Hogwarts Summoning Guide

"You guys go back to school and wait for me. I'll come back as soon as I'm done, and I'll tell you everything in detail!" Bai Lin said firmly.

Zhao Xixi and Yan Xiaoyun exchanged a glance. Bai Lin must have gotten involved in some major event that was beyond the reach of ordinary people like them. Although they were helpless, they obediently accepted it. The two hugged Bai Lin lightly and got into a taxi on the side of the road.

Bai Lin glanced at the taxi driver. His unique demeanor made him realize that the driver was an agent left behind by the middle-aged man. The two girls would likely be dealt with by some kind of supernatural power, such as the Oblivion Curse, on their way back to school. His encounter and time with them over the past few days was destined to be short-lived, and he might never see them again.

Bai Lin sighed softly. Ever since he jumped off the train platform, he was destined to sever all ties with this world. He looked at his phone, hesitated for a moment about whether he should call his parents in this world, but in the end, he gave up.

He was somewhat surprised that the middle-aged man believed him so easily. He suddenly thought of the world and faction reputation he possessed, which might have provided him with some kind of help.

As soon as he reached the roadside, a taxi stopped in front of him. He casually got in, and the driver glanced at the navigation on his phone, stepped on the gas, and the taxi shot off with a whoosh. The power was comparable to that of a rally car.

"Earthling?" The driver asked Bai Lin as he lit a cigarette and turned his head while speeding at over 150 miles per hour on the highway leading to the suburban mountains.

"100% Earthling." Bai Lin said, somewhat amused and exasperated.

The driver nodded and continued, "Is that thing very powerful?"

"I don't know if it's due to spacetime suppression... Oh, you mean the Holy Judgment you mentioned. In our world, it's quite powerful, causing at least hundreds of thousands of deaths." Bai Lin estimated, not including the casualties in Japan and America.

The driver said, "Can you handle this yourself? If not, I'll call for backup."

"You are not bound by the Holy Judgment?" Bai Lin asked, somewhat surprised.

The driver patted the car's glove compartment, and the tattered plastic lid surprisingly opened into a metal storage compartment in a very futuristic way, revealing a strangely shaped black gun inside.

"There are no restrictions if you use a gun," the driver said.

"This...the man in black?" Bai Lin's lips twitched as he thought of that spoof science fiction movie.

The driver waved his hand and said, "The headquarters was also inspired by Hollywood movies, haha..."

Bai Lin was speechless.

It's said that America is in charge of drawing the PowerPoint presentations, while Touhou is in charge of making them happen, and it seems that's true.

He didn't ask any more questions about what the "headquarters" was, but instead turned his gaze to the window. They had already entered the mountains and hadn't seen any other vehicles for a long time, so they must have been under control. That mysterious department was very efficient, which meant that even if they engaged in a fierce battle with Grakua, they could avoid harming innocent people.

"Straight—" A sharp screech of brakes rang out as the taxi came to a stop on the side of the road.

The driver said, "This is the most I can take you. You'll have to get to the other side on your own. We won't interfere until you die."

Bai Lin rolled his eyes and said, "Wouldn't it be difficult to handle if we blew up this entire mountain area?"

The driver said, "It's not a big problem. Just report a meteorite news story, and the news department will naturally make the animation."

"Alright." Bai Lin obediently got out of the car, with a sense of tragic grandeur, like the wind howling and the Yi River running cold, a hero going forth never to return.

Just as he was worrying about whether "running forward like this would seem cowardly and embarrassing," a golden light suddenly flashed on his right, and a summoning encyclopedia popped up. Prefer fantasy novels? Click here.

"What? They opened a back door for us?" Bai Lin opened the ancient book in surprise. Although the team communication function was still unusable, all the summoned beasts were in an active and summonable state.

He touched the summoning mark on the back of his hand, and with a thought, the giant wolf Xuefeng appeared beside him. The long-lost old friend made Bai Lin sigh. To be honest, in the high-level battles of the magic world, the combat power of summoned beasts was no longer enough, but it was different here. It was enough to give Grakua a little trouble.

The driver watched with great interest as Bai Lin rode the giant wolf and disappeared down the mountain road. If it weren't for headquarters regulations, he would have filmed a video and posted it online.

"It's just ahead!" Bai Lin commanded Xue Feng, who was wrapped around its furry neck. Xue Feng responded with a low growl, full of fighting spirit.

Following the navigation on their phones, they jumped from the road into the woods, gradually entering a sparsely populated area. Bai Lin remembered that this was a nature reserve with many wild animals.

Just as he was thinking about wild animals, a strange movement occurred in the woods ahead, and a murderous intent, as if it were a tangible force, rushed towards him. Then, a huge black shadow emerged from the dense forest and went straight for Xuefeng's neck.

Although the creature arrived quickly, Bai Lin's eyesight was exceptional, and he could already tell that it was a giant python, or rather, a giant snake magnified dozens of times. The python's forehead was bulging, and black smoke was billowing from its mouth, making it a typical demonized creature.

"Damn it, this is a perfect match for my major!" Bai Lin cursed as he sidestepped, and Xue Feng quickly changed his movement, nimbly dodging the giant python's attack.

Having just dodged the giant python, Xuefeng quickly jumped away again. A wild boar, as big as a bull, suddenly charged out, its four sharp tusks protruding from the sides of its massive mouth. After Xuefeng dodged it, the boar crashed into several trees.

"Wow, you've got quite a few animals under your control!" Bai Lin didn't take pythons and wild boars seriously. Although he couldn't easily use magic and faction power, monsters of this level didn't require him to summon horned dragons and thunderbirds. Xuefeng and Sphinx alone could sweep through the valley.

With a roar, the Sphinx burst out from the spatial rift opened by the Summoning Compendium, knocking the giant python to the ground and tearing its sharp claws straight for the python's heart. Meanwhile, the snow wind howled past the wild boar, and Bai Lin's right arm had already transformed into the Fist of Orgrimmar, which sent the wild boar flying more than ten meters away with a single punch.

As they continued forward, countless demonized rats surged towards them like a tide, but thanks to Xuefeng's agility and the immense power of the Augur Fist, the demonized rats were reduced to mincemeat wherever they went, and nothing could hinder their progress.

Emerging from the dense forest, the view suddenly opened up, revealing a small river flowing through the valley, with a person standing prominently on the grassy bank.

She was an ordinary-looking middle-aged woman, like any ordinary person you'd see on the street or in a market. But Bai Lin knew that she was a pitiful victim possessed by Grakua.

"I'm quite surprised you found me so quickly." The woman's eyes rolled back, and although her mouth didn't open, the sound came from her chest and abdomen.

"You underestimate the world's defenses," Bai Lin said, shrugging. His intuition told him that Grakua still had tricks up its sleeve and would not sit idly by and wait to be killed.

"The hypocritical gods set up the rules of the world, and then opened a back door for those rules themselves. How ridiculous!" Grakua sneered. Her voice was as grating as scratching a blackboard with a sharp object. Bai Lin knew she was referring to the "Guardians" who lived on the surface of the earth.

"Isn't it because I'm wary of monsters like you? You've harmed quite a few people since you came here from the hospital!" Bai Lin felt angry and sorry for these poor victims. Although they were ordinary people, they were also someone's sons and someone's mothers. Just because they passed through Grakua, they were brutally murdered.

"Ordinary humans... are nothing more than servants, food, and fertilizer... You are already a demigod, why would you still have such thoughts?" Gracua's tone was full of incomprehension.
