The Dark Lord's Guide to Employment at Hogwarts

This long corridor actually came to an end!

"bump!"

Tom, who had no way to retreat, saw his last armor spell shattered again!

The two statues raised their weapons again!

next second...

"Buzz!"

The sharp blade of the halberd and the sharp blade of the two-handed sword both stopped one centimeter away from the tip of Tom's nose!

Tom looked at the sharp blade right in front of him, and even though it was winter, he still broke out in a cold sweat.

Sweat dripped directly from the tip of his nose...

Just a little bit more...he would have lost his nose!

Several vines descended from the ceiling, tightly binding the weapons of the two statues and preventing them from advancing an inch!

Tom took the opportunity to roll to the side!

Then the vines were pulled apart, and they turned back into a few broken lanterns...

It turned out that at the critical moment, Tom turned the lanterns above into vines, temporarily stopping the weapons from falling further.

However, the crisis is not over yet!

Tom glanced at the countless stone fragments beside him. Those should be fragments of statues smashed by people who had passed the level before.

But now, it comes in handy!

Tom barely hesitated before waving his wand.

In this critical situation, Tom's transformation skills were used beyond his normal level. Countless pieces of rubble turned directly into countless vines, which wrapped around the two statues one by one!

One was torn off, and there was a second one...

Finally, the two statues were entangled by countless vines and then tripped to the ground!

As the two statues struggled on the ground, Tom raised his wand.

"Thunderbolt explosion!"

"boom!"

After the explosion, the heads of the two statues that fell side by side were blown off by the explosive spell!

As their heads were blown to pieces, the two statues that were struggling frantically finally lost power!

However, Tom was so shocked at this time that he had no intention of stopping!

He kept waving his wand, and a series of explosions landed heavily on the two statues.

"Die! Die!"

Tom was so angry that he didn't even notice that he hadn't even spoken the spell when he used the explosion spell...

Levid put away his wand and wiped the sweat from his hands on his robe.

All I can say is, Tom Riddle is truly worthy of his name. After unleashing his potential, he possesses such formidable power...

What a gift!

Li Weide floated down and grabbed Tom's shoulders.

"Okay, Tom, now, calm down..."

"You die too!" Tom cast an explosive curse.

However, the enraged Tom only felt his hand lighten, and then his yew wand somehow ended up in Levid's hand...

And naturally, the explosive spell was not released.

After the wand left his hand, Tom finally calmed down.

Then he collapsed to the ground exhausted.

However, although Tom collapsed to the ground, his eyes still sparkled with excitement when he saw the two statues that were blown to pieces!

"I... I did it! Wade! Did you see that? I really did it just now! I killed them! These two disgusting pieces of mud!" Tom said excitedly.

"Of course, I did see it, and..." Levid pressed the wand back into Tom's hand, "You didn't use any traditional dark magic just now, did you? Well... except for the Exploding Spell in this case."

Hearing this, Tom became even more excited. "I was just thinking about how Dumbledore would fight, and then... then I remembered his Transfiguration spell! And then... I actually did it! It's unbelievable!"

Tom spoke excitedly while recalling his amazing performance!

So cool!

However, when he thought about it, the smile on Tom's face suddenly stopped...

It seemed like...it seemed like he just...attacked Li Weide?

Or just raise your hand and cast a fatal explosive spell?

Tom suddenly felt devastated...

Spicy! Li Weide is famous for being stingy!

In fact, not long after Tom met Li Weide, he had attacked Li Weide more than once for various reasons.

And every time, Li Wei De would pull out his wand with a grim smile and say something like this... "So, you want to have a fair duel with me?"

Every time he said this, he would be beaten badly...

And now...

"You fought brilliantly this time, Tom. I actually saw some of Professor Dumbledore's style in you!" Li Weide said happily, "So, I won't bother with you about your sneak attack just now."

"That's okay..." Tom breathed a sigh of relief, but... he suddenly felt something was wrong.

If you don't bother me "now"? Doesn't that mean you'll still bother me in the future?

"Or, why don't you just beat me up right here... I'm so scared if you're still holding back!"

Chapter 213: Don’t ask about high-end magic, you little brat!

"How can you always misunderstand me like this? I'm not a violent person, why should I hit you?" Li Weide said dissatisfiedly.

Tom suppressed his anxiety and said loudly: "You better not!"

Li Wei De took out a large piece of chocolate and stuffed it into Tom's hand. "You should recover first, and then we will continue exploring! I have to say... this Slytherin legacy has completely piqued my interest!"

While Tom was silently munching on chocolate to recover, Levid squatted aside and studied the two knight statues on the ground.

Such a combat puppet can be considered a high-end product!

At least, those combat puppets disguised as stone sculptures outside Hogwarts are not as powerful as these.

And stone sculptures like this...if the descendants of Slytherin hadn't broken into this place throughout the ages and consumed a lot of these stone sculptures, who knows how many would have appeared just now!

However, this also shows how high the combat skills of the former students were.

Tom had to fight to the death to take down two statues, but his former students may have to face far more than two statues!

"What a pity... If you hadn't blown these two knight statues into pieces just now, I might have learned something from them..." Li Weide said with some regret.

"What can I do? If I don't blow this thing up, what if it's not dead yet and suddenly jumps up and stabs me? It's not a human being. It won't die unless its head is blown off..." Tom said weakly. "By the way, do you have any water... This chocolate is getting on my throat..."

"Tom, you are a wizard...you can use the Spring Water Charm. I just praised you for being able to use your brain!" Li Weide said unhappily.

Tom snorted and didn't dare to say anything else, because Li Weide didn't seem to be in a good mood.

Suddenly, Li Weide picked up a small piece of green broken gem from the ground, which had strong traces of magic on it.

After careful feeling, Li Weide discovered that this was the unique magic fluctuation of the two fighting puppets just now.

Moreover, it seems that something is slowly disappearing...

Li Weide quickly explored it using the power of nightmare magic.

What is dissipating is... the power of the soul?

"Um, what's that?" Tom asked, transfiguring the chocolate wrapper into a simple cup.

"This should be the core of this combat puppet... Well, it's a pity that only half of it is left." Li Weide said regretfully.

"You know, this isn't my fault," Tom said helplessly. "How could I possibly hold back if you didn't help?"

"I don't mean to blame you, but... it's still a pity. Even if we don't consider the alchemy process, just talking about the materials, this thing is very precious." Li Weide said with a sigh.

Having urgently learned some alchemy knowledge a few days ago, Li Weide now has some knowledge of alchemical materials. He can tell at a glance that this is a special material synthesized from several extremely precious minerals using alchemical techniques.

"How precious is it?" Tom picked up the cup, took a sip of the water summoned by the Water into the Fountain Charm, and then smacked his lips in disdain... It's tasteless...

"Well, if it were intact, and I sold it to those alchemy masters, the gold Galleons I got would be enough to buy a shop in Diagon Alley."

"What!?" Tom looked at Li Weide in shock. "Is it really that exaggerated?"

Diagon Alley is the place with the densest flow of wizards in the British wizarding world!

It is no exaggeration to say that every inch of land is worth a lot of money!

How many gold galleons would it take to buy a shop in a place like this!

This is buying, not renting!

"Maybe it wasn't so exaggerated in Slytherin's time, but thousands of years have passed, and many materials that were common before have become scarce now. This makes some materials and experiments that were not expensive thousands of years ago become extremely expensive now..." Levid wrapped the broken core in parchment and put it in his pocket.

"There are so many broken statues here! Come and see if there are any intact ones!" Tom struggled to get up from the ground. He stopped drinking water and eating chocolate, and began to dig hard in the pile of debris next to him.

"Tom, why have you become so obsessed with money? I haven't said anything yet." Li Weide said in surprise.

"No...it has nothing to do with money! I'm just...thinking about myself!" Tom's voice was trembling.

This thing is so expensive! And I blew it up! Two of them!

According to his understanding of Li Weide, Li Weide must have regarded these as his trophies!

Li Weide's spoils! Ruined! And it was me who destroyed them! And Li Weide suddenly felt bad...

Damn! The sky is falling!

In order to prevent the revenge from being so severe later, it’s best to quickly find a healthy one to hand over!

Tom felt like crying but couldn't.

"Oh! Tom, it's not that serious... I'm not a devil..." Tom's abnormal behavior made Li Weide guess some of his thoughts.

It's over! Tom has developed PTSD from his own actions!

This made Li Weide's remaining conscience ache slightly.

Alas, it turns out that I still cannot have a conscience... Without a conscience, I naturally won’t feel pain.

"Ha! Found it!" Tom's surprised voice interrupted Li Weide's thoughts, and he put a complete core in front of Li Weide!

The descendants of Slytherin who had previously passed the level also realized during the battle that they had to smash the heads of these combat puppets in order to kill them.

Therefore, almost all of these puppets had their heads blown off.

Because of this, few complete cores have survived.

And Tom was able to find a complete one at this time. It must be said that even Li Weide was surprised.

"This can be exchanged for a shop in Diagon Alley, right?" Tom asked sincerely.

"If it's rented, it can be rented for a month." Li Weide evaluated seriously.

"Ah? Why? Isn't this complete?" Tom said in surprise.

"Because there's something missing."

"what?"

"A mature and complete soul." Li Weide said calmly.

"Wha...what?" Tom looked at Li Weide in shock. "What soul?"

"A human soul... the soul of a powerful Muggle knight! That's why this combat puppet's fighting skills are so comprehensive! Moreover... once the core is exposed, the magic loses its effectiveness, and the soul quickly dissipates. Therefore, a core that could once have bought a shop is now only enough to rent for a month, because it has lost its spiritual power!"

"You mean, Slytherin uses human souls to refine combat puppets?! One soul is one puppet?" Tom's voice trembled as he looked at the wreckage all over the ground.

Li Weide sighed, "What's so strange about this? This... is black magic..."
