Hogwarts Summoning Guide

Although it was extremely painful to get out of the comfort zone, Bai Lin still arrived at the blacksmith's shop in his habitat early in the morning, eagerly anticipating the newly opened features of the encyclopedia system.

The blacksmith shop by the lake had been expanded more than three times its original size, and more than a dozen elderly craftsmen with gray hair had already started working. It was only after inquiring that we learned that Qiqi had brought over some of the craftsmen who were willing to help her forge rune weapons from the survivors of the now-extinct Spellbreaker organization.

Through the Eastern Supreme Council, the artisans obtained a large number of rare materials for crafting rune equipment. Some of these materials may not be considered precious to the Eastern magic world, but they are key to the spellbreakers' equipment crafting.

Bai Lin glanced at it briefly and found that it was somewhat different from the weapons of the previous Lawbreakers, as if many new designs had been added.

"We're developing rune weapons that can travel through portals!" Kiki's voice came from behind.

Bai Lin turned around and saw that Qi Qi was already wearing a very cool sportswear outfit. Her healthy light wheat-colored skin and long, shapely legs made it hard to look away.

While greeting the old craftsmen in Arabic, Qiqi took Bai Lin's arm and explained, "Some old-fashioned runic weapons have been transported to several important strongholds in the East. Our people can be teleported there and equipped for combat, but it's still not flexible enough and it's difficult to carry out offensive missions. So I came up with a new idea."

Qiqi led Bailin to a room that resembled a laboratory. Through the glass, Bailin could see several elderly people in protective suits carefully preparing some kind of liquid, which glowed faintly and seemed to be a new type of magic potion.

Kiki explained, "We've crafted some unactivated rune weapons and armor. After the team members teleport to the designated location, they can activate the rune equipment's magic resistance using liquid rune potions. The elders have also developed rune potions that can enhance the power of firearms. Although they can't break through magic shields, they're very effective against things like trolls!"

Bai Lin listened and nodded repeatedly. He touched Qi Qi's dark brown hair. He knew that it wasn't that Qi Qi had suddenly matured or found some profound truth about life, thus devoting herself to the Eastern Magic Management Committee. Rather, she simply wanted to help him and be a useful assistant, not just a soft girl who could warm his bed. You Qian thought the same way.

After leaving the blacksmith shop, he found old Addison fishing in the tall grass by the lake. Although the old man was an NPC summoned by the system, he was indeed a complete person and could not possibly stay in front of the anvil 24 hours a day, waiting for Bai Lin to give him a forging task.

"You've arrived!" Old Addison tapped the pipe he was smoking on a nearby rock and tossed aside his fishing rod. As an NPC, he was quite dedicated. Bai Lin warmly stepped forward and gave him a high five.

"I didn't expect you to unlock this thing so quickly..." Old Addison, with Bai Lin, actually opened a hidden cellar door on the wasteland by the lake. Walking down the dark steps, they found that the underground space was surprisingly spacious. In the center of the basement stood a statue with an ancient appearance.

Qiqi curiously skipped forward to examine it. The statue didn't have a fixed shape; it looked like countless things had been forcibly kneaded together, or like all things bursting forth from a singularity.

Old Addison stepped forward and stroked the statue with his calloused hands, saying, "This thing has many names. In the ancient East, mages called it the Dao Stone, but its real name is the Chaos Furnace."

The plot is heating up: Update! Come and check it out!

"The Tao gives birth to One, One gives birth to Two... This is a divine artifact of creation, destruction, and rebirth..." Bai Lin stepped forward and, like old Addison, pressed his hand on the statue.

Just as Bai Lin's palm touched the statue, the statue suddenly "came to life." Clumps of indescribable substances flowed on the surface of the statue like liquid, gradually forming a vortex in the center of the statue. Then, a ball of deep purple flame rose from the center of the vortex, startling Qi Qi.

The "Chaos Forge" has been successfully activated. The system immediately issued a message and announced it to all team members.

Chaotic Forge, Function 1: When you obtain a weapon that has been certified by the system to be reforged, you can choose to "smelt". The forge will decompose the equipment into weapon souls or forging materials.

Function 2: "Craftsmen" can use the Chaotic Forge to forge "Excellent" level weapons. Depending on the customized equipment, the corresponding weapon soul and other forging materials are required.

Function 3: The Chaotic Forge will record all weapons acquired by the system host and add them to the forging list.

The current forging list is as follows: Jade-Handled Dragon (Eastern Sword) Excellent, Focus (Wand) Excellent, Yasutsuna (Japanese Sword) Excellent

Bai Lin was taken aback, then quickly realized that it must be the golden-haired devil's wand that he had seized last night, which could also be reforged using the Chaotic Forge. He was already pleasantly surprised to be able to reforge the Jade-Handled Dragon, but he hadn't expected this unexpected gain. His best equipment was only "Excellent," which already provided a significant boost to ordinary wizards; "Superior" equipment must be even more exaggerated. If it could be mass-produced, wouldn't he be able to form a battle mage force far surpassing that of the United States?

However, his joy was short-lived, as Old Addison poured cold water on his enthusiasm: "Forget about mass production. I can only make two at most, and then I'll need a month to recover. Besides, do you think materials are free? It takes at least 20 ordinary Focusing Wands to gather enough materials for one Excellent Wand."

With a long face, Bai Lin handed over all the materials he received as a reward from the historical fragments quest to Old Addison. The old craftsman examined them carefully and nodded. Bai Lin's mood immediately turned from dejection to joy. He was terrified of hearing Old Addison say that he needed materials for 20 Jade Handle Dragons. Where was he supposed to get those?

Old Addison said, "Only one of the two swords can be reforged. I recommend Yasutsuna, as the Japanese sword has stronger offensive capabilities."

"Make a jade dragon handle, that'll be perfect!" Bai Lin didn't accept the old craftsman's suggestion; telling him to stop wandering around the East with a Japanese sword was worse than letting him die. He couldn't bear the shame.

Old Addison didn't say anything more, turned around and got busy. Without him making any moves, the Chaotic Furnace transformed into molds and various tools according to his thoughts. Bai Lin wanted to go up and lend a hand, but was glared away by the old craftsman. The usually lazy Old Addison changed his entire temperament the moment he grabbed the hammer, and his eyes were like those of a hungry wolf.

Bai Lin scratched his head and could only retreat to the outer perimeter with Qi Qi, not daring to go forward and disturb them. Instead, he notified You Qian to bring over all the confiscated wands. It would be good to make one if possible. He started to think about where to get some equipment and smelt it back...

About four hours later, with a sigh of praise from Old Addison, the Chaotic Forge emitted a dazzling purple light. Countless pale purple flames wrapped around a strip-shaped object as it emerged from the forge. Old Addison, his face contorted in pain, gritted his teeth and reached into the flames with his bare hands, pulling out a gleaming sword from the fire.

The jade-handled dragon is reborn from the ashes.
