The Dark Lord's Guide to Employment at Hogwarts

The house-elves prepared a lot of materials, and after Li Weide inspected the site, he temporarily divided the area.

Then, these elves began to work...

With the presence of magic, building a house is very quick and easy.

By evening, a number of decent-looking buildings had appeared on the originally empty plain.

Li Weide looked at the vast plain and suddenly felt that these twenty or so house-elves were still too few.

He needs to find a way to get more people over here...

But there are too few ownerless house-elves, so some wizards need to be added.

However, the wizards he added needed to be completely trustworthy...

Those enslaved dark wizards were actually quite suitable, but... because of Professor Slughorn's presence, these people were not very convenient.

Enslaved wizards didn't talk much, so if Professor Slughorn came to talk to them, he would easily be able to tell that something was wrong.

Levid didn't want these enslaved wizards to destroy his good impression in Professor Slughorn's mind.

For a moment, Li Weide was actually a little troubled...

However, the only production line to be launched here right now is the basilisk one, so the elves can handle it completely.

There's no need to worry about manpower...

Chapter 385 I declare that no rooster was harmed!

With the help of the house-elves, the infrastructure work was completed quickly.

At the same time, in order to make it more convenient to travel back and forth, Li Weide asked the goblin craftsmen to set up a few more fireplaces.

This is to prevent the Vanishing Cabinet from malfunctioning and making it impossible to teleport quickly.

Of course, the wiring in this fireplace is also illegal...

With the initial completion of the infrastructure, Li Weide also improved his basilisk breeding plan.

There are two options to experiment with.

The first option is to let the rooster lay eggs normally and then hatch them with toads.

The second option is to use the DNA of the basilisk in the secret room to directly clone the thousand-year-old basilisk. Perhaps the "medicinal properties" of the basilisk can also be cloned...

The first option may take a long time, and the materials used in the newly cultivated basilisk may not be as powerful as the thousand-year-old basilisk in the secret room.

The second option takes less time, but is relatively riskier.

After all, it was an adult basilisk that had lived for thousands of years.

If there is any mistake, it may cause a big mess...

Moreover, Levid is not sure whether the materials on the cloned basilisk have the same effects as the original one.

Besides, gene editing is still too difficult to achieve in this era...

In the end, Li Weide decided to follow the rules for the time being and try to cultivate the little snake monster first.

After all, Li Weide didn't have much experience in breeding basilisks.

Starting to clone the giant snake monster directly is a bit hasty. If you take too big a step, you might end up hurting your balls...

However, although Levitra is a novice when it comes to raising basilisks, there happens to be a skilled worker in the Chamber of Secrets at Hogwarts... With his help, combined with Levitra's new methods, this matter will not be difficult.

"No, no, no... I'm not going!"

In the Chamber of Secrets, Slytherin directly rejected Levid's proposal.

Now he is in Hogwarts and can chat with his old friend Hufflepuff every day. His life is quite comfortable.

Why should he go to Africa to raise snake monsters just because of Li Weide's words?!

"You don't need to be there all the time... I'll leave a disappearing cabinet for you. You just need to go there every day to give guidance to those house-elves." Li Weide tried to pua.

"Don't go!"

"This is not a long-term job. You just need to help teach them and then you can let go," said Li Weide.

"No! No! What kind of demands are you making, you bastard? You actually want me to teach house-elves?" Slytherin also has his own pride.

It's already a huge improvement that he doesn't hate Muggles now, but he's still asked to teach house-elves technology?

In the wizarding world, especially for traditional pure-blood wizards, discrimination against Muggles and elves is a traditional skill.

Slytherin is the most traditional of the old traditions... So, when Levid asked him to teach elves to breed basilisks, he was really hitting the nail on the head.

If it weren't for Levitra's close friendship with him, Slytherin would have kicked him out long ago.

"Okay... I won't force you then," Li Weide said helplessly. "So I have no choice but to let Tom go. Although it's a bit bad to let him drop out of school at his age to work in Africa, who made me an asshole?"

"Wait a minute!" Slytherin glared at him with a dark face, "Are you threatening me, you bastard?"

Li Weide smiled and said, "You heard me wrong. I was just joking. Tom and I are brothers. How could I let him drop out of school to work in Africa? In fact, this is a deal. I won't let you work for nothing."

"I don't want anything right now... Don't mention helping me with the skeleton! That was a condition you promised me a long time ago!" Slytherin said warily.

"You really don't want anything right now, but I can give the benefits I gave you to Tom." Li Weide smiled and said, "You should know that I have some background that even you don't have..."

Slytherin hesitated for a moment before saying, "Okay! You teach Tom your nightmare magic!"

"No, you have to change another one." Li Weide refused decisively. This was the magic taught to him by Miravia. Without her consent, he would never teach it to others.

"Then give some of the magic you've purified to Tom." Slytherin smiled. "I know you can purify the 'residues' from Miravia. If you give Tom a portion, how about I do the work for you?"

"Oh? Waiting for me here?" Li Weide smiled.

The residue can rapidly increase a person's strength, and the purified residue has no side effects at all!

Although the current purification method will still cause relatively large losses, he has absorbed a lot from Miravia's body. Even if most of it is consumed, there is still a lot of purified magic power!

What's more, there's a war going on outside right now... What's most lacking is negative emotions...

As long as the purification technology can continue to be improved, Li Weide's pure magic power can almost be said to be inexhaustible.

Therefore, he originally wanted to give some of the purified magic power to Tom and others, so that these people he could trust would become stronger and could help him better.

Anyway, if they rebel, Li Weide can always draw out the magic power again...

"Okay, I agree. I will hand the things over to Tom in front of you." Li Weide said with a smile.

Levitra made a good deal by exchanging something he had prepared for Tom for Slytherin's help.

"Okay, but you have to let the rooster lay eggs. I don't understand this... I don't want to wait for more than ten years to get a rooster egg like before."

"No problem...you can come in and take a look."

Li Weide opened his suitcase...

He came with his own suitcase so that Slytherin would not have time to regret after the deal was reached.

"Toby, give me an egg." As soon as he climbed into the suitcase along the ladder, Li Weide found Toby and said.

In the suitcase, Levid divided a large area specifically for raising chickens, which were taken care of by Toby personally. He strictly followed Levid's plan and fed them with feed containing corresponding magic potions.

At this moment, Slytherin also floated in, looking at the scenery in the suitcase with interest.

"I didn't expect that you could create such a big space out of such a small suitcase..." Slytherin exclaimed in admiration.

"This is not my original idea. One of my Hufflepuff seniors taught me." Li Weide replied.

"Oh...I see...It seems that Hufflepuff does have some good talents..." Slytherin nodded involuntarily.

He recalled the Hufflepuff teaching philosophy...

Helga teaches everyone, so it's normal for some geniuses to appear occasionally...

Thinking of this, Slytherin felt a little more at ease.

At this time, Toby came running over with a bamboo basket.

The bamboo basket was covered with a piece of cloth, and judging by the marks on the cloth, the basket was indeed full of eggs...

Li Weide lifted the cloth, revealing the eggs inside.

These eggs were different in color from ordinary eggs. Each one was light green, and the surface of the eggshells had faint snake-scale-like markings...

Slytherin looked at the eggs and was stunned...

Levid picked up one and took a look, making sure that Toby didn't take out the preserved egg he had made, before handing the egg to Slytherin.

"Look, this is the rooster egg I made..."

Slytherin took the egg in a daze, examined it carefully, and then looked at Levid with a complicated expression.

"These are indeed rooster eggs, and the quality of each one is much better than the ones I had back then! I helped Helga raise chickens for free, and after more than ten years, I only found one rooster egg. How did you get so many?" Slytherin felt a pang of jealousy...

"It's very simple. All we need is a sex-changing potion..." Li Weide said, "This sex-changing potion can temporarily change the physiological structure of the rooster...but the rooster's DNA...I mean, its bloodline, is still male...It's a bit like transfiguration. I can take out the organs they don't have, and then mix them with other roosters...ahem...and finally, combine them with my special feed..."

"Hiss... is this possible?!" Slytherin said in shock.

"Of course you can! Roosters can't lay eggs. Occasionally, an outlier appears only because it has undergone some genetic mutation. What I'm doing is just turning this extremely low probability mutation into a certainty using the magic potion..."

"Oh! Why didn't I think of this!" Slytherin paced back and forth in frustration. "If I had thought of this earlier, I wouldn't have worked for Helga for so many years in vain! Researching a mere sex-changing potion is much easier than raising chickens for more than ten years!"

"That's true." Li Weide nodded in agreement.

"Are you mad at me!?" Slytherin said angrily.

"No, you misunderstood. I just want to say that raising chickens is not easy... and because their transformation is temporary, I can declare that no roosters have been harmed... well... maybe there are some psychological problems? After all, they were harmed by other roosters..."

"Well... well... it seems we are indeed getting old..." Slytherin sighed. "These young wizards are really getting stronger with each generation..."

"It's not that the young wizard has become stronger, it's simply that Master Wade is very strong!" Toby seriously corrected Slytherin's words.

……

Slytherin left, taking the basket of rooster eggs with him, and then went to Africa via the giant disappearing cabinet in his suitcase.

Of course, in order to avoid endless explanations, Slytherin simply did not use the identities of the Big Four.

He was wearing a turban, with only his eyes showing. Professor Slughorn couldn't tell that he was a ghost and just thought he was someone sent by Levid.

Otherwise, if Professor Slughorn knew this was a Slytherin, the Slytherin would probably not have to work at all.

Professor Slughorn is also very interested in ancient potions!

Li Weide closed the door of the disappearing cabinet, then clapped his hands and said with satisfaction: "Great, I found another good worker!"

Chapter 386: Have you become so powerful?

After getting help from Slytherin, Levid did not break his promise.

The next night, he called Tom into the secret room alone.

In the Chamber of Secrets, Slytherin temporarily returned from Africa using the Vanishing Cabinet and stood in the center of the Chamber, looking at Levid.

Because he said that he wanted to see with his own eyes that Levid gave some of the pure magic power to Tom.

"What did you call me here for?" Tom asked nervously.

There was not much light in the secret room, and it was very dim. Even Tom felt that the scene was too gloomy.

If his ancestor hadn't been standing by and watching, he would have thought that Li Weide was finally going to take action and use him in some black magic sacrificial ritual...

"I asked you to come here because I want to give you something. Moreover, it is witnessed by your ancestors in person." Li Weide said solemnly.

Tom panicked. "No... If you have something to say, just say it nicely. Don't be so scary..."

Li Weide did not answer, but silently took out a capsule the size of a fist and handed it over.

"What is this?" Tom took it in confusion.

"Swallow it." Li Weide said.

Tom frowned as he looked at the suspicious capsule. "How about... you tell me first, what is this?"

"This is a good thing that will benefit you... Don't waste time, do you think your ancestors can harm you?" Li Weide said impatiently.

"But... this... is so big, I can't swallow it..." Tom said in embarrassment.

"There's nothing I can do about it. This is what your ancestors asked for. Otherwise, I wouldn't be willing to give you such a big one!" Li Weide said with a sad face.

The Slytherin next to him smiled with satisfaction when he heard this.
