The Dark Lord's Guide to Employment at Hogwarts

Hmm... I learned...

Wait, why am I learning this? I'm not trying to take over the world!

Haha, it seems that I am still influenced by that bastard Li Weide!

I was originally such a pure person...

……

Ministry of Magic.

In the conference room, everyone looked gloomy.

Faced with Grindelwald's suggestion, these high-ranking officials of the Ministry of Magic had no idea how to respond.

Dumbledore pushed the door open and walked in, holding a copy of The Globe and Observer in his hand.

When everyone saw Dumbledore, they felt like they saw a savior.

The Minister of Welfare quickly stood up and went to meet him. "Albus... you know what happened. What do you think we should do?"

Dumbledore glanced around at everyone in the meeting room, and seeing their panic-stricken looks, a hint of disappointment flashed in his eyes.

Then he nodded to the Minister of Welfare and sat down in a random seat.

"Everyone, I want to ask...what do you think of his suggestion?" asked Dumbledore.

Everyone looked at each other, not knowing how to answer.

To be honest, there is nothing wrong with Grindelwald's suggestion.

The only problem is that if it is really adopted, then the reform work will suddenly increase...

It can be said that if the person who made the suggestion was not Grindelwald, but an ordinary employee.

Then, these bigwigs in the Ministry of Magic would not agree, even if this suggestion is indeed beneficial to the people.

Since it can function according to the current system, why bother with reform?

However, this time it was Grindelwald who made the suggestion, which is why they came to the meeting to discuss it nervously.

"People all think that this is a good reform..." The Welfare Minister had to speak himself when he saw that no one answered.

"You all think this is good advice, don't you?" Dumbledore asked again.

Everyone had no choice but to nod their heads. If this suggestion could be implemented and the assessment system could be improved, it would indeed be a good thing for both the Ministry of Magic and the people.

The Ministry of Magic can obtain more high-quality talents, and the people have the opportunity to change their life plans.

"Since it's a good suggestion, then adopt it," Dumbledore said calmly, "Even if it was proposed by Grindelwald..."

Everyone fell silent again...

The Welfare Minister hesitated and said, "If he infiltrates us..."

Dumbledore sighed helplessly, "Mr. Minister, so far... how much difference is there between the Ministry of Magic and the completely infiltrated MACUSA?"

This time, even the Minister of Welfare was silent.

Now, almost no one in the Ministry of Magic dares to disobey or offend Grindelwald. What difference does it make whether he infiltrates or not?

The Welfare Minister knew that this was Dumbledore blaming them for their submissiveness...

However, he had to agree that Dumbledore was right.

Grindelwald's existence is like a poisonous sting that pierces the palm of the Ministry of Magic.

Since the Ministry of Magic doesn't dare to touch it or pull it out... then it's no different from being assimilated.

"At this point, gentlemen... we must put aside Grindelwald's true nature and consider the merits of his proposals," Dumbledore said. "From now on, if his suggestions are beneficial, agree with them. If they have hidden dangers, reject them and explain the drawbacks to the public... From now on, everyone must get used to Grindelwald's presence... Whether you are afraid of him or not, now... he is already there!"

Now Dumbledore has figured it out. It is no longer possible to completely stop Grindelwald by force as he did before.

Because the other party doesn't give him any chance at all.

Grindelwald is now an "innocent" man, and everything he does is reasonable, reasonable and legal.

Therefore, all they can do now is to wait and see, and then find out the flaws revealed by Grindelwald!

So, if he has good suggestions, adopt them! If he has bad suggestions, reject them!

If he does something bad, then fine... Dumbledore will be waiting for him to do something bad. As long as he can find Grindelwald's weakness once, he will hit him at his weakest point!

What are the consequences of agreeing to his suggestion?

As long as it's good advice, why reject it?

In fact, both the wizarding world and the Ministry of Magic have been complacent and silent for too long.

Although the rise of Grindelwald was originally a disaster, now he may become a catfish that stirs up this stagnant water!

There are ways to follow the rules!

Dumbledore, who had completely sobered up after being dealt a combination of blows by Grindelwald, decided to temporarily put away the Elder Wand and hide in the dark, observing quietly...

……

early morning.

Li Weide lay on the bed, quietly waiting for the system mall to refresh.

It was something he looked forward to every night.

The quality of the products in the system mall has indeed been greatly improved, but it is not all what Li Weide wants.

Suddenly, Li Weide saw the balance of his merit points jump suddenly.

It directly increased from more than 42,000 points to more than 50,000!

The sudden surge of more than 10,000 points made Levid immediately realize that the Ministry of Magic must have decided to agree with Grindelwald's suggestion.

Of course, the surge of just over 10,000 points was also due to the Ministry of Magic undergoing reforms and the limited number of positions available.

There are not many people who can change their destiny.

However, the changes these people can make to the British wizarding world are also limited, so their merit points are limited.

When what Grindelwald does can benefit the wizarding world, or even the whole world, then his merit points will increase rapidly.

Just as Li Weide was thinking, the products in the system mall changed.

It turned out to be midnight.

[Product 1: Polyjuice Decoction 500ml (Unlocked) 500 Merit Points]

[Item 2: One unhatched Fire Dragon Egg (unlocked) - 800 Merit Points]

[Item 3: Whomping Willow Seed (Unlocked) - 700 Merit Points]

[Item 4: One Mutated Venomous Geranium Seed (Unlocked) - 2000 Merit Points]

[Refresh time countdown: 23 hours, 59 minutes and 39 seconds]

Merit Points: 59000

Dark Lord Achievement: Not Achieved

Li Weide's eyes fell on the fourth item, the column of mutant fang geranium.

He was a little confused as to why a mutant plant seed was so expensive...

Chapter 169 Director of the Education Department, Grindelwald!

This mutant fang geranium seeds are really expensive.

But despite this, it was the first time that Li Weide saw mutated seeds appear.

He decided to read the description and then buy a copy to see for himself.

As for several other items.

Levid was not interested in either the Polyjuice Potion or the Dragon Egg.

Levid can make the polyjuice potion himself without spending any merit points.

As for the fire dragon eggs... Li Weide thought that he was not yet able to control a creature like a fire dragon.

Even Hagrid, a great magical beast expert, had a lot of trouble when hatching the Norwegian Spinosaurus.

Levid still has some self-awareness. Even if he wants to get a dragon for fun, he will have to wait until he learns more knowledge and experience about magical animals from Newt before considering it.

Besides, fire dragon eggs are not difficult to obtain and are not worth spending hundreds of merit points.

As for the third item, the Whomping Willow seed... Li Weide took it without much hesitation.

The Whomping Willow is a very rare and magical plant. It is now very rare. Even if you don’t grow it yourself, it may have other uses in the future.

Anyway, 700 merit points is not too expensive.

Next, Li Weide focused his attention on the fourth item.

[Mutated Venomous Geranium: Although its properties and mutation direction are unknown, it represents another possibility for the development of magical creatures...]

"Another possibility for the development of magical creatures...that genetically modified magical plant, it's not hopeless..." Li Weide muttered to himself.

It is well known that magical plants, such as biting cabbage and mandrake, can also have certain combat effects as long as they are used properly.

So... is it possible to cultivate magical plants that can specifically assist in combat?

However, magical plants are completely different from ordinary plants after all, so some of Li Weide's previous knowledge may not be of much help in changing magical plants.

"If this seed can give me any inspiration... then it is indeed worth 2000 merit points!"

Sample! A mutated sample!

Li Weide had also tried to mutate the magical plants before.

After all, the biting cabbage he grew was larger than the ordinary one, so it should also be a mutated variety.

However, because the degree of mutation was too small, Li Weide was unable to find any difference.

And now, a living mutant seed was placed before him...

"Bought it!"

……

London.

In a quiet manor.

Grindelwald was sitting in the pavilion, reading a book.

Instead of going to the Ministry of Magic today, he gave himself a small vacation.

He decided to think about his book at home today.

And the manor he is in is his new home in London.

Of course, this time he bought the manor directly from a wealthy Muggle man instead of killing the owner of the manor.

His career had just started to pick up, and he didn't want to be caught so easily.

"Sir." Abernethy approached from a distance, "The Ministry of Magic agrees with your proposal."

"Oh? So fast?" Grindelwald was a little surprised.

According to his assumption, the Ministry of Magic would need at least a few days to discuss this proposal.

Then he could use these few days to do other things, and let this matter ferment among the people.

I didn’t expect that the Ministry of Magic had already made a decision after only one day?

"Foley went to Dumbledore and asked for his opinion, and Dumbledore agreed directly," said Abernathy.

Grindelwald narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard this.

"Dumbledore...it seems you are ready to take the challenge..."

"Regarding welfare, we would like to ask you to come up with a reform plan, because it was you who proposed this matter," Abernathy said.

Grindelwald smiled. "My job is only to offer suggestions, not other... reform plans. Of course, they made their own decisions. After all, I'm just an advisor... Relay this to Foley. He'll understand what I mean."

……

The Welfare Minister is now in a state of panic.
