Hogwarts: This Dark Lord is so evil.

Chapter 110 No... Are you serious?

"Turn off the voice? What do you mean by that? If I turned off the voice, how would you know I was scolding you? I might as well not scold someone secretly so that no one can hear me..."

Tom used the Whispering Spell to crackle out his dissatisfaction and jealousy.

Some people are born in Rome, but they don't know how to cherish it at all!
Tom felt that his and Li Weide's current situation was like they were participating in a race together.

Li Weide's starting line was originally closer to the finish line than mine.

But now this guy insisted on running back to me, saying that it would be fair if he started running with everyone else...

Tom believed it at first, thinking that Li Weide was just a little faster than him.

Since we are all at the same starting line now, I have a chance to catch up...

However... when the race officially started, Tom realized... everyone was running on foot, but you were riding a horse!

Fair? What is fairness? Tell me, what is fairness?

Fairness means that you ride a horse and complain that I run too slowly, and finally mock me for being a bad runner and saying that I should practice more!

"Tom...you seem a little bit arrogant lately. You even start to scold me without any hesitation?" Li Weide looked at Tom in surprise.

Tom used to talk behind his back, but now... he was too lazy to even pretend and started to curse people in person!

"Then you're going to kill me?" Tom replied expressionlessly.

Li Weide didn't know that because of a word he said casually, Tom's resentment was even greater than that of the old ghost who had died unjustly for more than ten years...

"It's not necessary to kill him, just beat him up a few times."

"Then beat me to death!" Tom stiffened his neck and glared at him angrily.

"Okay... Tom, since you've asked so strongly, why should I refuse... Do you have any last words?"

"Hiss... No! Are you serious? I... I admit that I spoke a little loudly just now..."

When it came to his own life, Tom suddenly came to his senses.

No matter how much you envy other people's abilities, they belong to others. But your own life... is what truly belongs to you!
Just then, Annie finally stopped.

"It seems to be just ahead." She looked at the map in her hand and said.

About fifty meters in front of the three people, there was a ruin.

"This is the first time I know that there were people living in the Forbidden Forest." Tom frowned and looked at the ruins in the distance.

"Hogwarts has a history of thousands of years. It is normal that there are some abandoned buildings around. With the changes of the world, the former town has turned into the forest today..." Levid said casually.

Anne suddenly said, "But... this is just the ruins of a building. It's not a town or anything like that. If... I mean, if all the places you speculated are ruins like this... do you think there is any connection here?"

Li Weide pondered and said, "Well, you asked a good question. There is indeed a problem here. If all these magical powers are hidden in these ruins...it is possible that these buildings themselves are related to these powers."

"I don't know... were these buildings originally used for living, or did they have other uses..."

Having said that, Li Weide seemed to be lost in thought.

On the surface, Levid was talking about Morgana's magical power, but what he was thinking about in his heart was ancient magic.

He hadn't thought about it carefully before.

Now, when he thought back, he realized that the locations of those ancient magic hotspots were all in some ruins!

Anne looked at the ruins and then pretended to go forward to explore.

In fact, she had seen this place many times, and there was nothing there, but it was not good to do nothing.

After all, this should be her "first time" here!

Li Weide approached the ruins and looked at them carefully, as if trying to find some iconic architectural symbols among them.

So that he could find out later who built these buildings... and why they generated ancient magic hotspots.

In this way, maybe he could truly understand the origins of these ancient magics, and where else these ancient magic hotspots could exist besides around Hogwarts!

Anne also frowned. "These ruins look like they are at least several hundred years old, which means that these places were already ruins when Professor Morgana was alive. But why did she hide these magical powers in these ruins? It's too conspicuous! Why not just hide them anywhere..."

"Maybe it has something to do with the formation or storage of this magic power..." Tom also guessed. "Otherwise, I really can't think of any reason to put such a precious thing in such an unprotected place."

Li Weide did not say anything, but just concentrated on examining the ruins that he had previously ignored.

After a while, he finally saw some clues.

These buildings have remnants of ancient magic... just like his lighter.

Now, Li Weide has a bold guess.

That is, these buildings were originally built using ancient magic!

Therefore, after these buildings declined, the ancient magic that originally maintained the buildings overflowed and then gathered together again, thus forming an ancient magic hotspot...

Even these buildings have been weathered, but the ancient magic contained in the buildings has not dissipated!
This shows how powerful ancient magic is...

It is also because of this that Li Weide can absorb these ancient magical powers so smoothly without being rejected!
The ancient magical power used by the predecessors to build the house now seems to have become a battery to charge Levi... Of course, it is very simple to prove whether this idea is correct. A simple control experiment is enough.

Building houses with ancient magic... Could it be that ancient magic was a very common thing in the past?

Soon, Li Weide shook his head and denied this arbitrary idea in his heart.

The fact that someone has built a house using ancient magic does not prove that this power was common in the past.

If it had been common, it would not be so rare that there is no mention of it in the history of magic.

When the senior student first awakened to ancient magic, she only learned the specific information about ancient magic from the portraits of her former professors.

"There's nothing here," Annie said after a cursory inspection.

There was nothing different here from the last time she came to investigate.

So, she didn't need to explore further to know that there was nothing here.

"Let's look for it more carefully." Li Weide said.

As he said this, he looked at Tom.

Tom nodded, then began to take out his wand, using Apparition spells to examine every inch of the ruins.

Anne watched from the side and shook her head.

She had checked the ruins of this place many times and found nothing.

Not only that, after she handed in the notebook, Grindelwald asked other witches under his command to check it many times.

Among these witch parties, there are many "professionals" who often conduct "relic explorations".

Plus, each of them was holding an instrument like the one the goblins distributed.

Logically speaking, if that kind of magical power really existed here, it should be impossible not to detect it.

The kind of magical power that was supposed to exist here.

Either it never existed in the first place, or it was taken away many years ago.

Therefore, no matter how professional and meticulous Li Weide and Tom's testing methods are, they are doomed to fail.

While Annie was pretending to help with the search, she was thinking about how to convince Li Weide and Tom to move to another place.

"Something's going on here." Tom suddenly said.

"Really? Let me take a look." Li Weide walked over excitedly.

Annie's eyes widened. No way?
This has been checked so many times, but nothing was found. How come they found a clue as soon as they arrived?

Thinking of this, Annie also ran over quickly.

I saw Li Weide and Tom, studying something around a stone slab.

Anne looked at the slate and felt relieved.

"It looks like just a floor tile, what's so special about it?" Annie looked at the two boys as if they were fools.

Although these two guys are excellent in all aspects, so excellent that even Grindelwald has people keep an eye on them.

However, when it comes to outdoor exploration, I am more experienced than them as I have experienced more than ten forbidden forest expeditions since school started.
However, Anne's words did not affect Li Weide and Tom.

Instead of putting down the "floor tiles" in their hands, Li Weide and Tom tried to lift them together to an open ground on the side.

"What are you doing with these floor tiles..." Annie asked with a sigh.

"Come and help, please...don't just stand there." Tom said unhappily.

Tom was also a little depressed. If this guy didn't come closer, how would he act next...

"Okay..." Anne pulled out her wand reluctantly, intending to use a levitation spell.

However, Li Weide stopped her, "It's useless. I just tried it. The magic fell on this tile and there was no reaction."

"Hmm?" Annie stopped the levitation spell and looked at the floor tile suspiciously.

Floor tiles that are immune to magic?

Hiss... Could they have really discovered something?
Anne, somewhat uneasily, moved the stone slab to the ground nearby with Li Weide and the others.

"What's so special about this floor?" Anne asked inquiringly.

"Because the age of this slab does not match the buildings in this ruin. This proves that this slab is a later addition." Tom replied, "Moreover, it is immune to magic! To be honest, this is the most special thing in this ruin."

Annie now feels that what Tang Nu said makes some sense, but...how is it possible?
Maybe the stone slab is just a little special and there is no way that kind of magical power can exist inside it. Otherwise, how could the fairies' instruments fail to detect it?
Just as Annie was thinking this, Li Weide simply turned a branch on the ground into a hammer, and then smashed it hard on the stone slab!
"Crack!"

"clang!"

A small silver ball fell out from the broken stone slab, making a crisp metallic knocking sound!
