The Dark Lord's Guide to Employment at Hogwarts

Of course, the most important factor is that one’s own strength is not enough!

When you are not strong enough, you will be constrained everywhere!

"Forget it. I can't beat you right now anyway. Regardless of whether what you said is true or not, I have no power to change anything... However, I still hope that what you said is true..."

At this time, Tom had finally come to terms with it. Although this was indeed the place where Slytherin stayed, if it weren't for Levitra, he would never have been able to discover this place.

Thinking of this, Tom's mood suddenly became much happier.

……

The two of them were talking as they walked forward.

Because of the nightmare magic leading the way, this maze-like corridor did not hinder the two people's progress at all.

Perhaps it was really because the senior students had dismantled many mechanisms or traps back then, so Li Weide and the others walked a long way without encountering any danger.

Along the way, Li Weide and Tom also found several open iron doors.

"Why do I feel like someone has been here?" Tom couldn't help but ask.

"It's not surprising, Tom. For thousands of years, there have always been descendants of Slytherin here."

"Then we're relieved. There are no obstacles along the way... But I just hope they haven't taken away the things in the deepest part... Otherwise, our trip will be in vain." Tom said helplessly.

However, although Tom said so, based on the traces along the way, he could still tell how difficult it was to walk here back then...

And, putting aside the puzzles and traps that have been solved.

Just looking at this maze-like corridor, if it weren't for Li Weide's magic of exploring the way, Tom felt that he would probably have to spend a lot of energy to find the way...

When Li Weide heard Tom say this, he casually agreed, "Who knows?"

Since the senior asked him to come, it proves that she did not take the information away at the time. Of course, it is also possible that she took it away at the time and put it back later.

When passing another opened iron gate, Li Wei De and Tom suddenly found a yellowed parchment scattered under the wind lamp in front of them that had been extinguished for many years.

Li Weide and Tom looked at each other and walked up quickly.

After quickly reading the text above, both of them fell silent.

The parchment was left behind by a man named Noctogaunt.

Judging from the name, this is indeed a descendant of Slytherin.

Moreover, the content above is also very interesting.

To sum up, this man from the Gaunt family seems to be an outlier in the Gaunt family.

She felt that the Gaunt family did not need dark magic, nor did they need to adhere to the pure-blood theory!

Respecting the supremacy of pure-bloods, studying the dark arts, and so on... are nothing more than distorted understandings of the ideas passed down by Slytherin by later generations!

She felt that Slytherin was definitely not as simple as the world imagined!

She came in to look for "Slytherin's study" in order to find evidence to prove that the Gaunt family had a huge misunderstanding of their ancestors' thoughts for generations!

She always believed that Slytherin was definitely not such a paranoid person!

Li Weide put down the note, turned around and asked, "Tom, what do you think?"

Tom said coldly, "I think this... Gaunt is adorably foolish. To prove that her family's worship of pure-blood supremacy and pursuit of the Dark Arts is wrong, she came to Slytherin's study to find the truth? Is the truth... really important? Even if Slytherin isn't as bigoted as the world thinks, can she change the minds of the pure-blood family? I've personally witnessed the stubbornness and stupidity of these pure-bloods!"

When Levid saw the anger flashing in his eyes, he knew that he was thinking of Morfin Gaunt, the pure-blood who almost killed the Riddle family.

Chapter 211 I can eat your secret for the rest of my life!

"You're right, Tom, this Gaunt is indeed a little naive." Li Weide agreed with Tom's words.

Even if the real Slytherin is not as paranoid as the world says, even if he has never advocated the supremacy of pure-bloods, so what?

For thousands of years, these fanatical pure-bloods have had the idea of ​​pure-blood supremacy engraved into their bones.

Even if the family heritage is indeed a distortion of Slytherin's thoughts, they can't change it!

However, in a paranoid pure-blood family like the Gaunt family, it is very rare for such an outlier to appear.

Apart from the senior’s best friend, this is the second person Li Weide knows.

"Okay, let's continue. To be honest, I'm now a little curious about what a real Slytherin is like. I wonder if this naive Gaunt has found the answer he wanted." Levid said with a smile.

Tom snorted coldly and said, "Whether this person found the answer or not, her efforts were in vain. No one knows better than me whether the Gaunt family has changed because of her investigation!"

"So, perhaps Slytherin is indeed as paranoid as the legend says. After this Gaunt discovered the truth was different from what she thought, she was even less able to change her family's minds." Levid speculated with interest. "Let's go. I hope to see her message later!"

With that, the two continued on their way.

However, the smooth journey came to an abrupt end!

Both Li Weide and Tom had to stop in front of an iron fence gate.

Unlike the previous doors, this one was locked! And, like the previous ones, it had two strange symbols carved into it.

"It seems that we have to solve the puzzle before we can open the door." Li Weide said, touching his chin.

"This shouldn't be the case. The previous ones didn't need to be solved, but this one does? Could it be that those who explored before only got here as far as they could? Or... did we take the wrong path?" Tom was also confused.

All the doors in front were unlocked, but this one wasn't. It was really strange.

"Maybe the mechanism of this door is different from the previous one, and it may return to its original state after a while." Li Weide said as he observed the information around him.

"It's possible... But do we really want to solve the puzzle? It's just an iron door... Maybe we just need a thunderbolt explosion..." Tom looked at the thin iron door.

Just this old and broken iron door, let alone Li Weide, even if Annie was pulled over, it could be blown open directly!

"Oh? Then I'd like to ask, Mr. Riddle, the clever one, why weren't those iron gates up ahead blasted open? Instead, were they diligently decrypted and opened?"

Levitra's Snape-like intonation made Tom's scalp tingle.

"Could you please not speak in that tone? You really deserve a beating! Even if what you say does make sense..."

Levid smiled but didn't agree. His Snape-like tone was quite interesting.

"These iron doors look fragile, but they are shrouded in thick traces of magic. They are clearly well-protected and cannot be simply blown open by a few explosive spells."

Suddenly, Li Weide raised his wand and carefully felt the white mist surrounding it.

"Wait, there seems to be a discovery here..." Li Weide raised his wand and walked towards a fork in the road.

Tom followed.

In such a strange place, it is safer to follow Li Weide.

This fork in the road does not seem as smooth as the previous one.

Along the entire road, there are many floors that are raised high and appear uneven.

If you want to pass through it, you need to climb up and down, which may take a lot of effort.

Of course, this was not difficult for Li Weide and Tom because they didn't have to walk at all.

"Swoosh..." The two of them used a flying spell to take off from the ground and floated lightly over the strange floors.

After a while, the two of them arrived at the end of the fork in the road.

After landing, Tom looked at Li Weide with a strange look, "Why is the mist white when you fly? Isn't it black?"

"Black is too evil and doesn't fit my character, so I changed it slightly and turned it into righteous white." Li Weide said as a matter of course.

Tom sneered and said nothing more.

In his opinion, evil black is the most suitable color for Levid!

He is obviously a guy who is blacker than the bottom of a pot, but he always pretends to be a white lotus. Doesn't he feel awkward?

"Look, there is a snake-shaped stone sculpture. Maybe it is the mechanism of the iron gate." Li Weide pointed to a stone sculpture on the wall in front and said.

When Tom heard about the snake sculpture, he hurried over.

However, just as he was about to speak in Parseltongue to open the door, he suddenly discovered that the base of the snake-shaped stone sculpture seemed to be composed of two rotating wheels.

There are some strange symbols engraved on the edges of the two roulette wheels, and some symbols are hidden behind the roulette wheels and cannot be seen from the front.

"It seems I need to spin the wheel and get the correct combination of two marks to open the iron gate... These marks also seem to have some special meaning..." Tom pondered, "But how do I know which combination is correct? I've never seen these marks before... Is this some kind of knowledge passed down by the Gaunt family?"

No wonder Tom thought this way. The previous Slytherin descendants seemed to have solved the mystery, but he had no clue at all.

It is most likely because he grew up outside and did not inherit certain knowledge that the descendants of Slytherin should have.

"Never mind, let's try it! We can always find a combination of just two marks!" Tom said, and started to turn the turntable.

"Wait..." Li Weide wanted to stop him, but it was too late.

Tom had already begun to turn.

By the time he heard Li Weide's words and stopped, the two symbols on the roulette wheel had been changed by Tom.

Before Tom could even say "What's wrong?"

The snake-like stone sculpture suddenly came alive! It raised its head and bit Tom fiercely!

Levitra waved his wand lightly, and Tom's figure was suddenly pulled over by him, and slammed hard onto a protruding stone brick behind him.

However, the snake-shaped stone sculpture happened to bite nothing, leaving only a deep tooth mark on the ground!

Then, the snake-shaped stone sculpture turned back into a stone sculpture again, as if nothing had happened.

Tom looked at the deep teeth marks on the ground and felt like his heart was about to stop beating.

Therefore, even though he was dragged over by Livida and hit against a rock, causing his internal organs to seem displaced, he still felt extremely fortunate.

Being bitten by that thing is worse than being hit and vomiting blood!

"Don't be so impulsive, Tom... How could this kind of puzzle not have a penalty mechanism? Otherwise, wouldn't you have figured it out so easily?"

"But... this is too exaggerated!" Tom looked at the tooth mark and was terrified.

"That's not an exaggeration at all... Slytherin probably felt that he had slacked off so much in the test, and if he still made a mistake, he wouldn't be worthy of being his descendant. That's why he made the punishment mechanism so cruel, directly humanely destroying this descendant who failed." Levid said with a smile.

"You can just call me stupid. I'm used to it," Tom said with a straight face.

"You are not stupid, you are just too impulsive, not observant enough, not thoughtful enough, and not cautious enough in your words and actions." Li Weide said with a smile.

"To sum it up, it's not much different from stupid..." Tom said dejectedly. "But since you said it's simple, you must have the answer. So, do you recognize these signs?"

Li Weide looked at the strange symbols and said softly, "We don't need to know what these symbols mean... Have you forgotten that there were two special symbols engraved on the iron door just now?"

"You mean, the answer is the two symbols carved on the door just now?! But they are not here?" Tom immediately looked as if his IQ was insulted.

"Probably," Li Weide said, stepping forward and spinning the two wheels continuously. "Those two symbols must be hidden in a blind spot behind the wheels. You have to spin them to see them, so you didn't remember them. Actually, it's not your fault."

Sure enough, as the roulette wheel turned, the two special marks on the door were also turned out.

When Li Weide stopped, a "click" sound was heard in the distance. Obviously, the iron gate was opened.

Tom looked at the two familiar signs, feeling hopeless. "Don't bother trying to comfort me. I'm really just an idiot..."

No wonder Levander just said that Slytherin let them off the hook... the answer is engraved on the door!

Release water? Strictly speaking, this is all releasing the sea!

Even so, I still wanted to use the process of elimination, trying again and again...

I really made myself cry because of my stupidity!

If I were Slytherin, facing such a stupid offspring, I would have to let the snake bite!

"I think you'll become much more careful from now on," Li Weide said happily. "People can't teach you, but things can teach you!"

Tom's face flushed red, and after a long while, he said shamefully, "Don't tell anyone about what happened today... Please."

"Ha, I can eat your secret for the rest of my life!"

"Or you could just kill me..."

……

The road was then clear again.

Many iron doors were opened, and some were closed again, which were successfully opened using the above method.

And they also successfully found the second and third letters left by the naive member of the Gaunt family.

The second letter stated that she was lost for a long time until she lit a brazier and found the right path.

From this we can see how difficult the maze here is. It is only because Levid's nightmare magic is first-class that they can find the way, otherwise they would have to spend a lot of time finding the way.
