Hogwarts: This Dark Lord is so evil.

Chapter 556 Oh no! The pen for acceptance is smoking from writing!

When Tom arrived at Levi's house.

Li Weide showed no surprise whatsoever, and even calmly poured him a cup of tea.

"You knew I was coming all along?" Tom sat down on the sofa, picked up his tea, and gulped it down.

“Of course, if you notice anything unusual, you’ll definitely come to me.” Li Weide picked up a biscuit and took a bite.

"How did you do that? I... I discovered today that my father can also use magic!" Tom said, frowning.

Although Li Weide had told him before that he wanted to turn everyone into wizards, he really couldn't figure out how to make everyone in the world change collectively.

Even if it's a virus, it can't spread that fast, right?

"Nothing special... No matter where you are, even in a desert region, a light rain won't attract much attention. At most, people might find it a little strange... Compared to the anomalies that happened later, these are nothing," Li Weide said calmly, taking a sip of tea.

"It's raining..." Tom suddenly understood.

This can indeed be achieved by hiding the virus in rainwater.

Even if you don't go out and don't get caught in the rain, you still need to drink water... and as long as you drink water, you're bound to catch a cold.

“So it seems you’re prepared…” Tom looked at Levi seriously. “Are you sure you can control the situation? Once all those Muggles become wizards… then your Hydra Corporation will face enemies that will change from the Ministries of Magic in various countries to the rulers of all countries! The power of a nation is immense; even a small country can unleash tremendous force, something the wizarding world cannot handle.”

“Yes, that’s true, but… I’ve already made my plans. From now on, the Ministries of Magic in various countries will definitely be in a panic, because the International Law on Secrecy has become a dead letter… All they can do is urgently contact the leaders of their respective countries and tell them the truth. The world will be in chaos for a while,” Li Wade pondered.

"Then how are you going to resolve these disturbances? Once humanity suddenly possesses extraordinary powers that they cannot fully control, there will definitely be huge chaos!" Tom said worriedly.

“Yes… it’s almost time. It’s time for Hydra to step in and help the Ministries of Magic in various countries stabilize the situation… Don’t worry, I’ve arranged everything.” Li Wade said calmly, “We’ve made a great deal of preparation for this day…”

"So, have you solved the resource problem I mentioned before? With so many wizards suddenly appearing, magical materials will become extremely scarce!" Tom said worriedly.

"Tom...didn't I just say that it's rained a few times all over the world...Do you think that only humans get wet in the rain?"

Upon hearing this, Tom stood up in shock. "You mean... all those flowers, plants, animals, and stuff have turned into magical creatures and plants?"

“Of course, the whole world evolves together. With the help of Hydra’s various divisions, resources won’t easily become scarce,” Li Weide replied calmly.

“Okay, let’s assume you’ve considered all of this, but… how are you going to solve the problem with the governments of various countries? Although they don’t understand these supernatural powers at first and will rely on the help of the wizarding world, once they understand the power of magic, won’t they abandon the wizarding world and then turn against us…” Tom swallowed hard with some fear.

“The wizarding world?” Li Wade laughed. “By then, everyone will be a wizard, so what wizarding world will there be? As for the national power of various countries… by the time they fully understand the power of magic, guess how far my Hydra Corporation will have infiltrated? People… whether Muggles or wizards, are all driven by self-interest and avoidance of harm. As long as we offer enough incentives and do things that benefit all living beings, the vast majority of people will support us.”

"So how do you plan to solve problems like corruption? Your idea is very idealistic, relying entirely on Hydra's good reputation. What if a bad apple appears?"

“I also took very drastic precautions against this.” Li Weide turned to look at Tom, his eyes shining brightly.

What kind of defense measures?

"With the support of tremendous technological capabilities, we will no longer lack resources, and food, clothing, housing, and transportation will no longer be problems. Under this premise, by assigning dedicated personnel to monitor all officials and adopting a system of high salaries to encourage integrity, we can eliminate the vast majority of violations."

"What if the person in charge of oversight is bribed? As you just said, people are driven by self-interest, and no one can be absolutely trusted."

"But what if the person in charge of oversight isn't a human being?"

"what do you mean?"

"Many things that are very difficult for Muggles are not difficult for wizards. For example, if you want to investigate someone, a Muggle needs very comprehensive evidence and corroboration from all sides, while a wizard only needs a drop of truth serum or a dose of legatomy. We are wizards, so we should try to solve problems from the wizard's perspective."

"So... what you meant when you said the surveillance wasn't human..."

"You've seen my clones, haven't you? Each clone's artificial soul has been imprinted with the company's ideology; I guarantee they're righteously evil... And they're the perfect candidates for my surveillance and intelligence gathering. Besides... you know, without the company's special inspection methods, no one can tell if they're real or clones. The company can create an endless number of these people! I'll distribute them randomly across various departments, and over time, I can also recruit real people... No one outside the company will know their identities. They'll be everywhere—perhaps your best friend, your gardener, your favorite actress, or even your wife..."

Although Levi's tone was calm, it sent a cold sweat down Tom's forehead.

Damn, this is terrifying! This way, the company will know even if those people go to the bathroom a few times at night…

"Wouldn't that be too much of an invasion of privacy?" Tom asked hesitantly.

Li Weide shrugged. "Perhaps... but if you have nothing to hide, what is there to fear? There's an old Chinese saying... 'A clear conscience fears no accusation.' Perhaps this method is a bit crude, but it works."

Even in later generations, there are cameras everywhere. As long as people don't commit crimes, they won't have any impact on them. In fact, the existence of these cameras can deter criminals.

Although it's done like the Embroidered Uniform Guard, as long as no one knows, everything will seem normal.

"So when do you plan to carry out this terrible plan?" Tom felt a little thirsty and wanted to take another sip of tea, but found that the teacup was already empty.

Li Weide smiled, picked up the teapot and poured him another cup of tea. "When will it start? How could you have the misconception that my plan hasn't started yet?"

"You...you started all along!?" Tom's hand trembled, and he almost dropped the cup he had just picked up.

“Otherwise, why do you think I’m so confident?” Li Weide calmly looked at Tom’s expression.

Tom sighed and drank the tea in his cup in one gulp again.

Indeed, if he could think of it himself, how could Li Weide not have thought of it?

“It seems that from now on… the world will enter a new era of civilization where technology and magic coexist…” Tom frowned.

Li Weide also sighed. If it weren't for the calamity that all of humanity would face in the future, he wouldn't have bothered with these things.

Moreover, without the help of Li Weide from another world, without the system... he couldn't have achieved this level of accomplishment.

Those technologies and data from the future are crucial!
It would be impossible for Li Weide to achieve this level of accomplishment on his own.

It could be said that Li Weide was able to accomplish this plan thanks to his accumulated experience over two lifetimes...

He needs to quickly integrate and elevate the power of the entire world!
……

Because of the light rain arranged by Li Weide.

The whole world has descended into chaos...

International secrecy laws became meaningless overnight, leaving magic ministries around the world scrambling to cope.

When everyone was helpless in the face of the chaotic situation.

Hydra Corporation, as planned, gradually intervened to provide assistance...

Immediate results!

Some people who suddenly gained power and wanted to take advantage of the situation to cause trouble were also forcibly suppressed by the powerful armed forces of Hydra.

Some ambitious individuals who wanted to take advantage of the situation were also swiftly dealt with...

All of this is based on the immense power of Hydra Corporation!

This was something the wizarding world simply couldn't accomplish back then. Even if Grindelwald had succeeded, he still couldn't have done it.

After the public's agitated emotions were gradually calmed down, the International Wizarding Federation reluctantly made its final decision. Through Muggle propaganda channels and governments, they announced the existence of the wizarding world to the entire world and completely abolished the international secrecy law, which had become ineffective.

Furthermore, with the assistance of Hydra, countless magic schools were also built.

The power of magic needs to be guided; it can't function without schools.

These schools include those for adults and those for children.

Of course, the original schools were not abolished; instead, magic courses were reintroduced into the children's schools...

As for the teachers... that's easy to solve.

The wizarding world has a huge gap between the rich and the poor because many wizards cannot find work.

They were wizards and possessed magic, which is why they didn't starve to death.

But if you want to buy something, that's quite difficult...

Now, the establishment of these magic schools, and the magic courses they offer, have provided them with ample job opportunities.

Of course, these people alone are far from enough. For other schools that do not have enough teachers, the company sends clones to fill the positions.

The enormous sums of money required to accomplish all of this were provided by Hydra and various governments.

It was only then that people were astonished to discover that Hydra had an unusually large number of wizards!
Of course, this question arises because they are unaware of the existence of clones.

However, given the current situation, even if some discerning individuals see the problem, they cannot stop it from happening.

As for other industries, they also underwent earth-shattering changes due to the sudden appearance of magic...

The most obvious example is the medical industry!
Those disabled people who lost their ability to work due to the war miraculously grew arms and legs again in the magic hospital.

These non-magical injuries are incredibly easy for a wizard to deal with.

As for the terminal illnesses among Muggles, most of them are not a problem for wizards.

The same applies to other industries; many previously unsolvable technological problems have become much simpler with the help of magic...

Through deliberate promotion by certain individuals, the name Hydra gradually gained widespread recognition.

In no time, Hydra's reputation in the Muggle world was growing rapidly!

Everything was proceeding smoothly and according to Li Weide's plan.

The world's previously chaotic order is gradually showing signs of stabilizing...

After all, the world is much more interesting now than it used to be.

……

British Ministry of Magic.

Grindelwald has been working non-stop for seven days and seven nights...

Even if he used the powdered horn of the divine beast to make a drink that could keep him awake for seven days and seven nights, he would still be exhausted.

Who told him to be the Director of Education?

All sorts of miscellaneous tasks, like the newly built magic school, fell to him!
The Education Department, which was originally extremely relaxed, suddenly became incredibly busy!
That damned Li Weide!

Grindelwald finally couldn't take it anymore. He threw down his quill, leaned back in his chair, and stared blankly at the ceiling.

If everyone becomes a wizard, international secrecy laws will be abolished...

What a brilliant tactic... what a brilliant tactic!

but……

He has a problem with it, a very big problem with it!

Forget about being busy, what right do those Muggles, who are born to be ruled by wizards, have to become wizards?!
"Tuk tuk tuk..."

There was a knock on the door.

"Vita, didn't I tell you not to knock? If you need something, just come in..."

Grindelwald looked at the mountain of documents in front of him, and the thought of how much more would be added later made his head spin...

However, the person who entered was not his trusted confidant Vita, but Dumbledore.

Dumbledore's been quite busy lately...

"What brings you here?" Grindelwald asked weakly, his eyes bloodshot.

Dumbledore was also taken aback when he saw Grindelwald's condition.

You look...not quite right?

"Isn't this all thanks to your favorite student?" Grindelwald said resentfully.

"You mean all of this was caused by Wade?" Dumbledore asked.

"Aren't you just asking the obvious? Don't tell me you can't guess! Who else could have caused this situation besides Li Wade? His Hydra company has already infiltrated the upper echelons of the Muggle government! And the way he's handling things is so methodical, it's obvious he's been preparing for a long time! Does Li Wade think everyone is a fool?" Grindelwald said coldly.

"Sigh..." Dumbledore sighed. He didn't know why Livid would do such a thing.

"What brings you here today? Tell me quickly, as you can see, I'm very busy right now..."

"Hmm... the Pen of Acceptance has been writing so much lately that the tip is practically smoking. The number of new names added to the Book of Admission is even more than in the past few centuries... Hogwarts might not be able to accept all the new students next year..."

“Then let’s put it in the new school…and expand Hogwarts Castle as well,” Grindelwald said wearily, rubbing his temples.

"Expand the castle?" Dumbledore hesitated.

"What else can you do? Your students are incredibly talented! This is the trend! Do you really think your Hogwarts can stay out of it and only accept a small number of students? You'd better go back and prepare to recruit a few more professors, otherwise those poor professors might be worked to death..."

"Then which students should I recruit? After all, even if Hogwarts expands further, the number of students it can accommodate is still limited," Dumbledore asked.

"you ask me?"

"You're the Director of Education, who else should I ask if not you?" Dumbledore asked, looking surprised.

Grindelwald stared at Dumbledore for a while, and only after confirming that the other party wasn't deliberately trying to make things difficult for him did he say with a troubled expression, "Hogwarts, as the oldest magic school in England, could indeed be more cautious in its admissions process. For example, it could only admit young wizards with exceptional talent... I'll ask that bastard Levi about the testing methods when I get back. He definitely has the necessary equipment... I bet you, maybe he's already prepared all along! Heaven knows how long that damned little brat has been preparing for today!"
