Hogwarts: This Dark Lord is so evil.

Chapter 296 Grindelwald: Just protect your precious child! You will suffer in the future!

Tom was indeed very nervous now, but not as unbearable as Grindelwald described.

He had also read the reference books that Li Weide deliberately revealed.

Therefore, he had already made sufficient preparations for the monsters in the level.

At this time, Tom had changed into sportswear and was standing at the entrance of the level, stretching his muscles and doing the final warm-up.

He looked at the tent in front of him with a determined gaze...

"Carlos Pierre! Challenge failed!"

Suddenly, a member of the Wuzhu Party nearby shouted loudly.

Not long after, a young wizard covered in black was carried out by several witches...

"The poor guy stepped on an exploding snail on the way..." a witch party member said in a deep voice.

"Exploding snail? What kind of creature is that?" asked a healer from St. Mungo's, looking confused.

"Hmm... I've never seen a creature like this before... Anyway, just treat it according to the Magical Creature Injury Department's standards."

"Ah, this... is it so perfunctory?" The therapist was a little confused.

At this time, Levitra, Dumbledore and others also came over and saw this scene.

Li Weide couldn't help but touch his nose awkwardly...

This species, which will only be bred by Hagrid in the future... was of course created by Levid.

Moreover, after being improved by him, this exploding snail became much more docile and less active, and looked more harmless to humans and animals.

Of course... provided you don't step on them, and no one uses them as mines...

"Haha, you have a good character..." Grindelwald laughed.

"Isn't this the level you requested? Wouldn't you refuse to accept it if it's not up to this standard? How can you blame Wade?" Dumbledore spoke angrily for his disciple.

Grindelwald snorted coldly and turned away. "Just protect your precious baby. You'll suffer in the future!"
"Ahem, just apply some Dizhen externally on him. No need for healing potions." At this time, Levid had already run over to give advice to the healer at St. Mungo's.

Dumbledore looked relieved again when he saw this.

Grindelwald was numb and too lazy to say anything. He wouldn't listen anyway!

"Tom, how are your preparations?" After giving his suggestions, Li Weide happily began to harass Tom.

"Not bad..." Tom stopped warming up and started cleaning his wand.

"Are you confident?" Li Weide asked.

"Can I live without it?" Tom said expressionlessly.

"Well... you'd better have one, unless you want to be like him." Li Weide pointed to the "little black man" next to him.

"So I have no choice...Okay, go away and don't disturb me while I'm getting ready." Tom waved his hand to let Li Weide leave.

Li Weide immediately turned around and ran to the side, pulled a bench and sat down.

When he looked up, he saw Grindelwald looking at him with a smile on his face, as if saying, can you make another one for me?

"Well, I know Tom has some resentment towards me, but... I am doing this for his own good. Although his current combat ability is excellent, he has reached a bottleneck. He needs some external stimulation to make progress." Li Weide sighed.

Grindelwald couldn't help but look at Dumbledore again.

as predicted……

Dumbledore is nodding too!

"That's true. These days, when I was training Tom, I noticed that his fighting skills had become somewhat rigid. Some bad habits are hard to break... Perhaps, only when faced with a crisis can he change..."

"Right! Professor, you still understand me! It's better to bleed a little during training than to lose your life on the battlefield!" Li Weide said, patting his thigh.

Grindelwald: ...

"Tom Riddle!"

Someone was calling Tom's name at the entrance of the level.

Apparently, it was finally his turn.

Tom took a deep breath, took out a bottle of potion and drank it all in one gulp, then raised his wand and strode in.

"The Agility Potion is a new potion developed by Professor Slughorn and I. It can make a person's reaction ability twice as fast." Levid said with a smile.

"You have such good stuff?" Grindelwald asked in surprise.

"Of course!" Li Weide smiled.

"Then...how many gold Galleons per bottle? Can you sell it to me?" Grindelwald asked.

Dumbledore noticed it and asked warily, "Grindelwald...what do you want to do?"

"This potion can become a very important strategic material! Dumbledore...you know what I want to use it for." Grindelwald said coldly.

"Who are you guarding against? We can't easily go to war with Muggles again!" Dumbledore said coldly.

Grindelwald sneered, "I'm not starting a war, just taking some precautions... Why are you so nervous? Besides, with this potion, the casualty rate for Aurors on missions won't be so high. You didn't even think of that? I'm doing this for the Ministry of Magic, for the wizarding world!" Dumbledore was speechless. For Aurors, who were highly dangerous field personnel, this potion was indeed extremely useful!
But...he was indeed worried about Grindelwald.

Grindelwald shook his head helplessly. "I'm asking for a potion for the wizarding world, and you're worried I'm going to cause trouble? This bastard said it was for the good of the wizarding world, for the good of his friends, and you believed him? It's really frustrating!"
"If you have any purchasing needs, you can discuss it with my teacher, Professor Slughorn. I'm not very good at these matters." Levid spoke up to break the awkward atmosphere in the air.

"Okay, I'll go talk to your teacher later..." Grindelwald nodded, "If you have anything that can be of benefit to the wizarding world, you can share it as soon as possible."

"I'm also striving for perfection. For example, this agility potion is only effective for one hour, and the increase in effectiveness is only twice. I think we can go even further." Li Weide pondered.

It was obvious that he was serious, which made Grindelwald secretly frightened.

I have to say, this kid is really capable, and... his personality... is exactly like someone of my generation!
Grindelwald also didn't understand why the old fool Dumbledore was kept in the dark by this kid!
However, on second thought, Levitra was able to coax Dumbledore and make him believe in himself, which was also an incredible skill...

At this time, Tom had disappeared at the entrance of the checkpoint.

"What a pity! It would be nice if we could see the scene inside." Grindelwald said with some regret.

To be honest, he was also a little curious about Tom's current strength.

After all, even Dumbledore had given him special training, and all the second-year students had come to participate in the seventh-year level.

Even if his talent is not as good as Li Weide's, it must be much stronger than others.

"Yes... there is a way!" Li Weide said, taking out a mirror from his pocket.

"Two-way mirror? How can you see clearly with this thing?" Grindelwald looked at the small mirror with some difficulty.

"Of course you can see it clearly." Li Weide said, and waved his wand lightly. The small two-sided mirror instantly became larger and fell to the ground like a huge floor mirror.

At this moment, the perspective in the mirror was above Tom's head... following Tom's figure as he walked forward in the long corridor.

"Who has the other two-way mirror?" Grindelwald asked.

"I've already placed a flying puppet inside... Originally, it was to help those outside better observe the challengers, in case they couldn't rescue them in time. However... two-way mirrors are too rare, and I only found this pair, so this design has been scrapped. But anyway, the flying puppet is already made, and it's just right for placing it in the seventh grade level..."

As he was speaking, Tom in the mirror encountered the first wave of enemies.

There were five knight puppets holding long swords. These five knight puppets moved as fast as the wind and their swords flashed as fast as lightning.

Of course, this didn't pose any problem for Tom.

After just one encounter, these five knight puppets all fell apart...

After all, even the knight puppets left by Slytherin were defeated by him, so how could these defective products possibly stump him?

And a gleam of brilliance appeared in Grindelwald's eyes.

Tom has such fighting ability at his age, he deserves the title of genius!

It is somewhat difficult to win over Levid, but there is still a chance to win over Tom... The scene when Levid and Tom met just now told Grindelwald one thing, that is, Tom seemed to still be full of resentment towards Levid... There is a chance!

At this time, Tom walked around the wreckage of the knight puppet and continued to walk deeper.

Tom was very cautious. When passing a muddy ground, he cast a freezing spell without hesitation, turning the ground into a thick layer of ice!

In this way, the explosive snail mine below instantly lost its effect.

Tom walked over the exploding snail calmly, more elegantly than many senior students.

Then, Tom successfully saw through the ambush of a group of red hats, and then dodged the attacks of a large number of mutant fang geraniums that could shoot fangs...

After successfully passing through a passage covered with devil's snares using fluorescent flashes, Tom finally encountered his first powerful enemy...

It was actually a giant monster! And it was a fully armed armored giant monster!
Tom looked at the giant monster who was barely wearing armor and holding a mace, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

It was supposed to be just an ordinary giant monster? Why the hell is it wearing equipment?!

However, when the time came, there was no turning back for Tom.

Because the armored giant was already rushing over, waving a cold metal mace!
Tom had no choice but to purse his lips and attack the troll!

The armor, made of goblin metal, perfectly resisted all of Tom's spells.

This put Tom in a difficult situation for a while...

When Tom's spell was deflected by the armor and he was almost hit by it, Li Weide couldn't help but frown and said, "Tom... use your brain! Don't just fight it head-on!"

Grindelwald couldn't help but glance at Levid. "If it were you, how would you fight?"

"Me? I will just use the Cutting Curse to cut the troll's throat..." said Levid.

"Obviously, under such pressure, your friend doesn't have such accuracy," Grindelwald smiled. "I'm asking, if you only had Tom's strength, how would you fight?"

"If I were him, when I saw that armor, I would know that those attack spells were futile... Therefore, I would not waste my energy using other spells, but directly use the Fire Spell." Li Weide said calmly.

"Fire curse? Why?" Grindelwald asked with interest.

Li Weide said, "Although the fairy metal armor has high magic defense,...it also has high thermal conductivity...under the baking of the fierce fire, it will soon be burned by the armor and cannot bear it..."

"Hmm... indeed..." Grindelwald had to admit that Tom was indeed not as good as Levid in terms of his ability to respond on the spot...
