Hogwarts Summoning Guide

The Magic Zoo was even more popular this weekend than last week. The whole zoo was like a carnival, with signs for the animal arena, balloons, and magic fireworks everywhere. Many visitors dressed up as magical animals, knights, or ninjas to entertain themselves.

Patrice mobilized almost all the manpower from the family estate. He hated a certain manager who only appeared when checking accounts and distributing money, but it was clear that the Gallon he earned from the Beast Arena made him completely tolerate this.

The entire park was teeming with tourists, and fairy staff, elf food deliverymen, and giant security guards were constantly moving around. Children happily asked their parents to buy all sorts of novel meals and snacks to feed the animals. The parents generously spent their money, creating a scene of great joy and harmony.

In fact, Bai Lin had been personally at the gate since early morning, worried that Death Eaters, Spellbreakers, or members of the Hastur Church might sneak into the zoo.

He wasn't too worried about the Spellbreakers, because they couldn't pass through the two-way gate if they were carrying cipher equipment. But it wasn't entirely risk-free, though, because even if they brought in a bag of ordinary explosives, they could blow up the arena's stands.

The chances of them being Death Eaters are slim. They mainly operate in Britain, and before Voldemort is fully resurrected, most of them will remain law-abiding and in hiding.

The most terrifying thing is the members of the Hastur Order. They can be any Muggle or tourist, and even have the ability to control or hypnotize ordinary people. Although Lulu said that the evil spirit Gracuya is currently in America, as long as a guy like the Yellow Archbishop gets in, it will cause a big commotion.

The method for detecting the Hastur Cult is Bai Lin's eyes, because as long as he sees someone who is possessed, the system will automatically give him a prompt, which is equivalent to a free pair of eagle eyes.

The day passed peacefully, with only minor incidents caused by ordinary tourists. As darkness fell, most of the tourists who hadn't bought arena tickets had already left, since many mixed-race families could watch the television broadcast. (Pure-blood families are generally very resistant to electronics.)

Bai Lin had already ordered the zoo to only allow exits, not entry, but he couldn't be sure if the giant security guards understood. He could only send poor Youxi hiding in an inconspicuous thicket, keeping a close watch on the entrance and the small plaza, ready to notify Bai Lin at the slightest sign of trouble. After joining the team, Youxi also gained a copy of the encyclopedia system; whether it possessed the "eagle eye" ability, Bai Lin couldn't be sure.

Patrice was unaware of the security pressure Bai Lin was facing, and only blamed "Night Demon" for almost missing the competition. Bai Lin was too lazy to argue with him, after all, he had already made arrangements. He was the third to appear, so that the other challengers could warm up the atmosphere first.

This time, instead of waiting in the preparation room, he was pulled by Patrice to the side of the commentary booth. When he appeared wearing a hood and mask, the whole place erupted in a frenzy, as if they were seeing a star. Someone shouted, "Ninja!" and the audience joined in.

Bai Lin was speechless for a moment. He really wasn't a ninja. However, this misunderstanding couldn't be explained away, because Patrice had already sold a lot of ninja merchandise under the name of the zoo, and Bai Lin could also get a share of the profits.

The first to appear were the Twin Warriors and the Poison Leopard. The two boys, dressed in black robes, jumped out of the preparation room. Like Bai Lin, they also wore masks on their faces. However, while Bai Lin covered his nose and mouth, they covered their eyes, just like the old hero Zorro.

However, Bai Lin was immediately startled. These two were clearly acquaintances. Weren't they Ron's twin brothers, George and Fred?

The two were completely unaware of the danger of the challenge, and even proudly performed an awkward dance under the spotlight, which made the whole audience burst into laughter, and the atmosphere became even more lively.

"These two, play around as you please, but don't joke about real combat!" Bai Lin couldn't help but worry about them.

After the commentator introduced the challenger and the venomous leopard, the two brothers jumped off the challenge platform, which formed a grassland landscape where the most common African grass, the tufted grass, was as tall as their thighs.

George and Fred separated by ten feet. George first used his wand to cast a protective charm on himself, but who was the opponent anyway? It was always good to have some defense.

At the other end of the venue, a huge iron cabinet rose up, instead of the usual large iron cage. Last night, Bai Lin had been researching Guan Yu's information on the Poisonous Leopard. There was also a Poisonous Leopard in Newt's suitcase in Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, but it was only mentioned briefly and did not cause any major damage.

However, the venomous leopard still has a fearsome reputation, mainly because its huge venom sac on its neck stores a large amount of poisonous gas, which it can spray out with its breath or will. Simply put, it is highly toxic, fast-acting, and has a wide range.

Because of the poisonous gas, the only way to keep this creature is in a relatively enclosed iron cabinet. The iron cabinet has a special filtration device to ensure that the poisonous gas does not escape and that the venomous leopard inside does not suffocate.

As the cabinet slowly opened, the figure of a ferocious beast, yellowish-brown with a hint of green, appeared before everyone. It was fifteen feet long, about the size of a sphinx, and resembled a leopard in appearance, but with a huge venom sac on its neck covered with sharp spikes. From a distance, it looked somewhat like the mane of a lion.

At least thirty fairy mages stood around the area, staring intently at the venomous leopard, showing that Patrice also took the venomous leopard very seriously.

George and Fred exchanged a glance and then cast a head-bubble spell on themselves, instantly creating two large bubbles around their heads. This should help them resist the poison gas to some extent.

Instead of running away, the venomous leopard leaped onto the top of the large iron cabinet and roared at the audience in the stands. Its violent and cruel roar made many spectators swallow hard, wondering if the venomous leopard would run away.

Visible green mist emanated from the venomous leopard's mouth and nose. Patrice quickly spoke into the microphone, "Ladies and gentlemen, rest assured, we have reinforced the arena's protective barrier with dozens of wizards. The poison gas will not leak out. This is a juvenile venomous leopard, and the amount of poison gas is insufficient to fill the entire arena..."

Bai Lin's hand had already touched the hilt of the Jade-Handled Dragon's sword. If the Poison Leopard became out of control, he would teleport over immediately and give it a professional slide tackle.

However, Fred and George appeared excited, showing no fear and standing ready, as if victory was already in their grasp.
