The Dark Lord's Guide to Employment at Hogwarts

"Dumbledore... don't be so naive. You and I both know there's only one way to stop me... and that's for you to take up the weapon of power!" Grindelwald took a sip from his wine glass. "But... do you dare? Do you dare to touch power?"

"Nowadays, the era of fighting and killing is over... Dumbledore..."

Chapter 166 If someone is destined to pay the price, then let me do it

Minister's Office.

Dumbledore looked quietly at the Elder Wand in his hand.

Even if he just held this strangely shaped wand in his hand, he could still feel the extremely powerful magic power from it...

This was once the "artifact" that he and Grindelwald most desired, but now, it seemed to have become the most useless thing.

The door of the minister's office was pushed open.

The Welfare Minister walked in with a tired look on his face.

"Albus..." The Welfare Minister greeted and sat down opposite Dumbledore.

He knew exactly why Dumbledore came.

Because Dumbledore has been here more than once.

"Hector... Regarding Grindelwald, I ask you again not to be too obedient to him..." Dumbledore said carefully.

"I understand what you mean, Albus...but what he did in the Magical Congress of the United States of America has frightened everyone. No one wants to become the second Picquery..." The Welfare Minister sighed.

In the past, Grindelwald might have resorted to assassination, intimidation, or kidnapping when facing political opponents.

But now… this bastard actually started to frame me!

In fact, if it was just a frame-up, everyone wouldn't be that scared.

The point is... many people who have reached their current positions in the Ministry of Magic have not had clean hands... So, if Grindelwald wants to deal with them, he doesn't necessarily need to frame them!

No one would doubt that with Grindelwald's ability, he would not be able to find evidence!

Therefore, those who are clean are afraid of being framed, and those who are not clean are even more guilty.

Under such circumstances, even fewer people would dare to offend Grindelwald.

"Fortunately, the suggestions he has put forward so far are not too bad." The Welfare Minister said helplessly.

Dumbledore felt only a wave of sadness in his heart.

Just because you are afraid of the other party, you let them do whatever they want...

Has the current Ministry of Magic completely lost its blood?

When Grindelwald first began to wreak havoc in Europe, so many people bravely stood up and fought bloody battles with him and his men.

But now...why is there no one who dares to confront him?

Dumbledore suddenly remembered what Grindelwald had said when he met him before...

[So what if you've captured the Elder Wand? Do you think I'll give you a chance to use it?]

This is often the case. If the other party uses a knife, there will be many people who resist.

Because everyone felt the danger firsthand.

However, if the other party uses a soft knife... then there will be fewer people resisting...

Because people are not very vigilant against soft knives.

I just feel there is no danger, no need to resist...

Grindelwald is using a boiling frog method to slowly infiltrate and manipulate the Ministry of Magic!

"Albus...if Grindelwald hasn't caused any bad influence now, actually...we don't necessarily have to defeat him..." The Welfare Minister said hesitantly.

Dumbledore looked at him deeply, said nothing more, just sighed deeply, and prepared to leave.

Boiling a frog in warm water...isn't the current Minister of Welfare also the frog being boiled?

"Albus... I know you're disappointed in us, but... what can we do?" The Welfare Minister looked at Dumbledore's back and said, "If... you really want to defeat him, no one in the Ministry of Magic has that ability... only you! Only you have this ability! Albus... if you really want to defeat him, you can't stay in Hogwarts anymore. You have to come out and touch the authority as well! You have to adopt the same approach as him!"

Dumbledore's lips trembled slightly, but in the end he said nothing.

Can he touch authority? No... he doesn't dare.

His past experiences made him unable to trust himself anymore.

If he were to come into contact with power and lose control of himself, the world would be faced with two Grindelwalds...

"I will handle it when the time comes." Dumbledore clenched the old wand in his hand and said softly.

If Grindelwald really can't be stopped... then I'll just have to break the rules once more...

The Welfare Minister looked at the wand in his hand and suddenly understood what he meant.

This means that if they really can't do anything to Grindelwald, they plan to kill him directly?

However, if Dumbledore had killed a high-ranking official of the Ministry of Magic without any evidence or reason, he might have been sentenced to life in Azkaban...

"Albus…is this really worth it?"

"If someone has to pay the price, let it be me."

……

safe house.

Li Weide was squatting in the greenhouse in the garden, contentedly picking some ripe and chewy cabbage "fruits" and storing them in the suitcase next to him.

These biting cabbages, with the blessing of that special nutritional potion, look a little bigger than ordinary biting cabbages.

And it grows very fast...

Toby had helped him harvest many times while he was away.

After each harvest, I would temporarily seal it using the method taught by my senior.

When you need it, you can unseal it and throw it out...

As you throw them, you can even use Transfiguration to make them bigger!

This can appropriately increase their bite force and jumping ability...

These are also some tips taught by my senior.

However, so far, Li Weide has not had the opportunity to use these plants in actual combat.

The point is... Tom is getting smarter and smarter, I didn't fall for it...

As for the suitcase next to it...

Before leaving the United States, he consulted Newt about the Untraceable Extension Charm overnight and even went into his suitcase to take a look. This allowed him to make great progress in the Untraceable Extension Charm and then improve his suitcase.

It was only at that time that Dumbledore was absent-minded, otherwise, he would never allow Levitra and Newt to learn these things...

After all, these two guys are troublemakers... Can anything good come from them getting together to learn from each other?

In just one night, the two "evildoers", one big and one small, got along very harmoniously. It was a pity that the time was too short and Dumbledore was too anxious.

Li Weide had no choice but to wave goodbye to Newt.

Before leaving, Newt invited Livid and Tom to visit his home.

Unfortunately, Grindelwald suddenly came to England, and Levid and Tom were completely confined.

Jacob is the most helpless one...

He had just moved to England with his family to get away from Grindelwald.

Unexpectedly, Grindelwald stole the house and became a high-ranking official in the British Ministry of Magic...

The United States is now the headquarters of the Wiccan Party and there is no going back. Dumbledore suggested that he could move to France or somewhere else again.

But this time, Jacob refused.

There is no quiet place in this world. If that is the case, then what is the point of moving around?

So Jacob stayed and even built a house next to Newt's home in Dorset.

After Li Weide finished picking, he walked out of the greenhouse.

From the outside, the area of ​​this greenhouse does not seem large, but the area inside is quite large.

After mastering the Traceless Extension Spell, Levid used it in every possible way.

As for the Ministry of Magic's ban?

As long as I'm not caught, I haven't broken the law!

Using the Extension Charm in a house protected by the Fidelius Charm, what's there to worry about?

Li Weide saw Tom Cat sleeping under a parasol in the garden.

The Tom Cat now looks more like Tom than he did a month ago...

Its fur was originally a light blue, but now it was a darker color.

Moreover, all four paws are white... just like wearing white gloves...

"What a coincidence..."

Just as Li Weide was sighing and preparing to go back to the house.

Tom Cat, who was lying under the parasol, suddenly stood up.

Then a familiar voice came into Li Weide's mind.

"Vade..."

"Senior?!" Li Weide looked at Tom Cat in surprise.

"it's me."

"Is your research successful?" Li Weide asked happily.

After taking the fairy alchemist away, the senior student announced that she would conduct research quietly for a while.

During this period, Li Weide couldn't find his senior.

Therefore, Li Weide had no idea how far his senior sister had progressed.

However, half a year has passed, and even if there is no success, there should be some progress.

Sure enough, I heard the senior say, "It's not a success, but it's good progress. I found the optimal emotional ratio for the 'residue,' and the side effects have almost completely disappeared. Then, I used fairy metal, combined with the fairy's alchemical technology, to create a regulator... I adjusted the emotional components of the 'residue' in my body, transforming them into harmless 'residues.'"

"Oh? Doesn't that mean that you no longer need me to help you absorb the 'residues' in your body?" Li Weide asked happily.

Since there are no side effects, the senior sister will never rashly absorb this power again, so there will naturally be no danger to her life.

"No... There are too many 'residues' in my body. Even if my regulator runs at full capacity, it can only convert a small part of it..." the senior student replied.

"Well... you can convert some of it over time. That way, the regulator will recover, and the conversion will be complete sooner or later."

"I thought so before, but it's not that simple. Otherwise, I wouldn't have come to you." The senior said helplessly: "The new magic power converted will conflict with the original 'residue'... If it is not released for a period of time, it will be assimilated again..."

"So... you are planning to..." Li Weide suddenly understood something.

The senior student smiled and said, "Since I can transform some harmless 'residues,' you can naturally absorb them without worry. Moreover, because the amount transformed is so small, I don't even need to remove my cloak to expel these 'residues.' So, I transform some, and you can absorb some. I believe it won't be long before I can completely escape this situation that was originally doomed to fail."

Chapter 167: A sudden increase in strength: 1 Levid equals 15 Snapes!

"Doesn't that mean you'll be able to get out soon?" Li Weide asked happily.

"I... won't come out for the time being." The senior student said with a wry smile.

"why?"

"Before the 'residues' in my body are completely transformed, even if I escape, I will still be unable to resist the temptation caused by the side effects and reabsorb them... Therefore, even if I alleviate the abnormalities in my body, I will still have to wait until they are completely transformed before I can release the seal and escape."

"That's right... But don't worry, at least there's light at the end of the tunnel now, right? One day, you'll be able to stand in the sunlight again."

"That's up to you, Vader... The higher your level of ancient magic, the more 'residues' you can hold... If you can't hold too much, I still won't be able to get out."

Li Weide nodded helplessly.

In today's world, it seems that he and his senior are the only two people who have the talent for ancient magic.

Only those with ancient magical talents can absorb large amounts of "residues". Ordinary people cannot absorb large amounts.
