The Dark Lord's Guide to Employment at Hogwarts

Principal Dippet reached out and gently pressed on the little snake, then slowly took it away after a while.

"This must be the place. I can feel the magic here..."

"Can you open it?" asked Dumbledore.

"I'm sorry, even as the headmaster, I can't open this mechanism." Headmaster Dippet said, "It seems that Slytherin had already taken precautions, even blocking the headmaster's authority."

Dumbledore pondered and said, "Do you remember how Tom opened the trial ground in Slytherin's study?"

"He said he used Parseltongue?" Headmaster Dippet stroked his white beard. "Well, that's definitely the Slytherin style. No wonder the manuscript didn't specify how his descendants were to open this place..."

"Anyone who is a descendant of Slytherin will know how to open it when they see this sign. Just like how Tom opened the passage in the corridor before." Dumbledore nodded.

"Well, it seems we have to interrupt Tom's little happy time." Principal Dippet said. "I hope he doesn't mind the interruption of his vacation."

"Hmm..." Dumbledore hesitated. "We don't know what's behind this door. What if that's the basilisk? It would be very dangerous for Tom to face it head-on!"

After checking Slytherin's manuscript, Dumbledore and Headmaster Dippet now know that the creature Slytherin was talking about is a basilisk!

"Albus, you're being overly concerned. If Slytherin allowed his offspring to die, how could they possibly carry on his legacy and fulfill his wishes?" Headmaster Dippet said. "Besides, the manuscript says that before leaving Hogwarts, he put the creature into a deep sleep and included a method to wake it up. In other words, as long as we don't wake it, we're safe. We just need to deal with it before it wakes up."

"I haven't read that paragraph yet..." Dumbledore said with a wry smile, "Well, I am indeed a little confused."

"I know you've been too busy lately. Well, in that case, I'll help you share some of the work. Let your mind relax." Principal Dippet said compassionately.

"Armando...it's obvious that I'm sharing the work that originally belonged to you," said Dumbledore.

"Haha, young man, you are not confused at this time? Well, let's go back first and look for Tom tomorrow. Don't worry, he is not in danger. He just needs to help us open the door and we can leave."

……

In the garden outside the wizard tower.

Li Weide sat on a recliner, holding a container of residue that had just been refined.

He was using the absorption magic that his senior had taught him, slowly absorbing the benign residues that had just been converted.

After a while, Li Weide finally opened his eyes.

When he first started absorbing it, it was still daytime, but after he finished absorbing it, it was already night.

Li Weide put down the container in his hand and looked at the stars and the bright moon in the sky.

He has been visiting people frequently these days.

Then he urged his friends to learn the Patronus Charm in front of the Dementors.

Of course, among these friends, except Annie who could barely release a wisp of white mist, no one else succeeded.

After all, not everyone has Tom's talent.

However, regardless of whether they succeeded or not, Li Weide successfully harvested a large amount of benign residues.

It has already exceeded the original expectation.

It is worth mentioning that Henry and Alphard, who was visiting his home, both thought that it was because they studied hard later that Levid came to teach them advanced magic as a reward!

After all, the Patronus Charm is indeed a kind of advanced magic.

At this point, they became even more convinced of the big promise that Li Weide had made.

This was an unexpected success.

Li Weide withdrew his gaze and casually opened the suitcase next to him.

The Dementor crawled out trembling.

The current Dementor no longer has the energy and spirit it once had, and looks sickly...

"Come here." Li Weide said.

The Dementor did not dare to delay and floated over quickly.

Livid stood up, stretched out his wand and tapped its neck.

Then the red circle was hidden.

"Okay, I'll put this box outside. As for you, go back to Azkaban now. When you recover, come back to this box and wait for me. Don't try to disobey my orders." Levid said.

The Dementor lay on the ground, shaking violently.

Ten minutes later, Levid hid the suitcase in a secret cave outside the wizard tower, and he also released the Dementor back to Azkaban.

The leeks used to cheat people can only bring short-term benefits. Only by sending the Dementors back to Azkaban can there be long-term benefits.

After all, only Azkaban can afford to support these monsters.

As for whether Azkaban would find out? That wasn't a question at all.

Because no wizard would have the leisure to count how many Dementors there are in Azkaban.

Otherwise, Grindelwald would not have been able to take a Dementor away from Azkaban so easily.

Li Weide felt his current strength, taking into account the increase from ancient magic and the small increase from recent benign residues.

His current strength is probably twice that of Snape.

It was not until today that Li Weide possessed the strength that could be called powerful.

Combined with his nightmare magic and a series of other methods, he can now fight against Dumbledore or Grindelwald.

Of course, without actually fighting, Li Weide didn't know how good he could be.

In a battle between wizards, whoever has stronger magic power will not necessarily win.

There are also many objective factors such as casting skills and combat experience that influence it.

In battle, even if you accidentally step on a stone and slow down your movements a little, it may lead to direct defeat!

This is also the reason why Li Weide is still very cautious even though he has powerful strength!

It’s okay to be proud, but you must never be arrogant.

Chapter 226 The only Slytherin descendant who masters the Patronus Charm?

Nowadays, if Li Weide wants to continue to strengthen his strength, the best way is to keep looking for ancient magic relics and then continue to improve his ancient magic.

However, after staying in Hogwarts for such a long time, Levid had secretly visited all the locations of ancient magical relics given to him by his senior.

In other words, all the ancient magical powers that could be found around Hogwarts have been completely searched.

It will take time for these ancient magical powers to recover.

Therefore, unless he goes to other places to continue searching for ancient magical relics like looking for a needle in a haystack, he can only pin his hopes of becoming stronger on benign residues or more radical human experiments!

"Don't be anxious. Don't be too eager for quick success." Li Weide reminded himself.

Right now, his physical age is only about twelve years old, so he has plenty of time to continue to grow stronger and break the limits of wizards.

There is no need to take too many risks. It would be too dangerous to do human experiments on yourself or use dark magic to transform yourself like Voldemort did.

After figuring out his current situation, Li Weide did not stay up late that day, but went straight back to the safe house and lay down on the bed.

Before the system mall was refreshed at twelve o'clock, Li Weide fell into a deep sleep...

……

Early the next morning.

Riddle Manor welcomed two strange guests.

Fortunately, Master Riddle recognized one of them.

"Professor Dumbledore, Merry Christmas!" said Master Riddle with a smile.

"Merry Christmas, Mr. Riddle. Thank you very much for your pocket watch, I like it very much. I have to say that among the many Christmas gifts I received this year, your gift can be said to be the most precious one." Dumbledore said with emotion.

"I am also very grateful for the books you sent me, Professor. This will help me better understand everything in the wizarding world." Master Riddle looked at another old man next to him.

To be honest, Master Riddle had never seen anyone so old...

Maybe I've seen it before, but that was only on a hospital bed.

This was the first time that Master Riddle had seen an old man like this one, so old but still full of energy.

"This is the headmaster of Hogwarts, Professor Dippet." Dumbledore introduced to Master Riddle.

"Hello! Principal!" Mr. Riddle stretched out his hand in surprise and shook hands with Principal Dippet.

"Hello to you too. I guess you are Tom's grandfather. I rarely see such an open-minded parent as you. Especially after experiencing all those things, you still have such goodwill towards the wizarding world." Principal Dippet smiled.

The concept of wizards in the West is completely different from the concept of immortals in the East.

In the eyes of Oriental people, immortals are gods, and most of the time they are portrayed in a positive light.

However, wizards are portrayed as evil in Western legends!

This is also why witch-hunting emerged in Muggle society during the Middle Ages.

Therefore, it really surprised Principal Dippet that Master Riddle still had no obvious prejudice against wizards after almost having his family wiped out by a dark wizard.

"Perhaps it's because the one who saved us was also a wizard." Master Riddle smiled. "Well, please come in! We can't keep talking at the door!"

After entering the living room and sitting down, Dumbledore told Master Riddle that he was going to ask Tom for help today.

Even though Master Riddle was not very familiar with the wizarding world, he now understood the urgency of the matter.

He quickly brought the two Hogwarts professors out of the woods where Tom was.

"I built a house for him in this forest. Normally we don't approach him... You know, there are often many outsiders coming in and out of our house. Tom doesn't want so many people to know his identity as a wizard. He is worried that this will bring unnecessary trouble to our family." Master Riddle said.

Dumbledore nodded. Considering the reputation of wizards among Muggles and the constraints of the International Statute of Secrecy, he agreed with this reason.

If everyone spread the rumor that there was a wizard in the Riddle family, the Riddle family would have a hard time, and even the family business would be affected.

"Well, it looks like you'll have to go in on your own. That kid seems to have cast some kind of spell around here, and none of us can get in," Master Riddle said.

"Okay, thank you for your help." Principal Dippet looked at the forest in front of him, a flicker of approval in his eyes. "This Muggle Repelling Charm is quite realistic! Tom is only twelve years old this year..."

"Yes." Dumbledore also sighed.

The two of them tacitly turned a blind eye to Tom's spellcasting outside the school. It must be said that this was a treatment reserved for top students...

"I didn't expect that Hogwarts would produce two talented students like you. The future of the wizarding world seems to be very exciting. I don't know if I will have the chance to see it again." Principal Dippet sighed.

"Armando, you are still so young, why are you starting to say discouraging words?" Dumbledore said seriously.

"Ha, you kid! Your mouth is still as sweet as it was back then! I'm really old, Albus." Principal Dippet strode into the woods.

For no reason, Dumbledore felt a heavy heart.

Seeing Principal Dippet walking into the woods, he quickly followed.

When Master Riddle saw them go in, he sighed and turned to leave.

That wasn't his world after all...

"Whoosh!"

A ball of white light flashed past Principal Dippet! Then it rushed back to a wooden house in the woods!

"Patronus Charm?" Dumbledore looked at the white shadow with joy, but the shadow was too fast just now and he couldn't see clearly what the Patronus looked like.

"Professor Dumbledore? Principal Dippet?" Tom looked at the two in surprise, then said subconsciously, "Levi's not here."

According to Tom's experience, the reason these two people appeared at the same time was definitely because of Li Weide, not because of himself.

But this time he guessed wrong.

"We are here for you, Tom," Dumbledore smiled.

"For me?" asked Tom, surprised.

As he was distracted, the guardian angel disappeared long ago.

"You've learned the Patronus Charm at such a young age. You're truly a genius... It seems I underestimated your talent, Tom." Principal Dippet said happily.

"Tom, when did you learn the Patronus Charm?" asked Dumbledore.

"Uh...this..." Tom didn't know what to say for a moment.

Needless to say, using Dementors to practice the Patronus Charm is illegal!

God knows where Levid got that Dementor from?

It wasn't that he intentionally concealed it for Li Weide, it was just that he didn't want to be implicated by that guy! Yes, he just didn't want to be implicated!
