The Dark Lord's Guide to Employment at Hogwarts

So, he deliberately set it up a thousand years ago, and then waited for me to move in before letting the Slytherin ghost kill me?

Isn't this ridiculous? He has the ability to attack Slytherins at will, and he can live for thousands of years!

Is it really necessary to go through so much trouble to kill someone like this?

Why not just come over here and kill him? Why bother with all this planning?

Also... since such a person exists, then ancient magic... parallel worlds and so on, are they related to him?

The more I think about it, the more confused I become!

This matter is full of doubts and a lot of unreasonable aspects...

Li Weide felt like his brain was about to explode.

The Slytherin's body sank suddenly, then disappeared through the floor.

"Where are you going?" Li Weide asked.

"Dig the grave!" Slytherin's angry voice came from the first floor.

Li Weide had no choice but to Apparate to the first floor.

Slytherin raised his wand and dug up the floor that had been repaired before!

Li Weide stood aside and said nothing.

He knew very well that at this moment, the angry Slytherin needed to vent.

Only after venting his anger could he calm down and discuss it with himself.

Slytherin's grave-digging skills are much more proficient than Levid's.

Levid dug up the entire floor, while Slytherin dug out a smooth tunnel...

It can be seen that Slytherin must have done this work a lot in the past.

But it is true that this is indeed a basic skill if you want to adventure in various ruins.

"Isn't this passage a bit narrow?" Li Weide asked.

"This is for you to dig. To save time, a smaller one will suffice," Slytherin said as he sank down again and disappeared into the floor.

"No...how did you pass through the wall with your wand?" Li Weide was puzzled.

"It's just a little trick...you still can't get down?" Slytherin's voice came from the passage, sounding muffled.

Li Weide sighed. When he reburied the grave, he was a bit rough.

So, in order to avoid the tragic situation of appearing in the soil when Apparating, Levitra slid down the tunnel that Slytherin had dug for him...

Li Weide quickly reached the bottom, and the wand in his hand emitted a white light, illuminating the surrounding situation.

At this time, Slytherin was using magic to dig up the place where it was originally buried.

After a while, the sarcophagus opened by Li Weide appeared in front of the two.

Li Weide took a closer look. He had actually seen this before. Even though he was looking at it for the second time, Li Weide's conclusion was no different from before.

It doesn't look like there's a dead person lying here... No, it should be said that there's not even a trace of a living person lying here for a long time.

"This is an empty coffin." Slytherin sniffed and said.

At first, Slytherin was still in ghost form and couldn't smell anything. Now, with the blessing of the Obscurus' clothes, Slytherin has the ability to touch things and smell things again.

"There's no smell of death in here!" Slytherin added.

"So, there is no such thing as temporarily teleporting your physical body away?" Li Weide asked.

"Yes... this is a new sarcophagus! But... why did I think my bones were in it?" Slytherin frowned.

Li Weide waved his wand to clear away the dust and remnants of cloth in the sarcophagus. At the bottom of the sarcophagus, more than a dozen strange magic runes suddenly appeared!

The order of these magic runes is very strange, like a... magic circle.

"Do you recognize what kind of magic rune this is?" Li Weide asked.

"No... I've never seen it..." The Slytherin frowned and studied it.

After a long while, he spoke again, "Hiss... These runes seem to have... many key strokes missing! These runes are incomplete!"

Li Weide also took a closer look. Sure enough, there were some faint traces in some places among those magic words, as if someone had altered them...

However, due to the extent of the alteration, these magic runes cannot be restored at all.

Moreover, those magic runes had been destroyed, and just from the strokes, Li Weide could not tell how long these magic runes had existed.

After all, Li Weide had no knowledge of archaeology and cultural relics.

However, Slytherin still has research on this.

"These runes have existed for thousands of years." Slytherin carefully identified the strokes of the runes and muttered.

When Li Weide heard this, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration and had a new idea.

"Is it possible that this sarcophagus isn't for your body, but... for your soul?"

The Slytherin turned around suddenly and looked at Levid.

"Look... if that person separated your body and soul, then your soul would have to be stored somewhere... and this sarcophagus happens to be a new coffin that has never held a corpse before..."

Slytherin nodded slowly. "If my soul has been sleeping in this sarcophagus for many years, and these runes are meant to preserve... no, to seal my soul... then it makes sense. Why do I feel like my bones are here...? Because I've been here for so long, my soul has become accustomed to treating this sarcophagus as my own body..."

Based on the clues obtained so far, this guess is the most reasonable.

Next, Levitra and Slytherin spent some time clearing out the debris in the entire tomb, and then used a repair spell to repair the collapsed area.

After a while, a complete tomb chamber appeared in front of the two again.

Afterwards, the two continued to search the tomb, and soon they found similar magic runes again on the cleaned ground and walls.

"Who on earth... let my soul sleep here forever, and then resurrected me after a thousand years..." Slytherin looked at the tomb with lifeless eyes.

Li Weide has already started to tear down the wall. He wants to see what era the materials used to build this tomb are from.

However, after removing a brick, Li Weide was stunned for a moment, because he felt a familiar magic in this brick...

"Old man... these stone bricks once retained the power of ancient magic... If this tomb was built a thousand years ago..." Li Weide turned his head and said.

Slytherin turned around in surprise. "What did you say? Ancient magic? The power of ancient sages? This... How is this possible?! If it was him..."

"Do you think it was done by the ancient sages of your time?" Li Weide asked with a frown.

Slytherin looked dejected. "If it were him... he could certainly do it, but this is impossible... How could someone like him do such a thing?"

Li Weide also felt complicated.

According to what Slytherin said, the ancient sages were people of his time who possessed ancient magical talents.

And that person also briefly taught the four giants...

Judging from Slytherin's tone at the time, he admired the ancient sage very much. Therefore, when there was evidence pointing to the ancient sage, Slytherin found it incredible.

"Then after I get out, I'll look up the information about this ancient sage... Maybe there will be records in some documents unearthed from ancient ruins." Li Weide frowned.

"What was the sage's name? Was he a man or a woman? Where did you meet him? Where did you learn magic from him?"

Following Levid's series of questions, Slytherin was stunned again.

Li Weide suddenly felt uneasy, "You haven't forgotten everything, have you?!"

"I...did forget..." Slytherin muttered.

"Fuck... How can we play this..." Li Weide rubbed his hair hard, feeling a little overwhelmed.

We just got a little clue, but Slytherin said he forgot?

Could it be that this is also related to parallel worlds? Is that ancient sage, like my senior sister, also inhabiting different worlds in both soul and body?

Otherwise, how could Slytherin forget such crucial information about someone he respected so much?

"No... no." Slytherin turned his head and said calmly, "I know very well that he won't do that!"

Li Weide raised his eyebrows. "Even if you forget his name, forget everything related to him, and only remember that he existed, you still think that this wasn't done by him?"

"Ved, you have no idea how great the ancient sages were... It's only now that their legacy has been cut off that you have such doubts. Otherwise, you wouldn't have any doubts about my thoughts!"

Chapter 277 The Living Slytherin! ?

"Okay, will you try it now?"

In the wizard tower, Li Weide spread out his palm, revealing a ball of black gauze in his palm.

The ball of black gauze slowly floated up, spread out, and flew gently towards the Slytherin in front of it.

The Slytherin didn't dodge, allowing the veil to wrap around him.

After wrapping the black gauze around him, it began to slowly seep into his body.

After a while, the black veil disappeared, and Slytherin's milky white transparent body gradually began to solidify.

Finally, Slytherin breathed a sigh of relief, raised his hand and grasped it. The feeling of nothingness as a ghost had disappeared, replaced by the touch of holding a real object.

"Very good... Much better than before." Slytherin looked at his new "body" with joy.

"That's good... After the modification, the magic power of Mo Moran's clothes has become stronger and the endurance is longer. But remember, after you put this on, you can no longer pass through walls like a ghost." Li Weide warned.

"I see." Slytherin replied.

Two hours have passed since I came out of the tomb.

At that time, after Slytherin and Levid came out, they did not mention the topic of the ancient sages again.

After Obscurus buried the newly dug grave, Slytherin asked to improve Obscurus's clothes.

Li Weide had no objection, so the two of them got together and spent more than an hour to improve it.

Li Weide spent the rest of the time modifying the clothes.

Now, wearing this improved clothing, Slytherin is like having a new body.

However, this body is only superficial. Although Slytherin can use magic, touch objects, and smell, he cannot eat anything...

Li Weide's evaluation is that the current Slytherin is like a painted skin ghost, wearing a fake skin...

After thoroughly experiencing the feel of the clothes, Slytherin turned to Levid and said, "Do you want to go back and rest?"

"I can't sleep now." Li Weide shook his head.

"Since you can't sleep, come with me for a walk." Slytherin said, opening the door of the wizard tower.

This door has rarely been used since Li Weide moved in.

Because every time Li Weide came, he would Apparate...

Levid rubbed his numb neck and followed Slytherin out of the wizard tower.

At the foot of the hill where the wizard tower is located is the dense forbidden forest.

Slytherin walked forward lightly, and soon walked down the hill and into the Forbidden Forest.

Li Weide naturally followed.

The Forbidden Forest was completely silent at night, not even the sound of a raven could be heard.

Li Weide raised his head, looked at the starry sky that was gradually obscured by the treetops, and suddenly asked, "You want to improve this dress... do you want to leave Hogwarts?"

"Did you guess it?" Slytherin asked back.

"Because you are now trying to transform yourself into a human being again...so, I guess you want to leave Hogwarts and investigate this matter yourself." Li Weide said.

"You are as sharp as ever, Wade... Yes, I can't always rely on you for this matter. People like you must have a lot of things of their own to do, so I can only rely on myself... I can only rely on myself. I must find out the truth of this matter." Slytherin's eyes were full of determination.

"Alright, you've pretty much recovered your original abilities now, so go ahead," Li Weide said, waving his hand. "However, a thousand years have passed, and the world outside is completely different from what you were used to..."

"Of course I know this. During this period of time, I have not only been helping you raise chickens. I have also learned a lot about the outside world." Slytherin said.

"Okay...but be careful. There's a war going on outside."

"Muggle weapons can't hurt me, and... my current state is almost the same as being dead. What do I have to be afraid of?"

"Then remember to come back on time and ask me to replenish the magic power of your clothes..."

"it is good……"

After that, the two of them didn't speak anymore, but just walked silently in the dark forbidden forest, thinking about each other.
