Hogwarts Summoning Guide

Two days later, the first match of the Beast Arena will be held. After a week of extensive promotion and voting, the fairies have selected three ferocious beasts.

Although Fire Dragon received a lot of votes, it was "unfortunate" that it was not included in the list. Bai Lin guessed that Patrice was considering "cost" or wanted to put Fire Dragon in a later competition.

The three beasts ultimately selected were: the leopard cat, the eight-eyed giant spider, and the chimera.

Patrice also published a special article in the Daily Prophet introducing these three ferocious beasts, focusing on which celebrities had died at their hands, such as this:

Chimera: Native to Greece, it is a magical creature known for its bloodlust and violence. It has the head of a lion, the body of a goat, and the tail of a dragon. The famous Quidditch player "Dangerous" Day Llewellyn of the Caerpillar Flying Crossbow was killed by a Chimera while on vacation in Greece.

Below is a picture of a menacing chimera that scares children so much they can't sleep.

In short, the hype was pushed to its extreme. On the day of the competition, the zoo was already packed with tourists early in the morning, many of whom brought tents and tablecloths with them.

The giant security guards kept complaining to Patrice that there were too many tourists and they couldn't manage them all, but Patrice obviously couldn't count on the park manager to take charge, so he had to bring in a large number of people from the private estate again.

However, a large crowd means explosive profits today. Fairy employees are already selling lottery tickets and distributing posters of challengers and beasts in the crowd.

Bai Lin hadn't been idle these past two days; he spent 500 Galleons to borrow 10 house-elves from the Hogwarts kitchen.

Since it's summer vacation, the school kitchen obviously doesn't need so many elves as chefs, and being idle is the biggest "sin" of house-elves, so Bai Lin felt that he had "the best of both worlds".

Dumbledore thanked Bai Lin for his generosity, saying that the 500 Galleons would be used for the school's repairs. Bai Lin thought to himself, "What do I care what you do with it?"

As a result, not only were there plenty of staff in the convenience store, but house-elves were also seen carrying boxes of oriental delicacies, weaving through the crowd with signs hanging on their backs: 5 Nats will be donated to help injured animals with each meal purchased.

Bai Lin thought to himself, "You, Patrice, know how to play the marketing game, so why can't I?"

The real competition took place after dusk, just as darkness fell, with the arena illuminated by large braziers, much like the Colosseum in ancient Rome.

The stands were packed. Besides the wizards from France, many wizards from Italy, Germany, and other countries had also come after hearing the news. After all, there were very few things that wizards could usually do for entertainment. Quidditch was one, and Gwent was another. People were craving something exciting new. Bai Lin thought that maybe if he organized a wizard talent show, it would be a hit.

Although the contestants were all new faces, the audience still brought a lot of banners and signs, displaying the challengers they supported. After all, they had placed bets, so they had to shout out their support.

Patrice selected two young bounty hunters, one of whom was from Ukraine, tall and strong, and nicknamed him "Polar Bear Warrior" (which was incredibly cheesy).

The second one came from America, was of medium build and somewhat thin, and was said to be a surgeon in the Muggle world, so Patrice gave him the nickname "Doctor Death," which was fairly standard.

As luck would have it, Bai Lin drew the Eight-Eyed Giant Spider. Bai Lin exclaimed, "What use is a spider to me?" However, the Summoning Encyclopedia indicated that continuing to seal the adult Eight-Eyed Giant Spider might activate a new summoning spell.

In Patrice's passionate introduction, the "Polar Bear Warrior" is the first to appear, and he will face the cat-leopard—the king of the jungle.

The polar bear was dressed in a white fur coat, leaving Bai Lin speechless. It was obviously something the "organizers" had put together to match its nickname. This guy must be incredibly hot. However, at a height of two meters, it really did resemble a giant polar bear, wielding a large axe and looking quite imposing.

The audience stood up and cheered, as if welcoming a hero or a star, unaware that this guy was an ordinary person just yesterday, which shows the commercial effect of paid voting and betting.

With a wave of his hand, several wizards cast spells on the central platform, and the flat stone platform began to change its terrain. In less than two minutes, it had transformed into a jungle landscape.

The ground was muddy and slippery, and huge banyan trees, myrtle trees, Brazil trees... occupied the entire venue, but these plants were all magically created scenery. The audience did not need to worry about the challengers and beasts being blocked by the tree canopy. From the audience's perspective, the surrounding scenery would become transparent where the challengers were located.

"This is quite convenient. It seems that Patricias has gone all out!" Bai Lin opened the curtain a crack in the preparation area and clicked his tongue as he looked inside.

"Polar Bear" finally took off his coat, revealing a bald, burly man covered in sweat. He was wearing tight leather armor and a horned helmet, dressed like a Viking warrior. However, Bai Lin wouldn't mistake him for a big, brainless guy. Wizards who make a living by taking bounty missions are usually not pushovers.

With a roar, the polar bear leaped into the jungle arena. At the other end of the arena, a large cage rose from the ground. The cage was pitch black inside. As the iron gate slowly opened, a tan figure flashed by, and the audience didn't even see what jumped out.

"So fast!" Bai Lin's expression was solemn. The name "Cat Leopard" sounded similar to the leopard cats on the Earth where Bai Lin used to live. It sounded harmless and cute, but the speed at which it darted out proved that it was a very powerful jungle predator.

"The leopard cat is similar in size to a leopard, which seems insignificant among giant beasts that are often tens of feet in size. However, the Ministry of Magic has classified its danger level as XXXXX because countless wizards who underestimated them have been hunted down by leopard cats in the jungle, their blood and lives proving to the world that speed and agility are the rules of survival in the jungle!"

An old man's voice came over the loudspeaker; it was the animal expert that Patrice had brought from the Ministry of Magic.

Although the area was quite large, the polar bear and the leopard cat were engaged in combat in less than three minutes. It seems that Patrice had starved the leopard cat for at least two days, prompting the predator to launch an attack on the polar bear.

The polar bear donned his armor (he, like Hagrid, likely concealed his wand within the handle of his axe), and the leopard, like a yellow lightning bolt, swept past him, its sharp claws slashing across his back, leaving a long, undulating line on the magical armor.

The polar bear swiftly turned and swung its axe, but the cat and leopard had already vanished.

A second "lightning bolt" swept past him again, and the audience gasped in surprise, because with just these two strikes, the polar bear's armor was broken, and the polar bear couldn't even touch a single hair on the cat or leopard.
