Hogwarts: This Dark Lord is so evil.

Chapter 40: The Unowned Wizard Tower
The bright moonlight shone through the window onto Tom's face.

Li Weide poked his face with his hand, but Tom didn't respond.

"Toby added a drop of the Living Hell Potion to Master Tom's midnight snack as Master Wade instructed. He won't wake up until daybreak."

Toby's shrill voice came softly from behind him.

The Potion of the Living Hell is an extremely powerful sleeping pill, also known as the Water of Life and Death. Just a small drop can put a wizard into a deep sleep.

Li Weide opened Tom's eyelids and looked at his pupils again. After confirming that he had fallen into a deep sleep, he nodded with satisfaction.

"Very good, this is the effect we want. Then... we can now talk about some secrets that only the two of us know." Li Weide's expression became serious.

Toby swallowed timidly, "What does Master Wade want to ask Toby?"

"Toby, can you tell me about the family you served before?" Li Weide asked.

Toby was slightly stunned when he heard this question.

"Toby... Toby's former master's family was the Somnolen family. The last heir of the Somnolen family, Master Sophik... Toby's former master, died in a duel not long ago..."

Li Weide frowned.

Somnolen... a very unfamiliar last name.

He had never heard of this family before.

Li Weide couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. This was a family he had never heard of, and their bloodline had been completely cut off. This meant that this family might not have a deep foundation.

He had been thinking that since Toby's previous master was a dark wizard and there was no one left in the entire family, he might be able to go investigate.

See if I can find some books or notes that Dumbledore doesn't allow me to read...

However, nothing is absolute. Logically speaking, a family that has house-elves serving them should have a very strong foundation.

"Toby, did your previous master leave anything behind?" Levi asked immediately.

"When Toby's previous owner was alive, the family had fallen into decline and all the valuables were sold. Except for an old house, there was nothing left..." Toby said sadly.

In fact, Toby, who had lost his owner, should have stayed in the old house and died quietly. He would never run out to find a second owner.

But for some reason, he just wanted to go out for a walk that day, walk a long way, and reminisce about the past and the good times with his master.

Then, because he was too engrossed in his memories, he was accidentally hit by a carriage speeding in the middle of the night.

After being knocked away, he was unlucky enough to fall on the sharp fence nearby, resulting in several puncture wounds on his body.

Finally, he struggled to crawl into an alley, ready to meet the end of his life.

After all, his master was dead, and there was no point in him living.

As a result, when he opened his eyes again, he saw Li Weide, and for some reason, the desire to make him his master was extremely strong...

After that, Li Weide became his current master.

……

When Li Weide heard that the Somnoren family still had an old house left, his eyes lit up.

"Who inherited your former master's old house?"

"There is no one to inherit... Master Sophik is the last bloodline of the Somnoren family, and he doesn't even have distant relatives." Toby sobbed sadly again.

"In other words, the old house is ownerless?"

"Yes... Ever since Master Sophic died in the war, the poor old house, like poor Toby, has been ownerless... Now Toby has a new owner, so there is no way to go back and take care of the old house. The poor old house can only be abandoned..."

Toby thought of the place where he used to live, which was becoming more and more desolate, and he couldn't help feeling sad again.

Li Weide waved his hand to stop Toby's tears and asked very seriously: "Can I be the new owner of this house?"

Toby's eyes widened in surprise. "Master Wade...you...you are willing to take over that old house? Of course you can become the new owner of that house!"

"You seem to be happy that I accept that house?" Levi looked at Toby with some surprise.

"Yes... Toby's previous owner has passed away. The old house retains Toby's best memories from the past. Toby really doesn't want to see it go to waste. If Master Wade is willing to take over... Toby can maintain the old house again!" "So that's how it is..."

Although Toby is a house-elf purchased by Levitra from the system, he is an independent living being.

He has his own past and his own beautiful memories, and those beautiful memories are in that old house.

Only after Levi took over the old house, Toby, with a new owner, had the right to return to the old house.

However, this is a good thing for Li Weide who has been freed from the constraints of his guardian.

He had originally planned to find a secret base where he could carry out the little experiments he had planned.

Now this old house can only be said to have come at the right time.

"Can you take me to see it now?" Li Weide was already impatient to go and have a look.

"Of course! Of course you can! However, there are some protective magics set up outside the old house, Master Wade must be careful..."

Toby extended his hand only after he told Li Weide how to enter the old house.

"Please hold Toby's hand. Toby will take Master Wade to the old house now!"

……

Looking at the familiar castle in the distance, Li Weide felt a little emotional.

This old house is actually in the Scottish Highlands.

You can even see Hogwarts from a distance...

Judging from the distance and direction, this old house seems to be built on a high ground deep in the forbidden forest.

However, this high ground is covered with various protective magics, so that it is impossible to detect from outside that there is a high ground here, and there is an old house on the high ground.

Li Weide turned his head and looked at the building covered with green vines in front of him...

In fact, the old house in front of him that Toby mentioned should be called a tower.

This is a tower that appears to have five floors.

"Ccrunch! Crunch!"

At this time, Toby had already opened the door of the tower with excitement on his face.

"Master Wade, please come in!"

Most of the tower's protective magic is on the outside.

In the tower, there is no protective magic.

As soon as Levid walked into the door, he found that the space inside the tower was much larger than it looked from the outside. He thought that it must have been cast with magic such as the Traceless Extension Spell to expand the space.

However, although the first floor is large enough, it is empty.

There was only a long, dirty table in the middle, littered with empty bottles.

And on the surrounding shelves, which were supposed to store various experimental materials, there was nothing but dust.

Li Weide could tell from the traces on the ground around him that there must have been a lot of instruments of unknown purpose placed here.

But now they are all gone.

……

"The first floor is the laboratory, the second floor is the bedroom and dining room, the third and fourth floors are for storing books, and the fifth floor is for stargazing... As the family fell into poverty, Master Sophik sold everything that could be sold after inheriting the old house, leaving nothing valuable... At that time, Toby was too sad and didn't have the mood to clean up the house, so it looks so messy..."

As soon as Toby entered the door, he began to chatter about the old house he mentioned.

But Li Weide immediately heard the key point in this sentence.

"Wait, you just said that the third and fourth floors are where books are stored? Have those books... also been sold?"
