Hogwarts: This Dark Lord is so evil

"Alas, I wonder when I'll be able to learn one or two tricks from Professor Dumbledore," Levid sighed.

Except for the first class where Dumbledore taught some dueling techniques, he returned to his original teaching pace in subsequent lessons.

It was as if the dueling segment in the first lesson was specifically set up for Levid and Tom…

Which means that in their current Defense Against the Dark Arts class, they are mostly learning how to deal with some common or uncommon dark creatures.

As for the dueling part, according to the teaching schedule, they'd have to wait until their third year at least…

"With your relationship with Professor Dumbledore, wouldn't it be good to just go and learn from him directly?" Tom said with some envy.

In fact, Tom was very clear about his position.

Professor Dumbledore didn't really like him very much.

Although he was considered excellent compared to other students, Dumbledore was still full of vigilance towards him…

But it was completely different for Levid.

Even though this guy was even darker than him, Dumbledore still felt that this guy was a good person!

There's just no justice in the world!

Although Levid also had the idea of learning a trick or two from Dumbledore, he still shook his head and said, "He's too busy. I'd better not disturb him."

Although having a senior student guiding him now is also good, it's still Dumbledore after all.

Being able to learn a little more combat skills, or even powerful spells, from him would also be great.

However, Grindelwald is still wreaking havoc, and at the very least, before taking down Grindelwald, Dumbledore won't have much time.

In fact, under such a busy situation, he can still find time to teach classes, which can already be called a master of time management!

"Alright, you guys continue practicing, I'll go first," Levid turned and walked down the platform that was specially built for the members to practice dueling.

Annie's heart stirred, and she asked, "Where are you going?"

"Of course, I'm going to continue exploring. Have you forgotten what happened last night?" Levid said, and then walked out the door.

Annie's eyes flickered. She thought that Levid was preparing to search for secret passages in the castle that could lead to the Forbidden Forest.

She knew that with Levid's ability, he might be able to find the secret passage soon.

Therefore, she decided to seize the time…

She had to seize most of the "magical power" before Levid found the secret passage!

Tom knew the truth. He knew that once Levid left, he would definitely return to his elusive state.

Making stinky potion bombs, setting up traps, and so on…

It might be much busier than just looking for information before.

However… Tom now couldn't wait for this bastard to get busy quickly.

That way, he naturally wouldn't have time to bother him…

Tom suddenly felt that he was very cheap before. Damn it, it would be so good if Levid ignored him and distanced himself!

He had to talk to him…

It almost cost him his life!

At this time, seeing that Levid seemed to be busy again, Tom immediately felt relieved.

After Levid left the club activity room, Tom suddenly lay on the ground.

Even Annie next to him was startled.

She even thought that one of her spells had caused Tom to have sequelae.

Tom lay comfortably on the ground and sighed, "Great, staying away from Levid, healthy body and mind… Another day alive!"

Annie was very speechless, "He's so good to you, and you're talking about him behind his back like this?"

"He's good to me? Huh? Do you know what you're talking about!" Tom was so angry that he almost jumped up.

"Isn't he good to you? If he hadn't asked me to help you, your Shield Charm wouldn't be well-learned by now, right? I know that many of your dueling skills were learned from Levid…"

"You… you're absolutely right, if his good intentions can prevent me from dying at any time," Tom said sarcastically.

Even Annie, this pure-blood supremacist, couldn't stand Tom's behavior.

"Hmph, you saw Levid's level when he fought with me just now. If there's really any danger, do you think he wouldn't be able to save you? Do you think he would really ignore you? Aren't you his best friend? What good would it do for him to kill you? Levid still treats you as his best friend!"

Tom rolled his eyes at Annie. Didn't you feel guilty saying that? Who was planning to secretly take all that magic power for themselves?

However… now that he thought about it, Annie's words weren't completely unreasonable.

Although that guy Levid often tricked him, he could always benefit from it…

Thinking of this, Tom also felt a little regretful about what he had just said.

Perhaps… this guy's methods are a little strange, but… he really does treat him as a friend…

After all, he even discussed such a secret matter as plotting against Grindelwald only with him…

Hiss… no! Why would I have such thoughts? Am I some kind of cheap person?

But, shouldn't I think that way? He really does treat me as his best friend…

No! Something feels wrong!

Two consciousnesses were fighting, and Tom only felt that his head was very itchy, as if he was about to grow a brain…

Annie, seeing Tom scratching his head and cheeks on the side, couldn't help but say, "…Or… you should wash your hair?"

…

The principle of the stinky bomb is actually very simple.

In Levid's view, it was similar to the firecrackers he played with when he was a child.

As long as it explodes, the smell will come out.

Therefore, it was not difficult for Levid to make.

After instructing his house-elf, Toby, to purchase the potion ingredients, Leif found himself alone in a secret passage.

However, the end of this passage was completely buried by rubble.

This was where his senior fought Lan Locke, and where Professor Morgana once kept her collection of "remnants."

But after the battle, it had mostly collapsed.

According to his senior, only the passage had collapsed.

The space inside was still intact and could be restored to its original state with a little repair work.

Following the memory provided by his senior, Leif enhanced his Repairing Charm with Ancient Magic and began trying to restore the passage.

Soon, the tightly sealed passage began to stir, and even the ground began to tremble!

Leif quickly stopped casting the Repairing Charm.

Such a large disturbance would definitely be noticed by people in Hogwarts!

Clearly, using the Repairing Charm directly was not a good idea!

Leif quickly disappeared from the passage and returned to the surface.

Obviously, the sudden earthquake had left the young wizards of Hogwarts bewildered.

The professors were frantically searching for the source of the tremor.

If Leif hadn't stopped early, the professors might have thought the Wizengamot had come knocking…

Even Dumbledore and Headmaster Dippet had specifically gone to search the approximate location of the epicenter.

With the safety of so many Hogwarts students at stake, no one dared to take it lightly.

Leif looked troubled. If forcibly using the Repairing Charm would cause such a large disturbance… then he might have to find another method.

Otherwise, before Grindelwald was drawn in, Dumbledore and the others would discover the secret passage first.

That wouldn't be beneficial to Leif's plan…

"Is there a way to reopen the passage silently?" Leif pondered.

Suddenly, Leif slapped his forehead.

"Wait… who said I had to go inside?"

…

Nurmengard.

Grindelwald put down the notebook in his hand.

"Leif has managed to deduce several locations based solely on some manuscripts… moreover, these locations are identical to those recorded in this notebook… which means the goblins weren't lying!"

He turned to Vita and said, "Have them speed up the exploration! I refuse to believe there's nothing left! Also, have those goblins send someone over…"

"The other trash is useless, so have them send goblin artisans! Those instruments they gave us haven't been of any use so far!"

"Even if they can't find that magical power, they must find some clues for me! Otherwise… they should know the consequences!"

Vita nodded slightly, "Yes, I will convey your message to them immediately."

Watching Vita's departing figure, Grindelwald frowned.

Since Leif discovered this magical power and even managed to find its specific location based on some incomplete manuscripts, he had a nagging feeling.

It was as if something bad was about to happen…

Grindelwald knew that this was a warning from his Divination talent.

It wasn't that he didn't want to make another prediction, but…

Even though his Divination talent was already high, it couldn't compare to Nicolas Flamel's.

He still couldn't accurately predict the part of the future he wanted to know, like Nicolas Flamel could…

However, he could guess that this ominous feeling was likely coming from Leif!

…

Inside the wizarding tower.

Leif raised his hand and swept it across a makeshift wooden wall.

Then, a spot where his hand had passed suddenly burst into flames.

Leif sighed in relief. He had finally created this kind of trigger-sensitive trap…

This type of trap was like a proximity mine, triggering as soon as someone passed by.

With Leif's current level of spellcasting and the little bit of alchemy knowledge he had gleaned from books, this was the best he could do.

"Next…" Leif removed a bowl-shaped metal device from the wall and carefully inserted a small sphere into it.

After reattaching the sensor trap device to the wooden wall,

Leif immediately put on a mask and stood far away.

"Begin!"

Leif waved his wand, and a small cage covered with black cloth next to the wooden wall was opened.

A swift, blue-gray figure darted out of the cage!

However, as that figure dashed out, it happened to pass by the wooden wall.

Immediately afterwards…

"Poof!"

The trap was triggered again! A cloud of reddish-brown mist instantly exploded from the trap!

"Thud!"

The agile figure immediately fell to the ground, motionless.

It was a Kneazle with blue fur and gray spots…

Leif had casually captured it from the Forbidden Forest using Nightmare Magic.

But now, it had completely lost consciousness.

Leif nodded in satisfaction. This newly created sleeping gas dung bomb had quite the effect, instantly incapacitating even magical creatures.

And it triggered quickly, not even the Kneazle's speed and reaction time could avoid it.

"I wonder if there are any dragons or something in the Forbidden Forest. It would be great to have a dragon to experiment on…"

If this potion could put a dragon to sleep, then it could naturally put a wizard to sleep!
