Hogwarts: This Dark Lord is so evil.

Chapter 541 The battle of wizards is a battle of magic.

"As more and more people join our family, those reclusive families and sects can no longer sit still. Last week, they launched a joint attack on our family." Zhang San sat comfortably on the sofa, sipping his drink, as he reported to Li Weide.

As for who won and who lost, you can already tell by looking at Zhang San's current posture and contented expression.

"So, the overall situation is settled?"

"The overall situation is settled!" Zhang San said with a smile.

“Okay, then let’s proceed according to plan.” Li Weide smiled as well.

According to Zhang San's report, the situation in the Eastern wizarding world is largely settled.

Even the combined attacks of those reclusive families and sects failed to breach Hydra's defenses, so a counterattack from our side might not be enough for them. We can simply push back, which is why Zhang San said the overall situation is already decided…

At that moment, there was a knock on the door.

"Please come in," Li Weide said, looking up.

The tall and imposing Andrews strode in.

"Look at you standing so tall and proud... it seems you've gotten your revenge?" Li Weide laughed.

“Yes. I originally thought it would take some effort, but I didn’t expect that guy to be so easy to investigate… tax evasion, bribery, and a whole host of other crimes… when that guy did bad things, he didn’t even bother to cover it up. I just spent a little money to make the investigators who used to turn a blind eye to him take it seriously, and then he was gone… the rest of the Yuriev family weren’t clean either, so… now everything in the Yuriev family is inherited by Elena, the sole heir of the Yuriev family.” Andrews was so happy that he became quite talkative.

"So, you took care of Mr. Yuriev too?" Li Weide asked.

“No… I think death is not a punishment for him. So, I sent him to prison to reform him properly. If nothing unexpected happens, he will have to stay there for the rest of his life… This is also a good thing for Elena. You can’t really let your daughter kill her own father…” Andrews seemed somewhat emotional.

“Since the Yuriev family has fallen, why didn’t you become the Minister of Magic of the Soviet Union? I promised you that…” Li Wade said.

"What's the point of being a minister? Working in a company is much more interesting. As for the Soviet Ministry of Magic, I directly promoted an old friend to the position. In any case, the Soviet Ministry of Magic is now under our control," Andrews laughed.

He spoke of it casually, but Li Weide knew that it must have involved a lot of complex struggles.

Clearly, Andrews won...

Li Weide picked up his cup, took a sip of black tea, and then looked at Andrews and said, "Alright... In that case, I'll consider what I promised you to be done. You've avenged your great wrong and become Minister of Magic... Of course, you didn't become Minister of Magic, but I respect your decision."

"Yes, you have completely fulfilled your promise to me! If it weren't for you... In short, I can never repay your kindness in this lifetime..."

Andrews' eyes began to redden.

Who would have thought that he was just a poacher struggling to make ends meet, but now he could become a real big shot because of Li Weide?

There's nothing more to say... loyalty!
Li Weide smiled and said, "Let's not talk about repaying favors. I just hope that when I need your help in the future, you can lend a hand..."

Andrews didn't say anything more, but silently knelt down on one knee in front of Li Weide and kissed Li Weide's ring...

“Andrews, get up. From now on, we are friends.”

Li Weide stood up, slowly walked to the balcony, and looked at the floating city, which was now basically completed and gradually becoming prosperous...

In the sky, many wizards were riding around on new flying vehicles... This was the result of his discussion with the Minister of Magic.

“Many preparations have been laid out, now... let time do its work,” Li Weide murmured.

……

Training room.

Li Weide sat by the window, quietly watching the sea of ​​clouds outside.

Beside him, Tom was sweating profusely as he practiced fighting techniques with the Gryffindors.

Li Weide suddenly looked at his palm with a sense of unease.

With a thought, he felt a ring of magic power surrounding his palm...

Now, he no longer needs spells to achieve certain effects with magic.

Magic had become an instinct for him, as natural as eating.

"Magic... what if it were a little thicker?" A thought flashed through Li Weide's mind, and he immediately felt magic envelop his entire body, making him feel as if he were bathing in warm water... warm and comfortable...

"Thicker...thicker..."

As Li Weide focused his thoughts, the magic surrounding him grew thicker and more abundant...

"Hey...this is getting interesting."

Suddenly, the training room fell silent.

This made Li Weide, who had just gotten used to the noise, raise his head in confusion.

Everyone in the training room stopped and looked at him with surprise.

“No… what are you doing? Why do you look so scary?” Gryffindor voiced his feelings.

As for Tom beside him, he was now speechless, only staring at Li Weide in terror, as if he had seen a monster...

"Uh... what's wrong?" Li Weide asked, puzzled.

“You’re… a bit strange right now. Facing you, I feel like I’m facing a mythical creature poised to attack.” Gryffindor tried to describe his feelings.

Upon hearing this, Li Weide thoughtfully looked at the magical power gathered on his body.

It is invisible and intangible, but it does have an impact on the people and things around it... for example, it creates a certain sense of oppression.

If magic had a color, you would find that Li Weide is now like being wrapped in a giant cocoon!
Li Weide suddenly stood up and said to Tom with great interest, "Tom, attack me with your most powerful spell."

If anyone else had said this, Tom might have hesitated for a moment, but since Levi said it…

Tom raised his hand and unleashed an explosive spell! And he used all his strength!

Since Li Weide is so strong, he definitely won't be injured by me, so what's there to hesitate about? What's there to hold back?
However, Li Weide neither dodged nor flinched, letting the curse take hold of him!

"boom!"

The Explosion Spell exploded with tremendous force! It was incredibly powerful! Even the magically enhanced floor was blasted away!
It must be said that Tom's training during this period has not been without its benefits.

Especially after returning from a parallel world and experiencing the power of love once again, her strength has soared.

"Hiss... Why isn't he dodging?" Tom asked in surprise.

Based on my past experience of being repeatedly defeated, if Li Weide tries to dodge, my spell will never hit him no matter what!
But this time he didn't dodge, nor did he even try to deflect the spell; instead, he let it fall on him! The smoke gradually dissipated…

Amidst the astonished gazes of the crowd, Li Weide remained standing there quietly, completely unharmed... not even his clothes were dirty.

Li Weide raised his hand and flicked the magic enveloping his body; surprisingly, it was quite elastic…

"Tom, try cutting me with your sword..."

"choke!"

"I've been waiting for you to say that for a long time!" Tom drew Gryffindor's sword without hesitation and charged forward with a horizontal slash!
"Ding!"

"Hiss..." Everyone gasped.

Simply because Li Weide blocked Tom's sword with just one finger...

"As expected... a wizard's battle is a battle of magic..."

Seeing Tom standing there dumbfounded, Li Weide reached out and ruffled his hair vigorously.

My hair was in good condition, it's just a shame it all fell out later...

"Tom, the maintenance costs for the training ground will be deducted from your bonus."

After the experiment, Li Weide left the training ground satisfied, leaving everyone else bewildered in the wind... because the window had been shattered...

After a long pause, Tom finally came to his senses. "Holy crap! Why did they deduct my bonus?!"

……

Miravia's necromancy laws have finally made considerable progress.

In just one month, she was able to summon a specific number of undead at will, and even summon undead with various skills.

For example, soldiers skilled in hand-to-hand combat, wizards proficient in magic, and so on...

Unfortunately, she still didn't know how to harness the power of these undead.

After all, once the dead come to the human world, it's very difficult for them to interact with anything on earth...

For example, the ghosts at Hogwarts, apart from Peeves, cannot even touch physical objects.

If there is no interaction, soldiers can't fight, wizards can't use magic, so what's the use of the Law of the Dead?
At most, we can just call in a few technical experts and provide some technical assistance.

Of course, most of these technologies are outdated and still offer limited help.

“With your current abilities, you can’t control the Emperor’s Banner yet. Of course, the Emperor’s Banner isn’t finished yet either; it’s still missing some materials. But… I’ve devised another way of fighting for you, which is…” Li Weide said, taking out several puppets from his pocket and throwing them on the ground.

"Possessed by a ghost!"

"Possession by a ghost? What is possession by a ghost?"

“Summon the spirit of a soldier and have him possess this puppet,” Li Weide said, pointing to a puppet on the ground.

Miravia followed the instructions and, sure enough, the puppet soldier quickly stood up from the ground.

Li Weide pulled a steel knife from the wall next to him and threw it to the puppet soldier. The puppet soldier twirled the knife and cleaved the coffee table in two!
"How about it? It works well, doesn't it? As long as they have a human body, these spirits can use the skills they had in life," Li Weide said with a smile.

“This… is good.” Miravia frowned. “But I can’t carry around a whole bunch of combat puppets with me wherever I go.”

Li Weide stroked his chin and said, "You're quite picky... Caroline carries a bunch of magical creatures and plants with her wherever she goes, doesn't she find it troublesome?"

“I still think a wand is more practical,” Miravia shook her head. “Besides, since I can carry puppets with me, why don’t I carry a bunch of combat puppets? I don’t even need to control the undead; the combat puppets can fight as soon as they appear.”

“I’m just using puppets to demonstrate for you, Miravia… You’re a wizard! Your Transfiguration skills have amazed even Dumbledore! All you have to do is use Transfiguration to create a bunch of puppets and have the undead automatically possess them, right? You don’t even need to use a wand to become a well-trained Pokémon Master!”

"What is... a Pokémon Master..."

"Don't worry about the details," Li Weide said, waving his hand.

Miravia nodded, then conducted an experiment, turning the coffee table, which had been split in two, into two puppets.

The moment the puppet took shape, the undead had already possessed it...

"Crack!"

The puppet created by the transformation spell naturally had weapons, and with a casual slash, it cut Li Weide's puppet in two.

The fracture surface is perfectly smooth...

"Wow! It really works great!" Miravia exclaimed in surprise.

“Yes…yes…but the puppet I brought wasn’t created by Polymorph. It costs 55 Galleons each, but I’ll round it down to 50 Galleons for you as an employee. I’ll deduct that from your bonus.” Li Weide laughed.

"What? A bonus? No... when have you ever paid me a salary? Right! You don't think you've ever paid me a salary!"

Miravia, reminded of this, finally remembered that she had been working for that unscrupulous capitalist, Li Wade, for several years without receiving a single copper nat in wages!

Although I'm not short of money, you can't just not send it! This is a matter of attitude!

"Ugh! How vulgar! How can such a beautiful revolutionary friendship be measured in money? You've disappointed me greatly." Li Weide turned and left.

Li Weide ultimately couldn't leave, as Miravia kept pestering him for the wages and bonuses owed over the past few years.

Just then, Andrews came to report to Li Weide and happened to see Miravia pinning Li Weide down...

“What a wonderful thing you’ve done! I’ll close the door for you…” Andrews chuckled as he closed the door.

"Stop! Andrews, it seems you're in charge of the company's employees' salaries and bonuses..." Li Weide lay on the ground, staring intently at Andrews in front of him.

“Hiss… Oh… Of course! Of course!” Andrews understood the look in Li Weide’s eyes, and it wasn’t hard to guess what had happened from their few words.

Since the leader is starting to shift the blame...

"Miss Miravia's salary and bonuses have actually been paid all along, but she just hasn't claimed them. So they're still sitting in the finance department," Andrews said with a smile. "Miss Miravia, you've misunderstood your boss."

That's true. There are no bank cards in the Wizarding World. When companies pay wages, employees just go and collect their money directly... This gave Andrews a very suitable reason.

The boss is trying to shift the blame? No problem! There's no problem I, Andrews, can't handle! Loyalty!
