The Dark Lord's Guide to Employment at Hogwarts

Nagini looked at the little basilisk with a complicated look. She had been wrapped around Levid's wrist in the same way before...

Fortunately... she has now recovered into her human form!

Livid flicked his wand, and the fallen targets stood up again.

"Why don't you move the target in a different direction?" Tom couldn't help saying. "What if Andre or Annie comes over and you really hit them?"

"Oh...that makes sense." Levid tapped his wand lightly, and the human-shaped targets changed direction.

Li Weide stood in front of the human-shaped targets and said, "Look carefully, the important thing about this spell is not the spell itself, but the trajectory of the magic power... You just need to visualize a map of the magic power trajectory in your mind, and then..."

Before Li Weide could finish his words, a huge transparent shadow appeared behind him... It was a coiled snake!

Levid waved his wand forward, and the big snake behind him opened its eyes instantly!

A dazzling yellow light shot out from the big snake's eyes and hit a target in front directly!

"Buzz!"

A strange buzzing sound was heard, and the target instantly turned into stones, then scattering all over the ground with a crackling sound...

And after the giant snake's phantom behind Li Weide launched another attack, it still did not dissipate...

Li Weide stood still, but the snake's eyes continued to emit yellow light automatically until it hit all the targets on the opposite side, and then slowly disappeared...

The effect of the spell seemed somewhat mediocre, but... Miravia, Tom and Nagini all looked solemn.

Because they all felt a deadly threat from this spell... as if they were facing a killing curse.

"What would happen if this spell were used on a human?" Tom asked directly.

The same spell will have completely different effects when it falls on a person and an object.

When the Avada Kedavra curse hits a person, the person will die immediately, but when it hits an object, it will just explode directly.

Therefore, the best way to defend against Avada Kedavra is always physical defense.

Of course, this requires relatively strong physical defense...

"Although I haven't tried it on humans, the result should be immediate death," Livid replied calmly. "As I said, this is magic extracted from the eyes of a basilisk... What effect does the eyes of a basilisk have?"

Tom said, "Whoever you look at will die... Is this magic of yours too? Just looking at the shadow of the basilisk behind you will kill you?"

"Not only that... If the enemy dies just by looking at each other... then it will be easy for them to defend themselves. So I made some improvements. As long as they see you, you will be attacked. Once you are hit, you will die." Li Weide said.

The basilisk's sight has no spell rays, so if you look into its eyes, you will die. However, because of this, if you close your eyes and don't look into its eyes, its sight magic will not work.

But after Levid's transformation, the basilisk's vision turned into a spell ray. Even if you didn't look directly at it, you would die instantly if you were cursed.

Although it is not as unexpected as the basilisk's sight, it is easier for wizards to operate and is less likely to accidentally hurt teammates.

Otherwise, if teammates couldn't help themselves or accidentally made eye contact with the basilisk's shadow, that would be bad.

"Your magic..." Tom paused, "If nothing unexpected happens, it should be considered an Unforgivable Curse..."

The most fundamental characteristic of the Unforgivable Curses is that they have no counter-curses.

This spell causes instant death, and just like the Killing Curse, anyone who is hit by it will die, so... this can be considered a new Unforgivable Curse created by Levitra!

"I'm just asking you whether you want to learn it or not." Li Weide said directly.

Tom shook his head. "This is dark magic, Wade. I don't use dark magic anymore..."

Chapter 395 Promise me, don’t cut your own soul for fun

"As an upright wizard, I will not use your evil black magic. I will fight like Dumbledore, in the name of the magic of love..." Tom said solemnly.

Li Weide took a breath of cold air...

If old Slytherin heard this, he would probably light a stick of incense for himself and take a deep breath to calm himself down.

Damn it! Voldemort not using dark magic is no different from the West losing Jerusalem!

"Then what kind of magic do you want to learn..." Li Weide said helplessly.

"Something powerful, not black magic..." Tom's eyes flashed with a strange light.

Li Weide immediately understood that what this kid said about not liking black magic was all bullshit!

This is the nightmare magic targeting him!

Li Weide turned to look at Miravia, "Senior Miravia, this isn't a powerful spell of black magic, can you?"

Miravia simply shook her head… The magic she knew, any powerful magic, was basically black magic.

With her talent in ancient magic, she suffers far less negative impact from using black magic than others, and the same is true for Li Weide.

It is precisely because of this that they dare to use black magic so frequently...

Tom looked at the two of them in surprise. No... I've already hinted at this...

"That... is your magic that can confuse people... nightmare magic..." Tom spoke shamelessly.

Only the crying child gets the milk. If you care too much about your face, you will get nothing!

Tom figured this out a long time ago!

"I know, but that's dark magic! Tom...you just said that you want to fight like Dumbledore and never use dark magic again. So..." Levid said with regret.

"Oh, what a pity, otherwise, it wouldn't be a big deal for me to teach you that magic. I was also the one who taught Wade the nightmare magic." Miravia also looked regretful.

Tom's lack of knowledge about nightmare magic led him to have no idea that nightmare magic was actually serious black magic.

When Levid got the scroll in the tower of the Somleno family, it was written clearly on it.

At that time, Li Weide even questioned the evil extent of this magic...

Tom was stunned. Isn't it... Nightmare magic is also black magic?!

"Well... is it too late for me to change my mind now..."

"We can't lead an upright wizard astray, Tom." Livid said regretfully, "I really can't do such a thing as watching an upright wizard fall into depravity."

"No...I just..."

Miravia also shook her head and said, "Let us evil dark wizards bear the pain of dark magic... We finally see an upright wizard who doesn't use dark magic. We can't let him learn bad habits."

"No...I..." Tom, who was bullied and teased by the two men, suddenly felt like crying but had no tears.

What he said just now really killed him, and he talked about evil black magic and other things, which obviously offended this mysterious senior sister.

So... it seems that I really have no connection with nightmare magic...

Tom was extremely depressed. Such a good opportunity today! He didn't expect that he had wasted it because of his momentary talk!

"I don't care! You have to compensate me. I almost died just now!"

Even if he can't get the nightmare magic today, he will still bite off a piece of meat from Li Weide!

Li Weide said with a smile: "Okay, then I will teach you another powerful magic."

"What magic?" Tom immediately became excited.

"I'll teach you soul magic... Complete soul magic isn't black magic, but incomplete soul magic might not be. However, this doesn't count as breaking your promise not to use black magic."

"But you must remember that the stronger your own soul is, the stronger your soul magic will be! So, after you learn soul magic, you must never split your soul or cut your soul for fun... Otherwise, after your soul loses its integrity, the magic will become ineffective, and it may even backfire on you..." Li Weide's eyes flashed.

"Not splitting the soul? Of course! Why would I split my soul for no reason?" Tom was baffled by Li Weide's final words. "Is soul magic very powerful?"

"It's very powerful. It's almost lost now, and the scattered parts that have been passed down have been changed into black magic... I only learned it recently, and besides myself, I have only seen Ms. Paris know it... You know how powerful she is. Even Professor Dumbledore doesn't know the complete soul magic." Levid said in a seductive tone.

"Okay, I'll learn this!" Tom, who was so inexperienced, didn't understand the twists and turns of this. He was immediately delighted.

Miravia looked at Li Weide in confusion. "When did you learn soul magic? Did Ms. Paris teach you?"

"No..." Li Weide shook his head, "I learned it somewhere else."

Elsewhere, it refers to the Ravenclaw diadem.

After learning that there was a top AI in the crown that copied all of Ravenclaw's profound knowledge, Livid asked the crown how to create a top "AI" like her.

As a result, the crown told her that she did not find any knowledge of soul magic in Livid's knowledge, so Livid could not create an advanced "consciousness body".

In other words, one needs to understand soul magic in order to create a consciousness like the one in the crown and the conscious body like the Sorting Hat.

So, the clever Li Weide changed the question and asked Guan Mian about the complete soul magic...

Ravenclaw, one of the four great masters, apparently also knows soul magic...

Otherwise, she would not have been able to inject her own thoughts into the Sorting Hat.

In other words, the four giants all know soul magic.

Therefore, even if Levid went to ask Slytherin, he could still get complete soul magic from him.

The old man Slytherin and all his knowledge can now be said to be Tom's foundation.

Li Weide used Tom's background to compensate Tom for himself, and then Tom had to be grateful to him...

Although the method was a bit brutal, if Tom could be fooled so that his soul would not be split in the future, then the crazy Voldemort would never appear again.

This is simply a great deed with immeasurable merit! If the system isn't malfunctioning, I should give myself a huge amount of merit points!

"Okay, go find a room to stay in now, and I will teach you tomorrow." Li Weide said seriously.

Tom happily pulled his suitcase and followed Nagini to choose a room.

Miravia looked at his back and couldn't help but say, "I always feel like you are deceiving fools..."

Li Weide quickly stretched out a finger and placed it between his lips, "Shh...be quiet! I finally managed to coax him, if anyone hears... help me coax him!"

……

The following week, Li Weide really taught Tom soul magic.

Miravia and Nagini were also listening nearby, after all, Levid didn't avoid them.

During this period, Li Weide repeatedly emphasized the harm that a split soul can cause to a person, especially the risk of mental disorder.

In fact, Li Weide was not worried at all that Tom had ambitions, after all, he had some too.

However, Levitra was worried that Tom would turn into that madman Voldemort...

Sometimes, crazy people are much more difficult to deal with than rational people.

Because a conceited madman will not consider the consequences of his actions, and therefore is completely unpredictable, which makes him very difficult to deal with...

Besides, humans are not plants or trees, so who can be heartless?

After being together for several years, Li Weide really didn't want to see Tom fall into depravity again.

"Mastering soul magic not only allows you to harness the power of your soul to speed up your spellcasting, but also enhances the power of your spells. After all, the focus you place on casting spells originates from your own soul! Furthermore, soul magic can directly attack the enemy's soul... rendering them dazed or unconscious! And it's incredibly stealthy, undetectable to anyone... Furthermore, you can even use your powerful soul power to create soul puppets... Of course, the puppets' strength is equal to your own soul's."

On this day, Li Weide was guiding Tom in learning soul magic as usual, and Tom listened very carefully.

"Can you release the soul puppet?" Tom asked.

"Although I've only been learning for a short time, I can do it." Li Weide took out his wand and lightly tapped it, and two translucent wolves suddenly appeared in front of Tom.

Following Li Weide's command, the two translucent soul wolves pounced on the target, leaving deep scratches on it...

"This requires a rich imagination! The same as transfiguration!" Li Weide explained.

In fact, the soul puppet is equivalent to using soul power to perform deformation, but unlike deformation, this kind of soul can ignore a lot of defense! This is why Li Weide said that soul magic is powerful.

Moreover, the so-called method of creating advanced "AI" is also the method of making soul puppets.

This requires imitating the soul, using the soul's power to create a "pseudo-soul", and then imprinting some of the characteristics of one's own soul into it...

Then the "pseudo-soul" will have its own form and way of thinking. When the imprinted soul characteristics reach a certain level, this "pseudo-soul" will become what Li Weide calls "advanced AI."

Of course, this requires extremely high attainments in soul magic and extremely powerful soul power.

It was a remarkable achievement for Li Weide, a beginner, to be able to make his soul puppet inflict scars on the target within a month.

Li Weide guessed that his magic fire Lucifer might have been imprinted with some of his soul characteristics at birth, otherwise how could he know so much right after being born?

Just as Tom and the others continued to practice soul magic, Toby walked in with a letter.

"Master Wade, Grindelwald has sent you a letter."

Although the moving castle was completely hidden, Levid still left some special methods...

If the recipient is in the castle, the owl will fly to another place and be noticed by the house-elves in the castle.

Only after confirming that there is no danger will the house-elf activate the magic left by Levid and teleport the owl directly over.
