Hogwarts Summoning Guide

Chapter 273 Following the Clues

Having experienced the Battle of Hong Kong and the ambush at sea, Yan Nishuang had become somewhat wary of the mages within the Execution Department. She was unable to immediately select powerful and reliable mage team members from the information provided by the Supreme Committee, so she decided to first establish a special team composed of ordinary people.

"You mean to form an Eastern Lawbreakers?" Bai Lin asked, sweating profusely.

Yan Nishuang nodded and said, "You also know about the Lawbreakers?"

Bai Lin touched his nose, somewhat embarrassed, and said, "The European Spellbreakers basically fell into my hands. They have gone against the original purpose of the Spellbreakers and have become a terrorist organization by indiscriminately attacking ordinary wizards in Europe."

Yan Nishuang said thoughtfully, "I've heard about it too. Don't worry, I'll carefully select the team members and strictly discipline them... Zhao Yu can also be of help."

Zhao Yu quickly straightened her back and said, "Leave it to me, it's absolutely reliable!"

Before Bai Lin could even badmouth Zhao Yu, Yan Nishuang said with some concern, "I'm not worried about the team's members or combat strength, but there aren't many anti-magic weapons left over from the war years... This is a bit tricky. I'm afraid we'll have to start by collecting documents on the manufacture of anti-magic weapons!"

A smile immediately appeared in Youxi's eyes. Seeing that things had progressed to this stage, Bai Lin immediately extended an invitation to Yan Nishuang and Zhao Yu to join the team.

It took Yan Nishuang more than two hours to calm down from the shock of so many unimaginable system functions. Zhao Yu was excitedly howling in the habitat. Yan Nishuang also understood how Bai Lin had almost transformed from a magic failure into a master of black magic and summoning in just a few years.

Qiqi casually showed Yan Nishuang the various spellbreaker weapons in her hands, as well as the Mystic System that had already been unlocked in the encyclopedia.

Yan Nishuang excitedly grabbed Qiqi's hand and said, "We're teammates now, right? Can you tell me how to make the Spellbreaker weapon?"

Kiki's expression was somewhat gloomy as she whispered, "I went back to Egypt a while ago. The elders have completely lost hope for the future. Without Caesar's team, the Spellbreakers organization doesn't even have a basic source of livelihood. Many of our people are still starving... I'm afraid no one will make arcane weapons anymore."

Yan Nishuang was taken aback for a moment, but then her face lit up with joy. "No problem! I can appoint you as our team's technical advisor, and under the guise of joint technology research and development, the East will provide assistance to your people!"

After thinking for a moment, Qiqi agreed to report the matter to the elders of the Lawbreakers. Bai Lin felt that it was not a big problem. The points rewarded for killing Fujiwara Ichiura's shikigami were enough to buy a lot of Divine Edge Runes and Magic Resistance Runes. Whether or not he could obtain the crafting method of the Rune Gun was no longer very important.

But then I thought about it again, and this technology was very important because the situation of the Eastern and Egyptian lawbreakers was different. Any advanced technology, once it reached the East, could easily break down the efficiency barrier with the hardworking and intelligent Eastern craftsmen. It might take the Egyptian lawbreakers several years to make a 98K, or even five or ten years, but with the strong human and material resources of the East, mass production should be possible in a few months. They could even apply this knowledge to create even more powerful weapons.

With Qiqi acting as a go-between, Bai Lin was happy to have nothing to worry about. And indeed, two weeks later, the Eastern diplomatic team arrived in Egypt and signed an aid agreement with the Egyptian authorities, proving that the Supreme Council's support for Yan Nishuang's team was not just talk; they really did offer whatever conditions they wanted, as long as they could achieve their ultimate combat effectiveness.

In response, Yan Nishuang established a combat squad called "Reverse Blade," composed entirely of retired special forces experts. Unexpectedly, Zhao Yu withstood the pressure and led this group of elite soldiers to begin special training. Over the next three months, they will master the use of the Spellbreaker weapon and formulate tactical plans to target black wizards, trolls, or other monsters.

Bai Lin, Yan Nishuang, and others quickly launched another operation—"following the clues to find the melon".

A Singapore Airlines passenger plane that departed from Hong Kong slowly landed at Tokyo's Haneda Airport. Hundreds of tourists lined up to disembark. In the arrival hall, there were already many tour group staff waving various flags or cardboard signs, looking for the tourists.

After a flurry of activity, a local tour guide watched helplessly as his colleagues picked up their passengers and boarded buses. Almost everyone on the plane had left, but he hadn't found any clients. Looking at the sign in his hand that read "Unfounded Squad," he couldn't help but smile bitterly. It seemed he wouldn't be getting paid for the day.

Meanwhile, a group of people appeared out of nowhere in a small alley not far from the airport.

"Um, Brother Bai, won't we be hunted down by the priests of Atsuta Shrine if we use Apparition so openly?" Edogawa Hiroyuki, who had been temporarily recruited by Bai Lin, asked timidly among the group.

"Relax, relax! My Disordered Elemental Energy's Phantom Shift will disrupt all magical fluctuations and won't alert the city's magic detection devices," Bai Lin said smugly.

There were six of them in total. Besides Yan Nishuang, Bai Lin, You Qian, and Edogawa Hiroyuki, there were two "naive" underlings, Nicole and Alex. These two guys were lucky. In the chaos that day, Li Kang turned against Yan Nishuang and attacked her. They were at an intersection, and Li Kang didn't make things difficult for them, probably because of their status as Hong Kong civil servants.

"Captain... is it really appropriate for us to just run away like this? We're in an unfamiliar place, and we don't even have a guide..." Alex said weakly.

"We boarded the plane using false identities, and the Civil Aviation Administration will soon discover the data problem. Hiring a guide would only expose us... Besides, we don't need a guide. Our goal for this trip is to capture Shuten-dōji!" Bai Lin said.

"What the heck?" Ni thought her ears must be playing tricks on her. As a semi-anime girl, she certainly knew about Shuten-dōji from Japanese mythology, but it was just too strange for such a mythical monster to appear in her mission.

"Just follow orders, I'll give you a raise when we get back," Bai Lin said, but inwardly he was thinking: If we weren't short-handed, do you think I'd want to work with two newbies like you...?

With the library's functionality, Bai Lin discovered that he could search for the approximate location of the monster being queried. Since Shuten-dōji escaped from the underground cave last time, he most likely hadn't returned to Fujiwara no Ichiura's side yet. If he could capture it, he would definitely be able to obtain a lot of information about the Ship of Light.

Shuten-dōji, as an ancient demon king, was very arrogant. His relationship with Fujiwara no Ichiura was one of cooperation, and he was not sealed away as a tattoo on his body. His weaknesses were also quite obvious: he loved sake (legend has it that he was drugged by sake given by a god and was killed by Minamoto no Yorimitsu) and was a womanizer. And the place in Japan that best suited his needs was, of course, Tokyo, a land of wine and women.
