The Dark Lord's Guide to Employment at Hogwarts

You can just find some excuse and delay your application for ten days or half a month! Until you give up...

He had seen this kind of trick many times before he came to this world...

Dumbledore continued, "It was only when I received Grindelwald's educational reform plan that I learned of the connection between the two, but... it was too late. It was also only then that I realized that the British Ministry of Magic had been deeply infiltrated by Grindelwald... After all, according to the Ministry of Magic's previous efficiency, it would take at least a year or two to implement new laws, but this time it only took a short time..."

Levid understood it perfectly. "If the Ministry of Magic is controlled by Grindelwald, then the public's anger will not affect their decision-making at all. As long as the Ministry of Magic withstands the pressure, Hogwarts will not be closed because of the death or injury of students..."

According to the original history, the reason why Hogwarts was almost closed after the basilisk was killed by the basilisk was because of pressure from the Ministry of Magic, not pressure from the public.

And now that the Ministry of Magic is under the control of our own people, who can force Hogwarts to close?

At the same time, Levid also understood why Dumbledore was so conflicted.

He is blaming himself!

If he had not been afraid of power and had really followed Principal Dippet's advice and entered politics earlier, perhaps these things could have been prevented from happening.

But now... as the Ministry of Magic is gradually infiltrated, even if Dumbledore wants to go into politics now, he is powerless to do anything about many things.

Dumbledore was tormented by the feeling that he had the ability to stop it but was powerless.

Therefore, after hearing Levid's question, Dumbledore felt so guilty and conflicted...

Li Wei De couldn't help but admire him. "This old guy... he's really thoughtful. He's blocked all the escape routes... As expected, Grindelwald, who has changed his style, is much more dangerous than before."

Dumbledore sighed, clutching the Elder Wand tightly in his hand. "When the last resort comes... I have no choice but to..."

Li Weide quickly held his hand. "Not really, not really, it hasn't reached that point yet! At least... the level design is in my hands, isn't it?"

With Grindelwald's wisdom, he would certainly have thought that Dumbledore might take a risky move. Levid didn't believe that he was completely unprepared!

Therefore, even if Dumbledore really intended to kill Grindelwald at all costs, he might not succeed.

It would be even more difficult if Dumbledore failed even after risking everything.

"Well... yes, this is indeed good news." Dumbledore's tense expression finally relaxed a little.

At this time, Professor McGonagall, who had been listening for a long time, finally understood half of it.

Although I still don’t understand the first two Grindelwalds, at least I understand the latter ones.

"Wade, since you designed the level, can you remove those dark creatures in it?" Professor McGonagall said anxiously.

She really couldn't imagine how helpless her young students would feel when facing those powerful dark creatures...

Moreover, the most terrifying thing about dark creatures is not their aggressiveness, but the fact that many of their attacks carry strong black magic curses!

If we are not careful, those students may be left with scars that they will have to bear for the rest of their lives...

Of course, having scars is still lucky... What if I were disabled... losing an arm or something, it would be a lifelong thing!

Ordinary disabilities are nothing in the wizarding world, and regenerating severed limbs is still possible.

However, that is only limited to ordinary injuries!

If you are injured by a black magic curse, there is no possibility of regeneration!

In the original history, the legendary Auror Moody was like this...

The long battle with the dark wizards caused him to lose an eye and a leg.

Because the dark wizard's attack contained a dark magic curse, his lost eyes and legs could not be regenerated! The horrible scars on his face caused by the dark magic could not be removed at all!

Li Wei De pondered and said, "Although Grindelwald requires that the difficulty not be reduced too much, there are still some solutions. First, we can do something with the dark creatures Grindelwald has prepared. For example, we can seal their cursed attacks or weaken their attack power. Or, we can simply replace some of the dangerous dark creatures with battle puppets."

"What if Grindelwald finds out?" asked Professor McGonagall.

"There's no need to hide it. We should go and talk to him openly!" Li Weide said.

"Yes...you can indeed talk to him." Dumbledore nodded.

"But...how could he agree?" Professor McGonagall asked in surprise.

Livid explained: "Professor McGonagall, although Grindelwald is a villain, his purpose is not to harm students. This is meaningless to him. His purpose in carrying out educational reform is to gradually enhance the combat capabilities of the new generation of wizards, not to obtain a large number of disabled people who have lost their combat capabilities! So, he will agree!"

Professor McGonagall hadn't come to her senses yet, so when she heard Grindelwald's plan, she subconsciously thought he wanted to harm his students.

Now after hearing what Li Weide said, I can finally feel relieved.

What Levid said made sense. Grindelwald's plan could not be to harm students. This was meaningless to him.

"I will go and speak to him," said Dumbledore.

"Let me go. After all, I am the one designing the levels now," said Li Weide.

"Then I will watch from the side," Dumbledore said solemnly, picking up his Elder Wand. "As you said, my presence will intimidate him. In this case, as long as I stand aside, he will not be able to think calmly."

"That's right." Li Weide nodded.

At that time, as long as Dumbledore stands aside, the old guy Grindelwald will at least focus 80% of his attention on Dumbledore!

This old guy is always on guard against Dumbledore's unsportsmanlike behavior.

After Levitra finished his report, Dumbledore picked up Levitra's Elder Wand and asked, "Levitra, this wand... you should know its legend?"

"Well... I've read The Legend of the Three Brothers." Li Weide said.

"Then you should know the situation of this wand... So, you have its approval?" asked Dumbledore.

Li Weide nodded and said, "I took it directly from Grindelwald. According to the rules, I am its owner now."

"Okay." Dumbledore happily handed the Elder Wand back to Levid.

Li Wei De took the Elder Wand and immediately felt the powerful magic within it again, as well as... a vague sense of dependence of the Elder Wand on him...

"This way, your strength will increase again! This will make me feel more at ease." Dumbledore said with a smile.

"Professor, can I see your wand?" Li Weide asked hesitantly.

"Of course." Dumbledore handed his Elder Wand to Levid.

Levitra took over Dumbledore's Elder Wand... This was his first time coming into contact with the Elder Wand of this world.

He felt warmth, and at the same time, Li Weide also felt the same powerful magic.

However, unlike the old wand that recognized him as its master, Levitra felt a clear sense of resistance when he held Dumbledore's old wand in his hand.

In fact, if Levid had not obtained another elder wand that submitted to him, he would not have felt this tiny gap... This is a hidden sense of resistance!

Li Weide was very sure that although he could feel the power of this magic wand, he could not unleash its full power!

Levitra nodded secretly. No wonder Voldemort was always convinced that he was the master of the Elder Wand... He had never held an Elder Wand that truly submitted to him. He could only feel the power of the Elder Wand, but not the resistance within it...

However... the two elder wands in the parallel world, although they look exactly the same, are actually two different wands!

At least, the owner they recognize is different.

Levid thought that there would be some similarities between the two wands. For example, Dumbledore's Elder Wand might also react to him.

But it turns out that the same items in parallel worlds do have their differences!

Chapter 289 Grindelwald: Negotiation? You're clearly here to make demands!

While Levander was comparing the two elder wands, Dumbledore had already roughly told Professor McGonagall what had happened before.

Even though Professor McGonagall was extremely intelligent, it took her a while to figure out the concept of parallel worlds, which she had never encountered before.

"So Vader did something truly remarkable tonight!" Professor McGonagall said excitedly. "Just imagine how dire the consequences would have been if Grindelwald had taken the Elder Wand back! And Vader stopped him!"

Upon hearing this, Li Weide just shook his head modestly, "It was just luck..."

In fact, Levid felt that whether Grindelwald got the Elder Wand back or not, the situation would not be much different from now.

After all, even with the Elder Wand, he was only afraid of Dumbledore. Without the Elder Wand, given Grindelwald's strength, it seemed that he was only afraid of Dumbledore.

Although Levid is very powerful, he still cannot surpass Grindelwald.

He lacks practical experience, which requires time to hone. Dumbledore's special training with Levid is also to train him in this area.

If Levid, who still has little practical experience, were to face Grindelwald, he would most likely suffer a loss if he failed to overwhelm the other with magic power.

Although Levid's strength has greatly increased after he got the Elder Wand, it may take a few years for him to completely suppress Grindelwald in terms of magic power.

Of course, if his ancient magic could be upgraded again now, he could save himself the development time of these years.

It’s a pity that all the known ancient magic hotspots have been absorbed by Levid.

If his ancient magic wanted to progress again, he had to find new ways.

At this moment, Li Weide suddenly remembered the mottled ancient magical powers produced when various dark creatures gathered together.

Perhaps... if he wants to improve his ancient magic, he has to start from this aspect!

It just so happens... the level design falls into his hands, which means that those dark creatures in Grindelwald's hands... are now under his disposal!

It seems that the experiment of purifying ancient magical power is about to be arranged...

I don’t know if the senior has recovered, otherwise it would be best to give this experiment to her.

After all, in this world, unless the ancient sage traveled through time and space to the modern era, no one else knew ancient magic better than her.

"Let me see your contract again."

Dumbledore took Levid's magic contract again and read it carefully, fearing that his student would suffer.

Levitra also returned the Elder Wand to Dumbledore.

"Let's go talk to that old guy tomorrow," said Li Weide.

"Okay, we'll go tomorrow." Dumbledore also smiled.

Professor McGonagall finally accepted the reality that Levid was a powerful wizard, completely different from an ordinary little wizard.

Is it possible for an ordinary person to seize the Elder Wand from a wizard like Grindelwald?

Therefore, she was not as resistant to Li Weide's involvement in these dangerous things as before.

She said to Li Weide seriously: "Weide...you are not fighting alone. If you need my help, please don't hesitate to ask!"

Li Weide's eyes widened in surprise, "Really?"

"Of course it's true!" Professor McGonagall nodded.

Levid is fighting with Grindelwald!

Strictly speaking, Li Weide is not only her student, but also her comrade-in-arms!

How could she not offer him help?

"Well... I really need your help now." Li Weide said awkwardly.

"What do you need from me?" Professor McGonagall asked immediately.

Li Weide hesitated for a long moment before speaking awkwardly, "Uh... well, that's it... Can I not do Transfiguration homework anymore?"

Professor McGonagall: ? ?

Dumbledore put his hand to his forehead, "Oh... Wade..."

……

Twenty minutes later.

Li Weide returned to the dormitory with brisk steps.

He didn't expect that he could get such a big bargain just by taking Tom out to catch snakes and walking the cat tonight!

This is the Elder Wand!

According to Levid's rough estimate, casting spells with the Elder Wand can increase the power of his spells by about 20%!

No wonder Dumbledore can now ignore all the skills and just rely on magic to beat Grindelwald!

However, it seems that Grindelwald's magical skills are indeed not as good as Dumbledore's.

After all, according to the original history, Grindelwald, holding the Elder Wand, was ultimately defeated by Dumbledore, who had not yet resolved his emotional issues.

Of course, it was not as easy as imagined for the historical Dumbledore to defeat Grindelwald who held the Elder Wand.

In fact, for Levid, the Elder Wand is not actually the biggest gain.

The biggest gain tonight is...from today on, he doesn’t need to do homework anymore!

In the dormitory, the other roommates were already fast asleep, and Tom was curled up on the bed, just falling into a drowsy sleep.

What happened tonight really frightened young Tom...
