Hogwarts: This Dark Lord is so evil.

Chapter 471 Hehehe, you don't want your photos to be seen by the whole world, do you?

"What exactly did you gain?" Miravia asked curiously.

"Want to know?"

"If you want to know, tell me quickly," Miravia said hurriedly.

“…I won’t tell you. Who told you to laugh so happily just now?” Li Weide shook his head and refused outright.

"Why are you so stingy? Fine, fine... I won't say it then. Come here, let me change you into a pretty little dress!" Miravia walked over, rubbing her hands together.

However, when she placed her hand on the button on Li Weide's chest, she couldn't help but be slightly taken aback.

"Huh? Why is it so flat now? It was all puffy just now!"

Miravia turned around and saw that Miss Wade from before had now turned back into Mr. Wade, and even her long hair had turned back into short hair.

Why does your potion have such a short duration of effect?

“Of course I controlled the dosage. I didn’t drink half a bottle like Tom did,” Li Weide laughed.

"Tsk... boring." Miravia let go of her hand in disappointment.

Li Weide stood up, stretched, and then quietly adjusted his testicles.

Now, he felt it again, but unfortunately... Miravia had already donned her armor again.

However, the memories are still there...

"Hey!"

"Wade, your smile is so smug!" Miravia smacked Wade on the head in annoyance. Of course, she knew why he was smiling like that.

"My old body felt so much more comfortable. I really wasn't used to this feeling at all..."

"This is boring, really boring. I was planning to change your clothes and take a picture of you as a souvenir," Miravia said dejectedly.

If she had known Li Weide would turn back so quickly, she wouldn't have talked to him so much; she could have just gone to find a camera and taken a picture of him.

Unfortunately, the effects of the drug have worn off now, and it will probably be very difficult to get Li Weide to do something like that again.

"You could go film Tom. He drank half a bottle, and it'll probably take him at least ten days to two weeks to turn back," Li Weide said gleefully.

“You’re really wicked, you actually poured half a bottle down his throat.” Miravia laughed as well.

"It's all because this kid never learns his lesson. He knows he won't get anything out of me, but he still keeps provoking me. But..." Li Weide stroked his chin, "Do you think if I let this kid act like a little girl for a few months, would his personality improve?"

"It's hard to say. I think he might hate you to death."

"You're wrong, Miravia."

"Where did I go wrong?"

“You should say ‘she’ instead of ‘he’. And…” Li Weide took out an alchemical camera, “This one has great resolution, and I even added a color function… Use this to take pictures! If this kid ever dares to rebel against the Heavenly Gang again, I’ll scatter her beautiful photos all over the world.”

"Hahaha, you're really bad!"

……

“I have fully recovered and am now going out to find other Blood Ancestors… While I am searching for other Blood Ancestors, everyone must remain silent. If I find anyone who disobeys my orders, I will tear them apart alive!”

In the cold, dark underground space, a majestic voice echoed back and forth.

No one dared to utter a sound. After a long while, a red figure flew directly upwards from the bottom and disappeared into the underground space in the blink of an eye...

Under the warm sunlight, the red shadow stopped on the surface of an inconspicuous island. The red shadow disappeared, revealing an old man with a face full of wrinkles.

He squinted at the sunlight in the sky.

"Tsk... What an annoying light... Even if those Blood Ancestors are dead, I still have to get their Blood Hearts back..."

The heart of each vampire progenitor is extremely important to vampires.

Even if the Blood Ancestor dies, as long as the Blood Heart remains, a new Blood Ancestor can be created using the Blood Heart...

Therefore, even if those blood ancestors who had lost contact died in their slumber, he still had to get the things back!

The next second, the figure disappeared into the wind.

……

Wow, this camera takes such great pictures!

"Great, great...two more, please!"

"Crack, click, click!"

Inside Miravia's house, a little girl in a pretty dress was letting several women pose for photos with a deathly pale face.

As soon as Li Weide entered the room, he witnessed this horrific scene.

"If you really want to laugh, you don't have to hold it in."

As Tom spoke, two lines of clear tears slowly rolled down his cheeks.

"Hiss... I was going to laugh, but now I suddenly can't laugh anymore," Li Weide said, his heart pounding.

"Can you turn me back? I... I'm not clean anymore..." Tom said sadly.

"So... have you given up?"

"Impressed……"

"Do you dare next time?"

"I won't do it again... I've been honest, please let me go..." Tom obediently huddled in the corner, looking completely honest.

"Hmm... I was originally planning to let you continue like this for another ten days or half a month, but seeing that you've shown a good attitude in admitting your mistake..." Li Weide tossed a bottle over. "Here, take this. Remember your lesson, you know, I have your complete set of photos..."

Upon hearing the word "photo album," Tom turned pale and trembled all over. "I'll never do it again..."

Tom took the bottle and vanished in a flash.

To speed up his escape, he even used a flight spell to fly close to the ground...

"Huh? He turned back like that? I still have several creative themed photoshoots to do," Miravia said regretfully.

"You're a devil!" Li Weide exclaimed in shock.

"Hey, it's you who made him like that, but you, you're the devil!"

“Since you still have a few creative ideas to shoot, don’t waste them, I’ll shoot them for you.” Li Weide took the camera.

“I don’t like having my picture taken.”

"Are you kidding me? You took photos of Tom for three whole days straight, and now you're telling me you don't like taking pictures?!"

Miravia said, arms crossed, "I only like taking pictures of others, I don't like being photographed!"

Li Weide picked up a stack of photos from the table next to him and glanced at them.

"Ouch... That's terrible... Poor Tom..."

Then Li Weide put all those photos away.

If we catch Tom red-handed, we won't be afraid of him causing trouble again.

……

During the last part of his vacation, Li Weide visited Nicolas Flamel again and stayed at Flamel's estate for several days.

However, his trip was merely to make his presence known; as for the Moving Castle, Li Weide did not intend to reveal it to Nicolas Flamel at this time.

This trump card should be saved for last... Only when it has gained enough exposure should it be used to achieve the best effect.

Anyway, Dumbledore will keep it a secret for me.

After saying goodbye to Nicolas Lemaître, Li Weide visited Zhang San again.

Furthermore, they learned from Zhang San the methods used by Eastern cultivators to refine their "spiritual roots"...

This method is extremely dangerous; aside from those nearing the end of their lives, almost no one dares to do it. Zhang San said that these old men would risk everything just to survive…

They would draw down lightning during thunderstorms and then use the power of thunder to refine their spiritual roots.

The journey was extremely dangerous... Many people were killed, and very few succeeded.

But if it succeeds, the spiritual root will become stronger, which will extend lifespan and even make the body younger...

Many people who are unaware of the situation will assume that they are undergoing a tribulation of lightning.

Li Weide gleaned two crucial pieces of information from this method.

First, there may be something in natural lightning that is similar to ancient magic, which can widen the "small hole" where the spiritual root is located.

Secondly, the widening of the "small hole" can actually extend lifespan! This means the power flowing within the small hole might be more than just soul power…

The new information thrilled Li Weide. He knew ancient magic, so he didn't need to risk summoning lightning. If he wanted to conduct experiments, it would be much simpler for him than for those great Eastern monks...

Before parting, Li Weide gave Zhang San's younger brother, Zhang Qiming, a gift.

That was a power of the soul... extracted from a stigmata.

After Zhang Qiming absorbed that soul power, he miraculously mastered English!
This is knowledge from the Ravenclaw crown, and currently, very few people in the wizarding world possess this technology.

Li Weide's use of this technique to repay Zhang San's family for the Taoist magic he received can only be described as very appropriate.

This made Zhang San's family extremely grateful to Li Weide.

Not long after, Zhang San brought Li Weide a magical artifact and a book about talismans...

It is said that this was something he took with him when he left his family, but the book was not the original, but a version translated by Zhang San.

……

"Talismans..."

On September 1st, on the train to Hogwarts, Li Wade flipped through the book of talismans, his eyes shining.

Eastern talismans are very similar to the ancient runes used by Western wizards.

However, ancient Western script, such as Nehemiah, could not store all the magic power on a small piece of yellow paper through cinnabar, like talismans.

However, this still provided Li Weide with a completely new perspective...

What interesting effects will a talisman combining Eastern and Western elements produce?
"Wade, what's wrong with Tom?"

Li Weide looked up and saw that the person who asked the question was Grace McClagan, Tom's little fan.

He turned and glanced at Tom, who was sitting silently in the corner. "He's fine."

“But… he seems a little unhappy,” Grace said.

“Oh…boys, they all have their period a few days a month,” Li Weide said with a smile.

Grace was slightly taken aback. "Huh? Boys do that too? I feel like you've got it backwards?"

“That’s right. Boys at this age sometimes experience feelings of confusion, like wondering what they should do in the future. Don’t worry, Tom is very strong, he’ll be fine in a few days,” Li Weide said.

Tom was severely punished by Li Weide, and it hasn't been many days yet. It would be strange if he could recover.

"Is...is that how it is?"

Li Weide's words seemed to make some sense, but Grace still felt that something was off.

“Grace, you seem quite concerned about Tom,” Li Weide said with a smile.

Grace blushed. "I...I care about every single one of my classmates like this..."

Li Weide didn't expose the girl's feelings. "Tom's background is very tragic. If he hadn't met me, tsk tsk, you can't even imagine how gloomy he would be... But it's not enough for just me, his friend, to care about him. You understand what I mean?"

Grace blushed. She understood Li Weide's implication. At the same time, she felt a pang of pity for the boy who looked so "beautiful, strong, and tragic."

The carriage door was suddenly pulled open, and the three Tom and Talking Tom characters rushed in carrying a huge pile of snacks, scattering them all over the table.

Jerry stood on the table, pointed at the snacks on the table, and then pointed at everyone.

"Little one, do you want to share your snacks with us?" Annie asked curiously.

Jerry nodded repeatedly, then handed Annie a chocolate frog.

As the three animal wizards distributed snacks to everyone, everyone in the carriage looked at Li Weide with awe.

Even his pets could become wizards... Throughout history, there has never been anyone else like him except for Li Weide.

Moreover, all those who follow him can make rapid progress in strength in a short period of time... How could these people not be completely convinced by Li Weide?

Hagrid was the biggest fan of the three boys. When they first met, he gave them three big bags of homemade cookies...

However... even Spike, who has the best teeth, almost broke one.

They initially thought it was Hagrid playing a prank on them.

However, when they saw Hagrid crunching and chewing the hard biscuit, they couldn't help but feel a deep respect for this tall human wizard...

"Which college do you want to go to?" Hagrid asked the three little ones in front of him while eating the cookies he had made.

The three little ones all shook their heads. They didn't really have any concept of an academy; they only knew that they could go to that big castle to study.

"Why don't you all come with me to Gryffindor?" Hagrid said in a simple and honest manner.

The three children looked at Li Weide cautiously together.

“Each of the four academies has its own characteristics. You can go wherever you want. I won’t interfere with your freedom,” Li Weide said with a smile.

Hearing Li Weide's words, the three little ones immediately cheered up again.

Li Weide watched with a smile as the three little ones playfully teased Hagrid.

If these three guys all went to Gryffindor... I hope Gryffindor really does have a lot of points...

……

Godric's Hollow.

A brand new high-rise building has appeared in the center of the town, decorated in a very grand style.

A line of gilded letters was pasted on the exterior wall of the high-rise building: "Hydra Corporation".

Although it's called a high-rise building, it's actually only seven stories high.

There's no other way; to avoid being too ostentatious, seven layers is the limit. Any higher and it would be difficult to conceal.

At this moment, in the lobby on the first floor of the company, Andrews was directing the little elves to arrange some decorations.

A young and beautiful witch was standing at the front desk, with a sweet smile on her face.

Suddenly, a young man and a young woman walked into the company.

They looked around the lobby with curiosity before walking to the front desk.

"Hello, how can I help you?" the beautiful receptionist asked with a smile.

"Um... hello..." The young man seemed a little nervous when asked by the beautiful woman.

"Hey!"

The young witch next to him glared at the man, then pinched him hard.

"Ahem... I'm here for an interview. I heard your company... um... I think it's called the technical department, yes, the technical department is hiring... I sent you a job application before," the young man said.

"Okay, did you all come for the interview together?"

"Yes."

"May I ask your names...?"

“Fremont…Fremont Porter. This is my wife, Euphemia Porter.”
