Hogwarts: This Dark Lord is so evil.

Chapter 302 Being a Dark Lord also costs money!
After all, the flying brooms of this era were not as fast as those of later generations.

Moreover, although the broom was equipped with an air cushion spell to prevent it from getting scratched, Levid still felt sore in his back after flying for a whole morning.

He just wanted to find a place to rest and then rebuild this damn broom...

Otherwise, he was worried that the old Slytherin guy would collapse before he even arrived.

However, he had already left the British Isles and was flying northeast following Momoran's guidance.

So, now the North Sea is below him... Li Weide can't rest on the sea.

I don’t know how long it took, but just when Li Weide was about to give up and was about to go to Norway or Denmark to find a place to rest, he finally found a small island on the sea.

The island is very small and there is no one on it, which is a good place for Li Weide to rest.

Li Weide landed on the ground, stretched out his body, and immediately his whole body began to make crackling sounds...

"Hiss... I have to pay attention to physical exercise in the future... Now it seems that using a flying broom for long-distance travel is a bit hasty." Li Weide frowned and pressed his waist.

This preparation was too hasty... He should at least go to Knockturn Alley to buy a flying carpet.

Although flying carpets are banned in the UK, they are legal in other countries.

Just fly out of England on a broomstick and then travel on a flying carpet. Although the speed won't be as fast, it will at least be much more comfortable...

"They say flying carpets are Muggle handicrafts, so casting spells on them is illegal... That's hilarious! Don't Muggles have brooms in their homes? You can't cast spells on Muggle handicrafts, but you can on Muggle cleaning tools. How ridiculous... In Muggle homes, which handicrafts are more popular, or brooms? Muggles use brooms for cleaning, while wizards mostly use cleaning spells! Oh... damn... This is nothing more than a monopoly by broom manufacturers..."

Li Weide kept complaining, but his hands did not stop moving.

He quickly set up a temporary tent on a high place and cast some protective magic such as "Safe Guard".

Soon, his tent was hidden.

Even if another wizard passed by, he would not be able to see Li Weide's temporary camp.

Li Weide looked at his watch and it was already twelve o'clock noon.

He took out a set of kitchen utensils and a bag of food from his suitcase and threw them outside the tent, then went back into the tent and started to modify the flying broom.

The kitchen utensils started moving automatically after landing... Soon, the sound of cooking could be heard outside the tent...

Li Weide quickly disassembled the flying broom into a pile of parts in the tent.

Improving broomsticks has never been an easy task, otherwise wizards who sell broomsticks would have started selling faster broomsticks long ago.

Therefore, with Li Weide's current level of alchemy, it is unrealistic to want to improve a flying broom in a short period of time.

However... if you want to squeeze out the potential of a broom and don't care whether it breaks after use, there is still a way!

Anyway, Li Weide brought a lot of brooms, so it wouldn't be a big problem even if one or two were broken...it would just cost a little gold galleons!
After observing for a while, Li Weide understood the basic principles of the flying broom.

"So the principle behind a flying broom is so simple? Then why are they so expensive? Hisss... is this a monopoly? A pure-blood family is definitely controlling this kind of business. No way! When I get back, I'm going to get one too!"

It’s true that Levid is a little short of money now... If you want to be the Dark Lord, that also costs money!

The 20,000 gold Galleons in Gringotts seemed like a lot, but it was something he had saved for a long time.

Besides, if I were to indulge in alchemical research without restraint, it would be gone very quickly...

The materials consumed in alchemy are much more expensive than those in potions!
The biggest reason why Hogwarts does not have an alchemy course is because the materials are precious.

For Potions courses, students can prepare the materials they need for the semester in Diagon Alley, but how do they prepare the materials for alchemy?
Not all students have the wealth of the Malfoy family.

Li Weide only dared to touch upon alchemy after he had made some money from selling potions.

After secretly making up his mind, Li Weide pushed away all distracting thoughts and decisively picked up the carving knife to begin carving ancient runes on the components inside the broom...

After working for several hours, Li Weide carefully assembled the core of the flying broom.

At this point, the core component was already engraved with ancient runes.

Li Weide gently let go of his hand, then took out the Elder Wand and gently tapped the core accessory.

I saw the silver light slowly lighting up on the ancient runes in sequence, just like an electrical circuit.

As all the ancient runes lit up, the core components slowly floated up...

"Great! It worked! And it didn't explode!" Li Weide said happily. "Well... it's good that it didn't explode!"

After hurriedly finishing his lunch which had become a little cold, Li Weide hurriedly packed up his things and continued on his way.

After all, Levid didn't know what danger the old Slytherin guy had encountered and how long he could last.

The modified flying broom was indeed several times faster than before.

It was just that slightly trembling broom handle, constantly emitting a dying cry...

……

The owl "Newborn" flew over the treetops, and finally swooped down and landed in front of Tom's window.

Tom put down his quill and looked at the owl in confusion.

"Gurgle..." The freshman tossed a piece of paper from his mouth in front of Tom.

As Tom picked up the note, he pushed the plate of cookies next to him over.

"Cuckoo..."

While the owl was eating, Tom quickly scanned the note.

"Huh? Why are they here?" Tom stood up with difficulty and took the crutch from the side.

He looked up the long staircase and then at the window.

"never mind……"

The next second, a cloud of mist carried Tom out of the window quickly and then landed outside the woods.

If Tom hadn't been afraid that the Muggle servants at home would discover that he could fly, he would have flown out the door.

Tom put his cane on the ground, then drew his yew wand and tapped it gently.

The crutch quickly deformed, and a slightly rough wheelchair appeared in front of him.

After Tom sat on it, he tapped the wheels with his wand and the wheelchair started moving by itself...

But from a distance, it looked like Tom was shaking it himself.

Tom frowned at the thought of the distance to the door... Sometimes it's not good to have a large estate...

Fortunately, he didn't need to walk slowly to the gate. As soon as he walked out of the grove and came to the main road of the manor, he saw from afar a group of teenagers gathered not far away. They were the core members of the mutual aid society.

When Mr. Riddle learned that these were Tom's classmates when he was young, he knew who they were and quietly removed all the servants.

Therefore, there were no Muggle servants or guards around them.

Seeing this, Tom stopped pretending and knocked the wheels again. The wheelchair accelerated again and ran very fast!

"Hey! Tom is there!" Henry was the first to spot Tom rushing towards them in a wheelchair in the distance.

A group of people came forward to meet them, which saved Tom a lot of effort.

"I didn't expect your family is so rich! This manor is so big!" Alphard couldn't help asking as soon as they met.

"Why are you here?" Tom didn't answer, but asked directly.

"Wade asked us to come! Didn't he tell you?" Henry asked puzzledly.

"No..." Tom sighed, "Since you're here, then follow me... Go to my cabin. Don't stay outside. The servants and guards in my house are all Muggles."

Upon hearing this, a group of teenagers immediately surrounded Tom and started heading towards Tom's cabin.

With this group of people around, Tom no longer has to secretly cast magic on the wheelchair himself.

Grace McLaggen came over and took over pushing Tom's wheelchair.

"Why did Li Weide ask you to come to me?" Tom couldn't help but ask.

"He asked us to gather at your house when we are free, and you can teach us how to practice magic." Flitwick said with a smile.

Now, Tom was shorter than him in his wheelchair, which made him feel oddly happy.

After all, this was the first time he lowered his head to talk to someone!

"I'm already in this state... and he still wants to exploit me?!" Tom closed his eyes in grief and anger.

"Wade said that this is called "those who are capable should do more work." You are the most capable among us, aren't you?" Grace said.

Tom almost laughed out loud. "He's much more capable than me, so why doesn't he do more? Oh... damn it! When he asked you to come to me to practice magic, did he ever consider that you can't use magic outside of school?"

Everyone looked at each other, and finally Charlie Prince said, "Wade said you have a way..."

Tom was stunned for a moment before he sighed, "Okay, I do have a way... but you must never tell anyone!"

He finally understood that these core members would be the basic base for Li Weide to cause trouble in the future.

So, he was planning to let him tell these people how to eliminate the traces, and then make them as strong as possible...

"Where is Weed? Isn't he here?" Annie asked curiously.

Everyone looked at Tom curiously. They all thought that Li Weide was there too, but when they saw Tom pushing his wheelchair out alone, they knew that their beloved captain was gone.

"I don't know where he's gone..." Tom said angrily. "He asked you to come over, but he didn't even give me a letter!"

Everyone quickly entered the woods and came to Tom's cabin.

Tom's cabin wasn't very big, but after all these people came in, it didn't feel cramped at all.

"Alright, everyone, come over here and take out your wands... I'm going to teach you how to remove the trace... But I have to remind you again that this matter must be kept secret, otherwise... the Ministry of Magic will come knocking on your door!"
