The Dark Lord's Guide to Employment at Hogwarts

It was only when Grindelwald passed by the lamppost that he heard the murmur of the lantern...

"Oh, I've tried my best. I'm sure Li Weide won't blame me... Who knew those people wouldn't catch the thief and let him in..."

Grindelwald resisted the urge to tear the broken lantern to pieces and walked in through the door curtain.

As for the "No Trespassing" sign outside the tent, Grindelwald treated it as air.

Unlike what I imagined, the tent was pitch black and I couldn’t see the surroundings clearly!

And as soon as he entered the tent, Grindelwald felt that the temperature around him had dropped several degrees!

"What the hell is this guy doing here? Why is it so spooky? Is he having a party with ghosts?"

Grindelwald took out his wand and shone it around, trying to find the light switch.

Since it was pitch black all around, it was obvious that Levid was not here now. Grindelwald just wanted to take a good look at what this kid had been doing all this time!

However, what surprised Grindelwald was that the light from the wand could only illuminate an area of ​​about two meters!

Any further away, the light can no longer shine, as if it has been swallowed by darkness!

So, Grindelwald used magic to give himself night vision...

However, even with the Nightingale magic, Grindelwald still couldn't see through the thick darkness in front of him!

It is obvious that the darkness in front of us must be caused by magic!

"Hmm? There's something!" Grindelwald was also delighted when he saw this.

It would be great if the levels designed by Li Wei De could also have this level of atmosphere.

It is believed that this will be a good way to train the psychological endurance of those students who are trying to pass the test.

You know, in battle, the most important thing is not the so-called magic skills or powerful spells.

The most important thing is always the psychological quality during the battle!

If you are too nervous, even casting a spell successfully becomes a luxury, so what's the point of talking about magical skills?

At this moment, Grindelwald didn't know whether he was in a passage or in the center of the tent.

Because he couldn't see any wall...

Just as he was thinking this, he suddenly noticed a faint outline appearing in front of him, and behind that outline seemed to be a wall!

Grindelwald hurried over carefully.

As he approached within two meters, the light from his wand landed smoothly on the outline.

Grindelwald finally saw it clearly. It was a suit of armor. The armor was leaning against the wall with a sword, standing there quietly, just like the decorative armor in Hogwarts Castle.

Grindelwald examined it carefully and found that this armor was not a puppet, but just an ordinary armor.

"This kid, didn't he steal the armor in the castle? Does Dumbledore know that you did this?" Grindelwald chuckled, moved his eyes away from the armor, and continued walking forward.

However, when Grindelwald looked away, he didn't notice that some red threads quietly stretched out from the gaps in the armor, and then retracted...

Grindelwald walked forward and found that this had turned into a long corridor.

There are more than ten sets of such armor around the corridor, and as you go deeper, some plants begin to appear next to the armor.

Those plants look like ordinary flowers and plants, not the highly dangerous magical plants like the Devil's Snare.

After about five minutes, Grindelwald still hadn't reached the end!

The further Grindelwald walked, the more puzzled he felt. Why did Levid build such a long corridor in the tent?

"Something's wrong!" Grindelwald immediately turned around and walked back the way he came.

However, to his surprise, there was a stone wall behind him!

"Hey! Good boy! Nice tricks!" Grindelwald said admiringly.

Then, he raised his wand, and an invisible magic wave spread out from him to the surroundings!

A smile played on Grindelwald's lips. "I see."

Then, Grindelwald strode confidently towards the wall next to him!

Just when he was about to hit the wall, his body went straight through it!

When Grindelwald passed through the wall, he came to a familiar place again - the starting point of the corridor!

Grindelwald looked in surprise at the familiar suit of armor to his left.

"This is... teleporting me back again? Great! This kind of maze is perfect for use in the level!" Grindelwald said with satisfaction.

Even he felt lost, let alone those little guys.

Now it seems that Li Weide has not placed dark creatures or other things that can cause trouble in this maze. If he did, the difficulty of this maze will be even greater!

Well… since this corridor is a dead end and gives the illusion of an infinite loop, let’s take another route.

Thinking of this, Grindelwald began to walk to the left.

Sure enough, when he got closer, there was another long corridor on the left!

"Not bad... The maze is good, but it's a bit difficult. It could be put in a sixth or seventh grade level..."

Grindelwald stroked his chin in thought.

Suddenly, Grindelwald felt the hairs on his neck stand up!

"Danger!"

This is the intuition he developed from years of fighting!

Grindelwald didn't have time to think and suddenly bent down to dodge!

A long sword passed across his back and hit the wall next to him with a grunt!

Grindelwald's Shield Charm was released instantly.

"Clang clang clang!"

Grindelwald's Shield Charm had just taken shape when he was chopped down by three or four swords!

It was at this moment that Grindelwald discovered that the empty armor that had been standing against the wall in another corridor was now waving a sword and continuously attacking him!

"How is that possible? Isn't this a suit of armor? And there's absolutely no trace of magic on it!" Grindelwald was puzzled.

Some of the suits of armor at Hogwarts actually move, and some can even hum songs.

This is because there is some magic attached to it.

But these armors... Grindelwald has just checked them, and there is no trace of magic at all!

Grindelwald was confident that he was not mistaken! Otherwise, he wouldn't have been so careless as to expose his back to those armors!

However, Grindelwald is not an ordinary wizard after all.

"Swipe!"

Several spells flashed, and the armor was instantly shattered, with armor parts clanging and scattering all over the ground...

Just as Grindelwald was about to turn around and leave, he suddenly noticed from the corner of his eye that there were many tiny red threads deep inside the armor parts.

These red threads stretched out, connecting the scattered armor parts...

Then, with a series of clanging sounds, the armors were restored again!

"Oh! This is quite interesting!" Grindelwald looked at the armors curiously and did not interrupt their restoration.

Obviously, these red threads are the reason why these armors can move!

"What kind of magic is this? Why can't I detect it?" Grindelwald was full of curiosity.

Then he broke all the armors apart again.

After breaking the armor, Grindelwald cast another freezing spell.

The freezing spell was very effective, and all the armors that wanted to be restored were frozen!

In fact, if Grindelwald hadn't been worried about damaging Levid's interesting little things, he would have just set them on fire.

It has to be said that although these armor-like puppets can't do anything to wizards like him, they can still cause some trouble to those students!

"Very good, at least those Galleons were not wasted!" Grindelwald murmured.

Then he approached the fallen suits of armor and began to examine the red threads.

A moment later, Grindelwald was surprised to find that those red threads were not some new type of magic, but living creatures, living creatures!

"Using biological manipulation of armored puppets to launch an attack? This kid... is truly a genius!"

If a puppet is controlled by a living creature, there will be almost no magical aura on the puppet.

This will cause many wizards to ignore the puppet... and then be ambushed.

Grindelwald exclaimed in admiration and then stepped back into the corridor he had just walked through, ready to continue seeing if there was anything new.

"Hmm? Or armor?" Grindelwald said, freezing the armor in the corridor with a freezing spell.

Just when he was about to change his route, suddenly, secret compartments appeared next to the armor.

There is a pot of flowers on the secret compartment...

Grindelwald had just seen this flower, placed next to the armor in the corridor!

"Ha! I knew it. How could it be just ordinary flowers and plants?" Grindelwald laughed.

As soon as he finished speaking, the flowers in the pots suddenly changed their shapes.

The flower, originally the size of a teacup, suddenly expanded to the size of a pot, and a big mouth opened in the pistil, and the big mouth was full of sharp barbs!

The next second, the barbs shot towards Grindelwald like a storm!

"That's it?" Grindelwald's Shield Charm was activated, and the barbs were unable to break through Grindelwald's defense.

But after a while, Grindelwald noticed something was wrong.

Because his originally indestructible armor spell was gradually melting!

"Hmm? Poisonous? Not bad..." Grindelwald cast another powerful freezing spell.

In just a moment, the attacks of those strange flowers stopped.

"Well, it's enough to deal with those students, but it's not enough to deal with a wizard like me...unless you put a dragon in there." Grindelwald chuckled.

As soon as he finished speaking, Grindelwald felt the temperature around him rise instantly!

He looked up in surprise and saw a huge fire dragon of unknown species lying on the wall of the corridor, staring at him!

"Hmm? That's not right! Where did you get the fire dragon?!"

"Boom! Dragon flames burst out instantly!"

Grindelwald raised his hand to block it. Even he did not dare to take the fire dragon's attack lightly.

After all, although the fire dragon is weak, its attack is also deadly. It takes dozens of well-trained wizards to subdue an adult fire dragon.

Grindelwald felt his hands getting heavier and heavier, and he knew that he had to take the initiative to attack.

Just as he was about to use powerful magic to subdue the fire dragon, Grindelwald felt the space around him spinning!

The fire dragon disappeared, and the darkness faded away...

Grindelwald couldn't help but blink, and saw that he was standing in an ordinary round tent.

A suit of armor and a pot of strange flowers were scattered on the ground...

Li Weide was opening a pocket and sucking in a thick black mist...

"What... is going on?" Grindelwald asked in surprise. "Could it be that what I just saw was all an illusion?"

At this time, Li Weide had already collected the black mist and was tying the bag tightly.

"It's an illusion, but it's not an illusion..." Li Weide pointed at the armor and the pot of flowers, "At least... these are real."

"So... what exactly happened?" Grindelwald asked seriously.

To be honest, this illusion that even a wizard like him cannot see through has already attracted his attention!

"I don't know if you've ever read Shakespeare's Hamlet... There are a thousand Hamlets in the hearts of a thousand readers... So... since it's a level-breaking game, why can't there be a thousand different levels for every thousand level-breakers?"

Li Weide smiled and pointed to the bag in his hand.

"This mist is created by combining the magic power extracted from a Boggart with some minor magic... Imagine what kind of enemy you might encounter, and it will manifest that enemy... The same goes for the environment. I call it the Lost Mist. However, this mist still has many flaws, so I don't plan to use it in levels for the time being. So, I'll use this thing as a guard for now... But I didn't expect that even you would be affected. I'm very honored."
