Hogwarts: This Dark Lord is so evil

"Yes, I had just entered the school when she graduated. It's a pity I didn't get to see her in person, but the senior students all saw her and know her story. They often told us about her..."

Dumbledore smiled and said, "Back then, many professors liked to use her as an example during their classes. She can be said to be a legend and role model of the academy."

Li Weide didn't actually feel too surprised by what Dumbledore said.

The things she did could indeed be called a legend of Hogwarts.

Dumbledore's time at school was very close to hers. When he was a student, even the professors hadn't changed much, so it's not strange at all that he would hear stories about her.

"So, you think it's a good thing that I possess this ability of ancient magic?" Li Weide asked tentatively.

"Of course, isn't that a good thing?" Dumbledore looked at Li Weide with some surprise. "It means that you also have the talent to do the same things she did. If Hogwarts could have a student like her while I was a professor, I would feel无比荣幸..."

Li Weide carefully considered his words and continued to ask, "But, ancient magic... such a powerful force, could there be any side effects?"

"Side effects? In fact, in history, you two are not the only ones who can use ancient magic. If there really were any side effects, people should have discovered them long ago... Why do you think so?"

Dumbledore couldn't understand why Li Weide still looked worried after learning about his special ability.

Li Weide looked at his hand, recalling the feeling of joy that the use of ancient magic had brought him just now, and suddenly wanted to risk revealing something to Dumbledore...

If successful, he would gain Dumbledore's utmost trust, and also get more guidance from him regarding ancient magic! He wouldn't have to waste time exploring it himself.

Of course, if he failed, Dumbledore's impression of him would also completely change...

After weighing the pros and cons, Li Weide finally decided to take the risk, because if he succeeded, the benefits he would get from Dumbledore would be very great.

"When I use ancient magic, that feeling... makes me very happy, so happy that I can't wait to use all means to make my ancient magic power stronger..."

Li Weide looked up at Dumbledore, "It's like... this power is constantly tempting me, making my desire to become stronger infinitely magnified..."

"Professor, I know that I do have a pursuit of power, but... I really don't want to become a person who uses any means to pursue power! I don't want to be a slave to power! Because that might cause many innocent people to be hurt because of me!"

"If the reason for this feeling is not this power, but myself... then Professor, please teach me, how can I suppress this desire when using ancient magic?"

Dumbledore looked at Li Weide, his eyes gleaming with a strange light, "Weide... your words make me feel very gratified!"

"Ah?" Although Li Weide looked confused on the surface, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. He had taken the right risk.

"Many people are always unable to control themselves when they suddenly gain great power, and many people therefore go astray, and some people, even if they don't go astray because of this, will subconsciously pursue even greater power, even I was the same at the beginning..." Dumbledore's eyes were full of admiration, "I have never seen anyone who has just gained great power who would consider not how to enhance this great power, but reflect on themselves! Face their own desires!"

Dumbledore was truly moved this time. In fact, when he learned that Li Weide possessed the talent of ancient magic, he was considering how to persuade him to pay attention to the harm that excessive pursuit of power might bring.

Unexpectedly, he had already begun to face it himself, and he even asked him for advice very frankly!

How could this not make Dumbledore feel gratified and satisfied with this student?

To be honest, this child is simply sensible to the point of being distressing!

Of course, this is also due to the good impression Li Weide had left on him before. If Tom had said this to him... it might not have worked.

For Dumbledore, Tom was a very vigilant existence, and Dumbledore would not easily believe what he said.

In fact, if Li Weide hadn't taken the initiative to talk to him about these things, he would have had a trace of vigilance towards Li Weide that he hadn't had before.

After all, a child of this age, possessing the powerful power of ancient magic, is like a child walking in a busy city with a sharp blade...

"What should I do? If I never use this power again, will I be able to avoid the desire in my heart from being aroused?" Li Weide continued to ask.

Hearing Li Weide's question, Dumbledore felt even more relieved.

"It's not like that, Weide. In fact, every wizard hopes that their magic can be more effective and more powerful. In school, that means that every student hopes to learn more at Hogwarts, that is to say, becoming stronger is everyone's subconscious desire. This is unavoidable. So, it is not a sin to have a heart that pursues power."

Dumbledore said with a smile: "To some extent, the pursuit of power and the pursuit of progress are actually the same thing. Desire is an important factor in stimulating people's progress! If there is a desire for progress, it is also a sin, then we would be too sorry for all the efforts we have made for learning and progress."

"You were just asking me how to control this desire... In fact, I don't think you need to ask me anymore. Because when you asked me, it means that you have already controlled your desire."

"If you hadn't controlled it, then you would definitely not have said these words to me tonight."

"So, you can follow your own ideas and use this power with confidence, as long as you stick to your bottom line. You should be fearless."

No mistake, one first, one hair, one inside, one content, one at, one look!

"Power has always been a double-edged sword, the key is who is using this sword..."

"I am very happy that the person who now possesses this sharp sword is you, Weide. Only you can make me feel at ease."

Li Weide couldn't help but look at Dumbledore with some surprise. This time, his surprise was not acting.

Because Dumbledore's reaction was more intense than he expected.

Without a doubt, his adventurous attempt should have touched the soft spot in Dumbledore's heart.

'Ah... why do I always have a feeling that I have deceived Dumbledore?'

The words he said just now were all the truth, otherwise it couldn't be said to be an adventure.

Tsk, he was so sincere when he said those words just now that he didn't even use Occlumency much! Why is my conscience faintly aching?

"That is to say, ancient magic will not harm itself like dark magic, I can use it with confidence? I just need to pay attention to the bottom line?" Li Weide confirmed again.

"For you, that's true." Dumbledore nodded.

It has to be said that Dumbledore's words were also very rigorous, because he believed in Li Weide, so he added the sentence, 'For you'.

The meaning is, "I am relieved that you are wielding the sword, but I am not relieved if someone else does!"
