Hogwarts: This Dark Lord is so evil

While Leander was flipping through the materials left by Slytherin, Tom was naturally not idle either.

Although he now felt a bit disgusted with his ancestor, he was still very curious about him.

So, Tom took advantage of his free time to wander around Slytherin's study.

The furnishings in the study were actually very simple. Besides Slytherin's emblem on the wall, there was only Slytherin's own portrait.

It could be seen that Slytherin was indeed a very self-centered wizard.

Tom casually picked up a manuscript from the bookshelf and began to read it.

To Tom's relief, the manuscript did not record those horrific dark magic experiments, but a collection of essays.

And the authors of these essays were all written by a person named Devin Jorkins.

After flipping through it for a while, Tom realized that this collection was actually a "workbook".

Because each essay had annotations from Slytherin himself.

These annotations were very detailed and to the point.

It could be seen that Slytherin was truly dedicated to teaching when facing students he deemed worthy.

And there were many such bound volumes on this bookshelf.

No wonder Leander didn't take these manuscripts to read. There shouldn't be any information about Blood Curse Werewolves in these Slytherin-specific assignments.

Subsequently, Tom put down the manuscript and began to browse another bookshelf.

Half of this bookshelf had already been emptied by Leander, and it was precisely the terrifying dark magic experiment materials that Leander was currently studying.

And the remaining ones seemed to be dark magic spell books compiled by Slytherin.

Tom casually picked up one and began to read it.

【Bone Extraction Curse, a decent little hex. The marrow of the cursed person's entire body will be forcibly extracted. The incantation is...】

Tom gasped. This was actually a little hex?

Then wouldn't the so-called little hex that makes people's front teeth grow bigger be just child's play?

Tom skipped the vivid and bloody illustration at the end of the page and quickly turned to the next page.

【Black Mist Curse, a curse discovered by accident. It can summon a strange cursed black mist. After experimenting on one hundred Muggles, the effects of this curse can be summarized as follows...】

"Hiss..." Tom's eyelids twitched as he read, and he skipped more than ten pages without finishing it.

Because the experimental illustrations for this one curse alone occupied more than ten pages!

Soon, Tom turned to a new dark magic curse.

【Blood Moon Curse, a curse I discovered in a strange tomb. Because the conditions for casting the curse are extremely harsh, I have not experimented with it myself. Because the first condition is to hold a Blood Moon ritual during a Blood Moon. And I haven't encountered a Blood Moon until I wrote this book. However, I still have to record this curse, hoping that my descendants can try to experiment when they encounter a Blood Moon. First, we need to prepare the teeth of bats that have sucked human blood. Secondly... Finally, we also need to bring the teeth of the person to be cursed to the altar... The steps for casting the spell are as follows... After the curse is completed, the owner of the teeth will have the missing teeth grow back in the shortest time, but at the same time, his bloodline will also be cursed, for all eternity, and even future generations will not have peace... As for the effects of the curse, the information found in that ancient tomb did not specify. I hope that future generations can add this section after experimenting. However, since this curse has been recorded, maybe there are still cursed people or their descendants living in the world. I hope to encounter one, so that I can know the specific effects through experimentation...】

"Leander! I've found something! It might be related to the Blood Curse Werewolf's curse!" Tom couldn't help but say in surprise.

Leander raised his head and asked, "What did you find?"

Tom walked over quickly and put the book in his hand in front of Leander.

Leander quickly browsed through it. The record about the Blood Moon Curse was not long, because this was not a magic created by Slytherin himself, but one he discovered, and it had not been experimented with.

Soon, Leander finished reading it, and his face also showed a hint of excitement, "A curse on the bloodline! The Blood Curse Werewolf is also a bloodline curse, isn't it?"

"Yes! Could Nagini's Blood Curse be caused by this Blood Moon Curse?" Tom asked.

"I don't know... But, looking at the description above, it does look very similar." Leander continued to flip through the spell book.

Tom said regretfully, "Tsk, what a pity, the information recorded by Slytherin is very limited. Even he doesn't know what the effect of this curse is, let alone the way to break the curse."

"Perhaps, we can find a way to find that strange tomb he mentioned first..." Leander said thoughtfully.

Tom frowned and said, "You're not planning to explore it again, are you?"

"No, that place is so strange that even Slytherin said it was strange, which is enough to prove the danger involved... Even if we haven't found the place, even if we know the location, it's best not to risk our lives." Leander said seriously.

The more Leander understood the dark magic of this world, the more cautious he became.

Because he had seen too many strange dark magic curses...

Even Leander, who had a cheat, didn't dare to say that he would definitely not be hit.

"Then what should we do? Tell Professor Dumbledore and let him explore?" Tom said subconsciously.

"No matter how strong Dumbledore is, he's still human. There's no guarantee he won't fall victim," Leavede said.

Tom said annoyedly, "Then... are we just going to watch helplessly?"

"I have some new ideas, Tom... don't worry. Let's find that place first!" Leavede said thoughtfully.

Seeing this, Tom didn't say anything else. Leavede was right, Dumbledore was also human. If he were to fall victim, that wouldn't be good.

After all, the current Dumbledore is the mainstay of the wizarding world. With Grindelwald at his zenith, Dumbledore's safety is crucial.

If something happened to him, no one would be able to stop Grindelwald...

Even Leavede was not ready to face Grindelwald completely. Tom could see that the blueprint Leavede had in mind had not yet been fully laid out...

Tom pondered for a while, then suddenly asked, "Leavede, can you trick Grindelwald into helping with the exploration? After all, no one would care if he died..."

Leavede glanced at Tom in surprise, "Your idea is indeed very good, but Grindelwald isn't stupid. How could he be used as a pawn so easily? Especially after just suffering a great loss..."

"Ah... that's a pity," Tom said with a face full of regret.

Leavede smiled and said, "It seems you have a big opinion of that old guy."

"Of course! If someone dared to point a wand at your neck, you would have melted him long ago, right?" Tom scoffed.

"That's right, I never hold grudges overnight. Even if I can't beat him, I have to make him suffer," Leavede said with a smile. "Okay, enough talk, take out this book first, and then go find other books to see if there are any records about that strange ancient tomb, or, if you can directly find information about the Blood Curse Werewolf, that would be even better."

With a goal, there is motivation.

Tom also changed his casual attitude and began to carefully read the books left by Slytherin.

Even the students' homework was carefully examined by him.

Leavede quickly finished reading those experimental manuscripts and joined Tom, starting to read Slytherin's other manuscripts.

With Leavede's joining, the speed of searching for information was much faster.

Soon, they found some clues in a manuscript left by Slytherin that resembled a travelogue.

【...This time I returned from Eastern Europe with a lot of gains, especially that ancient tomb! I have to say, that ancient tomb is indeed the most bizarre place I have ever seen in my life! Thanks to that place, I might have to walk with a cane for the rest of my life... This damn curse, I can't completely remove it alone! However, I am already in my sixties this year, and walking with a cane is not a strange thing. Godric shouldn't laugh at me, right? Forget it, I'll find Helga and Rowena to take a look in a few days, maybe they will know something...】

【Thank God! With everyone's help, I finally got rid of the curse on my body! However, my handsome appearance is gone forever. That guy Godric actually said I looked like a big monkey. I know he didn't mean it, but I still fought him. His sword is sharp, but my cane is also strong...】

"That place is in Eastern Europe, and there is a curse inside that even Slytherin couldn't remove alone... Tsk tsk, I didn't expect Slytherin to become ugly because of this..." Leavede murmured, repeating the key points in the manuscript.

"You were right, Leavede. Even Dumbledore might not be able to come out of this place safely... It actually takes the four giants together to completely remove the curse inside?" Tom was very shocked.

"Yeah. We can only discuss it in the long term..." Leavede pondered.

"Should we tell Dumbledore about these clues?" Tom asked.

"Of course, we should tell him. We don't need to hide everything. Appropriately revealing some secrets will actually give us more help," Leavede said, and sorted out those manuscripts.

"Okay... then what have you gained? Besides this Blood Moon Curse," Tom asked again.

"Yes, yes." Leavede pulled out a copy from the experimental manuscripts and shoved it in front of Tom's nose.

"I don't want to see..."

"Okay, I forgot you can't understand it. This is an experiment about recasting the body... I'm thinking, if Nagini's bloodline is always cursed, then maybe I can reshape a body for her... Of course, this is the last resort to consider."

Hearing this, Tom quickly took the manuscript and browsed it.

"Father's bone, inadvertently donated... Servant's blood, voluntarily donated..."

"Ah! Sorry, I took the wrong one, it should be this one!" Leavede snatched the manuscript from Tom's hand and replaced it with another. "Slytherin has a lot of research on this, I just got confused."
