Hogwarts: This Dark Lord is so evil.

Chapter 572 Tom! You're a fucking genius!

Li Weide wanted to say something more, but Miravia stopped him.

“You know I’m the only one who understands the laws of the dead. If you can’t convince me, I won’t help you,” Miravia said firmly.

Li Weide is gambling with his life; it's no different from suicide!
No one's luck can last forever...

Gamblers will eventually die because of gambling.

As Li Weide's friend, she couldn't just stand by and watch this guy risk his life time and time again.

“Milavia, you’re mistaken. While you may not be able to summon me back with 100% certainty, I am absolutely confident that I can return to the human world after I’ve finished my business,” Li Weide said helplessly.

"Ha, starting to lie." Tom crossed his arms and shrugged, sneering, "This feels all too familiar, Wade."

Miravia looked at Li Weide with distrust. "Don't try to fool me, Weide. You're going to live... To put it bluntly, everyone here can die, but you can't. Don't forget all the effort you've put in... Are you willing to let all that effort collapse because of your death?"

Tom's lips parted slightly, as if he really didn't want to die, but in the end he didn't refute it.

It's just talk, it's not like it's going to kill him right now, why take it so seriously?

Li Weide really wanted to emphasize that what he said was true, that there was a law of life and a magic stone, and that he really couldn't die.

But he also knew that no matter what he said now, they wouldn't believe him.

“Sigh… I have to do something…” Li Weide sighed.

“Wade, you’ve done enough. Whatever the final outcome…we have no regrets.”

Seeing Miravia's serious expression, Li Weide shrugged helplessly. "Well... it's just a minor move anyway."

“If it were me, even if I could go back 100% of the time, I wouldn’t go to the world of the dead,” Tom shook his head and said. “I really don’t know what you’re thinking.”

"You're 100% sure you can make it back and forth, why don't you go take a look?" Li Weide looked at him in surprise.

"What? Since that Grim Reaper can control most of the power of the laws of the dead, and even seems to have imprisoned or hindered the real Grim Reaper, then it's likely that the world of the dead is now under her control. If you rashly go in, you might be discovered in the very first second. What's the point of you going to the world of the dead if you're just alerting her?"

When Tom saw that Levi had decided to stop going crazy, his intelligence once again prevailed.

This greatly surprised Li Weide.

“You’re right, Tom. I certainly didn’t think things through,” Li Weide sighed.

“You’re just too hasty and putting too much pressure on yourself… Have you thought about telling a few people you trust about these things? If you can tell Tom, you can definitely tell others… You can’t keep carrying this all by yourself,” Miravia suggested.

“I have indeed thought about that, but before informing others, we need to find a safe way to avoid the Grim Reaper’s watchful eye. Until then, you all need to keep this a secret… If all else fails, I’ll have to take the risk and quietly bring them in one by one to explain the situation.”

“Let’s decide on that… Alright, I’ve been here long enough, it’s time to leave. I’ll leave my memories here, I won’t take them with me,” Miravia said.

"Well, what a pity... If I could have encountered the real Grim Reaper, I could have solved a lot of problems..." Li Weide still regretted his earlier adventurous plan.

Tom, standing beside him, pondered for a moment, then said hesitantly, "Perhaps... if we want to see the real Grim Reaper, we don't necessarily have to go to the world of the dead."

"Oh?" Li Weide's eyes lit up as well. Tom's reminder sparked a flash of inspiration in his mind.

"What do you mean?" Miravia, puzzled, quickly asked Tom.

Tom shrugged. "Death might have come to the human world. Honestly, if you were Death, with the power of a god, would you stay in one place forever? If it were me, I would definitely be wandering around... So, I don't think the real Death would stay in the world of the dead forever; that would be too boring."

“That makes sense!” Miravia exclaimed in delight. “But… how do we meet Death in the human world?”

Tom shook his head. "I don't know about that. We'll have to leave it to Wade... He always has a way, right? Hmm... You can summon the dead and stuff, maybe you can summon Death right in front of you? Haha, I'm just kidding..."

However, no sooner had Tom finished his joke than he noticed that both Levi and Miravia were staring intently at him.

"Huh? You guys..."

Li Weide slapped Tom on the shoulders and laughed loudly, "Tom! You're a fucking genius! I bet your IQ is over 175!"

Tom was surprised by Lee Wade's reaction. "No... I was just saying. This is completely impossible! Isn't it said that the real Grim Reaper might already be trapped? How would you summon him?"

“Death may indeed be trapped right now, or as you said, he just happened to be out, which is why he was impersonated… But whatever it is, there has to be a beginning,” Li Weide pondered.

"You mean... go back to a parallel universe before Death was trapped, and see Death one last time?" Tom frowned.

"That's exactly what I think..."

"But how can you be sure when it started?" Tom was already confused.

“Of course I have a way to confirm it,” Li Weide smiled. “All it takes is a small excuse… an excuse that I want to improve my strength…”

Li Weide and Miravia quickly left the small space, leaving Tom alone.

Tom and Li Wade's clone stared at each other for a long while. After a while, Tom strode towards the portal.

"You imposter, just you wait, I'll beat you sooner or later!" Tom said, striding into the portal to continue his journey to other parallel worlds to gain experience points.

……

Li Weide sat down on the sofa and poured himself and the empty seat opposite him a delicious Hufflepuff cocktail.

"Ahem..." Li Weide cleared his throat and then said to the air, "Lord Death, I wonder if you are here?"

The next second, that familiar, beautiful figure appeared in the empty seat opposite.

"What do you want?" Death picked up his drink, took a small sip, and his left leg, which had been resting on his right thigh, emerged from his robe...

Nice legs...

"I want to ask you to help me become stronger. You know, my current rate of improvement is still too slow," Li Weide said urgently.

"Oh? I remember last time, you weren't in a hurry, were you? Why are you suddenly in such a hurry now?" Death put down his drink and looked at Li Weide quietly.

“I never said I wasn’t in a hurry, that I just wanted to relax for a while… The burden on my shoulders is almost suffocating me. You know, I’m still very young, but I don’t even have an elder to share the pressure with… I can only pretend to be confident.” Li Weide began to complain.

“But I can’t help you become stronger, Vader. You need to rely on yourself,” Death said solemnly. “The strength that others give you can’t be your true support.”

"I'm not asking you to directly increase my magic power or anything. I just feel that my current speed is too slow... I need more ancient magic power! As long as I have enough ancient magic power, my improvement speed will be much faster!" Li Weide looked at Death with anticipation in his eyes.

"You mean... you want me to tell you the locations of all the ancient magical hotspots in this world, and then you can go and absorb them?" Death smiled at Li Weide. "That's a bit like cheating, you know?"

“Since you’re willing to help me, why shouldn’t I take the risk? It’s not like I’m asking you to force me to level up; you just need to give me the address!” Li Weide said hurriedly. Death’s finger rested on the cup, tapping it lightly. “Alright…you have a point. Anyway, I’ve already decided to give you some help.”

"That's wonderful!" Li Weide said happily.

"However, you should be prepared, there aren't many hotspots left in this world," Death said regretfully.

"It's alright, Lord Death." Li Weide smiled slightly, showing no sign of frustration.

"Hmm? There aren't many hot topics, which isn't a good thing, but you don't seem too disappointed?" Death asked in confusion.

"Because my goal is not just about the hot spots in this world... If it were just about the hot spots in this world, I wouldn't need to find you at all. I am now rich and powerful... It would be very easy for me to find some special locations."

"Ah...so you little rascal, you're planning to seize all the hotspots in other parallel worlds for yourself." Death laughed. "I must say, you're quite ambitious."

“Our world is about to be destroyed, why bother with anything else?” Li Weide said with dissatisfaction. “Anyway, other parallel worlds wouldn’t need so many hotspots, so I might as well absorb them. Our world desperately needs this kind of power!”

"Alright, I promise you." Death seemed very pleased with Li Weide's eagerness to improve himself.

“There are countless parallel worlds, and I hope to bring Miravia and Caroline along as well. You know, more ancient magical power can help them awaken new laws and master existing laws more quickly…” Li Weide suggested adding Miravia and her parallel counterpart, Caroline.

“That makes perfect sense,” Death nodded.

Besides Li Weide, only these two people in this world possess the talent for ancient magic. It's perfectly normal for Li Weide to want them to improve their strength with him.

"When you're ready, go to the portal. Once you're in the parallel world, call for me, and I'll appear and tell you the hotspot location of that world," Death said.

"Okay! Thanks!" Li Weide said happily.

This is exactly what he wanted to see!

Ancient magic is a hot topic, that's completely unimportant!

All you need to do is keep pushing the timeline of the parallel worlds you travel to forward, and then summon the Grim Reaper each time.

Until a certain point in time, after calling upon Death, she did not appear... that proves that the true Death of that era had not yet been trapped.

Li Weide could then use the portal in the small space to return to the time before that point in time, and then find a way to summon the real Grim Reaper!

If this Grim Reaper is a fake, Li Weide doesn't believe she would dare to impersonate him while the real Grim Reaper is still around!
You can always find out by testing!

……

In a new parallel world, Li Weide summons the Grim Reaper.

"This seems to be a parallel world from a hundred years ago..." The Grim Reaper immediately sensed something was wrong when he appeared.

"Yes! The further back in time, the less the power of the hot spots dissipates! And... I also want to see what the world was like in the past, and then copy down some magic and technology that have been lost in modern times. Of course, it would be even better if I could find some magical animals and plants that have been extinct in modern times."

Li Weide's reasons are impeccable; everything he does is to enhance his own and the world's strength.

Death accepted his explanation without suspicion, and after disappearing for a moment, brought Li Weide a map with all the hotspot locations marked in detail.

Li Weide gladly accepted the map, then pulled out Hydra's latest flying device... a motorhome.

"boom!"

The RV carrying Li Weide and the other two soared into the sky and disappeared into the horizon in an instant.

Death silently watched the direction they left in, then vanished into thin air like a gust of wind...

……

time flies……

Inside the RV, Li Weide was leaning against the window reading a book, while the white clouds outside were rushing past.

To this day, they have traversed more than ten parallel worlds and experienced ten different eras, some of which they have visited repeatedly.

A period of one hundred years is considered as a stage.

Of course, Li Weide deliberately scrambled the order in which he traveled to different eras, making it seem like he was randomly traversing time...

On the one hand, he didn't want to attract the attention of Death, so that Li Weide's actions would look like he really wanted to improve his strength while also taking the opportunity to see the scenery of ancient times and relax.

On the other hand, they can also travel to as many worlds as possible so that Miravia and Caroline can collect more ancient magical power.

As for Li Weide himself, he didn't actually have much of a demand for it. His source of power was no longer ancient magic. With the help of the magic stone, his improvement was much faster than with the help of ancient magic.

If Miravia hadn't insisted, he would have even planned to let them absorb all the key elements of ancient magic.

“This is the second time we’ve come back to a thousand years ago…” Li Weide said, looking at Miravia meaningfully.

Miravia understood his meaning, "Then let's find a place to land, and then summon Death."

This is indeed their second time traveling back a thousand years. The last time they were transported to a thousand years ago, the Grim Reaper couldn't be summoned...

To prevent any accidents, they plan to test it several more times.

So, Li Weide and his companions returned to the summons of five hundred years ago, and then Death came again.

This is the second time we've traveled back a thousand years. If Death still doesn't appear this time, then we can almost certainly confirm Li Weide's guess.

If Death exists, she must have lived for countless years and have insight into the past and future.

If that's the case, then there can't possibly be an era that she couldn't sense.

"Wouldn't we..." Miravia gestured, wanting to ask Li Weide if we would alert the enemy.

Li Weide understood what she meant, but he didn't say anything; he just smiled and shook his head.

He travels through time and space randomly, and Death would only consider this loss of contact to be unintentional. Theoretically, there is no possibility of alerting him.

Caroline frowned as she watched her parallel universe counterpart flirting with Levi.

How do you guys know what the other person is thinking just by blinking?! Just tell us! And there's one person here who can't read eye contact at all!

And... it's really weird to see another version of myself flirting with a guy!

Can you guys please be more mindful? I'm right next to you!
