The Dark Lord's Guide to Employment at Hogwarts

Li Weide shook his head. "I thought I was thick-skinned enough, but I didn't expect there would be a master..."

"You are so hypocritical! If I put myself in your shoes, I don't believe you wouldn't do the same!" Slytherin said angrily.

"Okay, okay... then what research have you done on those Silents?" Li Weide asked with great interest.

There is no record of this part in Slytherin's study, so wouldn't it be great if we could get Slytherin's experimental results for free now?

Slytherin certainly knew what Levid was planning.

However, perhaps out of a desire to show off, or perhaps because he wanted to prove that his research was not worthless, Slytherin did not hide his research from that year.

"When the Obscurial loses control, it becomes an Obscurus and wreaks havoc everywhere... So, I'm curious about how the Obscurial becomes an Obscurus."

"After becoming an Obscurus, how does the body structure change? And so on... Anyway, my students and I have conducted various research directions!"

"I remember that my main research at the time was how wizards could transform their bodies into a black mist-like state, just like the Obscurials..."

Li Weide quickly asked, "What's the result?"

"No result." Slytherin spread his hands.

Li Weide was immediately anxious when he heard this. "How could there be no results? Didn't they figure it out?"

"What can I do? The research was only halfway done when that reckless Godric showed up! He opposed us using those Obscurials for experiments! So we had a fight..." Slytherin said gritting his teeth.

"So, you lost?" Li Weide asked curiously.

Slytherin roared angrily, "Nonsense! How could I lose?"

"Then why would your research be fruitless? So, you must have lost the fight, which is why you can't continue your research!" Li Weide said, "My guess is reasonable, right? It can't be considered nonsense."

Slytherin sighed, "Godric and I had a fight, and neither of us could do anything to each other. But... when I returned to the lab after the fight, all the experimental subjects had been taken away by Helga and the others... Now that things have come to this, I can't just turn against the three of them, so I have to leave it at that... Humph, if I had known we would still have a fight later, I shouldn't have given in!"

Li Weide rubbed his hands and smiled, "Although the final results haven't come out yet, but since you and your students have already completed half of the research... and there are other students researching other aspects... does that mean..."

"Okay! Boy, I know what you want to say! Since I promised to help you, I will do it. Take a pen and paper, and write what I say." Slytherin said unhappily.

"Ha, that's great." Li Weide hurriedly took out a pen and paper.

Afterwards, Slytherin told Levid all the experiments on Obscurus and the temporary experimental results.

An hour later.

Li Weide looked at the densely packed, three-meter-long parchment in front of him with great satisfaction... It's time for dinner again! Brothers!

With these materials as a basis, Li Weide's research on Obscurus became much easier.

Li Weide didn't have to worry, as he had just begun his research when the creature disappeared!

Slytherin felt inexplicably angry when he saw Levid's face.

This junior is extremely talented and should be Slytherin's favorite student, even though he is a Muggle-born!

However, every time Slytherin finished communicating with him, he always felt very angry.

Mercenary! How mercenary!

When they take advantage of others, they look exactly like those greedy goblins!

However, when Slytherin thought about his past self, he became even more irritated.

Because he found that his attitude when facing the experiment seemed to be similar to that of Li Weide!

"Forget it, take your time to look at it, I'm going out for a walk..." Slytherin said in a muffled voice.

Li Weide waved his hand without even raising his head.

Slytherin found that Levid could actually hear him talking while he was studying, and he couldn't help but raise his head in disdain.

If it were him back then, when he was immersed in research, he would not hear what others were saying at all!

Come to think of it, I am still better in terms of experimental attitude!

……

Slytherin floated in the air, wandering around the castle.

This was the first time the Slytherin ghost had wandered around on his own.

In order to avoid being recognized by other ghosts, he also disguised himself slightly.

For example, put away the iconic robe and the cane, and let down the long hair to cover half of the face...

With these iconic items put away and a little disguise, Slytherin looked like an ordinary thin old man.

There are many ghosts in Hogwarts, so no one or any ghost noticed this ordinary-looking old ghost.

I have to say that the entire castle has changed a lot compared to a thousand years ago.

However, some of the survival passages that existed before still exist.

When Slytherin was passing through the wall, he even saw two Gryffindor students sneaking out of Hogwarts through a former survival passage...

"Humph, worthy of being Godric's student, full of people like this." Slytherin said dissatisfiedly as he crawled out of the wall.

"Uncle Salazar?"

A cry of surprise came from the side, startling the Slytherin.

"You've got the wrong person." Slytherin looked up at the "person" who made the sound and said subconsciously.

It was the ghost of a young woman, one that Slytherin had never seen before.

"I won't mistake you, Uncle Salazar!" the ghost woman said excitedly. "Have you forgotten me? I am..."

"Wait!" Slytherin suddenly felt that this woman looked familiar.

He stared at the woman carefully for a long time before he said in shock, "Are you Helena? Rowena's daughter?"

"Yes, Uncle Salazar!" Helena said excitedly. "Actually... not many people know my name as Helena anymore. Everyone calls me Lady Grey... It's been a long, long time..."

For so many years, Helena's ghost has been wandering around Hogwarts, and she always looks serious.

The reason why he lost his composure this time was entirely because he suddenly saw the ghost of Slytherin!

"You..." Slytherin looked at Helena's young face and the blood on her clothes in surprise. "How could you die so young? Were you... killed?"

Slytherin's voice turned angry: "Who did it? What happened back then?"

Ghosts usually look like they did at the time of death.

Therefore, the silver blood on Helena's body in the ghost state appears very dazzling.

The surprise on Helena's face gradually faded, and was replaced by sadness and regret.

"I am so stupid... My stupidity has caused the current disastrous consequences..."

"Come with me." Slytherin said hurriedly when he saw someone appear at the end of the corridor.

He doesn't want more people to know that he has become a ghost!

Slytherin took Helena directly into the Chamber of Secrets.

Levid was frightened by Slytherin's angry look, but when he saw Helena, he immediately understood a little bit.

Helena was also a little surprised to see a student in the secret room. "He..."

"Oh, don't worry about that brat. Tell me what happened!"

Helena had no choice but to tell her story again.

In fact, this matter is indeed a bit tragic.

Young Helena longed to become wiser and more popular than her mother, Rowena Ravenclaw.

So, in a moment of confusion, he stole his mother's crown, which symbolized wisdom, and ran away to Albania.

Later, Ravenclaw became seriously ill and wanted to see his daughter for the last time, so he sent Sir Baron to find Helena.

Sir Barrow had always loved Helena, so he agreed immediately.

Next, Sir Barrow finds Helena in Albania.

However, Helena was not willing to come back at that time, and Barrow did not choose the time. He expressed his love again when Helena was upset.

In anger, Helena said some words that irritated Barrow, and in the end, tragedy happened.

In a rage, Barrow accidentally killed Helena. After waking up, Barrow was filled with remorse and committed suicide with the knife that killed Helena.

After Helena turned into a ghost, she returned to Hogwarts.

And Baron also turned into a ghost, becoming the ghost of Slytherin College. Everyone called him the Bloody Baron...

"Barrow? That brat..." After hearing this, Slytherin felt angry and guilty.

When Barrow first entered school, Slytherin had not yet left Hogwarts...

So strictly speaking, Barrow can be considered his student, and he is also a freshman that Slytherin values ​​more.

But now, Slytherin discovered that his students had killed his old friend's daughter, making it impossible for his daughter to come back to see her old friend for the last time...

Slytherin suddenly turned and looked at Levid.

At this time, Levander had actually been secretly eating melons, but Slytherin's sudden action scared Levander.

"Is there any way I can beat up Barrow? The kind that hurts!" Slytherin said angrily.

Even though he had fallen out with the other three giants in the past, they were still old friends after all. His old friend's daughter was killed, so he had to avenge her!

Even if Barrow is dead, it won’t delay!

Upon hearing this, Li Weide put down the parchment in his hand, pondered for a while, and then slowly nodded.

Ghosts can actually interact with each other, but things like fighting rarely happen because ghosts have no sense of pain.

If you don't feel the pain when you get beaten... then there's no point in fighting.

Therefore, Slytherin asked him this question directly after remembering Levid's research on the soul.

"There is a way..." Li Weide said hesitantly, rubbing his hands.

"Tell me, what benefits do you want?" Slytherins are used to it.

"What benefits? That's too vulgar! I'm just thinking about the cultural heritage of Hogwarts!" Levid said righteously.

"Well..." Slytherin turned to look at Helena, "This kid has his eyes on your mother's tiara."

"Nonsense! I'm just trying to return the Hogwarts artifacts to their rightful owners!"

Chapter 257 He dares to stab people, so what if I hit them with a branding iron?

After many years, when Helena heard the word "crown" again, she still couldn't hide the sadness on her face.

"I'm already dead, so the crown has no use to me anymore... Since you say so, uncle, then take it back to Hogwarts... It originally belonged to my mother, Ravenclaw, and to Hogwarts... I stole it..."

Slytherin nodded after hearing this, then turned to look at Levid.

"Aha! Greedy boy, are you happy now?"

Li Weide wiped his face hard, trying to force a smile on his lips, but it was no use.

"Of course I'm happy. One of Hogwarts' long-lost treasures... the Ravenclaw Diadem, is about to return to Hogwarts. I believe that every Hogwarts student will be delighted from the bottom of their hearts after hearing this news..."

Slytherin sneered and continued with Livid's words, "...Of course, it is necessary to observe and admire it carefully before returning it to the school."

Li Weide rubbed his chin and thought for a moment. "That's a bit far-fetched, Professor. How about... I just finish my research and then tell the school? That way, I don't have to make up excuses to convince myself."

"Whatever you want," Slytherin said casually. "The crown Rowena made herself is indeed unique, and it would be beneficial for you to study it. After all, returning it to the school will just be another place for it to gather dust."

Li Weide looked at Slytherin in surprise: "You don't object?"

"Why should I object?" Slytherin shook his head.

"It seems... you really want to beat Barrow!" Li Weide said in surprise.

"Alas... I really wanted to beat him up and scold him just now, but... what's the use? We are all ghosts now... the dead trapped in the human world. Although we still wander in the world, when people die, it is like a light goes out. Many things in this world have nothing to do with us anymore..." Slytherin seemed a little bored.

Although Slytherin wanted to study immortality, he was not a coward who was afraid of death.

Even if I die, I will move forward bravely, embrace death fearlessly, and continue to explore the mystery of death.

Instead of retreating back into the human world and becoming a ghost...

Slytherin is still upset about the fact that he became a ghost for no apparent reason.

"Okay! Then tell me where the crown is and I'll find time to go there." Li Weide rubbed his hands and smiled.
