The Dark Lord's Guide to Employment at Hogwarts

"You know, it looks completely different from other dragons... From a human perspective, it's a freakishly ugly deformed creature... at least that's what it thinks. Unless I can change its appearance, it will be depressed until it dies," Newt said helplessly.

"Is that so?" Levid sized up the massive black dragon before him. "I never thought you could have such a sensitive heart despite your imposing stature. A wand made from your dragon heartstrings would probably be even more sensitive than a Veela's hair..."

"Vade..." Newt looked at Li Weide helplessly, "This is not a good time to make a joke. Besides...it can understand."

"I'm sorry, Mr. Scamander... Have you ever tried to use Transfiguration to help him shape himself or something?" asked Levid.

"Transfiguration? Shaping? How is that possible... How can Transfiguration..." Newt paused and looked at Levid with surprise.

He remembered that Levid's transformation skills were so extraordinary that he could even reduce Nagini to the thickness of a thumb!

"I know what you are thinking...but my transformation technique is not permanent. It must be consolidated every few days. Even if I use transformation technique to help it change its form, it will always be just an illusion for it. It is not real. I can't keep it forever. Raising a dragon is illegal!" Li Weide frowned.

"That being said, I have to give it a try... I'll try to continue communicating with it while it recovers." Newt decided to give it a try.

"Then you have to be mentally prepared. If it mistakenly thinks it's been 'cured,' and then returns to its original state, it might commit suicide."

Newt hesitated.

"Also, if it were a human, it would be fine and we could communicate slowly, but it's a fire dragon...how are you going to persuade it?" Li Weide asked again.

Newt shook his head helplessly, his tone a little low, "Let's give it a try... The Ministry of Magic is already impatient. When it comes to these dangerous and uncontrollable creatures... the final measure they take is always the same..."

"They want to kill the dragon?"

“Unless it can recover and return to live in the dragon sanctuary.” Newt sighed again.

"Hmm... those masters in the Ministry of Magic are really weird."

"They're just afraid of trouble... After all, if this dragon gets into trouble, they'll be the first to suffer."

"That's what the Ministry of Magic does." Levid also understood. "Okay, then I'll give it a try..."

Li Weide looked around and said, "It seems your reinforcements are arriving soon... Please don't tell them about me, because I entered the country illegally... We can discuss everything after we get back."

"Ah! By the way, I haven't asked you why you came here yet?" Newt asked quickly.

However, in just a blink of an eye, Li Weide in front of him disappeared.

"Let's go." In mid-air, Levid called out to the Slytherin who had been watching the show, and flew towards the direction they had just discovered.

"Very good, your fighting skills have improved again. Even the most difficult spells can be cast with ease now..." Slytherin said with satisfaction.

You should know that the power of a spell does not necessarily prove that a wizard is powerful, but a wizard who can control the power of the spell at any time is definitely a master among masters.

"It was a very uncomfortable fight, not enjoyable at all." Li Weide frankly expressed his feelings about the battle just now.

At this time, there were bursts of sounds of apparitions coming from the distance, as if the reinforcements Newt called for had arrived.

Levander and Slytherin did not delay and quickly came to the tree hole, and then found an exquisite crown inside...

Li Weide stroked the crown, which was cold to the touch, but the magic contained in it was soft and powerful.

Under the sunlight, the crown exudes a hazy and brilliant light...

"As expected of Ravenclaw... after thousands of years, her crown is still as bright and clean as new." Li Weide played with the crown and couldn't let it go.

It is simply incomprehensible how Voldemort could have the heart to turn such a work of art crown into a Horcrux...

The crown is no better as a Horcrux than using other things as Horcruxes.

Moreover, after becoming a Horcrux, the function of the crown itself will be directly destroyed...

"It's such a waste! No, I have to beat up Tom when I get back!"

"Huh? What do you mean by wasting natural resources? Why are you beating up my poor descendant again?" Slytherin was bewildered...

"Oh, nothing, I just don't like him."

Chapter 323 Otherwise, I'll just call you Beng Yu

Li Weide left much faster than he came.

After traveling most of the way on his broom, he Apparated directly back to Riddle Manor.

It’s not that he didn’t want to Apparate back directly, but Albania was more than 1,800 kilometers away from the UK, and he was not sure if he could do it with his ability. The cautious Li Weide finally chose the safest option.

After returning to Riddle Manor, Levid first put Slytherin back into the stone chamber, then ran back to the guest room and closed the door...

"So... where did you go? Why is this guy in such a hurry? He locked himself up as soon as he came back?" Tom had never seen anyone as hurried as Li Weide.

Slytherin looked at his own bloodline with pity...

"Here's a piece of advice for you, Tom... While he's busy studying his newly acquired treasure, you'd better study how to avoid getting hit less in battle..."

"Why?" Tom was puzzled.

"Because he said he would beat you up when he got back. The specific reason is unknown..."

"Shit! What's got this madman into this?"

Slytherin shrugged. "Who knows? This kid is talking nonsense. Maybe he dreamed about you doing something bad and got angry?"

"Don't say that...don't say that...this really seems like something he would do!"

After saying that, Tom ran back to his room and started packing his luggage... He planned to run away overnight.

Let's go to Henry's house first to avoid the limelight or something...

What if that madman was so engrossed in researching some treasure that he forgot to beat people up?

……

In the room, Levid once again looked at the Ravenclaw Diadem in his hand.

The magic is soft and exquisite...

Although Slytherin had checked it once before, Levitra still carefully checked it many times using various methods before he put the crown on his head with confidence.

It was as if his brain cells were fully activated in an instant. The moment Li Weide put on the crown, he immediately felt that his thinking ability had risen by more than one level!

Even the five senses have been greatly improved!

He looked towards the roof and could clearly see the fine hairs on the spider that was quietly crawling across the beam!

Even the sound of Tom hurriedly packing his luggage in the next room could be heard clearly.

This amplification effect is even greater than that of drinking the Fuling potion!

It is hard to imagine how much greater the strength would be if Ravenclaw wore this crown to fight against the enemy again.

However, Levid found it a little difficult to explain. How could Voldemort be willing to turn something with such a strong amplification power into a Horcrux?

This is a magic item that can directly increase your strength!

For someone like Voldemort, shouldn't strengthening his own strength be his priority?

Could it be that... it's another differentiation of parallel worlds?

This seems to be the only explanation...

Li Weide did not dwell too much on this issue because the crown was so powerful now.

He picked up the manuscript that he had abandoned halfway through studying...

This time, Li Weide's originally blocked mind was very clear, and the inspiration that he lacked before now emerged in an endless stream!

……

During the time that Li Weide was out, the friends who were visiting Riddle's house also went home.

Now, in order to avoid being beaten, Tom also ran to Henry's house to stay temporarily.

For a moment, except for Li Weide who was immersed in research.

In the woods where Tom's cabin was, the only ones left were the lonely old ghost Slytherin, Andrews and Elena.

And so, another week passed.

During this time, Tom sneaked back once, but was scared away again when he found that Li Weide had not come out yet.

Just when Andrews and the others were worried that Li Weide might starve to death, Li Weide finally came out of the room.

After greeting Elena and the others, he went straight to the stone house where Slytherin was.

"How is it?" Slytherin asked as soon as he saw him.

"All the research that confused me before has now been solved..." Li Weide said calmly.

"and then?"

"Then... I discovered the biggest drawback of this crown." Li Weide said seriously.

"What's the disadvantage?"

"Once you put it on, you'll be reluctant to take it off... Everyone is immersed in this feeling of intelligence far beyond their own level... At that time, I felt that I was omnipotent." Livid sighed, "Now I understand why Helena stole Ravenclaw's diadem. Perhaps... the reason is more intuitive."

"Just like some people are obsessed with powerful strength, some people are obsessed with wisdom and knowledge... If the crown is really as you said, then Helena will definitely not be able to resist such temptation. She wants to step out of her mother's shadow too much." Slytherin said with emotion.

"But... it's really surprising that someone like you would be willing to take off the crown?" Slytherin looked at Levid with surprise.

"I'm actually reluctant to part with it, but my heightened wisdom tells me that the seemingly omnipotent self I possess after donning the crown is actually a lie... Wearing it for a long time might lead to bad things. The most basic side effect is... losing the crown will lead to an overestimation of one's own strength. Back when Helena confronted Barrow, she took off the crown and placed it in the tree hole, didn't she?"

"Alas..." Slytherin sighed, "That's why she died so easily under the sword of the Barrow..."

Wearing the crown for a long time, she had a wrong prediction of her own strength... It was like someone who could run the 100 meters in less than nine seconds after taking stimulants, and for a moment thought that she could be as good even without taking stimulants.

I thought I could dodge the attack, but after taking off the crown, I couldn't dodge it...

"So... you're not going to use the tiara anymore?" Slytherin asked.

"No, I will continue to use it. As long as you understand that it is just a tool, there is nothing to be afraid of."

"Are you that confident?"

"I'm not that confident, that's why I came to you. If I ever become unwilling to take off the crown, I just hope you can come and remind me... remind me that it's just a tool, not a part of my body..."

"You were able to realize this problem yourself when you were wearing the crown. I don't think there would be a time like that." Slytherin praised.

"Just in case. You never know what will happen tomorrow. What if I become arrogant in the future?"

"What young man wouldn't become arrogant after gaining powerful strength?" Slytherin muttered.

"Where's Tom?" asked Livid.

"He ran away because he was afraid you would beat him up," said the Slytherin.

"Beat him? Oh... I almost forgot about it when you didn't mention it. Let him come back. I forgive him." Li Weide said calmly.

"No... What did he do to make you forgive him?"

"All you need to know is that you have to give him a beating every once in a while. You're right, what young man wouldn't get cocky after gaining so much power? And if Tom gets cocky, it could be dangerous. He has to be brought down from time to time."

"I always have a feeling that you seem to... be able to see his future?" Slytherin asked hesitantly.

"Why do you ask?"

"I feel like you are always correcting his behavior, even his personality, intentionally or unintentionally... As far as I know, Tom used to be very keen on dark magic." Slytherin said with a sharp gaze.

"Isn't it good as it is now? Don't worry about the details... You just need to know that you can't let Tom think he's invincible."

Li Weide did not explain much. Only in this way could others fill in the blanks on their own and then rely on their own associations to make up for an unknown thing.

This is much easier than lying yourself.

Sure enough, Slytherin had already begun to wonder whether Levid had a talent for prophecy.

……

Li Weide walked out of the stone house and basked in the bright sunshine.

It was indeed much more comfortable outside than staying in the stone house. Slytherin was a ghost, and the stone house was too cold...

Li Weide took a deep breath and then took out a pendant hanging around his neck.

The pendant is inlaid with a blue gem, which reflects a dreamy light under the sunlight.

"How about... just call you Beng Yu? But you're much worse than the real Beng Yu."

Li Weide couldn't help but smile happily.

With the help of the Ravenclaw Diadem, he combined the converter blueprint given to him by his senior and the fairy container blueprint he had previously created this gem...

Therefore, this gem has the function of transforming "residues" as well as storing "residues".

The converted pure magic power can still be stored in the gem. Whenever needed, Li Weide can call it up at any time...
