Hogwarts: This Dark Lord is so evil

“Tom, you’re going the wrong way, you should go this way.”

Li Weide's words pulled Tom's thoughts back.

He had unknowingly repositioned himself in front of Tom.

“Sorry, I… I was just a little distracted…” Tom explained慌忙.

“Tom, your acting is too forced. If you want to appear submissive, you need to be more natural…” Li Weide patted Tom's shoulder meaningfully and turned to leave again.

Tom stood there stunned. Li Weide's words echoed in his ears like a bolt from the blue!

‘I'm too naive! Too presumptuous! My change is so abrupt, how could he not guess what I want to do?’

‘So… he's warning me! Telling me not to have any thoughts I shouldn't have!’

‘Knowing that I could turn on him at any time, he still doesn't care and lets me do as I please… Does he think I'm not even qualified to be a threat to him?’

‘Damn it! That arrogant bastard! How dare he? How dare he look down on me like that?!’

Tom's face was pale, his eyes full of humiliation, and even the veins on his neck bulged.

In fact, Tom understood Li Weide's thoughts the most, because before he met Li Weide, he thought the same way about others.

He believed that other people were mediocre fools who could not pose any threat to his extraordinary talents, which was why he was so domineering.

He just didn't expect that today, the person being regarded as a mortal had become himself…

He had never thought that one day he would become the despised “fool”!

Tom, who was hit hard by the “boomerang,” finally understood the feelings of those he had bullied…

“Ding! Detected that the host has caused a huge mental damage to the future Dark Lord, rewarding the host with 50 merit points.”

Ah… Tom, I'm starting to like you a little.

… …

Mrs. Cole was a gaunt, thin woman with a weary face.

The shadow of war gradually enveloped Europe, and with everyone in a state of panic, there were even fewer kind people who could donate money and goods to the orphanage.

Mrs. Cole didn't even know if the orphanage could survive for a few more months…

Managing dozens of orphans and ensuring they could barely have food and clothing in this current era exhausted her physically and mentally.

“Eric hasn't been feeling well all day today. God bless, please don't let it be chickenpox again… We're busy enough as it is. Billy looks like he's doing much better, remember to help him apply iodine to it tonight…” Mrs. Cole said, distributing food to a girl next to her who was dressed in rags and wearing an old apron.

Mrs. Cole quickly saw Li Weide and Tom, who were late. “Weide, are you getting used to it here? Tom, I just hope you don't use your tricks to bully Weide! Otherwise, you'll have to stay in the small dark room again!”

‘Who's bullying who!’

Tom pursed his lips and said nothing, just silently staring at the dinner that had just been handed to him…

A small portion of baked beans, a portion of mashed potatoes, a piece of bread, and a bowl of soup that he didn't know what it was made of.

“I'm getting used to it, Mrs. Cole… In fact, compared to the children who are still wandering outside and starving, I'm already very well off! If you hadn't brought me back from the street… I don't know what would have happened to me.” Li Weide looked at Mrs. Cole with a face full of gratitude. “I'm really very grateful…”

“You child… It turns out that it was right for me to bring you back. You've helped me a lot during this time. Hurry up and eat dinner, here, you take this…” A trace of a smile appeared on Mrs. Cole's tired face as she stuffed an egg into Li Weide's coat pocket…

Beside them, Tom glanced at his own meager dinner and then looked at Li Weide, who had an extra egg in his pocket and an extra apple on his plate, and suddenly felt what it meant to be different from person to person…

… …

Watching Li Weide sitting in the corner, slowly and deliberately peeling an egg, Tom couldn't help but hold his plate and sit opposite him.

“What help have you given that woman? Why does she treat you so differently?”

Li Weide carefully took out the yolk and said casually, “Maybe it's just because of my pretty face, as you said?”

Tom clenched the spoon in his hand, wanting to get angry but not daring to.

“Haha, just kidding. I'll give you half of the egg.” Li Weide used his own spoon to put half of the yolk into Tom's plate under Tom's disgusted gaze.

“I just did some small things within my ability… Of course, these small things just happened to be to her liking. In fact, you can do it too. It's just that you've always thought too highly of yourself and haven't been willing to do it.”

Tom disgustedly pushed the half of the yolk aside. “Hmph, I can't do things like deliberately pleasing others anyway…”

“Oh? Then who was it that was just being obsequious to me?” Li Weide laughed.

“I…” Tom's pale face rarely flushed red. “That's because you're stronger than me! I have to…”

“Hmm… Of course, of course, Tom, I didn't say you were wrong. In fact, in order to achieve your goals, occasionally saying a few nice words and doing a few small things for others within your ability isn't a big deal.”

Read without mistakes, first release, first content, first look!

Li Weide looked at the embarrassed Tom and suddenly laughed again, “Just like I please Mrs. Cole in order to get a good single room to facilitate my practice and research, and you please me in order to get a way to increase your strength from me, so you can take revenge on me…”

Tom felt like his breathing was about to stop. He hated this feeling of being easily seen through and being unable to help himself!

“Ding…”

After a series of system prompts, Li Weide received another 10 merit points as a reward.

… …

“Reparo!”

In his single room, Li Weide aimed at the door lock on the wooden door, which was covered with cracks, and chanted the spell with a special gesture.

“Tear…”

A slight metallic rubbing sound rang out, and the cracks on the metal door lock gradually disappeared!

Li Weide looked at the restored door lock with satisfaction.

《Complete Explanation of Low-Level Spells》 is indeed detailed enough. In addition to recording the evolution process of each spell from ancient times to the present, it even records the correct gestures for casting each spell wandlessly…

That's why Li Weide's repairing spell was so successful this time.

It can be said that after obtaining this book, Li Weide's research and practice speed has increased at least a hundredfold.

After spending 5 merit points to buy a bottle of Dittany, Li Weide now has 65 merit points left.

Li Weide was looking forward to what items the store page would refresh after twelve o'clock tonight.

Fortunately, there is a product locking function, otherwise, a balance of 65 points may not be enough.
