Hogwarts: This Dark Lord is so evil

In any case, being able to initially manipulate one's own dreams means that I have at least touched the threshold of Nightmare Magic.

Few of the ancestors of the Somnolens family could achieve this.

According to the manuscript, the next step for Leander is to continuously expand the size of the dream space that he can manipulate.

Right now, Leander can only simulate a small corner of a London street in his dream…

According to his estimation, only when he can expand the simulated environment to the size of an entire street will he have the ability to proceed to the next step, which is also the final step.

Leander finds this final step to be absurd and contradictory just by looking at it.

How could it be possible…

This final step is to move the power of the dream into reality while in a conscious state.

For example, to move the London street scene conjured in a dream into reality, so that others can see it…

Most importantly, the caster must be awake during this process and not enter a state of sleep!

In other words, Leander has to let others see the daydream he creates.

Only by achieving this step can he use this magic to put others to sleep and then freely manipulate their dreams…

Seeing this, Leander knew that this was not a goal he could achieve in the short term.

He decisively put down the manuscript, stood up, and stretched.

His mood became cheerful again.

Although it is difficult to reach the final step, practicing this magic can continuously increase the strength of his soul.

This alone makes it worth the price!

You must know that the correlation between magic strength and soul strength has already been experimentally verified!

In this world where magic seems to only grow stronger with age, he can now increase it through practice!

This is definitely a huge profit!

"Toby, let's go back!"

"Very well, Master Leander. Would you like to Apparate back yourself, or would you like Toby to take you back?" Toby asked solicitously.

"Take me back… It seems I can't use magic for the time being. My head hurts as soon as I cast a spell… I need to go back and get a good night's sleep."

…

Back at the Hog's Head Inn, Leander fell asleep as soon as his head hit the pillow.

The invigorating potion can only temporarily invigorate his spirit.

The consumed soul power cannot be replenished immediately and can only be slowly restored through sleep.

As instructed by Leander, Toby sat by Leander's bed, carefully taking care of him, never leaving his side, which made Tom's teeth itch.

This bastard really doesn't give me any chance!

With Toby watching, Tom couldn't ambush Leander.

While Tom was regretting, he was also very puzzled.

He had only been out for a few hours, so why was this guy, who could usually stay up for days and nights without sleeping, suddenly so tired?

He looked like he hadn't slept for a month…

"Toby, where did Leander go? Why is he so tired?" Tom asked.

"Toby promised Master Leander that he couldn't say anything. Not even to Master Tom, who is Master Leander's best friend!" Toby said seriously.

Tom frowned. He instinctively felt that this must be related to Leander's powerful secret, but…

He already understood house-elves very well.

House-elves will never disobey their master's orders, which means he can't get any information from Toby at all.

However, Toby will definitely know some of Leander's secrets!

Tom secretly resolved that when he learned some magic that could pry into other people's inner secrets in the future, he would start with Toby and then figure out the secret of Leander's power!

At that time, he would repay grudges and grievances!

But for now…

"He came back and went to sleep… Did he eat? Don't let him starve."

"Thank you for your concern, Master Leander has eaten."

…

Leander slept for a long time.

Even Tom, a workaholic, couldn't help but want to sleep, but Leander showed no signs of waking up.

Tom glanced again at Toby, who was still sitting by the bed, looking energetic, guarding Leander, and couldn't help but curse a few times in his heart.

Then he reluctantly fell onto his own bed and covered himself with the blanket…

The night deepened, and Tom's breathing gradually became steady.

Suddenly, Leander's fingers twitched, and his originally calm eyeballs began to roll constantly under his eyelids.

Leander, who had been dreaming all day, was dreaming again.

And this dream was very familiar…

This is a place filled with white mist.

In the distance, hidden by the white mist, a dark figure was waving at Leander.

The black figure's mouth was opening and closing, as if he wanted to say something to him.

Leander, who had learned Nightmare Magic, woke up in the dream immediately.

Then he immediately remembered that he had had the exact same dream last time!

However, the last dream was interrupted by Grindelwald's attack before it was finished…

However, unlike the previous time, Leander could vaguely hear the other party's voice this time.

The voice sounded like it had been processed, and it was impossible to tell whether it was male or female.

Moreover, Leander couldn't hear exactly what he was saying at all.

He only heard individual words.

"…Follow…Power…Dream…"

He couldn't hear any other words clearly.

So, Leander tried to manipulate the dream, wanting to move his position over, so that he could hear exactly what he was saying.

However, this time his attempt to manipulate the dream was completely unsuccessful!

This surprised Leander very much.

"Could it be… this isn't actually my dream?"

Leander had no choice but to give up the idea of manipulating the dream and walked laboriously towards the figure.

For some reason, in this dream, he felt that his legs were unusually heavy…

After a long time, Leander finally managed to walk in front of the black shadow.

But at this moment, the black shadow suddenly became silent!

Looking at the figure in front of him, who looked like the Little Black from Conan, Leander was a little angry.

When I wasn't here, you seemed to have a lot to say to me, but when I arrived, you didn't say anything?

"Who exactly are you?" Leander asked in a deep voice.

The black shadow spoke, and this time Leander heard it very clearly, "Follow it, come find me."

Then Leander felt his whole body lighten, and then the world turned upside down…

Leander suddenly sat up in bed, and felt incredibly energetic!

He immediately saw Toby, who had fallen asleep by his bed at some point, and…

The lighter on the bedside table next to Toby, which was emitting a faint blue light!

At this moment, the lighter was vibrating slightly…

Leander didn't wake Toby, reached out and picked up the lighter from the table.

He tentatively pressed his finger lightly on the blue light.

"Click!"

The lighter's lid opened automatically.

A faint blue flame emerged from the lighter and then floated into the air!

The flame circled Leander's head once and then floated directly out of the window…

At this moment, Leander remembered what the black figure in the dream had said, "Follow it, come find me."

Leander didn't hesitate. Since the other party could enter his dream at will, then it might be extremely simple for him to kill him.

Currently, it seems that there is no other way but to do as he says…

Leander put on his shoes, picked up an old wand, first hit the sleeping Tom with a Stunning Spell, making his sleep quality skyrocket.

Leander's figure then disappeared from the room, Apparating outside on the road.

Strangely, the commotion caused by Apparating was not small, but Toby still hadn't been awakened…

The streets of Hogsmeade were deserted at night, with only a few lanterns emitting dim light.

The small blue flame was floating motionless in the middle of the street, as if waiting for Leander.

When Leander appeared in front of the flame, the flame began to sway forward, like a will-o'-the-wisp guiding the way…
