The Dark Lord's Guide to Employment at Hogwarts

"The Complete Guide to Low-Level Spells" provides a detailed introduction to the unlocking spell.

Tom looked at the door lock that was opened cleanly in shock. "You...you can actually do this?"

"I was just figuring it out." Li Weide said vaguely, "Let's get started."

Tom didn't have time to ask any further questions and quickly gave orders in Parseltongue.

After a while, Li Weide heard bursts of rustling sounds around him.

Afterwards, snakes kept crawling out from the nearby grass, eaves, and sewers, and then quickly crawled in through the cracks in the doors and windows!

After a while, Li Weide and Tom heard bursts of terrified screams coming from inside!

"It's now!"

Li Weide and Tom pushed the door open and rushed in!

……

A few minutes later.

Tom squatted on the ground and removed a grass snake from the face of a lying man.

He poked the man's hard face with his finger, "So...how did you do it..."

He hardly made any move just now, and then all these people were turned into "statues" by Li Weide.

"I was just speculating. Maybe I just happened to be hit by some kind of petrifying magic attack?"

As Li Weide spoke, he took out a handful of cash from a small box.

This is the cash box he just found.

"So, can this money really be exchanged for wizard's money? Wizard's money is very different from what we have seen before..." Tom said as he was busy tying up these stubborn traffickers with ropes.

"Don't worry, it can definitely be exchanged. Our existence proves that not all wizards come from wizarding families. In other words, there must be a place where coins can be exchanged... Besides..."

Li Weide said this, turning the small box sideways for Tom to see.

"Even if paper money can't be exchanged, these are definitely exchangeable..."

Tom looked up and saw that the bottom of the small box was filled with more than ten small gold bars!

"Gold is hard currency no matter where it is."

Tom looked at Li Weide strangely and said, "You know so much..."

"Ahem, I've read quite a few books before...Okay, let's not talk about money anymore. Let's not forget our 'real' purpose for coming here."

As Li Weide spoke, he stuffed the cash box into a bag and put it on his back.

"Haha, I thought you forgot." Tom said sarcastically.

In his heart, Li Weide was never a good person from the beginning to the end, it’s just that his acting skills were better than his!

This time he said he was here to save people, but in fact, he was here to make money!

"Of course I haven't forgotten! Move your snake away first and don't scare the other kids. They are different from us."

Li Weide was in a good mood and didn't mind Tom's sarcasm.

In fact, for Li Weide, in addition to a large amount of money, he can theoretically also earn a large amount of merit points.

The two of them came to the small room at the corner of the first floor.

Although the room was small, the door was made of iron and looked very sturdy, with an exaggeratedly large door lock hanging on the iron door.

As Li Weide approached the iron gate, he could vaguely hear panicked voices behind the door.

Obviously, the people inside also heard the noise outside.

Li Weide put his hand on the door lock.

Tom stared at his hands, hoping to see some clue.

however……

"Crack!"

Tom couldn't see anything, and the door was unlocked.

“Squeak…”

The heavy iron door was opened and a foul smell hit us.

Tom covered his nose in disgust and hid aside.

Li Weide looked behind the door and saw seven or eight children huddled in the corner of the dark room, looking at the door in horror.

"You are safe. Let's get out of here quickly!" Li Weide said loudly.

The seven or eight children looked at each other and did not move.

Li Weide saw this and frowned, "Everyone, get out here right now and line up! Otherwise, I'll whip you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, seven or eight children ran out in a hurry.

Tom looked at Li Weide with a look of astonishment on his face, "See, I knew you were a villain too."

"Shut up, Tom!"

Li Weide looked at the shivering children standing in a row in front of him, then took out a handful of banknotes from his pocket and distributed some to them.

"Look, those human traffickers have been defeated by the adults in my family. You are free now, leave now!"

Only then did the children notice that the vicious human traffickers who had kidnapped them before were now all tied up like dumplings.

Only at this point did they believe what Li Weide said.

Of course, apart from the fact that there were no adults in the room as Li Weide mentioned, which was a bit strange...

"By the way, I have another question for you. Are all the people here gathered together?" Li Weide asked again.

"We are still... still missing a man and a woman." At this time, a thin little boy said bravely.

"Oh, a tall, strong man and a woman with a husky voice?"

At this point, the other children also began to nod.

"Well, that's it..." Li Weide glanced at their curious eyes and continued, "They have been arrested. You should leave quickly and go home. Oh, and don't forget to report the case for me and have the police arrest these guys."

The children nodded, thanked him quietly, took the money that Li Weide gave them, and left this den.

"Ding! Detected that the host destroyed a human trafficker's den! Rewarding the host with 1000 merit points!"

"Ding! It has been detected that the future Dark Lord has done good deeds and accumulated virtue due to the host's advice, and his life trajectory has changed slightly. The host is rewarded with 100 merit points!"

Li Weide looked at the 1400 merit points displayed in the balance, and his mood suddenly became very comfortable.

"Okay, it's time for us to leave. We still have to go to Diagon Alley!" Tom urged.

Li Weide waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, Tom, we have enough money to take the ride this time, don't we..."

"boom!"

Before Li Weide could finish his words, the floor of the room suddenly shook violently!

Li Weide quickly grabbed the sofa next to him.

Tom was caught off guard and was shocked to the point of falling to the ground!

"Boom..." The ground shook again.

Tom's eyes suddenly widened. "Something seems to be rushing out from the ground!"

Chapter 14 Nagini

As soon as Tom finished speaking, Li Weide felt the ground become weak...

Obviously, the ground is about to collapse!

At the moment the ground collapsed, Li Weide quickly made a simple gesture with his hands and silently recited a spell in his heart.

"Shock reduction and speed stop!"

"boom!"

The entire living room floor collapsed in two in an instant, like a piece of chocolate that was violently broken!

Tom and Li Weide fell directly into the crack!

Fortunately, Levid used the shock-absorbing spell in time, so neither of them had their legs broken directly.

"Ah! What on earth happened! It stinks!" Tom roared angrily.

Then Tom was speechless because the stench in his face made it difficult for him to breathe, let alone curse.

Li Weide covered his nose and looked around. At this time, the dust raised by the collapse of the house floor gradually dissipated.

The faint light pouring down from above illuminated the surroundings a little, but it was still pitch black further away.

But this was enough for Li Weide to realize where he was. They had actually fallen into the sewer!

"The energy is gathering!"

Levid silently chanted a spell and cast a bubble spell on himself and Tom. Two transparent bubbles covered Levid and Tom's heads respectively, successfully isolating the stench from the sewer.

Tom touched the transparent bubble above his head in surprise and looked at Li Weide with a complicated look.

"Is this another magic trick you made up?" Tom's voice came out from the bubble head curse, sounding muffled.

"Now is not the time to talk about this, Tom..." Li Weide looked around vigilantly.

Tom closed his mouth and said nothing more.

On the one hand, Li Weide's ability to research magic on his own made him feel very frustrated and he didn't want to talk anymore.

On the other hand, they are all in danger now...

Anything that can easily collapse the floor, whether it is a person or something else, is definitely not something easy to deal with!

"Swish..."

Suddenly, a series of strange sounds were heard in the dust.

Tom couldn't help but say, feeling extremely uneasy, "Maybe we should just run away now..."

However, before he could finish his words, he saw a huge snake head suddenly jump out from the dark shadows in front of him!

The ferocious snake head opened its bloody mouth, its sharp fangs were clearly visible, and it suddenly bit towards Tom's head!

Tom was completely frightened by the sudden change. His legs seemed to be cast in iron, fixed in place and unable to move at all.

He could only watch helplessly as the snake head bit towards his head.

"There are many obstacles!"

"bump!"

The ferocious snake head was actually knocked back half a meter by Levid's barrier spell!

"Tom! Don't just stand there! Say something!" Li Weide shouted loudly.

"Huh? Say...what?"

Tom had just been attacked by a giant snake and almost lost his life. He had temporarily lost the ability to think.

Therefore, I couldn't react to Li Weide's words at all...

At this time, the big snake shook its head and rushed up again.

"bump!"

Another barrier spell smashed against its head, sending it back again.

"Tom! Talk to it!"

Li Weide shouted and cast a petrification spell.

However, the petrification spell, which had always been effective, was deflected by the snake's dark green scales...

However, with this buffer time, Tom finally came to his senses.

"Hiss, hiss, hiss..." Tom's Parseltongue skill was activated again.

Parseltongue has a controlling effect on snakes, and this time, it really worked.
