Rivendell bought the lighter for ten copper knuts.
The low price proved that Tom wasn't the only one who couldn't see the blue glow...
If everyone could see it, the price would definitely be much higher.
After Tom searched the second-hand bookstore for a few magical manuscripts, the two returned to the agreed meeting place.
Toby was already waiting there with his bags.
Then, as before, Toby took them all back to the Hog's Head.
After entering, Rivendell asked Aberforth about the lighter at the bar.
However, Aberforth couldn't see the blue glow either.
After listening to Rivendell's description, he suggested that Rivendell wait until Dumbledore came to show it to him.
Rivendell agreed. Dumbledore was well-versed in alchemy and would probably know something.
So, he put the lighter issue aside for the time being.
Dumbledore would be back soon anyway, so Rivendell wasn't in a hurry.
After returning to his room, Tom immediately picked up the book he had left and resumed reading.
Constantly striving to become stronger was Tom's ultimate pursuit now...
Meanwhile, Levid headed out, clutching the five old wands he had just purchased.
Having seen a fair amount of Dark magic in the Wizarding Tower last night, Levid wanted to pick out some interesting ones to try his hand at.
In the world of sleaze, one always needs some defensive tactics.
To practice Dark magic, one needed a secret place...
Levid already knew where this secret place was: on the first floor of the Wizarding Tower.
It had originally been used as a laboratory, but now the equipment had been sold off by the previous owner, leaving it bare.
It was a perfect place for Levid to practice Dark Magic freely.
Aberforth, noticing Levid's return and his departure with Toby, said nothing.
Dumbledore had previously told him that as long as Levid didn't do anything out of the ordinary, there was no need to interfere.
This showed Dumbledore's deep trust in Levid.
This was due to the good impression that Levander had left on Dumbledore before.
Of course, this was also the purpose of Levander trying his best to show off his acting skills in front of Dumbledore.
He didn't want to be like Tom in the original book, who had to be closely watched by Dumbledore no matter how well he performed in school, and could never be trusted.
This was because he didn't leave a good impression of being trustworthy with Dumbledore at the beginning!
Toby took Levander directly to the first floor of the wizard tower.
This place was completely different from what Levander had seen before.
The floor and the surrounding shelves were spotlessly clean, and the messy things had been completely cleared away.
It can be seen that Toby put a lot of effort into cleaning.
"Master Wade, if you need anything else, you can tell Toby directly."
Toby was delighted to be back in the Wizard Tower. For him, it truly felt like home.
"Well, I might need some sturdy targets for practicing Dark Magic," Levid said.
"Of course, we have them readily available," Toby said, snapping his fingers.
Five or six black, human-shaped targets appeared before them.
Levid patted the dark, human-shaped targets vigorously, feeling their solid texture.
Considering the Somnolen family's collection of books devoted entirely to Dark Magic...
it made sense that the targets used for practicing Magic here would be sturdier.
If they weren't, they wouldn't be able to withstand the Dark Magic bombardment of generations of family members.
But now, Levid had all these at his disposal.
Levid said with satisfaction, "Excellent, place these targets over there."
Toby snapped his fingers, and the heavy targets levitated, landing precisely where they were designated.
Having a house-elf to help him out certainly made things easier for Levid.
At this point, Li Wei De suddenly had an idea. "Toby, if I want to learn Apparition, can you help me?"
Toby nodded.
"Of course, but...
Master Wei De, if you want to learn Apparition, it's best to wait until you're older. You're still young, and if you force yourself to learn, the chances of splitting will greatly increase...
" Li Wei De immediately grasped the key point and eagerly pressed on.
"In other words, if I split, can you help me reattach my body?"
"Yes," Toby nodded.
"When Master Sophic first started practicing Apparition, it was Toby who assisted..."
"Excellent! Then I'll leave my safety to you, Toby!" Li Wei De patted Toby's shoulder happily.
A house elf would never lie to his master, so if Toby said he could help him practice Apparition, then he certainly could.
If he could master Apparition, he'd have another trump card, a way out if he ever faced a situation he couldn't handle.
Moreover, if he could truly master Apparition, this magic would be a tremendous aid in battle!
Hearing his master's trust in him, a flicker of ecstasy crossed Toby's face, but it was quickly replaced by worry.
"Master Wade, I'm deeply touched by your trust! But... but you're still young. Practicing Apparition at this age would be extremely dangerous..."
Toby continued to persuade Levid. While his presence would ensure Levid's life, why risk it now if he could avoid the fear of splitting?
Levid smiled, "With you here, I'm not worried at all."
"Oh... my master! Toby will do his utmost to help you learn Apparition!"
Toby screamed excitedly, even addressing him as "Master" instead of "Master Wade. "
It was clear how deeply Toby, the house-elf, was moved by Levid's casual words of trust...
Levid always believed that if you wanted others to help you wholeheartedly, you had to give them ample rewards.
If you want a horse to run fast, you have to let it eat enough grass.
For strange creatures like house-elves, a word of trust from their master is their best food!
"Master, do you want to practice Apparition now? Toby will prepare it right away!" Toby was shaking with excitement.
Levid originally wanted to say that he would learn it next time.
After all, he didn't plan to learn Apparition now, so he really had no preparation at all.
But now... the atmosphere has been set to this point, why not... give it a try?
Let's give it a try!
Apparition is much safer than those dark magics he wants to practice!
Moreover, after learning Apparition, he will not need Toby's help to go back and forth to the wizard tower in the future.
"Then come on!"
