The Dark Lord's Guide to Employment at Hogwarts

command post.

Tom sat listlessly on the side.

Just now, Dumbledore lectured him for a long time before leaving...

This made Tom doubt his life for a moment.

Miravia sat on the other side with Nagini, quietly wiping the beech wand in her hand with a white handkerchief.

The door was opened and Li Weide walked in with a serious expression.

"Did you find anything?" Miravia asked.

"It's hard to say, maybe I was wrong..." Li Weide had no intention of expressing his uneasiness.

He planned to wait for Grindelwald. Perhaps the information he brought back would allow him to find a suitable answer...

"Why don't you go back and rest first. It's getting late." Li Weide said.

"What about you?" Nagini asked.

"I want to wait a little longer..." Li Weide said.

Tom shook his head and said, "I want to wait a little longer too. I need to know who is targeting our family... Only then can my father and the others return to Riddle Manor with peace of mind."

"Then let's wait a little longer." Nagini said. "I want to know the truth too."

"I don't mind," Miravia said.

"Okay... let's wait together." Li Weide also sat on the sofa, looking quietly at the chandelier above his head. No one knew what he was thinking.

Just when Nagini was about to fall asleep from waiting, the door was pushed open again.

Grindelwald stormed in, and behind him, Dumbledore also walked in.

"Did you catch the person?" Li Weide asked.

Grindelwald certainly knew that what Levid was asking was whether he had captured a valuable target.

"Of course! I have captured all the leaders of the Purgers, big and small." Grindelwald picked up the kettle beside him, poured a glass of water, tilted his head back and poured it into his mouth.

"Where is that person?" Li Weide asked.

"He has been temporarily sent to Azkaban by my people!" Grindelwald emphasized that they were his people.

The Witches are not the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic and can be absolutely trusted. Therefore, they will never escape.

"Since he is going to be sent to Azkaban, I believe you have already got the answers to your questions?" asked Li Weide.

"Yes... yes..." Grindelwald also pulled up a chair and sat down. "You wouldn't know, but that attack was actually aimed at you!"

"We have already thought of this." Dumbledore also sat down.

Grindelwald glanced at him, then continued, "But you certainly don't know who instigated these Scourers to attack you! Why did these Scourers, who have been so cautiously hidden for so long, lose their patience and actually accept the provocation?"

"...If I'm not mistaken, the ones who instigated them to attack me must be the heads of several famous pure-blood families, right?" Li Weide suddenly said.

"You know?" Grindelwald looked at Levid in surprise.

"I don't know... but this should be the most appropriate result. If a few heads of influential pure-blood families come out to take the blame, the matter will naturally end... If the blame is strong enough, you won't doubt it... and everyone won't doubt it either, then the matter will be over." Li Weide pondered.

"Are you having some conspiracy theories?" Grindelwald asked, frowning. "There's no mention of anything else in their memories... I even used Veritaserum."

"Let's not talk about this for now. Can you tell me how I provoked these purebloods to attack me?" Li Weide asked.

"It's hard to believe..." Grindelwald said, "Those purebloods managed to let the Scourers know something..."

Grindelwald looked at Levid and then at Nagini.

Li Weide asked in surprise, "Could it be related to Nagini?"

"They tried to let the Scourers know... that you have the ability to purify blood curses. Nagini, a blood-cursed orc, was healed by you, which is the best example. If you didn't have the ability to purify blood, how could you have cured Nagini's blood curse? And those Scourers... have always believed that wizards can perform magic only because of the curse in their blood. So... they hope to capture you, obtain the method to purify blood, and then... remove the 'curse' from all wizards and turn them back into ordinary people."

Upon hearing this, Li Weide couldn't help but lie back on the sofa. "Me? I can purify the bloodline and turn wizards into ordinary people? Haha... If the Purger knew this, indeed... no matter how cautious they were before, they would definitely capture me at all costs."

The Purgers hate wizards and magic, and they only want to completely destroy the wizarding world. So, if Levid is caught, it will be like their biggest killing weapon!

"But...how did they know about me?" Nagini asked puzzledly.

"My men have already set out for those pure-blood families... As long as we capture them, we will know where they got this information from." Grindelwald said.

Levid smiled, "There won't be an answer. Believe it or not, as long as you keep investigating, you will definitely find that the news leaked from our side. After all, when I cleansed the blood curse, I didn't keep it secret... Aberforth and his men still run a tavern, and Nagini even stayed in the tavern for a while, so it would be easy for her to leak the news... You know how complicated the flow of people in the tavern is. They may have accidentally learned about such an incident, so they took advantage of it..."

"Why do you always feel that there is something hidden behind this matter?" Grindelwald was a little puzzled, even though the context of the matter was already very clear.

"Wait until you finish speaking, then I will summarize and tell you my findings," said Li Weide.

Nagini frowned and said, "But even if they heard about me...how can they prove that I was once a blood-cursed orc, and not just a lie told by those pure-bloods? Most of the news spread in the tavern is false, right? Why would they believe it? And they even launched an attack like that..."

"Have you had conflicts with many dark wizards before?" Grindelwald smiled.

"You...how do you know?" Nagini looked at Grindelwald warily.

Grindelwald said, "According to the information I obtained through torture, the Purgers didn't fully believe the news of Livid's abilities after learning about it. They specifically sought you out, intending to find out if you were once a Blood Curse Orc. Then they happened to see you fighting those dark wizards, and that's when they recognized you... After all, the magic of a Blood Curse Orc is different from that of a pure wizard... because you are both human and beast... Since you can even save a hopeless Blood Curse Orc... then Livid's blood purification ability is naturally true."

Nagini pursed her lips tightly. Grindelwald's words, "You are both human and beast," made her feel very uncomfortable...

"So, they confirmed with Nagini that I did have the ability to cleanse the blood curse, and then decided to capture me... Well, that makes sense." Levid sighed, and continued, "But... if they wanted to attack me, why didn't they wait until I was out alone? During that time, I spent quite a lot of time alone outside. After all, I was completely defenseless. To be honest, if they hadn't attacked the entire Hogwarts Express, your witch party wouldn't have taken action... I can understand their reckless actions, but... they seem to be deliberately making things worse..."

"You mean, someone wants to use the Purgers to capture you, and then use Grindelwald to clean up the Purgers to put an end to this matter?" Dumbledore listened for a long time before summarizing Levid's meaning.

Li Weide nodded and said, "Yes... Although many aspects of this matter seem to be very logical, I still feel something is strange. It always feels too deliberate... Moreover, I have discovered a very strange point..."

Chapter 400: The "ghost thing" hidden in the shadows

"You just said you had a discovery." Grindelwald adjusted his sitting position and looked at Levid with a sharp gaze. "Now that I have shared my findings, it's your turn."

"Remember the Purger we met in Azkaban?" Levid asked.

"Of course, you said he was dying and there was a strong suspicion it wasn't him," Grindelwald repeated.

"Yes... He's dying, and some of his memories have been deleted." Li Weide said, "And I discovered tonight that the physical conditions of those we subdued are the same as that person's. They are all dying, and their magic power is weak..."

Grindelwald stood up suddenly and looked at Levid in surprise, "Are you sure you didn't see it wrong?"

Li Weide said, "I checked many of them in succession, and every one of them was... and the interesting thing is... I found that the magic power of several of them had not become weak, but was decreasing rapidly! After a while, they were as weak as the man in Azkaban... So, Mr. Director, I think my previous judgment was wrong. The man in Azkaban is me..."

Grindelwald turned to look at a witch next to him. The witch immediately understood, opened the door and left in a hurry.

Levid understood that Grindelwald had sent someone to check.

Grindelwald sat down with a heavy heart, saying nothing.

Dumbledore said, "If that's the case... then it means they may have mastered a method to temporarily increase their magical power... Otherwise, if they are all like the Scourer in Azkaban, our attack tonight would be impossible to resist."

Each of Grindelwald's witch party members is strong, not to mention that all the elite members are out tonight.

A group of elite witches attacked a group of weaklings, but it was so difficult to defeat them that Grindelwald and his men had to take action personally to break in...

There is no other explanation except this one.

Grindelwald spoke again, "In other words... this might be a temporary method of increasing strength with very significant side effects. Once used, it will consume a large amount of vitality. So, after the time is up, their magic power will return to its original level, and they will all look like they are about to die..."

"It does seem to be the case at the moment, but to be rigorous, I think you should still consult a healer at St. Mungo's," Levid suggested.

Grindelwald's expression was grim. He believed in Levid's ability, and this matter was almost certain...

Since this is true, it proves one thing, that is, these guys are just tools, that is, the "truth" he is about to see is just something others deliberately let him see.

Including those pure-blood wizards who were about to be imprisoned, they were just poor scapegoats...

There is no doubt that even if those pure-bloods were given truth serum, the answer they would get would definitely be... that it was all their orders.

In other words, all my efforts for so long were just being led by the nose!

For a moment, Grindelwald's anger was almost suppressed, and everyone felt that the temperature in the whole room seemed to drop by several degrees.

Miravia stopped wiping her wand and her eyes fell on Grindelwald.

Grindelwald felt a chill on his back. He turned around and glanced at Miravia in confusion...

Then, the cold feeling disappeared.

"Forget it, now that things have come to this... let's just end this matter here. Just do as they wish and let those pure-bloods take the blame. They weren't innocent to begin with anyway..." Grindelwald said slowly.

It sounded as if Grindelwald had given up struggling, but his cold eyes told everyone present that this matter was not over yet!

Moreover, since this group of people came out once, they will definitely come out a second time!

This time he admitted defeat, but if they come out again...

Grindelwald looked at Levid, as if he wanted to say something, but when he saw Dumbledore was still beside him, Grindelwald didn't say it.

He walked towards the door, opened it, and then turned around and said, "Tonight's affairs will end here for now. I have to go and get busy. You... can go back. Of course, I will not forget your help tonight, so on behalf of the Ministry of Magic, I will give each of you an appropriate reward..."

Grindelwald said, closing the door and leaving.

"It seems someone is in trouble tonight," murmured Tom.

Grindelwald is now forcibly suppressing his anger... Therefore, whoever runs into him tonight will definitely become a punching bag and be in big trouble.

"His temper is much more restrained now. If it were in the past, this town would have been engulfed in flames." Li Weide said softly.

"Well..." Dumbledore stood up. "I won't let him do anything too extreme. You... go back first. And... Wade, it's best not to go out for a while. That group of people has been targeting you from the beginning... This incident seems to be just the aftermath of their failed operation..."

With that, Dumbledore also left the command post.

Li Weide sighed and stood up.

"Let's go, let's go back..."

He had long known that this world was much more complicated than the one he knew.

It's simply a parallel world within a parallel world. God knows what kind of ghost things are hidden in the darkness.

……

If Levid and his crew want to return to the moving castle, they don't need to go through so much trouble.

After they turned the ring, they were teleported directly back to the castle.

After saying good night to each other, Li Weide returned to his room.

Tom Cat was sleeping soundly in front of a plate by the wall. The plate contained not the iconic milk, but magical animal nutrient solution.

On the wall next to the plate, there is a small arched door. Behind the door is a small room that Li Weide specially prepared for Jerry...

Li Weide sat back at his desk, casually pulled out a piece of parchment, and then drew lines on it with a quill pen...

Countless winding lines combine to form a complex pattern.

There is a method that can increase a person's strength dramatically...even if it may burn his life, Li Weide did not miss it.

So, when he was checking, he drew the trajectory of the magic power that escaped when the magic power of those people dissipated...

"If we can eliminate these negative effects, it might be another trump card..."

……

Early the next morning, Toby brought Levid breakfast, newspapers, and a box sent in the name of the Ministry of Magic.

The front page headline of the Daily Prophet was the news that the attack on the Hogwarts Express had been solved.

The culprits were a few haggard, dejected-looking pure-blood wizards...

The newspapers said that it was they who instigated the remnants of the Purgers to attack the Hogwarts Express, intending to destroy the next generation of wizards in the British wizarding world...

The footage of the battle last night was also published in the newspaper, but Li Weide did not find his own people in those photos.

Dumbledore probably wanted them to keep a low profile. After all, he and Tom were still students, and they were not allowed to use magic during the holidays.

Dumbledore and Grindelwald turned a blind eye to this. If someone else saw it, it would be disastrous.

Li Wei De put down the newspaper and opened the box from the Ministry of Magic.

Inside the box was a stack of magic manuscripts.

Obviously, this was sent by Grindelwald in the name of the Ministry of Magic as a reward for Levitra's help last night.

He knew that Li Weide was not short of money, so he got a few magic manuscripts...

If Li Weide guessed correctly, each of Tom and the others would have their own reward.

Just as Li Weide was thinking this, his door was opened.

Miravia walked in carelessly, biting an apple, and sat directly on Li Weide's special sofa.
