The Dark Lord's Guide to Employment at Hogwarts

"It's good to have a solution! And... indeed... sometimes it's not good to pursue perfection too much. Take my previous Iron Shield Charm for example. At the right time, an incomplete Iron Shield Charm can even provide higher defense than a complete Iron Shield Charm."

At this time, Slytherin had become somewhat numb. He was very satisfied with his offspring, both in terms of magical talent and comprehension.

It's a pity... he's not a pureblood...

However, this was enough to shake the long-established values ​​of Slytherin for the first time...

"So when are you going to treat Nagini?" Tom asked.

Livid stretched out his hand and let Nagini climb onto his wrist.

He touched Nagini's cold snake body and whispered, "Just for a few days... I want her to spend the winter as a human. Snakes that don't want to hibernate will have a hard time during the winter."

Tom was also looking forward to it when he heard this.

"But is there any danger?" Tom asked again. "I mean, if we fail..."

"Hiss, hiss, hiss..." Nagini stuck out her tongue and said a few words.

"Okay... since you put it that way," Tom nodded. "Should we call Professor Dumbledore?"

"No need. He can't help much in this regard..." Li Weide shook his head and said.

Dumbledore did not know nightmare magic, so he could not offer much advice in this regard.

Moreover, he didn't want to expose the nightmare magic easily.

In fact, Li Weide had already left a message for the senior before coming. She was a true expert in the soul. She would definitely be able to give some good advice.

That day, Li Weide rested for a night at Riddle Manor.

Slytherin rarely spoke, but just stayed in his pocket silently, as if thinking about something very important.

Early the next morning, Li Weide found a piece of white letter on his bedside.

The letterhead was in a familiar handwriting. This was a reply from my senior!

Li Weide immediately opened the letter and started reading.

[…Your method is not bad, but it also has major drawbacks.

You know, the beast soul is actually split, and strictly speaking, it is also a part of Nagini's soul. If it is cut directly, Nagini's soul will lose its integrity!

You should understand what happens when the soul loses its integrity!

She lost her soul integrity and waited until her life ended one day.

Her broken soul could only be trapped in the hazy illusion forever, unable to move forward or backward.

A soul can neither go to the world of the dead nor return to the human world as a ghost...

How is this different from making a Horcrux? No... To be exact, this is worse than making a Horcrux.

At least, creating a Horcrux could achieve a different kind of immortality, but severing the soul of a blood-cursed orc could only temporarily turn her back into a human...

Even if she is willing to pay these heavy prices and is willing to try.

But how many times can a person's soul split? If the soul splits severely, it can cause a person's temperament to change drastically, even leading to madness...

After reading this passage, Li Weide felt as if a bucket of ice water was poured from head to toe.

Li Weide really didn't think about this aspect... He thought that the beast soul was a soul that was born from another source!

Unexpectedly, this is also a part of Nagini's soul! What should I do?

Li Weide then looked at the second half of the letter.

[…Of course, your idea gave me a hint. So, it's not completely impossible, just a bit risky.]

In fact, every person's soul contains a certain amount of soul power.

This kind of soul power can only be made stronger through training, but there is no way to increase its quantity.

Therefore, we do not need to cut the beast soul, we just need to erase the consciousness in the beast soul (this is the most critical, but also the most dangerous!) and then find a way to let the soul power contained in it return to the human soul of Nagini.

In this way, since the original beast soul is still there, there is no need to worry about the breeding of new beast souls.

Moreover, as long as the soul power of the beast soul continues to feed back to the human soul, the power of the beast soul will never be as strong as the human soul.

Therefore, even if the beast soul regains consciousness, her consciousness as a human can always take the initiative!

In this way, although the curse of the Blood Curse Orcs is still not removed, the biggest disadvantage can be eliminated.

Let them remain sane, maintain their human form, and no longer turn into animals uncontrollably.

As for how to allow the soul power of beast souls to feed back into human souls, I do have some ideas, which I will list below...]

After reading the letter, Li Weide's mood was like a roller coaster, up and down, even more exciting than the cruel life...

"Yeah... Since I can't remove the blood curse for now, I just need to get rid of the negative effects of the blood curse so that it doesn't affect my life!"

Thinking of this, Li Weide quickly wrote down the method on the letter!

"Tsk tsk... It's true that having an old person in the family is like having a treasure!" Li Weide looked at the written method with a smile on his face.

"bump!"

"Ouch, who attacked me?" Li Weide covered his head and looked around.

But there was no one else in the room, only a wisp of white mist dissipating at the window...

"Hiss... As expected, no matter what time it is, you can't call a woman old..."

Chapter 241: Earning money is not as fast as robbing money!

"What are you talking to yourself here?"

The ghost of Slytherin floated out of the pocket that Levid hung on the wall.

"Wow! It's a ghost!"

"Is it fun?" Slytherin asked grimly.

"Just play for a while." Levid shrugged and naturally ignored Slytherin's question.

Slytherin floated over and saw the method that Levid had just copied down in his hand.

As for the snow-white letter paper, it turned into white mist and dissipated long after Li Weide copied the method.

"Hmm? This method is different from the one you mentioned yesterday." Slytherin said.

"I found something wrong with yesterday's method. It would split Nagini's soul. If the soul is incomplete, it will be very troublesome." Levid nodded.

"Well, this method is indeed safer than yesterday's." Slytherin said calmly after browsing it.

Li Weide suddenly looked at Slytherin, "Actually, you have thought of this a long time ago, right? But you never told me."

"What?" asked the Slytherin.

"About the soul splitting issue. You deliberately didn't tell me, right?"

"Is that what you think? But I really didn't expect it. If I didn't expect it, how could I tell you?" Slytherin remained calm.

Li Wei De understood, and a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes as he looked at Slytherin.

Based on my understanding of Slytherin in the past few days, if he really didn't expect this and I wronged him, he would definitely turn against me and curse at me.

But now, Slytherin was uncharacteristically calm, which meant that he had indeed not told Levid the key information.

In fact, for people like Slytherin who regard human life as worthless, blood-cursed orcs like Nagini are just experimental subjects.

In that chaotic and dark era, wizards like Slytherin were cold-blooded and only cared about the people or things they were close to.

Therefore, deliberately not telling Levid the truth and letting him split Nagini's soul can also be regarded as part of the experiment.

Nagini is Levitra's friend, not his Slytherin friend. Since there is a chance, what's wrong with using her for experiments?

Even Li Weide couldn't blame him for anything because he did nothing and knew nothing!

"I know what you're thinking, but... if you don't help me with all your heart, don't expect me to do my best to help you." Li Weide's tone was cold.

Slytherin's expression finally changed, but he didn't say anything else. He just went back into Levitra's pocket like a wisp of smoke.

……

The entire Riddle Manor was covered with white snow.

The servants were shoveling snow and ice off the driveway.

Old Tom looked out the window at the busy servants outside, and it was a long time before he turned around and looked at Master Riddle.

"I can't do it," said Old Tom.

"Give it a try. I don't believe that someone who can easily understand so many obscure philosophical problems would be so stupid as to be unable to do even this." Master Riddle stood up and left a stack of documents on the desk. "Anyway, you can't keep being decadent... Take care of these businesses."

These businesses are really simple.

Li Weide’s formula is very good, and his old father has already paved the way for him... Even if he brings a dog to do it, it is impossible to mess it up.

Old Tom was silent. He knew very well that his old father wanted him to cheer himself up, bravely step out of his comfort zone, and completely get rid of the shadow of the past.

"I can give you some time to think about it, but it's not much... If you'd like, I hope to see you at the table tonight at dinner."

Seeing his old father walk out of the room, Old Tom slowly sat back in his chair. His eyes swept over the documents in front of him and the other books on the desk, his face full of struggle.

"Just do it. There's no need to think too much about many things. You'll know if it's suitable once you do it."

Old Tom turned around and saw Tom leaning against the window looking at him.

"when did you come?"

"It's been a while, but you were so engrossed that you didn't notice." Tom walked over and glanced at the documents on the desk.

"I don't know if I can do it well..." Old Tom said softly.

"It's okay. Li Weide's things are never hard to sell. It's hard to do it badly." Tom paused and continued, "The family business will eventually be inherited by you... You know me. I don't like these things, and... if nothing unexpected happens, I will do something with Li Weide and the others... It may cause a big stir, maybe..."

Old Tom suddenly looked up. "What are you doing... When Wade and I were chatting before, he discussed the issue of how to carry out a revolution... His views were very radical..."

"Wizards are actually human beings too, so the wizarding world naturally needs a revolution. And revolution will definitely involve bloodshed, so I can't guarantee that I won't be the one bleeding. Therefore, this burden will have to be carried by you..." After Tom finished speaking, he returned to the window.

Suddenly, he turned around and said, "What happened back then is in the past. Therefore, I don't mind you finding a proper wife and giving birth to a 'normal' heir. I hope you can completely shake off the shadow of the past."

Old Tom lowered his head and looked at the documents on the table. "But I..."

But when he looked up again, Tom was gone, and only the window curtains were swaying slightly.

……

Slytherin wanted to observe his half-blood descendant.

So, Levander put the Slytherin ghost into a box with an invisible extension spell and hid it in Tom's cabin.

Levid himself left Riddle Manor with Nagini at noon that day.

He had originally planned to treat Nagini at Riddle Manor, but now he has changed his mind.

The new treatment plan requires new preparations, so some of the rough preparations made previously naturally have to be abandoned now.

First of all, the choice of location...

Because of Slytherin's sudden appearance, Levitra gave up the Wizard Tower as an alternative location.

After pondering for a long time, Li Weide brought Nagini directly to the underground ruins where he and his senior sister had first met!

However, when he was teleported to the underground secret room again through the big toad, it was completely different from before!

Originally, the underground secret room where the senior sister was was empty and there was nothing in it.

but now……

Li Weide stared in amazement at the fairies busy coming and going in front of him, and was shocked.

Did the goblin raid my senior's house? No...

Li Weide immediately discovered that these goblins all had a familiar red circle around their necks! And each goblin had lifeless eyes.

Well…these guys are enslaved.

It seems that after controlling the first goblin craftsman, the senior sister expanded her "industry" a bit...

Only then did Li Weide understand why the senior's research progressed so quickly!

She's turned this into an industry chain! How could it not be fast?

"Hello, the master wants to see you." A shrill voice suddenly came from the side.
