The Dark Lord's Guide to Employment at Hogwarts

"Ah... Senior Newt, it's cool to just turn around and walk away... It's not cool to stop and explain..."

"Explain it to me clearly!"

Chapter 325 It seems that you know too much! (Pulling out the magic wand)

"The explanation is... it wanted to go with me, and I agreed." Li Weide spread his hands.

"How do you know it's going to follow you?"

It happened so fast that Newt still couldn't recover.

Livid pointed at Alduin, who was standing quietly on his shoulder. "This seems obvious..."

“But…if it follows you, that also affects…the Ministry of Magic…” Newt became anxious and couldn’t even speak clearly.

"Ministry of Magic? Those thugs in the Ministry of Magic want to kill it. Are you going to watch it get killed? You should know better than anyone whether this guy is dangerous or not." Levid said patiently.

"This..." Newt recalled the various abnormalities of the fire dragon.

This is indeed a unique fire dragon...unusually intelligent.

Otherwise, it wouldn't be depressed...

In fact, Newt has been a magizoologist for so many years and has seen countless magical animals.

But the depressed fire dragon had only seen the one in front of him.

The violent nature of fire dragons prevents them from having such delicate thoughts...

This fire dragon, perhaps due to the excessive mixing of bloodlines, had some kind of magical reaction, causing it to become much more intelligent, and even showing symptoms of depression...

After spending so much time with it, Newt knew that the dragon was almost completely invulnerable, and its emotions were as stable as death...

In Albania, people are on the chopping block, but they still don't want to move.

The Ministry of Magic, out of fear of trouble, wanted to execute a dragon like this, using the excuse of preventing unknown harm from dangerous creatures...

Admittedly, the Ministry of Magic does not completely prohibit the slaughter of dragons, but that is only for specially bred dragons. After all, the materials from dragons are also very useful to wizards.

However, this fire dragon is wild, and because of its mixed bloodline, it has considerable research value and should not be measured by such standards.

"Then take it away." Newt finally made up his mind.

He had no confidence that he could cure its depression, and in the end it was unable to return to the Fire Dragon Sanctuary.

If you stay, the only thing waiting for you is the executioner's axe...

And it followed Li Weide away, and with his ability, he could at least take good care of it.

"Don't worry, I will take good care of Alduin." Levid nodded.

"I'll tell the Ministry of Magic that it escaped. They tend to be averse to trouble, so they won't pursue the matter too much." Newt paused, then continued, "But you still have to be careful in the future. First, you have to keep an eye on it, and second, don't let the Ministry of Magic find out..."

"This guy is pretty easy to manage," Levid said, looking at Alduin, who lay quietly on his shoulder, his emotions surprisingly stable. "As for not being discovered by the Ministry of Magic... there's even less to worry about. Even if they are discovered, they can just pay a fine."

"That's true. If even a jerk like Grindelwald can be whitewashed, what's the problem with you raising a dragon?" Thinking of Grindelwald, even someone like Newt would become more vicious.

……

Alduin was very pleased with his new appearance.

For this purpose, Li Weide even placed a large mirror in the large cage he prepared for it...

"What is this?" Tom was a little confused when he first saw such a "strange bird", but when he took a closer look, he was shocked.

"It's just an ordinary little flying dragon." Li Weide explained calmly.

The Little Wyvern is an owl-sized creature that looks very similar to a dragon and is a frequent visitor to the wizard circus.

Tom frowned and looked at Li Weide. "I've never seen a little flying dragon that looks like a Hungarian Horntail..."

"Hehe, it seems you know too much..." Li Weide pulled out his wand with a grin.

"Ahem, it seems I'm ignorant. This is the first time I've seen it today." Tom laughed awkwardly.

"Oh, that's true. You really haven't seen much of the world." Li Weide expressed great satisfaction with Tom's awareness of the current situation.

Tom breathed a sigh of relief after watching Levid put away the Elder Wand.

"By the way, why are you here, Senior Newt?" Li Weide asked.

Tom replied, "I came to ask him about Hydra... You know, it's my Patronus. I'm curious if this magical creature really exists in the world."

Originally, Tom wanted to avoid Levitra, but later he felt bored staying at Henry's house, so he came to visit Newt and asked about the information about Hydra.

Who would have thought that he would come here and actually meet Li Weide?

"So? What did Senior Newt say? Has he ever seen this magical animal?" Li Weide's interest was also piqued.

Tom shook his head. "He hadn't seen one either. However, he had seen similar bones in a ruin in the North Sea... but he only saw nine giant snake skulls. The rest of the bones were missing. So, he had no clear evidence to prove it was a Hydra, or perhaps it was just nine giant snakes that died together there... It was precisely because of this lack of evidence that he didn't include this creature in his book."

"Generally speaking, the patron saints of wizards seem to be creatures that only exist in this world..." said Li Weide.

"I don't know either...it's not mentioned in the book, but I wrote to Professor Dumbledore. I'm sure there will be an answer soon." Tom was also very curious about this question.

"Well, if such a creature really exists, it must be spectacular." Li Weide was fascinated.

"Indeed..." Tom was also a little absent-minded...

It was as if I saw an extremely huge and ferocious creature standing on the sea.

“I don’t know if its meat is delicious.”

Tom: “Huh?”

"Do you think Hydra meat tastes good?"

"how could I know!"

"What do you think it will taste like?"

"Then... maybe it's eel flavored... or chicken flavored?"

"If you really find one, try cutting some off. It's so big anyway, it probably won't even notice if you cut off a little bit."

"Hiss... Is your gut made of steel? If we really find it, I definitely won't go with you to see it!"

……

After returning to Riddle Manor with Tom, Levitra also packed his luggage and left the manor with Andrews and the others. After all, all the other companions had left, and there was no point in him staying.

Slytherin stayed behind temporarily, wanting to personally train his own offspring...

In his opinion, Tom's skills were still not enough.

Although most of Slytherin's skills were too dark to be taught to Tom, he still remembered many of his close friends' skills.

Next, Li Weide chose neither to go to the base in Knockturn Alley nor to return to the safe house.

Now that many of his studies have come to a temporary halt, he wants to take advantage of this holiday to travel around and have a good time.

Li Weide even sent a letter to Toby to come over and bring Tom Cat along as well.

When traveling, it’s better to travel with a group of people.

Three days later, the Thestral carriage stopped on a reef on the shore of the North Sea.

Livid jumped off the carriage and threw Alduin, who was lying on his arm, out.

After being thrown out, Alduin's body suddenly grew larger, returning to the size of a normal fire dragon, and then soared into the sky!

In the sky, Alduin was flying comfortably, while Andrews and Elena beside the carriage were stunned.

Andrews held the Thestrals pulling the cart tightly, otherwise the two poor Thestrals would have been scared away.

At this time, the house-elf Toby had calmly jumped off the carriage and began to set up the travel tent skillfully.

After secretly taking a look at Lewd and Toby, Tom Cat pulled out a broom from the carriage and jumped on it.

"Ka-ka," it tapped the broom tail a few times with its heels, and the whole cat was carried up into the sky by the flying broom! Chasing towards Alduin who was flying not far away...

"Boss...your cat...flew away." Elena said stutteringly.

"It's okay, it will come back when it's tired of playing." Li Weide put his hand on the awning and looked at it, then said indifferently.

The thing about Tom Cat is that even if you give him a piano and a music sheet, he can learn it quickly...

Although it is not scientific, it is very magical.

Elena wanted to say that she had never seen a cat like this before...

But when she remembered the Hungarian Horntail that Li Wei De had just thrown out, which could change size at will, she shut her mouth.

As long as you have a connection with this boss, many strange things seem to make sense.

If I keep making such a fuss, I'll seem out of place... It's normal to be like Uncle Andrews.

While Toby was still setting up the tent, Li Wei De got a lounge chair and lay on the beach nearby to bask in the sun.

Andrews cast some common protective spells around, such as the Muggle-repelling spell.

Of course, this is just a precaution. After all, there are no Muggles within two kilometers around here, only a few wizard villages.

There is a spell near the wizarding village to prevent Muggles from entering.

Li Weide was lying on a recliner, holding the broken jade in his right hand, looking at it carefully in the sunlight.

Now, the magic power that was consumed by Beng Yuzhong to help Li Weide replenish his ancient magic has been fully restored.

At the moment, the condition seems to be pretty good. Li Weide only needs to stuff the "residues" in and the rest of the time he just has to wait.

But...it's not impossible to continue to improve.

At this time, Andrews also drove the carriage to a nearby place. After putting the Thestrals aside to rest, he used the Levitation Spell to lift the carriage up and began routine inspection and maintenance...

Seeing this, Li Weide put away the broken jade and strolled over.

"How did this carriage fly?" asked Li Weide.

Although the Thestral can fly, according to physics, two flying objects cannot fly smoothly by relying solely on speed to pull a non-flying carriage. Moreover, there is no bumpy feeling when it stops. Li Weide would not believe that there is no small device on this carriage.

Sure enough, Andrews pointed to a component at the bottom of the carriage and said, "Actually, there's a core assembly underneath the carriage, similar to a flying broomstick... that allows the carriage to levitate. The Thestrals only need to pull the levitating carriage. So, if you travel by carriage, the Thestrals pulling it can last a long time."

"A device that can levitate?" Li Weide stroked his chin as he examined the gadget. "Can you dismantle it and show it to me?"

"Of course... I was going to take it apart for inspection." Andrews said as he took off the suspension core and handed it to Li Weide.

Li Weide took it and looked at it for a while, then suddenly smiled, "I have another idea... The Gubulai Fairy Fire Energy Core can be used again..."

Chapter 326 Vader's Moving Castle

"Boss, do you have any new ideas?" Andrews was somewhat used to it.

"Yes, that's a new idea!" Li Weide said. "This levitation device relies solely on a magic circuit composed of various ancient runes to provide the magic power for levitation. However, this power has its limits after all, and it can't lift anything too heavy."

"Yes, so carriages are generally made lighter, the simpler the better... This carriage is loaded with a lot of things, and it's actually quite heavy. The Thestrals will run much slower when pulling it." Andrews said.

"This is because your suspension core is not good enough. I'll change it for you..." Li Weide ran away happily with the suspension core.

Andrews couldn't help scratching his head. "We agreed to come here for vacation? Why are you tinkering with it again..."

More than ten minutes later.

The Thestral pulled the carriage quickly through the air...scaring Andrews in the driver's seat so much that he broke out in a cold sweat.

“Too fast… too fast…”

Andrews finally landed after a while, but the two Thestrals still looked relaxed.

"Hmm...it seems the new energy core can completely replace the magic circuit composed of ancient runes."

Li Weide sat aside, drew the blueprint of the suspension core, and then wrote down some ideas. Then he took out an owl and asked it to take the manuscripts to Nicolas Flamel.

Nicolas Flamel's alchemy is unmatched, and he is also trustworthy. He can help Levid improve many things.

As he watched the owl fly away, a bold idea slowly emerged in Li Weide's mind...

……

Night falls.

The carriage stopped beside the tent.

Li Weide sat in a rocking chair and admired the stars in the sky, but his mind was thinking deeper.
