Hogwarts Summoning Guide
Chapter 136 Opening Ceremony
"If it were anyone else talking to me like that, I would have shot them dead!" Caesar's hoarse voice came from inside.
Bai Lin was quite anxious. Caesar had actually come in person. The battle with Caesar in Cairo that day was still vivid in his mind. Even now, Bai Lin still dared not say that he could definitely defeat him, not to mention that Caesar must have brought a lot of helpers with him.
From inside the tent, Kiki said, "Give me the gun, I'm leaving right now!"
Caesar chuckled for a long time, as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world: "Kiki, who do you think you are? The Elders? Saladin? What right do you have to make such a request of me?"
At this moment, another young male voice said, "All the runic firearms are the collective wealth of the Spellbreakers. Each one has undergone more than ten years of effort by the Inscription Elders. We can't possibly hand them over to a traitor like you! Get out of here! Every second you stay in the golden-topped tent is an insult to the Spellbreaker Association!"
"Don't get excited, Andyeb," Caesar said. "Although I certainly won't give you the Serpent Fang (which should be the Secret 98K), I'm still a little curious why you need it. Did you encounter that dark wizard who almost captured you?" He was probably referring to Bai Lin.
"It's an evil spirit!" Kiki said in a low voice, her voice filled with fear and exhaustion, probably from dreaming about the Church of Hastur. "The evil spirit has already arrived in France and has killed many people at the zoo on Charles Street."
"Don't tell me any myths about evil spirits that followed shooting stars to Earth. Even if they exist, it's fine; he's attacking those disgusting freaks!" Caesar said, seemingly quite pleased.
Kiki said angrily, "Caesar! You've been blinded by power! You're no longer the older brother I used to know! Your actions have forgotten the original purpose of the Lawbreakers; you're indiscriminately killing innocent people!"
"Insolence!" Andieb roared, "Admiral Caesar will not tolerate the slander of a traitor like you! We came all this way because we received news that the Black Wizard was going to attack this place!"
"Admiral?" Qiqi suddenly laughed. "You gave yourself that title? Are you going to be the emperor next?"
"You've gone too far, Andieb. Take her down. You've already let her know about our plan. We can't let her tell anyone!" Caesar said coldly.
Then the sounds of fighting came from inside the tent. Bai Lin thought that with Qi Qi's skills, she shouldn't be at too much of a disadvantage, but he heard a strange metallic sound, followed by Qi Qi's scream.
Caesar said, "Do you think your few rudimentary skills will allow you to move freely among us? The Spellbreakers can recoup their investment in you at any time, including your legs! I hope you think this through!"
Bai Lin immediately understood. Just now, Andyeb had used some tool to directly dismantle Qiqi's mechanical prosthetic limb. With only one leg, how could Qiqi possibly defeat him? However, judging from Caesar's words, it seemed he still wanted to win Qiqi back. Perhaps he still had some familial affection for her, or perhaps he didn't want to lose an assassin he had trained for so many years for nothing.
Bai Lin silently retreated from the tent, his heart filled with hesitation. If he charged in directly, even if he could win, his dark magic alone could easily make him the same dark wizard who attacked the Muggle district. And if he reported this to the Aurors, they'd ask, "Do you have any evidence?" Bai Lin was speechless.
However, listen to Andy Yeb.
It seems they've come for the Death Eaters' actions, which is quite interesting. Could these two groups of "villains" actually fight each other? Bai Lin thought about it and decided it was best not to alert them.
Back in Black's tent, Zobi and Yuxi brought news that Lucius Malfoy had appeared and met with several mysterious people, including a wizard skilled in secret magic. Zobi and Yuxi were unable to uncover any concrete plans from them.
Harry, Barty, and his friends didn't find Barty either, but they did find several vendors selling contraband drugs. Lupin turned them over to an Auror, who Harry said was a female Auror with purplish-red hair. Bai Lin couldn't help but slap his thigh and exclaim, "What a coincidence!"
"Get a good night's sleep." There's no point in making any more wild guesses. Bai Lin glanced at his pocket watch; it was already two in the morning. He urged everyone to go and rest, knowing that tomorrow would definitely not be an easy day.
The next day, the Quidditch World Cup opening ceremony started on time, and Bai Lin met Lulu, who was late. It turned out that she was a guest performer at the opening ceremony. Bai Lin was absolutely amazed when he saw her backstage.
Lulu wore a gown that resembled a burning flame, and her signature long red hair was styled in an elegant and fashionable way.
Lulu gave Bai Lin a big hug. "Did you miss me, cousin?" Lulu asked playfully.
As his cousin, Bai Lin always felt that Lulu was teasing him, but he still patted her back affectionately and said, "In the future, if there are any dangerous operations, don't face them alone. I can protect you if I'm by your side."
Lulu released her grip, nodded to Bai Lin, and said, "Okay, Captain! From now on, I'll be your teammate!"
With Lulu joining, Bai Lin's team was successfully established. Each member received 200 contribution points and a team channel, allowing Bai Lin to finally communicate remotely with his team members.
Hagrid, far away at Hogwarts, was startled by the system page that suddenly popped up, but he didn't even look at it and casually closed the page to continue feeding his Blasttail.
"I'm going on stage now, let's talk after the match!" Lulu glanced at the clock hanging on the makeup artist's wall.
Bai Lin nodded and went to Black's box, where he was surprised to see Hermione. However, it seemed that Ron's family had bought tickets for the finals and had not come to watch the opening ceremony.
"Professor..." Hermione said with a hint of resentment, "I arrived at Charles Street too late..." She had told Bai Lin that she was going to France to see him, but it seemed she had just missed it. However, Bai Lin was quite glad that she hadn't shown up on the day of the attack, otherwise she might have been injured.
Bai Lin patted her head, and Hermione blushed slightly.
After a passionate speech by British Minister of Magic Fudge, Lulu and another guest performer took to the stage to sing, but the main focus of the World Cup was still the teams. The opening ceremony briefly introduced the participating teams before the exciting first match began.
Host nation England vs. Transylvania.
As the host nation, England had the advantage of playing at home and receiving the support of the vast majority of the audience. Transylvania, on the other hand, was just a little-known region in Romania, a small principality in ancient times. If Hermione hadn't provided timely information, Bai Lin wouldn't have known where Transylvania was.
