This time, Hao Yun took out a charred, withered tree and placed it horizontally on the roof. After setting up the projector, Hao Yun began to inscribe the array.
After completing the three formations, Hao Yun took out the Thunder Bird card, inserted it into the projector, and then took out an equipment card.

With a cry of an eagle, the Thunderbird appeared.
Standing on the dead tree, the Thunderbird had sharp eyes and its body was constantly flashing with electricity; it was clearly not a good-tempered creature.
The young wizards who had followed all the way here, seeing the thunderbird on the top of the tower, started discussing it even more loudly.
Just then, the school bell rang in the castle.
The students who had just finished class saw a group of people gathered in the courtyard and curiously came over.
When they saw the Thunderbird at the top of the tower, they immediately opened their mouths wide.
"What's this?"
"I don't know. It was placed by the creator of Pokémon. He also placed one on the small island in the center of Black Lake, and there is a Pokémon on it that I've never seen before."
The curious young wizard set off for the Black Lake.
After settling the Rathalos, Hao Yun headed to the next location: the Quidditch arena.
Arriving at the Quidditch arena on his sword, Hao Yun selected a high platform and took out a phoenix tree made of various minerals.
The phoenix tree was placed on a high platform, and Hao used the phoenix tree as the core of the formation, carving the Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams formation around it.
With the array completed, Hao Yun wiped the sweat from his brow, his smile growing even wider.
The defensive power of this formation has become abnormally strong.
According to Hao Yun's estimation, three Dumbledores wielding the Elder Wand might have a slim chance of breaking through a corner of the formation.
With the special projector installed on the sycamore tree and the Flamebird card and equipment card inserted, the planning and preparation work was officially completed.
The firebird appeared, standing on a sycamore tree, its feathers shimmering with firelight, looking absolutely beautiful.
"Hao Yun, Hao Yun!"
Outside the Quidditch pitch, the twin brothers waved wildly.
After glancing at the two, Hao Yun rode his sword to them.
"What is this? Is this the grand plan you were talking about?"
Fred was a little confused, not understanding what Hao Yun was doing.
Hao Yun looked at the people gathering around him, pulled Fred and George onto his flying sword, and quickly fled.
Back at the castle, Hao Yun began to explain his plan to the two of them.
"These are third-generation cards. The cards aren't sprites, but equipment—equipment for sprites to wear."
Hao Yun took out a stack of cards and distributed them to the two of them.
Fred and George's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets when they saw it.
"You're really good at this! If it were me, I would definitely buy these cards."
George, a passionate Pokémon battler, reluctantly returned the card to Hao Yun.
Fred, standing to the side, still didn't understand what Hao Yun meant by placing the sprites in the Black Lake, the Ravenclaw Tower, and the Quidditch pitch.
"Selling the third-generation cards shouldn't be a problem, but what's the point of having those three sprites?"
Hao Yun smiled mysteriously. "This is very useful. Have you ever heard of event bosses?"
"It's very simple. That's a boss for you to challenge. Whoever it is, as long as you successfully challenge it, you can get the corresponding card."
"Furthermore, these three cards will never be sold, meaning that the Three Legendary Birds cards are unique."
Chapter 313 Snape's Request
After Hao Yun's explanation, Fred and George couldn't help but give him a thumbs up.
"You really are a shrewd businessman!"
Fred and George were clever and immediately understood what Hao Yun meant.
The third-generation cards are equipment cards, which can enhance the battle abilities of Pokémon.
George saw one of the three bosses stationed at Hogwarts during his holidays; it was Articuno.
Both of them had witnessed Articuno's power, and Hao Yun's plan was nothing more than a money-making scheme.
By using the three bosses, you can lure the little wizards to challenge them. If the little wizards fail the challenge, they will buy equipment cards to improve their Pokémon's strength.
The two could already foresee the booming sales of the three generations of cards in the future.
"Same to you!"
Hao Yun retorted bluntly, "You guys have a share of this money. I'm a shrewd businessman, and so are you."
After some discussion, the three of them let out a sly chuckle.
The Three Sacred Birds Challenge became the talk of the town at Hogwarts that day.
Several professors gathered in the principal's office, stood at the window, and stared speechlessly at the three sacred birds that had appeared on campus.
"Principal, should we remove them?"
Dean McGonagall felt conflicted, unsure whether this was a good thing or a bad thing.
Dumbledore smiled slightly and turned to look at the Firebird.
"They're beautiful and magical, aren't they? I think all the new wizards will love them."
"What if a school board member files a complaint?"
Dumbledore shook his head, not taking the school board seriously at all. As long as he was still at Hogwarts, their commotion was useless.
"All right."
Dean McGonagall stopped talking and began to carefully observe Zapdos.
"Hao Yun is a really talented student. I can't believe that he only took one morning to make these things."
Ravenclaw College Dean Frivive couldn't help but sigh.
The headmistress of Hufflepuff School, Mrs. Sprout, was completely uninterested in this; she was only concerned with her own herbs.
As the head of Slytherin House, Snape's expression showed a hint of emotion.
Suddenly Snape turned and left the headmaster's office. The other four watched Snape's departing figure, unable to understand what he was thinking.
"I need to go back and take care of the herbs. If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving now."
Mrs. Sprout also took her leave.
Friver and McGonagall soon left the principal's office as well.
Dumbledore stood at the window, lost in thought.
Hao Yun, who was having a meal at the restaurant, suddenly felt a chill.
"Come with me!"
Snape stood behind Hao Yun, looking at him expressionlessly.
"What is it now? Still refining pills?"
Hao Yun, who had been conscripted multiple times, said he just wanted to have a peaceful lunch.
“I have a herb that I have treasured for many years.”
After saying that, Snape turned and left.
Hao Yun threw down his chopsticks and hurriedly followed.
"What kind of herb is it? Is it rare?"
Snape remained silent and walked forward in silence.
Hao Yun glanced at Snape a few times, wondering if he was lying to him.
The two arrived at Snape's alchemy room in the basement, and Snape pushed open the door and went inside.
Inside the alchemy room, a faint, pleasant scent of herbs lingered. Snape walked to the corner and tapped the wall a few times with his wand.
The walls began to shake, and a small, secret room appeared.
Hao Yun's eyes lit up instantly when he saw the box of herbs in the secret room. He hadn't expected Snape to have kept something from him all along.
Just as Hao Yun was about to rush into the secret room, Snape raised his hand to stop him.
"Wait, let's discuss the terms first."
"Alright, tell me, what do you want me to do?"
As he spoke, Hao Yun's eyes practically popped into the secret room; he was genuinely short of herbs.
Snape kept a straight face, but a hint of expectation flickered in his eyes.
"Can your projector project human images?"
Hao Yun nodded. That's easy.
"Do the cards you create already possess a certain degree of intelligence?"
Snape's voice trembled slightly as he said this.
Hao Yun looked up at Snape, his expression returning to calm.
"Yes, but that's just a simulation; it's not intelligence at all."
"Make me a special projector, cards, and the herbs in the secret room—take whatever you want."
Under Snape's gaze, Hao Yun's face revealed a hint of amusement; he had already figured out what Snape was going to do.
"Are you trying to create a Lily?"
Snape grabbed Hao Yun by the collar, his gaze turning dangerous; at that moment, he resembled a wounded lone wolf.
