Hogwarts: This Dark Lord is so evil.

Chapter 486 As everyone knows, Tom is a grateful and good boy.

After playing around for a while, Li Weide seriously considered the feasibility of Tom's idea.

To succeed, one must consider whether ghosts and souls are the same thing.

If they're not the same thing, then what's different about them?

If a new physical body could be created, would it be possible to successfully resurrect Slytherin?
All of this is actually unknown.

Moreover, Li Weide felt that this matter was far more complicated than he had imagined.

It is well known that throughout history, countless wizards have achieved profound mastery in the art of soul magic.

But so far, he has never heard of anyone successfully possessing another's body and being resurrected...

Wait...reincarnation? Since the East has this term...does that mean there have been such cases in my hometown?
"What came to mind?" Tom asked, seeing Lee Wade's eyes light up. He assumed Lee had come up with a solution.

“I have some guesses. We’ll have to verify them to know for sure, but… this kind of thing is practically defying the heavens, and I don’t know if it will succeed… I advise you not to have too high hopes. Maybe… staying where it is now isn’t so bad.” Li Weide pondered.

"If you can come back to life, who would want to be a ghost?" Tom shook his head.

“I advise you to ask the old man what he really thinks,” Li Weide said. “In fact, ghosts are immortal… even more resilient than vampires. A successful resurrection might not be a good thing.”

Tom was somewhat taken aback by what he heard.

Indeed, if they remained in ghost form, Slytherin could have lived on for a long time.

But if he were to be resurrected... given his current age...

“I’ve never thought about that. But I think he really wanted to come back to life, otherwise he wouldn’t have been in such a hurry to bring back pieces of his own body,” Tom murmured.

"You should ask him again. Also... even if it's possible to resurrect someone, you absolutely cannot tell anyone..." Li Weide said seriously. "You know, if used properly, this technology... might achieve an alternative form of immortality, which has an indescribable attraction for some people! Besides... how do you know if the Grim Reaper really exists in this world? Doing this is like fighting with the Grim Reaper for people... If the Grim Reaper really exists, doing this is undoubtedly offending a god... This is not a good thing."

"I understand." Tom thought about it carefully, and a cold sweat broke out on his brow. "It's better not to do that..."

Not to mention attracting the covetous eyes of others, if the Grim Reaper exists, then it would be truly dangerous.

Tom walked dejectedly toward the door.

“Wait…” Li Weide suddenly called out to Tom.

"what happened?"

“Should we ask the old man’s opinion first?” Li Weide suddenly said.

Tom frowned. "Wouldn't it be better not to ask? Let's just say there's no way to bring him back to life... If he knew there was this opportunity and really wanted to be resurrected, would you be willing to take the risk? Thinking about it, it's still a bit of a loss."

Li Weide pondered for a moment, "Go and probe what else the old man wants to do next... Don't say too much."

Although Tom didn't understand Li Weide's intentions, he still nodded.

As Li Wade watched Tom leave, a sense of unease crept into his heart; Slytherin's greatest obsession was essentially gone.

And ghosts, once their obsession is fulfilled, will once again embark on that great adventure... to death.

If Slytherin has thought things through and doesn't want to be resurrected, then they will likely have to say goodbye to them.

To be honest, I'm actually a little reluctant to part with this awkward old man.

……

After completely sealing the eerie tomb, the members of the International Wizarding Federation did not ignore the problem of vampires.

According to the intelligence provided by Li Weide, the last vampires retreated to Australia.

Now, it's time to get rid of these monsters.

Although their exact location is unknown, knowing that they are in Australia has already significantly narrowed down the possibilities.

Soon, Hydra received a new order for a magical device that could detect vampires on a large scale...

This is a huge order... The key is not the amount of Galleons, but that once this order is completed and the vampires are completely wiped out, Hydra's reputation will rise even higher!
To this end, Li Weide personally went to the headquarters of Hydra and led the entire technical department to carry out the work.

This was also the first time that Li Wade met the Potters.

Well, young Mr. Potter looked almost exactly like Harry in the movies, and Mrs. Potter was very beautiful too…

It has to be said that the Potter family are indeed obsessed with looks.

Li Weide's technical expertise quickly won over the entire technical department, allowing him to integrate their research capabilities in a very short time. Building upon the previous detector and with research material like the Heart of Blood, Hydra Corporation delivered the product just two days later…

It was an unmanned, disc-shaped flying device that flew at extremely high speeds and could also become invisible.

It can automatically fly all over Australia in a very short time.

As long as there are vampires in the area it flies over, even if they are hidden deep underground, the blood magic trail at the entrance can be detected and recorded!

The members of the International Federation of Wizards happily left with their belongings.

As everyone celebrated, Li Weide scratched his head, recalling the shape of the disc, and only then did he belatedly realize what it was.

I was so engrossed in the research that I didn't notice much, but now it seems... this thing looks like a UFO.
I couldn't possibly have created the UFO, could I?
……

After Li Wade returned to Hogwarts, another uninvited guest appeared in his room.

This time it's Slytherin...

"I realized that reinforcing the door locks seemed pointless..."

“I am a ghost, Wade. I don’t usually use doors,” Slytherin said, lighting three incense sticks and magically fixing them to Wade’s desk. “After many attempts, I still find that three incense sticks have the richest aroma…”

Li Weide shrugged. "In my hometown, people light three sticks of incense when offering it to their ancestors... No wonder."

“That’s certainly based on experience… Hmm, Tom came to see me last night… Although he tried to get to the bottom of things, I could understand what he meant,” Slytherin said. “He wanted to know if I wanted to be resurrected, and if not, how long I could remain in the world… He hesitated, afraid to ask directly. That silly boy, still clinging to the memory of someone who’s already gone…”

“You taught him a lot. As everyone knows, Tom is a grateful and good boy. It’s normal that he’s reluctant to see you go.” There was something off about what Li Weide said.

“Dead is dead…the living shouldn’t dwell too much on the deceased. You’d better talk to this kid for me when you have time,” Slytherin said. “Oh, and give this to him too.”

As Slytherin spoke, he produced a brand new snakewood wand.

"I took a bit of your basilisk horn as the core of my staff. Consider it payment for raising the basilisk for you all those days. You don't have any objections, do you?"

“No objection. But why didn’t you hand it to him yourself?” Li Weide picked up the snakewood wand and casually waved it. “A fine wand! But…”

"But what?"

“This wand is perfect for dark magic, but… it’s not suitable for Tom anymore. I don’t think this wand can cast a smooth Patronus Charm,” Li Wade laughed.

"This is all because you've led them astray!" Slytherin thought of his own direct descendants, who were unwilling to use Dark Magic, and couldn't help but feel heartbroken. Power itself has no inherent good or evil! Only humans do!
“Give it to him.” After a long pause, Slytherin continued, “Although this wand will waste a lot of its power if you don’t use dark magic, it’s still powerful enough to cast a Patronus Charm. It’s much more powerful than an ordinary wand. I won’t hand it to him myself, so he won’t be reluctant to part with it.”

After examining the wand, Li Wade discovered that its craftsmanship was not much inferior to that of the wands made by Ollivander...

This shows that over the past thousand years, the craftsmanship of wand making has not actually improved much.

Ollivander's biggest improvement was in the identification of materials... Unicorn hair, phoenix tail feathers, and dragon heartstrings are indeed the most stable core materials.

"Are you really going to... leave?" Li Weide asked.

“This isn’t something I can decide, Wade… I’m a ghost, a ghost without obsessions. After a while, I’ll slowly disappear and return to that path…” Slytherin said sadly. “But I have nothing to be afraid of. Maybe I’ll run into that old bastard Godric again when I get to that world.”

"when are we leaving?"

"I don't know, let fate decide... I'm handing the wand over to you. In the meantime, I want to spend more time with my old friends, so I can face the final moment without any regrets..."

"What about your physical body? You really don't plan to be resurrected?"

"I've thought about this for a long time. Originally, I did intend to have you restore me and see if I could be resurrected, but... I'm already a dead man, a remnant of the old era. Even if I came back to life, what fun would it bring? Just burn me... As long as I don't get used for evil, I have no other desires."

In fact, Slytherin's first thought after regaining his physical body was to be resurrected.

However, after the initial excitement wore off, Slytherin calmed down.

After calming down and thinking for a long time, he suddenly realized that he had no hope.

Perhaps it was the approach of that moment that made him see many things in the world more clearly, which is why he finally made this decision.

After leaving his wand with Livid, Slytherin departed, not forgetting to take the incense from the table with him.

Li Wade gently stroked the new wand in his hand, making no attempt to persuade Slytherin to stay.

He respected Slytherin's choice...and it was certainly not a good thing to keep the soul of a dead person alive.
