Hogwarts: This Dark Lord is so evil.

Chapter 118 Tom: Why do you always cheat me? Do you get a reward for cheating me?
After abandoning his fearless arrogance and handing over the experiments to his senior students, Li Weide's life suddenly became a lot easier.

Apart from secretly searching for ancient magic hotspots at night to enhance his ancient magic power, he also reads and studies.

The senior was right. At this moment, the first thing he had to do was to make up for his weak magical knowledge.

Only in this way, any experiments or research to be carried out in the future will be meaningful.

Otherwise, without much accumulation, no matter how much research and experiments are done, you can only get the basics.

Tom was amazed at the change in Levitra.

This guy who used to disappear after class now goes to the library!

Moreover, Nagini, who had previously asked him to take care of, was also brought back to his side by his side.

In other words, his secret little activities seemed to have stopped, except for the night walks.

However, Li Weide's reading speed is still as fast as ever.

The learning efficiency is still as enviable as ever...

Besides, Li Weide broke his usual habit and stopped missing, and started studying internally.

Anne's change also secretly shocked Tom.

Tom could feel that the oppression brought by Anne was getting heavier day by day!

Her strength becomes much stronger every few days!

Tom was shocked by the speed of growth.

These so-called "fake drugs" of Li Weide are really amazing!
Tom was already beginning to get excited.

If the strength can grow so fast... it doesn't seem to be a problem if there are some side effects...

However, seeing that Li Weide was still as steady as an old dog every day, Tom suppressed his restlessness.

He understood that Li Weide, like him, was just as eager to increase his strength.

However, the fact that Li Weide could still so easily hand over that "fake" thing that could quickly enhance strength to Annie, while he himself did not touch it at all, was enough to prove that the thing was definitely not a good thing!
I've been with Li Weide for so long, and I've suffered so many losses...

Tom understood one thing deeply, that is, as long as he followed Li Weide's footsteps, he would do whatever he did and not do whatever he didn't do, then there would be absolutely no problem!
Because Li Weide never does anything without confidence!
And Tom happened to be very cautious...especially his own life...

In this way, the days passed day by day.

Soon, it was the end of December.

Christmas is approaching.

Hogwarts gradually became more cheerful.

"If you want to stay on campus for Christmas, you can come to me and get the application form for staying on campus."

In the morning, in the teacher's seat in the auditorium.

Professor McGonagall said loudly, holding a stack of application forms.

Some young wizards immediately stepped forward to receive the application forms.

Neither Tom nor Li Weide moved.

They watched in silence as Annie ran up.

"Hasn't she had enough?" Tom whispered in surprise.

"There is no end to human desires, Tom..." Li Weide said calmly.

"Meow~" Tom cat in Li Weide's arms stretched.

"But if she doesn't come back for Christmas... then our plan..."

"Don't worry, she will go back. It's the end of the year, how can she not go back to report? Even if she doesn't want to go back, her aunt won't agree." Li Weide said with a smile. "As long as she goes back, her increased strength will not be hidden from Grindelwald..."

"So... after returning from Christmas... no, maybe we don't even have to wait until Christmas, Grindelwald will start to act... but how do you lead them into the trap step by step?" Tom asked.

"In the places she was looking for, I placed some 'fakes' and some incomplete manuscripts... Now, these manuscripts should be in Anne's hands. This information will guide them step by step to the place I want them to go..."

After hearing this, Tom stopped asking questions and concentrated on eating.

"Tom, why do you suddenly stop asking?"

"You've considered everything, so there's no point in me asking you questions," Tom said very soberly.

In fact, he was afraid that if he asked too many questions, Li Weide would get annoyed and try to trick him again...

Tom was also very distressed. Ever since he met Li Weide, this guy had been thinking about pitting him all day long... He didn't know why...

Could it be that he could get some reward for cheating me?
Tom thought as he used his knife to cut open a fried egg...

"It doesn't hurt to ask more about the plan... No matter how careful I am, there may be omissions. I need your help, Tom." Livid said gently. "You can help me find the omissions and fill them in..."

Tom secretly curled his lips when he heard this. You have already laid out all the plans, and now you are telling me to check for omissions and fill in the gaps?
However, despite this, Tom still thought about it carefully before saying, "At the moment, your plan should not have any loopholes... If you have arranged everything, then we just need to wait and see."

"Okay, I trust your judgment, Tom..." Li Weide said with a smile.

"Huh? Wait!" Tom looked at Li Weide warily, "...If the plan fails, you are not going to put the blame on me, are you?!"

After I just expressed my opinion, Li Weide said that he believed in his own judgment?
If he fails in the future, can he say that it was his own wrong judgment that misled his judgment?

No wonder Tom was so vigilant. In Tom's impression, Li Weide was really capable of doing such a thing!
"Tom...how can you always look at me like this? We are close friends! How could I blame you for my failure?" Li Weide shook his head and sighed.

"Unless you promise, if you fail, it will have nothing to do with me!" Tom said vigilantly.

Li Weide sighed again and then made a promise.

"Okay, I promise, even if the plan fails, it has nothing to do with Tom... I won't hold Tom responsible."

Tom heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this.

Seeing Tom like this, Li Weide couldn't help but touch Tom cat's head in his arms again.

This kid is becoming harder and harder to deceive...

But... although I did guarantee it,... I didn't say which Tom it was.

"Hey, you two, why are you always flirting with each other while having breakfast?"

Annie has been keeping an eye on these two guys for a long time since she came back.

They were communicating using the Whispering Spell, and in the eyes of others, wouldn't that just be flirting?

"Tsk! What you say is disgusting, Annie! What's in your head?" Tom glared at Annie with disgust.

"What? If you're not convinced, come and fight!" Anne looked at Tom with fighting intent in her eyes.

Tom turned away from her.

Are you kidding... Only a fool would fight a strengthened Annie!

Li Weide remained calm, "Actually, we are trying to communicate with our minds."

"Communication through thoughts? Is this possible?" Annie asked curiously.

"Not necessarily, but you can try. Isn't the emergence of many new magics due to repeated attempts?" Li Weide said with a smile.

"I see... Did you succeed?"

"Not yet. Are you interested? You can join us, too."

"No... I'm not interested..." Annie waved her hands.

How could she, a girl, flirt with two boys?

"What a pity, Annie, that your name won't be listed as the inventor of this new spell."

Annie just thought Li Weide was joking.

But Tom thought he had heard a pun. Doesn't this mean that Annie betrayed Li Weide, and now there is no place for her in the team? !
Tsk tsk, this guy Levid is really... Dumbledore actually thinks that such a guy is a good person!

"By the way, are you two going to leave school for the Christmas holidays?" Annie asked.

"Yeah...I promised Tom to go do something with him." Li Weide said casually.

Tom was slightly stunned, "You want to go with me?"

"Of course, hasn't it been agreed upon long ago?" Li Weide said.

Tom was silent.

He plans to visit his mother's family during the Christmas holiday.

But Li Weide always said that his mother's family might not be as beautiful as he imagined...

Is it... really as bad as he said?

But what Li Weide said makes sense...if my mother's family is really good.

So why would a witch prefer to die at the doorstep of a Muggle orphanage rather than go home?

For a moment, Tom felt confused...

Suddenly, a hand rested on his shoulder.

"No matter what, you have to face it. Besides, with me here, you don't have to worry about your safety." Li Weide said gently.

"Why do I feel that the greatest danger comes from you?"

"Oh, it's really sad that you say that again."

Since these words were not whispered, Anne could hear them clearly.

"So what are you going to do during the holidays? Why is it dangerous?" Annie asked confused.

"Nothing, just a little personal matter... But I noticed that you just filled out the application form to stay on campus. What? You don't plan to go back during the holidays?" Li Weide changed the subject lightly.

Sure enough, Anne, feeling guilty, immediately forgot to ask them what their private matter was.

"I just...my aunt and the others didn't have time, so I had to stay in school." Annie explained vaguely.

"Oh, that's how it is……"

After breakfast, Anne left first. She was a little afraid that Li Wei and Tom would ask her about staying in school during the holidays.

And...what if Li Wei De and Tom invited her to their house for Christmas?
Theoretically, she shouldn't have refused.

But she really couldn't go!
Otherwise, wouldn't her purpose of reporting to Nurmengard that she wanted to stay in the school be in vain?

After returning to her dormitory, Annie took out her contact notebook and planned to tell Nurmengard that she would not be going back during the holidays.

However, as soon as she opened the notebook in a specific way, she saw a message left on it.

[During the holidays, Wade and Tom are not in school, and there is no point in you staying in school, so come back to Nurmengard to celebrate the holidays. I still have many questions to ask you...]

This message made Annie feel like she was falling into an ice cave.

You know, she just wanted to lie and say that Wade and Tom were at school on vacation, so she had to stay too...

After all, she had long learned from Levi that Dumbledore valued Wade and Tom and even found them a house with a Fidelius Charm.

In other words, Grindelwald probably didn't know whether Wade and Tom would return home during the holidays.

However, this was only a few minutes slower... Fortunately, I was only a few minutes slower...

Because at this time, the order actually came!

Judging from the order, Grindelwald is well aware of Wade and Tom's whereabouts!

What if she had reported the lie before this message arrived, wouldn't it mean that it would be completely exposed now?
Thinking of this, Annie suddenly felt terrified. She sat alone on the bed, and it took her a long time to recover...

Grindelwald knew what Wade and Tom were doing, which meant that she lost her excuse to stay at school.

But now, she has changed so much that even ordinary classmates can see it.

Everyone thought that it was because Levitra taught her a lot of things that made her stronger in a period of time.

How could Grindelwald not see it if he saw her?
In other words... that exclusive secret can no longer be kept to ourselves!

Anne picked up her quill and wrote shakily in her notebook.

[I see. However, Vader plans to explore the Forbidden Forest again tonight, as a last effort before the holiday. However, I think he has a very good chance this time! ]

A moment later, there was a reply from the notebook.

[Okay, we will stop all actions tonight. Also, be careful. There is a strange existence in the forbidden forest. Maybe it will only target adult wizards or goblins, after all, you have not had any problems for so long. But you still have to be vigilant! We have a goblin craftsman master who disappeared for no reason, and everyone in the camp fell asleep at the same time! ]

When Annie saw this message, she felt scared again!

You know, these days, she went to the Forbidden Forest by herself!

What if that strange being had targeted me... wouldn't I have died long ago?

Thinking of this, Annie quickly gave up the plan of going there one last time tonight!

[I understand. I will be careful.]

After closing the notebook, Anne took a deep breath before putting it back in the cabinet and locking it.

There was no way to delay it any longer... She would wait until the early hours of tonight and pretend to have just returned from an expedition, and report her findings to Nurmengard...

……

night.

It is a public affair.

Li Weide was sitting by the window, holding the cat and reading a book.

Suddenly, he felt the Tom cat in his arms stiffen for a moment, and then jumped onto the table.

A familiar voice appeared in Li Weide's ears.

"I have put away all the 'residues' you asked me to put away, and in the way you told me to put them away."

It turned out that Tom Cat was once again replaced by a senior and became a cat senior...

Levid glanced at Nagini lying on the ground beside him, and whispered, "Good, very timely. If it goes as I expected, Grindelwald's people will become active tonight or Christmas Eve at the latest..."

"By the way, how did you put those powers into the Forbidden Forest according to my ideas? When you said you were asked to come, I was surprised. After all, you can only use your consciousness." Li Weide asked curiously.

"Have you forgotten? There is a controlled goblin in your wizard tower. As long as I attach my consciousness to him, I can move freely. It's just a matter of placing him in a few more places. Although the old goblin is not in good health, it's not a big problem."

Upon hearing this, Li Weide was once again amazed at how terrifying the senior's nightmare magic was...

In other words, if she had ill intentions towards him, it would be really easy for her to do something like "taking over someone else's body"!

"Hmm... your spell that can speak quietly is quite interesting. Are you on guard against that little snake?" asked the senior student.

Li Weide pretended to flip through the book casually without even looking at the senior student.

"Yes, she is a poor person, a blood-cursed orc. Now she can only rely on my ancient magic Transfiguration to barely stay awake."

The senior student stared at Nagini with a pair of cat eyes.

Nagini didn't think there was anything wrong with it, because as a kneazle, she was usually wary of herself, afraid that she would hurt her owner.

"Yes, you are becoming more and more proficient in the use of ancient magic. However, if my research goes well... maybe you don't need to take risks!"

"Have you made any progress?" Li Weide asked excitedly.

"I've made some progress... Based on the emotional ratio you gave me last time, I have an idea... Besides, that old goblin craftsman is indeed very capable. He seems to be able to use goblin metal to create a tool that can compress the 'residue'!"
