Hogwarts Summoning Guide

Wenyuan Pavilion is located in the capital of the Eastern Kingdom, hidden in a mysterious place. Entry and exit require strict screening and special devices. Not to mention the international community, even graduates who have studied there for seven years do not know the exact location of the school.

During the war years, many hostile countries launched a high degree of infiltration and deliberate sabotage against Wenyuan Pavilion, attempting to destroy this highest magic academy in the East and stifle the birth of new Eastern magicians. After countless life-and-death battles, Wenyuan Pavilion was still preserved, but it was much smaller in scale, and its location became the top secret in the East.

This is similar to Durmstrang, whose exact location is also unknown, and even which country he is in is unknown.

Wenyuan Pavilion admits about a hundred students each year, with a total of just over a thousand. In the vast East, it is already extremely rare for a city to have two or three young sorcerers who can study at Wenyuan Pavilion. Moreover, some families with magical arts tend to monopolize some of the spots, resulting in fewer than 60 students being allocated to the general public each year. Under such circumstances, for a small town in the southwest to have two children admitted to Wenyuan Pavilion is newsworthy in the magical arts world, equivalent to the top scorers in the provincial college entrance examination for both arts and sciences coming from the same small town.

While there was no witch-slaying movement like in Europe in Eastern history, there has always been a very strict management system. Sorcerers generally do not participate in the lives and struggles of ordinary people, maintaining a relatively detached position. However, many ordinary people, although they have never seen a sorcerer perform a spell, are aware of the sorcerer's existence.

Once a wicked sorcerer commits evil deeds, the official sorcerer institutions in the East will launch a very strict crackdown on him. Moreover, there is no Azkaban like in Europe in the East, and the punishment for evil sorcerers is usually the death penalty. For sorcerers, whose lifespan is already far longer than that of ordinary people and who could easily live a much better life than ordinary people, the deterrent effect is even greater than that of Azkaban.

At the age of 11, Bai Lin was found by the admissions teacher of Wenyuan Pavilion under such circumstances and brought to the capital. As for why the admissions teacher chose Bai Lin, whose magical power was very low, the reason is unknown. Perhaps it was because they detected his other talents.

Bai Lin, who entered the Wenyuan Pavilion, was independent. Although he found learning magic too difficult and was ridiculed, isolated, and even bullied by many classmates, he refused to let Yan Nishuang, who was almost the opposite of him, provide him with protection.

Yan Nishuang is a recognized magical genius in Wenyuan Pavilion, and it is necessary to mention the curriculum of Wenyuan Pavilion here.

Because of the great cultural integration at the end of the 20th century, Wenyuan Pavilion also fully adopted the universal magic system. In other words, whether it is Hogwarts, Beauxbatons, Durmstrang, Wenyuan Pavilion, or even Atsuta Shrine in Japan, most of the courses taught are similar. The main differences lie in the history of magic, language subjects, and some special courses.

For example, Hogwarts offers Black Magic and Magical Creatures Protection, Durmstrang's Dark Arts, and Wenyuan Pavilion offers Taoist Magic and Talismans. Among all these special courses, Wenyuan Pavilion's Taoist Magic and Talismans is universally recognized as the most difficult. Even among the most outstanding students in Wenyuan Pavilion, only a very small number can master it.

Yan Nishuang was the genius among geniuses, completing the Taoist Talisman course assessment with almost perfect scores and winning the magical weapon—the Dragon Beard Jade Brush—officially gifted by the Wenyuan Pavilion.

Back then, Xiao Bailin, who was a poor student, knew nothing about Taoist magic and talismans. He only did very well in the "Fantastic Beasts Research" course, so he became a magical beast researcher after graduation (in fact, he was unemployed when Fudge found him).

According to Yan Nishuang, Xiao Bailin's study experience at Wenyuange was not pleasant. He didn't even have a single good friend. His teachers thought he was dragging the class down, and his classmates thought he was too bad at studying and not good at speaking. They laughed at him, saying that hard work couldn't make up for his shortcomings. He was even bullied by older students.

As Bai Lin listened to Yan Nishuang's account, he knew that she must have helped him a lot back then, standing up for him in front of many students who bullied him. However, Yan Nishuang certainly wouldn't take credit at this time.

The worst time Xiao Bailin was bullied was when several older students tied him up with magical ropes and forced him to drink "Truth or Dare" (also known as "Truth Potion"). In his half-asleep state, he answered many embarrassing questions, including the marriage agreement between his family and Yan Nishuang's family.

In less than half a day, this big gossip spread throughout the entire Wenyuan Pavilion. In an instant, Xiao Bailin became the public enemy of the whole school. No one cared about the bullying and insults he suffered. Everyone was discussing the inequality of this marriage. Just as Huang Chenghua said, the men who admired Yan Nishuang could line up around Yunhu Lake.

His life thereafter was predictable; he was targeted at every turn, and everyone came to pick a fight with him. It's safe to say that he never ate a meal in peace and quiet. This environment made Xiao Bailin even more withdrawn and depressed.

Yan Nishuang's description was rather vague, but Bai Lin was already a grown man, and she could easily imagine the situation from her casual remark.

Bai Lin gradually understood why, after graduation, when Fudge found him, he went to England without hesitation, without even informing Yan Nishuang, which led to his transmigration and fusion with the world.

"Sister Ni Shuang... thank you. I know you've protected me many times..." Bai Lin said softly.

"Ah no, it's because you're very strong, never willing to give in or give up. It's because of your strength that I..." Yan Nishuang blurted out.

"What?" Bai Lin quickly asked.

"Uh, it's nothing..." Yan Nishuang's cheeks suddenly flushed red, as if she had thought of something very embarrassing.

The two chatted for several hours. By then, it was already dark. However, Yan Nishuang cast a spell similar to a small barrier, so they didn't have to worry about their quiet conversation being heard by the Sun family cemetery on the opposite mountain, nor did they have to worry about the winter cold. Bai Lin even took out some food and drinks to share with Yan Nishuang.

"Did you bring this back from England?" Yan Nishuang asked as she ate the bread with ham that Bai Lin handed her.

"Well, my experiences over there were quite bizarre. Fudge... oh, you know, the current Minister of Magic of the United Kingdom, he said I'm a member of an ancient, non-lineal family—the Seekers family. This family is very powerful, and they gave me a house-elf to be my butler... By the way, I also opened a small shop at the Magical Zoo in France, mainly just repackaging Sichuan cuisine and selling it to foreigners, haha..." Bai Lin didn't answer Yan Nishuang's question, but instead told her about his experiences.

"I gave all the Sichuan dishes a fitting name. For example, spicy chicken is called 'The Roar of the Fire Dragon,' mapo tofu is called 'The Temptation of the Mermaid,' and spicy blood curd is called 'The Vampire Feast'... They sold very well, and I made a lot of money!" Bai Lin said, pretending to boast.

Yan Nishuang chuckled, her suppressed expression finally relaxing a bit, making her even more beautiful and charming. She glanced at Bai Lin and said, "It really is the kind of wicked idea you could come up with."

"Hehe, if I could, I'd like to carry Chinese food with me, but this stuff is easier to preserve," Bai Lin said, shrugging as he ate a sandwich.

Yan Nishuang glanced at Bai Lin and unceremoniously finished the sandwich in her hand.

The moon was high in the sky, and the two had been waiting for more than ten hours, but they didn't feel bored at all. Instead, they felt a sense of "rare opportunity to be alone". They avoided talking about their feelings and mostly talked about funny things that happened in their childhood. Although Bai Lin suffered a lot during his seven years at Wenyuan Pavilion, he just laughed it off. Perhaps if he saw the classmate who bullied him back then again, he wouldn't want to take revenge.

As midnight approached, Bai Lin felt a little sleepy, and Yan Nishuang also looked tired, but neither of them mentioned resting. Looking at Yan Nishuang's somewhat forced appearance, Bai Lin felt a pang of self-reproach and a sense of heartache, but he didn't dare to say it.

Just as Bai Lin's thoughts were in turmoil, Yan Nishuang suddenly grabbed his arm and whispered, "Something's wrong!"

Bai Lin was slightly taken aback, but he quickly realized that he had taken out a pair of binoculars he had bought during the day and quickly looked in the direction of the Sun family cemetery.

A black figure, resembling an evil spirit, appeared out of nowhere, passing through layers of mountains and forests, and arrived at the Sun family cemetery. The person was not masked, and appeared to be about forty or fifty years old. What was particularly striking was the large scar on his neck, which looked as if his neck had been almost severed.

Bai Lin handed the binoculars to Yan Nishuang. Yan Nishuang looked closely, her delicate body trembled, and she exclaimed in surprise, "Fujiwara Ichiura?"

"You know them?" Bai Lin asked, somewhat puzzled. "A Japanese person?"

Yan Nishuang nodded, silently took out her "specially made mobile phone" from her bag, and called Huang Chenghua: "Team Leader Huang, Fujiwara Ichiura has been spotted. He may be the mastermind. His location is at the Sun family cemetery. Mobilize manpower here as soon as possible!"

Bai Lin immediately called his teammates in the team chat. Seeing Yan Nishuang's tense and wary expression, he knew that this Japanese person was no ordinary person and definitely not someone to be trifled with.

"Fujiwara Ichiura is a member of a famous magical family in Japan. After the war, there were very few magicians left in the Fujiwara family. He is the strongest magician who is still alive. He has studied evil black magic for many years and has committed crimes in Southeast Asia and the Middle East. A few years ago, he fought with magicians from the Enforcement Department in Taiwan and killed several people. He is now the most wanted criminal in the East," Yan Nishuang introduced.

"Let's see what he's planning to do?" Bai Lin took the binoculars and looked over.

Fujiwara Ichiura was unaware that someone was watching him from the opposite hilltop. He walked to the new graves, took out a small compass-like object from a magic pouch, and quickly walked to a small earthen mound. He squatted down, muttered something unintelligible, and then took out a large glass jar that was at least thirty centimeters tall. Although it was far away, Bai Lin could clearly see that there was a living human heart inside the jar.

"He wants to revive Sun Xueli. I have to act immediately. Once he succeeds in reviving him, we will likely face two powerful enemies!" Bai Lin suddenly stood up and threw his binoculars away.

Yan Nishuang made a decisive decision: "We absolutely cannot allow him to be resurrected!"

Fujiwara Ichiura took out a calligraphy brush, tapped the glass jar, and the heart inside exploded, turning into a pool of blood. He opened the jar, dipped the brush into the blood, and drew a small magic circle above the small mound. It was as if an invisible sheet of paper appeared in the air. As his brush fell, the blood instantly formed a shape in the air.

"Summon Longhorn Dragon!" Bai Lin teleported directly to the cemetery opposite and summoned the Longhorn Dragon without hesitation. Now was not the time to hold back. He summoned the most destructive Longhorn Dragon right away, determined to interrupt Fujiwara Ichiura's resurrection ritual.

His appearance also surprised Fujiwara Ichiura quite a bit. He felt quite unhappy that his flawless plan had been exposed.

The longhorned dragon flapped its wings and roared as it charged out, spewing raging dragon fire at Fujiwara Ichiura. Even if it couldn't kill Fujiwara Ichiura, it would destroy the magic circle in front of him.

However, Long Yan was directly blocked by an invisible spatial barrier, and the flames burned the small earthen mound under the barrier black.

"It's amazing to see a fire dragon from Romania in the East!" Fujiwara Ichiura said in fluent Chinese. As he spoke, his hands didn't stop; instead, he drew faster and faster.

But he hadn't expected that Bai Lin's frontal attack was just a feint. Above him came Yan Nishuang's voice: "Demon-Slaying Sword—Thunderclap on Dry Ground!"

A massive sword appeared above his head, like a bolt of lightning, and fell towards Fujiwara Ichiura's head.

Fujiwara Ichiura looked up, his brow furrowing deeply. He stopped what he was doing, raised his left hand to the sky, and roared, "Shikigami—Yashahiro!"

To Bai Lin's astonishment, Fujiwara Ichiura summoned a monster with a human body and a demonic face. Its head was a huge horned skull, and it held a massive katana in its hand.

The demon leaped high into the air, its katana meeting Yan Nishuang's demon-slaying sword. The two enormous melee weapons clashed in mid-air, producing a deafening roar like thunder.

Fujiwara Ichiura grinned eerily, pulling a stack of strange talismans from his pocket and tossing them around. As soon as the talismans landed, all sorts of bizarre ghosts and monsters appeared out of thin air, mostly dark shadow demons, but also some evil spirits and "unique Japanese monsters." Bai Lin glanced at them, and the encyclopedia system kept popping up notifications:

Enemy Shikigami detected – Yasha Oni, Threat Level: 7

Enemy Shikigami detected – Mikoshi, Threat Level: 5

Enemy Shikigami Detected – Mountain Spirit, Threat Level:

Enemy Shikigami detected – Yinmoro Oni, Threat Level: 6

……

"WTF! Did we disturb a monster's den?! Are shikigami so worthless that they're just thrown away like that?" Bai Lin was startled by the sudden appearance of this large group of demons and monsters.

"Captain!" Bai Lin turned his head, and a mirror nearly two meters tall appeared beside him. In the blink of an eye, Zhuo Bi, You Qian, and Qi Qi all emerged from the mirror and stood beside him. Seeing dozens of ghosts of various sizes emerge from the dark cemetery, they were all startled.
