Hogwarts: This Dark Lord is so evil

The magic system in this world is based on idealism.

The use of every spell encompasses the wizard's emotions and intentions at the time.

Therefore, in the final analysis, the essence of magic in this world is actually a certain degree of "wish fulfillment."

So, truly powerful wizards often don't need to use spells to cast magic.

Of course, when they chant spells, their emotions and intentions will reach the highest level, and the power of magic will be maximized as a result.

For example, Tom in the future using the Killing Curse as a basic attack…

However, for Tom at that time, loudly chanting the incantation of the Killing Curse, in addition to enhancing the power of the spell, was also a kind of deterrent to others.

At this time, Levid lay on the recliner, entering the previous state of meditation again.

But this time, he no longer deliberately tried to restrain those cluttered thoughts, but silently felt the "energy" called magic in his body.

"I need inner peace, without distracting thoughts," Levid thought.

Then, he felt the magic in his body seemed to move, and then again, seemed not to move.

Just as Levid was about to try again, suddenly, he only felt a peace in his heart, and all the distracting thoughts disappeared in an instant!

That feeling was very strange, like being in a bustling city, when suddenly all the surrounding sounds disappeared, everything seemed quiet, leaving only your own breathing and heartbeat.

Levid was surprised to feel all these changes, but then he felt a little strange again.

Clearly, he was still thinking, so why was his heart free of distracting thoughts? Isn't this a contradiction?

It's like someone testing your breath, discovering you're not breathing at all, but you can clearly feel yourself breathing!

Why can't others detect that you are breathing?

Before long, Levid figured out the reason.

It turned out that his distracting thoughts had not disappeared, and his thinking had not stopped.

They were just hidden!

Why would this happen?

Because magic can achieve the wizard's will.

Therefore, in order to fulfill Levid's desire to achieve a state of mind without distractions, Levid's magic had to hide the distracting thoughts that Levid simply could not remove.

Then, it helped Levid create a brain without memory or any traces of thought, replacing the original brain.

In other words, the memories and thoughts presented in this fake brain are what Levid needs others to see, and they are all false.

And the real brain is locked behind the door.

Only at this moment did Levid truly understand the operating principle of Occlumency, and successfully reached the first stage of Occlumency.

That is to hide all of one's memories and true thoughts.

Without much delay, Levid began to try the second stage.

He began to expand the size of the new "brain", so that false thoughts and memories firmly wrapped his real thoughts and memories.

Then, Levid began to try to communicate with the false and real "brains".

Then, he secretly transmitted the false thoughts and memories produced by the real brain to the fake brain…

In that instant, the rigid false thoughts and memories in the fake brain suddenly came to life!

Indistinguishable from real memories and thoughts!

In other words, Levid can now change the memories and thoughts in his brain at any time.

What others pry into can only be what Levid wants them to see.

I don't know how long it took, but when Levid opened his eyes, the sky was completely dark.

After carefully feeling his state, Levid felt extremely satisfied. Without a doubt, he had truly learned Occlumency.

That feeling… is a bit indescribable.

It's like putting on a pair of sunglasses.

If others want to see your eyes, they can only see the dark lenses, but your eyes can see others normally through the lenses…

Although his Occlumency is only just beginning, it is completely sufficient to deal with Queenie's passively activated Legilimency.

Thinking of this, Levid couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"You're awake? You slept really long," Tom looked at Levid suspiciously.

He almost thought Levid had slept to death.

"Oh, I stayed up late reading last night, so I'm very tired today."

"But didn't you go to bed very early last night?"

"Couldn't sleep, so I read a book," Levid said casually.

At this time, Toby had brought over the dinner specially reserved for Levid.

"Levid, you'll get used to it slowly. I used to be like that, always unable to sleep because I wasn't used to going to a new place," Professor Hicks said with a smile.

She still thought that Levid couldn't sleep at night because he wasn't used to it.

"Yes, I will try to get used to it," Levid nodded with a serious face.

Levid suddenly discovered that after mastering Occlumency, his acting skills seemed to have also improved.

The false expression, coupled with the appropriate false emotions, is simply seamless…

Occlumency can bring such an increase to acting skills.

No wonder Professor Snape in the future was able to work as a spy under Tom's nose, without exposing his identity until the day he sacrificed himself.

Levid, who hadn't eaten much all day, was indeed hungry.

After wolfing down dinner, he told Professor Hicks again that he felt tired and wanted to rest.

Tom looked at Levid with the look in his eyes as if he were looking at a pig.

How could anyone sleep for such a long time every day?

The guy has suddenly become so lazy, isn't he afraid that his strength will surpass him, and then he will be retaliated against?

However, what Tom didn't know was that Levid said he was sleepy last night was fake, but now saying he was sleepy was real.

In order to learn Occlumency, he had spent a lot of energy and really needed to rest well.

Closing the door again, Levid sat on the bed and opened the system store.

He didn't have time to look at it last night, and if he didn't look at it now, it wouldn't be good if good things were refreshed at dawn.

【Item 1: Felix Felicis 10ml (Unbound) 500 Merit Points】

【Item 2: Unicorn Hair Strand (Unbound) 5 Merit Points】

【Refresh Time Countdown: 5 hours 21 minutes 55 seconds】

【Merit Points: 100 Points】

【Dark Lord Achievement: Not Achieved】

Levid saw the bottle of Felix Felicis at a glance.

This is a good thing!

After taking it, it can increase one's luck! Moreover, the difficulty of brewing it is also very high.

Even a Potions Master, who can guarantee the success rate, would need to spend at least about half a year from the start of making it to getting the finished product!

Levid really wanted to buy the Felix Felicis, whether for his own use or to sell, it would be very good.

But now he didn't have enough merit points, so Levid had to lock the Felix Felicis first.

As for the other item, Unicorn Hair, Levid did not waste merit points on it.

After closing the system store page, Levid gradually felt a strong sense of drowsiness.

The side effects of the Energy Potion, coupled with the excessive consumption of energy itself, Levid couldn't hold on anymore, and soon fell into a deep sleep.

…

This sleep was very uneasy. Levid vaguely felt that he had come to a very strange place.

That place was a vast expanse of white, like being shrouded in a thick fog.

And in the fog, a dark figure whose appearance could not be seen was waving at him, the dark figure's lips were moving, as if he was urgently saying something to him.

Unable to hear the dark figure's words clearly, Levid couldn't help but feel a little anxious, moving his legs, which had become very heavy for some reason, staggering forward.

Suddenly, Levid accidentally tripped over something, and everything around him began to collapse and disappear, and even the dark figure was gradually fading away…

Levid wanted to open his mouth to ask him who he was, but was surprised to find that he couldn't open his mouth!

Just then, he suddenly heard someone calling him from behind.

Just as he turned his head to see who was calling him, everything in front of him suddenly disappeared.

Toby's terrified expression suddenly appeared in front of him…

“…Young Master Levid! Wake up quickly! Young Master Levid has to leave! Toby has to take Young Master Levid and Young Master Tom away! Someone… someone is attacking us!”

Levid woke up suddenly, and at the same time, the noisy sounds from outside also came in!

There were crackling sounds of spellcasting, as well as various shouts, curses, and slogans…

One of them, Levid felt particularly familiar—"For the Greater Good!"
