The Dark Lord's Guide to Employment at Hogwarts

Dumbledore's words were interrupted, so he just opened his mouth and no more words came out.

He had no choice but to nod.

"So... where do you plan to start your tour?" the old man said weakly.

"Go to the place you think is the worst. Let these boys see the most miserable place in Azkaban... That way it will be educational." Grindelwald said.

"I understand." The old man nodded. "To serve as a warning, right? That's right... the crime rate among young wizards has increased recently... Hogwarts really needs to take some action. Okay, I'll show them around and explain to them what crimes the prisoners have committed..."

"You guys go ahead. The professors and I still have some things to do." Li Weide said to Tom and the others.

Tom nodded, and walked with Anne and Andre towards the old beater who was waiting at the door...

After they left, Grindelwald said, "If we want to see the prisoner, we have to go this way."

Grindelwald walked towards the door on the left with ease.

"It seems that you are very familiar with this place..." Dumbledore said softly.

"Yes... I've been here many times..." Grindelwald paused, "I collected their bodies myself..."

Looking at Grindelwald's back, Dumbledore and Levid couldn't help but look at each other.

The "they" Grindelwald mentioned should be referring to the entire Wiccan team that was captured in Hogwarts before.

These people were sentenced to death without any trial...

It was also the "arm" that Grindelwald had severed when he cut off his wrist...

……

The corridors in Azkaban are tall and long, with no end in sight.

On both sides of the corridor, there is an iron door every few meters.

Some iron gates were silent, while others continuously emitted all sorts of strange noises. In the distance, there were constant howling sounds, which made people shudder...

At this time, the Dementors should have just finished their "breakfast".

So, Li Weide only saw the monsters circling on the ceiling in the distance, but did not see any wandering around nearby.

At this moment, the Dementors in the distance suddenly became excited, as if they wanted to rush over to greet the new "food"!

Dementors can't tell the difference between a visitor and a new prisoner!

The arrival of the living made every monster rejoice...

However, when Levid and others approached, these Dementors flew away as if they had seen the most terrifying thing!

Li Weide blinked his eyes, because he recognized "billions" of familiar faces among them with the help of the fluctuations of magic power.

After he let the captured Dementor go, every once in a while, it would follow instructions and help Levitra bring a few Dementors over.

As time went by...there were not many Dementors in the entire Azkaban that had not been sucked away by Levid!

So, when they saw the big devil Levid appear from afar, all the Dementors were scared away...

Dumbledore looked confused, but Grindelwald remembered that he had brought a Dementor to Levid before.

He looked at Li Weide curiously. Obviously, Li Weide must have done something to those monsters, which was why they were so frightened.

Soon, Grindelwald stopped in front of a thick iron door.

This is the area where serious criminals are held. The prisoners here are sentenced to life imprisonment and will never be able to get out in their lifetime.

Li Weide suddenly had a strange idea. If he failed and was caught in the future, he would probably be locked up here, right?

Grindelwald took out the key and opened the cell door directly...

It was only because Grindelwald was the one who came. Otherwise, not only would ordinary people coming to visit the prison not be able to open this door, but they would also have to have several Aurors following them to watch over them...

The cell was small and entirely made of indestructible stone bricks.

There was only a stone bed in the cell and a smelly toilet...there was not even a window.

A disheveled man was sitting blankly by the bed. He didn't even look up when someone came in.

Grindelwald raised his hand, and the man's head was pulled up by Grindelwald's magic, revealing a pale face.

Li Weide recognized that face...it was one of the twenty or so people he had fought with!

But there is an obvious problem...

"You said that he was an unimportant marginal figure? And his memory has not been modified?" Li Weide asked.

"Yes. He doesn't know a lot of things... From his memories, it can be seen that he is just a small fry who is not valued." Grindelwald said coldly.

"That's unreasonable," Li Weide said.

"Unreasonable?" Grindelwald raised an eyebrow. "What's unreasonable?"

Li Weide found the problem before he even checked it?

"There were more than twenty people who attacked the Hogwarts Express and they were very difficult to deal with... and this person happened to be the leader among them... and he was also the most powerful one present... Let me ask you, how could such a person be a marginal character who knew nothing? If so, then the Purgers organization would be frighteningly large. However, you should know that is impossible!" Li Weide said coldly.

Grindelwald and Dumbledore also understood what Levid meant. If the Purgers really had such great strength, given their hatred for the wizarding world, the wizarding world would have been destroyed by them long ago. How could they not take action until now?

Li Weide drew out his wand, pointed it at the man's head, and began to examine him.

"Strange... Really strange..."

"What did you find? Has the memory been altered?" asked Dumbledore.

"No... His memory has indeed not been modified. At least I can't see it..." Li Weide put away his wand and continued, "And the strangest thing... is his strength. His current magic power is completely different from when he fought me... His current magic power is even weaker than that of a third-year student... Moreover, there are serious problems with his body functions... He won't have many days left to live."

Chapter 380: Run! That devil Li Weide is here again!

"Could it be that after being imprisoned in Azkaban, he suffered a mental breakdown, resulting in a decrease in the strength of his magic? As for his physical problems... maybe his health was not very good to begin with, and after being tossed around in such a place for so long, his body completely collapsed..." Grindelwald said hesitantly.

Not to mention, it is indeed possible that due to the collapse of caution, the strength of magic power has dropped significantly.

In this world, the wizard's ability can be fully called a mind wizard.

Emotions, thoughts, cognition, and other subjective things can become the key to increasing or weakening one's own magic power...

Tom's mother died helplessly at the door of the orphanage, largely because her mind was on the verge of collapse, and at that time, she was no longer willing to use the magic that caused her pain...

When the wizard himself can no longer remember that he can use magic, magic will no longer respond to the wizard.

Li Wei De said: "It is indeed possible that a mental breakdown caused a sudden drop in magic power, but the collapse of physical functions... unless it is poisoned or injured, otherwise, a person's physical functions cannot collapse from health to this extent in a short period of time. Besides... his functional collapse and organ failure have been going on for a long time..."

"So... this is not the person you saw before!?" Grindelwald understood.

"Logically speaking, he is not, but... he is. That's why I said it's strange..." Li Weide frowned.

"Are you sure you're not seeing things, Vader?" Grindelwald asked.

"No, although I don't know why such a ridiculous situation occurred, this is indeed what I saw." Li Weide shrugged.

This conclusion gave all three of them a strange sense of absurdity.

It's like someone says one plus one equals three, and you think they're wrong, but when you open the reference answer, you realize the answer is actually three.

Dumbledore frowned and said, "I believe in your judgment, Wade, but if there is no basis, many things will be difficult to handle..."

Li Weide's statement is based on his own judgment and there is no evidence to support it...

If this purger is not the real purger, but just a scapegoat thrown out by the people behind the scenes, then there is a high probability that the matter cannot be investigated further.

In the end, it is very likely that nothing will come of it...

"For some things, it's enough to arouse enough suspicion... Not everything requires evidence." Grindelwald said in a deep voice.

Li Weide looked at the pale-faced Purger in front of him and asked, "What's your name?"

The purger just stared blankly at the floor in front of him, as if he didn't hear what Li Weide said.

"I know you can hear it... I'm very curious, what on earth is it that is worth you sacrificing your life to preserve?" Li Weide continued.

The purgers remained expressionless...

Grindelwald frowned and said, "It's useless for you to say this. He has no memory of this, so he won't respond to your question."

Li Weide didn't respond, but continued to say to the Purger, "In fact, in this world, there are indeed many heroes who fight to the bitter end for their beliefs and ideals, risking their lives. Everything they do will be remembered by everyone, because the ultimate goal of their beliefs is to make the people and the world a better place... These people are heroes."

"But what about you? Do you think you're a hero? In truth, I don't see why your beliefs are worth clinging to. After all, others persevere as heroes, while you persevere as a dog for those villains who slaughter innocent people... Your persistence is worthless, as worthless as dirt... No one will remember your name, just as no one remembers a napkin they casually discarded... Don't disbelieve us, we will definitely uncover the shameful things hiding behind you and make your efforts meaningless. By the way, when the time comes, I will tell them that you betrayed them..."

"Ah!" The Purger pounced forward suddenly, but just as his body jumped up, he was restrained by an invisible magical force.

He could only stare at Li Weide with his eyes wide open...

Li Weide watched him go crazy quietly without even blinking.

He was actually just trying it out, but he didn't expect that this guy was not as patient as he imagined.

Apparently, this guy had been in Azkaban for such a long time, his mental breakdown might not have been entirely fake...

Grindelwald looked at the Purger with a sullen expression. Undoubtedly, from the Purger's expression, he could tell that this guy had actually deceived him! He was even hiding memories that he hadn't seen!

Thinking back to when he had vowed before that he had seen through all of the other person's memories... Grindelwald felt his face burning, as if he had been slapped in the face!

Legilimency can be defended against by Occlumency... Apparently, the overconfident Grindelwald did overlook this.

"It was my negligence." Grindelwald said in a deep voice.

"Actually, it's not your fault. I felt the same way just now. Because our main focus has been on checking whether his memory has been modified. As for whether they have hidden their memories, we subconsciously ignored it..." Li Weide explained.

Grindelwald picked up his wand, looked at the Scourer with wide eyes in front of him, and prepared to continue with a deeper level of Legilimency...

Dumbledore just stood aside and watched the scene in front of him without stopping it.

Although Dumbledore is kind, he will not be too sympathetic to criminals for no reason.

"Wait." Levid stopped Grindelwald.

"What's wrong?" Grindelwald looked at Levid in confusion, not understanding why he stopped him.

"Let me do it." Li Weide said.

Grindelwald must be extremely angry right now. If he were to use Legilimency on a man whose body was on the verge of collapse, it would be hard for him to withstand it...

If this guy died immediately, no one would know what memories he had hidden.

Li Wei De pulled out his wand and gently tapped the fierce-looking Purger. White mist slowly penetrated his facial features...

The next second, the Purger slowly closed his eyes and fell back onto the bed weakly.

Nightmare magic can make the cursed person dream subconsciously... In the dream, it is difficult for the cursed person to distinguish reality.

In this way, all the things that were deliberately concealed will subconsciously appear in the dream.

Of course, Levid could actually simply and crudely use puppet worms to enslave this guy, and he would still be able to say anything at that time.

However, since we have nightmare magic, there is no need to waste a puppet worm.

Besides... Levid would never use the puppet worm in front of Dumbledore!

Ten minutes later, Li Weide retracted the nightmare magic and shook his head helplessly.

"Haven't found out? It doesn't matter, let me do it. I know you think I'm rude, but... he won't live long anyway, so this can be considered as a way to give him a quick death!" Grindelwald picked up the wand again.

"No...I found out." Li Weide said.

"Oh? What memory did he hide?" Grindelwald asked expectantly.

"His memory has indeed not been modified, but a small part of it has been directly deleted. What he hid was the small part of his memory that was deleted, perhaps less than a minute. In other words, the part of the memory you explored before is still real." Li Weide said.

"So, he is still a fake, a scapegoat deliberately thrown in front of us? What do they mean? Does this make any sense?" Grindelwald was very angry because he found that he was being made a fool of.

"It means that you can stop here. The steps have been set up for you. You just need to follow this clue and eliminate the 'purgers' they have prepared, and the matter will be over." Li Weide said.

Grindelwald said coldly, "I won't let them succeed! Vader... whether they are real or fake Purgers, I will eliminate them all. And those who played tricks on me, I will also make them pay... I mean, I will make them face the punishment of the law!"

Grindelwald's meaning is very clear. You gave me the way out, and I took it down, but I still want to kill you. Because you tricked me into getting there!

Levid pondered, he always felt that Grindelwald was being led by the nose... but he couldn't put it into words, he just had this feeling.

Furthermore, the Purger's bodily functions were failing in a bizarre manner. It didn't seem like an acquired disease, but rather something he'd been born with... But if it was a congenital condition, he wouldn't be alive today! This wasn't science, nor was it magic!

……

In the guard office of Azkaban.

Tom, Annie and Andre were already waiting there.

Except for Andre who was fine, Tom and Annie were both pale...
