Hogwarts: This Dark Lord is so evil

Leivde bought the lighter for ten copper Knuts.

The fact that the deal went through at such a low price also proves that it wasn't just Tom who couldn't see the blue light above...

If everyone could see this light, the price would definitely not be so cheap.

After Tom browsed through a few magic manuscripts in the used bookstore, the two returned to the agreed meeting point.

Toby had already been waiting there with large and small bags.

Then, as before, Toby took them back to the Hog's Head Inn.

After entering, Leivde casually asked Aberforth at the bar about the lighter.

However, Aberforth also couldn't see the blue light on the lighter.

After listening to Leivde's description, he suggested that Leivde wait for Dumbledore to come next time and then show it to him.

Leivde also thought it made sense. Dumbledore was very accomplished in alchemy and would probably know something about it.

So, he temporarily put the lighter aside.

Anyway, Dumbledore would be back soon, and Leivde wasn't in a hurry.

......

After returning to his room, Tom immediately picked up the book he had put down earlier and continued reading.

Wanting to become stronger at all times is Tom's only pursuit now...

Leivde, on the other hand, left with the five old wands he had just bought.

Having seen a lot of dark magic in the wizard's tower last night, Leivde was interested in picking out some interesting ones to try.

When you're out there, you always need some trump cards to protect yourself.

And to practice dark magic, you need to find a secret place...

Leivde already had a secret place in mind, which was on the first floor of the wizard's tower.

The first floor of the wizard's tower was originally used as a laboratory, but now the experimental instruments had been sold off by the previous owner, making it seem empty.

It was just right for Leivde to let go and practice dark magic properly.

Aberforth saw that Leivde had just returned and left again with Toby, but didn't say anything.

Dumbledore had told him before that as long as Leivde didn't do anything out of line, there was no need to interfere.

This shows that Dumbledore trusted Leivde very much.

This was thanks to the good impression that Leivde had left on Dumbledore before.

Of course, this was also the purpose of Leivde's previous efforts to show off his acting skills in front of Dumbledore.

He didn't want to be like the original Tom, who, no matter how well he behaved at school, would be watched closely by Dumbledore and would never gain his trust.

This was because he didn't leave a good and trustworthy impression on Dumbledore from the start!

......

Toby took Leivde directly to the first floor of the wizard's tower.

It was completely different from what Leivde had seen before.

The floor and the surrounding shelves had been cleaned spotlessly, and the messy things had been completely cleaned up.

It could be seen that Toby had put a lot of effort into cleaning.

"Young Master Leivde, if you need anything, you can directly order Toby."

Toby was also very happy to return to the wizard's tower. For him, it really felt like coming home.

"Well, I might need some targets to practice dark magic on, preferably sturdy ones," Leivde said.

"Of course, these things are readily available," Toby said, snapping his fingers.

Then five or six black humanoid targets appeared in front of them.

Leivde patted the dark-colored humanoid target in front of him hard, and only felt that the feel was very solid.

Thinking of the Somnolent family's collection of books, all of which were dark magic...

It was completely understandable that the targets for practicing magic here would be sturdier.

If they weren't sturdy, they wouldn't be able to withstand the dark magic bombardment of generations of family members.

But now, these things were all cheap for Leivde.

Leivde said with satisfaction, "Very good, put these targets over there."

Toby immediately snapped his fingers when he heard this, and then those heavy humanoid targets all floated up and landed accurately in the designated place.

Without any mistake!

It had to be said that having a house elf to help really made things easier for Leivde.

Thinking of this, Leivde's heart suddenly moved, "Toby, if I want to learn Apparition, can you help me?"

Toby nodded, "Of course, but... Young Master Leivde, if you want to learn Apparition, it's best to wait until you're older. You're still young now. If you force yourself to learn, the probability of Splinching will greatly increase..."

Leivde immediately heard the key point and quickly asked with joy, "That is to say, if I Splinch, you can help me reattach my body?"

"Yes," Toby nodded, "Toby was the one who assisted Master Sophocles when he first started practicing Apparition..."

"Very good! Then I'll leave my safety to you, Toby!" Leivde patted Toby's shoulder happily.

House elves would never lie to their masters, so if Toby said he could help him practice Apparition, he definitely could.

As long as he mastered Apparition, he would have another trump card. If he really encountered a situation he couldn't handle in the future, he would still have a way out.

Moreover, if he could really master Apparition skillfully, then this magic would provide him with huge help in battle!

Hearing that his master trusted him so much, a trace of ecstasy flashed across Toby's face, but it was immediately covered by worry.

"Young Master Leivde, you trust Toby so much, which makes Toby extremely moved! But... but you are still young. It would be very dangerous to start practicing Apparition at this age..."

Toby continued to persuade Leivde. Although he was there, Leivde would not be in mortal danger, but since he could avoid the fear of Splinching, why risk it now?

Leivde smiled and said, "With you here, I'm not worried at all."

"Oh... my master! Toby will do his best to help his master learn Apparition!"

Toby screamed excitedly, and even changed his address from Young Master Leivde to Master.

It could be seen how excited Toby, this house elf, was by Leivde's casual words of trust...

Leivde had always felt that if you want others to help you wholeheartedly, you must first give them sufficient rewards.

If you want a horse to run fast, you have to let it eat its fill.

For house elves, such strange creatures, a word of trust from their master is their best food!

"Master, would you like to practice Apparition now? Toby will go and prepare immediately!" Toby trembled with excitement.

Leivde originally wanted to say that he would learn it next time. After all, he didn't plan to learn Apparition now, so he really didn't have any preparation.

But now... the atmosphere has been built up to this point, so why not... try it?

Try it and see!

Apparition is always much safer than the dark magic he wants to practice!

Moreover, if he learns Apparition, he won't need Toby's help to go back and forth to the wizard's tower in the future.

"Then let's do it!"
