The Dark Lord's Guide to Employment at Hogwarts

"Disapparate" means to disappear from a certain place, while "appear" means to appear in a certain place.

These two parts combined together form a complete Apparition.

"Apparition" refers to a wizard who has mastered the Apparition technique and brings other people along to complete the Apparition technique.

Toby Apparated with Levid from Hogsmeade Village to the Wizard Tower, which was actually "apparition of followers".

Generally speaking, once a wizard has learned the art of Apparition, it will be almost easy for him to learn how to make his followers visible.

"…most importantly, remember the three Ds: purpose, determination, and composure…"

"The first step is that Master Wade must concentrate and imagine the destination in his mind. The clearer the better."

“Step two, let the desire to reach that destination overwhelm every smallest part of your body!”

"Step three, spin on the spot, allowing yourself to enter a state of emptiness. Keep your movements calm and composed... The more confident and calm you are, the easier it will be to succeed. The more hesitant you are, the more likely you are to fail..."

Toby was indeed not lying, he was indeed very familiar with the wizard's Apparition.

In just a few words, he explained the key points of Apparition.

At this time, five meters in front of Li Weide, where the human-shaped target was originally placed, there was now a circle with a diameter of one meter.

And that circle is Li Weide’s current destination. He has to try to Apparate into the circle.

Li Weide held an old wand in his hand and looked at the circle in front of him.

Then he closed his eyes.

Thanks to his powerful memory, the circle appeared clearly in his mind.

Then, according to his previous experience in practicing brain occlumency, Li Weide expressed his strong desire to reach that place in his heart...

Finally, he left everything to the magic itself, and then his body decisively spun on the spot!

"Go away!"

"Snapped!"

When Li Weide opened his eyes, he was already in the circle.

"Ah! Master Wade is such a genius! He succeeded on the first try!" Toby shouted excitedly.

Li Weide was also a little bit unbelievable. He had already prepared for the possibility of separation.

But, this first attempt was successful?

Is Apparition that simple?

"Toby, help me check to see if there are any parts left behind."

Toby said happily, "Master Wade, Toby saw it clearly. You didn't split apart. Not even a hair was left! You succeeded! And it doesn't look like you're practicing Apparition for the first time at all!"

"Merlin, God! When Toby was helping Master Sophic learn Apparition, Master Sophic practiced for over a week and split into two bodies five times, but he still hadn't mastered it..."

Toby's voice suddenly stopped, and then he raised his fist and started to hit his big head, "Oh! Damn it, Toby! Toby, you bad elf! You actually said bad things about your master!"

Li Weide grabbed his arm and said seriously, "Toby, I am your master now. If you want to punish yourself, it can only be for me! Please remember this!"

"Yes... yes!" Toby was almost scared when he realized the mistake he had made.

After a house-elf recognizes its master again, it must cut off all ties with the previous owner. This is why few house-elves change their masters, because most elves cannot let go of their feelings for their previous owner.

Toby's change of owner was an "accident" caused by the system, but since he changed his owner, he had to abide by the rules!

Technically, he is the property of the current owner!

In other words, he has no right to punish himself because of someone else, even if that person is his former master!

The only one who has the right to order him to punish himself is his current master!

"...This won't happen again! Okay, let's try Apparating again."

In order to prevent Toby from punishing himself again for his mistakes, Li Weide gave orders again.

"Yes!" Toby responded with his ears drooping.

"This time, let's try to go somewhere farther..."

……

Perhaps it was because when he was studying brain occlumency, Levid understood the principles of magic very thoroughly, and he also had the magical powers of an adult wizard.

So, when he learned to Apparate, it was surprisingly smooth.

Before long, he was able to move freely between the various floors of the Wizard Tower as he pleased.

Later, Levid grew bolder and bolder. He covered his face with a piece of cloth and then Apparated to Hogsmeade and Diagon Alley several times on his own.

And not a single time he failed, which amazed Toby who had been following him.

Finally, when he returned to the wizard tower from London with Toby and his entourage, he had mastered the art of Apparition to perfection.

Li Weide was delighted to find that his previous study of brain occlusion would be of such great help to his practice of other magics.

This is what they call "one principle applies to a hundred principles"...

All the hard work of that day and night was finally not in vain!

"Master Wade, congratulations on learning Apparition!" Toby shrieked, "However, wizards who want to use Apparition need to pass an exam at the Department of Magical Transportation..."

"Yeah, I understand." Li Weide responded casually.

Just like you need to take a driving test to get a driver's license, you also need to take an exam to Apparate. Only after passing the test and registering with the Ministry of Magic can you use Apparate at will.

However, Li Weide did not plan to take the exam now.

He intended to use Apparition as a hidden card.

You know, there are basically no wizards who can learn to Apparate at such a young age.

If eleven-year-old Li Weide went to take the exam like this, it would definitely cause a sensation.

By then everyone will know that he can Apparate.

Then his trump card would be completely exposed.

An exposed trump card will not be able to achieve a surprise victory at the critical moment!

……

Since practicing Apparition doesn't take much time, it hardly consumes any energy.

So, after resting for a while, Li Weide prepared to continue his original plan.

When he arrived at the wizard tower, he had actually already picked out several black magic spells to practice.

Among these black magics, the one that interested him the most was a black magic called nightmare magic.

This was recorded in a manuscript collected on the fourth floor by a member of the Sommerno family. The inventor is unknown.

After hitting the enemy, this magic can instantly put the enemy into sleep and then control the enemy's dreams at will.

In Li Weide's opinion, using this magic to interrogate people might be more effective than truth serum and forced Legilimency...

And if used to torture people, it would be even more terrifying than the Cruciatus Curse!

After all, if you can control dreams, then you can dream whatever you want...

When the most feared thing in your heart appears in your dreams endlessly... not many people can withstand this torture!

After practicing to a certain level, one can even sneak into the dreams of others while they are sleeping normally, control their dreams, and then quietly spy on their secrets...

Of course, although this black magic is extremely powerful, it is also very difficult to master.

This manuscript has been placed on the fourth floor for such a long time, and many members of the Sommerno family have read it, but only a few of them have truly mastered this black magic.

Because to learn this magic, you need extremely strong soul strength!

Li Weide realized a long time ago that the strength of his soul seemed to be much stronger than that of ordinary people, so he decided to try to practice this magic.

Moreover, this magic can be very concealed when cast, and can even be disguised with a stun spell.

At this stage, Li Weide really needs such a secret and powerful trump card!

Chapter 46 No, where is the black magic?!

The difficulty of learning nightmare magic is higher than Li Weide imagined.

It was not until he had persisted for more than two hours and slept four or five times that he finally understood the helplessness of the generations of members of the Somleno family.

The practice of this magic is really too rigorous.

That first step alone is enough to put most people off.

Because the first step in practicing nightmare magic is to stay awake in the dream...

What does it mean to be awake in a dream?

It means that when you are dreaming, you wake up and realize that you are dreaming, and then stay awake in the dream and try to control and master your dream!

Anyone who has ever dreamed knows that it is difficult for people to realize that they are dreaming when they are asleep.

The person who can wake up from a dream and realize that he is dreaming is only one in a hundred.

What's more, you have to stay awake after waking up and then control your dreams.

Even if you realize you are dreaming, if you remain awake in the dream, you will wake up from the dream...

Therefore, the hard condition of practicing nightmare magic requires powerful soul power, which is not just talk.

"Toby, what time is it now?" Li Weide asked, rubbing his eyes.

He had fallen asleep several times, and every time he just realized that he was dreaming, he woke up and failed...

"Master Wade, it's 4:21 pm now." Toby's voice came from the second floor.

He was making afternoon tea and preparing snacks for Li Weide in the kitchen on the second floor.

"It's almost 4:30... I can still get some sleep!"

Li Wei De picked up the old wand beside him and pointed it at his head again.

"Soundly dreaming!"

White mist emanated from the wand, and then Livid rolled his eyes and fell asleep again...

Fortunately, with the help of spells, this kind of sleep will definitely result in dreams.

Otherwise, if you just fall asleep but don't dream, then this magic will be even more difficult to practice.

Li Weide started dreaming as soon as he fell asleep.

In the dream, Li Weide was sitting leisurely in a beautiful garden, drinking afternoon tea and reading a book, in a very happy mood.

This was thanks to my understanding of the principles of magic from my previous study of Occlumency, as well as my repeated practice of this magic.

This time, Li Weide still quickly realized his true condition.

Li Weide sighed and put down the teacup and book reluctantly.

Compared to the previous dreams, this dream can be considered a beautiful dream...

After Li Weide realized that he was dreaming, the fragrant tea lost its taste, and the book with interesting content became blank.

Just like the endings of the previous dreams, as he woke up, the entire dream began to collapse...

The originally beautiful garden seemed to be covered by a black and white filter, losing all its colors.

Suddenly, the collapse of the surrounding environment stopped.

At the same time, countless white mists suddenly appeared outside the garden wall, slowly climbing over the wall and spreading into the garden...

After seeing the fog, Li Weide quickly began to retreat.

I have seen this scene in several dreams before.

When he comes into contact with the mist, he will wake up immediately.

According to Li Weide's understanding, these mists should be the concrete reminders provided to him by magic.

Otherwise, Li Weide, who was deeply trapped in a dream, had no way of knowing when he would wake up.

At this time, Li Weide had retreated from the table in the middle of the garden to the wall.

The white mist spread over and was less than one meter away from him.
