The Dark Lord's Guide to Employment at Hogwarts

When he reappeared, Tom and the Slytherins had stopped attacking.

Slytherin looked at his broken cane and the big hole in his abdomen in shock...

"You lose." Tom raised his revolver and blew away the white smoke from the muzzle.

"Why can't I dodge?" Slytherin was shocked.

Of course he saw Tom's movements. It was he who asked Levid to teach Tom this tactic of combining magic with Muggle long-range attack methods.

But... he didn't dodge it?

"Times have changed, old man." Li Weide walked over slowly. "If it was a crossbow, you could certainly dodge it, but this is a bullet."

"When I was outside, I only saw Muggles carrying similar weapons... I didn't expect their weapons to be so powerful..." Slytherin sighed.

Thousands of years ago, weapons like crossbows would have been considered magical weapons in the Muggle world!

This is not a weapon that an ordinary Muggle craftsman can make!

Levid bent down and looked at the huge hole in Slytherin's abdomen.

Slytherin was a ghost, so this attack couldn't actually hurt him, but it could penetrate his Obscurus coat.

The Obscurus's clothes were pierced, and the magic inside would soon dissipate, so Slytherin naturally couldn't use magic.

That's why Tom said Slytherin had lost.

Levid took out a piece of Obscurus's magic and repaired Slytherin's coat.

"Very good...it is indeed my loss!" It was only at this time that a relieved smile appeared on Slytherin's face.

Although Tom did take advantage of the power of Muggle weapons, didn't he, the Slytherin, also take advantage of Tom's young age and inability to Apparate?

Li Weide looked at Tom, who finally breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Well, wands really aren't as effective as guns, are they?"

Tom didn't answer, but said directly in a commanding tone: "Teach me how to Apparate!"

"what?"

"I don't want to learn your other spells! Just teach me Apparition!" Tom's tone was very firm.

Tonight's battle made him fully realize the great role of Apparition in combat...

Li Weide turned and left. "Let your ancestors teach you. I don't have time. I make hundreds of thousands of gold galleons every minute! How can I have the time to teach you?"

Chapter 315 No one is optimistic about me, but I just don’t live up to my expectations!

Li Weide once again became a hands-off boss and went back to sleep.

But Tom was not disappointed. He looked at the old ghost standing over there again...

Slytherin! The greatest of the Four! His own ancestor!

Although I couldn't agree with some of this ancestor's actions before, but...

With Slytherin here, it means that from today on, I no longer have to beg Levid to teach me new magic!

Is there any powerful magic that Slytherin can't do?

Haha, Li Weide, I, Tom, will never need you again! The turnaround begins today!

"You should learn more from Vader in the future. Although I don't want to admit it, my magic and fighting methods are outdated... Only by learning from him can you fully realize your potential. I can't teach you too much anymore..." Slytherin sighed.

"Ah?" Tom was a little confused. At this moment, he not only felt pain in his arms and legs again, but also felt a chill in his heart.

No... you're a Slytherin! You're my ancestor!

Shouldn't you protect me, teach me personally, and finally let me make a strong comeback and defeat Li Weide! ?

Why do you still let me be a lackey?

At this moment, Slytherin looked at Levid's departing back, then looked at Tom who was standing there in a daze, and couldn't help but sigh again.

Although Tom is indeed very good, but compared to Li Weide...

"Great Slytherin!" Tom felt he had to speak up.

"What's wrong?" Slytherin was very satisfied with Tom's address.

"Help me become stronger! I want to defeat Levid!" Tom said solemnly.

Slytherin frowned and said, "But I am best at the Dark Arts, and you are no longer interested in the Dark Arts. So..."

Tom was dumbfounded again. "Is it too late for me to regret?"

"I believe in your talent, Tom... Whether you accept the dark arts or choose another path, you will definitely become stronger, maybe even stronger than I used to be." Slytherin said solemnly.

Tom's mood suddenly brightened upon hearing this. However, just as the corners of his mouth lifted...

"...There is no problem with you becoming stronger, but...if you want to surpass that kid...well, I can only say that you can try hard. However, some people are born to be favored by God, so don't force yourself, just do your best..." Slytherin didn't finish his words, just patted Tom on the shoulder, and then Apparated away.

The smile on Tom's face suddenly froze, and after a long while, he uttered a word through his teeth.

"Shet..."

No one is optimistic about me, but I still don’t live up to my expectations!

……

Although Slytherin might not be able to teach Tom as much magic as Dumbledore, he still used Transfiguration to rebuild a house in the most secret place in the forest so that Slytherin could have a place to stay and not have to stay in a goblin metal container on Levid's body.

However, Slytherin still has rich combat experience, and therefore, Tom disappears for an hour or two every night.

Few people knew that he went to that secret stone house to hone his fighting skills with Slytherin.

And Li Weide was one of the insiders, because he helped to create the Traceless Extension Spell in the stone house.

Li Weide knew very well why Tom was so eager to become stronger.

Even though Tom's behavior has changed a lot, his unyielding character remains.

Li Weide did not interfere much in this matter. He knew very well that the stronger Tom was, the more help he could be to him.

……

After teaching his companions a few more powerful spells at Riddle Manor, Levid began to become elusive again.

Sometimes it would disappear for several days, and sometimes it would suddenly "refresh" in Tom's cabin...

No one knows what he did when he disappeared.

A week later, Li Wei De appeared again, riding a broom that was so fast that it was frightening. He then directly crashed into the roof of Tom's cabin and made a hole...

"You'd better give me an explanation, Wade." Tom looked at the collapsed roof.

Li Weide brushed off the sawdust on his body and looked unharmed.

"Don't get excited, Tom, I will repair the roof for you. I was just testing the anti-collision function of the new broom and the protective function of the emergency airbag spell!" Levid raised his wand and began to repair Tom's roof.

"You're testing the anti-collision function and you come to crash into my house?" Tom now wondered if Li Weide's brain had suddenly gone dark.

It would be great if water really got in, then I could easily step on it!

Li Weide explained: "In fact, I was aiming at the big tree next to it. But at the last moment, the wind direction suddenly changed..."

"A big tree? The Barnes black poplar next to it? In fact, that tree is a very rare species, and it's older than my grandfather. There are less than fifty Barnes black poplars of this age in the whole of Europe..." Tom said with squinted eyes.

"This tree species is so rare now? That's not right! You don't read any books except spell books, how can you know so much? So you are talking nonsense, right?"

"Anyway, the tree grows in my home, so I think it's as precious as it gets."

"Ahaha... thanks to the breeze just now, I didn't have to be blackmailed by you." Li Weide had completely repaired the roof by now.

"Coincidentally, the house is also mine. It's as precious as I say it is... So, pay me some money! It's not much, just 10,000 gold galleons!" Tom said, stretching out his hand.

Li Weide checked his surroundings, then patted his clothes and finally put his wand into his pocket.

"What's the compensation?"

"House! You smashed my house!"

"When did I crash your house? Isn't your house fine?" Li Weide said and ran away with a swagger.

Tom looked at the intact roof and couldn't help but sigh with regret.

When it comes to shamelessness, he is still no match for someone... He should have stopped Li Weide from repairing the house just now!

As soon as Livid went out, he ran into Henry and Alphard, "Is my broom fast?"

"I was just about to ask you where you bought your broom! This is so fast!" Alphard exclaimed. "I just looked up and it was like I saw a shooting star!"

"Buy? No, a real man makes everything he wants by himself." Li Weide took out the flying broom.

The broom still looked intact, without any scratches like it would have after crashing off someone's roof!

"Make it yourself? Merlin! Wade, you are simply my idol!" Henry reached out and touched the broom.

"You have all seen good things, so I want to ask, how many gold galleons can a broom like mine sell for?" Li Weide asked happily.

"What's the top speed? What other features does it have?" Alphard asked.

Li Weide began to introduce: "The speed is about 60 miles per hour. It is equipped with a very advanced anti-collision function to protect the broom, and it is also equipped with a very strong anti-collision air spell! Even if a violent collision occurs, it can ensure the safety of the wizard himself, and the flying broom will not be seriously damaged. You just saw it, I was hit hard, but I was not injured, and there is not even a scratch on the flying broom!"

"This is a work of art!" Henry said excitedly. "I bet no broom on the market can perform as well as this one!"

Alphard also said: "Yes! I dare say that even if the price is one thousand gold Galleons, there will be people willing to buy it! Especially the national Quidditch team..."

"So, you have been studying this flying broom all this time?" asked Charlie who was watching.

He didn't know much about flying brooms, but it sounded pretty impressive...

"No, no, no... I'm researching something else, but this thing just happens to be able to be used on a flying broom." Li Weide said with a smile.

In fact, he had been communicating with Nicolas Flamel over the past few days to study the feasibility of using the Gubley fairy fire as an energy source.

In the end, both of them were certain of one thing, that is, the Gubulai Fairy Fire could not continue to burn without any cost!

Because whether it is Muggle science or wizard alchemy, there is a most essential principle, that is, energy is conserved.

Finally, with the help of the magic observer provided by Nicolas Flamel, Levid observed what was burning in the Gubley fairy fire.

Even the fierce fire needs oxygen to burn, but the Gubulai fairy fire does not burn with oxygen, but with a strange magic power!

This magic is hidden in the air and is usually invisible, but the spell of the Guble Fairy Fire can ignite this invisible magic.

As long as this magic power exists, the Gublai Fairy Fire will continue to burn!

After the two of them tested it, they found that this magic was just like the air, everywhere...

The reason why those ancient runes have magical powers is that after they are successfully carved, they can attract the magic hidden in the air!

In other words, the burning of the Gublai fairy fire is completely safe and harmless.

This discovery excited both Levid and Nicolas Flamel.

Livid designed the Gubley Fairy Fire Energy Core overnight and sent the blueprint to Nicolas Flamel.

With the help of Nicolas Flamel, the first generation of Gubley fairy fire energy core was born.

This is a cheaper, more powerful, and safer energy core! It can provide much more energy than simply carving ancient runes.

In his excitement, Li Weide thought about doing something with the energy of Gublai Fairy Fire...

He originally planned to make a battle puppet or something, but when he was packing up, he happened to see the flying broom in his pocket...

The reason why the flying broom can fly is because its core components are engraved with magic circuits that can bring about the effects of suspension and movement.

But the power that ancient runes can provide is ultimately limited!

So, Li Weide conveniently stuffed the Gublai Immortal Fire Energy into the core component...

At this time, everyone was still discussing how many gold galleons a broom like Li Weide could sell for.

But at this time, Andrews, who was passing by, was pessimistic about this.

"It's not that easy... In every country, the trade in these products is monopolized by certain pure-blood families... Over the years, their interests have become closely intertwined. Even if you, boss, have a wealthy family background, you'll have to pay a huge price to get a piece of the action... This isn't a problem that can be solved simply by having a good product..."

Chapter 316: Everything is difficult at the beginning? Don’t worry, Grindelwald has already fired the first shot of the revolution!

"Andrews, you're right. This is the limitation of the entire wizarding world right now!" Livid said with a smile. "In just one week, you've made considerable progress!"

Andrews sighed, "I've just suffered too much from them... I think purebloods are all pretty much like this, no matter which country they come from..."

"It's normal. Since ancient times, successful families have inevitably considered themselves superior to others. To maintain their status, they've needed to suppress the weaker ones. To prevent their position from being overturned, they've also needed to maintain their strength. The most basic approach is to maintain the purity of their bloodline... Marriages between powerful families ensure the continued strength of their descendants. These pure-blood families have long existed..." Li Weide said, reclaiming the flying broom from the crowd. "Since we're on the subject, I'd like to discuss this with you... If we want to build a better world, we can't avoid these difficult social phenomena."
