The Dark Lord's Guide to Employment at Hogwarts

By giving up some things appropriately, you can get more useful help, and this deal is very worthwhile.

There are many ways to use good things. Although always keeping them in your hands can make you stronger, Li Weide has long understood that it is absolutely not enough to be strong alone.

He had tried it when he first entered school, but he ended up having to handle everything himself, which kept him busy endlessly...

Later, inspired by Miravia, he began to delegate the tasks he had to people who could help him.

After taking over the Fairy Workshop, he understood this more deeply.

Therefore, Li Weide does not intend to be a lone commander. He wants to gather a group of capable partners around him.

Grindelwald did this, and even the future Voldemort did this.

To achieve this, he must ensure that the people around him can always keep up with his pace.

Only in this way can they better complete the tasks assigned to them, and only in this way can I give them more trust.

……

After improving the abilities of these partners, Levid gave the task of guiding them to join Hydra to Tom and Andre.

Then he got into his suitcase again. On the one hand, he was completing the finishing work of the moving castle, and on the other hand, he was continuing to improve the purification ability of the broken jade.

Although the amount of "residue" extracted from Miravia is large, Li Weide still hopes that there will not be too much loss during the purification process.

When the loss of the Broken Jade is minimized in the future, he will be able to purify a large amount of this pure magic power.

In this way, in addition to being able to greatly enhance himself with pure magic power, he can also dilute the pure magic power and make a second-level capsule with a lesser amplification effect.

This kind of capsule only needs to have a slight effect of increasing magic power, which is enough to attract many people who want to become stronger to gather around Li Weide.

After all, in addition to the core personnel, Li Weide also needs a large number of strong peripheral personnel to do the dirty work...

Although Levid considers himself a good man, he is destined to be the Dark Lord after all.

In this way, more than a month passed.

Li Weide's improvement of the Broken Jade finally reached a new bottleneck.

Now, the loss of purifying the "residue" has been reduced to 30%...

Although this loss is still huge, it is the best that Li Weide can do.

The most important thing is that the purification speed has increased by at least ten percent.

"It's barely enough...it's impossible to achieve zero loss." Li Weide put down the mithril pen in his hand with reluctance.

Moreover, he could vaguely sense that in addition to the technical constraints, the material strength of the broken jade had also reached its upper limit.

"I wonder if there is any material in this world that is more suitable than sapphire..." Levid muttered to himself, preparing to take off the Ravenclaw crown on his head.

The Ravenclaw crown is of great help to Levid, so he always wears the crown when doing his research.

Therefore, he has no plans to return the diadem to Hogwarts for the time being.

Although Dumbledore knew about this, he turned a blind eye to it...

Li Weide grabbed the crown and was about to take it off and put it away when suddenly, a sentence suddenly appeared in his mind, as if another consciousness was speaking to him...

"Yes... there are stones more suitable for this kind of power than sapphire..."

Li Weide's hand holding the crown paused slightly. He knew very well that he didn't have schizophrenia, so the person talking to him in his mind...

He slowly took off his crown and watched quietly.

The Ravenclaw crown was still dazzling, without any trace of time on it.

"Are you talking?" Li Weide said softly.

The crown was silent and unresponsive.

Li Weide hesitated for a moment, but finally put the crown on his head again.

"What stone is more suitable than sapphire?" Li Weide asked softly.

Sure enough, the voice in my mind reappeared.

"Legend has it that the pinnacle of alchemy...the Philosopher's Stone..."

Li Weide's heart moved, it seemed that the voice's point of view did make sense.

No matter how pure a sapphire is, it is just an unprocessed natural product.

The Philosopher's Stone, however, is the pinnacle of alchemy, containing immensely powerful magical power...

But there is now a more important problem than the Philosopher's Stone.

"Who are you?" Levid asked. "Are you a Ravenclaw?"

"I'm not... Ravenclaw, Ravenclaw again..." The voice sounded intermittently again.

"What does this mean?" Li Weide asked.

Guanmian started talking again, but this time the voice suddenly became extremely vague, and Li Weide couldn't hear it clearly at all...

It's like... a tape recorder with low battery.

Li Weide stood up and without any delay, took the crown and walked quickly towards Ms. Paris's office!

In this world, there is no one who knows the four giants better than the four giants themselves! Why should he guess blindly?

"Toby!" Li Weide walked out of his wooden house and summoned his elf casually.

"Master Wade! Toby is here!" Toby Apparated in front of Li Weide and said respectfully.

"Go to Ethiopia, ask the old man to come back, and ask him to come see me in Ms. Paris's office!"

"As ordered!"

Chapter 388: Wizarding AI? Or Ravenclaw?

"There is indeed a consciousness in here, but... it's not what you think." Slytherin floated to the chair next to him and sat down, then picked up the incense burner and took a sip.

This is in Ms. Paris's office.

Slytherin and Ms. Paris had finished examining the tiara.

"Isn't it?" Li Weide was a little disappointed.

"Yeah...it's not," said Ms. Paris...a.k.a. Hufflepuff, somewhat disappointedly. "I thought...I'd meet a close friend again."

"Then what is the consciousness here?" Li Weide asked curiously.

Slytherin smiled and said, "Have you seen the Sorting Hat? Godric created a consciousness for that hat, and then he and the other three of us injected the concept of admissions into that consciousness, and then we got the Sorting Hat we have today."

Thinking of the Sorting Hat, Li Weide suddenly understood.

In the wizarding world, many items are endowed with "intelligence" by wizards.

For example, the characters in the portraits that can speak, for example, the Sorting Hat, and for example, Jack the Lantern created by Levitra himself...

Of course, these "intelligent" things are also divided into high-level and low-level ones, which depends on how many "programs" the wizards who created them have set up for them and how much "emotional memory" they have infused into them.

The advanced one, of course, refers to something like the Sorting Hat. The four giants injected "emotional memory" into it at the same time, so it can even think for itself and form its own personality.

And the portraits of the principal in the principal's office... Each one actually contains a trace of the owner's memory from his or her lifetime, similar to a ghost, allowing them to speak and think as they did in life.

Many famous wizards would prepare such a portrait for themselves during their lifetime.

In this way, after they pass away, they can still leave their mark on this world in another form by virtue of their "thoughtful" selves.

Lower-level ones, such as most of the paintings in Hogwarts Castle that move but cannot speak, are considered low-level.

Because the creators only gave them a certain "program" of life trajectory, and in order to make them vivid, they also left them with a part of the "program" to react after being frightened, but did not pay much attention to emotions, so in this part of the oil painting, the characters in the painting only move like puppets.

Even the lantern monster Jack created by Levid... although it can talk, it is still considered low-level.

Because Li Weide only injected it with the program attributes of "guarding", "alert" and "warning".

To make it more vivid, Li Weide specially added a speaking function to the "warning" part of the program...

Since Li Weide originally created it largely for fun, it was inevitable that some spoof emotional memories were incorporated into the manufacturing process.

Therefore, after it is started, it will issue warnings according to the owner's likes and dislikes, and comment on every visiting guest.

Therefore, when its owner becomes Dumbledore, he will sneer at Grindelwald...

But it itself is unable to think like its creator.

……

Hufflepuff then made his own judgment about the consciousness in the Ravenclaw Diadem.

Ravenclaw injected a kind of "emotional memory" into his own crown, and then formed a consciousness similar to the Sorting Hat's consciousness...

According to Li Weide's understanding, this is an "AI" originally created by Ravenclaw, similar to the "AI" in the Sorting Hat.

Among the four giants, the most knowledgeable one will certainly create an advanced "AI".

"Then... why did she create a consciousness in her crown?" Li Weide continued to ask.

"That's easy to understand, Wade," Slytherin said with a smile. "At that time, the only one who could discuss knowledge with Rowena Law was herself. Neither I, Godric, nor Helga had such profound knowledge. So, she must have created another consciousness in the crown and copied her knowledge to it..."

Upon hearing this, Hufflepuff nodded in agreement, "This is indeed something she can do."

The people who understand the Big Four the most are the Big Four themselves...

"Hiss..." Li Weide took a breath of cold air.

In other words, Ravenclaw's knowledge is so profound that she can't find anyone to discuss with her, so she created an "AI" herself. This "AI" copied all her knowledge, and then Ravenclaw also gave her the ability to think.

In this way, when a Ravenclaw puts on the crown and thinks about a problem, it is like two Ravenclaws thinking together! Since the crown is not a person, its thinking will be more rational and can provide Ravenclaw with more new ideas...

It's no wonder that the voice in the crown said that she was a Ravenclaw, but not a Ravenclaw.

"But... why didn't I hear this sound when I wore it before?" Li Weide asked puzzledly.

"How long has it been since you last wore it?" asked Hufflepuff.

"It's been a while..." Li Weide recalled.

"Is this the first time you've worn the tiara since the day you freed Miravia?" Hufflepuff asked again.

"Yes..." Li Weide nodded.

Suddenly, Li Weide's eyes lit up, "You mean... the ancient magic that Miravia and I used that day reactivated this consciousness?"

"It's not necessarily ancient magic, because Rowena herself has no talent for ancient magic, so the crown she made probably has nothing to do with ancient magic. Wade... that day, when you released Miravia, the magic power that erupted was extraordinary. Perhaps, the consciousness dormant in the crown at that time was activated again because of the huge magical riot." Hufflepuff said.

Li Weide nodded after hearing this, then tentatively extended a finger and injected some of the pure magic power purified from the "residues" in his body into the crown...

At this moment, the crown once again flashed with dazzling silver light...

Li Weide looked at the crown and frowned slightly.

Seeing his expression, Hufflepuff seemed to understand something. She stepped forward, picked up her old friend's crown, and put it on her own head.

"Long time no see, Rowena." Hufflepuff smiled.

As Hufflepuff finished speaking, the crown suddenly began to flicker again...

Then Hufflepuff nodded, as if he had heard something.

"Did you hear that sound?" Li Weide asked.

"Hmm... just as we thought." Hufflepuff took off the tiara and put it back on the table. "Wade, you've found a treasure."

Slytherin also picked up the crown and put it on, "Hey, do you still recognize me?"

The crown flickered again.

"Oh, Wade, you really found a treasure." Slytherin took off the crown with a smile.

Li Weide's eyes flickered. "Could it be that she still retains the knowledge of Ravenclaw?"

If this crown still retains Ravenclaw's profound knowledge, then it can indeed be called a treasure!

But... Li Weide also has his own concerns...

"I know what you are thinking, Wade. It will only read your knowledge, not your secrets." Hufflepuff finally saw through Lewd's concerns.

They could all guess that Li Weide had a secret in his heart, so he was looking at the crown so vigilantly now, and he must be worried about this matter.

Slytherin laughed and said, "Haha, that's true, Wade... As I recall, your Occlumency has never stopped, right?"

Any wizard who knows the art of occlumency will hide their deepest secrets in it...
