Hogwarts: This Dark Lord is so evil.

Chapter 579 Teacher, I... am actually an ancient sage!
What is the power of rules?
That is the universal truth of how this world works. Everything in this world has the power of rules, but most people cannot perceive this power; they can only see its outward manifestations...

To put it more simply, many people's common sense in life is based on rules.

People are used to things falling down, water evaporating, and fire heating things up...

These rules vary greatly, both large and small.

But these things all have one thing in common: they are things that people take for granted and that have existed since ancient times.

Therefore, when Li Weide put the soul cloak back on using the power of the rules, the imposter Grim Reaper would be absolutely unable to detect his abnormality.

Even if that madman were there in person, it would be difficult for him to see through it without careful observation.

Because Li Weide was disguised using inconspicuous rule power.

Without knowing that Li Weide had fully mastered the correct use of ancient magic, it would be difficult for them to tell.

Similarly, Li Weide can now finally use the power of ancient magic to carry out his plans without fear of being seen through.

This is why Li Weide said that he finally had a glimmer of hope... a glimmer of hope to resist...

Perhaps the Li Weide who gave Li Weide the system also reached this level later, but he realized it a little too late.

The imposter Grim Reaper chose to tell himself earlier that there was only one explanation.

That's because that madman couldn't wait any longer...

He was running out of patience, and Li Weide could understand that feeling very well.

It's like a grind-heavy simulation game; raising each Li Weide character requires a huge amount of time and effort.

Therefore, when it came to the last one... that is, himself, he chose to send out that fake Grim Reaper to "guide" him to become stronger quickly.

But haste makes waste. His attempt to force growth by having a fake Grim Reaper force things to develop backfired, revealing his weakness!

If he remains patient and doesn't allow the imposter Grim Reaper to interfere, he might actually be in real danger without knowing it.

At most, he only went a little further than Li Weide, who developed the system.

……

At noon, all four students got out of the carriage.

Although they had double the homework today, the four of them were incredibly motivated amidst their joy and sorrow, and managed to finish their assignments in the shortest amount of time.

The reason is actually quite simple: after experiencing this incident where their teacher seemed to come back to life, they cherished the teacher's existence even more.

People only realize the value of what they have after they have lost it... that's roughly the case.

"Teacher, I'll go cook." Hufflepuff said as she returned to the carriage and brought out some kitchen utensils.

Sometimes, cooking in an outdoor kitchen can be quite enjoyable.

Slytherin stared in astonishment at the small tree standing amidst the pile of embers.

He clearly remembered that there weren't any trees here before! Isn't this the place where they were preparing to cremate their teacher?

However, Li Weide was sitting on a wooden stump contemplating life, and he mistakenly thought that his teacher was still angry, so he didn't dare to ask.

After all... Hufflepuff, the teacher's favorite student, greeted him, but he didn't respond, which means he's in a bad mood.

At this moment, Gryffindor and Ravenclaw felt the same way and dared not speak, instead finding something to do.

Li Weide was not angry; he was simply getting used to using the power of ancient magic while in disguise.

After all, all the magic in his body has now been converted into ancient magic. If he doesn't adapt properly, it will be easy for him to give himself away.

Just as he finally figured out how to disguise the ancient magical power in his body as ordinary magic, he suddenly heard the neighing of horses not far away.

Li Weide raised an eyebrow slightly, because he had actually discerned a meaning from the neighing of the horses...

He turned his head and saw Gryffindor feeding the horses.

But the horse not only refused to eat, it kept neighing, leaving Gryffindor completely baffled.

“Godrick, go check on the back of the horse. He says his butt is itchy,” Li Weide suddenly said.

Upon hearing this, Gryffindor immediately ran to the back of the horse to look, and sure enough, he saw a large, satiated worm that even the horse's tail couldn't shoo away...

Gryffindor quickly removed the insects, and the previously restless horse gradually calmed down, lowering its head to slowly graze, though it still seemed somewhat unsettled.

Li Weide walked over with his wand, touched the spot that had been bitten by the insect, and it was instantly healed.

The horse neighed, turned around, and nuzzled Li Weide with its massive head before finally settling down and slowly munching on its fodder.

Gryffindor wasn't too surprised, because he had always known that his teacher could understand animal speech.

But Li Weide himself was somewhat surprised.

Because he was able to understand animal speech before, it was through a technique...

But now, he didn't use any tricks, as if he could understand it all along!
The power of rules... Does this mean turning oneself into a part of the world's rules?

He can see all the rules, so he can understand what others can't. Similarly, he can certainly see what others can't see...

Is this ancient magic? Is this the power of the gods?
To be honest, it wasn't as powerful as Li Weide had imagined, but that was to be expected.

He has only touched upon the authority of God in a slight way, and is far from reaching that level...

One obtained the right to use it, while the other truly seized ownership!

No wonder that madman couldn't defeat a true god; the possessor can restrict the other's right to use it...

Everyone is equal before the rules, so it's no wonder that after Death was tricked by that madman using the rules, he had to bow down to the rules and was completely powerless against him.

Li Weide is now really curious about how that madman managed to fool a god...

Of course, if Grindelwald were here, he would have something to say: "Wouldn't you like to see how you fooled Dumbledore and everyone else?"

Suddenly, Ravenclaw's white eagle, Mina, landed on a nearby branch and let out a few powerful cries.

Gryffindor only heard the hawk's cacophony, but Livid heard it speaking.

"You big dumb horse! I can fly, but you can't!"

The horse raised its head and neighed. It couldn't understand the white eagle's words either, and only felt that the bird's call was a bit noisy.

Li Weide had a sudden thought, and leaned down to whisper in the horse's ear, "The bird said you can't fly, it can fly."

Just as expected, the horse seemed to understand Li Weide's words, raising its head and neighing. "I can run, you can't."

Li Weide translated it literally.

The white eagle seemed to pause for a moment, then continued to cry out, its voice growing louder and louder.

"I can fly! I can fly very fast! Very high!"

"I can run, I can run very fast! And very far!"

Li Weide, in high spirits, enthusiastically translated for them, which led to a scene that had never happened before in thousands of years...

An eagle and a horse are arguing...

Soon, another horse joined the battle!

Li Weide was enthusiastically translating, but he was dumbfounded by the four students who were busy with their own things not far away.

“Oh no… this fire has messed up the teacher’s head…” Gryffindor was as outspoken as ever.

“Nonsense!” Ravenclaw objected. “The fire didn’t hurt the teacher at all! How could it have caused any problems?”

“That makes sense…” Gryffindor said, scratching his head.

“If you really want to say something, it was the smoke that made him sick,” Ravenclaw added.

Slytherin looked at the two of them as if they were fools. Is it really okay for you to be plotting so loudly?
The horse was ultimately just a wild horse hired by Li Weide halfway through the journey. It hadn't seen much of the world, and as an ordinary horse, its intelligence was far inferior to that of the special breed of white eagle.

In addition, White Hawk comes from the Ravenclaw family and is a worldly person.

So, in the end, the two horses were driven to their knees by the white eagle's insults.

The white eagle, strutting around like a victorious general, flew back to Ravenclaw's shoulder, proudly nuzzling against him as if seeking credit and asking for food.

Li Weide could only try to calm the two defeated horses.

"I want to fly too," said the horse.

“I want to fly faster and higher than that guy,” the other horse said dejectedly.

“You want to fly too? I can help you,” Li Weide said cheerfully.

Not far away, Gryffindor couldn't help but cover his forehead and mutter, "Oh no... the teacher might really have been driven mad by the smoke."

“Stupid lion…” Slytherin glared at Gryffindor. In his opinion, every action of the teacher must have a deeper meaning. If we don’t understand it, it’s our problem, not that the teacher has a problem with his brain!
At this moment, Li Weide seemed not to hear what the students were saying over there; he was only listening to the neighing of the two horses.

"Since you've both made up your minds, I'm happy to help you. So... are you ready?"

The two horses neighed again.

Li Weide nodded, said nothing more, and stretched out his hands to place them on the backs of the two horses.

The next second, streaks of green light enveloped the two horses.

In an instant, a white light suddenly shone brightly!
All four students couldn't help but close their eyes.

"Xilulu!"

Soon, they heard the horses neighing again.

But this time, the horse's neighing was even louder than before!
When the bright light disappeared and they gradually opened their eyes, they discovered that the two wild horses that were originally gray had now turned into two divine horses with pure white fur!

"Xilulu!"

The two divine steeds neighed loudly once more, spreading their large wings as if eager to leap forward!

Li Weide loosened the reins, and the two divine horses instantly charged forward, disappearing into the woods beside the camp in a flash.

Then, the leaves of the trees were blown away, and two snow-white divine horses soared into the sky!

The white eagle let out a strange cry, then took off and gave chase!

The four future giants stared in disbelief at the scene, speechless.

Only Li Weide's hearty laughter remained in the camp...

……

The carriages that were slowly moving on the ground are now flying in the sky...

Ravenclaw knelt on one knee on the chair by the window, staring intently at the clouds outside.

The other three had almost the same look.

“Too high…” Ravenclaw murmured, “Higher than any flying broom I’ve ever used before…”

“I’ve heard that wizards across the Channel have tamed rune horses and used them to pull carriages. But…” Slytherin turned his head, looking at Livid with fervent eyes.

“But these two horses were just ordinary horses before…Teacher, how did you turn them into divine horses? Could it be that they were always divine horses?” Gryffindor still couldn’t figure it out.

He had been taking care of those two horses, so how could he not know whether they were divine talisman horses?

That's why he was the one with the biggest reaction among the four.

Li Weide glanced at the four men's gazes and a mysterious smile appeared on his face.

"This is a very profound form of magic..."

"Teacher, can you teach us this magic?" Slytherin asked impatiently. "From my examination, the transformation of these two horses is not a transformation spell, but rather... they have truly become another species, inside and out!"

Just as Li Wade was about to speak, a thought suddenly struck him. He remembered what had happened in his later life when he first encountered the ghost of Slytherin.

Slytherin said that each generation of ancient magical talents was called an Ancient Sage, and that they all had a great mission...

Thinking of this, Li Weide silently changed what he was about to say.

"This is ancient magic... like Parsleyan, it's a powerful talent that you can't learn. Everyone who possesses this talent is called an Ancient Sage, and they all bear a special mission... that is to use their abilities to make this world a better place. Every generation that possesses the talent of ancient magic will pass on this mission. In this way, generation after generation, the world will eventually become the best it can be..."

Upon hearing this, all four students instantly remembered the ideals their teacher had told them, and suddenly realized the truth!

Yes, the teacher's approach is to pass on magical knowledge! To make the once desolate magical world a better place!
Once he has fulfilled this ideal, he will pass on the mission to the next gifted ancient magician! And then, generation after generation, they will strive for a better world...

Seeing the others' expressions of sudden realization, Li Weide couldn't help but touch his fake beard.

Unexpectedly, what the Slytherin ghost told him back then has come true today...
