Looking at the wooden mug marked Made in England, William was in a bad mood.

He came all the way from England to Venice just to see British-made knockoffs?!

This is a kind of buying a scalper's ticket at a high price, and finally ...... at the concert site Listen to lip-pto throughout the whole process.

As a tenth-level user of the network and cloud suppression, I was depressed in an instant.

The last time I had such a bad experience was when William woke up and found that his ticket had been torn and the scratch tickets were gone.

Well, he was still in a good mood at the time. After all, it's better to be torn up and crossed, than to be sold to Africa for mining, right?

Hermione flipped over and over and checked the cup a few more times. She didn't feel a bit of magic from above.

Combined with that line of typography...... It doesn't take too much difficulty to understand that this is a fake goblet!

Not to mention the Goblet of Fire, it's too much trouble to light a torch.

"What to do? The Goblet of Fire is lost, and the Triwizard Tournament can't be done, right? Hermione asked.

William looked at Hermione and sighed.

This silly girl...... Instead of worrying about the Triwizard Tournament, it is better to think more about the two of us.

He and Hermione were above board, but there were just the two of them in this room.

Such an important magical item is gone...... Did you explain it clearly!

You say you didn't steal it, you didn't steal it?

All right...... Even if it wasn't stolen by the two of you...... If you can't find a criminal, do you have to be convicted first?

William was unclear about Venice, but he was clear about the British and French Ministries of Magic.

If it's Fudge...... Without saying a word, he was first imprisoned in Azkaban, and then engaged in a battle of public opinion in the newspapers, proudly claiming that the prisoner had been caught.

Survey? That's after the dust settles.

Clegane is even more single, just look at Uncle Newt. He can also make the most wanted decisions in the city.

Through these two men, William gained a basic understanding of European officials.

I don't expect these wizards of the Ministry of Magic to be as wise as Dumbledore.

These people will always do something that you can't understand.

So, to run or not to run...... That's a problem.

Just as William hesitated, the door was opened again.

Martel walked slowly, and he apologized, "Something just happened and I need to deal with it urgently, kid, how is the Goblet of Fire?" ”

Looking at Maltai's age, William felt that it would be better to take care of his emotions.

Otherwise, the old man couldn't accept the news, and suddenly fell to the ground and died suddenly...... Isn't it William's responsibility?

"It's good." He lied decisively: "Hermione, hurry up and put it back, such a valuable thing, don't break it." ”

William decided to get out of here first. Even if the Goblet of Fire is found to be fake, it has nothing to do with them.

At least the two sides are at odds.

"Wait, kid...... I need to take a look. Martell stopped.

"The Goblet of Fire hasn't been rekindled in over two hundred years, and it must be checked."

William and Hermione exchanged an innocent look, and the girl carefully handed it over.

Martell checked it with his wand. After a moment, he suddenly looked up and said in disbelief: "This Goblet of Fire...... It's fake! ”

William glanced at Hermione, and without speaking, she had a clear understanding in her heart, and said in a surprised tone:

"Fake? How could it be...... I just opened the box...... You read that right, sir? ”

William silently gave Hermione a thumbs up, this acting skill, it's no problem to win an Oscar.

The old movie queen!

"That's right." Martell checked again, his face gloomy.

"I've seen a real Goblet of Fire, it's full of powerful magic, and this one is indeed a fake."

William was also shocked, as if he couldn't believe it was fake.

He analyzed: "Someone must have secretly dropped the bag.

There shouldn't be many wizards who can enter this room, probably acquaintances...... I suggest, check the guards. ”

Hermione looked at William in admiration.

The old actor!

"That's right, it does need to be carefully investigated." Martell said solemnly.

He waved his wand, and a silver sand snake flew out of its tip, through the gate, heading out.

Soon, the four Aurors at the door pushed the door in. Nemelia followed behind, confused.

William glanced up at the Auror and asked, "You don't doubt the two of us, sir?" ”

"Nope." Martell took a deep breath and said, "But kid, I'm sorry, I have to hold you both for the time being!" ”

"Seizure?! Seize us? Hermione asked angrily.

"Why are we stealing the Goblet of Fire like this? We have Dumbledore's letter, there's no need to steal it! ”

"It's just a necessary process." Martell stepped back, standing with the Auror captain.

"You both have to stay in your cell until the investigation is clear."

"You can't imprison us!" Hermione shrieked. "You don't have any proof!"

Martell's eyes widened as if to say: No evidence?

"Miss Granger, it's been a long time since anyone came in here. But a few moments after I went out, the Goblet of Fire was dropped. ”

He paused. "I have no evidence, but there are enough reasons to detain you and interrogate you.

I know you two are amazingly famous, but fame is not a reason to avoid interrogation.

I'm just going through the normal judicial process. ”

"No, you don't!" Hermione changed her mind, and she said calmly.

"William is the youth representative of the Wizengamot and has written authorization from Dumbledore, president of the International Federation.

His identity is equivalent to that of the British Wizengamot.

According to the International Code of Magic Law, Article 9 states:

High-ranking officials who commit crimes abroad need to be interrogated simultaneously under the supervision of wizards in both countries. Under special circumstances, they have the right to be directly extradited back to their home countries.

There are no British Ministry of Magic officials watching. ”

Hermione paused, "You have no right to interrogate William, nor can you forcibly restrict his freedom without sufficient evidence. ”

Martell was silent for a moment.

He stared at Hermione, and after a moment, said softly:

"Of course, Miss Granger, you have a good memory, and you're right."

"Britain is a country with a storied history, a rich culture, and amazing wizards," he said solemnly.

I'm not looking for conflict.

We are committed to developing a constructive and results-oriented relationship with the UK Ministry of Magic, and in our defence relationship, opening channels of communication and mitigating risk. ”

Martell shifted, "So we will obey the law, we will not restrict Mr. Stark's freedom, we will only send the Aurors to spy on him."

But you are not a Wizengamot, nor are you a juvenile representative, and you must cooperate with the interrogation and stay in your cell for investigation. ”

Hermione breathed a sigh of relief. In her opinion, this is the best outcome.

William went out to investigate, whether it was to inform Dumbledore or to find out the truth earlier...... can get her out.

She hadn't thought about not being able to find the Goblet of Fire, because William ...... Sure to find it. She trusted him blindly.

The girl looked at the boy, but he only shook his head slightly.

"Don't be stupid, Hermione." William grinned lightly, "Venice prison, it's not Hogwarts, it's not a joke.

It's neither safe nor comfortable.

Isn't it, Mr. Martell? ”

Martell did not answer. But it's also a default.

Guarded by Dementors, Azkaban is the most famous prison in the wizarding world. But the magic prisons of Venice are no worse.

It is divided into two types: water dungeon and lead-topped cell.

Water prisons, as the name suggests, are built in the water. Generally level with the water level. So the prison is often flooded.

Now it has been raining heavily for several days, and the water level is about waist-deep every day.

The lead-roofed cell, on the other hand, is located next door to the top floor.

The cells have lead roofs and are bitterly hot in the summer and bitterly cold in the winter.

Anything that involves a prison is a good place to go.

The old man said in a deep voice, "We will ensure Miss Granger's safety, you can rest assured of that......"

William scoffed and interrupted, "What guarantee do you have?"

I don't even know if I lost the Goblet of Fire...... It's a good idea.

I seriously doubt that your combat effectiveness is inferior to that of France. ”

"But......" Hermione hesitated.

If he did so, William would definitely be wanted. He could get out safely alone, and there was no need to take such a risk for her.

William reached out and pinched Hermione's cheek, glaring, "No, I won't let you stay in prison alone." ”

Hermione looked at the boy, her eyes moist and red. She bit her lip and didn't retort.

"Besides, if your father knew, I would have thrown you in jail." William muttered. "He still doesn't break my three legs?"

Hermione couldn't hold back, and she sneered, rubbing her reddened eyes and giving William a blank look.

Martell watched William intently. "As a smart man, Stark, the choice you made today was stupid.

Do you want to rebel against a high-ranking Ministry of Magic? Trying to obstruct our investigation? Even if you're British, Dumbledore won't protect you. ”

"And, given what you've just said, I think it's not just your wand, but also the magic items on your body that need to be checked."

"Look." William smiled arrogantly as if no one was around, "Hermione, you still want me to go out to investigate."

People have been thinking about seizing wands for a long time, and now they are seizing magical items.

You say, "Can you give it to him?" ”

The girl bit her lip and shook her head vigorously.

There are a lot of secrets hidden in the safety of the two. Not to mention the Dementors who can't see people, there are also the Fairy Diamond and the Ravenclaw Tiara.

This cannot be left to the Italian Ministry of Magic.

William grinned and rubbed Hermione's bushy brown hair.

He turned his head, his eyes gradually became cold, and he said flatly, word by word: "Look, it's simple." ”

Captain Auror, who was already vigilant, suddenly shouted, "Be careful! ”

At the same time, the wand shot a spell at Martell's head in full view, causing some sharp-eyed onlookers to think that he had lost his mind.

As everyone knows, the spell and picking up another spell make a sonorous sound of gold and stone.

Another flash of silver swirled around the room, and the floor shook with a loud bang like a cannon.

Then, a second silver flash exploded, filling the air with dust.

Nellia's eyes widened suddenly, and she saw that the four Aurors were already on the ground.

Martell, like a straightened sand snake, flew backwards and flew out, never moving after slamming into the ground, most likely unconscious.

She turned her head and looked at Stark with horror in her eyes.

The boy had already taken the girl with him, smashed the floor-to-ceiling window on one side of the room, and jumped straight out from the fifth floor.

Nemelia sat on the ground blankly, looking at the five people who had fallen to the ground, her eyes empty.
