The Dark Lord's Guide to Employment at Hogwarts

She once firmly believed that Grindelwald's lofty ideals would bring beauty to the world.

And the path Grindelwald took before was absolutely correct!

But now... her resolute heart has wavered...

Because Grindelwald's actions in recent months are completely contrary to what he did before.

And... isn't the way Grindelwald is doing things now... the same method that he asked Levid for help?

Anne originally relayed this to Grindelwald just to fulfill her duty and let Grindelwald continue to understand the words and deeds of Levid and Tom.

She felt that Levid's views could only give Grindelwald some inspiration at best.

Grindelwald might even laugh at Levid's unrealistic ideas.

But... she really didn't expect that Grindelwald would do exactly what Levid said!

When she heard her aunt say that Grindelwald, in order to clear his name, personally pushed the witches who had fought loyally for him to the guillotine... Anne felt her faith collapse.

Of course, her aunt was just thankful in front of her at that time, thankful that she was rescued by Grindelwald, otherwise, she would have died in Azkaban now.

She had no idea that those words would have such a great impact on Anne's originally resolute heart.

After all, Vita didn't know that Anne truly and naively believed in Grindelwald's ideals, not simply for the benefit of her family...

Grindelwald's image of betraying his comrades and being cold-blooded and ruthless is exactly the same as the words that the outside world has used to "slander" him.

In the past, Anne had only heard others say this, thinking it was a smear campaign against the reformers, but now, she had witnessed it with her own eyes...

Throughout the holiday, she was mentally preparing herself, trying to convince herself that Lord Grindelwald must have his reasons for doing this, and that she must be overthinking it.

Later, Grindelwald encouraged her a few more words, and her heart finally settled down and she stopped having wild thoughts.

To be precise, it should be that I finally have an excuse to avoid thinking about these problems.

But unexpectedly, Li Weide once again ruthlessly tore off the fig leaf that she had finally covered...

The bloody real problems that she had avoided in the past were once again placed before her!

"I can see that you are very conflicted right now. Even... a little bit broken inside." Li Weide finally moved his aggressive gaze away.

Anne's body suddenly relaxed, and she felt her back was completely wet with sweat.

But her eyes became more confused.

"No... Mr. Grindelwald must have his reasons for doing this..." Anne murmured softly.

Tom, who had been sitting opposite reading a book, couldn't help asking after seeing Anne's expression, "What did you do to her? Did you make her stupid?"

Just now, Li Weide just looked at her for a while, and then she became like a dazed person.

Based on his understanding of Li Weide's strange methods, it was hard not to think that Li Weide had used some special methods again.

"I didn't do anything. I just put the problem she was avoiding in front of her again." Li Weide opened a chocolate frog and put it in his mouth, saying vaguely.

"So she... has become stupid?" Tom asked with a frown.

Li Weide looked at the Chocolate Frog card in his hand. It was a card of a weird-looking wizard.

"It's normal. After so many years of faith are shattered, everyone will become a little abnormal."

"Faith collapse? Could it be that she really believed what Grindelwald said?" Tom was a little incredulous.

Li Weide laughed and said, "You still have the nerve to laugh at Annie? Didn't you almost believe it before?"

"Hehe... I just believe in the benefits he can bring to me. It has nothing to do with ideals or anything like that. There aren't so many lofty ideals in this world." Tom sneered.

"You are wrong about this. There are still lofty ideals in this world, but... they don't exist in ambitious people like Grindelwald." As Levid said this, he casually threw the Chocolate Frog card in his hand to Tom.

"Why are you giving this to me? Why does this thing look weird?" Tom said dissatisfiedly.

"Ha, you unworthy descendant, you didn't even recognize your own ancestor Slytherin?"

Only then did Tom see the name on the Chocolate Frog card.

"This is vilifying Slytherin. I will write a letter of protest tomorrow!"

As he said this, he put the card away without any embarrassment on his face.

"Oh, Tom, you've gotten better at playing dumb."

"I don't know what you're talking about, Wade. You should think about how to comfort Miss Rosier. She's crying because of what you said. It would be hard to explain if other students saw you."

Li Weide turned to look at Annie, and sure enough, Annie was already in tears.

However, with the help of Legilimency, Li Weide understood her thoughts very well.

The majestic image of the person I respected the most collapsed, and the things I had always believed in also fell apart at this moment.

The worst part was, she had no idea who to talk to about her worries. Her family were basically all Grindelwald's fanatical followers! No one could give her any advice on this issue!

Therefore, she felt a little lost for a moment, as if she had been abandoned by the entire era...

I can only say that a little girl is a little girl, and her thoughts are really messy and weird.

"There's no need to be sad or confused. It's not worth it for that old man Grindelwald." Levid said.

Annie wiped her tears and said, "I... I don't know what to do next... I can't get out of this anymore..."

Knowing that Grindelwald is using her and knowing that what she is doing may be wrong, does she still want to continue doing it?

But if I don't do it, given Grindelwald's character, will he let me go?

At this moment, Anne was completely trapped and it was difficult for her to extricate herself from Grindelwald's mess.

Even though she knew that this path was no longer correct, she had no choice but to continue on.

"It's not that complicated. On the contrary, it's a very simple thing, Annie." Li Weide smiled.

A glimmer of hope appeared on Annie's face. She really hoped that Li Weide could show her a way out.

"Just like Tom, just join me!"

"Puff!" Tom, who was drinking juice opposite, suddenly sprayed a mouthful of juice towards Li Weide's face.

However, the juice did not spray onto Li Wei's face, who was prepared, and was blocked back.

Tom hurried to his feet and cleaned himself with his wand, cursing as he went.

"Li Weide! When did I ever say I would join you?!"

"Oh, Tom, you're still so stubborn..."

"I'm being stubborn, you..."

Before Tom could finish his curse, he saw Levid take out his wand and start wiping it slowly.

"Yes, I did surrender to Lord Wade." Tom said honestly.

When Li Weide doesn't care, I can indeed play and joke with him, and maybe even get some benefits.

But... when Li Weide is doing serious work, I'd better be more sensible...

Tom, who was good at observing people's expressions, was now very sure that Li Weide was not joking, so he decisively admitted his mistake.

"Me? To rely on you?" Annie's eyes widened.

"You should know my abilities... You don't think that what I said to you before the summer vacation was just a simple show-off, right?" Li Weide said with a smile.

Anne suddenly realized that Grindelwald changed his way of doing things because he heard what she had relayed!

Moreover, at that time, Li Weide already knew his identity!

Therefore, he deliberately used his own mouth to tell Grindelwald those words!

In other words... a man like Grindelwald was actually controlled by an underage wizard like Levid?!

And all that magical power from before… Even though the other party knew my identity, he actually let me absorb it! And he even gave me the opportunity to take so much for myself…

There is no doubt that Li Weide did this on purpose!

Thinking back to those drugged dung bombs that Li Weide prepared later, and those captured members of the Wu Zetian Party...

That was definitely a trap set by Li Weide! What was the purpose of the trap?

Grindelwald failed in the trap and became lost. Then, he used his own mouth to tell Grindelwald a new method.

In this way, Grindelwald did what he wanted!

After thinking about this, Anne's heart turned cold.

She just realized when she was exposed, so she didn't have time to think about these things.

Now thinking about it, she realized how terrifying Li Weide was.

Grindelwald, the Witch Party, and even Dumbledore, all of them were used as pawns by Levitra!

And such a terrifying person is only twelve years old...

Maybe, such a person can really help oneself out of trouble?

"You...you can really help me?"

"You misunderstood. I'm not helping you, Annie. I just need you as a chess piece. Since I need you as a chess piece, I will naturally protect you. Besides... I'm not as cruel as Grindelwald. Even if you're a useless chess piece, I won't abandon you casually."

"Okay... I... I don't have any other choice anyway."

Although Levid's words were very blunt, it was better than Grindelwald deceiving himself and painting a rosy picture for himself.

Moreover, I have caused such a big trouble in the past. Now that Grindelwald needs me, he may not do anything to me, but there is no guarantee that he will not take revenge on me later!

Anne now no longer dares to trust Grindelwald's character...it's better to take a gamble!

Chapter 196 Tom: How can I, such a pure person, know what those people are thinking?

Tom watched as Li Weide asked Anne to change her job.

Although he looks expressionless, his inner thoughts are just as complicated.

Although he has always been unwilling to be stepped on by Li Weide, Li Weide's ability always makes him admit defeat.

Not only is he strong, but he is also incredibly smart.

Annie had just come up with the horrible fact that Li Weide treated everyone as pawns through speculation.

And Tom...he witnessed the whole thing!

From setting the trap to later plotting against Grindelwald, Levid never avoided Tom!

Perhaps, I am just a pawn in his plan...

Tom thought unwillingly in his heart.

As a result, Tom suddenly felt a little desperate for no reason.

Can he really catch up with and surpass such a powerful opponent...

Slim...the hope is so slim...

"Tom?"

Tom came to his senses and found that Li Weide was looking at him gently.

The oppressive feeling that had just fallen on him had completely disappeared.

The Dark Lord Levitra has once again become his "Best Friend" Levitra...

Tom felt a sense of absurdity again.

"Finished?" asked Tom.

"Well, we're done. From today on, Annie is also our comrade." Li Weide said with a smile.

"You believe her so easily?" Tom asked cautiously.

"Tom... I told you before, trust is unnecessary. As long as our goals are the same, we will naturally walk the same path."

"I see." Tom nodded.

Tom really understood that Li Weide believed in his own judgment... In other words, he only believed in himself!

Since you can judge other people's thoughts and actions, it doesn't matter whether you trust them or not.

However, Tom always felt that Li Weide's excessive self-confidence would sooner or later lead to him suffering a great loss!

"What should I do next?" Annie wiped her tears and began to ask seriously.
