The Dark Lord's Guide to Employment at Hogwarts

"The kittens and mice are full of energy. It's the right age for them to work hard." Li Weide yawned and started eating lunch.

"It seems you've been quite busy lately... So... have you figured out how to start your so-called revolution? And what about Hydra..."

"Tom, revolution is like crossing a river by feeling the stones. You can't rely on imagination alone to find a path. We can't rush this; we need to consider the current state of society... Did you see Grindelwald's previous so-called revolutionary slogans? They were absolutely based on his own imagination, completely disregarding the current situation. That's why his unrealistic ideas failed after being put into practice... We can't follow his example and make the mistake of leaning to the left and recklessly advancing..."

Chapter 338 Can I lend you my ancestor?

"Tom, have you forgotten? Or did you remind me of this?" Li Weide said while eating the pasta made by Toby.

"So how do you plan to carry out the ideological education course in the new semester? You know, Professor Slughorn has already handed the course over to you. I couldn't continue last semester because you were busy with level design..." Tom said.

Li Weide said calmly, "Don't worry, Tom. The students in school are still young. Before they can even begin to explore the great subject of revolution, they must first establish the correct three perspectives... Think about Abu back then. If they had always maintained such stubborn thinking and lacked the correct three perspectives, they wouldn't have been able to empathize with many serious social issues. In that case, they wouldn't have been able to understand the significance of revolution."

Tom nodded slightly. He thought of Flitwick and those bullied little Muggle-born wizards...

These wizards, who do not have a high status in the wizarding world, are the group most likely to empathize, because Levid's revolution will first improve their situation!

As for other groups, to gain their support, we must first gain their empathy! And to gain their empathy, we must first help them establish the correct three perspectives!

Otherwise, many people who hold vested interests in today's society will not only not support their reforms, but may even hinder them...

"Moreover, we don't know whether our current ideas are in line with the current social situation in the wizarding world... We can't know this just by sitting in school or at home. We have to go out more... and experience more." Li Weide said seriously.

Tom nodded again. "So that's why you travel around during your holidays?"

"No... I'm ashamed to say that I haven't traveled for this purpose yet, because I'm not ready yet. And when I went out before, I always had reasons to go out, for other things, otherwise I would stay in the laboratory..." Li Weide waved his hand.

"Aren't you ready yet? Professor Dumbledore once told me that your abilities are already outstanding. Is there any place you can't go?" Tom was confused.

Li Weide's eyes were deep. "Tom, I can indeed go to many places now. But with our current status, we can only be bystanders at best... and many things are difficult to deeply understand if you can't experience them firsthand. Tom... our exposure to the wizarding world is too short! We actually don't know much about it yet!"

Tom was a little unimpressed by this, "The truth is, I've only been exposed to the wizarding world for a short time, and you haven't."

"Why am I not?"

"Stop pretending. Who doesn't know you have a big family behind you?" Tom sneered. "You're really good at pretending. When I was in the orphanage, I actually thought you were a self-taught genius."

As soon as Tom finished speaking, he saw Li Weide's playful smile, "What? What's so funny?"

Li Weide shook his head and smiled, "...I just think this wave is stable...Even you, who contacted me from the beginning, have misunderstood this, let alone others."

"Are you saying the family behind you is fake?" Tom raised his eyebrows. "You still refuse to admit it?"

Li Weide sighed and said, "Okay, I admit that I have a super powerful family with a super deep background behind me! When I left, I memorized a lot of things at home! However, after I came out, I broke the rules. They won't care whether I live or die! So, if I really encounter any danger, don't expect anyone from my family to come to save me."

He knew so much that it was actually difficult to explain, so Li Weide simply admitted it.

Anyway, there are rewards from the system... His current foundation is indeed similar to that of a big family.

"Really?"

Li Weide's straightforward admission made Tom start to doubt himself again...

"No...you bastard, are you done yet?! I didn't admit it, you said I didn't want to admit it, and now I admit it, you're starting to disbelieve me again?"

"Okay..." Seeing Li Weide getting angry, Tom couldn't help but become timid again.

After a long while, when Li Weide had finished his meal, Tom spoke again, "Hydra... right now, there are only you and me. When will we recruit new members? What are the criteria for recruiting new members?"

"In my blueprint, Hydra is of great importance, and every member must be carefully selected... They must share the same beliefs as us." Li Weide said.

"Then how are you going to identify them? You have to know... there are already many people with ulterior motives who have infiltrated the society, and you must select the initial members of Hydra from within the society..."

"It's not difficult to identify, but people always change... How to make members always maintain their beliefs is the biggest challenge. This is why I asked you not to recruit people for the time being." Li Weide explained.

Any organization will have traitors, this is not surprising, but the members at the beginning of the organization are the most important. No one else's betrayal will cause as great a blow to the organization as their betrayal...

So Li Weide needs to seek some necessary measures.

"How about an Unbreakable Vow?" Tom asked hesitantly.

"This idea is good, but it needs to be improved... I don't want to be a wizard with flowery arms..." Li Weide sighed.

After completing the unbreakable oath, there will be an extra mark on the hand... If each person joins, there will be an extra mark...

Li Weide couldn't even imagine how ugly his bumpy arms would look in a few years.

Besides, no one knows how many times an unbreakable vow can be made...if the limit is exceeded, there will be adverse consequences.

"Then you can improve it. This is your area of ​​expertise." Tom shrugged.

Li Weide frowned. "I'm not some Lich King, why are you pushing all the research onto me? Tom... when will you learn to share my worries?"

"I have to attend classes and help you manage the club. I'm exhausted every day. How can I have the energy to research and improve new magic?" Tom shook his head.

It's not that Tom's wisdom is not enough to do these research works, but no matter who it is, with a person like Li Weide by their side, they will give up these meaningless research works...

A hands-off boss like Li Weide only needs to worry about research work, but Tom, as a thug and a younger brother, has a lot to consider!

"I really need to find a smart experimental assistant..." Li Weide said seriously.

No matter how powerful he is, he is just one person, and most of the time he is unable to handle everything.

"Then I'll lend you my ancestor?" Tom said with a blink.

"Ha! Tom, you are such a filial son!" Li Weide said in Chinese.

"What did you say?" Tom didn't understand, but he felt that Li Weide was scolding him with words he didn't understand...

"I'm praising your filial piety, Tom!"

……

Levid asked Toby to send some money to Professor Slughorn.

Negotiating with the Ethiopian Ministry of Magic and building the venue both require money.

However, in addition to the necessary expenses, all of this also takes time, so Li Weide is not in a hurry to cultivate the basilisk now.

After all, it's not illegal to breed basilisks in Ethiopia, but it is illegal to do so in the UK.

There was really no need for Li Weide to take risks, and many of his preparations had not been completed yet.

Because Tom came, Li Weide put away the vanishing cabinet and did not go to the laboratory for the next few days.

And just like that, September 1st arrived quietly.

In the morning, when Li Weide dressed and came to the restaurant, his luggage had already been packed by Toby.

In fact, all the new textbooks and materials needed for the new semester were bought by Toby... Toby had already arranged everything before he even left the house.

For the first time, Tom envied Levid for having a house-elf.

Although this creature was a bit neurotic and gave Tom a bad first impression, it was indeed a rare servant for the wizard...

During breakfast, Tom suddenly asked, "Does your so-called revolution include the liberation of house-elves? Wizards are enslaving them..."

Before Li Weide could react, Toby had already taken away Tom's breakfast with an angry look on his face.

"Look, there's nothing to eat, right?" Li Weide said with a smile.

"Humph, this creature is really neurotic!" Tom was a little angry. He had good intentions...

"Although the elves' situation is actually very pitiful, as you have seen, it has become an established fact that they enjoy it... Therefore, my revolution will only focus on wizards for the time being... If a race themselves is unwilling to awaken, why should I bother worrying about them? I am not a house-elf... All I can do is try to be nicer to them." Levid spread his hands.

……

Platform 9 and 3/4 was as crowded as ever.

Unlike before, as soon as Li Weide stepped onto the platform, he was surrounded by a group of pure-blood wizards who saw him...

Every pure-blood tried their best to show their noble manners and elegant conversation in front of Li Weide.

They all hope to win Levitra's favor, so that if there are any good things in the future, Levitra may be the first to consider cooperating with them instead of Malfoy, who is a fence-sitter!

"Ahem! Please move aside! Master Wade is in a hurry to go to school now, how can he have time to talk to you? You should come to me if you want to discuss anything." Old Malfoy, leaning on an exquisite civilized stick, forcefully pushed aside the pure-blood wizards who were crowded around him.

Everyone glared at old Malfoy, but considering that old Malfoy was now Levitra's partner, no one cursed him.

Old Malfoy was very excited by the fact that everyone was angry but dared not speak out.

The Malfoy family has always been looked down upon by other pure-blood families because of their way of doing things. When has they ever been as proud as they are today?

Old Malfoy smiled and shook hands with Levid, then winked at Abu beside him.

Abu hurried over and took the suitcase from Li Weide attentively.

Seeing this, Li Wei De suddenly smiled and said, "Mr. Malfoy... I just happened to have recently developed a very fast broom... Abu has seen it, I wonder if we can cooperate..."

When old Malfoy heard this, his pale face suddenly turned red with excitement!

Here it comes! The profits are coming! I didn’t expect it to come so quickly!

When Tom heard Li Weide's exaggerated tone, he knew what this guy was going to do...

He remembered what Li Weide had said before... If you want someone to work for you wholeheartedly, you have to show some benefits...

And... Levander could obviously write to Malfoy to discuss this matter, but he chose to bring it up in the presence of other pure-blood families!

The purpose is actually very obvious! As long as the Malfoy family makes a lot of money with this new flying broom...

There is no need to think too much, the other pure-blood families who are still on the sidelines will definitely make up their minds to invest, and the pure-bloods who have already invested will also increase their efforts!

Let me tell you...why would the Dark Lord need to make his own money?

Chapter 339 Tom: Ha! Women only affect my casting speed!

"No problem! You can rest assured and leave everything to me!" Old Malfoy's face turned red with excitement.

He doesn't look like someone who has just recovered from a serious illness.

Following Malfoy's response, countless jealous eyes around him immediately fell on him.

In the past, old Malfoy would have felt very confused when faced with such a look.

But now... after a huge gamble, the Malfoy family has finally managed to get on board! If not now, when will they show off?

Just ask who dares to be arrogant in front of old Malfoy now!

Old Malfoy, leaning on his cane, looked around proudly, remaining calm amidst the piercing gazes in the room!

It feels so good to hug someone’s thigh!

The other pure-blood families felt as uncomfortable as if they had eaten a fly when they saw this scene...

However, there is nothing we can do about it.

Previously, they wanted to join Grindelwald, but the benefits they got from Grindelwald were far less than they expected.

And now, a person who can obviously drop gold coins appears in front of him!

How could they allow the Malfoy family to reap all the benefits?

No matter what, they want a piece of the pie!

You can eat it all by yourself and your whole family, and you don’t have to worry about choking to death!

Old Malfoy naturally understood this principle, so he would still be arrogant when he needed to, but he was still very clear about what to do.

Moreover, Li Weide chose to expose the existence of the new flying broom in public instead of writing to himself privately, and the meaning was very clear.

He hopes that other pure-blood families can also participate in the cooperation!

With only the support of the Malfoy family, the benefits Levid can get are ultimately limited!

In this regard, old Malfoy understood Levid's thoughts very well.

Therefore, all he can do is to get the biggest piece of the pie in this great opportunity!

Of course, all of this ultimately comes from Lewd, so even if he gets less benefit, old Malfoy must firmly hold on to the close relationship between him and Master Wade!

Even if Master Wade has to cooperate with other pure-blood families in the future, the Malfoy family will always be Master Wade's most loyal supporters!

In this way, the Malfoy family will be able to obtain benefits continuously in the future!

Levander nodded slightly to old Malfoy, then walked towards the train.

Old Malfoy immediately took the stage himself and pushed aside the few purebloods who were blocking his way...

"Oh... damn, wasn't this old guy almost dying before... How come he still has so much strength!" muttered the pure-blood wizard who was pushed away.

"Ha! Of course this is because Master Wade's potion is effective!" said old Malfoy proudly.

This was certainly something he should be proud of. In order to save him, the honorable Master Wade had specially negotiated with the family he had fallen out with, and then gave him an unprecedented potion formula to treat him!
