Hogwarts Summoning Manual

Chapter 490 The Miraculous River of Scars

Similar to Earth, the Kingdom of Gali in South Asia has become the world's most populous country in the magical world. The population structure is also similar, with the top ten percent of the population controlling the vast majority of wealth, while the remaining ninety percent of the poor are still living in famine.

However, compared to the original Earth that relies on technology, the living environment in the magical world of Gali is much better. Take the sacred river of Gali, the Hen River, for example. On the original Earth, the Hen River is already a synonym for mud, a stronghold of viruses and bacteria, and a huge polluted body of water with E. coli levels more than a thousand times higher than normal.

In the magical world of Gali, there lived a considerable number of wizards, whom they called "saints" or "divine messengers." In addition to their extravagant and decadent lives, these wizards occasionally did good deeds, such as cleaning up the water quality of the Hen River. After all, during religious festivals, whether they were the richest man or a high-ranking official, they would all have to take a swim in the Hen River.

Over time, the River of Hem in this world has become much cleaner than the River of Hem on Earth, though this is only in the Galilean sense.

However, when Fang Bailin arrived in Gali Kingdom, he was completely stunned by the scene there.

Bai Lin wouldn't be surprised if he thought that such a densely populated area would be a hellish scene under the pollution offensive of the Hastur Church, with the entire country covered by black asphalt-like pollutants and billions of people becoming deformed servants of Hastur.

But the truth is, the fighting here is at a stalemate.

Indeed, some city-states have fallen, and everything of modern civilization has been corrupted by the Church of Hastur. However, many city-states along the River Scar have survived and retained their original urban appearance.

Large numbers of deformed monsters controlled by pollution roam the outskirts of the city, and the sounds of gunfire and explosions can be heard everywhere.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out that there were many Indian men with thick headscarves and scarves covering their heads, using some strange weapons to fight against the deformed monster.

Those things looked like large water guns, some even like large syringes, spraying a pale yellow liquid onto the deformed monsters or onto the contaminated land.

While these liquids may not have an immediate, sweeping effect, they are highly lethal to deformed monsters. Generally, being sprayed three or four times will cause a two-meter-tall deformed monster to collapse and remain motionless for one or two hours before melting and dying.

The contaminated land will gradually recover after being sprayed with these liquids.

Bai Lin quickly discovered that these secret weapons were none other than the water of the Hen River.

"Damn it, is this river really that magical? We've really messed up..." Bai Lin couldn't help but curse.

When he saw a bearded Indian wizard using magic to create a rain of needles that annihilated a large number of deformed monsters, he felt even more inclined to swear.

It's true what they say, everyone has their own unique talents. Indians are useless on Earth, but they're incredibly gifted in the magical world.

Bai Lin wandered around for a long time but found that there was nothing that required his intervention. In this catastrophe, although nearly a third of the population of Gali Kingdom disappeared, the country was not greatly affected and even formed a situation of counterattack and recovery.

This is all because they have the magical Hen River.

Bai Lin carefully collected some water samples, and guess what? The Summoning Compendium, which had been dormant for a long time, suddenly sent a notification.

[Special water sample detected; relevant data uploaded to the Tree of Life array; results are being queried and analyzed...]

About ten minutes later, I received another notification.

[Diluted Magic Poison Culture Medium: A water mixture of dozens of biological proteins, biological excrement, and magical poisons, which becomes a natural culture medium for Earth's microorganisms, exhibiting a high degree of repulsion against life forms from other planets. This discovery enriches research on planetary self-sustaining microbial environments, and the host receives a reward of Earth's poison.]

Bai Lin looked at the explanation, seemingly understanding but not quite. He understood because he had also seen similar science fiction movies about interstellar travel. The microbial environment of some planets is very different from that of Earth. Even if the oxygen content in the air is sufficient and the toxic gases are extremely rare, a person could still develop a fatal bacterial infection just by breathing in a few breaths.

Similarly, many bacteria or viruses on Earth have been adapted to by Earth's organisms, forming symbiotic relationships, such as humans and E. coli. Some have even become beneficial probiotics, but some microorganisms might be highly toxic to extraterrestrial life.

Gracua was well aware of the taboos of interstellar travel, so he immediately possessed Grindelwald's body, thinking that by fusing with the genes of what he considered the "strongest human," adapting to Earth's microbial environment would be a piece of cake.

But he underestimated the Hen River. This great river, stretching for thousands of miles, has been nurtured by the billions of Indians over the years. Even Grindelwald might not be able to withstand it!

Thus, the biological pollution weapon created by Grakua was perfectly countered by the Hen River.

Although Bai Lin was extremely disgusted, he still grumbled and found a deserted section of the river. He used low-temperature evaporation to collect the concentrated Hen River water. He collected about twenty tons, which exhausted him. The main problem was the faint smell, which made him feel like he was being tortured.

Let's look at the rewards from the Summoning Encyclopedia:

[Earth's Poison: After comparing samples from multiple planets, a specially concentrated Earth poison has been identified. Its toxicity is not limited to the physiological and spiritual levels, but its effects on life forms from other planets are increased by 200 times.]

Bai Lin was taken aback by the explanation. He had a feeling that this might be the trump card to completely kill Grakua.

He looked down at the Hen River again, never expecting that the solution to the Earth's crisis would be found in the nearby country of Gali.

Bai Lin flew over more than a dozen southern city-states again, but did not find any particularly powerful Hastur followers, so he turned and flew to the poorer northern states.

The terrain of Gali rises significantly in elevation, and the area is mostly comprised of impoverished and underdeveloped mountain villages. Many areas lack even roads accessible to cars. Just as Bai Lin had predicted, this region was completely abandoned by the Gali wizards and nearly wiped out by the Hastur Church, leaving behind only dark, ruined villages.

Bai Lin had a vague premonition that he was very close to Grakua.

He persisted in patrolling Uttar Pradesh for three days, and hardly saw any living people wherever he went. When he encountered heavily polluted areas, he also took action to eliminate the deformed monsters that were devouring their own kind, preventing them from becoming a pest.

Traveling further north to the Nepalese border, he finally heard long-lost human voices. Following the sound, he flew towards it and found a gigantic tree in a high-altitude forest. Clinging to this giant tree, more than ten tall wooden buildings had been constructed, seemingly an ancient temple.

As Bai Lin flew closer, he could vaguely see the protective magic array around the giant tree, keeping tens of thousands of deformed monsters outside the array.
