Harry Potter: From Muggle Cousin to Conceptual Wizard

Chapter 505 Thunder Summoning Talisman, Promise Token, and a High-Profile Show of Goodwill!

There was a rectangular animal hide, slightly larger than a palm, painted with strange patterns. Underneath the hide was an exquisitely crafted plaque that looked like it was made of metal.

Dumbledore took out the animal skin and held it in his hand.

With his magical skills and mental strength, he could clearly sense the powerful energy contained within the animal hide.

It was an energy that was both righteous and extremely violent.

Moreover, this energy was not the whole secret of the animal hide, and he could not analyze it all at once.

"Mr. Zhang, what is this?" Dumbledore asked in a questioning tone.

He was speaking Chinese.

Upon hearing this, Master Zhengyuan smiled slightly and replied, "This is my humble work, a thunder-summoning talisman made from a piece of Kui ox hide."

It can unleash three lightning attacks of my full power in a short period of time. To use it, you only need to infuse a trace of spiritual power and then use your mental power to designate the target.

Oh, by the way, you call spiritual power "magic power" here.

The Thunder Summoning Talisman can be used repeatedly.

After the stored thunder magic power is exhausted, it needs someone with a cultivation level similar to or greater than mine to infuse it with spiritual power to replenish it.

Alternatively, on a stormy day, place it outdoors; it can automatically absorb natural lightning energy to replenish its losses.

Master Zhengyuan explained it very clearly, and Mr. Liu Tao was there to provide simultaneous interpretation in English.

Dumbledore, along with the other wizards on the playground, could understand what he was saying.

However, other wizards who only talk the talk but don't walk the walk, and who don't know the strength of the ancestor, cannot intuitively feel the power and preciousness of this Thunder Summoning Talisman.

Ancestor Zhengyuan originally intended to demonstrate China's strength to the international magic community. At the same time, he also had the idea of ​​laying the groundwork for the significance of the token gift below.

So before Dumbledore could ask to test the Thunder Summoning Talisman on the spot, he took the initiative and said:

"Since it is Western custom that gifts need to be displayed, let me show them to you."

Upon hearing this, Dumbledore was about to hand the Thunder-Summoning Talisman back to the Founder of the Right Source.

Unexpectedly, Master Zhengyuan waved his hand, not immediately accepting the talisman, but instead pointing his fingers like a sword to the sky and chanting in Chinese:

"All gods pay homage, and thunder is at your command!"

In an instant, dark clouds gathered above the playground, lightning flashed, and a giant bolt of lightning as thick as a bucket crashed down, striking Dumbledore... a meter away from the open space on the playground.

Under the astonished gazes of all the wizards present, the thick bolt of lightning continued unabated, striking for more than half a minute before gradually dissipating.

After the electric shock, the air in the Hogwarts playground was much fresher, while Dudley, Dumbledore, and others who were near the point of impact could smell a strong burnt, smoky odor.

Most importantly, the open space on the playground that was struck by lightning left behind a charred, bottomless hole the size of a bucket.

Outside the edge of the hole, the original grass on the playground was still fresh, which shows that Master Zhengyuan's attack was not only extremely powerful, but also had extraordinary precision control.

The Founder of the Righteous Source impressed all the wizards with his strength, and even Dumbledore couldn't help but marvel at and praise him.

However, the meticulous Master Zhengyuan did not stop. What he had just done only proved his skill, not that the talismans he created were equally powerful.

His right hand emitted an earthy yellow light, and with a wave of his hand to the side, dozens of bulges quickly rose from the ground, from which dozens of stone figurines made of soil emerged.

Next, he added conspicuous gold armor and shields to these stone figurines.

After doing all this, Master Zhengyuan reached out and took the Thunder-Summoning Talisman from Dumbledore's hand, and activated it.

In an instant, the Thunder-Summoning Talisman unleashed powerful forked lightning, accurately targeting the enemy and continuously releasing it, shattering the golden armor shield and turning the dozens of newly conjured stone terracotta warriors into stone dust.

"I've made a fool of myself."

Master Zhengyuan gave his concluding remarks, and at the same time, he was about to use his magic to restore the damage he had just caused to the Hogwarts playground.

But they discovered that both the charred pits and the muddy mounds had returned to their original state as if time had reversed.

"Excellent tactic!"

"You have a brilliant strategy! And the gift you gave is incredibly precious. What's that saying in Chinese again? Right, it's something I don't deserve. Hogwarts doesn't deserve it."

Dumbledore returned the praise from Master Zhengyuan tenfold.

"Do you also have a custom of refusing gifts here? That's not good, please accept it!"

The ancestor Zhengyuan refilled the Thunder Summoning Talisman with spiritual power and placed it in Dumbledore's hand, continuing, "Compared to the other gift, my humble work is nothing."

Upon hearing this, Dumbledore took out the remaining tokens from the box.

He could sense that this plaque also had some mysteries, but it was far inferior to the previous Thunder Summoning Talisman.

“Mr. Zhang, are you referring to this?” Dumbledore asked.

"That's right. Don't be fooled by the fact that this token, apart from being sturdy and having some anti-counterfeiting measures, has no other functions. It is indeed more valuable than the talisman I made."

Because it symbolizes a promise.

Master Zhengyuan explained, “Mr. Dumbledore, you are the one who once made the Qilin kneel in recognition. We Chinese cultivators know how pure and selfless the heart and how noble the character must be.”

Based on this alone, we can be certain that you will not treat us perfunctorily, and that we will definitely learn a lot of valuable knowledge at Hogwarts during this exchange program.

Knowledge is priceless, so we decided to repay it with equally priceless promises and friendship.

Do you see the five patterns engraved on the front of that token?

The sword, array patterns, spellbook, and alchemy furnace represent the sword cultivator, array cultivator, spell cultivator, and alchemy cultivator, respectively, the four branches of cultivation in the orthodox path of China.

The last wand design represents the wizarding school that will soon be established in China.

The character '叁' on the back of the token represents three chances.

With this token, Hogwarts can have us, the four schools and one academy, do three things at any time. We will do our best, provided that it does not violate morality.

"People of my strength exist in all three lineages: sword cultivation, array cultivation, and alchemy cultivation. If Hogwarts needs our cooperation in fighting against evil forces, please don't hesitate to ask."

These words were translated verbatim into English by Mr. Liu Tao.

The entire venue was completely silent.

Dumbledore's expression also became extremely solemn.

After a moment's thought, he spoke seriously:

"We at Hogwarts have seen the sincerity and friendship of the Chinese magical community, and we reciprocate with the same commitment."

As he spoke, Dumbledore took out one of his favorite magical items, which he always carried with him. It was a silver lighter-like object called a Delightor, which could absorb light, store light, and return light.

But after taking it out, he felt that the lights-out device wasn't sincere enough, and in his dilemma, he turned his head to look at Dali.

Dudley had anticipated this. He stretched out his palm, and sand from the Hogwarts playground gathered around him, hovering above his hand.

Then, blazing white flames appeared out of thin air, melting the sand into beautiful glass.

Finally, a palm-sized, translucent glass sphere appeared in Dali's hand.

Inside the glass sphere are running and roaring lions, soaring eagles, honey badgers standing upright, and pythons swimming freely.

At the center of the four animal figures, which is also the center of the glass ball, is the exquisite Hogwarts school crest.

Beneath the school emblem, there is a small number 3, which is shimmering slightly.

At the same time, powerful protective magic was added to the glass sphere by Dudley, making it indestructible.

Now, it was Master Zhengyuan's turn to be surprised.

He sensed that the magic released by Dudley seemed to be stronger than his own.

Does this make sense?

Master Zhengyuan was filled with doubt and uncertainty, but he knew that by making a high-profile alliance with Hogwarts, the four sects had made the right move, and it was a double win.

At this moment, Dumbledore had already put the Thunder-Summoning Talisman and the token back into the brocade box and handed them to Dudley. He then took the glass ball that Dudley had just made and handed it to the Founding Master.

"This glass ball is a symbol of commitment made from the sand of Hogwarts, and it can represent Hogwarts."

"Please accept this on behalf of the four schools and one branch of the Hogwarts community in China, and upon your return, convey our goodwill to the rest of the Chinese magical community," Dumbledore said sincerely.

"Of course."

Master Zhengyuan accepted the glass ball with a happy smile.
