Hogwarts: This Dark Lord is so evil

After Dumbledore left, Tom also returned to his room to pack his things.

Naturally, Leif wasn't idle either.

He didn't have many belongings to begin with, not even extra clothes.

However, after owls from Diagon Alley delivered the goods he had bought, his possessions suddenly increased.

Leif found a large bag and packed all these things into it.

Then, he picked up 'A Comprehensive Guide to Basic Spells' and began to read quietly.

Perhaps because he had drunk some physique-enhancing potions in Diagon Alley, he didn't feel sleepy at all, even until midnight.

"Ding! Hourly report, midnight, zero minutes, new items have appeared in the store!"

Suddenly, a familiar notification sounded in his mind.

Leif put down the spellbook and looked at the system shop as usual.

Speaking of which, the system shop hadn't offered any items that Leif could use now for a long time, and he wondered if there would be any surprises tonight.

[Item 1: 'A Comprehensive Guide to Transfiguration' (Unsecured) 1000 Merit Points]

[Item 2: House-Elf Butler (Unsecured) 300 Merit Points]

[Refresh Time Countdown: 23 hours 59 minutes 35 seconds]

[Merit Points: 1400 points]

[Dark Lord Achievement: Not Achieved]

"Finally, something good!" Leif looked at the two items with joy.

[A Comprehensive Guide to Transfiguration: This book records all the basic knowledge of Transfiguration, and includes the insights and experiences of all Transfiguration masters from ancient times to the present.]

Leif looked at the system description with some shock.

Includes the insights and experiences of all Transfiguration masters from ancient times to the present?

No wonder it's just a book, but it's worth 1000 merit points!

Leif turned his gaze to the next item.

[House-Elf Butler: An experienced house-elf, formerly serving a pure-blood dark wizard family. Because the last member of the family passed away half a month ago, the house-elf tragically gained freedom. Once the host chooses to purchase, the house-elf's master will become the host, and he will never betray them.]

This is the first time that a living creature has appeared among the system's items!

However, Leif was still satisfied with this "item". Who wouldn't want to have an experienced house-elf?

This is a rare and helpful assistant!

Moreover, this house-elf is so cheap, requiring only 300 merit points.

Leif didn't hesitate and first bought 'A Comprehensive Guide to Transfiguration'. With his previous experience, he once again converted the book into a Simplified Chinese version.

The next second, a novel called 'The Count of Monte Cristo' appeared abruptly in his hand.

Obviously, this 'Comprehensive Guide to Transfiguration' also had the same disguise as 'A Comprehensive Guide to Basic Spells'!

Leif put the book away and began to buy the second item.

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully purchasing a House-Elf Butler!"

"Ding! Please find the house-elf!"

As the system prompt ended, a semi-transparent small map appeared in Leif's vision.

There was a very conspicuous red dot and a small arrow on the map.

After carefully observing it, Leif understood.

The small arrow represents himself, and the red dot should be the location of the house-elf.

Leif discovered that the red dot was not far from him.

It's just that the red dot was marked on the map without moving, which made Leif a little strange.

Could it be that the house-elf is sleeping? Otherwise, why wouldn't it move?

However, Leif didn't waste any time, grabbed a kerosene lamp, and quietly left the orphanage.

Comparing the map, Leif walked along the muddy main street for about two hundred meters to the east, then turned into a small alley next to it.

This alley was narrow and dirty, constantly emitting a nauseating stench.

Leif stepped on the ground full of puddles, one foot deep and one foot shallow, and walked to the end of the alley.

In the dim light of the kerosene lamp, Leif saw a tattered trash can.

And next to the trash can, there seemed to be a small figure lying there.

"Ding! The host has arrived at the house-elf's side."

As the system prompt ended, the small map in Leif's perspective also disappeared.

Leif put down the dim kerosene lamp and took out his wand from his pocket.

"Lumos!"

The light emitted from the tip of the wand illuminated the dark alley.

He saw a dying house-elf lying on the ground.

He was draped in a tattered rag that was so dirty that its original color could no longer be seen, and his tennis ball-sized eyes were tightly closed.

Leif noticed that there were injuries of varying degrees on his face and body.

It seemed that he had just been attacked with a sharp weapon not long ago, and he looked like he had fainted from excessive blood loss.

With such serious injuries, this house-elf hadn't died from excessive blood loss, but was still clinging to life, not dead yet.

Leif guessed that it should be because after he bought the item, the power of the system temporarily held his life.

No wonder it's so cheap. It turns out that he only has half a life left...

Thinking of this, Leif didn't delay. First, he used a cleaning spell to clean the dirt from the house-elf's wounds.

Then, he took out the dittany he had exchanged from the system before and carefully sprinkled it on his wounds.

The dittany produced by the system was indeed very effective. As soon as it landed on his wounds, those wounds began to heal quickly!

After treating the wounds, Leif took out the remaining bottle of potion he had drunk today.

Because the effect of this potion was to replenish energy and temporarily enhance physique, Leif wouldn't be as tired as Tom when he walked back today.

However, it seemed to be useful now.

Leif held the wand in his mouth, and under the light of the wand, one hand lifted the little elf's head, while the other hand slowly poured the remaining half bottle of potion into his mouth.

After a while.

"Cough, cough..." The house-elf slowly opened his bloodshot eyes and saw Leif close at hand at first glance.

"Kind sir... did you save Toby's life?"

Toby struggled to sit up, looking in surprise at the injuries on his body that had already healed.

When he looked at Leif again, his eyes were full of fervor.

"Yes, I found you lying here, covered in injuries. So I gave you some basic treatment," Leif said calmly, taking the wand out of his mouth.

"Thank you, kind sir. But Toby is a shameful elf, not worth the kind sir wasting potion to heal, because he is free..."

Toby couldn't help but sob sadly as he said this.

"Although, it's not Toby's fault, Toby's last master died in a duel..."

"Toby was confused and shamefully free... Kind sir, can you take Toby in?"

"My name is Leif, Leif Wade. If you are willing, I can become your new master," Leif replied calmly.

Of course, Leif wouldn't refuse Toby's allegiance. He wasn't Hermione.

Moreover, this cost him 300 merit points and two bottles of potion.

Toby struggled to get up and knelt on one knee in front of Leif.

"As you wish, Master Wade, from today onwards, Toby will become your most loyal servant, forever!"
