Hogwarts: I, Tom, am not the Dark Lord

Instead, it became his territory.

The last extraordinary time has not yet arrived, and Tom Fulham suddenly understands why the two spells cannot be perfectly combined.

Andros's flying spell repels all foreign forces.

But why exclude?

He should try to control this power and make it work for his own benefit, just like manipulating the air currents, turning all unfavorable external factors into conditions that are favorable to him.

The disappeared wings quietly emerged again. This time, there were not only black feathers in the wings, but also nearly half of them were white feathers. Tom moved so fast that he almost left an afterimage. In the blink of an eye, he appeared on the top of another hill.

Thunderclouds and shadows followed him, continuing to strike him with lightning. Tom needed more and more primitive energy, so he simply rushed into the sea of ​​thunder to be transformed.

The sound of thunderbirds crying came from afar. Including the little thunderbird competing with Tom, a total of twenty adult and nearly adult thunderbirds flew over. They looked at the thunderclouds with fiery eyes and rushed in according to their instincts.

Newt was itching to know how this lightning energy was different from the natural lightning in the past, but looking at his own small arms and legs, he was afraid that he would be roasted before he even flew in. He could only hide a little further away and take out his notebook to keep recording.

Ten minutes later, the deafening roar gradually disappeared and the clouds became clear.

The well-fed Thunderbirds circled in the sky. Tom slowly landed on the ground. Newt hurried over and immediately noticed the biggest change in Tom.

So white! .

Chapter 126: Lord of Wind and Thunder, Fifth Trial: Name

Needless to say, Tom's appearance can naturally create a good impression between him and Tina. This is the effect of his appearance, which is also an amplifier in the background.

A child who is cute and sensible is definitely more likable than a child who is ordinary-looking and dull.

But Tom's skin color is not white, but has a healthy bronze color. In addition, he has been exposed to the sun every day in the Gobi Desert in recent days, and his skin has become another degree darker, almost close to that of an indigenous person.

As a result of being struck by lightning, the boy is now so white that he glows. With his perfect facial features and proportions that no one can find any flaws in, he looks like an aristocratic boy who walked out of an oil painting.

"Is this a layer of skin peeled off?" Newt muttered quietly, but Tom heard it anyway, and his smiling face froze.

What do you mean by peeling off a layer of skin? That was just a deep cleansing for him. His skin is very thin.

"Uncle Newt, how can you be so superficial? Don't just look at the superficial changes. Take a closer look?" the boy said dissatisfiedly.

Newt's face flushed, feeling a little embarrassed by what Tom said.

He calmed down and continued to observe. Tom cooperated and released all the pressure. Newt, who knew a lot about magical creatures, immediately noticed the change.

This feeling was very strange, the aura of the fire dragon and the thunderbird appeared on the same human body at the same time, and both were extremely pure and strong.

But Newt still said in admiration: "Your talent... I really don't know how to describe it. Although the challenge is difficult, the reward is also generous."

It's just that Newt is uneducated, otherwise he would definitely say something like "the appearance of a dragon and a phoenix, the appearance of the sun and the sky".

A fire dragon is also a dragon, and a thunderbird is a close relative of the phoenix. There is absolutely nothing wrong with saying this.

Tom smiled and said, "We'll have to try it to know the details. Please wait a moment."

After saying that, the boy flew into the sky again.

This time, the Thunderbird bloodline is a little different from the Fire Dragon bloodline. The Fire Dragon bloodline develops slowly as it grows, but this time, the Thunderbird bloodline seems to have made rapid progress right from the start because of the improvement of his life essence and soul essence.

The sky that had just cleared up was hit again by a gust of wind, even faster than the speed at which the thunderbirds gathered thunderclouds. A strong wind blew over the earth, and several small vortices appeared, quickly evolving into a tornado that covered the sky and the sun.

Tom pointed his finger, and the lightning snake shot towards the place he designated. The lightning hit a rugged rock that was more than ten meters high, and the rock was blown to pieces.

The thunderbirds came close to the boy and circled around him.

Newt watched this scene in shock. Only Frank had ever received the same treatment as Tom. This was the symbol of the king of thunderbirds, and now Frank had also joined the circling team.

Tom had a good relationship with Thunderbird before, but that was equivalent to the relationship between him and Fantastic Beasts: they were friends, but they were also outsiders.

Now it’s different. The thunderbirds not only regard Tom as one of their own birds, but also as their king.

The old man took out a pen and paper and used magic to record this scene as valuable material for future research.

Tom continued to experiment with his abilities, and the spells became more powerful. As long as he wanted, each spell could be accompanied by a strong electric current, creating an effect where the sum of one plus one was greater than two. Even if it was blocked by defense, if the electric current penetrated into it, it could produce a paralyzing effect.

There is also wind and thunder magic. The Shadowless Divine Blade also belongs to this category. The invisible wind blade becomes sharper, and the weather spell does not require much thinking. Controlling thunder and lightning has become an instinct.

Tom accelerated his flight, leaving a group of thunderbirds far behind him at full speed. Only Frank could barely keep up, with his speed at least doubled.

He also noticed that the essence of life had also been elevated.

Every fusion of a bloodline or a talent is an evolution towards perfection. If all twelve trials are completed and finally sublimated, Tom will probably have surpassed the scope of the creatures on Blue Star.

"Uncle Newt, let's go back!"

After waving in the sky, Tom led a large group of thunderbirds to the nest. Newt finished the last stroke and followed on his broom.

After returning, Newt couldn't wait to ask, "Tom, what's your next goal? It should also be related to magical beasts, right?"

The old man now understands the thrill of the development game. Watching Tom become stronger through one magical animal after another, he also has a sense of pride and accomplishment.

Tom was stunned. He didn't expect Newt to be more anxious than him.

"Don't worry, I was just busy experimenting with my new abilities and haven't had time to experience them yet. Please wait a moment."

After Tom finished speaking, his consciousness sank into his mind and touched the fifth palace.

[Fifth Trial: Fame: You already possess a certain level of strength and foundation, and now you need to gain the corresponding fame.]

[Quest Requirements: Obtain the First-Class Order of Merlin. Time is not limited. After six months, you will receive the content of the Sixth Trial. Both can be completed at the same time.]

[Quest Reward: Randomly obtain one of Merlin's magical talents]

Order of Merlin, First Class?

Tom opened his eyes, his eyes full of confusion and bewilderment.

He also thought that this time they would find some magical beast to challenge, but the span was so huge that they directly landed on the Order of Merlin.

"How's it going?" Newt asked quietly.

Tom forced a smile. "This time it's even more difficult... To complete the challenge, you must obtain the First Class Order of Merlin."

Newt was taken aback by the request.

What is the concept of the Order of Merlin, First Class?

Let's put it this way, there are not many people who have received the First Class Order of Merlin in a century. Newt is already world-renowned, but until now, he has only been awarded a Second Class medal in recognition of his contributions to the field of magical creatures.

The Order of Merlin is said to be open to wizards all over the world and is an international award, but in fact it is just for the self-entertainment of the British wizarding community. The awards Newt has won in the United States are much more authoritative than this one.

Levels two and three are easy to deal with. He has some old friends and some of his recent unpublished achievements that can help Tom.

But the first level

"Tom..." Newt smiled bitterly. "I remember you have a good relationship with the Greengrass family. You even mentioned their children in your letter. I should listen to their opinions."

"Well, I'll ask when I get back." Tom nodded.

Although this task sounds ridiculous, the reward is great. Merlin's random magic talent is at least an immortal legend. It is definitely the reward that can help him the most besides the twelve trials.

Tom remembered that someone in the Black family had obtained the Order of Merlin, First Class, by donating gold. When he returned to school, he could discuss his experience with Phineas Black.

It would be even better if you could get things done for money.

......

After spending another day in the reserve, Tom finally managed to escape with great effort under the reluctant gaze of the thunderbirds, and followed Newt out of the Thunderbird Reserve.

Several little ptarmigans wanted to go with Tom, and their parents agreed, but Tom hesitated for a long time and still didn't take them with him.

　(dabh) The little thunderbird needs to be well nurtured. The humid weather in the Scottish Highlands is far different from the dry and hot Arizona. It is better to leave it here first. When it stabilizes and the small world is tidied up with a space suitable for thunderbirds, we can catch all the thunderbirds here in one fell swoop.

As for whether the reserve will allow it, the thunderbird will fly away on its own when the time comes. It has nothing to do with Tom Riddle. If he has any objections, he can go find another Riddle.

Arriving in Thunderbird Town, Newt lit the fireplace at home. The two first came to the large Floo Network transfer station in Los Angeles, then came to the central interior of Alaska for another transfer, and finally returned to the headquarters of the Magical Congress in New York, and then Apparated back home.

The house is much more lively now than when the two of them left. Not only is Tina here, but Newt's son and his family are also back.

When the two came back, Tina and a middle-aged woman with a fairly standard appearance were busy in the kitchen. A man came up to them, first gave Newt a hug, and then looked at Tom with a smile on his face.

"Hello, I'm Leo Scamander." The middle-aged man stretched out his hand and shook hands with Tom. Leo was tall and strong, and Tom could feel the calluses on his hands when shaking hands.

Compared to Newt's shyness, Leo had clearly inherited his mother's talkative personality. "I read the article you wrote for Father about the evolution of unicorns, and I even saw your unicorn in Small World. I was really surprised to learn that a high-quality Patronus could actually help Magical Beasts."

"How are they?" Tom asked. "I asked them to exercise before I left. Have they been slacking off lately?"

Leo couldn't help laughing as he thought of something. "Well, I checked the logs and they're much healthier now. They just get a little mad every day, which scares the little ones in the rainforest and the regular areas."

Newt's face changed, and he was afraid that something might happen to his magical creatures, so he hurried into the small world to check the situation.

Only then did Tom notice that there was a little guy hiding in the crack of the restaurant door, with half of his head sticking out, quietly watching him.

Leo followed Tom's gaze and called out, "Rolf, I was just looking for you. Come here, this is Tom, your senior at Hogwarts."

Hearing his father's call, the boy came over obediently. His face was full of freckles, very much like Scamander's. He said shyly:

"Hello, I'm Rolf, Rolf Scamander."

"I'm Tom Riddle." Tom didn't reach out to shake Roald's hand; that kind of etiquette wasn't meant for children. He just smiled and nodded. "I'm sure you'll be sorted into Hufflepuff. The students there are very friendly, and it's a house I really like. It's a pity I wasn't sorted there."

Hearing Tom say this, Rove was also very happy, and the sense of strangeness was immediately eliminated a lot.

"That's what my grandfather said too. He said I would be very happy in Hufflepuff."

"Believe him, Hufflepuff is the least stressful house." Tom agreed very much.

Gryffindor is noisy, Slytherin is realistic, Ravenclaw and Bulk Jiangdong are of the same character, and there are a lot of intrigues among students. Only Hufflepuff, you guys do your thing, and we live quietly in the kitchen.

"How was your trip to Arizona?" Leo asked as the three of them arrived in the living room.

"I feel very rewarding. The Thunderbirds are very friendly." Tom said with a smile, "It's rare to find such a large area in the UK dedicated to magical creatures as a sanctuary. The Muggle-Repelling Charm alone would give the Ministry of Magic a headache."

"That's true, so Magizoologists rarely go there." Leo agreed.

"But I have longed to visit the Forbidden Forest and really want to see the environment there."

Leo went to school at Ilvermorny, and he happened to catch up with the rise of Voldemort. Otherwise, if you calculate his age, he would have basically enrolled in the school between Mr. Weasley and James Potter.

The two chatted some more about Thunderbirds, and Rolf looked at Tom with admiration.

This brother who is only one year older than him is really amazing. He can actually answer the questions raised by his father.

Tom would not neglect the little guy and would introduce Roald to some of the situations in Hogwarts, the interesting staircases, the hidden secret passages, and the many magical portraits and ghosts.

Leo was moved by what he heard, and his desire to visit Hogwarts became stronger.

The smile on Tina's face never disappeared during dinner. It was rare for their family to get together like this, and Tom, her favorite younger generation, was also there. The old woman just liked this warm and lively atmosphere.
