The Dark Lord's Guide to Employment at Hogwarts

"So...are these people whose souls were extracted guilty?" Tom asked.

"What are you thinking? How can there be so many guilty knight souls?"

"So... was this collected by Slytherin on the Muggle battlefield?" Tom still had some hope in his heart.

"Tom... these souls were extracted alive! How could they have been collected on the battlefield? And... these are just a few Muggle knights... If the rumors about Slytherin are true, then as long as he can complete his dark magic, does he really care about the lives of a few Muggle knights?"

Tom sighed, reluctantly accepting this cruel reality, and for no reason, a sense of loss arose in his heart.

"It seems that the naive Gaunt must have been disappointed later..."

From the current perspective, how could a Slytherin who could do such a thing not be a stubborn and pure pure-blood advocate?

Even Muggle-born wizards and witches despise him, let alone real Muggles.

Perhaps, in the eyes of Slytherin, Muggles are not even human beings...

As for the promotion of black magic, there is even less controversy. These combat puppets are ironclad evidence!

"Tom, how do you feel after knowing that your ancestors were not good people?"

Tom shrugged. "Nothing special. I'm used to it."

"Huh? What do you mean?"

"You see, before I met you, I was the only bad guy around me. But after I met you...there were no good people around me?" Tom looked at Li Weide meaningfully.

"You're slandering me!" Li Weide jumped up. "I wouldn't do something like sucking out the souls of living people and refining combat puppets! I... I can only suck out the souls of animals or bad guys at most..."

"Ah, yes, yes... Levid is the savior, the kindest man in the world! Everything he does is just to make life better for people all over the world!" Tom said loudly.

"Hey! Tom! Keep a low profile! I'm just telling the truth, there's no need to use such a grandiose tone!"

Tom: ...

"Your shamelessness is also unmatched!"

"You always have a lot of misunderstandings about me, Tom. I'm really a good person!"

Tom said nothing, but just sat back down and ate chocolate to replenish his energy.

"Forget it..." Li Weide said helplessly, turning his head to look at the two weapons on the ground.

Just now, these two weapons were able to block the curse!

This shows that this is also a good thing!

Li Weide bent down, grabbed the hilt of the two-handed sword, and tried to lift it up...

But, he was just a weak little wizard... he really didn't have that kind of power!

So, no matter how hard he tried, the two-handed sword seemed to be welded to the ground and did not move at all!

"Ha..." Tom couldn't help laughing.

"why are you laughing?"

"I just thought of happy things... For example, I will soon be able to see the inheritance left by my ancestors." Tom explained quickly.

"Really? That's indeed worth being happy about." Li Weide waved the wand in his hand casually.

The two-handed sword actually shrank immediately!

Seeing that Li Weide was doing it with ease, he scaled down the two-handed sword in proportion and picked it up with one hand.

Tom looked like he had seen a ghost.

"This sword...isn't it immune to magic? How come your transfiguration works?" Tom said in surprise.

"Don't ask about high-end magic, you little brat!"

Chapter 214: Your IQ is not tied to your hair!

Li Weide did the same thing, using the ancient magic of transformation to make the halberd smaller and lighter, and then held it in his own hand.

"Break!"

Li Weide easily inserted the shrunken halberd into the wall of the corridor.

"It's indeed a good weapon..." Li Weide said with satisfaction.

Tom couldn't help but swallow his saliva in fear again.

Just now, the extremely sharp blade of this thing was only one centimeter away from his nose!

"You are a wizard, Wade, what are you doing with weapons?" Tom asked again.

"This is a weapon that can make magic ineffective! I can study the magic on it and then copy it to where it needs to be copied! Guess what will happen?" Li Weide looked at the two weapons in his hands with joy.

Tom couldn't help but his eyes lit up when he heard this!

If I could also add this kind of magic immunity to the clothes I wear, then when I duel with others in the future, wouldn’t I not be afraid of other people’s spells?

"Besides! Who said wizards can't use weapons?" Li Weide put down his halberd and casually played with the shrunken sword in his hand.

Li Weide had never practiced sword fighting before. Although the sword had shrunk, it still had a certain weight, so...

"brush!"

The long sword slipped out of his hand!

Tom's head recoiled in fear.

Then the long sword just hit his scalp and pierced into the corridor behind him!

Tom touched his scalp, which had just been shaved into a flat top and was now completely bald, with trembling hands.

Then he pretended to be calm and brushed away the few remaining hairs on his forehead.

"What a fast sword..."

How many times have I nearly died tonight?!

"Sorry! I haven't practiced much!" Facing Tom's angry eyes, Li Weide ran over and pulled out the sword above Tom's head. "I will practice hard in the future."

"It doesn't matter. Just don't practice in front of me next time." Tom stood up with difficulty. "Let's go... We've been delayed for a long time!"

If he stayed any longer, he was worried that if he didn't die in the Slytherin trial, he would die at the hands of Levitra...

He almost died while wielding a long sword, and Levid still had to wield a long spear!

"Okay..." Li Weide reluctantly packed the halberd and sword into a box that he had transformed into using Transfiguration, and stuffed it into his pocket, which he didn't know how big it was...

However, Tom saw from Livid's slightly regretful look that he seemed to feel a little regretful for not being able to use the halberd again.

For the sake of my life, I can’t stay in this crappy place anymore!

Of course, there are other weapons scattered in the corridor, probably held by other statues.

However, the magic on these weapons has almost completely lost its effect.

Perhaps, it has something to do with the place where those combat puppets were kept.

……

After a few steps, they reached the end of the corridor.

In fact, when Tom was fighting and retreating, he had already retreated to the end.

However, it was not until this time that they began to carefully observe the door.

This door is engraved with the same snake-shaped pattern as the entrance!

In other words, you can just use Parseltongue to get through here instead of solving puzzles everywhere.

Tom's eyes suddenly lit up and he picked up a piece of parchment from the ground.

"This seems to be the fourth letter from this Gaunt!" said Tom.

"What did the higher-ups say?" Li Weide asked casually.

"Hmm..." Tom read it quickly. "She said that although there were many difficulties and obstacles along the way, there were also many gains and rewards... She also said that the descendants nowadays only have prejudices against Slytherin, and she firmly believes this..."

Tom put down the letter and said, "It seems that she hasn't seen through the truth about those combat puppets..."

Li Weide also nodded and said, "It should be. This is done very secretly. If I didn't have some special abilities, I wouldn't be able to detect the core of those combat puppets. The most critical part is actually the human soul..."

Tom hesitated and said, "But...did you notice that she said there were many difficulties and obstacles along the way, but there were also many rewards and rewards! But, aside from the core and two weapons you took, we didn't get anything along the way. Where did the rewards come from?"

"We are not the first group of people to come in! The puzzle solvers before us have helped us solve so many puzzles... where do you think the rewards went?" Li Weide said unhappily.

"Where did you go?" asked Tom stupidly.

"Of course they took it! You came here on an adventure, and if there were any rewards, why didn't you take them? Should you keep them?"

"Oh, yes..." Tom raised his hand and touched his half-bald scalp.

Li Weide stroked his chin and looked at Tom carefully.

He didn't know what was going on, but he felt that Tom had become stupider tonight!

Suddenly, Li Weide looked at him suspiciously, "Is your IQ tied to your hair? If you lose your hair, you lose your intelligence?"

Tom was actually a little skeptical when he heard this.

He touched his hair and asked, "Do you have any magic that can make my hair grow back..."

"Of course there is a way." Li Weide said.

"...The future Dark Lord really knows all kinds of magic!" Tom sighed.

When Li Weide heard Tom's words, he couldn't help but frowned, and then waved the wand in his hand.

Then Tom felt that his originally bald head had returned to its original appearance, and even his hairstyle had not changed.

Tom conjured up a mirror and looked at himself. He was relieved when he found that his hair had returned.

"Now, tell me again, what magic can be used to repair hair?" Li Weide asked again seriously.

"Um... my shaved hair is still on the ground. It only needs a simple repair spell." Tom said, and a look of surprise appeared on his face again. "Why didn't I think of it just now!"

"So, is the Repairing Spell some kind of magic that only the Dark Lord can learn?" asked Levid.

"Uh..." Tom was speechless. He recalled the questions he had just asked and couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

Is this still me? This is horribly stupid!

"Forget it... Now that my hair has returned to my scalp, my intelligence has taken over again..." Li Weide said, and suddenly patted Tom's shoulder, "But, promise me... you must protect your hair in the future..."

Tom touched his hair in confusion. Could it be that my IQ is really tied to my hair?

"Open the door, don't just stand there like an idiot." Li Weide urged.

……

A moment later, the door was opened by Tom using Parseltongue, revealing a dark doorway.

Livid and Tom both drank the Nightingale potion beforehand, so they could see clearly even in the dark.

Inside the gate was a room that was not too big, and at the other end of the room, there seemed to be another black door.

"There seems to be something scattered in front of the door over there..." said Tom.

"Let's go and take a look." Levid said, and rekindled the braziers around him with his wand.

With the help of light source, it is of course clearer than with the single Nightingale magic.

As the two entered the room one after another, the door behind them closed again.

However, neither of them felt that there was anything wrong.

After all, that's how the door was closed when I first came in.

When they walked to the door opposite, they were surprised to find that what was scattered in front of the door was a human skeleton!

"This is..." Tom looked at the skeleton in surprise, then at a familiar piece of parchment next to it. "Is this the Gaunt?"

Tom waved his hand, and the parchment flew up and landed in his hand.

But Li Weide discovered the strange black door and an unusually familiar spell next to the skeleton - "Crucio!"

"Oh..." Suddenly, Tom next to him let out a heavy sigh.

"What's wrong?" Li Weide asked.

"Take a look at this." Tom handed over the parchment.
