The Dark Lord's Guide to Employment at Hogwarts

However, Li Weide simply said, "You just need to do your own thing... Remember, improve your strength as soon as possible, and manage the club well... When the time comes, I will find you."

After Li Weide finished speaking, he took his book and left without giving Tom the chance to ask more questions.

"Improve your strength as soon as possible..." Tom pondered Li Weide's words carefully, and did not notice that Annie came back to his side.

"Tom, how did your talk with Wade go?" Anne asked curiously.

"What?" Tom snapped out of his thoughts.

Annie said, "I mean, how's your talk with Wade going? Why do I feel like he's still unwilling to forgive you?"

"Forgive me? I don't know what you're talking about, Annie..." Tom said with a frown.

"Huh? Isn't it because Wade hasn't forgiven you yet that he hasn't spoken to you for so long?" Annie asked doubtfully.

"Isn't he the same with everybody? Has he been talking too much to you lately?" said Tom impatiently.

When Anne heard this, she was stunned, because she found that Tom was right!

During this period, Li Weide not only alienated Tom, but... seemed to have alienated them all!

"What...what on earth is going on?" Annie asked.

Tom glanced at Anne, then shook his head. "He didn't tell me either. He just said he's been busy lately."

Tom knew that Anne was sent by Grindelwald.

So, he didn't intend to say anything more to her.

But after not getting an answer from Tom, Anne thought more about it herself.

Being busy is not strange, what is strange is that you can’t tell anyone about being busy?

Anne would of course report this counterintuitive thing to Nurmengard.

That night, Grindelwald received the information sent by Anne.

"Isolate yourself from others and keep busy alone?" Grindelwald pondered the words.

If it were anyone else, Grindelwald would at most think that this person was a bit lonely.

But if this person is Li Weide... he has to be cautious.

The prophecy shows that Li Weide and Tom are related to the success or failure of his career.

Grindelwald still has no idea whether their influence on his career is positive or negative...

He had to be wary of whether what Wade was busy with would affect his career.

"Two people from our team that went to the Forbidden Forest are missing," Vita added. "Do you think there's a connection between these two incidents?"

Grindelwald pondered for a moment, then slowly shook his head.

"I've seen both of those boys. Although their abilities are outstanding among their peers, and they can even defeat adult wizards by surprise, they haven't been able to make two adult wizards disappear silently..."

In Grindelwald's opinion, even if Levid and Tom knocked down his two men, they had no ability to get rid of the two men quietly or destroy their bodies without leaving any trace!

You know, because he learned from the previous lessons, the members of the team he sent out this time would not be too far apart when they dispersed to search.

That is to say, even if one group of members is knocked down, the other members will arrive within two minutes at most.

If it were those two kids, there was no way they could have cleared all traces in two minutes and quietly disappeared from the search network...

"Could it be that Dumbledore noticed it?" Vita asked doubtfully, but as soon as she said it, she knew she was wrong...

"No, if it was Dumbledore, there wouldn't be just two people missing. If he had taken action, the team in the Forbidden Forest wouldn't have been able to return... Moreover, our people at the Ministry of Magic haven't sent back any news that they have captured our people."

"So what should we do next?" Vita asked.

"It seems that there is indeed something strange in the Forbidden Forest... However, since our team has been having trouble so frequently, it means that we are getting closer to its secret. It seems that the goblins are not lying... Send more people to continue the search! But this time, the team should not be separated again! Also, have Annie deliver the notebook to the search team. Her main task now should be to keep a close eye on the two boys, especially Wade. She must find out what he is doing now!"

"The notebook was sent to us a while ago, and the search team is now searching the locations recorded in the notebook."

"I see... Maybe that's why the team got into trouble... Next time, remember to tell me this kind of information earlier."

"Yes……"

……

Wizard Tower.

First floor laboratory.

The experimental equipment that Li Weide asked Toby to buy had been delivered a long time ago.

Now, the laboratory on the first floor finally looks like a laboratory again.

At this time, Li Weide was writing something on parchment at his desk.

The two captured Wu Cui Party members have now been stripped naked and soaked in two huge transparent containers.

They looked like two corpses soaked in formalin...

Of course, these two people are still alive, but they have undergone many high-intensity experiments during this period.

Now, although they are not dead yet, they can only survive by relying on nutrient solution...

[…In the same dream, Subject No. 1's heartbeat was normal, his emotions were relatively stable, and his magic power fluctuations were normal.]

[Subject No. 2, after absorbing a small portion of the "residue," experienced a noticeable increase in heart rate. Both his body and mind became overly excited, and his magical fluctuations also increased... This gradually subsided after the "residue" slowly subsided...]

When the same experiment was performed on Subject No. 1, the results were the same as those on Subject No. 2.

[…It must be the negative emotions within the “residue” that stimulated the subject’s magic power…]

Li Weide put down his pen. Now he understood how "residues" could enhance a wizard's power...

The strength of a spell depends not only on the wizard's concentration and proficiency in the spell, but also on the most important factor, which is emotion.

When the emotions are right, the more extreme the emotion, the greater the enhancement of the spell.

For example, happy emotions strengthen the Patronus Charm, and hateful emotions strengthen the Killing Curse!

The main component of these "residues" extracted from the human body by ancient magic is negative emotions!

The ancient magic that extracts negative emotions is like a rope that binds these negative emotions!

Chapter 107: Wade must have his reasons for doing this!

"Emotions...will...these two complement each other and determine the strength of a spell. However, the strength of the wizard's own magic power is also very important, because it is the foundation of all enhancements..."

However, Li Weide is not currently studying how to enhance the wizard's own magical power.

Because he needs to complete the research on the residue before his senior sister self-destructs.

Only in this way can we rescue the senior sister.

From a long-term perspective, if he could rescue the senior, it would be of great help to his future development and his ambition to become the "Dark Lord" in the future.

Li Wei De took out his magic wand and lightly flicked the two experimental subjects.

He then extracted two strong "residues" again.

Because these "residues" once remained in the body of the experimental subject, when they are extracted, they still contain the emotional power of the experimental subject itself.

Therefore, after these two "residues" are extracted again, the amount is even greater than when they were implanted.

Li Weide thought about it, and then drew away all the ancient magical power from the two "remnants".

The moment the ancient magical power disappeared, the two "remnants" turned into black smoke and gradually dissipated into the air.

It's like... a plastic bag filled with black smoke... After the "plastic bag" of ancient magic is removed, the black smoke inside naturally has nowhere to hide and eventually dissipates completely...

After so many days of experiments, Li Weide has already figured out most of the principles of "residue".

In addition to the negative emotions mentioned earlier, which enhance the strength of the spell.

Li Weide also has an answer to why it affects the "host".

Just like black magic, black magic often requires the use of extreme negative emotions, so if used too much, it will cause the user's temperament to change drastically.

This "residue" is still negative emotion in essence!

Therefore, similar side effects will also exist!

As long as negative emotions are placed in a person's body, they will naturally have a subtle influence on the person!

After absorbing too much, the "host" will lose most of its interest in other things.

The only interest left is to collect "residues" and then experience the pleasure of rapidly increasing strength brought by absorbing the "residues".

After absorbing so many "residues" of negative emotions, the senior student is still able to stay sober.

It was all because of the cloak given to him by her best friend, which served as another "plastic bag".

It absorbed and loaded most of the "residues" filled with negative emotions, so the senior student was not affected so much by the negative emotions.

However, although the impact is smaller, it is still there.

The senior sister’s current indifference to life is definitely due to the influence of the “residues”.

Therefore, if he rashly absorbed the "residues" in her body, he would most likely become uncontrollably dependent on them and become another senior...

So the question is, how can we absorb all the "residues" without affecting ourselves?

"Residues... cloak... plastic bag... rope... Is there any way to control this power and use it only when needed?" Li Weide sat in the chair, closed his eyes and thought quietly.

Suddenly, he opened his eyes and raised his wand.

The next second, a ball of silver-gray ancient magical power condensed on the wand.

This is ancient magic in its purest form, not a "leftover".

Li Weide used all his strength to perform Transfiguration on this ancient magical power!

Originally, Li Weide had the ability to change the shape of ancient magical power at any time.

But now, he has specially used the transformation technique based on his own abilities.

Therefore, the deformation of that ball of ancient magical power appeared fast and delicate!

Soon, the ancient magical power was transformed by Li Weide into a thin layer of silver-gray flakes.

Afterwards, while maintaining the shape of the ancient magical power, Li Weide extracted some "residues" from the bodies of the two experimental subjects.

Then, he threw these residues onto the film of ancient magic and wrapped them up like dumplings...

"This way, I should be able to isolate the influence of negative emotions..."

However, Li Weide had not finished speaking.

"puff……"

It was like a balloon being popped.

The ancient magic film was penetrated, and the next second, the "residues" originally wrapped inside quickly rushed out, and then quickly contaminated the ancient magic film!

After a while, the "big dumplings" that Li Weide had specially made turned into a brand new "residue"...

"It's really not that simple. Just wrapping up this little bit of 'residue' has already consumed so much of my energy...and my senior sister still has so much on her body..." Li Weide sighed.

"How about asking Senior tonight about the principle behind the cloak she's wearing... If wrapping it up doesn't work... then maybe operating it like a sponge soaking up water is feasible..."

Li Weide rubbed his swollen head and looked at his pocket watch.

It's dinner time now.

Because he had no classes this afternoon, he spent the entire afternoon in the lab, a full five hours...

After tidying up, Levid Apparated out of the wizard tower and came to the edge of the Forbidden Forest.

Then he quietly returned to Hogwarts Castle.

……

At the Slytherin table, Tom saw Levid who appeared beside him at some point, and his heart was calm. Even his hands did not shake as he peeled the eggs for Nagini.

In fact, it has been like this for a long time, and he has become accustomed to it...

After what happened with Abraxas, Tom has now learned to trust Levid.

Li Weide must have his reasons for doing this... Tom thought so.

Li Weide seemed a little absent-minded at the dinner table tonight.

Tom noticed as he picked up a meatloaf and used Transfiguration to turn it into a pancake.
