Hogwarts Summoning Manual

Seeing that there was nothing he could do to help in the conference room, Bai Lin yawned and went back to his room to rest.

After the three of Yan Nishuang drank coffee, they were in high spirits and ready to fight until dawn. Bai Lin really wanted to persuade them to sleep well. What can be done is actually to let the bullet fly for a while.But it seems that I am not very convincing, it is strange that people can listen to me.

When he woke up, the waiter brought breakfast, pure western style, toast, milk, bacon, and a bowl of porridge, which made Bai Lin very helpless.Because house elves are restricted by the relevant laws of the international magic world, they cannot be brought into the country. This makes Bai Lin, who is already familiar with Phoenix's service, quite uncomfortable, and he misses a Chinese breakfast very much. Tea eggs, that's perfect.

Sure enough, when they walked into the conference room, Yan Nishuang and Nicole had dark circles under their eyes, and Alex was already sleeping soundly on the conference table. It seemed that there was no progress all night. Sending her back to the room, hugging her in the corridor, letting her rest at ease, Yan Nishuang obviously saw that Bai Lin was planning to go out for a walk, and repeatedly told him to keep a low profile and not cause trouble, just like a big sister telling a younger brother, or like a wife telling him husband.

Bai Lin laughed, and put on a more casual short-sleeved shirt. It was a sunny day outside, and the temperature directly rose to 32 degrees, much hotter than London.He put on a baseball cap and sunglasses, and he was no different from an ordinary tourist.

Walking out of the hotel gate, I realized that this place is not far from Victoria Harbour, and I can walk there. I asked passers-by the location of the nearest Standard Chartered Bank, and the passers-by could not speak Mandarin. In the end, I was able to communicate in English. spectrum.

Opening an account and saving money, looking at the retro passbook and securities account opening information in his hand, Bai Lin is quite emotional. He has traveled back from the original world more than 20 years later, and he has already become accustomed to using smartphones to deal with financial problems. He had to go to the stock exchange to queue up for stocks, so he suddenly lost interest. Anyway, the financial crisis is still a year or two away, and there is plenty of time to wait for the case to be solved.

He was walking on the streets of Xiangjiang, and the TV series "Big Times" was still broadcasting on the street. It was this drama that made young people in the East know and fall in love with stocks. It is embarrassing to jump off the building and die in desperation.

Bai Lin once traveled to Xiangjiang in the original world. At that time, Xiangjiang was more modern and clean, but now it seems that it is just a retro atmosphere.

He strolled to Yau Ma Tei, which has a more local flavor. There are a lot of people coming and going here. There are many time-honored shops on the side of the road, which are very lively. He bought some snacks, which taste really good.

Bai Lin didn't know that such a small place like Xiangjiang didn't open up a small world for mages to live in. How did mages and ordinary people live in harmony?

But he quickly found the answer, because he saw a very down-to-earth fortune-telling booth on the side of the road. The stall owner with a goatee and retro sunglasses was smoking a cigarette in boredom, humming a tune, with a happy face Complacent look.

Bai Lin didn't know how other wizards/mages recognized "the same kind", but Bai Lin easily found out that he was a mage, because the summoning illustration book had already shown his magic power, 54 points, which was not weak.

With Bai Lin's current strength, it would be very difficult for ordinary mages not to notice his peeping. Just when Bai Lin wanted to strike up a conversation and see if he could get some information, this kind of "street performer" was usually as well-informed as the bar owner.

But just as Bai Lin walked over, a figure rushed out from the alley, and had already rushed to the fortune-telling stall ahead of him.

Bai Lin saw that he was a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy, wearing a white shirt and carrying a backpack on his shoulder. He was obviously a high school student.

"Drink! It's him, it really didn't take much effort!" Bai Lin had already recognized that this high school student was the Japanese boy Edogawa Hiroyuki who he saw from the case files last night.

Bai Lin walked not far away, bought a newspaper at a newsstand by the side of the road, pretended to read the newspaper with his head down, but listened to their conversation.

Hiroyuki Edogawa: "Uncle Basong, is there any result for what I asked you to do?" (Basong is a common name in Thailand, similar to Amin and Aqiang in China. There are many Southeast Asians living in Xiangjiang.) He said The standard Mandarin is spoken, which makes Bai Lin feel a little absurd.

Ba Song, the stall owner: "Are you in such a hurry? You haven't finished school yet! I've said it many times, if you don't study well, you may be sent back to the orphanage!" His Mandarin is also quite authentic.

Edogawa Hiroyuki: "Uncle, I've said it many times, I'm not an orphan, I just didn't find my sister!"

The stall owner Ba Song waved his hand, expressing his unwillingness to discuss this issue again. He stretched out his hand and drew a pattern. Passers-by may not know what it means, but Bai Lin knows that he has cast a small spell. I can't hear it anymore, but it doesn't bother Bai Lin.

Bassong took out a piece of crumpled paper from his inner pocket, handed it to Edogawa Hiroyuki and said, "I just found out about such things, you kid can just look at it, do you really think you are a detective? Lin Bei looked at it." It can be seen that what you want to do is not easy, those are big bosses, and you can't afford to mess with them!"

Hiroyuki Edogawa spread out the paper and glanced at it. From the corner of his eye, Bai Lin saw that the paper was densely packed with words, but Hiroyuki Edogawa quickly read it, tore the paper into pieces, and threw it into the In the sewer next to it.

Ba Song was not surprised. He leaned back, lit another cigarette and said, "Brother Wei asked me to take care of you, but I didn't want you to take risks casually! Your task now is to study hard..."

Before Basong finished speaking, Edogawa Hiroyuki waved his hand and ran away: "Thank you, Uncle Basong, I'm leaving..."

Ba Song helplessly exhaled the smoke ring, as if there was nothing he could do about this young man.

Gu Rong</span> waited for Edogawa Hiroshi to leave, and a new face came to Basong's stall.

Bai Lin sat down on the Maza in front of his stall, and Basong felt as if he was dragged into a secondary space without a sound. The people and cars passing by on the road seemed to be far away, and they could no longer see and hear them. Get yourself talking to this young man in front of you.

"Yeah, very advanced skills in using space spells...you are not an unknown person..." Ba Song spoke in quackery, not looking like a foreigner at all.

Bai Lin took off his hat and sunglasses. He already guessed that Bassong is a member of the chaotic and good camp (although he may not know it himself). It would be easier for him to communicate directly with him, who has a world development rate of 30%.

Sure enough, when Ba Song saw Bai Lin's appearance and the shallow scar on his forehead, he was startled, the corners of his mouth twitched, his back felt cold, and his tone became a little panicked: "You are...you are from the UK. Mr. White?" Because the system has subtly influenced the world, all people in the chaotic and good camp will intentionally or unintentionally read the news about Bai Lin, and then become interested. After learning about his information, they will naturally establish A kind of respect for idols.

Bai Lin put back his hat and sunglasses, raised his legs and said, "Make friends, my real name is Bai Lin, and I'm from the East."

Ba Song blinked his eyes, and said a little flattered: "You are such a big man... I... My name is Ba Song, and I have been in Xiangjiang for almost 20 years. What can I do for you?"

Bai Lin said straight to the point: "Kun Ba Song (Kun is an honorific in Thai before the name), I'm not a big shot, you know I don't have any malicious intentions. I'm investigating a major case and I want to ask Jiang What did Hiroyuki Togawa get from you? Is it related to this case."

Bassong was taken aback, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Have you been transferred from the British Ministry of Magic to Xiangjiang?" Although he knew about the British deportation order for Bai Lin, Bassong was naturally indifferent to such a powerful and just wizard. I think it may just be a job transfer.

Bai Lin spread his hands and said, "It's a private identity to assist in the investigation. After all, I can only fight and kill criminals." He said it easily, but there was a faint deterrent in Basong's ears .

Bassong swallowed and said: "That kid is very smart, and he is always interested in various bizarre cases... Well, it must be because of the case that he asked me for help this time... I hope that Mr. Kailin will be able to help him if he meets him again." Take care of him..." He paused and said, "He asked me for a pier registration form, the foreign private ships registered at the West Ring Cargo Wharf in the past two weeks."

Bai Lin suddenly understood that Alex and the others were screening the information of foreigners who entered the country. Very particular.

For Bai Lin, who traveled through the past in 2020, he has already seen countless crime film and television works, such as offshore entertainment centers, offshore casinos, and offshore ice factories are no longer new. The battle royale game.In this era, you can almost do whatever you want with a ship on the high seas.

Not to mention freighters and passenger ships, but many rich cruise ships, some of which have more than a dozen cabins, with a little modification, they can become a sea laboratory, whether it is to prepare potions, cultivate viruses, or release potions, and then Quick evacuation is much better than on land. If you are behind the scenes, you will most likely choose this plan.

"Is there a backup of this registration form?" Bai Lin asked.

"What is backup?" Ba Song was a little puzzled, and Bai Lin suddenly realized that this word became popular after the popularization of computers, and quickly said, "It's just a copy. Didn't Edogawa tear up the copy just now?"

Ba Song scratched his head and said, "I gave it to him without even looking at it. There are so many characters, including Chinese and English, how can I copy them all over again? But..." He changed his style of painting, and he didn't know where to draw it out. An old wand waved towards the stinky ditch on one side, muttering something, a ball of shredded paper flew out of the stinky ditch, then fought back in the air, and landed on the tablecloth of the fortune-telling booth.

Bai Lin could see that this was an improved restoration technique, which was very well modified, and even had a feeling of Doctor Strange's time magic.

Bai Lin glanced at the paper and saw that it had been repaired, but the words on it were all ruined. It seemed that the restoration technique could not do anything about it.

Ba Song was a little embarrassed and said: "I stole this from the dock manager...I'm afraid there will be no second copy."

Bai Lin felt a little regretful, but he had no choice but to bid farewell to Basong. Fortunately, he just had a new heart. When Edogawa Hiroyuki passed by, he secretly stamped a magic brand on him. This brand is like a tracker In a short time, Bai Lin could easily find the location of Edogawa Hiroyuki through induction.He has a feeling that this child, no matter in appearance or name, is very similar to Detective Conan. He is very talented in detectives and might be able to help him find clues.

Bai Lin bought a tourist map on the side of the road, on which there are introductions of various piers/ports.Xiangjiang has [-] piers, large and small. The big ones include Tsim Sha Tsui Pier, GA Pier, Lamma Island Pier, and Central Pier.

It has to be said that the West Ring Freight Terminal that Hiroyuki Edogawa is looking at is indeed a very good target, with a large throughput and a large number of ships. If the mastermind behind the scenes does not use a cruise ship, but a larger fishing boat, Or a few containers on the freighter can easily enter and exit freely. After all, the other party also has a mage, who can control the captain and crew through the Imperius Curse, or use polyjuice or polymorph to change into the appearance of the locals.

He walked through the crowd and felt that Edogawa Hiroyuki should be heading towards the West Ring Pier. Although Xiangjiang's mages and ordinary people are almost indiscriminately mixed together, due to the "International Wizarding Secrecy Act", Mages usually still have to hide themselves, especially minors are not allowed to use magic in front of ordinary people (some are not restricted within the scope of the Muggle isolation spell, because after all, it is to make ordinary people invisible), so Edogawa Hiroshi Honestly, take the tram like an ordinary person, just like Harry took Mr. Weasley to take the subway in London.

However, Bai Lin is not interested in the Shloe Secrecy Act, because with the development of the times, unless the wizards open up a new world that completely isolates ordinary people, or teleport to another earth-like planet, the effect of magic will be reduced. Gradually decline in the explosive development of civilian technology, and if wizards don't learn magic, they will suppress their magical energy and become silent. No matter what kind of prospects, paper can't hold fire. "It is impossible for the population to stay away from the sight of ordinary people forever.

He found a place where no one was around and started apparating directly. First, he teleported to the top of a nearby high-rise building. He could easily see the location of the West Ring Freight Wharf. Then he teleported again. When he stepped on the ground, he had already appeared in the In the uninhabited place by the pier, not far away are stacked containers and various shelves. Many laborers are working hard to move the goods, and many of them are Southeast Asians.
