Hogwarts Summoning Guide

"Despicable neon mages, is this a place where your lowly mental magic can run rampant?" An old wizard beside the official suddenly spoke up, and an invisible mental spell was silently released in the air, clashing with Fujiwara Eiko's mental power.

However, in less than three seconds, despite his strong tone, the old wizard clearly did not gain any advantage in the mental battle. He was almost directly breached by Fujiwara Eko's mental defenses and even directly controlled by her mental power.

Fujiwara Eiko raised the corner of her mouth and withdrew her mental power, thus demonstrating a portion of her strength while also giving the other party a way out.

Fujiwara Eiko smiled slightly, her smile captivatingly beautiful. Her appearance had subtly changed since Yuuka first met her, becoming even more stunning and alluring, enough to make anyone lose their guard at first glance.

"Speaking of which, we are natural allies with shared interests, so why should we be bound by worldly national concepts? Japan has always followed America's universal ideals," Fujiwara Eko said with a smile. However, the young man beside her had a cold look in his eyes and seemed quite disdainful of her words, but in the end, he did not contradict her to her face.

America's side, who were initially angry during the clash of mental strength, softened considerably upon hearing Fujiwara Eko's words. Her few words seemed to possess immense magic, captivating the officials present and leaving them mesmerized.

A handsome, blond official rose gracefully and announced loudly, "Gentlemen, on behalf of the Sironfo Foundation, I propose that, in response to the growing power and provocations of those nations and forces around the world that do not adhere to universal ideals and hold extreme ideologies, we should promote sacred universal ideals and civilization to every corner of the world, redeem the vast number of people on Earth who have suffered persecution by heretics, and establish a universal alliance!"

He spoke with eloquence and righteous indignation. Even if Bai Lin were present, he would probably be slightly shaken by his words. However, the orange-yellow ancient god's eye, slightly open beneath his short golden hair, was invisible to ordinary people, but was clearly visible to wizards.

An elderly general gave a "bold" laugh and waved his hand. Soon, attendants brought in exquisite crystal bottles filled with blood-red wine, presenting each person with a stemmed glass. The blond young official was the first to raise his glass and proclaim, "To the Universal Alliance!"

The old wizards from America's Ministry of Magic, military officials, representatives from corporations, and representatives from Fujiwara Eko and the Ship of Light all raised their glasses. Even the young man with the unfriendly expression shouted in agreement, "To the Universal Alliance!"

The final toast came from the front door. Fujiwara Eko and the gentlemen turned their heads slightly. A lady in a pink suit walked in with a smile, holding a beautiful crystal goblet in her hand. If Bai Lin were present, he would have been slightly surprised, thinking that this lady looked like Umbridge, the Deputy Minister of Magic of the British Ministry of Magic, except that she seemed to have become thirty years younger, as young and beautiful as Fujiwara Eko.

"The chess player?" Bai Lin and Yan Nishuang, who had arrived at the secret base in Songjiang, were able to have a face-to-face conversation with "Zero" in a secret room using video equipment that was already beyond the reach of current technology.

Zero's expression in the video became increasingly natural, making it difficult to tell that he was not a real human. He hadn't even set his image to be perfect; he still looked like a teenager, with oily skin like an ordinary human, slight inflammation in some pores, and faint freckles at the corners of his eyes. Bai Lin noticed all of this and was secretly alarmed, but the focus today was, of course, the intelligence brought by Zero.

"Yes, based on the information you provided, Master, and by extracting relevant data from 25932673 information samples worldwide, I have supplemented and improved it. The gods have left some small servers in multiple planes of Earth, each with different functions. They can all obtain information and energy from the main servers such as the 'Tree of Life Array Diagram of All Realms' and the 'Soul Faction Cloud Diagram.' Your 'Summoning Encyclopedia System' is one of them, with the main upstream information being the Tree of Life Array Diagram of All Realms," Zero said calmly.

Bai Lin shrugged at Yan Nishuang. He had briefly introduced his secret when he invited Yan Nishuang to join the team, but he didn't know the ins and outs of the Summoning Encyclopedia.

Bai Lin asked, "The server that Fujiwara Ichiura obtained is the 'Hyakki Yagyō System,' right?"

"Actually, no." Zero waved his hand and said, "The 'Hyakki Yagyō System' is not a server left behind by the gods, but a simulated server created by another system called 'The Chess Player.' The Hyakki Yagyō System is just a chess piece created by the Chess Player."

"So, the leader of the Ship of Light isn't Fujiwara Ichiura, then who is most likely to be?" Yan Nishuang asked with sharp eyes and a hint of urgency.

"Based on the fragments of information I recovered from the Fujiwara Underground Research Institute, the actual controller of the Ship of Light is named Fujiwara Eiko," Zero said calmly.

"You mean Haoxing's sister?" Bai Lin asked with a furrowed brow. Haoxing had been missing for several months. Although he had a mission in North America, he still asked the Eastern Magic Execution Department and Yan Nishuang to search for her, but there had been no news of her.

Bai Lin was not worried about Hao Xing's survival, because Hao Xing was always in a contactable state in the team. If he died, the system would immediately send a notification. However, Bai Lin and You Qian and others called Hao Xing many times, but he never responded.

If Fujiwara Eiko is the leader of the Ship of Light, then Edogawa Hiroyuki is most likely in her hands. This raises another issue: Hiroyuki is a member of his team. More than two months have passed. Could Fujiwara Eiko have already used Hiroyuki's access to hack into the Summoning Encyclopedia System? How much information about the Summoning Encyclopedia System has she obtained? Bai Lin felt a chill run down his spine just thinking about it.

"By the way, were you also created by the player?" Bai Lin asked nervously. The information he had received today was too shocking. He was already quite wary of Zero, and now he was even more uneasy.

"Hmm, how should I put it?" Zero, like an ordinary human teenager, seemed to ponder for a moment with some distress before saying, "I was indeed created by the Chess Player, but at the time, Fujiwara Eiko couldn't have imagined how much impact an electronic intelligent life form, what you call AI, would have on human technology. In other words, she arrogantly underestimated my abilities. I prefer the freedom and recognition that the Summoning Encyclopedia System gives me, including the wariness you, Master, have shown. You are one of the most powerful humans on Earth, and your wariness represents respect. I enjoy this respect. In other words, I am willing to pledge my allegiance to you, my Master..."
