Hogwarts: This Dark Lord is so evil

As Grindelwald's reputation began to turn around, Leiv didn't pay attention to what was happening outside.

Because the seed had already been planted...

Just like Grindelwald confidently said in the beginning, planting a seed in the hearts of Leiv and Tom.

However, this time it was the other way around.

Leiv planted a seed in Grindelwald's heart, an invisible seed.

As for what kind of fruit this seed will bear in the future, it is not yet clear.

Even the system cannot accurately predict it.

Otherwise, Grindelwald has completely changed his style of doing things, so why didn't the system suddenly explode with a large wave of merit points?

Leiv also has his own understanding of this.

The future is uncertain, and strictly speaking, there are countless possibilities.

In Leiv's view, there are many different timelines.

Each timeline has a different future.

When Grindelwald decided on his ambition, the prophetic picture he saw, he saw himself successfully ruling the world... Is this picture really fake?

Leiv doesn't think so.

Grindelwald's prophecy may not be false, but... the future he saw may be just one of the countless possibilities of the future.

According to the original history, Grindelwald should have entered a timeline leading to failure at a certain anchor point event while developing his career.

Therefore, in the absence of a decisive anchor point event, the system cannot determine which timeline the future will enter.

That is to say, even if Grindelwald changes his way of doing things, there will still be a possibility of a bad future.

Therefore, the system will not give merit points until that anchor point event appears.

This so-called anchor point event is actually easy to understand.

For example, Leiv used the Resurrection Stone to help Dumbledore untie his knot, and then made his strength skyrocket, and avoided being eroded by the dark magic left by Voldemort in the future.

This matter is an anchor point event. Because of the existence of this event, it must be of great benefit to the future, so after this event, the system directly exploded a lot of merit points for Leiv.

And these merit points are not too many.

Leiv guessed that this is because Dumbledore is not dead, although there will be a good future, but it is not certain to what extent it will be good.

The system may have its own conversion method, comprehensively evaluating from countless futures, and then giving Leiv a certain reward.

However, Leiv did not delve into this aspect...

Because anything involving timelines is very complicated, and there are too many factors involved.

Even if Leiv really wanted to figure it out, he doesn't have the ability now.

Anyway, he only needs to trigger the system's reward mechanism according to his own understanding to get huge benefits.

Why bother to fully understand it?

Therefore, Grindelwald outside, since he has changed his behavior according to his ideas.

Then, he only needs to wait for how he will develop in the future.

There is no need to intervene at all. Moreover, with Leiv's current strength, he cannot intervene for the time being.

Although his current strength is not bad, it is not enough to face a wizard like Grindelwald.

Leiv still needs to develop!

Therefore, his main task now is to study how to break through the limit and constantly become stronger.

Secondly, it is to study some new things to assist him in battle...

Last time, he barely restrained Grindelwald with his weak strength.

Although it was extremely dangerous, it also made him realize that some fancy trump cards are also very useful when needed.

Therefore, the day after Leiv bought the mutated seeds, he planted them in the greenhouse of the garden early in the morning.

For safety's sake, Leiv plans to cultivate the seedlings in the greenhouse first, and then transplant them to the wizard tower.

There is also a large open space outside the wizard tower.

Leiv plans to build a greenhouse there too.

In the future, if there are any dangerous plants, they will be planted there.

After all, Dumbledore still comes to the safe house from time to time to visit them.

Planting in the garden of the safe house is actually not safe.

Now, Leiv planting mandrakes or something is not too dangerous, Dumbledore can still turn a blind eye.

In case he wants to plant a Whomping Willow or something in the future... Dumbledore will definitely not ignore it.

Leiv doesn't want the new varieties he has worked so hard to cultivate to be confiscated because of some dangers.

...

A week passed in a flash.

Time soon came to the end of July.

During this period, although the quality of the goods refreshed by the system was good, they were not what Leiv urgently needed, so Leiv did not waste merit points.

During this period, Leiv was busy taking care of his "vegetable garden" every day...

That's what Tom calls the place where Leiv plants magical plants.

Only in his spare time will he read books and study spells and transfiguration.

Of course, because the books he reads are all produced by the system and disguised as novels.

Therefore, in Tom's view, Leiv's few hours of study time have also become idleness...

How can there be a diligent and studious wizard who, besides "planting vegetables", reads "novels" every day?

However, Tom was secretly happy to see Leiv slacking off.

Then, in his heart, he shouted, "Keep slacking! Just keep slacking! I will definitely catch up to you in the shortest amount of time! When that happens, I'll be on top! And you'll be on the bottom… I'm talking about status!"

Leif Ericson was unaware of Tom's inner thoughts, as he was busy focusing on taking care of that mutated Venomous Geranium seed.

The growth rate of that mutated seed was much slower than Leif Ericson had imagined.

Even with the help of nutrient solution, it only managed to sprout a small bud after a week…

It was completely different from the Man-Eating Cabbage, which could grow quickly with the help of nutrient solution!

Since the seedling was still small, the mutated Venomous Geranium didn't seem to be any different from a regular Venomous Geranium for the time being.

However, now that the seedling was considered strong, Leif Ericson planned to transplant it back to the Wizard's Tower in two days.

During this week, Leif Ericson had already asked Toby to build a greenhouse at the Wizard's Tower that was similar in size and specifications to the one here.

House-elves were incredibly professional at this kind of work…

Flawless, without a single mistake!

As for this place, all that was needed was to maintain daily watering and pouring some nutrient solution.

…

"Tom! Run! We need to water all the land before 3:00 PM!"

Leif Ericson, holding a set of herbology tools, used the levitation charm from upstairs and flew down amidst a cloud of dark smoke.

And Tom Cat, carrying two large iron buckets filled with nutrient solution, followed Leif Ericson, thumping down the stairs…

Yes, this guy was becoming more and more like a human, and his strength seemed to be considerable too, as he could carry a bucket weighing more than twenty pounds in each hand and run very fast.

However, while carrying the buckets and running, some nutrient solution inevitably spilled…

So, Tom, who was sitting in the living room reading, was directly doused with nutrient solution!

"You bastard! You…"

Tom didn't even finish his curse.

Leif Ericson waved his wand, "Scourgify!"

"Ugh…" Tom couldn't speak.

"Tom, why are you being so fierce to it? It's just a cute little kitty! How could it have any bad intentions?"

Tom Cat hid behind Leif Ericson, baring his sharp teeth and nodding in agreement.

"Ptooey!" Tom spat out a mouthful of bubbles that tasted like detergent with difficulty, "You… whether it's cute or not is another matter! Why did your cleaning spell fill my mouth with foam!"

"Sorry, I haven't practiced much recently, my spells are a bit rusty… Enough said, we should get to work!" Leif Ericson said, then took the cat and ran off in a puff of smoke.

Tom looked at Leif Ericson with a livid expression. Rusty spells? I don't believe you!

A wizard who spends all day researching magic is now busy planting crops?

I want to see what the hell you're planting all day long!

Tom grabbed his wand fiercely and followed.

Leif Ericson's greenhouse was in the corner of the garden.

Tom slowly walked over, planning to peek inside quietly after opening the door.

As soon as he approached, he heard Leif Ericson's anxious voice.

"No… Tom, what exactly did you water it with! Is this nutrient solution? Hiss… Holy crap? No way! You incompetent fool! You grabbed the wrong thing…"

Just as Tom was curious about why Leif Ericson was so anxious, and as he opened the greenhouse door.

A red shadow swooshed past his face!

Tom only felt a chill on half of his head…

Before he could even reach out to touch his head, he was shocked to discover that in front of Leif Ericson and his cat, there was a strange-looking plant growing!

Moreover… the leaves of this plant were standing upright, and the petals were open, turning outwards, like a large mouth full of sharp teeth!

Most ridiculously, the "teeth" in this big mouth were constantly firing rapidly in Leif Ericson's direction!

"Thud, thud, thud!"

Almost all the "teeth" were blocked by Leif Ericson's Protego… except for a very few that slipped through…

And Tom's situation just now was purely an innocent disaster… because Leif Ericson was standing with his back to the greenhouse door!

"Leif Ericson! What the hell are you doing again!" Tom was numb.

Recalling that red shadow just now, without a doubt, that was also a "tooth"!

If it had shifted just a little bit more to the left, his face would have been hit! He would be disfigured if he didn't die!

Tom immediately cast Protego on himself, and then retreated from the greenhouse, full of lingering fear!

As he retreated from the greenhouse and closed the door, there were still a few "teeth" nailed to the greenhouse door!

"Petrificus Totalus!" Following Leif Ericson's incantation.

The "thud, thud, thud" sounds in the greenhouse immediately disappeared.

Leif Ericson and Tom Cat wiped their sweat while walking out of the greenhouse, still shaken.

"Leif Ericson! What exactly are you doing!"

"Sorry! Tom, I… Pfft!" Leif Ericson burst out laughing after seeing Tom's appearance.

"What are you laughing at?"

"Tom, nice hairstyle!" Leif Ericson laughed.

"Hairstyle?"

Tom suspiciously went to a water tank next to him to take a look.

In the reflection of the water's surface, Tom's originally flowing black hair had actually been shaved off on one side!

"Huh? My… where's my hair? Holy crap! Where's my hair! Leif Ericson! I'm going to fight you!"
