The Dark Lord's Guide to Employment at Hogwarts

Li Wei De asked everyone to find chairs to sit down in the rest area of ​​the training ground, and Tom appeared in the crowd without knowing when.

"This situation continues to this day. However, due to the inherently small wizard population and the scarcity of pure-blood families, many once-glorious pure-blood families have gradually come to an end over time... as their descendants have become less successful with each passing generation. Biologically speaking, this has a lot to do with inbreeding."

Livid said, his eyes falling on Henry and Alphard. "I just hope these words don't offend you."

Alphard and Henry both shrugged.

Alphard said, "Actually, we all know why so many names were burned off my family tree... The reason our family has continued to this day is because some of our ancestors secretly married half-bloods or Muggles. Of course, the names of those who married Muggles were burned off, while some who married half-blood wizards were kept and pretended to be pure-blood..."

Henry said, "Yes, it's the same in my family. Oh, and in Abu's family too. The Malfoys' ancestors even fanatically pursued the Muggle Queen. At that time, I never heard them talk about pure-blood supremacy."

"So, the pure-blood families that are still continuing to exist are all smart and know how to adapt..." Li Weide said, "Due to historical reasons, these pure-blood families still monopolize most of the social resources until now, and are scattered across all walks of life... The so-called elites in the wizarding world are actually mostly pure-blood wizards from various pure-blood families, or half-blood wizards who are related to pure-blood wizards. As for others, such as Muggle-born wizards... Only a very few lucky ones can successfully make the leap with their excellent abilities and luck."

Henry and Alphard didn't feel anything about this because their family was a well-known pure-blood family.

As for the others, they felt deeply touched.

For example, some Muggle-born wizards...

Muggle-born wizards and pure-blood wizards have completely different starting points. They were accidentally awakened among Muggles and then sent to Hogwarts to study...

Therefore, their only connections in the wizarding world are actually the classmates or professors they know at Hogwarts.

After graduation, except for a few extremely outstanding ones who can change their fate, other ordinary Muggle-born wizards need to start from the bottom and work their way up in the wizarding world.

As for those wizards who don't want to develop in the wizarding world, they will also be at a loss when they return to the Muggle world...

The knowledge they learned at Hogwarts was completely inaccessible to the Muggle world due to the International Statute of Secrecy. Furthermore, because they attended a wizarding school, they were also disconnected from Muggle society. The most fundamental point was that these Hogwarts graduates did not have Muggle academic qualifications...

These wizards can only choose to return to the wizarding world in the end and become one of the puzzle pieces at the bottom of wizarding society.

But pure-blood wizards are different.

Pure-blood wizards have relatives and friends throughout the wizarding world, especially among the elite.

With their connections, it will be very smooth for them to move up after graduation, and they have many options!

Even if they are half-blood wizards, because one of their parents is also a wizard, their path will be much smoother than that of wizards of pure Muggle origin.

Over time, pure-blood families have firmly controlled the elite class, and ordinary Muggle wizards who want to achieve higher achievements need to work several times harder than pure-blood wizards with similar abilities...

This is the cruel reality of the wizarding world right now...

The magical world only feels like a fairy tale at Hogwarts. Once you graduate...

The fairy-tale filter is shattered, and the wizarding world is still a cruel and realistic society, even more unfair than the Muggle world.

"Pure-blood families have monopolized most resources, from positions in the Ministry of Magic to businesses in all walks of life... Are Muggle-born wizards really inferior to pure-blood wizards? Is it true that no one can make a better flying broom or something that can replace the flying broom? Is it true that no one can make a prop to replace Floo powder? There used to be... but now it has disappeared... Why? The use of flying carpets is illegal, and the officials who enacted this law are pure-blood wizards. Substitutes for Floo powder were once created... but soon someone said that these cheaper powders were extremely dangerous. Only Floo powder was the most stable and safest. So Floo powder continued to exist, and the alternative powder disappeared without a trace... Is this really the case?"

"So...is there any way we can change this?" Flitwick asked timidly.

Among everyone, Flitwick was undoubtedly the most touched.

Because of his unique bloodline, he was destined to endure more strange looks in the wizarding world...

To be brutally honest, his status wasn't much higher than that of people like werewolves who were discriminated against...

Therefore, when Flitwick heard Levid explain the current social situation, he was full of confusion about the future.

In fact, if it weren't for Dumbledore, Flitwick wouldn't even have been able to get into Hogwarts!

In the original history, Flitwick was able to become Professor Flitwick... Levid believed that it must be the result of Dumbledore's efforts.

Otherwise, Flitwick's fate after graduation might not be very good.

Given Flitwick's appearance, there's a chance his wand might be confiscated...

"Yes, man! Of course there is a way!" Li Weide said happily. "If even this level of equality can't be achieved, how can I dare to say that the world I dream of building is a better world?"

Flitwick's eyes flickered with hope once again, but soon dimmed again. "But, to break their monopoly for such a long time... it's very difficult to do... If we touch their weak spot, and we haven't grown up yet, they will easily destroy us... just like the flying carpet and that unknown powder that can replace Floo powder..."

"Yes, it is true that everything is difficult at the beginning... But fortunately, someone has helped us take the most difficult step. Someone has already done the job of offending people. Now, all the pure-blood wizards are paying attention to that person's movements... Now is the time when the opportunity arises!" Li Weide said with a smile.

"Who?" Flitwick asked.

"Gellert Grindelwald... have you forgotten? The policy he implemented at the Ministry of Magic before... anyone can pass the exam to enter the Ministry of Magic and take up various positions... That exam doesn't matter whether you are a pure-blood or a Muggle!"

As soon as Levid finished speaking, everyone exclaimed in surprise. They never thought that the first person to try to break the monopoly of the pure-blood family would be Grindelwald!

Moreover, he succeeded! And in the Ministry of Magic, the place where the monopoly should be the most difficult to break!

Tom had been listening quietly in the back. When he suddenly heard these words, he took a breath of cold air!

He knew best that Grindelwald's move was just to whitewash himself and increase his reputation... and Levid was behind it!

So... what if Levid's original goal was to use Grindelwald to break the pure-blood families' monopoly on positions in the Ministry of Magic?

It seems that he is giving advice on how to whitewash Grindelwald and seize power, but in fact, he is using Grindelwald as his sharpest spear!

The most offensive first step was to let Grindelwald go, but those pure-bloods did not dare to touch Grindelwald, so they had to hide aside and observe secretly.

During this time, when the attention of those pure-blood wizards was attracted by Grindelwald, they did not notice the undercurrent!

Many people have different thoughts!

Since many people from ordinary backgrounds can now hold high positions in magic, what about other industries?

The pure-blood wizards didn't realize that many people had already started to eye the cake in their hands!

It can be said that since the reform of the Ministry of Magic, a crack has appeared in the inseparable monopoly between pure-blood wizards for many years!

The giant beast named Monopoly was wounded and bleeding... Countless greedy eyes began to fall on it... The only one missing was the one who would be the first to charge.

Now, everyone's eyes are on Grindelwald, and no one will notice that there is a guy named Levid who is causing trouble in secret.

As long as Li Weide can find a way to secretly fan the flames and continue to let others start charging into battle...

A pure-blood family might be able to easily kill one or two people who dare to covet their cake, but what if there are more people?

The most important thing is that Grindelwald doesn't care about pure-bloods or non-pure-bloods, he only cares about wizards and non-wizards! As long as they are wizards, it's fine!

For this reason alone, those pure-bloods are destined not to stand on the same side as Grindelwald.

Therefore, it wouldn't be difficult for Levid to use Grindelwald to fight against the pure-blood families...

While the pure-blood families are fighting against Grindelwald, those who have begun to covet the cake in the hands of the pure-blood families will begin to attack them...

In this way, the long-standing monopoly of the pure-blood families, who are unable to split their forces, will suffer a fatal blow! Social resources will have the opportunity to be redistributed.

In other words, after Grindelwald reformed the Ministry of Magic, he went from being the sharpest spear to Levitra's strongest shield...

Tom couldn't help but touch his nose. If Grindelwald knew he was being used like this... he wondered if his defense would break...

Chapter 317 Merlin's briefs! The progress bar actually moved!

"If that's the case, then what should we do to continue to make all this happen?" Flitwick asked excitedly.

Li Weide shook his head. "In fact, we don't need to do anything at this stage. Moreover, your current task is not to get involved in these things too early, but to study hard and become an excellent person first!"

"Really... we don't need to do anything? What if..." Flitwick said with some concern.

Levid waved his hand. "There's no such thing as a surprise. From the moment Grindelwald reformed the Ministry of Magic, the years of silence in the wizarding world were broken. The wheel of history has begun to roll forward... This is a trend! When interests move people, there will always be bold people who launch the first wave of attacks."

"These people will definitely fail, but failure doesn't mean they'll gain nothing! They just need to take a bite out of these lucrative pure-blood families, and they'll be full!"

"As long as someone takes the lead, as long as someone benefits from it, there will be a constant stream of people following suit! It's impossible to stop!"

"But we must understand that the Pureblood family has held a monopoly for many years, and their power is deeply entrenched. Even if attacked by a large group, this behemoth will not fall in a short period of time! This war is destined to be a long one."

"However, this is a good thing for us, because we can use this time to slowly accumulate strength and grow... By the time we grow up, the time will be almost right..."

"There is no construction without destruction... If the wizarding world wants to undergo change, it will have to go through a reshuffle. I think that by then, the situation in the wizarding world will be completely different."

After Li Weide finished speaking, his companions started discussing again.

Tom, who was in the distance, remained silent. He admitted that at this stage in this transformation, there was really nothing he and his people could do...

However, although these people can't do anything, Li Weide can!

Tom was sure that with this guy's ability, he would definitely make a fortune during this period!

Otherwise, why has he been working day and night on various researches and inventing various potions and alchemical products?

No, this guy was always doing experimental research when he first entered school...

In other words, this guy had already started planning to do this when he first entered the wizarding world?

Basilisk breeding, flying brooms, new potions...

Tom took another breath. There was no doubt that this guy had already prepared for the situations that were about to happen!

And…given his personality, would he really tolerate others rushing in first to eat the meat? Absolutely not!

If Tom guessed correctly, this guy would definitely be behind the first wave of attackers!

Otherwise, why did he choose to hide all the new things he had created, not sell them, but only sell one or two potions through Professor Slughorn?

Because Professor Slughorn is also a pure-blood and has a lot of connections, those pure-blood families will not react or suppress his business if he sells new potions through Professor Slughorn... But other things are different.

As for why he didn’t hide them all, it was of course because Levid still needed gold galleons to support his early experimental investment.

By the way, he also did business in the Muggle world in partnership with his grandfather and father!

Tom hasn't seen his father for a while now. Ever since he started working with Li Weide, both his father and grandfather have been busy all day long...

However, the family business has also been elevated to a higher level because of this. After all, the products provided by Li Weide are magical products, and their efficacy is unquestionable...

"Destruction leads to construction, I understand." Flitwick jumped down from the tree stump. "I will definitely study hard! I hope I can participate in the construction of the new world in the future!"

"Very good, very energetic!"

After chatting with everyone for a while, Li Weide decided to go back and rest.

He has been busy with research these days and has hardly slept a wink.

He saw Tom at the door.

"We actually have quite a few pure-blood wizards among our members... Your actions are digging the graves of the pure-blood families. They are all stakeholders in this, so are they really willing to follow you forever?"

Li Weide smiled and said, "Why should I force those who are unwilling to follow me? This road is destined to be difficult. Many people will leave, but many people will also join... Those who are unwilling to follow will naturally leave, and those who stay are our comrades."

"People are all profit-driven. If you say all this directly today, many pure-blood wizards who were originally in our team may leave, and then... tell your words to their families. Doesn't that matter?" Tom asked.

"It doesn't matter, because this was originally an open conspiracy. Do you think those pure-blood families are all idiots? Do you think they can't see these problems? No, many people have actually discovered the crisis. But what can they do now that they see it? No one can stop the tide of the times... Therefore, the truly smart pure-blood families are not considering how to stop all this, but how to make themselves the vested interests again in this great change." Li Weide smiled.

Tom frowned and said, "You mean... there will be pure-blood wizards joining in the future?"

"Of course! People are divided into different classes, and the same goes for pure-blood families! There are powerful pure-blood families, and there are weak pure-blood families... Do you think those weaker pure-blood families would also like to reshuffle the cards, and then find a way to erode the powerful pure-blood families, and eventually replace them? There are no permanent allies, only permanent interests. If that's the case, why don't they take a big gamble and choose to join us?"

Tom fell silent upon hearing this...

Li Weide saw this and didn't say anything more to him. He walked straight past him and went to his room. He knew Tom would figure it out soon.

After closing the door, Li Weide habitually set up some protective measures in the room, and then lay down comfortably.

The research on the energy core can come to a halt for now. I'll have a good sleep first, and then I can start researching the converter...

Li Weide thought to himself and slowly closed his eyes.

However, just as he was about to fall asleep...

"Ding! Congratulations to the host, the Dark Lord's progress has increased by 0.1%."

Li Weide suddenly opened his eyes and directly opened the system interface.

To be honest, this system is indeed a defective product...

It was normal at first, but later on, especially after the upgrade, it became a complete mess.

The settlement function of merit points has disappeared. Even if there are merit points received, they will only be stuck for two days and then added to the balance silently.

Although the quality of goods has improved, prices have also become chaotic.

The prices of the products displayed also fluctuated... Therefore, Li Weide guessed that this system might have had a discount function, but something went wrong and the discount was not displayed... This resulted in some obviously useful things being sold very cheaply, while some ordinary products were sold at very high prices.

However, Li Weide would still open the mall every night and buy rare materials when he came across them, just like signing in every day...

After all, even if it is a defective product, the system is still a system, full of magical opportunities.

However, today Li Weide actually heard a system prompt sound that had not appeared for a long time!

Moreover, the words on the system interface that originally read [Dark Lord Achievement: Not Achieved] have now changed.

It became [Dark Lord Achievement: Progress 0.1%].

"Merlin's briefs! The progress bar actually moved! Could this be related to what I told everyone today? Could it really make me a god when it reaches 100%?" Li Weide's curiosity about the system was aroused once again.
