The Dark Lord's Guide to Employment at Hogwarts

Li Weide nodded, and then began to think carefully about how to use nightmare magic to split the soul.

By this time, Nagini was already too excited to control herself.

She heard the conversation between the two people. If she could regain her human form...

Even if it requires a huge price, even if the price paid to restore her body is only temporary, she is willing to do so!

……

Riddle Manor.

The flames in the fireplace crackled softly.

Tom sat quietly in a lounge chair in front of the fireplace, staring at the flames in the fireplace in a daze.

It had been two whole days, but the scene of Li Weide killing the basilisk that day kept playing over and over in his mind.

What happened that day had a huge impact on Tom.

Regardless of the terrifying basilisk or the powerful fighting ability of Livid...

Thinking back to the many plots he had made against Li Weide, Tom couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

How dare I do that? To do something to such a terrifying person?

He spent the past two days in fear and shock, and it was not until today that Tom finally recovered a little.

After calming down, his thoughts became clear again.

Since Li Weide only dealt with his little actions with minor punishments and stern warnings.

That proved that Li Weide really needed him. But this need was not a must! He had to recognize this clearly!

In other words, as long as he does not touch Li Weide's bottom line, Li Weide can be a close friend.

However, if he finally lost his mind and stepped on Li Weide's bottom line...

That guy might not be so easy to talk to.

However, on the other hand, since Li Weide is so powerful, this is also a great opportunity for me, who is temporarily regarded as a close friend by the other party!

In fact, this has always been a great opportunity for Tom, but he has always regarded Li Weide as his opponent, so he didn't take it seriously.

But now, Tom finally woke up!

Moreover, the more he thought about it, the brighter Tom's eyes became.

With people like Dumbledore and Levid teaching me, if I can't take off again, I might as well hang myself!

Work hard, even if you still can't catch up with Li Weide in the end, you can still become the strongest person under Li Weide!

After thinking it through, Tom recovered from his depression.

From today on...stay safe and develop, don't waste time!

Then Tom grabbed his wand and ran out of the warm room.

Standing in the snow, Tom's mind flashed through the magic that Li Weide had used that day.

Then he also imitated Levid's movements, and suddenly swung his wand from bottom to top!

This is how Levid created a thick ice wall to resist the basilisk's attack.

"Sa!"

The wand made a slight sound of breaking through the air, but nothing happened except that the snow in front of him was blown away by the wind.

Tom stroked his chin and pondered, "How did he do it? Was it a freezing spell? But the freezing spell isn't that powerful... Is it because the magic power is too strong that the freezing spell is so strong? That's not right... Did he come up with some new spell?"

"I can tell you very clearly that there is no new spell." A familiar voice came from the woods.

Tom turned around and saw Li Weide walking in with a happy face.

"Then how did you do it?" Tom asked directly.

"Have you forgotten what I told you before? Magic is subjective. Why must we be so rigidly bound by certain spells? Spells are merely for convenience. When it comes to actual combat, attacking at will is the fastest and most difficult to defend against."

Li Weide said this while waving his wand casually.

A thick ice wall suddenly rose from the ground, and then the ice wall began to deform violently. Finally, a fully armed frost knight appeared in front of Tom.

The knight waved the ice sword in his hand, urged the ice horse under his crotch, and suddenly launched a charge forward!

"bump!"

The wooden target in front was suddenly cut in half by a sword!

Levid waved his wand again, and the frost knight instantly dissipated into drifting snow all over the sky, fluttering down on the snow.

If it weren't for the smooth cut marks and the horseshoe prints on the ground, Tom wouldn't have believed what he had just seen was real!

"Do you see what kind of curse I have?" Li Weide asked.

Tom shook his head dumbly.

"Actually, it's just some imagination and some transfiguration," said Li Weide.

Tom's eyes widened, and he kept muttering what Li Weide had just said, "...magic is idealistic...imagination..."

Suddenly, Tom raised his head and waved his wand at the half-remaining wooden target in front of him.

"Crack! Click!"

Suddenly, a large patch of ice spikes rose from the ground! They instantly spread to the bottom of the wooden target, piercing it like a hedgehog!

Li Weide began to clap his hands. "Very good magic! So, let me ask you, what is the spell of your magic?"

"No spell," Tom replied, repeating Levid's words. "Just some imagination and some Transfiguration."

"It seems that you really understand what I mean!" Li Weide said with a smile.

At the same time, Livid used a whispering spell to the Slytherin ghost hidden in his pocket and said, "Look, this is one of your descendants. He has half Muggle blood in his body, but you see, is his talent really as bad as you think?"

At this moment, Slytherin looked at Tom in front of him silently with very complicated feelings.

Just by listening to a few words from Li Weide, I understood the essence of magic... Is this talent poor?

To be frank, even if it were more than a thousand years ago, Slytherin had never seen a student with such great talent!

Even the student named Barrow, whom he had high hopes for at the beginning, was far less talented than Tom!

Of course, this does not include people like Li Weide who possess the abilities of ancient sages.

Chapter 240 An old person in the family is like a treasure!

"Hmph...his aptitude is just average. Barely comparable to my worst disciple!" Slytherin snorted coldly.

Li Weide was speechless. This tsundereness must have been inherited from his ancestors, right?

"What's that noise?" Tom asked warily. "Was someone talking just now?"

"No, it's just a mosquito buzzing." Li Weide said casually.

The Slytherin in the pocket was so angry that he almost died again after hearing this.

But he couldn't curse out loud, because when leaving the wizard tower, Slytherin himself said that he didn't want others to know of his existence, and only wanted to hide in the dark and observe silently.

Because if others knew of my existence, it would be too troublesome, and... too embarrassing.

As one of the four giants, he actually became a ghost!

This is indeed very difficult for Slytherin to accept...

Tom shut his mouth and said, "It's freezing and snowy...you told me there are mosquitoes?"

However, Tom was used to it and knew that if Li Weide didn't want to talk, it would be useless to ask.

Instead of meddling in Li Weide's affairs, it is better to continue to hone your own strength.

"I see you're in a good mood. Have you packed up all the basilisk materials?" Tom asked.

"Well... we're done!" Li Weide said happily, "Can we go inside and talk? It's too cold outside... Actually, I have good news for you today."

Tom turned and opened the door, and Li Weide followed him in.

The room with a fireplace is indeed warmer than the outside.

Li Weide saw the flames burning in the fireplace at a glance.

"Tom, that's great! You've mastered the Gubli Fire so quickly!"

"It's okay...it's easier than the Patronus Charm." Tom said, looking up.

Although he tried hard to appear calm, the corners of his mouth kept rising, which was harder to suppress than AK...

This is the Gublerite fairy fire! Tom must be proud of learning it at this age!

At this time, the Slytherin in the pocket fell silent again. At this age, he could even learn the Gublerite fairy fire?

It is obvious that Tom's talent is almost the same as when he was young!

Wait... Slytherin suddenly felt something was wrong, the Patronus Charm?

This kid has learned the Patronus Charm! ?

This……

However, Slytherin quickly remembered some of the things Levid had said about Tom before.

At that time, Li Weide also focused on how Tom grew from a troubled teenager who pursued black magic to a qualified reserve White Lord.

At this moment, Slytherin couldn't help but feel a surge of anger in his heart.

What a promising young talent! It would be a shame if he didn't study the dark arts! Damn you, Li Weide! You're misleading my descendants!

Tom looked at Li Weide and suddenly seemed to be hesitant to speak.

Li Weide understood and patted his shoulder, saying, "Don't worry, the basilisk was left by your ancestors after all. How can you be missing out on your share?"

"That's good." Tom also smiled. "But I don't need materials or Galleons. If you get any magic or new potions from the basilisk, just give me some."

"Of course." Li Weide agreed readily.

Originally, Slytherin was very annoyed when he heard Tom asking Levid for a favor.

After all, that was the basilisk he had raised himself, and this guy sold it! He didn't even get any commission! What a loser!

However, the Slytherin felt a little comforted when he heard Tom asking for things like spells and potions.

The fact that he clearly knows what he lacks and what he needs proves that this kid is not the kind of reckless man who only has strength but no brains.

Obviously, he also has a clear plan for his future development, which is good.

"To be honest, I am indeed studying the basilisk's eyes. If I can restore the curse of the basilisk's eyes..." A hint of joy flashed across Li Weide's face.

Tom felt a chill in his heart when he heard this.

"...then maybe the three Unforgivable Curses will become four..."

"But I broke that eye, so maybe I can only restore a pretty good petrification spell." Li Weide waved his hand.

"That's good... the effect will definitely be better than the ordinary petrification spell, right?" Tom sat back in his chair.

"That's for sure. After all, this is a petrification curse derived from a fatal curse, and it's not as simple as an ordinary petrification spell." Li Weide also found a chair, pulled it over, placed it in front of the fireplace, and sat down. "But I didn't come here today to talk about this."

"What's the good news?" asked Tom.

Li Weide took out a glass insulated box from his pocket.

In the incubator, Nagini was coiled up.

Such cold weather is not very friendly to snakes.

Levid opened the lid of the box and Nagini slowly crawled out.

"About Nagini's curse?" Tom asked.

"Yes... Come to think of it, I was indeed too much of a perfectionist at the time. In fact... we already had a way to turn her back into a human!" Li Weide said.

"What?" Tom straightened up in his chair. "You said you could turn her back into a human?"

"It's not a perfect method. However, while it won't cure her curse, if successful, it will allow her to temporarily escape from her snake form."

Then, Levitra told Tom the results of his previous discussion with Slytherin.

After listening to this, Tom nodded thoughtfully.
