The Dark Lord's Guide to Employment at Hogwarts

"You're not dead?!"

"Don't be shameless. Can your killing curse kill me?" Li Weide said with disdain.

"Holy shit! You scared me to death!" Tom was paralyzed. "I even just decided which cell I'd be staying in in Azkaban!"

"Oh, it's so heartbreaking. I thought you really cared about my life or death. It turns out you were worried that you would be sent to Azkaban." Levid said, taking out a handkerchief from his pocket.

At this moment, Tom discovered that Li Weide had two lines of nosebleed...

Li Wei De wiped the blood from his nose with a handkerchief, "Tsk... is this the level of your Killing Curse? You are simply a disgrace to Slytherin."

Only a failed Killing Curse would cause a nosebleed, but this situation usually only occurs in young wizards whose magic power is not strong enough.

This should be impossible for Tom, but it turns out that Tom's killing curse is indeed frighteningly weak...

"I didn't really mean to kill you... You scared me to death. My life was almost ruined."

Tom sat down on the ground dejectedly, not caring about Li Weide's ridicule.

But after this commotion and stimulation, the resentment that had been pent up in Tom's heart dissipated.

"But that shouldn't be the case. How come you can't dodge my spell? Could it be that... I'm already that strong?" Tom narrowed his eyes.

"I told you you're fat, and you're out of breath? Do you think the me you saw is really me?" Li Wei pulled over a chair and took a chicken leg from Tom's lunch. "Do you think you really hit me?"

"You mean... the you who is eating my lunch now is not the real you?" Tom frowned and looked at Li Weide.

Yes, with Levitra's cautious character, even if he was sure that his Killing Curse was not powerful enough, he would definitely not dare to dodge, because it was a Killing Curse after all!

Li Weide took a bite of the chicken leg and smiled: "It can be, and it can also be not. I can be when I'm eating, and not after I'm full..."

Tom grabbed the other drumstick and said, "I feel like the you I saw after second grade wasn't the real you!"

"Who knows?" Li Weide said mysteriously, "What you see with your eyes might be false, and what you hear with your ears might also be false... Only when you can discover which one is the real me, will you have a chance of defeating me."

"I always feel like you're lying to me!" Tom said with disbelief.

Li Weide threw the chicken bones on the table, "Then I was lying to you."

Tom looked at the cleanly gnawed chicken bone in shock.

"How could you possibly eat so fast? Didn't you just start eating?"

Li Weide spread his hands and said, "I've already said that what you see may not be true. So, I didn't just start eating, I've already started eating, but you just didn't notice."

Tom suddenly lost his appetite and threw the chicken leg he had taken a bite of back onto the plate.

Li Weide smiled and picked up the chicken leg he had thrown on the menu.

"That's what I ate!" Tom reminded.

"Really? What did you eat?" Li Weide handed the chicken leg to Tom.

Tom was shocked again to find that the chicken leg he had just bitten was now intact!

"You used a repair spell? No..." When Tom said this, he found that his lips, which were originally stained with grease, had become clean again, as if he had never eaten a chicken leg... "This... This is fake again? You manipulated my perception!"

Li Weide smiled and put the chicken leg back on the plate, then patted Tom on the shoulder.

"Keep working hard, Tom... Although you're already pretty good, you're still a long way from me..."

When Li Weide put his hands away, his hands became clean.

Tom watched Li Weide leave numbly. After a while, he finally reacted and stood up suddenly.

"No! Your hands are clean not because you didn't take the chicken drumstick! It's because you rubbed the oil on my clothes!"

……

After the trial of the Pensieve, Tom's strength increased visibly.

Li Weide felt this when he first saw Tom awake.

This is a complete transformation in spirit.

Because of the help of Levitra and Slytherin, Tom originally knew a lot of magic.

I just haven't been able to fully grasp and apply it flexibly before.

After being tortured by the Pensieve for so long, the knowledge that was originally so difficult should now be thoroughly understood.

Of course, given Tom's personality, after his strength skyrocketed, he would definitely become arrogant...

So, Li Weide deliberately showed his ability in front of Tom...

So, Tom, who had started to drift again, now became obedient again.

And after Li Weide deliberately let him take a bite of the big melon, Tom's resentment disappeared almost completely.

Therefore, the originally tense nerves also relaxed under Li Weide's help.

After spending some time at the training ground, Tom went back to his room and fell asleep.

It was not until noon the next day that Li Weide saw Tom again.

At this time, Tom had changed into new clothes and looked refreshed. Even though his face still had some childishness, his temperament was very different from before.

Everyone has felt this potential change.

Tom had such a big change after his experience in the Pensieve.

So, Annie took Nagini and Elena together and prepared to try Levitra's meditation basin.

"Wait a moment, I'll teach you how to turn off the pain synchronization function..." Li Weide said with a smile.

Tom, who was eating lunch with a calm expression, had the fork in his hand bent by him in an instant.

Tom looked up at Li Weide, the veins on his forehead throbbing...

"You mean... those pains that make life worse than death can actually be turned off?"

"Sure!" Li Weide nodded.

Tom slammed the table and stood up: "Why didn't you tell me earlier! Do you know how I've been living these days? Do you know?"

Li Weide said in surprise: "You didn't ask..."

"They didn't ask!" Tom's face turned dark.

"How can you be the same as them? They are all weak girls!"

"Damn it, this is too much! Don't leave after dinner! I want to duel with you!" Tom was completely crazy.

……

after an hour.

Tom lay on the training ground with a bruised face and nose, staring blankly at the ceiling.

His yew wand, like its owner, rolled several meters away.

"You should calm down now, right?" Levid unpacked a chocolate frog and stuffed it into Tom's mouth.

Tom said nothing, just chewed the chocolate in his mouth fiercely.

"Oh...it's a Grindelwald card." Levid happily put the card in his hand into his pocket.

In a fierce battle, Tom fought with all his might, but Li Weide didn't even break a sweat...

After being defeated, Tom thought that the Levid he was fighting against might also be a fake, and he felt hopeless for a moment.

I can’t fight... I can’t fight at all...

It is indeed very difficult to fight against a wall-hanging warrior, even if your dueling skills are the best in the world...

"Have you figured it out? If not, then stand up and try again," said Li Weide.

"No, I figured it out." Tom struggled to get up and picked up his wand.

"What did you figure out?" Li Weide asked.

"I'm different from them... I want to become stronger in a short period of time, so I have to suffer a little. But they are not like that. They just want to give it a try and become stronger by following the rules." Tom wiped his wand with an expression that was so sensible that it made people feel heartbroken.

"Then your beating was not in vain." Li Weide said, "To become a powerful wizard, great strength is only one component."

"What's the other stuff?" asked Tom.

"And stable emotions, and the ability to remain calm at all times." Li Weide said, pointing at Tom, "Are you emotionally stable?"

"Unstable..." Tom said, and then added a little unconvincedly, "But I think anyone would feel angry if they encountered a problem like that, right?"

"There's nothing wrong with feeling angry. Even Dumbledore and Grindelwald get angry from time to time. But... they don't act impulsively out of anger," Levid said calmly. "And you? In your anger, you impulsively challenged me... an opponent you can't currently defeat. And the result was nothing but a beating."

Tom recalled the ways of Dumbledore and Grindelwald...

After a while, he had to admit that Li Weide was right.

He had seen Dumbledore and Grindelwald get angry many times, but after they got angry, the first thing they did was to think about how to proceed, rather than just ignore it in anger. Even the arrogant Grindelwald was the same...

That night, when clearing out the Purgers, Grindelwald found himself being led by the nose. Although he was very angry, he did not command the Wiccans to act impulsively. Instead, he endured it for the time being and waited and saw what would happen.

Because he knew very well that only by being patient temporarily could he catch the enemy's exposed tail...

"I think I understand what you mean." Tom's expression became calm again.

Then, in front of Levid, he put his wand against his forehead and dropped a memory into the Pensieve.

"This is the memory of me fighting you just now..." Tom's eyes flashed with madness.

Li Weide smiled. "Then I suggest you turn off the pain synchronization function this time... Of course, if you suddenly awaken a special fetish and like to get beaten, just ignore what I said."

Tom looked at Li Weide calmly, "I know you still want to make me angry, but... I won't be fooled again!"

Li Weide gave him a thumbs up, then turned and left.

The child has grown up, and now it takes a lot of effort to pua him...

Chapter 404 Do you mean I'm old? !

"It's done." Andrews handed a suitcase to Li Weide.

"Very good, you can stay in the castle first. If you need anything, you can directly find the house-elves in the castle." Li Weide said, weighing the suitcase in his hand.

"Okay." Andrews didn't hesitate and turned to leave Li Weide's suite.

Li Weide carried the suitcase, walked to the wall next to the fireplace, and then reached out and pressed on the wall.

The wall slowly receded, revealing a small single room.

Li Weide stepped into the single room and closed the door behind him. Then, the small single room started to move and began to descend.

This small room turned out to be an elevator. When the room stopped descending and the door opened, a spacious laboratory behind the door suddenly came into view.

Li Weide placed the suitcase in his hand on a test bench and patted it gently.

The suitcase opened automatically, and instruments floated out one by one, landing in their corresponding positions according to Li Weide's instructions...

During this period, he asked Andrews to move the laboratory in Knockturn Alley to the laboratory in the castle.

Meanwhile, the old laboratory in Knockturn Alley hasn't been abandoned.

Li Weide directly asked Andrews to place all the dark wizards conquered by Miravia in that place, ready to be deployed at any time.

This group of guys, who don't look like good people at first glance, hiding in Knockturn Alley doesn't feel out of place at all.

However, as a result, most of the staff in the Fairy Workshop were directly emptied...

Although the fairies in the Fairy Workshop are all talented, it seems that their number is still too small.

Moreover, the breeding bases in Africa are also short of manpower.

At present, it is just a basilisk breeding project, and it can still operate with the help of those house-elves.

But if there are more projects in the future, I am afraid there will not be enough manpower.

Since the breeding base is so large, future expansion projects are inevitable!

So, now Li Weide needs a lot of people... a lot of professional and trustworthy people...

Although those enslaved dark wizards obeyed Levid's orders completely, it was still acceptable for them to kill and burn people.

Want them to do research? Forget it...

"Does it mean... that we have to use those puppet insects after all?" Li Weide sat in the laboratory with a cold look in his eyes.

Puppet worms can be used, but their function is to enslave, so Li Weide still hopes to use them on the enemy.
