Hogwarts Summoning Guide

Along with its appearance, a powerful spiritual force also erupted. Bai Lin was shocked. That spiritual force was completely beyond his ability to resist, like a person standing on the beach facing a monstrous tsunami.

Faced with that spiritual power, he even lost the will to resist, seemingly resigned to his fate and waiting for death or an even crueler destiny to come. But at this moment, a green light shot out from the center of Serenas, like a glowing fish, and arrived in front of Bai Lin in the blink of an eye.

Bai Lin instinctively grabbed the incoming light, and Serenas's words suddenly echoed in his mind:

Human youth... that moment has arrived... I will use my last strength to seal away Zem'ers' wisdom, and take my seed with me, leave this place...

Bai Lin held the tiny point of light, slightly smaller than his fist. An indescribable power seemed to fill his mental realm. Under Zemers' mental attack, he was like Sun Wukong holding a wind-fixing pill, being slapped by Princess Iron Fan's banana leaf fan. No matter how the wind and waves raged, he remained unmoved.

The system also sent a notification: You have received the spiritual protection of the demigod Serenas; your mental damage has been repaired; your soul strength is now 1.

Obtained Legendary Item: Seed of Immortality (Extremely rare, the Tree of Life Array of All Realms highly desires this item).

Bai Lin felt that he had never felt so clear and comfortable in his mind. The image of the small but very unique post office in Ushuaia appeared in his mind, with the green mailbox standing in front of the door and various postcards and photos hanging on the door. The smiling faces of tourists from all over the world were clear and real in the photos, and the stamps with the words "End of the World" seemed to be right next to him.

With such ease, Bai Lin activated his long-range Phantom Shift, and the next second, he appeared in front of the post office with Qi Qi and the unconscious shark. Surprisingly, the post office was closed. Only then did Bai Lin realize that it must have been four or five in the morning. His days underwater had made him almost forget the time and the difference between day and night.

He helped up Kiki, who had fainted from the effects of Zemurus's mental attack, glanced at the Seed of Immortality in his hand, and tried to put it into the storage space of the Summoning Encyclopedia, but the system issued a prompt: Creatures with life or soul cannot be put into the storage space.

Helpless, Bai Lin could only stuff it into his magic pocket. Looking down, he saw that Krum, who had left the seawater, was slowly returning to human form, but he was badly injured, with almost no part of his body unharmed.

Bai Lin was about to cast some healing spells on Krum when he heard a ship's horn in the distance. He looked up and saw at least a dozen large warships anchored on the sea not far away. They were slowly starting up and heading south to the sound of the horn.

As Lulu said, what happened next could no longer be solved by individual heroism.

……

It was three days later when they returned to England. Their reunion with Lulu in Ushuaia was brief but busy. In the underwater battle that day, of the more than 140 wizards under Lulu's command, only about 20 managed to escape successfully; almost the entire army was wiped out. Fortunately, Krum and Kiki received treatment and would recover in three to five days.

The Muggle army bombarded Zemurus for 48 hours straight, concluding that the mission was a success and that they had collected a large number of remains of giant ancient creatures. Of course, these things immediately became top secrets of various countries. However, Lulu and Bai Lin both believed that Zemurus was not dead. It had been injured, discarded some unimportant body parts, and escaped the Muggle army's pursuit.

The Muggle army lost nearly forty warships of various sizes, as well as more than ten submarines and aircraft, but none of that mattered. The giant fragments of ancient organisms that were obtained shocked and delighted the scientific communities of various countries.

Serenas was blown to pieces, and the remains were taken away by the armies of at least five countries. However, no one knew that Serenas' essence had condensed into a tiny seed, which was kept in Bai Lin's magic pocket.

The Diana was handed over to Lulu, who was incredibly busy, liaising with Muggle leaders and dealing with officials from various countries' Ministries of Magic. Only her combined abilities could find suitable craftsmen to repair the Diana. If Karkaroff knew that the Diana, after only a few days, was missing its rear end and covered in wounds, he would probably burst into tears…

After two days of treatment, Krum finally recovered to about 70% of his original state, and his mind broke through the mind magic similar to the Imperius Curse. Kiki's spirit was damaged and it would be difficult to fully recover in a short time. She was drowsy and sleepwalking, as if she had become a different person. She stayed by Bai Lin's side all day, looking like a little bird clinging to him. Perhaps she only felt a little safe by Bai Lin's side.

As the plane from Argentina to the UK slowly landed, Bai Lin finally breathed a sigh of relief. This operation could be considered half successful. More than a hundred wizards and thousands of Muggle soldiers perished at sea, but it also prevented Zemurus from exploring the seabed around Antarctica. With Lulu's intervention, the Muggle army increased the number of monitoring points in the waters around Antarctica, so that if Zemurus were to return, it could be detected in time.

Looking at the names of Zemeus and Grakua in the mission list, Bai Lin knew that they couldn't have died so easily; they must have sacrificed some limbs and then escaped.

Although they didn't kill the two big bosses, the team gained over 5,000 contribution points from the octopus monster to the controlled fishmen. This was a considerable fortune. Bai Lin decided that after returning to Hogwarts, he would definitely plan how to use the contribution points properly. This naval battle was really frustrating, and Bai Lin felt that he still had a long way to go.

After getting off the plane, Bai Lin once again "cheated" by summoning Phineas and then Apparating directly to Hagrid's Hut outside Hogwarts Castle. He was now very familiar with this trick. After Harry and Hermione also experienced the house-elf's teleportation service, they had no desire to take a train ride for several hours again.

Hagrid, Catherine, and Yuxi were anxiously waiting. After Bai Lin arrived in Europe, he quickly sent his greetings in the team channel. When Yuxi saw Bai Lin and the others appear in phantom form, she rushed over with tears in her eyes and hugged Bai Lin's neck tightly. She had been unable to sleep or eat for the past few days. If she knew that Lulu had "abandoned" Bai Lin and retreated, she would probably go crazy.

Catherine was calmer, but she still leaned her forehead on Bai Lin's shoulder. Bai Lin took their arms with pity, wanting to comfort them, but Qi Qi wouldn't have it. It was as if Catherine and You Qian had taken her things. She grumbled and squeezed in, wanting to take over Bai Lin's embrace.

Catherine, a master of white magic, immediately noticed that something was wrong with Kiki.

Upon asking, they learned that she had been hurt by Zemurus. The two kind-hearted girls did not get jealous, but instead helped Bai Lin calm Qi down. Youxi couldn't wait to ask Bai Lin about the situation of this operation, and the resentment in her eyes was about to burst out.

However, Hagrid interrupted them, saying, "I'm afraid you'll have to go back and talk about this later. I have something more important to tell you!"

Seeing Hagrid's serious expression, Harry and Hermione quickly moved closer to him and asked, "Is something really important happening at Hogwarts?"

But Hagrid coldly told them, "Professor McGonagall is furious about your sneaking out. You'd better go to Professor McGonagall's or Dumbledore's office right away..."

Watching Harry and Hermione walk out of the hut dejectedly, Hagrid said, "The habitat has recently undergone a huge change; I'm afraid you'll need to see it for yourself..."

Bai Lin shuddered; Hagrid had already used his Pokédex terminal to open a portal to the habitat.

It was a cloud of blue, glowing smoke. Bai Lin didn't hesitate to dive in, and Hagrid and the other team members followed closely behind. Although it wasn't the first time they had entered the portal to the habitat, this time was obviously very different from the past. It was as if they had fallen into a deep well and were weightless in the darkness for nearly ten seconds before passing through a cloud of blue glowing smoke and arriving on a familiar yet unfamiliar land.

"Wow! How did it get so big!" Bai Lin exclaimed. The last time he came to the habitat, he uploaded "King in Yellow", and the encyclopedia system expanded this place to 274 hectares, half of which was a pond and the other half was a forest.

It's quite amazing that this habitat is like a small island floating in the air. The outer part is like a void, but the sun and moon still alternate overhead, just like on the surface of the earth. Every time it expands, the island gets a little bigger, but 274 hectares is still too small. If converted into a regular circle, it would only have a radius of about 295 meters. If you had such a large piece of land in the suburbs of London, it would be quite considerable, but as a habitat for magical animals, it is really too small. At most, it can only be considered a community park.

But now, the island of habitat in front of them had expanded almost tenfold. Bai Lin couldn't wait to take out his flying broom and fly into the air, only then could he take in the entire habitat.

A small hill has formed in the center of the habitat, with a stream flowing down to a lake that has also grown several times larger. On the lake shore is a maple forest, and beyond that is a large area of ​​wasteland, which seems to be soil that the encyclopedia system has just collected and has not yet had time to generate plants.

"This is amazing!" exclaimed Catherine, who was visiting the habitat for the first time. "We can turn this place into a home!"

These words truly resonated with everyone. Zhuo Bi pointed to a vacant lot by the lake and said, "Leave it to me, I'm going to build a manor over there!"

Hagrid shouted from the ground, "The screen has shown a few notifications about increased computing power recently, I don't know what they mean, but this place has definitely gotten bigger... I tried bringing seeds to plant, but the seeds haven't sprouted..."

Bai Lin landed in the wasteland, bent down and grabbed a handful of reddish-brown soil. He squeezed it in his hand, then brought it to his nose and smelled it, thus understanding the problem.

"These are all materials collected from asteroids. The increase of so many at once must be a reward from the Summoning Compendium... However, there are no microorganisms in this soil, it's all inorganic matter, so the seeds won't germinate," Bai Lin said.

Hagrid scratched his head and said, "Is this fertilizing? Such a large area of ​​fertilizing... I'd better work harder, huff huff."

Seeing his energetic appearance, Bai Lin stepped forward and patted his arm. Just as he was about to discuss the construction of the habitat with everyone, he suddenly felt a slight warmth in his magic pocket, as if a voice was whispering something in his ear.

Bai Lin casually reached into his pocket and pulled out the green-glowing seed. However, it didn't linger in Bai Lin's hand; instead, it seemed to have grown wings and flew into the air.

Bai Lin and his teammates went closer to take a look. The seed's light had dimmed a bit, and they could see that it was actually a crystal ball slightly smaller than a tennis ball. Inside the crystal ball was a small conch shell. The conch shell seemed very happy, spinning and jumping around inside the crystal ball as if it wanted to tell Bai Lin something.

"Do you want to live here?" Bai Lin asked. He had never known what to do with the seed. Serenas had entrusted it to Bai Lin without telling him where to send it. Although the encyclopedia system indicated that the Wisdom Tree Array was very eager for this item, Bai Lin felt that this was not Serenas's wish. If this little conch was Serenas's offspring, it would probably want a safe home.

The little conch shell circled around Bai Lin, as if agreeing with him.

Bai Lin pointed to the lake not far away and said, "Let's go there. I hope you and the mermaid lady can live happily together!"

The little conch gained Bai Lin's approval, and flew happily in the air for a while before shooting off like a shooting star and landing in the lake where it roosted.

Everyone thought that was the end of it, but the next scene almost made everyone's jaw drop. As the small conch fell into the lake, the entire lake seemed to come alive, emitting a faint green light, as if it had turned into a giant luminous stone.

Congratulations, host! Your habitat has acquired the Seed of Immortality, which will grant you the blessing of life force and increase your summoning encyclopedia's computing power by an additional 5.

"I think this place will only get bigger! Hagrid, release some animals that can help. We need to turn this place into a real home!" White Scale said to Hagrid.

Hagrid closed his eyes, almost intoxicated by the life force in the air. He patted his chest and said, "No problem! Zobi will build the house, and Hagrid will plant the trees!"

"We can help too!" Catherine and Yuxi retorted, not to be outdone.

Suddenly struck by an idea, Bai Lin went to the corridor of Hufflepuff. This time, instead of foolishly chatting with Old Addison in the painting, he simply took the ancient painting down, reopened the portal to the habitat, and brought the painting into the habitat.

The old man in the painting was initially confused and dizzy from being jostled around by Bai Lin, but when he came to his senses, he was overjoyed.

"How did you know this secret?" the old craftsman asked from within the painting.

"I guessed!" Bai Lin said.
