The Dark Lord's Guide to Employment at Hogwarts

"Uh... then... let's give it a try? I've got nothing to do anyway..."

What else could Nagini say? She was so excited...

"Great! The next stop is the Department of Mysteries!" Miravia said with satisfaction.

……

After the house-elves joined, Levid became more and more free.

Toby is indeed very talented in management. Under his management, the new elves have completed Levid's orders very well.

The rune carving work inside the moving castle is also slowly taking shape thanks to the efforts of the elves...

So now Li Weide has a lot of time to devote to community work.

Gradually, Li Weide's reputation among students grew stronger and stronger.

In particular, after each month's actual combat assessment, Li Weide will take the initiative to review the battles encountered in the assessment level with everyone.

Thanks to Li Weide's help, many people who often failed in the actual combat test have achieved good results in the test.

Time passed and soon it was Christmas holiday.

During this vacation, Andre finally passed the ideological assessment set by Levid, joined Hydra, and became the third member of Hydra.

Of course, this was the result of Li Weide's change of mind. Otherwise, he would at least have to wait until Andre's cognition and beliefs changed completely before recruiting him.

But it doesn’t matter now. Although Adre’s cognition has not changed completely, he can at least keep up with Li Weide’s thoughts.

Moreover, as long as Li Weide does not fall, he will be completely loyal, because he is only loyal to Li Weide.

At present, it seems that it is not that easy to bring Li Weide down...

So Li Weide doesn't need to be so cautious at all.

Moreover, Li Weide himself is also slowly trying...

As Dumbledore had said the other day, he needed to try to trust some of his friends...

And Andre, who is currently loyal to him, is the best desensitization target for Li Weide...

To trust others, he has to adapt slowly.

At the same time, Grindelwald's investigation has made new progress.

Based on some unsolved cases that had occurred in the past, he slowly followed the clues and found some clues that belonged to the Purgers.

If nothing unexpected happens, Grindelwald will be able to catch this group of people soon.

After the holiday, life continued to go on peacefully.

Many of Li Weide's research gradually took shape with the help of the goblins.

And the magic runes on the core area of ​​the moving castle he had been dreaming of were gradually being completed.

Moreover, the basilisk breeding farm was finally completed. Levid asked Dumbledore for leave and then went to Africa with Professor Slughorn.

By the way, he also brought over the twenty or so house-elves.

Because there are no better employees than them!

The core area of ​​the moving castle has been basically completed, so it is just right to send these elves to Africa to help raise basilisks.

After all, Li Weide couldn't send Tom to Africa to work for him right now.

At least... we have to wait until he graduates...

Chapter 384 Not only did he help me for free, he also had to thank me

Negotiations with the Ethiopian Ministry of Magic were very successful.

Li Weide and his team only need to pay a fee of 5,000 gold galleons to the Ethiopian Ministry of Magic every year to get a large piece of land as their own territory.

After the magic contract was signed, the location of this land completely disappeared from the map...

Under a specific contract, it is difficult for both wizards and Muggles to find this place unless the owner of the land allows them to go. The concealment can be said to be very high.

Of course, in order to sign such a contract, the Ministry of Magic and the top leaders of the Muggle government had communicated with each other. After all, the top leaders of the wizarding world and the Muggle government have always been in contact.

However, Li Weide does not need to worry about these things, he is only responsible for paying the money.

……

It's actually not difficult to travel from the UK to Ethiopia in Africa, but it requires taking illegal routes...

But if you go through the formal channels, it will be very slow.

However, this time, if Levid and Professor Slughorn wanted to go to Ethiopia, they had to go through formal channels.

Because the contract they signed was legal and formal, the name of the person who signed the contract had to appear in the formal entry and exit records...

Li Weide couldn't remember how many fireplaces and door keys he had to pass through before reaching his destination.

Even after signing the contract, Li Weide still felt a little dizzy.

……

Temporary resting place.

After seeing off the Ethiopian Minister of Magic, Professor Slughorn gave Levid a bottle of invigorating potion.

"Thank you...teacher, now I understand how hard you work..." Li Weide said with emotion.

Professor Slughorn had been in long talks with the Ethiopian Ministry of Magic, and he must have made many such trips.

But he never complained about the hard work or gave up directly.

"No! I don't find it hard at all! Uh... maybe a little? But it's all worth it!" Professor Slughorn said excitedly. "They said we can do any production research on this land! Their conditions are very relaxed! That means I can also conduct many potion experiments here that I could only think about but couldn't do before!"

At first, Professor Slughorn really just wanted to do his students a favor.

However, after talking to the people at the Ethiopian Ministry of Magic, I discovered how poor the Ethiopian Ministry of Magic is...

Professor Slughorn got much more than he expected during the negotiations!

In the end, he was no longer doing it entirely for Li Weide's request, because he himself could also gain a lot of benefits from it.

"That's great! I was feeling a little guilty about it..." Li Weide was not shy.

"That's right! So, you don't need to feel sorry at all!" Professor Slughorn smiled and patted Levid's shoulder.

"When are we going to visit that land? I brought a lot of house-elves with me. We can find a place to stay there first." Li Weide said impatiently.

"Haha, I think so too! Now, that place is our territory. It's more comfortable to be in our own territory!"

Professor Slughorn seemed even more anxious than Levitra. After hurriedly packing up his things, he and Levitra left the residence arranged for them by the Ministry of Magic.

……

What Ethiopia granted them was a large plain.

There is a small river winding through the plain. Looking along the river to its source, you can see the snow-capped mountains in the distance...

“This place is nice.”

Li Weide exclaimed as he got off the flying broom.

He was obviously pleased with the place.

"Of course, this is the place I chose personally. Although the river is small, it is located in the upper reaches and the water is clean. Whether it is for potion research or magical animal breeding, it will be of great benefit." Professor Slughorn said with satisfaction.

"Okay, professor, just choose a place and we will build your potion laboratory right away." Li Weide said with a smile.

"Ah? I wasn't prepared." Professor Slughorn said in surprise.

He was indeed not prepared. This time he came here just to sign a contract and then take Li Weide to see this place.

"Don't worry, I'm ready..." Li Weide snapped his fingers.

Then, more than twenty house-elves appeared around him.

Li Weide had to enter the country legally and in compliance with regulations, but these elves did not have to do that at all.

So, when Levid just arrived in Ethiopia and was about to sign a contract with the Ethiopian Ministry of Magic, these elves had already come to Africa through other channels.

Now, summoned by their master, Li Weide, they all appeared here by apparition.

Behind each elf, there is a backpack with a traceless stretching spell...

"Ha! I finally understand why you said you wanted to find a place to stay here first. I thought you were a little impatient, but I didn't expect you to have made preparations in advance!" Professor Slughorn laughed.

"Time is life, teacher. So, there is no need for us to delay, and... this kind of journey is a bit troublesome, and I don't want to experience it again next time." Li Weide said, waving to a little elf next to him.

The elf quickly ran over, took off the backpack behind him and opened it.

"Snapped!"

The elf snapped his fingers, and two huge cabinets flew out of the backpack and landed gently on the ground.

"This is..." Professor Slughorn looked at the two cabinets in surprise. He felt that they looked very familiar, as if he had seen this kind of thing before.

"This is a giant vanishing cabinet that we have specially modified, professor... The teleportation distance is much farther than that of an ordinary vanishing cabinet. We can go directly back to England from the vanishing cabinet." Li Wei De turned his head and looked at the elf again.

The house-elf nodded, then opened the door of a nearby vanishing cabinet and went inside.

After a while, he came out of the cabinet again with a cup in his hand, which was the cup that Li Weide had placed in England in advance.

At the same time, another elf came out of the other vanishing cabinet. It was Levitra's chief butler, the house elf Toby...

"Master Wade! The Vanishing Cabinet has been set up." Toby said in a shrill voice.

"That's very good," said Professor Slughorn cheerfully. "In fact, I didn't really like the way I was traveling before!"

Li Weide smiled and said, "Professor, please choose a place and set up your laboratory first. Everyone is ready."

"I see..." Professor Slughorn saw that all the elves were looking at him, so he couldn't refuse anymore.

"It's right over there, at the very top of the stream... I need clean water for my potion research," said Professor Slughorn.

Li Weide clapped his hands. "Did you hear that? Let's get started! Guys! Get the stuff out!"

The elves Apparated simultaneously, appearing where Professor Slughorn pointed, and then took out materials from their backpacks...

What kind of building materials, experimental equipment, potion materials...

Professor Slughorn was stunned. "Are you moving an entire potions laboratory here?"

"Yes, because I think you definitely need it." Li Weide said.

"You knew I'd set up a laboratory here?" Professor Slughorn asked in surprise.

"It's not a guess. I just feel that since the teacher has put so much effort into this place, he should have a share of it. So I want to set up a laboratory for him. That way, when I succeed in breeding creatures like the basilisk, he can come here first to start his research."

"Hahaha! You've thought of this so carefully!" Professor Slughorn laughed.

Originally, he was still considering how to talk to Li Weide, but he didn't expect that Li Weide not only had thought of it a long time ago, but was also fully prepared!

Having such a caring student really makes me feel relieved!

Li Weide bowed slightly. "Teacher, this is what I should do... Also, my preparations may not fully meet your requirements, so... if you need anything else, you can ask the house-elves to purchase it. Don't worry about the Galleons, I have already raised enough sponsorship."

Slughorn patted Levid's shoulder vigorously. He was so excited that he couldn't speak.

Of course he knew where Li Weide got all that money!

If those pure-blood families did not think highly of Levid, how could they sponsor so many gold Galleons?

Professor Slughorn was extremely proud to have such an outstanding student!

……

A few minutes later, Professor Slughorn appeared next to the house-elves, enthusiastically instructing them on how to do their work.

Li Weide just stood not far away and smiled modestly, without getting involved.

He was very satisfied with this scene. In this way, he had another potion master to help him in the study of potions.

This isn't something you can just hire with Galleons! It's all about favors...

In this way, Professor Slughorn not only worked for Levander for free, but also had to be grateful to Levander...

From now on, no matter what kind of magical animals this place cultivates or what kind of potion materials it produces, Professor Slughorn can research them and produce some new potion formulas...

After all, as the industry expands, it is impossible for Li Weide to personally participate in the research of every project.
