Hogwarts: This Dark Lord is so evil.

Chapter 523 Is there poison on your lips?
"Is Ariana really dead?" Tom suddenly asked.

At this moment, the mithril in Li Weide's hand had already taken the shape of a box.

“Dead…at least in this world,” Li Weide said calmly.

"In this world?" Tom looked at Levi with suspicion. "You're not thinking of... taking her back to our world, are you?"

“Congratulations, you guessed right… Don’t you want to see how terrifying Dumbledore would be in his prime?” Li Wade blinked and laughed.

Tom gasped. He had practiced love magic with Dumbledore, and he knew better than anyone where Dumbledore's power came from... If Dumbledore saw his sister still alive...

"Merlin's briefs... I bet even the legendary devil would have his horns ripped off by Dumbledore and used as a wine glass..." Tom exclaimed.

Upon hearing this, Li Weide looked at Tom in shock.

"What's wrong? Did I say something wrong?" Tom asked, puzzled.

“Oh…it’s nothing, I just really agree with your analogy,” Li Weide said.

Tom is really a bit strange; he actually got everything right without us knowing anything about it...

By this time, all the dishes had been served, filling the entire table.

Tom picked up a plate of steak and slowly began to cut it. "I feel like... there's something strange about you? You seem to be intentionally making the people of this world stronger... With Dumbledore being strengthened like this, aren't you afraid that when you cause trouble in the future, he'll kill you and use your skull as a bowl..."

"Never mind that, I'm just doing a good deed..."

As Li Weide said this, he couldn't help but bring up the system interface and take a look.

However, the system interface remained unchanged... This puzzled Li Weide.

Shouldn't the system's repair program be activated as soon as I arrive in the new world? Why hasn't there been any response yet?
By the time Tom had finished eating, Li Weide had finally finished making the box.

He took a plate of pasta and started eating, while asking Tom to put the rest of the food back in the box.

After the two had eaten and drunk their fill, Li Weide reluctantly pulled out more than sixty Galleons from his money bag...

Fortunately, Galleons had strong purchasing power in this era, and the small restaurant didn't have a wide variety of dishes.

"Where do we go next? To watch them bury Ariana?" Tom asked quietly.

"They won't bury Ariana anytime soon, and there's not much to see here for now. We'll dig her up again after they've all left... In the meantime, let's look for some interesting things from this era. We can't just come here for nothing, can we?"

“Okay…where to next?” Tom asked again.

Li Weide scratched his head. He was caught off guard by arriving in this era and didn't know where to go for a moment.

After thinking for a while, Li Weide said, "How about this... you go and wander around places like Backstreet Alley, and buy any rare things you see that we don't have in our own world. This era has its advantages; there aren't as many restrictions on the trade of many materials."

As he spoke, Li Weide handed Tom five thousand Galleons.

"No, I'm going to Knockover Alley... What about you? Where are you going?" Tom asked, sounding a little flustered.

"Tsk, why are you still such a coward? What's so scary about Knockover Alley?"

"It's not about Knockdown Alley! It's about..." Tom hesitated to speak.

Tom didn't want to wander around this era alone. What if that guy, Li Weide, left him behind?
But he didn't want to voice this thought, fearing that this guy would laugh at him again.

Li Weide had long seen through Tom's worries.

He patted Tom on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, I've given you all my Galleons, how could I abandon you? Do you think I'd just throw away the materials you collected?"

Tom breathed a sigh of relief. "You better be!"

"Besides, I can't bear to lose five thousand Galleons just to trick you," Li Weide muttered.

"Damn it! So you just can't bear to part with those five thousand Galleons!" Tom roared.

"Tsk... You don't actually think you're more important than five thousand Galleons, do you? Even if you were cut up and weighed, you wouldn't be worth that much!" Li Wade said, glancing sideways at Tom.

"Were the noodles you just ate transformed from poisonous snakes? Your little mouth looks like it's been smeared with poison..."

……

After agreeing on a meeting time, the two parted ways in the town of Godric Valley.

Tom rode the broom that Levi had given him and flew towards Diagon Alley.

Li Wade used a flight spell to fly in another direction only after Tom left.

He didn't know how much time had passed when Li Weide flew out to sea. After flying for a while, he saw a gloomy island in the distance.

Azkaban.

The witch prison in England, guarded by Dementors, is said to be a place where no prisoner has ever escaped...

This isn't an exaggeration; ever since Azkaban was founded and guarded by Dementors, no one has ever been able to escape.

Until a prisoner named Sirius Black appeared...

What did Azkaban have in this era?

Levi hovered in the distance, silently watching the Dementors that roamed the skies above Azkaban.

1899 was arguably Dumbledore's most tragic year.

That summer, Dumbledore had just graduated from Hogwarts with excellent grades, which could have been a promising start.

But... that summer, the Obscurus within Ariana went out of control, leading to the tragic death of her mother.

And now, still in this summer, his sister has also passed away...

His younger brother Aberforth turned against him because of this, and Grindelwald also left.

It could be said that Dumbledore lost all his family, love, and even career at the very beginning of his life in a short period of time...

It all began in 1891 when those Muggle boys attacked six-year-old Ariana…

Also in that year, Dumbledore's father, Percival Dumbledore, took his revenge on the Muggle boys and was imprisoned in Azkaban.

Of course, this is also why Li Weide is now in Azkaban.

According to the original history, Percival would have died in Azkaban.

However, Li Weide didn't know exactly which year he died...

So, Li Wade came, intending to sneak into Azkaban to see if Percival Dumbledore was still alive.

If he's already dead, then there's nothing that can be done, but... if he's still alive...

A slight smile curved the corners of Li Weide's lips.

Damn, he couldn't even imagine that his father and sister were still alive, and just how powerful Dumbledore was after reconciling with Aberforth!
Of course, if Grindelwald had played his part better... that would have been even better!

Without lingering, Li Weide swaggered off towards Azkaban.

Without any attempt to conceal himself, Livid stood at the entrance to Azkaban, while the Dementors and Aurors around him seemed oblivious to his presence. Miravia's Nightmare Magic was particularly useful in this situation.

And so, under the cover of nightmare magic, Livid swaggered into Azkaban.

Even the Aurors stationed in Azkaban took him into their office and let him look through the prisoner list...

There was no way around it; in their eyes, Li Wade had become a high-ranking official of the Ministry of Magic.

Soon, Li Wade found Percival Dumbledore's name on the list.

"He's not dead yet, is he?" Li Weide asked.

The Auror beside him, who was bewitched by the nightmare magic, shook his head. "He's not dead yet, but... he's almost dead."

How much better can a person who is imprisoned in Azkaban and is in utter despair be under the influence of Dementors?
“Find his wand and then take me to his cell,” Livid said.

“Uh… his wand was already broken when he was imprisoned,” the Auror replied respectfully.

"Oh... then take me there."

"it is good……"

After walking through a familiar yet somewhat unfamiliar corridor, Li Weide was led to a cell at the end of the corridor.

In the cell, a emaciated man lay helplessly on the stone bed, uttering faint groans.

A Dementor was hovering above him, greedily sucking away his positive emotions...

"Get out!" Li Weide said calmly.

The Dementor had just turned its head when it was knocked over by an incredibly fast white figure!
The Dementor flew out of the window in terror, leaving behind eerie screams that echoed far and wide...

Li Wade turned to look at the Auror, "Go back now. Remember, from this day forward, Percival Dumbledore is dead."

“Yes…” Auror didn’t find the order particularly illogical and silently turned and left.

Li Weide raised his hand, and the door lock slid shut silently...

The people in the prison cell were completely unaware that someone had entered.

It was clear that he was no longer in a clear-headed state.

Livde drew the Elder Wand, and the Patronus reappeared, slowly walking to Percival's side.

In an instant, a warm and pleasant mood filled the previously oppressive cell.

“Uh…” Percival on the stone bed finally showed some reaction.

Li Weide walked up to him and looked him over carefully.

Percival was disheveled, and his beard, which was no longer recognizable as its original color, was now covered in grime, making him unrecognizable from his original appearance.

Li Weide reached out and placed his hand on his wrist, and the power of the Law of Life surged forth!
"Ugh..." Percival suddenly sat up!
He shook his head before he saw Li Weide in the cell and his guardian spirit beside him.

“Who…who are you…” Percival asked in a hoarse voice.

“I’ve come to rescue the people you left behind,” Li Weide replied.

Percival's eyes lit up suddenly, but then quickly dimmed again. "No... I can't leave. If I escape, it will affect Albus and the others' future..."

“Don’t worry, no one will know you’re gone. From today onwards, everyone will think you’re dead,” Li Weide explained.

"Why...why did you save me? Who are you?" Percival looked at Livid warily.

Li Weide smiled and handed over a large piece of chocolate.

"Listen to me while you eat."

Percival hesitated for a moment before taking the chocolate and then wolfing it down.

Li Weide casually took out another bottle of water and handed it over.

“Thank you…” Percival said vaguely.

"I can tell you who I am, but you might not believe me," Li Weide said leisurely.

“You go first,” Percival said.

“I come from 43 years in the future… Yes, I come from the future. Your son, Albus Dumbledore, is my most respected professor. He misses you very much, so… I have returned. I hope your arrival will allow him to finally let go of his worries,” Li Wade replied calmly.

Li Weide didn't have the patience to explain the theory of parallel universes, and besides, he was somewhat worried that Percival wouldn't want to leave this world, which was why he directly said he came from the future. He could explain everything else to him when they got back.

“Albus… became a professor at Hogwarts in the future? You’re from the future? As far as I know… time travel is very dangerous…” Percival looked at Livid quietly.

As Dumbledore's father, Percival was no fool; he couldn't simply believe what Rivedt said.

After all, Li Weide's statement was somewhat absurd.

Li Weide laughed and said, "I know you don't believe it, but it doesn't matter. Come with me to the future, and you'll naturally believe it then. You'll be able to recognize your own son."

Percival didn't hesitate for long before nodding.

Anyway, he has nothing left to lose. What can this young man do to him, no matter how suspicious he is?

Moreover, given his ability to arrive in Azkaban and meet with him silently, it seemed that he had no other choice.

“Very well, let’s go then… We still need to rescue Ariana.” Li Wade smiled.

"How is Ariana?!" Percival excitedly stood up from the bed. The power of the Law of Life had restored much of his lost life force.

"She died today..."

“Wh...what…” Percival closed his eyes in pain.

Even though he knew that Ariana, as an Obscurial, would eventually meet that day, he was still deeply saddened when he suddenly heard the news.

However, he quickly opened his eyes, his gaze filled with excitement. "You just said... save Ariana? She... do you have a way to save her? Isn't she... isn't she dead?"

“In this era, she is indeed dead, and she must be dead, even if I bring her back to life… You should understand the rules of time travel,” Li Weide said calmly.

Percival looked at the young man in front of him, his excitement beyond words.

Is this young man really that powerful?
Being able to rescue himself from Azkaban, and also save Ariana, an Obscurial, and even travel through time at will... all of these seem like absurd legends!
“No matter what, I can only trust you,” Percival said quietly.

“Then let’s go.” Li Weide put his hand on Percival’s shoulder.

next second...

Percival found himself standing on the outskirts of the town of Godric Valley!
He turned back to look at Li Weide in shock.

Li Weide silently moved his hand away. Although this operation had exhausted him, showing his strength at this moment would better enhance his persuasiveness.
