Will you get a reward for tricking me?
After abandoning his fearless arrogance and handing over the experiments to the senior, Levitra's life suddenly became much easier.
Besides secretly searching for ancient magic hotspots at night to enhance his ancient magic power, he read and studied.
The senior was right.
At this moment, the first thing he had to do was to make up for his weak magical knowledge.
Only in this way, any experiments or research he would do in the future would be meaningful.
Otherwise, without much accumulation, no matter how much research and experiments he did, he would only get the basics.
Tom was amazed at the change in Levitra.
This guy who used to disappear after class was now going to the library!
Moreover, Nagini, who he used to take care of, was brought back to him.
In other words, it seemed that his secret activities, except for the night outings, had all stopped.
However, Levitra's reading speed was still as fast as before.
Their learning efficiency was as enviable as ever...and besides, Li Weide had broken his usual habit of disappearing and had begun to focus on studying.
Annie's transformation also alarmed Tom.
Tom could sense the pressure Annie was exerting growing stronger with each passing day!
Her strength grew significantly stronger with every passing day!
This rate of growth astounded Tom.
Li Weide's so-called "fake medicine" was truly remarkable!
Tom was already tempted.
If strength could increase so rapidly... a few side effects wouldn't be a problem...
However, seeing Li Weide's steady self every day, Tom suppressed his inner turmoil.
He knew that Li Weide, like him, was just as eager to increase his strength.
However, the fact that Li Weide so readily gave Annie that "fake" product that could quickly increase his strength, while not even touching it himself, was clear evidence that it was anything but good!
After spending so much time with Levid, having suffered so many setbacks...
Tom understood one thing deeply: as long as he followed Levid's lead, doing whatever he did and not doing what he didn't do, nothing would go wrong!
Because Levid never did anything he wasn't sure of!
And Tom, coincidentally, was also very cautious... especially when it came to his own life...
Thus, the days passed.
Soon, it was the end of December.
Christmas was approaching,and Hogwarts gradually took on a more cheerful atmosphere.
"Those who wish to stay on campus for Christmas can come and get their application forms,"Professor McGonagall announced loudly in the hall's teacher's booth that morning , holding a stack of application forms.
Several young wizards immediately stepped forward to collect them.
Tom and Levid remained motionless.
They watched silently as Annie ran up. "Hasn't she had enough?"
Tom whispered in surprise.
"Human desires are endless, Tom..." Levid said calmly.
"Meow!"
Tom the cat in Levid's arms stretched lazily. "But if she doesn't go back by Christmas... then our plan..."
"Don't worry, she will. It's the end of the year, why wouldn't she report back?
Even if she doesn't want to, her aunt won't agree," Levid said with a smile.
"As soon as she goes back, her increased strength won't be hidden from Grindelwald..."
"So... after she comes back by Christmas... no, maybe we won't even have to wait until Christmas, Grindelwald will start to act... But how will you lure them into the trap step by step?"
Tom asked.
"In the locations she's looking for, in addition to some 'fakes', I also placed some incomplete manuscripts...
Now, these manuscripts should be in Anne's hands.
This information will gradually lead them to where I want them to go..." Hearing this, Tom stopped asking questions and focused on his meal.
"Tom, why did you suddenly stop asking?"
"You've considered everything anyway, so there's no point in me asking," Tom said very clearly.
In truth, he was afraid that asking too many questions would irritate Levitra and set him off again...
Tom was also distressed.
Ever since he met Levitra, this guy had been thinking about setting him off all the time... He didn't know why...
Could it be that by setting him off, he could get some reward?
Tom pondered this as he vigorously cut open a fried egg with his dinner knife... "It doesn't hurt to ask more about the plan... No matter how thorough my thoughts are, there might be omissions.
I need your help, Tom," Levitra said gently.
"You can help me find and fill in any gaps..."
Tom curled his lips at this. You've already laid out everything, and now you 're asking me to fill in any gaps?
However, after careful consideration, Tom said, "At the moment, your plan doesn't seem to have any loopholes... If you've already arranged everything, then all we need to do is wait and see."
"Okay, I trust your judgment, Tom..." Levitra smiled.
"Hmm?
Wait!"
Tom looked at Levitra warily.
"...If the plan fails, you're not going to put the blame on me, are you?!"
He had just expressed his opinion.
Levitra said he trusted his own judgment?
If it failed, wouldn't it be his fault, misleading him? No wonder Tom was so wary.
In Tom's impression, Levitra was really capable of such a thing!
"Tom...how can you always look at me like this?
We're close friends! How could I blame you for the failure?"
Levitra shook his head and sighed. "Unless you promise that if it fails, it won't be my fault!" Tom said warily.
Levitra sighed again and made a promise.
"Okay, I promise, even if the plan fails, it won't be Tom's fault...I won't hold Tom responsible."
Hearing this, Tom finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Seeing Tom like this, Levitra couldn't help but pat the head of the cat in his arms.
This kid's getting harder and harder to fool...
But... I promised, but... I didn't say which Tom it was.
"Hey, you two, why are you always flirting with each other over breakfast?"
Annie had been keeping an eye on them for a while since she returned.
They were using a whisper spell to communicate, but to others, wouldn't that just be flirting?
"Tsk!
That's disgusting, Annie! What's going on in your head?"
Tom glared at Annie with disdain.
"What?
Come on, fight me!"
Annie looked at Tom, her eyes etched with fighting intent.
Tom turned away from her.
You're kidding... Only a fool would fight a strengthened Annie!
Levitra remained calm.
"Actually, we're trying to communicate with our minds."
"Telepathy?
Can that be done?"
Annie asked curiously.
"Not necessarily, but we can try.
Isn't the emergence of many new magics the result of repeated attempts at thinking and thinking?"
Levitra smiled.
"Oh, so... did you succeed?"
"Not yet.
Are you interested?
You can join us."
"No... I'm not interested..." Annie waved her hands.
How could a girl like her flirt with two boys?
"What a shame, Annie! Now you won't be listed as the inventor of this new spell."
Annie thought Levitra was joking.
But Tom thought he heard a pun.
Doesn't this mean that Anne betrayed Levid, and now she has no place in the team?!
Tsk, Levid, this guy, really... such a guy, Dumbledore actually thinks he's a good person!
"By the way, are you two going away from school for Christmas vacation?"
Anne asked.
"Yes... I promised Tom I'd go on something with him," Levid said casually.
Tom was slightly taken aback.
"You want to come with me?"
"Of course, didn't we agree on this a long time ago?"
Levid said.
Tom was silent.
He planned to visit his mother's family during the Christmas vacation.
But Levid kept saying that his mother's family might not be as good as he imagined...
Could it be... really as bad as he said?
But Levid had a point... If his mother's family was really good,then why would a witch choose to die on the doorstep of a Muggle orphanage instead of going home?
For a moment, Tom felt completely overwhelmed...
Suddenly, a hand rested on his shoulder.
"No matter what, we have to face it.
And, with me here, you don't have to worry about your safety," Levid said gently.
"Why do I feel like the biggest danger comes from you?"
"Oh, you say that again. It's so sad."
Since these words weren't whispered, Anne could hear them clearly.
"So what are you going to do during the holidays?
Why is it dangerous?"
Anne asked, puzzled.
"Nothing, just a little personal matter... But I noticed you just filled out the application to stay at school.
What? You're not planning on going back during the holidays?
" Levid casually changed the subject.
Sure enough, Anne, feeling guilty, immediately forgot to ask what the personal matter was.
"It's just... my aunt and the others are busy, so I have to stay at school," Anne explained vaguely.
"Oh... so..."
After breakfast, Anne left, a little worried that Levid and Tom would question her about staying at school during the holidays.
And... what if Levid and Tom invited her to their house for Christmas?
Technically, she shouldn't refuse.
But she really couldn't go!
Otherwise, wouldn't her purpose in reporting to Nurmengard about staying at school be in vain?
Returning to her dorm, Anne pulled out her contact notebook, intending to tell Nurmengard she wouldn't be returning for the holidays.
However, as soon as she opened the notebook in a specific way, she saw a message.
"Wade and Tom aren't at school during the holidays, so there's no point in you staying.
So, come back to Nurmengard for the holidays. I have many questions for you..."
This message sent Anne reeling.
Remember, she had just been trying to lie and say that Wade and Tom were at school during the holidays, so she had to stay too...
After all, she had already learned from Levi that Dumbledore valued Wade and Tom, even finding them a house with a Fidelius Charm.
This meant that Grindelwald probably didn't know whether Wade and Tom would be returning home for the holidays.
However, she was just a few minutes late... and it was a good thing she was late...because at that moment, the order arrived!
The order indicated that Grindelwald was well aware of Wade and Tom's whereabouts!
What if she had reported the lie before this message arrived?
Wouldn't that mean her entire existence would be exposed now?
The thought filled Anne with dread.
She sat alone, paralyzed in bed, a long moment of recovery.
Grindelwald knew about Wade and Tom's movements, which meant she no longer had an excuse to stay.
And now, she'd changed so much that even the ordinary students could see it.
Everyone assumed Wade had taught her so much, contributing to her recent strength.
How could Grindelwald not see it if he saw her?
Which meant... that secret he once possessed could no longer be his!
Anne picked up her quill and shakily wrote in her notebook.
"I understand. However, Wade plans to explore the Forbidden Forest again tonight, as a last-ditch effort before the holidays.
I think he has a pretty good chance this time!"
A moment later, a reply arrived.
"Okay, we'll cease all activities tonight. Also, be careful.
There's a strange presence in the Forbidden Forest.
Perhaps it only targets adult wizards or goblins, considering you've been so trouble-free for so long."
But you still have to be vigilant!
One of our goblin craftsmen has disappeared for no apparent reason, and everyone in the camp was asleep at the same time!]
Seeing this message, Anne felt a renewed sense of dread!
After all, she'd been going to the Forbidden Forest alone these past few days!
What if that strange being had set its sights on her... wouldn't she have been dead long ago?
Thinking of this, Anne quickly gave up her plan to go one last time tonight!
[I understand. I'll be careful.]
After closing the notebook, Anne took a deep breath before putting it back in the cabinet and locking it.
There was no time to delay any longer... until the early hours of tonight, she'd pretend she'd just returned from an expedition and report her findings to Nurmengard...
Evening.
In the corner of the common room,
Levid was sitting by the window, holding a cat, reading a book.
Suddenly, he felt Tom stiffen in his arms, then jump onto the table.
A familiar voice reached Levid's ears.
"I've put away all the 'remnants' you told me to, and exactly as you instructed."
It turned out that Tom Cat had been replaced by Senior Cat once again...
Levid glanced at Nagini, coiled beside him, and whispered, "Good, just in time.
If everything goes as I expected, Grindelwald's men will definitely become active by tonight or Christmas Eve at the latest..."
"By the way, how did you manage to release those powers into the Forbidden Forest, as I intended?
I was surprised when you told me to come.
After all, you only have your mind to wield them," Levid asked curiously.
"Have you forgotten?
There's another controlled goblin in your wizard tower.
I just need to attach my mind to him, and I'll be able to act freely.
It's just a matter of placing them in a few more places.
Even though the old goblin isn't in good health, it shouldn't be a big deal."
Upon hearing this, Levid marveled again at the terrifying power of the senior's nightmare magic...
In other words, if she had any ill intentions towards him, she could easily perform a similar "possession" operation!
"Hmm... your spell for whispering is quite interesting.
Are you guarding against that little snake?" the senior asked.
Levid pretended to flip through the book casually, not even glancing at the senior.
"Yes, she's a poor creature, a blood-cursed orc.
Now, she can only rely on my ancient magic of transfiguration to barely stay conscious."
The senior stared at Nagini with cat-like eyes.
Nagini didn't see anything wrong with this, as a Kneazle was usually wary of herself, fearing harm to her master.
"Yes, you're becoming increasingly proficient in ancient magic.
However, if my research goes well... perhaps you won't have to take such risks!"
"Have you made any progress?"
Levid asked excitedly.
"Some progress... Based on the emotional profile you gave me last time, I have an idea... And that old goblin craftsman is indeed quite capable.
He seems to be able to use goblin metal to create a tool that can compress 'residues'!"
