Hogwarts Summoning Guide

Through the team channel, Bai Lin and You Qian made contact and finally agreed to meet at Tokyo Narita International Airport.

Without hesitation, Youxi threw herself into Bai Lin's arms. This was her first time acting alone. Although it went exceptionally smoothly, she was terrified and nervous throughout the process. A slight oversight could mean she would never return.

Bai Lin's Chaotic Oblivion Curse seemed quite effective. When Nagata and the others woke up, their memories of "having captured two Eastern sorcerers" and "why Snake Eyes suddenly disappeared" were completely gone. However, they knew that an extremely powerful enemy must have come to Katsuyama Shrine and taken away something important.

Narita Airport was not safe either. Both Gokoku Shrine and the Ship of Light had undoubtedly set up surveillance along such a major transportation route. The group proceeded cautiously and went through several twists and turns before finally managing to sneak into the baggage compartment of a plane bound for Hong Kong with the help of invisibility cloaks. They spent more than three hours in the stuffy baggage compartment before finally feeling the plane land steadily at Hong Kong Airport, at which point they could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

"In the future, you should think more carefully about such actions..." Yan Nishuang said tactfully, her eyes still not fully healed.

Bai Lin touched his nose, feeling a little embarrassed, but he still added in his mind: It's more convenient to act alone...

Although Nicole and Alex thought their previous official hotel was safe, Bai Lin and Yan Nishuang insisted on changing their base. It turned out to be the old church behind the Hong Kong Magic School. Apart from Edogawa Hiroyuki and a few students, it was usually deserted, which was rare in a crowded and noisy city like Hong Kong. It was perfect for them to hide and rest (since it was only used as an anchor point for a habitat portal, they didn't have to worry about passersby who accidentally entered the church discovering anything).

After subtly seeking Edogawa Hiroyuki's opinion, Bai Lin decided to recruit him as a member of the group, while Nicole and Alex, due to some injuries, were given a few days off by Yan Nishuang to go home and rest.

The problem with Bai Lin's team is that it lacks a "brain trust" position. So, Bai Lin often makes decisions on how to allocate resources, plan development, and formulate strategies on his own. Bai Lin has great confidence in Edogawa Hiroyuki's mind and character and is looking forward to him bringing vitality and overall development to the team.

Of course, even with his prodigy-level intelligence, Hiroyuki Edogawa still spent two days looking through the Summoning Encyclopedia, Habitat, Library, and other things, and was so surprised that his jaw dropped countless times.

However, Bai Lin and the others were already used to the addition of new members. They comfortably lay on the deck chairs by the small lake in their habitat, enjoying the tea and snacks made by Finnis. Incidentally, when Lulu came last time, she brought Finnis with her to the East. However, since the Eastern wizards did not enslave house-elves, Finnis was placed in the habitat.

With Phineas managing the place, and thanks to the points the team earned from killing monsters, a row of wooden houses has been built along the lake, providing ample space for the team members to live, train, or conduct research.

Bai Lin tallied up the main gains from this operation, which included: the black jade gourd that imprisoned Shuten-dōji, the briefcase containing "tribute", the 3200 points obtained from killing three shikigami, the system computing power boost obtained from sealing the snake's eyes, and a rare item called "the core of the snake monster".

Having become accustomed to these supernatural phenomena, Hiroyuki Edogawa found Bai Lin with a thick notebook in hand. In the past few days, he had become even more respectful to Bai Lin, adopting an attitude of "I'll follow you for life."

"Brother Bai, does our organization have a name?" Hiroyuki Edogawa asked excitedly, rubbing his hands together.

"Uh... no, it was just a small team formed to deal with a monster that was threatening Earth... it wasn't a very formal organization..." Bai Lin scratched the back of his head and said.

"So what is our organization's goal? To maintain peace on Earth?" Hiroyuki Edogawa asked.

"Well, it's not that noble. We don't interfere in everything... It's just that there are always those demons and monsters trying to harm the East... so we just lend a hand..."

Bai Lin suddenly realized that he had never really thought about what his goals were. He longed for a free and unrestrained life of chivalry and righteous indignation, but now, with the appearance of the US Navy and the Japanese National Shrine, he seemed to have been drawn into a higher level of struggle.

"That means maintaining peace in the East! I understand! Then I'll analyze it according to this goal!" Edogawa Hiroyuki said with a solemn expression.

Looking at his serious expression, Bai Lin felt a strange sensation. This kid was half Japanese, and his sister seemed to still be on the Ship of Light. She wondered if it was right or wrong for her to bring him in.

With a wave of his hand, Hiroyuki Edogawa conjured a small blackboard out of thin air.

"Huh? You still have this in your bag? Are you planning to give a lecture anytime?" Yuqian, who was eating snacks, interjected and asked.

"Um... isn't this the function of the habitat? It can create small things at any time, but they can't exist for more than half an hour. You can use this function for tactical training and the like... What? You guys didn't know that?" Hiroyuki Edogawa said in great surprise.

"I know, I'll use this function to make snacks! And they won't make me fat!" Yuxi said matter-of-factly, pointing to the fries on the plate.

Bai Lin covered his face, somewhat embarrassed, and said, "Let's not worry about the details for now... Just tell me what you want to say!"

Hiroyuki Edogawa shrugged and said, "We're too weak! Although Brother Bai, you're very powerful, and a few dozen ordinary wizards are no match for you, after studying the entire Pokédex system and the functions of the habitat, we should be many times stronger than we are now!"

"Kid! Watch your words." Qiqi said coldly while wiping the revolver in her hand. She had been helping Yan Nishuang contact the Lawbreakers organization these days and cooperating with the armory to produce Lawbreaker firearms and train soldiers to use these "retro weapons," so she hadn't participated in this operation and was still holding a grudge, hence her rather unfriendly tone.

Bai Lin waved to Qi Qi and asked Edogawa Hiroyuki, "Do you have any good suggestions?"

Hiroyuki Edogawa wrote and drew on the blackboard, then explained: "Neither the Light Ship organization nor the US military and the Japanese God Shrine, which are suspected of providing them with protection, can be eliminated by a simple bandit organization like ours. Even if we have the Eastern Executive Department as our backing, in order to respond to threats in a timely manner and take the initiative to eliminate hidden dangers, we need to improve in three aspects: breakthroughs at the top level, overall improvement, and expansion to the periphery."

His tone was serious. Yuxi, Qiqi, and Lulu and Hagrid, who were watching the "Squad Temporary Meeting" through the team channel, all perked up and wanted to hear his opinion.

"What I mean by 'high-level breakthrough' is that, Brother Bai, as the strongest fighter in the team, you have too many and too varied techniques, which often prolongs the battle, expands its scope, and causes unpredictable consequences. You need to find a breakthrough direction for your strength to end the battle as quickly as possible and at the lowest cost!"

Bai Lin suddenly felt a jolt in his head, as if he had grasped something.
