Hogwarts: This Dark Lord is so evil.

Chapter 498 Why do you smell like a Veela? Are you keeping a Veela?
Li Weide, in the Pensieve, quietly gazed at the enormous floating city in the sky, feeling a sense of bewilderment.

“That shouldn’t be… How could there be a floating city in your dream?” Li Weide muttered to himself.

In Apollin's dream, all the scenes were seen from her first-person perspective, and at that time, she was standing with her back to the floating city.

So...theoretically speaking, the floating city shouldn't have appeared behind Apollin, because she didn't see it at all in her dream!

In that case, how could such a floating city possibly appear in her memory?
Clearly, Apollin hadn't noticed the existence of the floating city at the time; otherwise, she would have definitely mentioned it to Li Weide when he asked her questions. After all, the floating city is so special…

In fact, she made no mention of it, indicating that she herself wouldn't have any memory of it...

"Don't think about it anymore. All of this was manifested by me to show you. I filled in the little Veela's dream memories..."

Li Weide was startled and quickly turned around, whereupon he saw a stunningly beautiful woman in a black dress with skin as white as snow.

"How did you..."

"If I want, I can appear anywhere, at any time, because I am a god..." Death smiled slightly.

"Fine." Li Weide was speechless. You're awesome, whatever you say is right...

In fact, he had some doubts. Even if he really took that final step and became a so-called god, he might still be no match for the god in front of him who had lived for countless eons...

"What I want to ask is, why are you here again to give me this hint? I thought you had already said what you wanted to say to me in the Great Hell..."

"Oh, you're wrong. I will appear anytime, anywhere, at the time I deem appropriate, and then give you a hint," Death said calmly.

Li Weide blinked. "Is that so? Then I suddenly feel like my chances of winning have increased a lot... Of course, you have to make sure your hint is completely correct."

“Of course, incorrect information is meaningless,” Death replied.

“Okay.” Li Weide nodded.

Li Weide in the other world had such a difficult time, failing at the last minute when he was just one step away from success, entirely because he never received any hints or a system, and had to figure everything out on his own.

However, the Grim Reaper observed until the very last moment before discovering that the world line had been destroyed.

Now, not only does he have the cheat code given to him by the first generation of Li Weide, but Death also appears from time to time to give him a hint. If he still can't win, Li Weide himself will despise himself.

"It seems your confidence has improved quite a bit, congratulations," Death said.

"If you could give me more hints, my confidence would be even greater. How about... a completely open-book exam? Sister Death, I don't want to try anymore..."

“I’m sorry, Vader, I can’t do that. I can’t tell you everything. Many times, I have to be a riddle-maker… This is also to maintain the normal operation of the world line. Sometimes, you need some mistakes and setbacks to make the ending more perfect. Otherwise… you can only create a completely different world line at most, and the future that this world line was originally extending into will still be destroyed. So, you still have to work hard yourself…” Death said regretfully.

“Alright… if what this dream shows is true, then… I can know that my floating city plan will succeed… so, in the time to come, I will continue to build the floating city into an indestructible aerial fortress…”

"And these people standing by my side... Since they're standing by me at this time, it proves they can be trusted. Next, I'll intensify my efforts to win them over..."

The pragmatic Comrade Li Weide knew it wouldn't be that easy, so after just one tentative question, he immediately got into the zone and started making plans.

"It seems you already have a general plan, so there's not much I can tell you..." Death said with a faint smile.

"I still think the more hints the better."

“Wade…this won’t do.”

“Okay, then… can you tell me how I, in that world, embarked on the path to godhood without a system?” Li Weide’s eyes sparkled. “Surely you can tell me that, right?”

“Of course you can… In fact, you have already taken the first steps on this path. In that world, you also borrowed the power of the gods…” Death said.

Li Weide raised an eyebrow slightly. "You mean... ancient magic and spiritual roots?"

Death simply smiled and remained silent.

But Li Weide already understood her meaning; everything was implied without being said.

"Fortunately, your riddle-solving symptoms haven't gotten so severe that I can't understand you at all. I understand now..."

Li Weide turned his head again to look at the scene in his dream memory, trying his best to remember all the details that Death had helped fill in.

When he had almost remembered everything, Li Weide realized that the Grim Reaper who had been standing next to him had disappeared at some point.

"Sigh... they left without even saying goodbye..."

Li Weide grumbled a few words, then turned to look at the people standing next to him on the stage.

His gaze lingered on one of them for a while, then he suddenly laughed and said, "I thought you were going to be a traitor..."

……

Miravia's mood hasn't been great lately, because two more lunatics have appeared in the Moving Castle...

Moreover, these two mentally ill patients are not ordinary mentally ill patients.

Because these two guys, one is called Gryffindor and the other is called Slytherin, and neither of them is easy to deal with!
They fight whenever they have free time, causing serious disturbance to the residents!

That's okay too...

The problem is that as soon as Gryffindor saw Miravia occasionally practicing spells in the training ground, they immediately came to her door.

Gryffindor believed that her fighting style would allow her to hone her old and outdated fighting skills and then innovate upon them.

It must be said that Gryffindor has a very good eye and is very good at picking people.

Miravia can indeed hone his old-fashioned fighting style.

It's worth noting that when they first started sparring, Gryffindor suffered from outdated techniques and was even overtaken by Slytherin, who had already learned new fighting styles.

After Miravia had to help them for a few days out of respect for their predecessors, the battle between Gryffindor and Slytherin returned to a state of evenly matched strength.

Gryffindor was therefore very grateful to this young junior.

Miravia thus gained a new understanding of this seemingly mad Gryffindor.

Frankly speaking, no powerful, older wizard would so easily lower himself to learn from a junior.

Especially a super junior from a thousand years later...

Little did they know that after witnessing Livander's power, Gryffindor no longer underestimated powerful modern wizards.

A thousand years have passed, and although the magical theories of the wizarding world haven't progressed much, combat skills have continued to improve. Even Gryffindor has had to humbly seek their guidance.

However… neither of them directly answered Miravia's question about why Slytherin and Gryffindor suddenly resurrected and appeared at the Moving Castle, only telling her to ask Levi herself…

Therefore, Miravia's curiosity had reached its peak, and she eagerly awaited Levi's return so that he could tell her the reason.

But Li Weide didn't know what was going on. He used to go back to the lab often, but after the two big shots moved in, he hadn't been seen coming back at all. He hadn't even been seen at Hogwarts. He didn't know what Li Weide was busy with all day.

……

At this moment, Miravia's beloved Rivid was in the Hydra company's employee dormitory.

Little Veela Apolline looked at the approaching Li Weide with a shy expression.

"What...did you just say?"

"Is there something wrong with my English pronunciation?" Li Weide asked doubtfully.

"You...say it again?"

“Okay, I’ll say it again, I’ve already arranged your work. You don’t need to do anything from now on, just sleep well…” Before Li Weide could finish speaking, he noticed that Apollin’s expression was a little off. “What’s wrong?”

"This...isn't this a bit too sudden?" Apolline blushed and tugged at her collar, looking at Li Weide with a shy expression.

Li Weide frowned, then expressionlessly reached out and forcefully tapped Veela on the head.

"Ouch!" Apollin cried out in pain, tears welling up in her eyes.

“What are you thinking? I mean, your job is to sleep…you sleep by yourself! Then tell me what you had in your precognitive dreams! And give me a copy of your dream memories…” Li Weide added solemnly.

"Huh? That's it?" Apolline looked disappointed.

"Otherwise what? Why don't you go back to working as a receptionist?"

"No... I'd better not. I haven't been able to control my charm magic well enough. It would affect a lot of people." Apolline shook her head repeatedly.

Rather than being stared at like a monkey any longer, she felt it was better to stay in her dorm and sleep soundly...

"It's good that you know." Li Weide was very satisfied with Apollin's attitude.

"But... if you keep letting me sleep in the dorm and never take me with you, then the things I dream about might not have anything to do with you, because I can only dream about things related to myself... then will it still have any predictive power for you?"

“What you said makes sense, but let’s talk about this later. You should stay here for now,” Li Weide said, shaking his head.

Since Veela Apolline always stands behind him in the precognitive dream, it proves that she is someone he can trust.

However, the specifics still need to be investigated, so it's best to leave it as it is for the time being.

"Sigh..." Seeing that the plan had failed again, Apollin was unwilling to give up.

In fact, she was very interested in the boy in front of her who was only a few years younger than her.

On the one hand, they were of similar age, and on the other hand, Li Weide's magic power was extremely strong.

These things would undoubtedly be incredibly tempting to a Veela!

But... why does Li Weide seem oblivious to his own charm?
This discovery made Apolline doubt her own charm for the first time...

……

After leaving the company's staff dormitory, Li Weide prepared to return to the Moving Castle.

He still had many things to instruct the laboratory to complete.

He himself still had to study the path to godhood... all of this would be safer to do in the moving castle.

However, he had barely appeared in the garden square of the moving castle when he saw Miravia flying towards him!

"Li Weide! You're finally back! Tell me quickly what happened... Huh?"

Miravia hadn't even finished speaking when she approached Li Weide, and she couldn't help but let out a soft "Eh."

She circled around Li Weide several times, her small nose twitching constantly. "Something's not right, Weide. Why do I smell a Veela's stench on you? You haven't been back for days. Did you go and keep a Veela?"

Li Weide rolled his eyes at her. "Can you be serious for once? Who's keeping... um... no, judging from the current situation, I am..."

Paying the other person a salary, and then not letting them do any work, just letting them sleep... This definitely looks like keeping someone as a sugar daddy!

"You admit it now? Tsk... I didn't expect you to have such an interest at such a young age..." Miravia walked away a few steps in disgust, looking at Li Weide as if he were a piece of trash...

"No... get to the point! Why are you suddenly rewarding me?" Li Weide asked, puzzled.

“You’re not exactly serious either!” Miravia frowned.

Miravia felt a sudden surge of irritation for no apparent reason, but her intense curiosity overcame it.

"Never mind that, just tell me quickly, what exactly happened? Or... is some strange enemy about to appear? Otherwise, why would Gryffindor and Slytherin suddenly come back to life and move into the Moving Castle?"

Li Weide hesitated for a moment. Of course, he couldn't tell Miravia the truth. After all, she was a character in this current timeline.

They were completely different from the Gryffindors, who were already "dead".

After a long deliberation, Li Weide slowly said, "Milavia, do you believe me?"

Miravia shrugged. "Of course I believe you."

"Well... I'm planning to change my development strategy, which might be a bit more aggressive... In that case, will you still trust me?"

“Of course I trust you!” Miravia replied firmly.

If he hadn't answered like that, Li Weide might not have told her anything at all!
“Since you completely trust me, then take my advice: don’t ask any more questions, and just support all my decisions as before,” Li Weide said with a smile.

But Miravia was almost furious. She had already said she believed him, but this guy still wouldn't tell her anything! Why did you ask me so many questions!

"You brat, I've discovered you're playing me!"
