The Dark Lord's Guide to Employment at Hogwarts

"Oh...you scared me..."

Li Weide was indeed shocked. He thought that his senior sister finally couldn't resist the temptation and followed Professor Morgana's example and stored a large amount of ancient magical power in the basement of Hogwarts.

Then the dragon slayer will become the dragon himself.

"In fact, there are not just one but many of them. These ancient magical powers are scattered around Hogwarts. You can absorb them..." the senior student continued.

Li Weide's heart, which had been at ease, was lifted up again.

"Senior, you... that little gift you mentioned, could it be these ancient magical powers? I... I don't dare to absorb too much ancient magical power for the time being..."

The senior student waved her hand to stop Li Weide from speaking, then flipped her hand, and a mist with black, red and silver colors appeared in the palm of her hand.

"It is this power that you dare not absorb, is it?"

Li Weide nodded.

"Actually, you don't have to worry at all, because this is not ancient magic power at all. The real ancient magic power can be absorbed to the fullest." The senior student smiled.

Li Weide asked in surprise: "Isn't this ancient magic power? But... I just accidentally absorbed a small bottle, and then I awakened the ancient magic?"

"Although this is not an ancient magic power, it is also an alternative power that can strengthen ancient magic. If you absorb this power, you will naturally be able to awaken ancient magic in advance... You should have heard Professor Dumbledore tell you about Professor Morgana, right?" asked the senior student.

Li Weide nodded. "He gave me a general idea, but the details were not very clear."

In fact, before traveling through time, Li Weide had not officially completed the game. He only knew a general idea about the content of ancient magic and some characters.

When Dumbledore retold the story to him, since Dumbledore himself was not an eyewitness and had only heard it from others, he didn't even know as much as Levid did, so he couldn't tell it in too much detail.

The senior student continued, "Listen to me recount what happened back then, and you'll understand..."

"While studying ancient magic, Professor Morgana unexpectedly discovered that it could extract negative emotions from others..."

"Because of her brother's accidental death, her father was so heartbroken that he hadn't spoken in a long time. So, in order to relieve her father's pain, Professor Morgana used this magic on him."

"After she had drawn out all the grief from her father's heart...she made another unexpected discovery."

The senior student brought the mist to Li Weide and continued, "When using ancient magic to extract the negative emotions of others, a residue will be produced... This residue can enhance the power of ancient magic!"

Li Weide's eyes widened. "Are you saying that this black mist is actually a kind of power generated by the combination of negative emotions and ancient magic, rather than simply the power of ancient magic?"

"That's right," the senior student continued, "Back then, after in-depth research, Morgana discovered that this 'residue' was a magical enhancer. Not only did it make the ancient magic of ancient magic users even more powerful, it could also enhance the magic of others who couldn't use ancient magic!"

Li Weide frowned and said, "How is this possible?"

The senior student said, "That's true. When Professor Morgana discovered this, she couldn't suppress her desire for power. She used her position as a Hogwarts professor to extract all the negative emotions of the students at the time, then stored the resulting residue in several secret vaults..."

"Although she was killed just as she began her plan... the secret vault she left behind still exists."

"Because the container that stores this residue was made by goblins, many years after Professor Morgana's death...when I first started school at Hogwarts."

"A fairy named Lanlock accidentally discovered the diary of the fairy who helped build the container and learned about the existence of this power."

"He believed that this power was magic that wizards had stolen from goblins and hidden. So, he decided to find all this power and return it to the goblins, making them even more powerful and no longer bullied by wizards."

"Lanlock is very clever. He found all the secret vaults except the one under Hogwarts, and together with his men, he absorbed all the 'residues' in those secret vaults..."

"Finally, Lanlock and his followers fought a great battle with us beneath Hogwarts."

"The fairies who absorbed the 'residue' have become more powerful and are truly formidable, especially Lanlock... Even my teacher, Professor Figo, finds it difficult to withstand his attacks."

"In the end, he even managed to absorb all the 'residues' beneath Hogwarts, transforming directly into a powerful fire dragon, and then launched an extremely fierce attack on me!"

Li Weide listened intently and couldn't help asking, "And then?"

The senior shrugged, "Then, I killed him."

Li Weide was slightly stunned. This senior sister was using the calmest tone to pretend to be the most ruthless! It seems that I still need to improve on pretending to be tough!

Lanlock, who had absorbed almost all the remnants of the secret library and made himself extremely powerful, still knelt in front of the senior... He was worthy of being the strongest transfer student.

"After defeating Lanlock, the remnants he absorbed escaped again... I believed this power shouldn't be buried; it should belong to me! So, I absorbed it all." The senior sighed. "After absorbing all this power, I realized that the temptation of this remnant was even greater than that of the ancient magic itself..."

Li Weide understood a little, "So, what you absorbed wasn't the ancient magical power... but this 'residue' that can strengthen the ancient magical power?"

The senior student nodded.

"Then... what does the real ancient magic... the kind that you just said can be absorbed look like?" Li Weide couldn't help but ask.

The senior student put away the black mist in her hand and snapped her fingers.

A ball of magical energy like mercury appeared in front of Li Weide.

"This is the purest ancient magical power... Of course, this ball is just a conjuration created by me using nightmare magic according to my memory."

"These purest ancient magical powers are scattered around Hogwarts. Only those with ancient magical talents can discover their traces."

The story after school starts tomorrow.

Chapter 63 What? Your killing curse can only kill one person?

"This ancient magical power, if absorbed directly, will allow your ancient magic to achieve tremendous advancement. This is a fundamental strengthening, not the kind of external material enhancement brought about by 'residues'. This will be very useful to you."

After hearing what his senior said, Li Weide couldn't help but recall the content of the game.

He realized that this was the same gameplay as in the game, where you search for ancient magic hotspots, absorb them, and then increase the ancient magic "blue bar".

The senior student continued, "The gift I want to give you is a notebook I left behind at Hogwarts. In addition to recording the places I've visited that possess ancient magical powers, it also records many places I haven't had the chance to visit that are suspected to possess ancient magical powers."

"Once you find the notebook, you can then visit each location one by one. Oh, and you can also visit the places I've been to, because I'm not sure if the ancient magical power can still be regenerated in the places I've absorbed it. If it can't, then you can visit the places I haven't been to. Based on my experience, those places are likely to contain ancient magical power as well! There's enough for you to use."

Li Weide nodded, then asked, "Senior, since even those without ancient magical abilities can absorb 'residues' like you, why did you have to look for me? Couldn't you have found someone else? Why were you trapped for so long?"

"Because only those who also possess ancient magical abilities can accommodate this 'residue' to the maximum extent. If it were someone else, they would probably absorb it to death, but still not be able to set me free... because the 'residue' contained in my body now is countless times more than what I absorbed when I defeated Lanlock." The senior student said helplessly.

"If that's the case, then you could have asked your friends to find more people and have each of them smoke a little... Wouldn't you have gotten out earlier then?" Li Weide was still a little confused.

"Because I am still alive today, it is because this cloak froze everything about me, including my body, magic power, and those 'residues' that were about to explode... The bottle of 'residues' I gave you was also accidentally leaked.

"This clearly proves that my cloak has reached its limit. If I take it off, I won't be able to put it back on. Therefore, if you want to save me, you have to devour me as quickly as possible before I can take off my cloak..."

"There's only one chance in such a short time. And my Devouring Magic can only be used on one person at a time. So, no one else can do it. You are the best candidate!"

"If you change your mind and decide to help me, it would be best to wait until your ancient magic has advanced to a certain level, and you are confident that you can contain these 'remnants' without being broken. Only then will it be safer for you to come to me. It's true that I was too eager before and didn't think too much..."

After listening to the senior student’s long speech, Li Weide felt helpless.

It turns out the problem isn't the ancient magic, but the "residues" of the ancient magic discovered by Morgana!

However, this actually didn't have much impact on his plan.

Originally, after gaining a preliminary understanding of ancient magic, he divided the next steps into two steps.

The first step is to confirm the specific side effects of ancient magical powers.

The second step is to figure out what causes the side effects and whether there is any way to eliminate them.

And now, after confirming that the power he wanted to study was not ancient magic, but merely a mixture of ancient magic and negative emotions.

Things are actually much simpler than before.

In other words, he can still continue to improve his true ancient magic without having to worry about bursting and not daring to absorb it.

As for the "residues", they are just icing on the cake.

You know, the senior sister who didn't have the "residue" enhancement at the time was still able to use the unenhanced ancient magic to defeat the enhanced Lanlock.

Clearly, pure ancient magic is already very powerful, so why would one covet such a dangerous power as "remnants"?

At this moment, Li Weide's purpose in studying this power changed from becoming stronger himself to trying his best to save his senior's life...

If you can save them, do so. If you can't save them... then there's nothing you can do.

Of course, Li Weide still hopes to be able to save him, because in that case, it would prove that he has solved the biggest side effect of the "residues".

This also proves that his ancient magic... including other magic, can become stronger due to the enhancement of "residues"!

Thinking of this, Li Weide's mood became much happier.

"Senior, I heard that you often fought against many enemies alone back then... No matter how many enemies there were, you always managed to escape unscathed... How did you do it?" Li Weide asked curiously. "When I faced the numerically superior Witch Party before, after they cast the Iron Armor Curse, I had nothing else to do..."

"The Witch Party... I've heard of them while traveling. They should all be bad guys, right?" asked the senior student.

"Well... you can say that." Li Weide nodded.

"How many people were there at that time?" the senior student asked again.

Li Weide thought for a moment and said, "Twenty-five people."

"Huh? Not even thirty people? Isn't this a matter of a killing curse?" the senior student asked in confusion.

Li Weide coughed dryly twice, then explained, "Ahem, first of all, I don't know how to use the Killing Curse yet, and I can't use it for the time being. Secondly, even if I could use it... there are more than 20 people on the other side. I can only kill one with one Killing Curse at most. If the rest of them fight back together, one spell each, they can blow me away... Even the Shield Charm can't withstand it."

"What? You can only kill one person with this killing curse?" The senior student looked at Li Weide in surprise.

Li Weide suddenly seemed to remember something, "You don't mean to say..."

The senior sister flipped her hand, and a magic wand appeared in her hand. At the same time, Li Weide's dream changed again.

In front of them, there were more than twenty wooden handles.

The senior raised her wand.

"Avada Kedavra!"

"Stab!"

The green light made the pure white dream appear emerald green.

A green spell flew straight out, and when it hit a target, the spell split directly!

After the dark green spell split, it was like a chain of lightning, accurately hitting the remaining twenty or so targets!

"Okay, they're all dead." The senior said calmly.

Although Li Weide had already guessed it, this move still made him amazed.

The senior sister can only use a little bit of magic power now, but she can still do this. You can imagine how cruel the senior sister was back then...

I can kill seven or eight dark wizards on the way to class. This is no joke.

Li Weide couldn't help but ask again: "Then...what if I don't know the killing curse?"

"The stunning spell, petrification spell and so on are all the same." This time the senior student didn't even recite the spell, she just waved her wand casually.

The red magic spell flew out, split, and accurately hit all the targets in front again...

"Senior, I want to learn this!"

At this moment, Li Weide's eyes were determined as if he was about to enter the sect.

I suddenly received a notice from the editor saying I failed the second round of the competition and didn't make it to the third round. They told me to put it online tomorrow. I really didn't plan to wait until school to put it online... I was also planning to write more free chapters. I have to say, Qidian is really different from other websites...

Also: Fuck the same period books! I can’t do this… I feel so sorry for the people of Jiangdong!

Chapter 64: Li Weide: Pure-blood family? Then do you know how many years my Li family has been passed down?

Naturally, the senior student had no reason to refuse Li Weide's request.

Moreover, she had been alone for so many years and had long felt deeply lonely. Now that there was someone to talk to her, she felt really good.

The senior student explained to Li Weide, "In fact, each spell has a certain range, and... if you pay close attention and focus, you can even make the form of the spell change significantly."

"Only extremely powerful wizards can do this with their understanding of spells. However... wizards with ancient magical abilities are an exception."

"Although unleashing all of one's ancient magical powers all at once is extremely powerful, it's not the best way to use them."

"The best way to use it is actually to use ancient magic to strengthen your own magic... I think you should have experienced the feeling of this kind of strengthening."

Li Weide nodded. He remembered that he had used all the ancient magic power to enhance his transformation.

Then the lively Nagini was turned into a little snake.

Even Dumbledore, seeing this, felt that this Transfiguration was incredibly overbearing...

So, Li Weide told his senior about his experience.

"When I first awakened ancient magic, I used it just like you. However, as my understanding of ancient magic deepened, I realized that if I only added a little bit of ancient magic power to your magic, I could gain a spell that was far more powerful than before! There's no need to waste it like this."

Li Weide suddenly realized, "In other words, your lightning chain-like spell attack method is actually achieved using the power of ancient magic?"

The senior student said happily, "You're really smart. That's right, that's exactly it. Moreover, it won't cost you too much of your ancient magical power. Look at me, I can only mobilize a little bit of ancient magical power... but it can still fundamentally change the form of the Killing Curse!"

"The most important thing is that if you simply use ancient magic to enhance your own magic, no one will be able to detect it. This doesn't count as a violation of Professor Dumbledore's instructions to you."
