Hogwarts Summoning Guide

In the end, Bai Lin only circled around the entrance of the Lestrange family's vault, allowing Youxi to take pictures of many details of the vault in preparation for retrieving the Golden Cup later.

Although Whitescale had a red-eyed Niffler, slaying the dragon and smashing the door was clearly not a good option at this time. In the original story, Harry eventually managed to sneak in using Polyjuice Potion and destroyed the Golden Cup with his snake fangs.

Bai Lin isn't in a rush to get to that point yet. The original protagonist had everything he possessed, and the author set it up so he could destroy Horcruxes with whatever he wanted. He didn't have such good treatment. If he got his hands on something early, he'd only be able to send it to Old Addison to be made into magical equipment. He felt it wasn't worth risking being accused of robbing Gringotts for a piece of equipment. He had his own plans.

Mugur collected the fragments of his arm on the ground. Bai Lin hadn't used irreversible black magic, so Mugur still had a good chance of "splitting" his hand back together. However, it was hard to guarantee that he would be able to cast spells so smoothly in the future. This was Bai Lin's punishment for him using black magic against him multiple times.

With the videotape in hand, Bai Lin could send Muguer to jail at any time. Muguer dared not make any more moves. He endured the pain and led the three of them back to the bank's office before disappearing without a trace.

After careful consideration, Bai Lin felt that he was still in the "startup phase," so he rented a small, economical vault, similar to the one Harry's parents had, which only required 10 Galleons in maintenance fees per year.

Holding the videotape, Bai Lin was overjoyed. He planned to find a place to copy the part where Mugur confessed to Malfoy, so that when Voldemort was resurrected, he could squeeze a lot of money out of the Malfoy family. After all, wasn't robbing the rich to help the poor what a wandering knight in the chaotic good camp should do?

Bai Lin, along with Youxi and Finis, had a good meal at the Broken Cauldron Bar. Just then, a note appeared out of thin air in front of him, and the system also sent a notification.

Lulu was naturally the one who would write him a note. Come to think of it, he actually missed his cheap cousin a little. He snatched the note, opened it, and saw that it was written by Kaka:

To Kaelin, I've tracked Grindelwald (the evil spirit Gracusia) to Los Angeles. The American Ministry of Magic has launched a manhunt for him, and he's currently vanished. We'll be staying for a while longer. See you at the World Cup opening ceremony. Don't worry. Kaka.

Bai Lin thought to himself: Kaka went to the United States with Lulu for a concert, and apparently he also accomplished something big along the way. On the other hand, I not only fell into the Lawbreaker's trap but almost became a prisoner. I seem quite pathetic. Besides, if I were to choose someone, I'd choose my pretty cousin, not this sissy.

He put the note away and clicked on the prompt in the summoning encyclopedia:

The analysis of ancient civilization technology data has been completed, and remote equipment customization and cryptic technology access have been enabled.

Bai Lin noticed that the encyclopedia screen had one or two more options, just like a smartphone having two more apps.

The first is equipment customization. From now on, you can customize equipment with contribution points without returning to Hogwarts, which is much more convenient. However, you still have to pick up the equipment in person after it is crafted.

The second option is to access the cryptic technology database. Upon opening it, you'll find a jumbled mess of cryptic characters. Zooming in reveals a vast ancient technological system, and the hundreds of characters you copied from the pyramids represent only a small fraction of it.

Currently, some rune combinations have been analyzed and can be exchanged using contribution points. These are "Magic Resistance Rune" and "Divine Edge Rune". The effect is to etch runes onto armor to increase magic resistance and to etch runes onto melee weapons to increase sharpness. In a sense, these are enchantment effects.

The runes, after being analyzed by the system, no longer have an absolute aversion to magical energy. This means that there won't be a situation where Bai Lin can't use magic like teleportation after adding runes to armor or weapons. This is exactly the result Bai Lin needs.

The final note on the Mystic Technique states: "Refining Mystic equipment will help decipher more Mystic runes." In other words, simply giving the Spellbreakers' weapons to Old Addison will unlock new Mystic runes. Bai Lin is quite looking forward to creating equipment that grants immunity to magic, so he can fight Voldemort without restraint, no longer constantly threatened by the Killing Curse.

He glanced at the 300 contribution points he'd gained from killing the Yellow-Robed Bishop, which he could just exchange for a Divine Edge Rune. The Magic Resistance Rune (LV1) only increased magic resistance by 5, barely worth anything, and cost a hefty 500 contribution points. However, he also understood the value of magic resistance. His magic hat and leather armor already gave him 35 magic resistance. If he could equip a full set of gear with magic resistance runes, even if he wasn't immune to magic, he'd likely avoid being instantly killed by the Killing Curse.

After exchanging for a Divine Edge Secret Rune, a silver metal block, barely larger than a fingernail, appeared in his hand. It felt soft to the touch. He used it directly on the Jade Dragon Sword. The metal block flowed over like "venom" and soon merged into the sword's blade. After a while, the Jade Dragon Sword emitted a faint blue light, and pale blue runes appeared on the sword's body.

Bai Lin was immediately eager to try, looking forward to the next beast duel. He wondered what strange magical creatures Patrice would bring in this time, and believed that after last week's "losses," he would definitely increase the difficulty significantly.

Before they had finished eating, an owl suddenly flew into the bar and landed on Bai Lin's table, almost knocking over all the plates.

Bai Lin quickly stretched out his arm, and thanks to his neutral creature affinity, the owl jumped onto his arm as if it had met an acquaintance. Bai Lin scratched the owl's head, and the owl squinted and quieted down.

The owl, with a brass ring bearing the Ministry of Magic's insignia on its leg, delivered a letter. Bai Lin opened it and found it was from Fudge, a lengthy, full-page letter, almost entirely filled with complaints about Bai Lin, giving Bai Lin the feeling of looking at his own online forum.

In short: You're a Ministry of Magic employee, it's impossible for you to do nothing and collect a salary without doing your job. Starting today, you're suspended from pay.

Bai Lin scratched the back of his head, thinking: I may not have produced any results for the Ministry of Magic, but I have been fighting against the enemy of mankind and the end of the world. How can I be called receiving a salary without working?

Although he no longer cared about the 100 Gallon monthly salary, it was a matter of identity; after all, using someone else's identity to swindle was more convincing. Without this identity, many things would be much more difficult.

Bai Lin quickly wrote a reply to Fuji, expressing that he deeply realized his mistake and that he would be given any task he was given, assuring him that he would complete it perfectly.

I fed the owl some chicken and slipped the reply into the envelope on its leg.

Bai Lin took a sip of his butterbeer, stood up, and said, "Phineas, take us to Grimmauld Place! I need to recruit a third member!"
