Hogwarts: This Dark Lord is so evil.

Chapter 248: A basilisk breeding farm? Do you think this is a pig farm?
The development prospects of combat puppets frightened Tom.

"If you can create an army of combat puppets, it will not be difficult to conquer the whole world. Maybe... you won't even need to promote any new ideas..." Tom couldn't help but say.

"Tom, you have fallen into your old habit again. You can't rule for long if you only use violence," Livid said. "Besides, how do you know if there will be other geniuses who will rise up in the future and use the same violence to overturn all the order we have worked so hard to establish?"

Tom narrowed his eyes and said, "So, you don't deny at all that your combat puppet has the ability to rule the world, right?"

"This is not the point, Tom. Governing the world is much more difficult than conquering it. Okay, let's not talk about this. You only have one task now, and that is to constantly arm your mind with knowledge... At the same time, you must possess strong magical powers." Li Weide ended the topic.

"Okay, then I'll go to the club activities. And tell everyone you don't have time to come." Tom stood up.

"Wait..." Levid asked Tom to wait for a moment, then he took out a green wizard robe from the cabinet next to him and handed it to him.

"What does this mean?" Tom took the wizard robe puzzledly, only to feel it was cold to the touch.

"I forgot to give you a gift for Christmas. This piece of clothing is made of basilisk skin and scales. I'll give it to you." Li Weide said casually.

"Basilisk skin?" Upon hearing this, Tom pulled the wizard robe in his hand hard. Sure enough, the toughness of this robe was far beyond his imagination.

"All right." Tom rolled up his robe and prepared to leave.

"Wait." Li Weide called Tom again.

"What's wrong? I don't have any gift for you. Even if you asked me for one, I would have to spend some time preparing it." Tom frowned.

"No, I want you to put it on now." Levid said, taking out his wand from his pocket.

Tom narrowed his eyes slightly, "Something's wrong with you, Wade... You're asking me to put it on now, and you're even taking out your wand... Are you planning to ask me to help you test the magic defense of this suit?"

"Since you have guessed it, why don't you put it on quickly? I have told you so much just now, and it was not in vain!" Li Weide waved the wand in his hand and said with a smile.

"Fuck... I haven't offended you recently, have I?" Tom said as he frantically recalled in his mind all the things he might have done to offend Li Weide recently.

"Tom, think about it, I'm the only one in the whole society who is researching new things... You have to make some contribution, right?" Li Weide still had a gentle smile on his face.

"I knew your things weren't that easy to get!" Tom put on the wizard robe angrily.

The wizard robe made of snake skin is very light, and the pockets in the robe are equipped with traceless stretching spells, which should be very convenient for taking out props or weapons during combat.

If Tom hadn't been forced to be a target, he would really like this robe, but now... Li Weide! Why did you catch me alone and beat me up?

After a while...

"bump!"

Tom screamed and flew backwards.

However, after the wall was installed, Tom's screaming stopped because he found that he could not feel the pain of the curse at all.

Tom quickly looked at the wizard robe on his body.

I saw a white spot on the robe, and the white spot was slowly recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"It seems that the effect is quite good. Even after being hit by an explosive spell, it is almost unharmed." Levid came over and took a look, with a satisfied smile on his face. He had added a lot of protective magic to the snake skin.

"Indeed..." Although Tom was dissatisfied with Levitra using him as a target, he had to admit that the robe was indeed very good.

"Wait...you just said Exploding Curse? You're going to use the Exploding Curse to blow me up?!" Tom's face turned pale.

"Don't worry about these details, Tom... Oh, the basilisk is really full of treasures... Okay, from now on, our team's combat uniforms will be made of basilisk skin." Li Weide said with a smile.

"Although the basilisk skin is good, but... I remember that you and Professor Slughorn divided up the basilisk's body. Did you get the entire basilisk skin?"

"Not really, I took half, a very big half." Li Weide said.

"Even if you divided it into a very large half, if you use it all to make combat uniforms, it still shouldn't be enough, right?" Tom asked with a frown.

"Of course that's not enough! How big can a snake be?" Li Weide shook his head.

"Then how do you arm everyone?" Tom thought Levitra's words were fantastic.

"So...Tom!" Li Weide patted Tom's shoulder solemnly, "I have a very important task for you!"

"What mission?" Tom suddenly had a bad feeling. "You are the only Parseltongue among us, and you can command snakes! So... you can help us raise some basilisks." Levid said with a smile.

Tom jumped up. "Do you want to listen to what you are saying? How is this possible? That's a basilisk! You want me to raise a basilisk? Do you think this is raising a pig? I can't raise a pig at all!"

"Tom, you are also a Parseltongue, and Slytherin is also a Parseltongue. There is no reason why he can do it but you can't. In my opinion, your talent is no worse than Slytherin's." Levid continued to persuade.

"No, no! Even if I am willing to raise it, I don't know how to raise a basilisk, so I can't do it at all!" Tom shook his head like a rattle.

To be honest, Tom is now somewhat psychologically afraid of the basilisk. Anyone it glares at will die. It is too dangerous!
What if I accidentally look at the snake monster I raise? Wouldn’t that be the end of me?
"Oh, what a coincidence, isn't it? In the Slytherin study, there are detailed records on how to raise a basilisk! I wrote it down." Levid excitedly stuffed a stack of manuscripts into Tom's hands.

Tom looked at the manuscript in his hand and was dumbfounded. "Okay... After all this time, you came prepared..."

I couldn't refuse, I really couldn't refuse...Tom had no choice but to open the manuscript in front of him with mixed feelings.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up. "Even if we have a way, we don't have the conditions! At least, we don't have the materials! I have never seen a rooster egg before!"

To hatch a basilisk, the first step is to find a rooster egg and a toad.

Toads are easy to find, but how do you find rooster eggs?
Roosters don't lay eggs! God knows how Slytherin found rooster eggs back then!

I think it must have taken a lot of effort, otherwise Slytherin might have left behind more than just one basilisk.

"Muggles really have no way, but...Tom, we are wizards. Not to mention asking roosters to lay eggs, it is not impossible to ask humans to lay eggs." Levid said with a smile.

"Damn it, you're just whispering the devil!" Young Tom was frightened by Levi's perverted smile.

……

"God damn it! This is impossible!"

In the Chamber of Secrets, Slytherin made an explosion.

"That's a basilisk! Even people like me think basilisks are dark! But you want to turn basilisk breeding into a farming industry?"

Slytherin just felt that Levitra was daydreaming.

Li Weide shook his head and said, "You are too one-sided. The basilisk is indeed dark and dangerous, but you can't just see its dark and dangerous side! Let alone other materials, just talking about the basilisk's venom, who would have thought that this corrosive and deadly venom, after replacing ordinary snake venom, can actually be boiled into a more powerful recovery potion? If we can raise some of this, then we will have more and more powerful recovery potions in our team in the future! This can greatly increase our comrades' ability to 'continue fighting'!"

"So you want to raise a basilisk like a pig?" Slytherin sneered. "Have you ever thought about this question? The reason why the material on the basilisk you killed has such a great effect is probably because it is nearly a thousand years old?"

Li Weide said: "I have indeed thought about this issue. However, even if the venom of the bred snake monster is not as effective due to age, it is not a big deal. Even if the venom is not so effective, the recovery potion made from it will definitely be much better than the ordinary recovery potion now. Moreover, you have not done any experiments in this regard... What if the age problem does not cause the efficacy to decrease? Wouldn't we make a lot of money then? Moreover... As an old researcher with great curiosity about the world, aren't you curious about this at all?"

Slytherin said helplessly, "Okay! Even if what you said is right! Let's take a step back and say that I want to help you turn raising basilisks into a breeding business, but... rooster eggs that breed basilisks are not so easy to find! It took me nearly ten years to find one! I know what you want to say... But what I want to tell you is that rooster eggs catalyzed by magic cannot be hatched! Because they are eggs produced by magic, not eggs bred by the rooster itself! Otherwise, why would I have searched for ten years?"

Li Weide stroked his chin and pondered, "Does it have to be the rooster that lays the egg?"

"Roosters produce and breed on their own... Of course, they can't give birth, so they can only rely on wizards to find them. Once they find such an alien, they will break open the rooster's stomach and dig it out." Slytherin added.

"Tsk tsk, you were able to find it even like this..." Li Weide exclaimed in amazement.

"It's difficult... I raised chickens for nearly ten years in order to find an alternative rooster that could lay eggs! You still want to develop the basilisk breeding industry? Go raise chickens first!" said Slytherin.

"Do I have to be a professional chicken farmer first? No, I don't have that much time." Li Weide shook his head decisively. "Since you said you want the rooster to be raised by itself... then I will do a small sex change operation on the rooster, and then..."

"I've tried it a long time ago. It's useless." Slytherin continued to pour cold water on him.

"So...what if I use the potion to temporarily turn the rooster into a hen, and then turn it back when it's about to lay eggs?"

"Ha! Of course you can, but where can you find such a potion?"

Li Weide grinned, "I really do!"

At this moment, he remembered a recipe in the magic potion recipe book given by the system.

"How is this possible?" Slytherin looked at Levid suspiciously.

"Okay, I've figured out a solution. Goodbye." Li Weide turned and left.

Slytherin was furious. He didn't need his help and just turned around and left, right? This kid was really realistic!
But...I seemed to be like this back then? Thinking of this, Slytherin suddenly understood why some people hated him so much back then...
