Hogwarts: This Dark Lord is so evil.

Chapter 487 Dumbledore: Tsk, don't delay the child from making money!

"Did that old man really give this to me?" Tom gently stroked the snakewood wand in his hand, his eyes filled with sadness.

The fact that the stubborn old man chose to let Li Weide hand over the wand to him is enough to say a lot.

“Tom, why have you become so sentimental? He was already dead, and now he’s just going to where he was supposed to go a long time ago,” Li Weide said with a smile.

"When did I become sad? I'm just annoyed!" Tom said irritably. "I still have so much knowledge to learn, and you're in such a hurry to leave..."

“Oh right, right, you’re not sad…” Li Weide just grinned from the side.

Tom didn't know what he was laughing at, but he found the guy's laughter disgusting.

“The dead are gone. To put it bluntly, instead of wasting too much emotion on the deceased, it’s better to cherish those who are still alive. Why haven’t I seen you properly taking care of your father?” Li Weide suddenly said.

"Oh...that makes sense." Perhaps realizing something from Slytherin's impending death, Tom actually started considering how to treat his still-living family member well. "I just don't know how...hmm, for a Muggle, should I give him a luxury item, like a Swiss gold watch or something?"

"Huh? I'm not a Muggle?"

Tom:?
"I'm talking about my dad! What are you talking about!" Tom's forehead veins were bulging with anger from Li Weide.

"That's not wrong! Aren't I also you..."

"Fuck off!"

Because this was Li Weide's room, it was Tom himself who ended up angrily leaving.

"Dangdang!"

Looking at the door that had been slammed shut with a deafening roar, Li Weide couldn't help but sigh.

“Grandpa, looking at your great-grandson in this state, he probably won’t need your wand much… How about we try swapping his yew wand for a holly wand?”

……

The circular flying probe performed very well, and the exploration of Australia was completed quickly.

The joint force organized by the International Federation of Wizards quickly located the vampires' lair.

And two locations were found in total.

Because Li Weide had given prior notice, asking him to call him once they found a place, and that he would provide them with specialized equipment.

Therefore, the combined forces did not launch an attack immediately, but waited for Li Weide to arrive.

Li Weide sent a message to Hydra, ordering someone to transport equipment for the Vampire Special Forces to Australia.

He himself returned to the Moving Castle.

Miravia looked as languid as ever.

She lay on a comfortable deck chair, gazing at the beautiful sea of ​​clouds from the flower-filled balcony…

"Ahem, every time I come here, I can't help but want to bow three times to you..."

"Why?" Miravia asked.

“When you lie among the flowers, every time I feel like I’m attending a funeral, a farewell ceremony for the deceased…”

"bump!"

Before Li Weide could finish speaking, Miravia's spell arrived.

Li Weide slightly tilted his head, and the spell was dodged.

"Tsk, what good does it do you to make me angry?" Miravia frowned.

“There are some advantages, for example, let’s see if your injury has healed… It seems to be healing quite well.” Li Weide turned to look at the wall that had been cracked by the spell.

The fact that it could crack even a well-forged moving castle proves that the spell is quite powerful.

"Have you found the vampires' lair?" Miravia waved her hand, and the cracks in the wall instantly healed.

“Found them, there are two locations,” Li Weide said.

"When to set off?"

"Now you can."

Miravia stood up, instantly changing her pajamas into combat attire.

This is the battle armor made from the skin and scales of the first batch of basilisks after they came of age.

Each core member of Hydra has a set...

"Do you always change clothes this quickly?" Li Weide asked in surprise.

Changing the style of your clothes is a very simple transformation spell.

However, it's unlikely that pajamas can be transformed into a matching set.

"Because I had already changed, the pajamas were just something that appeared out of nowhere."

"Oh……"

Why do you look a little disappointed?

"Is it that obvious?"

"Tsk, you lecherous brat! Forget it, let's take some combat puppets to scout ahead. I still don't really trust Annie's intelligence. Who knows if there are traps in the lair."

Li Wade didn't set up a teleportation array in Australia, and it would take time for the Ministry of Magic to set up a transnational fireplace hotspot.

Therefore, Li Weide decided to have Oduin work for a while longer.

Drummond had reservations about this, but the topic of modifying Muggle items was ultimately somewhat sensitive, and Livid's decision not to drive was also to avoid unnecessary trouble. However, given his current relationship with the Ministry of Magic, he would eventually persuade them to relax the ban!
Modifying Muggle products can indeed be dangerous, but... that's because it's unprofessional! Just let professionals do the modifications, and prohibit amateurs from doing them, right?

What? You mean monopoly? Minister, does your Ministry of Magic not want profits?

Auduin didn't care about working or not; he loved flying, especially long-distance travel.

Moreover, Li Weide would give it a new look every time he went out.

Today, its shape is that of a beautiful Chinese fireball, only its size is a little too large.

Alduin is very fast, and the feeling of flying freely without speed restrictions is fantastic!
When it arrived at the designated rendezvous point in Australia, the Hydra employees delivering the equipment were still on their way...

The Chinese Fireball Dragon looks quite impressive; it attracted everyone's attention as soon as it landed.

Li Weide and Miravia jumped off the dragon's back.

Yuriev suddenly said, "I remember that keeping dragons is illegal, isn't it? Doesn't the British Ministry of Magic care about that?"

The welfare minister, who was about to go up and speak to Li Weide, was taken aback upon hearing this. "Raising a fire dragon? Has he raised a fire dragon?"

Yuriev frowned and said, "Such a huge fire dragon..."

“I think you’ve misunderstood, Mr. Yuriev,” the welfare minister laughed. “I only saw Wade and the dragon traveling together; I didn’t see any relationship of keeping or raising them. You see, I came to Australia with you, but you can’t say that I kept you, can you?”

Yuriev's forehead veins bulged; he was nearly driven to death by the Minister of Welfare.

Is this kid your father? Why are you protecting him so much?
The Minister of Welfare ignored the tactless next Minister of Magic from the Soviet Union and strode up to Livid, beaming with joy, even happier than if he were seeing his own father.

There was no way around it; in just the past month, Hydra had given him more in commissions than he would have earned in a whole year of his previous work…

Tell me, what else could this be but his biological father?
"Oh, Wade, you're here early." The welfare minister smiled.

“I thought I was late,” Li Weide said in surprise.

"It's not too late, the equipment hasn't arrived yet."

"Oh? The equipment hasn't arrived yet? Hmm... looks like this is too slow, I'll have to be fined!"

"No, no, it's alright. Don't be too strict with the employees," the welfare manager said generously.

"Sigh, it seems we still need to improve our transportation, Mr. Minister. You see... if I were to improve some of our transportation, how could we make travel more convenient..."

The two men's voices grew softer and softer, then they burst into laughter at the same time.

To everyone else, it seemed like these two were in cahoots...

Miravia looked at him with some disdain, but then she remembered that every piece of equipment she wore had been earned by Li Weide, and suddenly she felt more at ease. Looking at Li Weide, she suddenly found him much more pleasing to the eye. Earning money, ah, it's really hard work…

At that moment, Grindelwald arrived, riding a flying broomstick.

Dumbledore arrived shortly after him, having been brought there by Apparition of the Phoenix... His entrance was marked by a burst of fire effects.

His entrance was much more sophisticated than Grindelwald's.

Grindelwald frowned when he saw Dumbledore, and his frown deepened when he saw Livander and the Minister of Welfare whispering to each other.

Now that the three forces within the Ministry of Magic are becoming clearer, and seeing that Levi and Foley are getting closer, how could Grindelwald possibly sit still?

"Ahem! What are you talking about? Can I join you?" Grindelwald's interjection skills were far less sophisticated than his speech skills.

To be honest, wherever he went in the past, he was always treated like the main character, with everyone revolving around him.

Ask him to interrupt other people's conversations? I've never done that before...

However, neither Li Weide nor the Minister of Welfare paid much attention to him, as the two were engrossed in discussing the development prospects of high-end transportation...

With hundreds of thousands of Galleons going up and down in minutes, who has time to deal with others?
Even the most magnanimous Grindelwald couldn't help but feel a little angry at being ignored. He could tolerate Li Weide, but why the hell did the Minister of Welfare have the right to ignore him?

"...How about 100,000 Galleons?"

"...That's too little, how about this number..."

Just as Grindelwald was about to speak again, he suddenly heard a few words coming from within, and then he understood.

My cooperation with the Minister of Welfare was only superficial; I relied solely on the Minister's fear of my power.

For the other party, there is really no real benefit.

And what about the collaboration between Li Weide and the Minister of Welfare? Those were all real Galleons!

Grindelwald felt suffocated and helpless.

Now, their forces have unknowingly joined forces, making it very difficult for me to remove myself from the position of Minister of Welfare.

Besides... would changing the minister really make a difference? Unless you replace him with one of your own!

But no one will stand idly by while Grindelwald appoints a UMNO minister!

The British Ministry of Magic is not the Magical Congress of the United States; it's just that the national circumstances are different...

Grindelwald noticed that Dumbledore next to him also looked calm and collected, and he couldn't stand it.

"Hey, aren't you going to do anything about this? Your favorite student is always busy making money and such, not doing anything productive..."

Dumbledore didn't even lift his eyelids. "Doing experiments and research is very expensive... Wade had no choice. Tsk, don't delay other kids from making money! Making money isn't easy."

Grindelwald was stunned. This... is this right?

Look what that little devil has done to this old man!
