Hogwarts Summoning Guide

Upon seeing Slytherin's locket, Dumbledore's glasses nearly fell off. It took him a few minutes to calm himself before he slumped heavily into his armchair, rubbing his forehead and saying, "That's right, it is indeed a Horcrux. It contains a fragment of a soul and is protected by powerful dark magic."

He paused, then said, "It's Tom Riddle's soul!"

Black grabbed the locket, about to smash it on the ground, but Dumbledore stopped him in time: "You'll only alert Voldemort! A special method is needed to destroy Horcruxes. If you destroy them carelessly, it might release the dark magic within, which is extremely dangerous!"

"Um, let me interject... I have a way to destroy it, provided you trust me and let me handle it..." Bai Lin said, pointing to the locket.

Dumbledore gave Bai Lin a deep look, rubbed his temples, and said, "Take it... If I'm not mistaken, this is the second Horcrux you've found!"

"Isn't weakening and eliminating Voldemort precisely the mission of the Order of the Phoenix? If he dares to resurrect and cause trouble, I won't tolerate it!" Bai Lin said with a touch of heroism.

Seeing his smug expression, Black imitated Dumbledore and rubbed his temples.

"Hey Blake! If you've got nothing better to do, why don't you help me out with something? I've seen you just lounging around the old house, not getting anything worthwhile done..."

"Get the hell away from me, I hate just looking at you!" Blake rejected him without hesitation.

"Damn it! Another failed attempt to recruit teammates..." Bai Lin glanced at You Qian, who had been following him but looked completely bewildered.

As Youxi watched Bai Lin put the locket into his pocket, her mind began to clear a little, and the expression on her face summed up in one sentence: Although she didn't understand what you were talking about at all, you seemed pretty impressive.

Bai Lin didn't care whether Voldemort and Harry were affected by the destruction of the Horcruxes; he simply handed the locket to Old Addison. As the locket disappeared into Old Addison's furnace, Bai Lin received a side quest notification:

Side Quest: Seven Deadly Sins (Completion Progress 37), grants 5 development points to this world, currently at 10 development points.

However, no contribution points are awarded, possibly because the current reward system has been transformed to combat the Church of Hastur.

"You're out of contribution points," Old Addison said, puffing on his pipe and exhaling a smoke ring from the portrait. "But you can buy one on credit. This pendant will have a tiny bit of gold and mithril after it's melted down."

Bai Lin thought for a moment and said, "I want to make an item that helps with mana regeneration!" Since gaining the ability to cast spells without a staff, the only thing that limits Bai Lin's output ability is the ability to regenerate mana.

"No problem, 300 points will be deducted directly after you earn contribution points." Old Addison tapped his pipe on the table next to him and emptied the ashes.

Looking at old Addison's appearance, Bai Lin suddenly felt as if he were a living person living in a painting.

Yuxi watched Bai Lin and Addison's transaction with great curiosity. She had seen too many novel things in the past few days, and a moving painting was nothing out of the ordinary to her.

Surprisingly, Blake didn't leave, but waited for him in front of the castle gate, holding a flying broom in his hand.

"You asked me to help you, but who are you fighting against?" Blake asked gravely.

"Another demon king... Voldemort might not be such a big threat compared to him..." Bai Lin said, "You might not believe what I'm saying... but I have a feeling he'll make a big splash soon."

'

"After Voldemort is completely dealt with... I will join!" Black said earnestly.

"Some of the Horcruxes Voldemort hid are cursed. If you have any information about the location of other Horcruxes, don't handle them alone... Be careful, Black. I think we'll be good comrades!" Bai Lin drew a line across his brow with his finger and then squeezed Yuxi and Finis's hands.

The three figures appeared directly on Charles Street. Yuxi, recalling the scene of being attacked by the waiter last time, actually used shapeshifting magic to change her face in front of Bai Lin.

"What is this?" Bai Lin was stunned for a moment. This magic was too convenient!

Yuuki smiled and said, "I haven't had a chance to tell you yet, Captain! I'm a disguised Manis!"

Bai Lin suddenly realized that Lupin's wife, Tonks, was a Mannis of Disguise. This ability allowed her to precisely control facial transformations, not only changing her appearance to resemble other people but also to transform into the faces of magical creatures.

"Ah, this is an extremely rare ability! It seems I've struck gold!" Bai Lin looked at You Qian, who had become somewhat like a Germanic, and couldn't help but marvel.

"Hopefully, this will be of some use to our team!" Yuxi said, blushing slightly after being praised by Bai Lin.

As they walked and talked, Bai Lin casually bought a copy of the Prophet's Daily. Sure enough, it had already published this week's announcement for the Beast Arena. Ironically, right below this announcement were various criticisms of the Beast Arena by a certain commentator. Bai Lin completely ignored these criticisms, as they would only increase the arena's popularity, essentially making it a free loss.

This week's three beasts have been determined through a "vote": the Venomous Leopard, Og, and the Thunderbird.

The venomous leopard is a wild animal native to East Africa, similar to a leopard, and considered one of the most dangerous creatures in the world. It is enormous but moves silently. Its breath is highly toxic and can cause fatal diseases, enough to destroy an entire village. The venomous leopard is very difficult to subdue; one adult venomous leopard once single-handedly fought against one hundred wizard hunters.

Orgrimmar: A hybrid monster of giant and troll, possessing a giant's body, a huge single eye, and protruding horns. They are incredibly strong and often enter a frenzied state when hungry, tearing any creature in their path to shreds. Orgrimmar's skin has strong magic resistance; may our warriors have good luck.

Thunderbird: A mythical bird native to Arizona, USA, known for its enormous size and ability to summon storms and lightning when it flaps its wings. Close relatives of the phoenix, they possess exceptional magical resistance. Thunderbird feathers are often used as wand cores.

"Wow! They actually found a Thunderbird! That's an extremely rare creature!" Bai Lin clicked his tongue in amazement. "Almost as rare as a phoenix. Patrice really went all out this time!"

"All the comments below are against adding the Thunderbird as a ferocious beast to the arena!" Yuxi moved closer to Bai Lin and looked at the newspaper with him.

"Thunderbirds generally don't attack humans unless provoked, and they certainly don't eat human flesh. I actually quite like these creatures," Bai Lin said.

Below the description of the ferocious beast are photos of the silhouettes of the three challengers and their nicknames: Night Demon, Twin Warriors, and Deadly Cowboy.

Needless to say, Night Demon is another story. The Twin Warriors are actually a pair of twin boys (which is practically a boy band), while Deadly Cowboy is a burly man wearing a cowboy hat who looks quite imposing.

"I think the captain can bet on Night Demon to win! He was so strong last week!" Yuxi said, pointing to the first silhouette.

"Um, actually I am the Night Demon, you can bet on me to win..."
