin went in and had a look out of interest.
The store sells 'fireworks that ignite when in contact with water' and cold flames that burn without heat; there are also 'canned snakes' with removable labels - compared to Muggle props that pop out fake snakes when the lid is opened, the wizard props here pop out real snakes created by magic spells.
Another example is the IT greeting card - an ordinary paper greeting card, when you open it, a half-scale portrait of a scary clown will pop up, which is similar to a clown doll box.
Generally speaking, they are common prank props among Muggles, but they are made more realistic and incredible with the power of wizards. There is no real intention behind them.
The only vicious one is the "Frog Egg Soap", which looks like a green soap, and the disguised packaging says that this soap can wash away the curse. But as long as the soap comes into contact with water, the sealed frog eggs will hatch rapidly, and then a large number of tadpoles will rush out, making people who hate amphibians fully experience the tingling feeling of their scalps.
There was a machine in the store with a very tempting button with the message "Don't press" next to it.
Martin asked Doraemon to press it, and after a burst of colorful smoke, Doraemon's head was dyed green.
For example, one prop is a pool of fake vomit, and another prop is a pool of real vomit.
Although similar props filled the shelves, Martin always felt that these props were not good enough for pranks, so he shook his head in disgust and left without buying anything under the watchful eyes of the boss.
There is also a shallow bamboo basket at the door of the store, which contains many rose-red candies. These candies are sweet on the outside but very sour on the inside - super strong acid that can corrode your tongue.
The purpose of placing the candies outside is to let the little wizards passing by see them and arouse their desire to buy them. However, the store owner was afraid that the children passing by might have dirty hands and feet, so he inserted a sign in the candy basket: {One of the candies has been cursed with an explosion. Please contact the store clerk to select the explosive acid candies.}
As the name suggests, if you eat a candy that has been cursed with an explosion, your head will be blown off by the exploding candy.
Martin stopped as he passed by, wrote a few words, and then walked away.
The shop owner noticed Martin's actions, chased after them after they left, and saw a line of words on the sign.
{Now there are two.}
Back at the hotel, the three of them were very tired. They had come from Japan today and had not yet adjusted to the time difference. Although it was afternoon in London, it was already late at night in Japan. Ma Wu lay down on the bed exhausted, but he released the white-faced owl Meyer from the cage, let it stand on his arm and stroked it.
Haibara Ai took out the books from Doraemon's pocket one by one, then opened them one by one and scanned them, observing each page to see if there were any missing pages or omissions.
This was a lesson she learned when she was studying in the United States. She should check carefully whether there are any printing problems on the day she buys the book. Otherwise, she would not discover the problem until after she arrived at Hogwarts and studied for a period of time. Then she would have to run back to Diagon Alley to change it. Not only would the journey be troublesome, but there was also the possibility that the store would not honor her payment.
Because the book had many pages and was thick, Martin and Doraemon had to stay and were pulled over for her inspection.
Then Martin let Rabbit out for examination together, but Haibara Ai was not reassured about Rabbit's examination results, so she checked it again herself.
As it turned out, the wizard's printing method was trustworthy, and it should have been a convenient spell. Everyone worked until sunset without finding any problems.
Martin was also tired. He picked up the intercom and asked room service to bring up dinner. Then he fell on the bed: "Go to bed early after dinner. You have to take the train to school tomorrow morning."
"Yeah!" Ma Wu, who was playing with an owl, was still happy at the thought of really going to Hogwarts, but suddenly he realized that something seemed to be wrong.
Go to school? Go to school tomorrow? Go to school now?
Until this time, Ma Wu finally reacted slowly: "Isn't it a holiday now?"
Where did I go on vacation? Doesn't school start in March?
"The start time for wizards is different from that for ordinary people." Martin lied with his eyes wide open: "You chose it yourself." (End of this chapter)
