Hogwarts: This Dark Lord is so evil

The Forbidden Forest was silent.

Whether it was the two goblins who had been begging for mercy just now, or Tom and Andre standing behind, they were all frightened by Leivide's sudden change in temperament.

"I ask, then you can speak, and... don't try to lie, I can tell," Leivide's voice lost its previous gentleness.

Tom was very puzzled, not knowing what information Leivide had obtained from the first goblin that made Leivide so angry.

The two goblins were trembling with fear from Leivide, especially with the corpse of their companion lying next to them.

Leivide originally wanted to continue using nightmare magic to interrogate these two goblins.

But after thinking for a while, Leivide decided to interrogate them directly in front of Tom and Andre.

In fact, he already knew the purpose of these goblins, but... he needed to have these goblins reveal something to Tom and them.

Leivide looked at the two goblins in front of him, and then pointed his wand at the one with the most frightened expression.

"Tell me, why are you sneaking into the Forbidden Forest?"

The goblin looked at the wand pointed at him, only feeling a chill down his neck.

"...We are here to find something. It is something that can allow us goblins to regain our due power and status."

"What is it?" Leivide asked.

"A magical power! This magical power allows anyone to absorb it easily! Anyone who absorbs this magical power will have their own magic surge! Even if they were originally a mediocre person, they can become powerful in an instant!"

The goblin was afraid that if he spoke too slowly, Leivide would become impatient and test the hardness of his neck, so he spoke quickly and urgently.

But Tom and Andre both heard clearly, and a kind of eager light burst out in their eyes.

A power that can make oneself stronger?

No Slytherin could resist this temptation!

"Where is this magical power?" Leivide asked.

"We... we are still searching, but, we believe we will find it soon!" the goblin quickly replied.

Leivide asked, "Haven't found it yet? How can you be sure that this power really exists?"

"It exists one hundred percent! Decades ago, a powerful goblin emerged from our goblins, named Ranrok! He became powerful because he absorbed this magical power!" The goblin's tone was full of envy, as if he couldn't wait to be that Ranrok.

Leivide knew very well that this Ranrok was the goblin who was defeated by his senior sister back then.

And this "magical power" in the goblin's mouth should be the "residue" generated by Morgana using ancient magic to extract negative emotions.

However, according to the information he obtained from his senior sister, after Ranrok was killed, all the magic he absorbed was taken by his senior sister.

Now, his senior sister is trapped, and he has not created any "residue".

In other words, it is no longer possible to find this "magical power"!

"Where did you get the news?" Leivide asked.

"We found some notes left by Ranrok. According to the records on it, there is still a lot of this magic hidden in the Forbidden Forest, and even in Hogwarts! As long as we find them and absorb them, our goblins' abilities will be strengthened, and then..."

"Then you can launch another rebellion, seize more power from the wizards, and even directly enslave the wizards, right?"

When the goblin heard Leivide's words, he couldn't help but shudder, his eyes full of fear as he looked at Leivide.

The terrifying little wizard in front of him was also a wizard! He said these things... could he still survive?

But, if he didn't say it, he would definitely die!

Leivide pondered for a moment, and then asked, "What do you rely on to find that magical power? How can you be sure that this power still exists, and has not dissipated with Ranrok's death?"

"This..." The goblin took out a silver pocket watch-like instrument from his arms. "Ranrok had been pursuing this power all his life, but after obtaining a part of it, he had no other clues."

"So, he asked a goblin craftsman to study this power, hoping to create an instrument that could detect the location of this power."

"However, later Ranrok got specific clues and went directly... As a result, he never came back."

"But, when he left, the research of that goblin craftsman did not stop. Finally, this semi-finished instrument was created..."

"However, due to the turmoil caused by Ranrok, with his defeat, the Ministry of Magic once again implemented a high-pressure policy on us... That goblin craftsman had to suspend the research and hide the drawings of this semi-finished instrument, along with some notes left by Ranrok."

"It wasn't until recently, after the death of that goblin craftsman, that these things were able to see the light of day again..."

Leivide took the pocket watch-like instrument and opened it to take a look.

At first glance, this instrument was no different from an ordinary pocket watch, but there was only one hand on the dial.

Moreover, after opening it, the dial began to emit a faint white light.

However, after a while, this white light changed, adding a hint of pink to the shimmering white.

"How do you read this?" Leivide asked again.

"The light emitted from the dial represents that there is still this magical power in the world. Once we approach that power with it, the light on the dial will begin to change color. The closer we are to this power, the deeper the color will be... Until it finally turns red, it proves that we have reached the vicinity of that power," the goblin respectfully replied.

"Then what is the use of this pointer?" Leivide asked.

"This... Originally, according to the goblin craftsman's idea, when the color of the dial reaches dark red, the pointer will point to the specific location of this magic..."

"But, this is just a semi-finished product, the function of the pointer has not been realized..."

"We wanted to find another craftsman to improve it, but we no longer have a sample. So, we can only rely on the color of the dial to search for the location of that power."

"Once we find one place, even if there is only a trace, we can use it as a sample to continue to improve this instrument, and then, find all the other magic."

Leivide looked at the hint of pink on the dial and frowned slightly, "Does this pink mean that there is this power nearby?"

The goblin nodded and said, "Yes, but this is pink, which proves that we are still far away from that place. Therefore, we divided into several groups and searched from different directions, hoping to find that place quickly..."

Leivide was silent. Theoretically, there is no "residue" in this world anymore. Why can the goblin's instrument still detect it?

Could it be that there is also a problem with their instrument?

That's not right!

Leivide suddenly woke up. In this world, there is still one place with "residue", and there is a lot of it!

That is the place where his senior sister is trapped!

It can be said that his senior sister's body is also a container for storing "residue"! Just like the goblin metal containers made before.

Remembering that he stepped on the portal in the Forbidden Forest and went to his senior sister's place.

In other words, his senior sister's hiding place may be near the Forbidden Forest, or even in the Forbidden Forest!

Therefore, if these goblins are allowed to explore, they may indeed be able to find his senior sister's hiding place soon.

Of course, with his senior sister's strength, even if she is still trapped there, these goblins cannot break through the illusion of nightmare magic and find the specific location of his senior sister.

However, since Leivide knows about this, there is naturally no need for his senior sister to do it.

"One last question. Where is the gathering point for these exploration teams?"

The goblin obediently handed over a map of the Forbidden Forest.

This map made Leander's eyes light up.

The things produced by goblins are indeed very good. This is actually a detailed map of the Forbidden Forest!

Moreover, as an alchemical item, although the map doesn't look big, the content of the map can be dragged!

Just like Leander dragging a certain unscrupulous map on his mobile phone before he transmigrated!

The goblin pointed to a marked spot on the map, "This is our gathering place... In order not to alarm the wizards, we only come out to scout at night and go back during the day..."

After the goblin answered all the questions, in order to verify the truth of his answers, Leander directly pointed his wand at his head.

“Legilimens!”

“Ah!”

After a moment, the goblin fainted on the ground.

The last goblin next to him was so frightened by this scene that he collapsed directly on the ground.

“Very good, you didn't lie…”

The goblin who collapsed on the ground instantly breathed a sigh of relief, "Then... can you let us leave now?"

Leander looked at him with a strange look, "How could you have the illusion that you can still live?"

The goblin was stunned.

“First, it is impossible for me to let you go back to report the news. Second… just now, did you say you wanted to kill us?”

Read every word carefully!

“Since you want to kill me, it is also very reasonable for me to kill you in return, right?”

Hearing Leander's words, the goblin was completely desperate. If he had known that speaking would lead to death, and not speaking would also lead to death, he might as well have said nothing...

However, thinking that Leander could use Legilimency, the goblin was even more desperate. It was useless not to speak…

“Because of your honesty, I can give you a quick death.”

As soon as Leander finished speaking, the two goblins fell directly to the ground, completely lifeless.

Even Tom and Andre, who were close at hand, did not see how Leander killed these two goblins!

Leander waved his wand lightly, and the ground instantly trembled violently.

Thick tree roots pierced out from the ground, firmly binding the corpses of the three goblins.

Then, the roots rolled the goblins' corpses into the ground.

In just a few seconds, the ground returned to its original smoothness, as if nothing had happened.

“Ding! Detected that the host killed an evil goblin, saving the people who would have died at his hands in the future, rewarding the host with 100 merit points!”

“Ding! Detected…”

“Ding…”

Judging from the system's prompt, killing these goblins is actually doing good deeds. It can be seen that these guys are not good things, so Leander really doesn't have any guilt now.

He turned around, with a gentle smile on his face again.

“What are your thoughts on what happened just now?”

Tom and Andre looked at his smile and only felt a chill in their hearts.

Although they were not good people either, Leander's ruthlessness still made their hearts palpitate.

“If the power they mentioned really exists… then we must not let the goblins get it.” Tom said after thinking for a while.

Andre said, "Yes, these goblins have launched rebellions before. Once they master this power, a goblin rebellion may occur again. And this time, the goblins will be much stronger than before!"

Leander nodded and put the pocket watch and map back into the bag with the Undetectable Extension Charm.

“Let's go first, it's been too long, we can talk on the way.”

A few minutes later, the group returned to the path again.

It's just that this time, Andre no longer felt the fear of the Forbidden Forest that he had before.

Just kidding, standing next to him was a guy so powerful that it made people scared. What else in the Forbidden Forest could be a threat to them?

However, it would not be appropriate to say that Andre was not afraid at all.

It's just that his fear of the Forbidden Forest had been transferred to Leander.

The team still moved forward slowly.

It's just that this time, the one walking in front changed from Andre to Leander.

“What do you think we should do after we go back about today’s events?” Leander asked.

Andre quickly said, “I think we should report to the headmaster! Then, let the people from the Ministry of Magic come over and nip the goblins’ conspiracy in the bud.”

Leander smiled and said, “A very good idea, but… how are you going to explain the source of the news? Are you going to say directly that I interrogated it after killing three goblins?”

Andre shivered, his voice trembling, “No… I don’t mean that! I… I will definitely not betray you…”

“I believe you won’t betray me, Andre. After all, you also have a part in today’s events, don’t you?” Leander said with a smile.

Andre understood that he had accidentally boarded a pirate ship.

If he really went to betray them, then he would definitely not be able to escape the matter of killing three goblins.

Andre quickly said, “We can say that we accidentally ran into those three goblins on the road, and then overheard these news from them. After that, they found out that we were eavesdropping and wanted to kill us, and then we knocked them unconscious. We took those things from them and ran back. When the professors ask where the knocked-out goblins are, we can say that we ran too fast and forgot…”

Leander snapped his fingers and smiled, “This reason is very good. I dare say that the professors will definitely not have any doubts about us.”

A flattering smile appeared on Andre's face, "Then... we..."

“However, I don’t plan to do that, Andre.” Leander interrupted him.

“Ah?” Andre was stunned, but his reaction was still very quick, “Then what are you going to do?”

Leander didn't answer, but looked at Tom, who had been thinking all the time.

“Tom, what about you? What are you going to do?”

Tom raised his head and said, “If they didn’t lie, and that magical power really exists… why should we hand them over? Leander, we need to become stronger, and this power can help us very well!”

“I knew you were the one who understood me the most, Tom. That’s right, that’s what I was planning too.” Leander said with a smile, “If we tell the professors, then this power will either be taken away by the people from the Ministry of Magic, and in the end, we don’t know who will benefit. Or, it will be sealed up by the professors. Since that’s the case, why don’t we just take it?”

“Is… is this really okay?” Andre was very uneasy.

Leander said, “We secretly thwart the goblins’ conspiracy and benefit the wizarding world, so it’s very reasonable for us to take a little reward, right?”

“This… indeed.” Andre was actually very tempted by that power.

Tom said, “Since that’s the case, then we have to get these powers into our hands before the goblins do!”

Leander asked in surprise, “Before the goblins do? Tom, haven’t we already gotten the location of their gathering place? Wouldn’t it be better for us to just kill them all first?”

Tom was silenced by Leander's words.

Can it be done this way too?

After a long while, he squeezed out a sentence.

“Leander, I feel like you’re a little too extreme…”
