Hogwarts: This Dark Lord is so evil.

Chapter 485 In Britain, you, Li Weide, are the foolish foreigner.
While the other wizards were still observing the ancient tomb using their own methods, Zhang San had already taken out his compass.

He stood on high ground, looking down at the ancient tomb opposite him, his brows furrowing more and more as he looked...

"Hiss... Strange... Really strange... I've never seen such a vicious place before," Zhang San muttered to himself.

"How so?" Li Weide asked.

Zhang San waved his hand, "We'll talk about it later, I need to take a closer look."

As he spoke, Zhang San took out a flying broom, flew into the sky, and continued to survey the terrain of the ancient tomb from various angles.

After a long while, he returned to the mountain and took out his wand to carefully examine the mountain below...

"This is actually an iceberg? This place is too strange... According to its location, it should have been a very good place, backed by this mountain and imbued with dragon energy. But unfortunately, it's surrounded by icebergs! Icebergs have no earth veins... In other words, this tomb is backed by a mountain without veins, making it a place where dragon energy is cut off... A good dragon's lair has instantly become a place where evil energy clashes... This is truly the first time I've ever seen a tomb like this. It's really... This is also the first time I've ever seen someone build a tomb in such a harsh and cold place..."

"Then can you tell who is buried inside?" Liu Tao asked.

Zhang San shook his head and said, "Whatever is buried here, it's definitely not a person... Either they're raising something here, or they're sealing something away... wait..."

Zhang San looked at it carefully again, and after a moment said, "No wonder, this iceberg must have appeared later..."

"So you mean this place was originally sealed off with something, and then that thing inside affected the surrounding terrain?" Li Weide asked.

“Indeed, it’s like frost that forms naturally in a refrigerator… because of the low temperature, frost appears. The chilling aura emanating from this thing is enough to affect the surrounding terrain… which shows how ferocious it is.” Zhang San nodded. “My advice is not to damage this place easily. I’m not sure what strange things will appear if this place is destroyed.”

“I see… Logically speaking, although it’s cold here, it’s not the Arctic, so there shouldn’t be icebergs here that never melt.” Liu Tao said thoughtfully.

Li Weide said, "There are indeed strange things inside..."

Then, Li Wade attributed the Slytherin incident to another unfortunate wizard and told Zhang San about it.

"Hiss... So this is how vampires come about?" Zhang San gasped. "In any case, the thing inside might have already been formed, but it's likely trapped here because of the terrain... I'll say it again, don't destroy this place lightly. Who knows what kind of monster will be released? I never expected this thing would even possess another body..."

Liu Tao nodded and said, "Because we don't know if there are any other wizards besides that one who were possessed by that thing inside, so... the best way is to completely seal this place off! Otherwise, even if we don't destroy this place, those things that escaped might return here and destroy the ancient tomb after they grow stronger, releasing what's inside..."

“Very likely,” Li Weide nodded.

Since it's impossible to go in and explore now, sealing it off for the time being is a good decision.

On the one hand, it can prevent other wizards from accidentally entering, and on the other hand, it can prevent anything that has left here from returning...

At this moment, the teleportation array lit up again, and several figures appeared.

Among them, a witch who looked very elegant walked over quickly after seeing Liu Tao.

"Liu, how is it now?"

"Not very optimistic, Chairman Santos," Liu Tao frowned and shook his head.

Li Weide understood; it seemed that this was the current president of the International Federation of Wizards, Viccia Santos.

“My suggestion is to use all the sealing magic to permanently seal this place, and have people monitor it at all times,” Liu Tao said.

“What exactly happened?” Viktsia asked.

Afterwards, Liu Tao called Zhang San over and asked him to tell Viccia what he had seen again.

After listening, Viccia also thought Liu Tao's decision was good, but she still needed to hear everyone's opinions before making a final decision.

Because there are still many people observing this ancient tomb down below.

Suddenly, a gasp of surprise came from below.

It turned out that a wizard had gotten too close to the door, causing black mist to keep escaping from inside!
The black mist fell to the ground, taking on various shapes...

There were blurry human figures, and blurry animal shapes...

These hazy mists then launched an attack on everyone present!

However, those who have come here now are arguably the most elite group of wizards in the world.

The fog didn't even last five seconds before it was completely annihilated...

As everyone moved to a safe distance, no more fog appeared inside the door!
“I encountered the same situation back then…” Li Weide said, “Don’t be fooled by how fragile these things are now that they’ve come out; they were incredibly powerful inside the ancient tombs.”

"Are you the boy who discovered the ancient tomb?" Viksia asked.

"Yes, it's me..."

"You've been inside?"

“I didn’t go in with my real body. I controlled something like a puppet to go in.” Li Weide didn’t explicitly say it was Momo Ran, after all, that thing had a bad reputation.

Viccia nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

If it were anyone else, Viccia would definitely be suspicious, but as for Levi... he's a technical advisor for Hydra, so it's perfectly normal for him to have some impressive inventions.

“Your exploration has made a great contribution to the wizarding world. After resolving this incident, you will receive the honor you deserve,” Viccia said.

Li Weide shrugged. "I'm also a member of the wizarding world, so this is what I should do. Besides, I only discovered this place; the one who can truly determine its origins is my brother Zhang San."

Upon hearing this, Zhang San gave Li Weide another grateful look.

He's a true brother, never forgetting to show off his skills anytime, anywhere.

Sure enough, Viccia also encouraged Zhang San and, like Liu Tao, inquired about Zhang San's current situation.

Li Weide knew in his heart that after this incident, Lao Zhang would definitely be promoted.

Liu Tao and Viccia were well aware of the Ministry of Magic's ulterior motives, so they were determined not to let a talented individual continue to languish within the British Ministry of Magic.

Ten minutes later, everyone gathered again at the top of the iceberg for a brief meeting.

Everyone shared their discoveries.

Ultimately, the conclusion is that it contains dark magical energy that no one can fathom...

Destroying it rashly would be unwise, so in the end, everyone agreed to Liu Tao's suggestion to seal everything in the vicinity.

Without a doubt, it would be an easy task for such a group of wizards to seal and erase a place.

The effect of their combined sealing was far greater than if Li Weide had done it alone.

Li Weide's methods alone were still too weak. Relying solely on the knowledge generated by the system was not enough for him to reach a top level in every field.

Therefore, informing these people about this matter and letting them handle it was the best choice. Just as everyone made their decision and prepared to go back to get the materials and get things done, dozens of small black dots suddenly appeared on the horizon…

Li Wade took out a pair of binoculars and looked around, then nervously hid behind Dumbledore.

“They are Aurors from the Soviet Ministry of Magic…” Livid said.

“Oh…” Dumbledore suddenly realized.

No wonder that brat was so guilty. Last time he came to the Soviet Union, he even ran off with the daughter of the Auror's office director.

Theoretically speaking, this brat is still the Soviet Ministry of Magic's number one most wanted criminal...

Of course, it was purely because Li Weide was feeling guilty; the Soviet Ministry of Magic still didn't know the details of the wanted criminal.

A short while later, the Auror team arrived in front of the group on broomsticks.

First, a stern-looking middle-aged man strode up to Viksia and asked in heavily accented Eastern European English, "What's going on? Why didn't anyone notify the Soviet Ministry of Magic?"

"This matter was communicated to the magic ministries of various countries through the Wizarding Federation... As far as I know, Mr. Igreve of your country has just retired..."

In short, Mr. Igreve was supposed to go back and inform the Soviet Ministry of Magic immediately after attending the meeting, but Mr. Igreve had retired and no one had come to take over from the Soviet Ministry of Magic, so the news came much slower than others.

While Viccia was explaining to the man, Li Weide overheard everything.

It turns out that this burly fellow was none other than Andrews's sworn enemy, the current head of the Soviet Auror Office, Bruksky Yuriev, Elena's father.

Dumbledore put his hand on Rivendell's shoulder, signaling him to calm down and not act rashly.

Clearly, Dumbledore also remembered this person.

Li Weide looked at Dumbledore with some helplessness. This guy is Andrews' enemy, not mine. Why should I act impulsively?
In your heart, am I just a reckless young man who would do anything for his friends?

Tsk, maybe he overdid it when he was acting and trying to create a persona...

Okay, I'm just that kind of hothead!

So, Li Weide pretended to struggle a few times... Isn't life just about acting?

Li Wade even suspected that even if Dumbledore knew about his shady schemes now, he might still feel that he was forced into it...

Viktsia held Director Yuriev in high esteem, as he was almost certain to become the next Minister of Magic of the Soviet Union.

In any case, he actually handles most of the affairs of the Soviet Ministry of Magic now.

Yuriev was also very troubled by the existence of such a place within his territory.

Therefore, he had no objection when he learned that these people wanted to seal this place away.

This is helping him solve a big problem, and he has no reason to refuse.

Yuriev promised that the Soviet Ministry of Magic would send people to monitor the place, and then everyone began to prepare for the sealing.

Li Weide was also assigned a task: to reinforce and improve the teleportation array so that it could exist for a long time.

If anything happens, everyone can use the teleportation array to provide quick support.

Zhang San also has a mission; his feng shui skills allow him to effectively guide everyone on where to use sealing magic...

This gave Zhang San another opportunity to shine in front of everyone.

Everyone worked until nightfall before finally erasing this place from the map!

During this time, the group conducted several more tests to determine the distance of 100 meters outside the tomb entrance, which would prevent the monsters from being attracted. They then marked the distance.

"...For safety reasons, we would like your company to provide us with a magical device that can remotely monitor this ancient tomb."

Yuriev approached Livid and made his demands.

"Sure, but you have to place an order with Hydra first, and then I can tailor-make it for you... No offense intended, but I'm under contract and can't take on freelance work."

Li Weide readily agreed, but Yuriev still needed to go through the company before he could help him build the equipment.

In other words, it's impossible to get something for free...

Yuriev frowned, somewhat impatient, but when he heard Li Weide say that a contract had been signed with Hydra, and that the terms were incredibly reasonable, he accepted only these terms…

Watching Yuriev's departing figure, Li Weide couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation.

If this guy sees that the owner of Hydra is Andrews... I wonder how interesting his expression will be!

……

It was already past midnight when we got back to Hogwarts.

When Li Weide opened the door, he saw Tom sitting in his chair, dozing off.

And the tea he had treasured was also opened and a large pot of it was brewed...

Li Wei leaned closer to take a look, and saw that half of it was missing! He was instantly overwhelmed with unbearable heartache…

"No way... you really don't consider yourself an outsider!" Li Weide slapped Tom awake. "How the hell could you sleep after drinking so much of my tea?"

Tom rubbed his head. "It didn't taste good, so I didn't drink much..."

"Damn! You don't even like it, yet you brew so much... What a waste! Get out of the way..." Lee Weide impatiently shooed Tom away from his most comfortable chair. "Tsk... You clueless foreigner, who brews tea like that?"

"Heh, actually, in Britain, you're the silly foreigner," Tom sneered.

"Stop talking nonsense, what are you doing here?"

"I'm waiting for you. I have something to ask you. After you moved out of the dorm, I didn't know exactly when you would be back, so I had no choice but to wait here..."

Li Weide looked at Tom with some surprise, "You're here because of your ancestor's affairs, aren't you?"

"It's... his physical body... If you can repair his physical body, can he be completely brought back to life from his ghostly state?" Tom asked nervously.

Li Weide looked at Tom thoughtfully, "You are quite filial... I wish you were as filial to me as you are to me."

"I'll be your filial son!"
