Hogwarts: This Dark Lord is so evil

The streets were deserted.

The surrounding night was like ink, making the shadowy buildings along the roadside in the dim moonlight appear even more eerie and terrifying.

Leif quietly followed behind the flame, heading away from Hogsmeade Village.

Soon, he left Hogsmeade Village, and the lamplight that had been following his shadow finally stopped at the stone bridge at the entrance of the village.

Leif followed the flame and soon turned onto a small path, gradually heading deeper into the woods.

As the trees along the path increased, the dim moon in the sky gradually disappeared without a trace.

Leif raised his head, unable to see the night sky, only the thick shadows cast by the dense canopy in the darkness, like giant beasts lurking in the shadows, waiting to devour people.

At this moment, only the faint light left by the ghostly blue flame remained in front of Leif.

"Lumos!"

The white light emitted from the tip of his wand pierced through the darkness of the forest.

With a sufficient light source, Leif's mind gradually returned to calm.

Seeing that the flame seemed to be leading him towards the Forbidden Forest.

Leif waved his wand.

"Protego!"

A transparent shield suddenly appeared, enveloping Leif's entire body.

Although the Shield Charm was an advanced spell, it was not difficult for Leif, who possessed the magical power of an adult wizard, to master.

Having just moved to Hogsmeade Village not long ago, he had specifically consulted Aberforth and learned this rather useful protective spell from him.

After all, he had just suffered from the Shield Charm at the hands of the Wizengamot.

Tom wanted to learn it at the time, but unfortunately, his magical power was not strong enough, and even with his extraordinary talent, he could only partially form the Shield Charm…

After a few more minutes, Leif followed the flame and entered the Forbidden Forest.

There were no paths in the Forbidden Forest at all, or if there were, they were likely on the side closer to Hogwarts.

After walking with difficulty for another five or six minutes in the pathless Forbidden Forest, the flame finally stopped in front of something that looked like a large rock.

Leif raised his wand, and the light emitted from the wand illuminated the large rock in front of the flame.

At this moment, Leif saw clearly that this was not a large rock at all, but a finely carved giant toad statue!

Just as Leif was about to carefully examine what was special about the large toad.

Suddenly, the stone toad opened its mouth wide and swallowed Leif, along with his Shield Charm, in one gulp!

Leif only felt a darkness before his eyes, but he found that his Shield Charm did not show any signs of being attacked, which meant that the toad did not seem to be aggressive!

"Whoosh!"

Leif only felt his body spinning, and then his eyes lit up.

He felt his feet stepping back onto the ground!

Leif looked around, and he was no longer in the Forbidden Forest he had just been in!

At this moment, he seemed to be in an extravagantly large stone chamber.

This stone chamber seemed to be half the size of a football field, and the distance from the ground to the ceiling was nearly ten meters high!

However, such a large stone chamber was empty, with nothing in it.

However, unlike the Forbidden Forest just now, this basement clearly did not have any light source, but it was brightly lit, like daylight…

Leif turned around and saw a giant stone toad statue standing behind him, almost identical to the one in the Forbidden Forest.

This stone toad was actually a portal?

It's just that the way of teleportation is a bit strange.

It swallowed itself on that side, and then spat itself out on this side…

I don't know where this has teleported me to.

"If I were you, I would leave that big toad quickly, otherwise, it might teleport you back to the Forbidden Forest again."

The voice that had appeared in his dream echoed in Leif's ears again.

Leif looked around, but did not see anyone in the basement.

Obviously, that person was not in the basement.

"Come up…" The voice sounded again.

At the same time, a rumbling sound suddenly came from the ceiling.

Then, a large section of the ceiling slowly tilted and descended, forming a steep upward slope.

After the slope was formed, it changed again, and soon, a long stone staircase appeared in front of Leif.

Leif looked at the long staircase and couldn't help but rub his sore legs.

"Yeah… I really like climbing stairs…"

"If you like it, climb a little more."

After the voice finished speaking, the staircase, which was already long, actually extended another fifty meters!

Leif: ?

…

This time, Leif tightly closed his mouth and strode up the stairs.

Read everything without a single mistake!

Only after Leif painstakingly climbed the entire staircase did he realize that the upper level of the giant stone chamber was still a giant stone chamber!

"I'm here, where are you?" Leif asked as he looked around.

As soon as Leif finished speaking, a burst of white mist suddenly appeared from who knows where…

The mist quickly filled the entire giant stone chamber!

Leif looked at the familiar mist, and his expression suddenly became extremely solemn.

"Nightmare Magic…"

The name of this magic had just appeared in Leif's mind.

The surrounding environment instantly changed!

The originally bare stone chamber had turned into a huge garden with the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers in the blink of an eye!

Leif looked at all of this in shock.

Without a doubt, the other party's Nightmare Magic was many times stronger than his own, and had even reached the point where it could affect others…

Leif didn't feel discouraged by this, because he had only been studying this magic for a day.

He believed that one day he would reach this level.

However, Leif also understood at this time that what the final step of Nightmare Magic described was not false.

"Come over, let's have a chat."

Leif looked towards the direction the voice came from.

There was a gazebo there, and in the gazebo, there was a round table and two chairs.

A very strange person was sitting on one of the chairs.

The reason for calling him strange was because he didn't look like a human at all…

Who is a good person covered in black miasma?

He strode over and sat down in front of the strange man.

Only when he got closer did Leif see clearly that it was actually a strange man whose whole body was entwined with eerie black energy!

"We finally meet, Leif. I know you must have many questions, it doesn't matter, you can ask them now."

When the strange man said this, he seemed to be smiling, but Leif couldn't see the expression on his face.

Leif nodded and asked directly without being polite: "Who are you? Why are you looking for me?"

The strange man sighed, "I'm just a pitiful person enslaved by power. As for why I'm looking for you… it's because only you can save my life!"

"Me? Save your life?"

A lighter emitting a ghostly blue light floated out of Leif's pocket and gently landed in the strange man's hand.

"This lighter… only you can see the light on it, can't you?"
