The Dark Lord's Guide to Employment at Hogwarts

"Didn't you say you wouldn't go?"

"If it were just for the Dark Arts, there's no need to go, of course. But now, there's a reason why we have to go, isn't it?"

Li Weide looked at Tom who was trying hard to close his eyes and fall asleep, and couldn't help scratching his head.

This future Dark Lord, isn't he being a bit too serious right now...

Li Weide sighed with emotion, then swiftly pulled out his beech wand.

Just at this moment, Tom opened his eyes and saw his actions, "What do you want to do?!"

A red light flashed, and Tom looked at Li Weide in disbelief.

“So fast…”

"thump!"

Tom fell onto his bed and fell into a baby-like sleep.

"Didn't you want to fall asleep quickly... It's bad. My hands are too fast. I'm used to it..." Li Weide said with some guilt while holding the magic wand.

……

Twelve o'clock at night.

Almost all the students were already sleeping soundly in their warm beds.

Meanwhile, Li Weide and Tom were wandering outside...

At this point, both of them cast an Disillusionment Charm, and the conversation switched to a Whispering Charm.

In order to be able to see the way in the dark, they also drank the nightingale potion which can give them night vision.

Quietly in the corridor, Tom couldn't help but shiver.

Although it was only mid-October, the weather was unexpectedly cold. Even Nagini could only stay in a place with a fireplace, otherwise her body would be frozen.

"Do you have any way to identify curses? As far as I know, many of those banned books contain curses." Tom wrapped his robe tightly.

To be honest, if Tom hadn't been afraid of the curses on the banned books, he would have read all the books in the banned section last year...

"Don't worry, I'm fully prepared." Li Weide took Tom and suddenly turned into the corridor next to him.

"Hmm? Isn't the library that way?"

"It's quite cold over there by the window. It's warmer this way." Li Weide said calmly.

"Humph... I don't feel cold." Tom said while rubbing his stiff fingers.

Li Weide didn't say anything else, but just led the way silently.

In fact, it has nothing to do with whether it is cold or not.

According to the route map left by the senior, the entrance to Slytherin's secret study is on the way to the library.

It's just that we need to take a short detour...

Therefore, the so-called trip to the restricted area tonight was just a cover. Levitra's real destination was Slytherin's secret study.

Otherwise, if you are just going to the restricted books area, there is no need to bring Tom with you.

After a while, Li Weide stopped at the end of a corridor.

"Why aren't you leaving?" Tom looked at the right side of the corridor, where there was a staircase leading upstairs. "We should go right, then left... No, what are you daydreaming about?"

Li Weide suddenly pointed to the wall at the end of the corridor and said, "Have you noticed that the snake on this wall looks familiar?"

"This is near the Slytherin common room. Isn't it normal to have a snake pattern here?" Tom asked doubtfully.

This wall really looks ordinary. The only special thing about it is the two intertwined snake patterns on it.

However, this style of wall can be found everywhere near the Slytherin common room.

Tom didn't understand what was so special about it.

Li Weide continued to deceive: "Don't you feel the traces of magic power above?"

"Is there?" Tom also stared at the wall, but even though he was staring at it until it was almost bruised, he couldn't see any trace of the so-called magic. "I didn't find anything special... Wade, don't waste time, we need to get to the restricted area quickly."

"Yes, I'm not mistaken..." Li Weide said seriously.

Tom became serious after hearing this and looked at the wall again.

Since Li Weide said there was a problem, then there is a high probability that there really is a problem...

"How about you try speaking to the wall in your Parseltongue?" Li Weide said in a very pointed manner.

"Well? What?" asked Tom.

Li Weide said: "For example, 'open the door' or 'open'. You know me, although I can understand some Parseltongue, what I say is still a little non-standard."

Tom sighed, "Okay..."

He looked at the two snakes entangled with each other on the wall, and suddenly a hoarse sound came out of his mouth.

"Shasha..."

Suddenly, the dim eyes of the two snakes entangled with each other lit up with dazzling green light!

Then, the two snakes came to life instantly and climbed up the wall!

As the two snakes left, the wall suddenly made a creaking sound, and then slowly rose up, revealing a dark corridor behind it!

Tom looked at the changes in front of him in shock, not knowing what to say for a moment.

"Ah... I don't often walk this road, and I didn't realize how special it is until today!" Levid said in surprise. "But... since it requires Parseltongue to open it... Tom, maybe this is a legacy left by your ancestor to his descendants."

Tom felt a pang of heartache when he heard this.

It is certainly a good thing to have inheritance left by ancestors!

But...can't you just let me discover it on my own?

Now there is a Li Baopi following him!

If there is really any inheritance, will it be my turn?!

"Weide... leave some for me." Tom looked at Li Weide eagerly, "After all, it's something left by my ancestors..."

"Eh? Tom! What are you talking about! Am I that kind of person? How could I possibly share the inheritance left by your ancestors?" Li Weide said, and then he excitedly went into the corridor...

Tom looked at his back and couldn't help feeling sad. You're not that kind of person. Why are you rushing so fast?

But... what can I do? I can't beat him! I can't beat him at all!

Chapter 210: So when you said you wouldn’t divide the inheritance, you meant to keep it all for yourself!

The long corridor was pitch black, without a trace of light.

When Tom followed Li Weide into the corridor, the door behind him slammed shut!

Tom was startled and looked behind him quickly.

Because the effect of the Eagle Eye potion was still there, he could still see clearly what was happening behind him even without using the wand to illuminate the area.

At this moment, the door behind him had completely disappeared, leaving only a cold wall.

Tom anxiously examined the wall, hoping to see even the slightest image of a snake on it.

Because only in this way, maybe I can use Parseltongue again and open the door again!

But... nothing!

Tom's heart immediately began to tighten.

"Wade! The door can't be opened!" Tom said hurriedly.

No matter what Tom's future achievements will be, now he is just a twelve-year-old boy.

When faced with such a scenario, fear is the norm.

So now Tom was somewhat glad that he was not exploring this place alone.

"Don't panic, Tom..." Levid said calmly while looking around: "This door can only be opened by Parseltongue. And throughout the history of the wizarding world, all wizards who can speak Parseltongue have ancestors with some connection to Slytherin. So, this is the place Slytherin left for his descendants! There is no doubt about that! I don't think Slytherin is so cruel as to harm the bloodline of his descendants..."

In such a scenario, apart from adults with mature psychological endurance, only a guy like Li Weide, whose actual age is much older than his physical age, can remain calm and think calmly.

Of course, although Li Weide remained calm, he was also a little annoyed.

Why don’t you complete the game you bought for hundreds of dollars?

Otherwise, I wouldn’t know nothing about this “copy” now!

However, since the senior sister had passed the level once before, they must have solved many traps and the like... This is good news.

But... why did she insist that there must be two people to explore this place?

Li Weide didn't think too long. He shook the wand in his right hand lightly, and a wisp of white smoke emerged, floating lightly into the depths of the corridor.

In such a situation where exploration is needed, the silent nightmare magic does have great advantages.

Seeing Li Weide's move, Tom suddenly said, "Can you teach me this magic?"

"This?" Levid swung his wand, and white mist surrounded him.

"Yes," said Tom.

I guess most of the benefits of Slytherin's inheritance will go into Levander's pocket. It would be better to learn something from Levander now, so that it won't be a loss tonight.

"This is black magic... Do you really want to learn it?" Li Weide asked. "Didn't you say you didn't want to learn black magic anymore?"

Li Weide did not fool Tom this time. Nightmare magic is indeed a serious black magic.

"Dark magic?" Tom was a little skeptical. "What kind of dark magic is it? Is it difficult to learn?"

"It's functional. As for whether it's difficult to learn..." Li Weide counted on his fingers. "At least I've been learning it for over a year, and I'm just getting started."

Tom immediately shut up. Since Levid said that, no matter whether what he said was true or false, he might not be able to use this magic.

If what Li Weide said was true, then this magic could make a monster like Li Weide spend more than a year studying it just to get started, so there was no need for him to learn it.

After all, one of the main reasons why he decided to temporarily give up learning black magic was that most black magic seemed difficult to learn and master at his age. It would be better to wait a few years until he grew up a little and his magic power became stronger before learning it.

And if Li Weide is just fooling me... then there is no hope. If he is really willing to teach me, why would he fool me?

"Then I won't learn it. I've already said that I don't plan to touch black magic in the next few years. Besides... if you want to become powerful, you don't necessarily have to rely on black magic." Tom shook his head and said.

Li Weide raised his thumb and said happily, "Thumbs up for you, Tom!"

Even if there is a problem with the system and the merit points cannot be seen to increase, there is no doubt that Tom's decision will bring Li Weide a huge amount of merit points.

Of course, merit points and the like are actually secondary.

Tom's change, even if he learns the black magic one year later, will bring huge changes to the future of the world. This is the most important thing!

"The legacy left by Slytherin..." Tom looked at Levid with hope.

"Let me keep it for you first!" Li Weide said, patting his chest.

"How...how dare you say such things!" Tom was so angry that he laughed.

"Tom! Think about it! Who is Slytherin? Besides his stubborn pure-blood beliefs, isn't he known to the world for his proficiency in the Dark Arts? Do you think his legacy has nothing to do with the Dark Arts? But you just said you wouldn't touch the Dark Arts for the time being. So, his legacy will be kept by your best friend, me, for you. What's the problem?"

Tom's face stiffened. "So... you really have no intention of sharing my ancestor's inheritance..."

"That's right! I'm not that kind of person!" Li Weide said righteously.

"...You're planning to keep it all for yourself!" Tom said the second half of the sentence while gritting his teeth.

"Tom... you're underestimating me." Li Weide smiled and shook his head. "The things he left behind aren't necessarily as valuable to me as you think... Besides, we just got here, and we don't even know if there's any legacy left. What's the point of talking about this now?"

Although the system's performance has been a bit sluggish recently, it can still occasionally produce some very useful magic information.

Let's not talk about anything else, just the "Newbie Gift Pack" that broke my heart at the beginning. That clearance sale book "Complete Solution of Low-Level Spells" for only 50 merit points is already an incredible treasure! Not to mention the Transfiguration tips and potion recipes at the end...

Therefore, in Li Weide's mind, this so-called "Slytherin legacy" is indeed not that important.

Helping Tom keep it safe wasn't really cheating him.

The reason why he took Tom to explore this place tonight was just because of his senior sister's reminder. He wanted to find some words about the blood-cursed orcs in Slytherin's study.

……

Tom still had some faith in Li Weide's last few words.

After all, he had always mistakenly believed that Li Weide had a powerful family behind him...
