Hogwarts: This Dark Lord is so evil.

Chapter 383: Such high-quality labor is being wasted? This is simply a crime!
Levid took some time to go to the "hell" of the house elves with Toby.

Toby didn't dare to go in, so Li Weide had to walk into the alley alone...

Levid didn't expect that the place was actually in a corner of Diagon Alley, separated from Knockturn Alley by only a wall.

Behind this narrow alley is a large open space.

Seven or eight ugly and dirty tents were set up on this open space covered with weeds.

Many house-elves with listless expressions were sitting in the open space, staring blankly at the alley entrance...

When the elves saw someone coming in from the alley, their eyes lit up.

However, when he saw clearly that the person coming was not his master, his eyes dimmed again.

At this time, Li Weide was quietly looking at these depressed house-elves.

They all have one thing in common, that is, they are wearing a complete set of clothes...

But their clothes were already dirty. Obviously, they were the clothes given to them by their owners when they were driven away.

"I want you to work for me. Is there anyone willing?" Li Weide said.

The elves looked up at Livid, then lowered their heads again.

"No one is willing? Do you want to be free like this?" Li Weide asked again.

Perhaps it was the word "freedom" in Li Weide's words that stimulated these elves.

One of them finally responded to Li Weide's question.

"Kind sir, thank you for your kindness, but I'm sorry. Kaz believes that Kaz's master will take me home again... Oh... poor old master, what will she do without Kaz to serve her?"

The same goes for the other house-elves.

Toby was right. Those who were really willing to change their fate would have already found a new wizarding family.

Only these stubborn ones will stay in this place and guard it forever.

"Has any of you ever been taken back by your masters?" Li Weide asked.

Hearing these words, the elves all lowered their heads sadly...

No elf master has ever come to this place...

Only people like Levid who really need a house-elf would try their luck.

However, few elves are willing to leave...

Li Weide looked at these house-elves and felt his heart ache...

Yes... so many strong and young house-elves! And yet they're just sitting around here doing nothing every day, wasting their labor?!
It's simply a crime!

So, when Levid left here, he was followed by twenty-seven fanatical house-elves...

Yes, after confirming that normal communication was not enough to recruit these house-elves, Levid had to use some tricks and modify their cognition, replacing the image of their master in their minds with himself...

Alas, there is no way. Li Weide really can't bear to see this. How can such precious labor force be wasted?

Therefore, Levid decided to "save" all these house-elves from this "hell"!
"This is your future boss, Toby! Meet him."

"Yes... Boss Toby!"

Toby stared in amazement at the group of house-elves in front of him who were bowing to him in unison.

And before he could come to his senses, Li Weide promoted him to the position of big brother...

……

Nagini and Miravia were strolling in Diagon Alley.

These two people have been trapped for many years, so everything they see now seems new to them.

After robbing those goblins and dark wizards, Miravia had no shortage of money.

So they had a lot of fun along the way.

"It's a pity that there is a war in the Muggle world, otherwise it would be nice to go and take a look at the Muggle world." Miravia said with some regret.

There is a war in the Muggle world, and everything outside is in ruins... The beautiful scenery of the past is gone now.

At least until the end of the war, the Ministry of Magic does not recommend that wizards rashly step into the Muggle world.

At this moment, Nagini suddenly said, "Why does that person over there look so much like Vader?"

Miravia turned her head and saw Levid walking in the distance, and behind him, a group of excited house-elves followed...

"That's Li Weide."

"What is he doing?"

Miravia took a look and knew that the elves behind him had their cognition modified by nightmare magic.

She couldn't help laughing. "What else could he do? He probably got a bargain again. Why else would he leave Hogwarts?"

"Then let's go say hello," said Nagini.

"It's too late." Miravia said.

Sure enough, as soon as she finished speaking, Li Weide and the group of elves disappeared into the crowd.

Apparently, they all Apparated away.

"Where did he find so many house-elves?"

"I don't know...but he obviously needs these little guys to help him with his work..."

“Oh…” Nagini was still looking in that direction. “Stop looking. As far as I know, you can’t help Li Weide anytime soon. You’ll have to wait at least a few more years…”

"Is that so?" Nagini was confused for a moment, not knowing what to do next.

"Come with me from now on. Since you call me teacher, I can't just not teach you anything useful. Once you have learned the skills well, you can do a better job for him..." Miravia said.

Since Nagini plans to hang out with Levid in the future, helping her become stronger can be considered as repaying a favor again.

"Okay, thank you teacher!" Nagini said excitedly.

It is always better to have a companion than to be alone, not to mention that Miravia can help her become stronger!

"So where are we going now? Should we find a place to stay?" asked Nagini.

"No... I won't stay in one place for too long." Miravia said, picking up a copy of the Daily Prophet from the newsstand next to her.

She immediately saw the front page of the newspaper, an announcement about the Ministry of Magic recruiting for next year...

Nagini followed Miravia's gaze and also saw the article. "Teacher...you're not planning to work at the Ministry of Magic, are you? Didn't you say you didn't want to stay in one place for too long?"

"Indeed...but...the Department of Mysteries is actually hiring? Perhaps, we can make a small exception for this..." Miravia said with interest, touching her chin.

"Department of Mysteries?" Nagini looked at Miravia with some confusion, wondering why her teacher was so interested in this place.

"When my consciousness was traveling all over Britain before, there were very few places it couldn't enter. Only here..." Miravia said, pointing at the newspaper, "The Department of Mysteries. This place can actually perfectly withstand my consciousness! I'm extremely curious about those rooms in the Department of Mysteries!"

She had originally planned to find an opportunity to visit the Department of Mysteries later, but now it seemed that there was no need to sneak in.

All she had to do was pass the entrance exam to the Department of Mysteries and become a Unspeakable. Then she could naturally explore those doors that had always intrigued her...

"Nagini, what do you think?" Miravia asked excitedly.

"Uh... then... let's give it a try? I've got nothing to do anyway..."

What else could Nagini say? She was so excited...

"Great! The next stop is the Department of Mysteries!" Miravia said with satisfaction.

……

After the house-elves joined, Levid became more and more free.

Toby is indeed very talented in management. Under his management, the new elves have completed Levid's orders very well.

The rune carving work inside the moving castle is also slowly taking shape thanks to the efforts of the elves...

So now Li Weide has a lot of time to devote to community work.

Gradually, Li Weide's reputation among students grew stronger and stronger.

In particular, after each month's actual combat assessment, Li Weide will take the initiative to review the battles encountered in the assessment level with everyone.

Thanks to Li Weide's help, many people who often failed in the actual combat test have achieved good results in the test.

Time passed and soon it was Christmas holiday.

During this vacation, Andre finally passed the ideological assessment set by Levid, joined Hydra, and became the third member of Hydra.

Of course, this was the result of Li Weide's change of mind. Otherwise, he would at least have to wait until Andre's cognition and beliefs changed completely before recruiting him.

But it doesn’t matter now. Although Adre’s cognition has not changed completely, he can at least keep up with Li Weide’s thoughts.

Moreover, as long as Li Weide does not fall, he will be completely loyal, because he is only loyal to Li Weide.

At present, it seems that it is not that easy to bring Li Weide down...

So Li Weide doesn't need to be so cautious at all.

Moreover, Li Weide himself is also slowly trying...

As Dumbledore had said the other day, he needed to try to trust some of his friends...

And Andre, who is currently loyal to him, is the best desensitization target for Li Weide...

To trust others, he has to adapt slowly.

At the same time, Grindelwald's investigation has made new progress.

Based on some unsolved cases that had occurred in the past, he slowly followed the clues and found some clues that belonged to the Purgers.

If nothing unexpected happens, Grindelwald will be able to catch this group of people soon.

After the holiday, life continued to go on peacefully.

Many of Li Weide's research gradually took shape with the help of the goblins.

And the magic runes on the core area of ​​the moving castle he had been dreaming of were gradually being completed.

Moreover, the basilisk breeding farm was finally completed. Levid asked Dumbledore for leave and then went to Africa with Professor Slughorn.

By the way, he also brought over the twenty or so house-elves.

Because there are no better employees than them!

The core area of ​​the moving castle has been basically completed, so it is just right to send these elves to Africa to help raise basilisks.

After all, Li Weide couldn't send Tom to Africa to work for him right now.

At least... we have to wait until he graduates...

　This is a transitional chapter; it's written to push the timeline forward, so it's a bit dry...
