Hogwarts Summoning Guide

Bai Linshuo said: Read this book!

"It might be related to the Sun family tragedy. Let the forensic team handle the wine matter. We'll go to Keyun Lake!" Yan Nishuang said decisively. Elder Zong nodded, and Yan Nishuang grabbed the teleportation talisman that lit up with pale gold again in front of Bai Lin.

After working for most of the day, it was already dark outside. As soon as his feet touched the ground, Bai Lin felt a cold wind blowing towards him from the lake.

"Kerry!" Youxi's voice came from the side. Bai Lin looked closely and saw that they had been teleported to a small viewing platform by the lake. Huang Chenghua, Zhao Yu, Youxi, and others were not far away. Yan Nishuang must have been teleported here according to the location given by Huang Chenghua. At the same time, six more members of the Execution Department teleported over and stood next to Huang Chenghua. They should all be his teammates.

When Youxi saw Yan Nishuang holding Bai Lin's hand, her surprise turned into disappointment. Yan Nishuang noticed this as well, but she smiled at Youxi and took the initiative to let go of Bai Lin's hand.

Youxi quickly rushed to Bai Lin's side and hugged him tightly, as if afraid he would be snatched away. Bai Lin affectionately stroked her hair and turned his gaze to the distant lake.

Yunhu Lake is long and narrow, with its narrowest point being more than six kilometers wide. This is where it is relatively wide. The opposite shore is more than ten kilometers away, and you can only see some mountain peaks. The lake is as wide as the sea, so it is also called Yeyuhai.

It was already dark, and the sky was covered with dark clouds. Anyone could see that there was a big problem on the lake in the distance.

A dark shape appeared on the lake's surface, its form unclear as it was enveloped by a thick fog that swirled and spread outwards like a vortex, likely reaching the shore soon.

"This aura!" Elder Zong, leaning on the railing, said gravely, "It seems to be demonic energy!"

"What kind of qi?" Bai Lin was taken aback when he heard a new term from Elder Zong.

"It's what European wizards call the Obscurus," Yan Nishuang explained, turning her head to share her knowledge.

"Isn't the Silent One like a black magic tornado?" Bai Lin asked curiously.

Yan Nishuang patiently explained, "There are many forms of inner demon energy. Most of them are not under the control of the host and break free like a gust of wind with great destructive power. However, some hosts are fortunate enough to obtain a way to control inner demon energy and become demons. In Europe, they are called the Silent Ones in a more artistic way."

"Judging from this scene, this inner demon energy must be quite powerful, right?" Bai Lin decided to communicate with them using the Eastern terminology.

"A once-in-a-century occurrence. If it has become a demon, it will surely become a scourge to the region!" As Elder Zong spoke, he suddenly took out a piece of pure white paper from his bosom and threw it into the air. The paper transformed into a square eagle-shaped kite, which flew in the wind. Elder Zong jumped onto the kite, just like a European wizard riding a flying broom. This was Elder Zong's flying tool.

Yan Nishuang followed closely behind, without calling out to Bai Lin. She took out a piece of jade paper from her small leather bag, transformed it into a crane-shaped kite, and stood on it. But when she looked back, Huang Chenghua and his teammates obediently stomped their feet and immediately picked up flying brooms. Bai Lin couldn't help but feel a little amused, but after thinking about it, he understood. These flying kites must require a lot of magical power to create. Ordinary mages would definitely have to choose the flying brooms popular in the West or the flying carpets popular in West Asia for easier flight. These things are magical industrial products that can be mass-produced and do not have high requirements for users.

"We're going to investigate. You don't have wands, so stay here and don't move!" Yan Nishuang said with some concern as she turned around. With that, the group flew up and headed into the depths of the thick fog.

"Uh, Captain, we can't use the flying brooms, so we're just going to stand here and watch?" Zhuo Bi said, spreading his hands.

"Did you bring a spare wand?" Bai Lin asked in a low voice.

"How could I not prepare? After that trip to Egypt, how could I not be prepared?" Zobi had experienced the frustration of not having a wand in his hand, a memory he couldn't bear to recall.

Zhao Yu timidly said from the side, "Brother Linzi, this isn't really in accordance with the rules..."

Bai Lin ignored him, took out Qi Qi's curved sword from the encyclopedia space, tossed it to Qi Qi who was rubbing her hands together in anticipation, and said, "Everyone, prepare for battle. Let the law enforcement bureau scout ahead first. If needed, we'll lend a hand."

Bai Lin looked towards the center of Cloud Lake. Yan Nishuang and Elder Zong had already led the mages from the Enforcement Department into the thick fog and disappeared in the blink of an eye. But soon, Elder Zong's voice could be heard: "The clouds have parted, and the sun is shining!"

As the elder's voice rang out, it was as if a door had been opened in the thick fog. The elder's magic manipulated a wisp of air, like a pair of giant hands, forcefully opening a passage through the fog. Even Bai Lin could see the dark shadow in the center of the lake through that passage. It was clearly a luxury cruise ship that was at least eighty meters long, but at this moment the cruise ship was pitch black, without a single light.

However, as the passageway opened, a dark shadow shot out from the cruise ship, heading straight for Elder Zong in the air.

"Grandpa Zong, be careful!" Yan Nishuang shouted. "Golden Bell Protection!" She drew a line in the air with her jade pen, and a large bell made of faint golden light appeared in front of Grandpa Zong. The bell was covered with runes and looked heavy and solemn.

Who knew that when the dark figure was less than fifty meters away from everyone, it suddenly split into dozens of black arrows, which flew in all directions, covering everyone in the Execution Department within the attack range.

"Watch out, it's Shadow Serpent Arrow!" Yan Nishuang's expression changed drastically. She held her jade pen horizontally in front of her, creating a shield in front of her. The other members of the Execution Department also used protective magic.

Bai Lin heard Yan Nishuang's voice from afar. He didn't know what "Snake Shadow Arrow" was, but he quickly understood. The dozens of black arrows seemed to have come to life. Instead of directly piercing their shields, they slithered along the outer edge of the shields like snakes after hitting them, circling around the edge.

"A mere trick!" While Huang Chenghua and several other mages were in a flurry of activity, Elder Zong snorted coldly, waving his hands to the sides. He was already holding a very retro-style whisk. The older generation of Eastern mages used many different types of weapons to gather magical power, which were actually only different in appearance. The younger mages, however, had been deeply influenced by Western culture and had begun to use wands, which were more stable and easier to make.

The elder's whisk emitted a light green energy, like a magical vine. In an instant, it multiplied into three, then ten, instantly protecting all the executive department personnel within the vine. The small black snake tried to climb the vine, but was quickly dissolved by it.

"Wow, that's an amazing move!" Zhuo Bi exclaimed.

Bai Lin nodded in approval of Elder Zong's strength. Elder Zong was already able to cast such wide-range spells silently, which meant that Bai Lin could no longer learn them by stealing their techniques.

"Go!" Elder Zong stepped on the kite, which accelerated instantly. However, Elder Zong's foot seemed to be glued to the kite, and he did not lean backward due to inertia, which amazed Bai Lin.

Elder Zong took the lead and flew onto the cruise ship in the blink of an eye, coldly shouting, "Where did these crooked sects come from, causing trouble here?"

Yan Nishuang arrived shortly after, but just as Bai Lin was about to see if anyone had come out of the boat, the fog-free passage that had been opened up by the Elder's magic was instantly swept away by the thick fog on both sides. Soon, the entire lake surface in front of him was shrouded in thick fog.

"Watch out, something's coming!" The mages in the center of the lake had clearly encountered a mysterious enemy, while Bai Lin, far away on the shore, also sensed something rapidly approaching.

"Qiqi, protect Zhao Yu!" Bai Lin glanced at his little cousin behind him and said to Qiqi.

"I don't need a little sister to protect me!" Zhao Yu retorted immediately, then reached into his pocket and pulled out a pistol.

Before he could even check the bullets, a huge head, as big as a Volkswagen Beetle, suddenly burst out of the thick fog, its gaping maw aimed straight at Zhao Yu.

Zhao Yu stared at the enormous mouth filled with cone-shaped teeth, and her legs went weak with fear; she almost collapsed to the ground.

At the crucial moment, a strange curved blade nearly a meter long slashed down from the side, striking the side of the enormous head. It was Kiki who had leaped in. A large piece of scale was instantly cleaved off the side of the monster's mouth, along with several broken teeth. The monster, in pain, swooped down and its massive head disappeared back into the thick fog.

"It's a giant snake!" Qiqi exclaimed, gripping her curved sword and standing in front of Zhao Yu. Zhao Yu was stunned by Qiqi's heroic demeanor. He never expected that the seemingly frail alien girl who always followed his cousin was actually a master swordsman.

The reason why Kiki's scimitar is considered strange is because it has been blessed with divine runes, and many dark patterns like water ripples have appeared on it. It is similar to the world-famous Damascus steel sword, which is both tough and sharp, which is why it was able to wound the monster with one strike.

Bai Lin also saw the monster's long figure in the mist, which did indeed resemble a large snake swimming in the mist.

"Watch this!" Zhuo Bi was eager to show off, so he shouted, "Spatial Mirror Shot!"

With a wave of his wand, a huge spatial mirror appeared behind everyone, reflecting the mist on the entire lake.

Bai Lin was taken aback, but he quickly realized the function of the spatial mirror. In the reflection of the mirror, he could see a giant snake shadow, at least forty or fifty meters long, swimming in the mist, looking for an opportunity to attack them.

Seeing the location, Bai Lin was no longer worried about the monster suddenly appearing, and his confidence soared. He raised his hands above his head and shouted, "Shadow Arrow Rain!"

A ball of shadow energy condensed between his palms, instantly forming an energy sphere. He aimed the energy sphere at the giant snake shadow in the mist, and hundreds of shadow arrows shot out from the energy sphere, faster than his previous attacks.

Bai Lin held the energy ball as if he were wielding a Vulcan rifle, and fired it into the dense fog where visibility was only four or five meters.

But the enormous snake shadow did not retreat but advanced, dodging most of the shadow arrows with a few movements, and approached Bai Lin.

With the "Fist of Orgrimmar" in his body, Bai Lin was not afraid of the monster getting close at all, and even waited for the opportunity to throw a punch. However, the monster was hit by more than ten shadow arrows, but it did not move at all and kept swimming over. Just as Bai Lin was about to dodge and throw a punch, the monster's huge head suddenly stopped.

As Bai Lin was taken aback, a burst of electric sparks flashed from the monster's enormous head.

"Holy crap! It's not a snake! It's an electric eel!" As soon as Bai Lin finished speaking, several thick, light blue bolts of lightning struck from the thick fog.

At the critical moment, Bai Lin grabbed You Qian and teleported backward, while Qi Qi grabbed Zhao Yu by the collar and threw him far away. Her scimitar slammed heavily into the platform ground as she quickly dodged away. Meanwhile, Zhuo Bi on the other side instantly erected a spatial barrier shield.

"Boom!" Lightning struck the platform like several air-to-ground missiles. Although it did not directly hit any of the team members, the violent explosion blasted Kiki away. This was only because her scimitar had attracted most of the lightning.

Zhuo Biying withstood a bolt of lightning, the immense pressure forcing him to kneel. Although he blocked the lightning, the viewing platform near Yunhu Lake was struck and collapsed. Zhuo Biying lost his footing and sank into the collapsing platform.

On the other side, Yan Nishuang also landed on the deck of the cruise ship, only to see a figure sitting in a dark corner near the command cabin, trembling as if having an epileptic seizure.

"Don't come near him, he's a heretical demon!" Elder Zong warned.

Yan Nishuang certainly wouldn't be foolish enough to rush over, but instead maintained a defensive stance, ready to unleash defensive spells at any moment.

The figure trembled for a while, then suddenly stopped, as if he had died. However, Yan Nishuang clearly sensed that he was not only not dead, but was undergoing some strange change.

"This inner demonic energy... is probably already at the level of a demon king..." Elder Zong murmured.

Just then, the figure suddenly twisted in an extremely strange way. Its head seemed to be able to rotate 360 ​​degrees, and its limbs could also move freely in the opposite direction. It seemed to be looking at Elder Zong and Yan Nishuang, as if it was sizing them up. However, less than two seconds later, it suddenly let out an extremely sharp, eerie laugh, or rather, a ghostly wail.

Yan Nishuang was staring intently at him, but he suddenly vanished into thin air without warning. By the time she realized what was happening, the dark figure had already appeared behind Elder Zong, and many long, sharp spikes suddenly sprouted from his hair, piercing towards Elder Zong's head.

Elder Zong and Yan Nishuang noticed something amiss behind them almost simultaneously. Regardless of whether it was proper for a senior to act, they lunged forward, rolled on the spot, and looked back. The sharp spikes on the black figure's hair were like dozens of giant axes, slamming heavily onto the deck and piercing through it. The power was so great that even a Transformer would be riddled with holes, let alone a human.

In the dim light, Yan Nishuang finally made out the other person's figure. It was clearly a boy of twelve or thirteen years old, but his face was now unrecognizable. His eyes had no whites, and they were completely black. His bare arms were covered with strange patterns, like tattoos. His hair seemed to have come alive, like that of a Gorgon from legend.

Elder Zong quickly turned over and got up. He didn't look like an eighty or ninety-year-old man at all, nor was he the faltering and hunched-over man that Bai Lin had first seen. Instead, he seemed to have suddenly become decades younger, and his movements were extremely agile.
