Hogwarts: This Dark Lord is so evil

Li Weide very generously told Dumbledore about the flying magic.

The more Dumbledore listened, the brighter his eyes became.

This was indeed an unprecedented magic that allowed wizards to fly without the aid of any magical tools.

Most commendable was that this magic did not require the wizard to have high magical attainments.

Even a first-year little wizard could barely use it.

Tom, who had been "expelled," was able to use this magic the first time, which shows how low the difficulty of getting started with this magic was.

Dumbledore left with Li Weide's research results and the wands they both used to practice magic, he was going to the Ministry of Magic to intercede for Tom.

Before leaving, he told Li Weide and Tom to be cautious recently, it was best not to go out, and, he told him not to teach this spell to others for the time being.

Li Weide knew that this was because Dumbledore was worried that Grindelwald's people would be even more powerful after mastering this magic.

After Dumbledore left, the safe house fell into an eerie silence again.

Tom lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking, while Li Weide once again took out a large pile of wands, picking and choosing among them.

These wands, some were bought by Li Weide from second-hand stores, and some were seized from those Wizard Supremacists…

"Tom… you shouldn't be angry anymore, right? Don't blame me… you know, no one wants things like this to happen," Li Weide said, handing over the pile of wands in his hand.

Tom looked at the wands in front of him, but didn't take them.

"How dare I be angry with the great Lord Weide? Besides, I insisted on going with you this time… after all, you didn't ask me to come along at the time," Tom said with a fake smile.

In fact, he had already figured it out, there was no point in arguing with Li Weide!

Because Li Weide was not wrong in this matter from beginning to end!

Yes, he was not wrong! That was the most infuriating thing!

Because, when Li Weide was experimenting, Tom followed along on his own initiative! The purpose was to see Li Weide make a fool of himself!

Li Weide didn't ask him to follow!

So, wasn't it normal for Li Weide to forget to tell him how to shield the Trace?

Moreover, it wasn't Li Weide who insisted on teaching him this flying magic! But he begged for it himself…

Therefore, if Tom really wanted to argue with Li Weide, saying that he had tricked him, it would be completely unreasonable!

After Tom replayed the process, he found that the whole process was equivalent to him handing Li Weide a shovel to dig a hole…

"No, I don't need a wand now," Tom said.

"Huh? Don't you plan to practice magic anymore?" Li Weide asked in surprise.

"Unless you teach me how to shield the Trace, otherwise I wouldn't dare to 'practice' magic during the holidays again."

"Ah… I almost forgot about this again, look, Tom, what do you want, you should have said it earlier, if you don't say it, how would I know what you want? You have to tell me loudly what you want, how can you be as shy as a little girl and not dare to say it? You're afraid to ask because you're shy, right? Oh, I understand you, remember to ask boldly next time, you know, we are dear friends, what are you embarrassed to say to me? I have a lot of things to be busy with! If I rely on myself alone, my memory is so bad, my EQ is so low, it would be bad if I forgot again, or couldn't comprehend! I…"

"Stop!" Even though Tom had been mentally prepared, he was now so annoyed by Li Weide's rambling words that his head was buzzing. "If you don't want to teach, you can just say it directly. I can understand."

"Look at what you're saying, come on, I'll teach you how to shield… Don't worry, we're in the safe house now, the surrounding area is a residential area for wizards, this time the magic won't recognize that you're using magic."

The method of shielding the Trace is actually very simple.

This was also discovered by Li Weide when he was studying the Marauder's Map.

When he was studying the Marauder's Map, he happened to need a considerable portion of naming magic.

That is, magic that acts on names…

Owls rely on this magical talent to accurately deliver letters to the right person.

Although the Trace is somewhat different from naming magic, the methods of identification are similar.

So, reversing the operation, since Li Weide can shield his name on the Marauder's Map through certain interference methods.

Naturally, there is a way to shield the "signal" emitted by the Trace!

In fact, the Trace has always existed, but Li Weide's method is equivalent to throwing himself and his wand into a shielded room.

Tom's talent has always been very good, after Li Weide explained the method once, he immediately learned it.

"This is indeed a good method…" Tom said joyfully.

With the method of shielding the Trace, he can use his wand to practice magic at will.

To be honest, compared to using those tattered second-hand wands to practice magic, he prefers to use his own wand.

It's just… those messy dark magic spells, he still has to practice with other wands.

Otherwise, even if the Trace is shielded, if Dumbledore uses a flashback curse on his wand again like today, he would definitely be thrown into Azkaban…

Thinking of this, Tom picked two handy wands from Li Weide's hand.

One of these two wands is "clean", while the other doesn't care.

The clean one is ready for inspection at any time, and the other… is dedicated to doing bad things, whether it's clean or not doesn't matter.

As for how to determine whether a wand is clean, you only need to use the flashback curse to confirm that the previous owner of the wand has not used particularly outrageous magic.

While Li Weide was also trying out wands, Tom asked, "Do you really need an award issued by the Ministry of Magic now? What are you planning again?"

"What?"

"Didn't you tell Dumbledore about the flying magic? I don't believe that you would trick me for no reason, based on my understanding of you, tricking me is just a side effect, you must have a deeper purpose, right?"

"Tom, you're thinking too much, really…"

"Oh? I'm thinking too much? Then do you mean that you simply wanted to trick me?"

"How can you say that about me? What trick or no trick… we are dear friends! This is truly a niche term for us!"

"That's not important… Weide… Anyway, if it were me, I would definitely hide this magic and treat it as my own unknown trump card. You can't not know how much of an advantage it can create when facing an enemy by suddenly flying up unexpectedly," Tom's eyes were very sharp.

Li Weide frowned, touching his chin.

In fact, he really just wanted to trick Tom, and then incidentally get some honor and bonuses…

Because, Li Weide doesn't plan to use the flying spell as the main means and trump card of combat.

After all, although the flying spell can be unexpected in combat, flying in mid-air is not equal to being invincible, and it is easy to become a target.

It's better to just take it out and brush up on Dumbledore's impression, trick Tom to earn some meager merit points, and then get a bonus from the Ministry of Magic…

However, he knew that if he told the truth, Tom wouldn't believe it either.

Tom's mind is too deep, and many things are easily thought of very complicated…

Thinking of this, a playful smile appeared on Li Weide's face, and he very simply guided him: "Okay, Tom… you are indeed very promising. Since this is the case, then you might as well guess, what is my real purpose in doing this?"

Tom really lowered his head and began to think.

The award issued by the Ministry of Magic, in addition to gaining some honor, will also have corresponding bonuses…

No! It can't be that simple!

Li Weide can't really just want to get that little bonus from the Ministry of Magic and reveal such a powerful trump card!

So, this point is directly ruled out!

Then… is it just to trick me?

That's even more nonsense! He won't get any rewards for tricking me, his real purpose can't be to trick me, to tease me so boring!

After excluding two correct options, Tom began to think about the recent major events, and suddenly felt a flash of inspiration!

Grindelwald!

Yes, it must be related to Grindelwald!

Dumbledore's purpose in getting the flying spell is to use this spell to defend himself and have his expulsion punishment waived.

Because no one is targeting Tom like they targeted Harry, then Tom's expulsion punishment doesn't even need to attend a hearing, just relying on Dumbledore's current influence can be eliminated.

Therefore, compared to Tom's expulsion punishment, this flying spell in Dumbledore's hand is more likely to attract the attention of most people!

In addition to the Ministry of Magic, there is also Grindelwald, who has been paying attention to Li Weide!

Think about it, if Grindelwald sees the magic of the flying spell and knows that Li Weide researched it in the first grade… what would he think?

You must know that Grindelwald's attention and appreciation for Li Weide has always been undisguised!

Back then, when facing Grindelwald, Li Weide left a deep impression on Grindelwald with his strength far exceeding that of wizards of the same age!

Now show off his research ability again… hiss… could it be said…

Tom's eyes lit up, and he blurted out: "I understand, you actually don't want to join the Wizard Supremacists, you just don't want to be Grindelwald's subordinate! You want to obtain the same power as Grindelwald and be on an equal footing with him… even, hiss… that's right! That's right! Not on an equal footing with him! You initially used that woman Annie to explain your thoughts to Grindelwald in such detail… You are trying to build the Wizard Supremacist Party into the way you want it, right? Then… take the fruits of his victory and finally replace him!"

Li Weide's eyes widened, ah? Is that what I was thinking?

No… what is this plan for a dark lord to rule the world!

Hiss… but, upon closer inspection, it doesn't seem impossible…

Li Weide said solemnly: "Tom, you are really smart! That's right, that's what I was thinking!"
