"Hiss hiss hiss…"
Nagini, coiled around Wade's wrist, raised her head and hissed sothing.
Tom listened for a mont, then couldn't help but laugh. "Nagini says, don't beco soone like Grindelwald."
"Thanks for the translation, Tom, but I can understand her."
Wade raised his hand and looked into Nagini's lifted eyes. "Don't worry, while I'm not exactly a good person, I'll never beco soone like Grindelwald. Because I know very well that if I beco soone everyone wants to hunt down, then no matter how great my ideals are, I won't accomplish a thing. On this point, I have no need to deceive you."
Nagini: "Hiss hiss hiss Hissss…"
Wade turned to Tom and said, "Tom, help translate that."
Tom shot him a sideways glance. "Didn't you just say you didn't need to translate?"
"Well… she's saying too much this ti…" Wade replied, looking a little embarrassed.
"She said: she's very worried about us. The matter at the goblin camp was started by the goblins themselves, so counterattacking isn't a problem, but we should have reported it to Professor Dumbledore afterward and let him handle it. She says it was too risky for the two of us to go alone, and also… at our young age, we must never abuse dark magic. She has seen many wizards whose personalities changed drastically because they beca addicted to dark magic… And finally, never beco soone like Grindelwald."
Wade sighed and said, "Alright, I can promise that I won't be the one to use dark magic first. But… if the enemy uses it first…"
A glint of cold light flashed in Wade's eyes.
Tom added, "I agree with that. At most, I can only promise not to use it first."
Wade gave Tom a surprised look.
The future Voldemort, who treated the Killing Curse like a basic spell, was actually claiming he wouldn't use dark magic first?
"Hiss…" Nagini lowered her head and fell silent.
Wade looked at Tom again in confusion. "I didn't understand that word just now. What did she say?"
"She didn't say anything… just… sighed," Tom replied.
Wade understood too—Nagini was looking out for the two of them, but…
He helplessly raised his hand and said to Nagini, "We can't just sit there and not fight back when we're attacked. So, not using it first is already our bottom line."
Nagini nodded and said no more.
She understood as well—children like Wade and Tom, whose strength and intelligence far surpassed others of their age, were destined for extraordinary paths in the future.
And if they wanted to accomplish sothing great, things that couldn't be shared openly with outsiders would surely happen often.
Just like this ti: after learning the goblins' intentions, instead of informing Dumbledore, they had chosen to seize the opportunity and try to obtain that mysterious power capable of making them stronger, ahead of the goblins.
Though Nagini didn't quite approve of their approach, given her own current state, what else could she do besides doing her utmost to keep these two children safe?
By the ti Wade and Tom slowly reached the end of the passage, the intense emotions from their first kill had also largely settled.
Wade stopped in front of the secret door and said, "As I said before, Tom… I need your strength. Are you willing to let your power work for ?"
Tom was silent for a while, then said, "To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that I can't beat you… I…"
"Heh~ You can challenge anyti, Tom. If one day, you're able to defeat , then… wouldn't it be fine if things were reversed?" Wade said with a smile.
Tom's breathing grew heavier. "Rember what you said today, Wade…"
"I'm very much looking forward to it..."
...
By the ti they returned to the dormitory, it was already past three in the morning.
Alphard and Henry were still sound asleep.
At their age, children naturally loved to sleep. Even Tom, who had just returned, looked thoroughly exhausted.
He had impulsively decided to follow along, unlike Wade, who had taken a proper nap beforehand and gone out fully rested.
Wade quietly sat back down on his bed.
Suddenly, he noticed that there was a small origami crane gently flapping its wings on the nightstand.
Hmm?
Wade reached out, and the crane automatically flew into his hand, then unfolded itself into a piece of parchnt.
Other than a dozen or so nas written on it, there was no other information.
"What's that?" Tom asked softly.
Wade casually handed the parchnt over. "So people who need to be taught a lesson."
Looking at the list of pure-blood wizard nas on the paper, Tom frowned. "Do you have a plan?"
Wade raised his eyebrows slightly. "To deal with these people… do we need a plan?"
Tom thought about it and agreed.
Tonight, Wade had taken down several elite mbers of the Alliance.
Did they really need a plan just to beat up these small fry?
Never mind Wade—even Tom himself felt confident he could make them cry out for their mothers.
"Why are we suddenly teaching them a lesson?" Tom asked.
"Andrei told , Saturday night, they're planning to attack Charlie and Anne in their dormitories."
A flash of anger crossed Tom's face. "Those bastards, they actually dare to bully our people? Aren't they afraid?"
"They think that as long as they act carefully, we won't know exactly who did it. So of course, they aren't afraid of retaliation," Wade sneered coldly.
Tom suddenly understood. These people didn't know Wade had plenty of ways to make them spill the truth, so they thought they were safe.
In fact, while they knew Wade was strong, they had no idea he was this strong...
"Since we know they're going to attack our people, there's no need for us to show any rcy," Wade said calmly.
If it were anyone else, upon learning that soone was planning to attack their people, their first thought would definitely be how to defend.
But Wade was different. He preferred to deal with the troublemakers first.
That was why he had asked Andrei to provide him with the nas of those people.
"Mm... they really do need a good beating," Tom agreed as well.
They were already planning to beat this group into submission, and now, before they'd even made a move, the other side had co knocking on their door.
Well then, perfect. Wade and the others could strike back imdiately, without a hint of guilt.
After chatting a bit more, Tom couldn't hold out any longer and drifted off to sleep.
Seeing Tom asleep, Wade also lay back down on his own bed.
Before falling asleep, Wade habitually opened his system interface.
Earlier during the fight, he had muted the system notifications because they were too noisy.
Now, he wanted to see just how many rit points he had earned tonight.
Along the way, he also habitually checked if any good items had refreshed today.
[Item One: Elation Potion 50ml (Unlocked) – 20 rit Points]
[Item Two: Complete Collection of Beginner Potion Recipes (Unlocked) – 5000 rit Points]
[Next Refresh Countdown: 20 hours 47 minutes 50 seconds]
[rit Points: 9500]
[Dark Lord Achievent: Not Achieved]
[Progress to Upgrade: 9500/20000]
Wade rubbed his eyes, and his gaze landed directly on the second item.
Finally, sothing worthwhile!
The description of this Complete Collection of Beginner Potion Recipes was also very straightforward.
[Complete Collection of Beginner Potion Recipes: Contains all beginner-level potion recipes that have appeared in the wizarding world throughout history, along with detailed brewing procedures. (Recipe levels are rated according to the system's standards.)]
Wade felt a bit puzzled. For just a beginner-level potion recipe collection, why was it priced so much higher than the previous Complete Guide to Transfiguration?
That Complete Guide to Transfiguration contained the insights and experiences of all Transfiguration masters, and it had only cost 1000 rit Points.
But this Complete Collection of Beginner Potion Recipes was selling for 5000? What justified that price?
After thinking for a mont, Wade still decided to buy the book.
Even though this purchase would delay the system upgrade, since it had finally appeared, he wasn't going to pass it up.
Besides, Wade was genuinely curious why this book was priced at 5000, so he didn't plan to lock it in for later.
Anyway, just tonight, after fighting a battle and taking out a few mbers of the Alliance and a dozen goblins, he had already earned several thousand rit Points.
There were so many evil people in the world, aning there would be plenty of rit Points to earn in the future. Delaying the upgrade a bit was no big deal.
"Purchase Complete Collection of Beginner Potion Recipes…"
After a few quick operations, his balance of 9500 rit Points instantly shrank by more than half, dropping to 4500.
