Hogwarts: This Dark Lord is so evil.

Chapter 154: Huh? Is that what I thought?
Levitra was very generous and told Dumbledore about the magic of flying.

The more Dumbledore listened, the brighter his eyes became.

This is indeed an unprecedented magic that allows wizards to fly without the help of any magical tools.

The most commendable thing is that this magic does not require the wizard to have a high level of magical attainments.

Even a first-grade wizard can use it.

Tom, who was "fired", was able to use this magic for the first time, which shows how easy it is to master this magic.

Dumbledore left with Levitra's research results and the wands they used to practice magic. He was going to the Ministry of Magic to mediate for Tom.

Before leaving, he told Li Weide and Tom to be careful recently and it was better not to go out. Also, he asked him not to teach this spell to other people for the time being.

Levi knew that Dumbledore was worried that Grindelwald's men would become even more powerful after mastering this magic.

After Dumbledore left, the safe house fell into an eerie silence again.

Tom lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking, while Levitra took out a large pile of wands again and picked among them.

Some of these wands were bought by Livid at second-hand stores, and some were seized from the witch party...

"Tom... you shouldn't be angry, right? You can't blame me... you know, no one wants something like this to happen." Levid said, handing over the pile of wands in his hand.

Tom looked at the wand in front of him but didn't take it.

"How dare I be angry with the great Lord Wade? Besides, this time it was me who insisted on going... After all, you didn't call me at that time." Tom said with a wry smile.

In fact, he had already figured it out long ago that if he really wanted to argue with Li Weide, he would not be able to win at all!

Because from the beginning to the end, Li Weide was not wrong!
Yes, he is not wrong! This is the most annoying thing!
Because, when Li Weide was going to do the experiment, Tom followed him by himself! His purpose was to see Li Weide's joke!
Li Weide didn't ask him to go with him!
So, isn't it normal that Li Weide forgot to tell him the shielding method of the trace thread?
Moreover, it wasn't Li Weide who insisted on teaching him this flying magic! He was the one who begged for it...

Therefore, if Tom really wanted to argue with Li Weide and say that he was cheating him, that would be completely unreasonable!
After Tom reviewed the process, he found that the whole process was equivalent to him handing Li Weide a shovel for digging a hole...

"No, I don't need a wand now," said Tom.

"Huh? Aren't you going to practice magic anymore?" Levid asked in surprise.

"Unless you teach me how to block the trace, I won't dare to 'practice' magic during the holidays."

"Ah... I almost forgot about it again. Look, Tom, you should have told me what you wanted earlier. If you didn't tell me, how could I know what you wanted? You have to tell me loudly what you want. How can you be shy like a little girl and not dare to say it? You didn't dare to ask because you are shy, right? Oh, I understand you. Remember to ask boldly next time. You know, we are close friends. What is there to be embarrassed about telling me? I am busy with a lot of things! If I rely on myself, my memory is so bad and my emotional intelligence is so low. What if I forget it again or can't understand it! I..."

"Stop!" Even though Tom had prepared himself mentally, he was still annoyed by Levitra's long-winded words. "If you don't want to teach me, just say it directly. I understand."

"Look at what you're saying. Come on, I'll teach you how to shield... Don't worry, you're in a safe house now, surrounded by wizards' residences. The magic won't detect your use of magic this time."

The method of shielding tracers is actually very simple.

This was also discovered by Li Weide when he was studying the Marauder's Map.

When he was studying the Marauder's Map, he happened to use a considerable amount of naming magic.

That is the magic that works on names...

Owls rely on this magical talent to accurately deliver letters to the right people.

Although trace magic is slightly different from naming magic, the identification methods are basically the same.

Therefore, by doing the opposite operation, Li Weide can block his name on the live map through some interference means.

Naturally, there is a way to block the "signal" sent by the tracking thread!

In fact, the trace has always existed, but Levi's method is equivalent to throwing himself and his wand into the shielded room.

Tom has always had a good talent. After Li Weide explained the method, he learned it immediately.

"That's a really good idea..." Tom said happily.

Now that he had a way to block the trace, he could use his wand to practice magic at will.

To be honest, he preferred to use his own wand rather than practicing magic with those tattered second-hand wands.

But... he still needs to use another wand to practice those messy dark magic.

Otherwise, even if I blocked the trace, if Dumbledore used the Flashback Charm on my wand like he did today, I would definitely be thrown into Azkaban...

Thinking of this, Tom picked up two wands that were convenient for him from Livid's hand. One of the two wands was "clean", and the other was not a big deal.

The clean one is ready for inspection at any time, and the other one... is used for doing bad things, so it doesn’t matter whether it is clean or not.

As for how to determine whether a wand is clean, you only need to use the Flashback Charm to confirm that the wand's previous owner has not used any particularly unusual magic.

While Levitra was trying out his wand, Tom asked, "Do you really need an award from the Ministry of Magic? What are you planning?"

"what?"

"Didn't you tell Dumbledore about the flying magic? I don't believe you would cheat me for no reason. From what I know about you, cheating me is just a side job. You must have a deeper purpose, right?"

"Tom, you think too much, really..."

"Oh? Am I overthinking? So what you mean is that you simply want to trick me?"

"How can you say that to me? What's the point of this? We are close friends! This is such a niche word for us!"

"That's not important... Wade... Anyway, if it were me, I would definitely hide this magic and keep it as my hidden trump card. You can't be unaware of how much of an advantage it can bring when facing the enemy by suddenly flying up unexpectedly." Tom's eyes were sharp.

Li Weide frowned and touched his chin.

In fact, he really just wanted to trick Tom and take the honor and bonus...

Because Levid did not intend to use the flying spell as the main means and trump card of battle.

After all, although the flying spell can catch the enemy off guard during a battle, flying in the air does not mean you are invincible and you can easily become a target.

It would be better to just use it to gain some impression points in front of Dumbledore, trick Tom to earn some meager merit points, and then get a bonus from the Ministry of Magic or something...

However, he knew that if he told the truth, Tom would not believe him.

Tom's mind is too deep, and he easily overthinks many things...

Thinking of this, Li Weide showed a playful smile on his face, and said very straightforwardly: "Well, Tom... you have indeed made great progress. In this case, why don't you guess what the real purpose of my doing this is?"

Tom really lowered his head and began to think.

In addition to receiving some honors, the awards from the Ministry of Magic also come with corresponding bonuses...

No! It can't be that simple!

It is impossible that Levid would reveal such a powerful trump card just to get that little bonus from the Ministry of Magic!

So, this point is ruled out directly!
So... was it just to trick me?
That's even more ridiculous! He won't get any reward for tricking me, so his real purpose can't be to trick me or play a trick on me!

After eliminating two correct options, Tom began to think about major events that had happened recently, and suddenly he had an idea!
Grindelwald!

Yes, it must be related to Grindelwald!

Dumbledore got the Flying Spell in order to use it to justify himself and avoid being expelled.

Because no one targeted Tom like they did Harry, Tom's expulsion punishment did not even require him to attend a hearing. It could be eliminated just by relying on Dumbledore's current influence.

Therefore, compared to Tom's expulsion punishment, the flying spell in Dumbledore's hand can attract more attention from most people!

Apart from the Ministry of Magic, there is Grindelwald who has been keeping an eye on Levi!
Just think about it, if Grindelwald saw the magic of the flying spell and knew that it was developed by Levid in his first year...what would he think?

You know, Grindelwald has never concealed his importance and appreciation for Levid!

When facing Grindelwald, Levid left a deep impression on Grindelwald with his strength that far exceeded that of wizards of the same age!
Now I am showing off my research and development capabilities...hiss...could it be that...

Tom's eyes lit up, and he blurted out, "I understand. It's not that you don't want to join the Witch Party, you just don't want to be Grindelwald's subordinate! You want to get the same authority as Grindelwald, to be on equal footing with him... or even, hiss... that's right! That's right! Not on equal footing with him! You explained your ideas to Grindelwald in such detail through that woman Anne... You are working hard to make the Witch Party what you want, right? And then... reap the fruits of his victory and finally replace him!"

Li Weide's eyes widened. Huh? Is that what I thought?

No... this is some kind of dark devil's plan to rule the world!

Hiss... But, after thinking about it carefully, it seems that it is not impossible...

Li Weide said seriously: "Tom, you are really smart! Yes, that's what I thought!"
