Hogwarts: This Dark Lord is so evil

The long passage was pitch black, without a trace of light.

As Tom followed Leved behind and stepped into the passage, the door behind him slammed shut!

Tom was shocked and quickly looked behind him.

Because the effects of the Eagle Eye potion were still active, he could still see the situation behind him even without using his wand for illumination.

Regardless of Tom's future achievements, he was just a twelve-year-old child at this moment.

When faced with such a scene, fear was the normal state.

Therefore, Tom was now somewhat relieved that he was not exploring this place alone.

"Don't panic, Tom…" Leved said calmly while looking around, "This door can only be opened by Parseltongue, and throughout the history of the wizarding world, any wizard who speaks Parseltongue has some connection to Slytherin in their ancestry. Therefore, this is a place that Slytherin left for his descendants! There is no doubt about this! I think Slytherin hasn't gone crazy enough to harm his own descendants' bloodline, right…"

In such a scene, besides adults with mature psychological endurance, only guys like Leved, whose actual age was far higher than his physical age, could calm down and think rationally.

Of course, although Leved could remain calm, he was also a little annoyed.

Why didn't he beat the game that he bought for a few hundred back then?

Otherwise, he wouldn't be so ignorant of this "dungeon" now!

However, since his senior sister had cleared the level once back then, presumably many traps and the like had already been resolved by them… That was good news.

But… why did she emphasize that two people had to be gathered to explore this place?

Leved didn't think for too long, and with a gentle flick of his right hand wand, a wisp of white smoke appeared, floating lightly into the depths of the passage.

In this kind of situation where scouting was needed, the silent Nightmare Magic did have a great advantage.

Tom suddenly said when he saw Leved's move, "This magic… can you teach me?"

"This?" Leved flicked his wand, and white mist surrounded him.

"Yes," Tom said.

Slytherin's legacy would probably mostly fall into Leved's pocket, so it would be better to learn something from Leved now, so that tonight wouldn't be a complete loss.

"This is Dark Magic… are you sure you want to learn it?" Leved asked. "Didn't you say you weren't going to learn Dark Magic anymore?"

Leved didn't try to fool Tom this time; Nightmare Magic was indeed genuine Dark Magic.

"Dark Magic?" Tom was a little disbelieving. "What kind of Dark Magic is it? Is it difficult to learn?"

"Functional. As for how difficult it is to learn…" Leved counted on his fingers. "At least I've been learning it for more than a year, and I've only just entered the door."

Tom immediately closed his mouth. Since Leved said that, whether he was telling the truth or not, he probably had no chance with this magic.

If what Leved said was true, then if this magic could make a monster like Leved study for more than a year just to enter the door, then there was no need for him to learn it.

After all, one of the main reasons why he had decided to temporarily give up learning Dark Magic before was that, for him at this age, most Dark Magic seemed difficult to learn and master, so it would be better to wait a few years, grow older, and learn it when his magic was stronger.

And if Leved was just trying to fool him… then there was even less of a chance. If he was really willing to teach him, why would he fool him?

"Then I won't learn it. I said that I don't plan to touch Dark Magic in the next few years. And… to become strong doesn't necessarily mean relying on Dark Magic," Tom shook his head and said.

Leved gave a thumbs up and said happily, "Thumbs up for you, Tom!"

Even if the system had problems and he couldn't see the increase in merit points, there was no doubt that Tom's decision would bring Leved a huge amount of merit points.

Of course, merit points were actually secondary.

Tom's change, even if he learned Dark Magic a year later, would bring huge changes to the future of this world, and that was the most important thing!

"Then Slytherin's legacy…" Tom looked at Leved with hopeful eyes.

"I'll keep it safe for you for now!" Leved said, patting his chest.

"You… how can you say such a thing!" Tom was amused by his words.

"Tom! Think about it! What kind of person was Slytherin!? Besides his stubborn pure-blood theory, isn't he known for his mastery of Dark Magic? Do you think the legacy he left behind would have nothing to do with Dark Magic? But you just said that you wouldn't touch Dark Magic for the time being. So, there's nothing wrong with your close friend, me, keeping his legacy safe for you, right?"

Tom's face stiffened, "So… you really don't plan to share my ancestor's legacy with me…"

"That's right! I'm not that kind of person!" Leved said righteously.

"…You're planning to take it all for yourself!" Tom said through gritted teeth in the second half of the sentence.

"Tom, you look down on me," Leved shook his head with a smile. "Those things he left behind may not be as precious to me as you think… Moreover, we've only just entered, and we don't even know if there is any legacy left behind. What's the point of talking about this now?"

Although the system's performance had been a bit poor recently, it could still occasionally refresh some very useful magic information.

Not to mention anything else, just the "Newbie Gift Pack" that was heavily discounted at the beginning, the 《Complete Explanation of Low-Level Spells》, which was on clearance sale for only 50 merit points, was already an amazing treasure! Not to mention the later Transfiguration insights and potion recipes…

Therefore, in Leved's heart, the so-called "Slytherin Legacy" was indeed not that important.

Helping Tom keep it safe was not really fooling him.

The reason why he wanted to bring Tom to explore this place tonight was only because of his senior sister's reminder that he wanted to find some words and phrases about the blood curse werewolves in Slytherin's study.

…

Tom still believed some of Leved's last words.

After all, he had always mistakenly believed that Leved had a powerful family behind him…

Of course, the most important factor was that his own strength was not enough!

When one's strength was insufficient, one would be restrained everywhere!

The newest novel is first published on the 69 Book Bar!

"Forget it, I can't beat you now anyway. Whether what you said is true or not, I have no ability to change anything… But, I still hope what you said is true…"

Tom could be considered to have seen it now. Although this place was indeed left by Slytherin, he would never have been able to discover this place without Leved.

Thinking about it this way, Tom's mood suddenly became much happier.

…

The two had been walking forward while talking just now.

Because there was Nightmare Magic to scout the way, the maze-like passage completely failed to hinder the two's steps.

Perhaps it was true that his senior sister and the others had removed many mechanisms or traps back then, so Leved and Tom had been walking for a long time without encountering any danger.

Along the way, Leved and Tom also found several iron doors that had been opened.

"Why do I feel like someone has been here before?" Tom couldn't help but ask.

"It's not strange, Tom. It's been thousands of years, and Slytherin's descendants will always come here," Leved responded.

"Then we're relaxed. There's no obstacle along the way… But, I only hope they haven't taken away the things in the deepest part… Otherwise, we'll have come here for nothing," Tom said helplessly.

However, although Tom said that, he could still tell from the traces along the way how difficult it was to walk here back then…

Moreover, apart from those puzzles and traps that had already been solved.

Just this maze-like passage alone, if it weren't for Leved's scouting magic, Tom felt that he might have to spend a lot of energy finding his way…

Leved echoed casually when he heard Tom say this, "Who knows?"

Since his senior sister asked him to come, it proved that his senior sister didn't take those materials away back then. Of course, it was also possible that she took them away at the time and then put them back later.

When they passed another opened iron gate, Leved and Tom suddenly found a yellowed parchment scattered under a wind lamp that had been extinguished for many years in front of them.

Leved and Tom exchanged a glance and walked up quickly.

After quickly reading the text on it, both of them were silent.

The parchment was left by a man named Nocoto Gaunt.

Judging from the name, this was indeed a descendant of Slytherin.

Moreover, the content above was also very interesting.

To summarize, this member of the Gaunt family seemed to be an anomaly in the Gaunt family.

She felt that the Gaunt family didn't need Dark Magic, nor did they need to adhere to the pure-blood theory!

Respecting pure-blood supremacy and studying Dark Magic… were just distorted understandings of the ideas passed down by Slytherin by later generations!

She felt that Slytherin was definitely not as simple as the world imagined!

She came in to find "Slytherin's study" to find evidence to prove that the Gaunt family had a great misunderstanding of the ancestors' ideas for generations!

She always firmly believed that Slytherin was definitely not such a prejudiced person!

Leved put down the note and turned to ask, "Tom, what do you think?"

Tom said coldly, "I think this… Gaunt, is adorably stupid. In order to prove that the family's respect for pure-blood supremacy and pursuit of Dark Magic are wrong, she came to Slytherin's study to find the truth? Is the truth… really important? Even if Slytherin is not as prejudiced as the world thinks, can she change the ideas of the pure-blood families? I have truly witnessed the stubbornness and stupidity of these pure-bloods!"

Leved knew that he was reminded of Morfin Gaunt, the pure-blood who almost killed the Riddle family, when he saw the anger flashing in his eyes.
