Chapter 454: The Reform of the Triwizard Tournament
‘This is too abstract. ’
Andrew looked at the document in his hand and felt bad.
What the hell is Karkaroff doing?
What does it mean that there are more than three magic schools in Europe? Calling the Triwizard Competition too bullying!
Are you going to create seventy-seven countries here, with a bunch of members on board?
Please, you still don’t want to die?
The new Moody can still keep an eye on him, but if you give me the students from Kodos Ryze Magic School, how can I check them!
Don’t you have any idea who is the number one target of hatred?
Besides, what's there to do? They want money but no money, they want foundation but no foundation. They have just made changes, where will they get the funds?
Andrew understands Karkaroff's ideas very well.
The reputation has been so bad that there is no way to save it, so why not invite someone who is even worse to compete with others?
Kodos Ryze Magic School has just suffered an incident, and the magic world is not in sufficient supply. The first thing to bring in is to show the good reputation of wizards helping wizards among pure bloods, the second is to ensure that the newcomers are at the bottom, and the third is to bring in High competition specifications.
‘But even the broomsticks are different from here. Why did you bring them here? Are you watching them play Quidditch with big trees? ’
Moreover, bringing people in is a lot of nonsense. You have to do it at the beginning. At least there is still room for negotiation. Then I will be busy with the OWLs exam. Who has time to chat with you?
Moreover, if Kodos Ryze is brought in, what about the other schools?
Beauxbatons Labrador, a wizard from Wagadu School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in Uganda, Castro Bushe, a traditional ally of Hogwarts Labrador?
There is also a rising star, Ilvermorny. The relationship between that side and this side is even more subtle, is it okay?
You can't just bring a whole family over just because you think about it, right?
And if the other party doesn’t provide the funds, then what’s the point?
"I don't quite agree. It's really no good to bring them in. Even if we give in, how can Beauxbatons convince them? The European Four Schools League sounds nice, but in fact it only provides some new magic. Props and some special magic materials," Andrew expressed his opinion after confirming that he had read the document carefully and found nothing missing. "My opinion is, reject it."
"What if there is a condition that is not in writing, Taylor?" Professor McGonagall said with a relaxed expression, "They decided to open an underground area during the Christmas holidays to the warriors from each school, and it will be in every session after the competition."
"Underground area?"
Andrew was stunned for a moment and began to recall the information.
Most of Kodos Doriz's buildings are located above the Mystic Lake and were founded in the 13th century by the Russian wizard Rasputin.
As for the underground area, at the bottom of the mysterious lake, the ancient holy spells and purification spells do not cover this area, so from time to time you can encounter some existences from the wizard war. Old ghosts and inferi often appear in the underground area...
Because it is too dangerous and there are some strange inheritances, ordinary students are not allowed to come and go at will.
‘Even our own students are not allowed to enter. Now it is open to the warriors of the three schools. Why don’t you also open the library...’
This is equivalent to Hogwarts opening the entire Forbidden Forest to outside schools - this is simply a joke.
'This ambition is too big...'
Although it was only given to the Warriors and not even Andrew, the price was indeed acceptable.
Durmstrang is not as urgently needed as Hogwarts - the Anti-Dark Arts course is much different from Hogwarts, which is a holy land for actual combat. A Christmas holiday will definitely improve the warriors quickly.
When the warriors gain experience, it is basically equivalent to a large number of students in the same college getting teachers who can explain it - the various colleges are still very united, and unless they encounter weird things occasionally, the effect of strengthening weaknesses is very good.
"If that's the case, I have no problem with it. Even if they don't have the money, they still deserve a seat."
What is the Triwizard Tournament? Times are progressing and Europe needs to be united. It is very reasonable to have four in the Triwizard Tournament! "Well, you don't have to look at Ilvermorny. Albus and I think the same way. Adding one quota is enough. Financial support and other things, let's see the effect of this session first," Professor McGonagall nodded. He said, "If the effect is good, it is not impossible to gradually encourage other schools to join. If the effect is not good, they will not make an offer."
This is true, you have to be traditional, and if you don't do it well, others may backhand and get people to start it at home - but if you don't have experience in organizing it, it won't be easy, let's wait and see the response first.
‘If this class succeeds, the next class, I’ll count, it will be four years later… The students in my grade are really miserable, they just can’t catch up…’
Andrew calculated, the expression on his face unchanged.
The matter was negotiated by Professor McGonagall, and this condition had nothing to do with him. He planned to go back and burn some galleons later - the potion was still improving rapidly.
"Also, there is one more thing. The competition committee has decided that you will be the judge."
Professor McGonagall spoke easily, as if this was just an ordinary thing.
"Yes, I'll be fine - wait, professor?"
Andrew's eyes widened.
No, just don’t let him participate. What does this judge mean?
"The Triwizard Tournament is a cheating event, you know this, right?"
Professor McGonagall explained with a very serious expression on her face, as if cheating was a matter of course.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
But it is true that the three families have been playing together for many years. This is an old tradition and cannot be lost.
"I've read a lot, yes."
"So, they don't trust you. Even if we make an agreement, what should we do if we cheat?"
Professor McGonagall spread her hands, "Things that are not in the rules can always be circumvented, but the rules clearly stipulate that players who use the referee's rights will be expelled from the competition."
"Wait a minute, professor, what does this mean?"
"Yes, there have been players who influenced the referee to change the score."
The professor looked like this was a traditional operation, "Besides, even if you agree not to participate, you'd better be a referee and improve the reputation of the event. After all, it has been discontinued for a long time."
'The co-author is still a mascot, and yes, the suspension has been too long...but it's not like what the professor said. The main reason is that I filled up my medals last time. ’
"So, once you accept the appointment, you will use your power as a referee before the game starts to minimize the possibility of you becoming a warrior."
The professor looked at Andrew and said, "That's a good thing too. Come with me to Kodos Dorez to check the safety of the underground area they are going to open."
‘Isn’t this a special offer for the organizer...’
Andrew could see at a glance what kind of benefit this was.
"So, you'd better learn some daily language during this period. It doesn't need to be too much, just be able to communicate simply. The library is not open. In addition, there are many special herbs and the like there, so you can continue your practice."
The professor nodded, "That's all, but the identity of your referee must be kept secret and will not be announced until the beginning of the next semester."
