Hogwarts: This Dark Lord is so evil.

Chapter 214: Your IQ is not tied to your hair!
Li Weide followed the same method and used the ancient magic of transformation to make the halberd smaller and lighter, and then held it in his own hand.

"Break!"

Li Weide easily inserted the shrunken halberd into the wall of the corridor.

"It's indeed a good weapon..." Li Weide said with satisfaction.

Tom couldn't help but swallow his saliva in fear again.

Just now, the extremely sharp blade of this thing was only one centimeter away from his nose!

"You are a wizard, Wade, what are you doing with weapons?" Tom asked again.

"This is a weapon that can make magic ineffective! I can study the magic above and then copy it to where it needs to be copied! Guess what will happen?" Li Weide looked at the two weapons in his hands with joy.

Tom couldn't help but his eyes lit up when he heard this!

If I could also add this kind of magic immunity to the clothes I wear, then when I duel with others in the future, wouldn’t I not be afraid of other people’s spells?
"Besides! Who said wizards can't use weapons?" Li Weide put down his halberd and played with the shrunken sword in his hand.

Li Weide had never practiced sword fighting. Although the sword had shrunk, it still had a certain weight, so...

"brush!"

The long sword slipped out of his hand!

Tom's head shrank back in fear.

Then the long sword just hit his scalp and pierced into the corridor behind him!
Tom touched his scalp, which had just been shaved into a flat head and was now completely bald, with trembling hands.

Then he pretended to be calm and brushed the few remaining hairs on his forehead.

"What a fast sword..."

How many times have I almost died tonight?!
"Sorry! I haven't practiced much!" Facing Tom's angry eyes, Li Weide ran over and pulled out the sword above Tom's head. "I will practice hard in the future."

"It doesn't matter. Just don't practice in front of me next time." Tom stood up with difficulty. "Let's go... We've wasted a lot of time!"

If he stayed any longer, he was worried that if he didn't die in the Slytherin trial, he would die at the hands of Levitra...

He almost died while wielding the long sword, and Levid still hasn't used the halberd yet!

"Okay..." Li Wei De reluctantly packed the halberd and sword into a box transformed by Transfiguration and stuffed it into his pocket, which he didn't know how big it was...

However, Tom saw from Livid's slightly regretful look that he seemed to feel a little regretful for not being able to use the halberd again.

For the sake of my life, I can’t stay in this crappy place anymore!
Of course, there are other weapons scattered throughout the corridor, presumably held by other statues.

However, the magic on these weapons has almost completely lost its effect.

Perhaps, it has something to do with the place where those combat puppets were kept.

……

After a few steps, they reached the end of the corridor.

In fact, when Tom was fighting and retreating just now, he had already retreated to the end.

However, it was not until this time that they began to observe the door carefully.

This door is engraved with the same snake pattern as the entrance!

In other words, you can just use Parseltongue to get through here instead of solving puzzles everywhere.

Tom's eyes suddenly lit up and he picked up a piece of parchment from the ground.

"This seems to be the fourth letter from this Gaunt!" said Tom.

"What did the superior say?" Li Weide asked casually.

"Hmm..." Tom read it quickly. "She said that although there were many difficulties and obstacles along the way, there were also many gains and rewards... She also said that the descendants now only have prejudices against Slytherin, and she firmly believes in this..."

Tom put down the letter and said, "It seems that she didn't see through the truth of those combat puppets..."

Li Weide also nodded and said, "It should be. This is done very secretly. If I didn't have some special abilities, I wouldn't be able to detect the core of those combat puppets. The most critical part is actually the human soul..."

Tom hesitated and said, "But... did you notice that she said there were many difficulties and obstacles along the way, but there were also many gains and rewards! But, we didn't get anything along the way except the core and two weapons you took away? Where did the rewards come from?"

"We are not the first group of people to come in! The people who solved the puzzles before us have solved so many puzzles for us... where do you think the rewards went?" Li Weide said unhappily.

"Where did you go?" asked Tom stupidly.

"Of course they took it! You came here to explore, why don't you take the reward? Keep it?"

"Oh, yes..." Tom raised his hand and touched his half-bald scalp.

Li Weide stroked his chin and looked at Tom carefully.

He didn't know what was going on, but he felt that Tom had become dumber tonight!

Suddenly, Li Weide looked at him suspiciously, "Is your IQ tied to your hair? If you lose your hair, you lose your intelligence?"

Tom was somewhat skeptical when he heard this.

He touched his hair and asked, "Do you have any magic that can make my hair grow back..."

"Of course there is a way." Li Weide said.

"...The future Dark Lord really knows all kinds of magic!" Tom exclaimed.

When Li Weide heard what Tom said, he couldn't help but frowned, and then waved the wand in his hand.

Then Tom felt that his bald head had returned to its original state, and even his hairstyle had not changed.

Tom conjured up a mirror and looked at himself. He was relieved when he found that his hair had returned.

"Now, tell me again, what magic can be used to repair hair?" Li Weide asked again seriously.

"Uh... my shaved hair is still on the ground. It only needs a simple repair spell." Tom said, and a look of surprise appeared on his face again. "Why didn't I think of it just now!"

"So, is the Repairing Spell some kind of magic that only the Dark Lord can learn?" asked Levid.

"Uh..." Tom was speechless. He recalled the questions he had just asked and couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

Is this still me? This is horribly stupid!
"Forget it... the hair has returned to the scalp, and the smart IQ has taken over the high ground again..." Li Weide said, and suddenly patted Tom's shoulder, "But, promise me... you must protect your hair in the future..."

Tom touched his hair in confusion. Could it be that my IQ is really tied to my hair?
"Open the door, don't just stand there like an idiot." Li Weide urged.

...A moment later, the door was opened by Tom using Parseltongue, revealing a dark doorway.

Levitra and Tom both drank the Nightingale potion beforehand, so they could see clearly even in the dark.

Inside the gate was a room that was not too big, and at the other end of the room, there seemed to be another black door.

"There seems to be something scattered in front of the door over there..." said Tom.

"Let's go and take a look." Levid said, and re-ignited the surrounding braziers with his wand.

With the help of light, it is of course clearer than with just the Nightingale magic.

As the two entered the room one after another, the door behind them closed again.

However, neither of them felt that there was anything wrong.

After all, that was how the door was closed when I first came in.

When they walked to the door opposite, they were surprised to find that what was scattered in front of the door was a human skeleton!
"This is..." Tom looked at the skeleton in surprise, and then at a familiar piece of parchment next to the skeleton. "Is this the Gaunt?"

Tom waved his hand, and the parchment flew up and landed in his hand.

However, Li Weide discovered the strange black door and an unusually familiar spell next to the skeleton - "Crucio!"

"Oh..." Suddenly, Tom next to him let out a heavy sigh.

"What's wrong?" Li Weide asked.

"Take a look at this." Tom handed over the parchment.

[There is no hope, I can't get out... The only way to move forward is the Unforgivable Curse! The problem is... Even if I am willing to use that spell, there is no feasible target! I came here alone! I didn't expect that Salazar Slytherin would leave behind such a vicious and insidious trial.

In my last letter to my brother, I invited him to explore this place with me. If he believed me and came here alone... I would have put him in a dangerous situation! Although we have our differences, I don't want him to end up like me!
I really hope... I hope my last meeting with him doesn't end like this.

Nocto Gaunt

Livid put down the parchment silently, "So, Slytherin has failed his descendant after all."

It is usually said that the later generations have failed their ancestors, rather than the ancestors failing the later generations.

However, Li Weide still said so, and Tom understood why Li Weide said so.

"Okay, now we have to open this door... Judging from the letter, we're lucky there are two of us coming here, not just one." Tom took the letter back from Li Weide and read it again calmly.

"Well, the way to open this door seems obvious." Levitra pointed to the spell on the ground. "We need someone to use the Cruciatus Curse... otherwise we will be locked up here like her until we die."

Tom nodded and said, "It seems that the Cruciatus Curse will be useless even if it is used. It must be used on humans... You were right before, Slytherin is indeed not a good person..."

Even the most unpopular Headmaster Black in history would not do such a thing as forcing the students of the school or even his own descendants to cast the Cruciatus Curse on each other.

"Tom, there's no other way. You can only use this spell on me." Li Weide said with a smile.

"What?" Tom looked at Levitra in surprise.

According to his idea, there was no way this bastard would be his target!

Tom was even prepared to withstand a Cruciatus Curse!

However, unexpectedly, Li Weide offered to be the target?
Is this still Li Weide?
Could it be that it was possessed by some wandering ghost?

"Your Cruciatus Curse doesn't work on me," Levitra said, "but if I use it on you, you might die."

This is the truth.

Levid has been practicing nightmare magic for so long that his soul power has become strong to a certain extent, and the Cruciatus Curse happens to be a spell that acts on the soul.

Under the protection of nightmare magic, with Tom's current magical strength, even if he used the most perfect Cruciatus Curse, he would not be able to penetrate Levi's "armor".

But with Levitra's magical strength, if he used the Cruciatus Curse, Tom would have a hard time surviving it.

Levitra couldn't let Tom die in his hands while they were out for a night out.

This would be very troublesome, and Tom's death would disrupt Li Weide's plans for the future.

Therefore, Li Wei De let Tom take action, so that both of them can still remain unharmed and pass the copy, which is the most beneficial approach.

Tom looked at his wand, but was lost in thought.

After a while, Tom suddenly said, "Why don't you come and beat me?"

"Oh?" Li Weide's eyes flashed with a gleam of brilliance. "Can you tell me why?"

"Didn't I tell you? I don't want to learn or use black magic recently!" Tom said impatiently.

"Really? That's a really... awkward reason, Tom. But are you really sure? This may be the only chance in your life to hit me with a spell?"

"Stop talking nonsense, come on, I know that with your control over magic, I can't die! In fact... you are also waiting for me to speak, right? You will never be a target for me! I know! In fact, there is no need for you to test me like this! I have said it before, before my strength surpasses yours, I will temporarily follow your lead! If you are not strong enough, you can only bear the bitter consequences of insufficient strength! Although I am weak, I also have dignity!" Tom said gritting his teeth.

Li Weide touched his chin.

Now it can be confirmed that Tom has indeed developed some PTSD due to his own behavior.

In fact, Li Weide had no intention of testing anyone. He just wanted to pass the level without any damage.

But... it's hard to refuse this kindness. I would feel guilty if I didn't fight him. Besides, Tom is not in the right state of mind right now. Maybe he can't use the complete Cruciatus Curse...

Thinking of this, Li Wei De smiled and raised his wand, "In that case, then well, I'll start on the count of three, and you get ready."

Tom took a deep breath, "Come on! Count!"

"Okay... Three! Crucio!"

"Ah!" Tom fell to the ground, curled up like a shrimp, and then rolled over in pain!
You bastard... we agreed to count to three...

And just when Tom was in pain, strands of red lightning were sucked out of Tom's body and fell on the black door!
The next second, the spell "Crucio!" carved on the ground suddenly emitted a red light, and then the black door was opened!
After a long while, Tom finally climbed up with difficulty.

"I...now I know what it feels like to be living a life worse than death..." Tom said in a hoarse voice.

"So... Tom, after experiencing the black magic yourself, do you have any new insights into it?" Li Weide suddenly asked.

Tom remained silent for a long time, then turned his head and looked at the skeleton over there...

"If I say... I don't want to use black magic anymore, would you believe me?"
