Hogwarts: This Dark Lord is so evil.

Chapter 6 The hanging heart finally died
On the first floor, in a dark little room, there was simply a tattered wardrobe and a small iron bed, which looked bare.

In the dark corner in front of the bed, Tom sat on the gray blanket, looking intently at his right hand.

And on his right hand, a small green snake was coiled.

"Hiss..."

Tom kept making snake-like noises from his mouth.

The little snake seemed to understand what he said and nodded in a humane way.

After a while, the little snake crawled down from Tom's hand, crawled out of the narrow window, and soon disappeared.

"Ved...what is the secret of your power? I will soon get the answer...if you can do it, I can do it too!"

Tom looked in the direction where the little snake disappeared and silently clenched his fists.

……

"All petrified!"

"Bah!"

A gray mouse fell straight down from the windowsill.

Li Weide picked up a green stick next to him and poked it. It felt like he was poking a stone.

Li Weide thought for a moment and made another simple gesture with his hand.

"The curse stops immediately!"

"squeak!"

The gray mouse, which had become as hard as stone, came back to life, suddenly jumped up from the ground, and ran away like crazy.

However, there were not many furnishings in the room, and the gray mouse had nowhere to hide, so it had to rush towards the half-meter-high windowsill.

"All petrified!"

"squeak!"

"The curse stops immediately!"

"squeak……"

……

After doing this for more than ten times, the gray mouse stopped running away.

He just lay on his back in the corner pretending to be dead.

Li Weide ignored the mouse and continued to flip through the spell book in his hand.

As expected, practicing this kind of offensive spell would be more effective if there was a living target.

However, what puzzled Li Weide was that even if he had great talent, after practicing more than ten times, he could successfully cast a spell that was not easy without a wand?

This learning speed is a bit too fast!

Moreover, when facing Tom's attack that day, Li Weide found that his magic attack fell on him like a breeze...

Not to mention threatening him, it's not even strong enough to be a fan for him...

According to the book, there is only one reason for this situation, and that is that the difference in magic power between the two sides is too great, and it has little to do with whether or not they practice.

Logically speaking, this situation shouldn't happen. Tom is the future Dark Lord and his talent is definitely very strong.

If we are of the same age, even if I am more talented than him, I shouldn't be so strong that I can crush him.

Finally, Li Weide found the answer to the question in the part of the spell book that introduced the principles of magic.

[…As wizards grow older, their magic power will become stronger and stronger, and after adulthood, it will reach a theoretical limit. If they neglect to practice, or are unwilling to use magic for other reasons, the strength of their magic power will decline, or even disappear… According to research, the strength of a wizard's magic is also related to the strength of his soul…]

After browsing, Li Weide remembered one thing, that is, he was not really the same age as Tom.

In fact, after he crossed over, only his body age became younger. His actual age was already an adult! Therefore, his soul strength was likely still that of an adult.

From this, Li Weide came to a preliminary conclusion, that is, the magic power he now possessed had reached the magic power of an adult! He was fighting against the underage Tom, and even if Tom was gifted, it was still an adult beating a child... it was hard not to crush him.

'So... can my magic power continue to grow naturally? If it can't grow naturally, is there a way to break through this bottleneck?'

Li Weide was not in a hurry about this issue. As the youngest biologist ever, how to break through the limits of the human body had been his main research topic before he traveled through time.

It's just that now, the object of his research has changed from ordinary humans to wizards...

……

Tom was absent-mindedly flipping through the book in his hand, but his eyes were never on the book.

In fact, the little snake he released never came back, which made him a little uneasy.

He knew very well that whenever Livid closed the door, it was time for him to carry out his secret practice.

Tom sent a small snake to peek, originally planning to wait for the snake to come back and tell him what it saw, so that he could possibly peek into the secret of Levi's becoming stronger.

But now, the little snake that should have returned long ago has not been seen at all...

Another hour passed, and Tom finally couldn't wait any longer. He took a deep breath and walked towards Levi's room.

Li Weide's room is on the second floor.

As soon as Tom walked up, he saw Li Weide's door.

However, his door was ajar! It was as if he was waiting for someone...

Tom barely suppressed his paranoid thoughts and slowly opened the door.

I saw Li Weide gently poking a gray mouse on the ground with a green stick.

But...Tom suddenly felt that the stick looked a little familiar?
Li Weide turned his head and saw Tom peeking at the door, and a gentle smile appeared on his face.

Merit points are coming...

"Tom, you're here! I was just about to tell you that I found an interesting use for our special abilities."

When Li Weide stood up, Tom finally understood why he felt that the stick in Li Weide's hand looked familiar...

It turned out to be a small snake that had become hard for some unknown reason!

Tom's heart finally died...

"Ding! It is detected that the host has slightly changed the life trajectory of the future Dark Lord. The host is rewarded with 100 merit points!"

Li Weide:?

……

Hogwarts.

The roaring fireplace made the round principal's office warm as spring.

"Armando, I'm going to London. Leave these two children to me." Dumbledore shook the two letters in his hand.

"Oh, of course no problem..." Dippet sat in front of his large desk, stroked his messy white beard, and looked at Dumbledore with cloudy eyes. "Is it confirmed? Is he really coming to London?"

"It has not been confirmed yet, but there are signs indicating this. But... you know, I cannot underestimate any news involving him... What's more, the source of this news is very reliable." Dumbledore carefully put the two envelopes in his hand into his coat pocket.

"Well... Scamander wrote to you and told you that, right? It seems that he did not graduate from Hogwarts normally..." Dippet asked casually.

"Yes...but I assure you, Armando, Newt is absolutely trustworthy. Moreover, his abilities are indeed obvious to all." Dumbledore said seriously.

"Mr. Scamander has indeed proved his ability and position with his actions. I don't mean to distrust him. I have always trusted your ability to judge people. So... it is very likely that the man really went to London. So, are you ready?"

Dumbledore took a deep breath and said, "Of course, I have already prepared to face him. But over the years, his whereabouts have become very secretive and he has never appeared in front of me again."

"Well, I'm glad you've made your final decision... If you need any help, just let me know. Although I'm a little old, I'm still not so useless that I can't wield a wand..."

"I will, Amando... and thank you very much for your understanding and help over the years."

"Come on, stop being so hypocritical. You can do just fine without my help. Go, go to London, and resolve this once and for all... Of course, after this is over, don't forget to deliver the admission letters to the two children. They are both in the same Muggle orphanage, and the professor needs to go there in person to explain the situation."
