The Dark Lord's Guide to Employment at Hogwarts

It's bad! My business has been exposed!

Look... the accomplice Tom has been caught!

Li Weide's face suddenly changed, then he quickly stopped, turned around, and ran away...all in one go.

Tom was also surprised to see Levid, but when he saw that he was not holding the suitcase containing the Dementors, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

If Levid still brought the Dementor with him at this time, he would have been killed by this bastard!

Even if Dementors are just monsters that have made a deal with the Ministry of Magic, they are still official employees of the Ministry of Magic!

What Levid did was tantamount to kidnapping a Ministry of Magic employee!

"Vade! You've arrived just in time!" Dumbledore said. "Regarding the creature left behind by Slytherin..."

"Oh! So that's it!" Li Weide's smile returned to his face. "I thought..."

"What did you expect?" Dumbledore asked warily.

Could it be that this kid and Tom have gotten into some serious trouble again?

Dumbledore is a little stressed now. There is nothing he can do about it. These two guys are involved in almost every trouble in the past two years!

"Nothing. I thought you were here to eat. I was just about to go back and prepare more ingredients! Ahem, Professor Dumbledore, Headmaster Dippet, Merry Christmas! So, have you found any clues about that creature?" Li Weide said quickly.

Tom couldn't help but curl his lips and divert attention... Humph, Levitra's classic method!

"Yes, we found out. What Slytherin left behind was a basilisk," Dumbledore said seriously. "We found the place, but it might require Parseltongue to open it. That's why we came to Tom for help."

Li Weide finally felt relieved.

It turns out that the truth has been revealed and it's not my fault. That's all right now.

"Can I go take a look together?" Li Weide said quickly. "I've read some records about basilisks. This dark creature is truly made of top-notch materials, especially its blood and venom!"

"Okay, then you come too." Dumbledore nodded.

"Albus?" Headmaster Dippet looked at Dumbledore in surprise.

They didn't need Li Weide to be there at all, it would be too dangerous! If Tom didn't need to open the door, Principal Dippet wouldn't have come to find Tom.

Therefore, Dippet was very surprised when he saw that Dumbledore agreed to Levid's request without much hesitation.

"You'd better agree to it, Armando... Otherwise, maybe we can see Wade in the castle before we see the basilisk in Hogwarts. It's better to let him come with us than to let him come secretly." Dumbledore said helplessly.

Headmaster Dippet understood what Dumbledore meant. He sighed and said, "It seems that old hat is really confused, right? These are clearly two Gryffindors!"

Tom waved his hand, "I'm not. It has nothing to do with me... I'm a pure Slytherin! Lewes is a Gryffindor! Even if it's not a lion, it must be a chimera!"

"Tom, you talk too much!"

……

Hogwarts was indeed ready.

Many students who stayed on campus walked together in one direction.

There, Professor McGonagall prepared a safe place for them.

When Li Weide and Tom appeared in the principal's office, everyone in the office turned their eyes to them.

Almost all the professors were there except Professor McGonagall.

In addition to the professor, Newt was also holding a suitcase and sitting quietly in a chair in the corner.

Professor Slughorn jumped up from his chair. "Albus? It's understandable that you asked Tom to come, but why did Wade come too?"

"I wanted to come and see the basilisk, professor. Maybe I can help you." Li Weide said honestly.

"Nonsense! How can you help?" Professor Slughorn scolded. "If you want to see it, I can just put a memory in the Pensieve for you later. It's so dangerous to run to the castle now!"

Principal Dippet waved his hand and said, "Alright, Horace. These two children are not as fragile as you think. Just keep an eye on them and don't let them run around."

"Okay, okay... the old one is unreliable, and the young one is not reliable either!" Professor Slughorn muttered.

The door to the Headmaster's office opened again and Professor McGonagall walked in. "The students are all in a safe place."

"Okay, let's proceed according to the plan. Come here, everyone, and take this." Dumbledore said, taking out a small box from the drawer.

After the small box was opened, Li Weide discovered that it was filled with pairs of strangely shaped glasses.

"Come, everyone take a pair... These glasses are not light-transmitting. Strictly speaking, they are more like eye masks. However, after putting them on, we can use magic to identify the environment." Dumbledore introduced and distributed the glasses to everyone present.

Li Weide also got a pair.

"Wow! That's really cool!"

As soon as he put on the glasses, he couldn't help but exclaimed.

Because these glasses are more like thermal imaging night vision goggles than glasses!

However, what these glasses "see" is not heat, but magic.

Any magical item will emit red light, while items without magic will be gray.

And through the glasses, everyone present was glowing red!

"These glasses rely on magic to identify the environment. The higher the magic power of an object or person, the brighter the reflected light."

At this time, everyone got the glasses and put them on one after another.

Then Li Weide suddenly felt that the surroundings became quiet, and it seemed that everyone's eyes were on him through their glasses.

"Uh...what's wrong?" Li Weide asked guiltily.

"Impossible! You... why are you so dazzling!" Tom, who was wearing glasses, looked at Li Weide and said in despair.

"Dazzling?" Li Weide suddenly remembered something!

not good!

"Wade...your magic is so powerful! It's unbelievable!" Dumbledore said in surprise.

The expression on Li Weide's face froze instantly.

It's bad! The fact that I'm powerful can no longer be concealed!

Chapter 228 There is a tragically thick barrier between us!

Although Li Weide was a little panicked in his heart, he showed a surprised expression on the surface.

"Professor, what do you mean by powerful? And Tom...what about the dazzling thing you mentioned?"

Yes, in this situation, the only option is to play dumb.

As long as I don’t know why I am so powerful, then I don’t need to explain!

Someone will explain it to me when the time comes!

If I can't explain it all... then maybe I really am a genius! Don't you agree? Professor Dumbledore?

Levid didn't believe that a genius like Dumbledore wouldn't have strong magical powers when he was young!

That must be not much different from what I am now!

However, when Li Weide saw the magic in Tom, he was speechless again.

Tom, a genius who is no less talented than Dumbledore, does not possess nearly as much magical power as himself.

He is not even as good as Professor Garrick, the youngest person present.

Well, no matter how powerful a wizard is, when he is young, his magic power will not be much higher than that of his peers.

So, there is no way to explain it... just keep playing dumb!

The complexity of Tom's heart at this moment cannot be described in words.

How to fight this?

I originally thought that the gap between me and Li Weide was just a difference in skills and knowledge.

As long as I work harder, I will definitely catch up with his level and defeat him in the future!

But now it seems...

It's not a difference in skills at all! It's a difference in essence!

No wonder Li Weide often told him to focus on his own training...

Also, when I was sparring with Li Weide before, I was complacent about having gained a little advantage.

Now it seems...it's obvious that the other party is treating me like a child and making fun of me!

At this time, everyone turned their eyes away from Li Weide.

Truly, Levitra, Dumbledore, and Headmaster Dippet standing together are like three little suns, so dazzling!

"If there's nothing wrong with these alchemical glasses made by Nick, Vader's magical strength...isn't much different from you two!" Professor Slughorn took off his glasses and rubbed them.

"Perhaps this is genius, Horace." Principal Dippet looked at Livid with surprise. "Now, do you still think this child needs our protection?"

Dumbledore stroked his now auburn beard vigorously, and could hardly believe his eyes.

"It seems that what Wade said before about being able to help us was not just empty talk!"

Dumbledore thought about it for a long time but couldn't figure out why Levitra's magic was so powerful. In the end, he could only attribute Levitra's power to his ancient magical talent.

Dumbledore had never actually met that senior, but he remembered the great deeds she had done at Hogwarts.

At this moment, Dumbledore suddenly felt that if she did not have magical power like Levid, it would be difficult for her to accomplish those magnificent deeds.

If that senior schoolmate had magical powers as powerful as Li Weide when she was in school, then it wouldn’t be surprising... then it wouldn’t be surprising!

When Levander noticed that Dumbledore's expression changed from pensive to relieved, he knew that he must have thought of a reason for him!

I felt relieved for no reason.

"Professor? Have you figured out the reason? My magic power is so abnormal, am I sick?" Li Weide asked timidly.

"No, good boy, this is your talent! A unique talent!" Dumbledore put his hand on Levid's shoulder and said gently.

Professor Slughorn sighed, a hint of joy on his face. "Well... although I don't know why you are so talented, but since you are so amazing, I can finally worry less in the future!"

"Everyone, please pay attention." Principal Dippet clapped his hands. "To avoid causing trouble for Wade in the future, please don't tell anyone about what happened today. Especially... while that man is still in school."

Everyone's expression froze slightly.

Grindelwald... No matter what, this man is now a huge mountain weighing on the hearts of everyone in Hogwarts.

A trace of surprise suddenly flashed across Dumbledore's face, and he suddenly understood why Grindelwald deliberately approached Levid!

Could it be that he already knew about Li Weide's abilities?

Thinking back to Aurelius! Didn't Grindelwald also covet the power of the Obscurial and deliberately approach him?

Now, Li Weide is not an Obscurial, but is stronger and healthier than an Obscurial!

Given Grindelwald's personality, if he knew about Levid's talent, how could he not contact Levid?

At this point, everyone understood what Principal Dippet was worried about, and they all agreed to keep it a secret for Li Weide.

"In that case, we may need to change our deployment for today's operation," said Principal Dippet. "Horace, Wade will take your place. As for you, you will assist Professor McGonagall, right?"

"Uh, what's my position?" Li Weide asked.

"Oh, that's right. We plan to let four people enter the secret room to deal with the basilisk, and the other professors will protect the periphery. After all, there is no guarantee that other students will not be unable to hold back during the dance and run around. Moreover, if the basilisk runs out, the professors outside can also cover the students' evacuation in time." Principal Dippet explained.

"The four people you mentioned..."

Newt came over with a suitcase. "The original four people were me, Albus, Armando... and Horace, but now, you have taken Horace's place."

"Uh... is that so?" Li Weide blinked and suddenly had a strange feeling.

The moment before, he was a good baby that everyone wanted to protect, but the next moment, he was suddenly forced to grow up and be pushed out to fight the terrifying basilisk!

And no one at the scene thought it was inappropriate!

Well, it seems that my strength has been completely exposed.

I originally wanted to interact with you as an ordinary genius, but now...

Stop pretending, I'm telling you! I'm actually super strong!

"Okay, when do we leave?" Li Weide asked.

"We have to wait until the other professors are in their respective positions and guard the exits of the corridors on the fourth floor," said Principal Dippet.
