Chapter 367: Age Limit

Dumbledore closed the box and placed the Goblet of Fire on the lid so that everyone in the Great Hall could see it as clearly as possible. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

"Every student who wants to run for the Warriors needs to write his school and name on a piece of parchment and throw it into this goblet. Dumbledore said to the students, "If there are students who want to participate, they need to sign up within twenty-four hours, and if they are outdated, they will be counted as your own abstention." ā€

"Tomorrow night, the night of Halloween, Goblet will choose the names of the three students it thinks best represent the three schools. From now on, the Goblet of Fire will be placed in the hall and accessible to all students who want to run for the election. ā€

Everyone looked at the goblet in front of them, and if it weren't for Dumbledore's still on it, they would all be excited to write their names on the parchment and throw it in.

Looking at the eager eyes of the students in the audience, Dumbledore said slowly, "In order to avoid students who are not old enough to try, I will draw an age boundary around it." No student under the age of seventeen can cross this line. ā€

"Finally, I have to remind everyone once that this triwizard tournament is not child's play, and you must not rush into it. If you're selected by the Goblet of Fire, you'll have to finish the Triwizard Tournament without quitting. Whoever puts his name into the Goblet of Fire is actually equivalent to making a contract with the Goblet of Fire, which is a very magical and special contract. So, I hope you've thought it over and made sure you want to play before putting your name in the Goblet of Fire. ā€

Most people looked very disappointed, and since Dumbledore would personally draw the age line, it meant that no one could break through the barrier. At least, that's not something their group of students can break.

"Professor, I have a problem. Louis said lazily.

"Please, Mr. Pendragon. Dumbledore replied with a smile.

"I've already asked once, but I'd like to ask in front of the other two principals and the two referees. "If someone can break through your age limit by their own strength, does that mean they are eligible to participate in the Triwizard Tournament?"

Dumbledore was silent, seemingly seriously pondering Louis's words, while Karkaroff said impatiently, "Mr. Pendragon, only students over the age of seventeen can participate, this is a rule set by the Ministry of Magic and the three schools. So even the Pendragon family can't force our rules. ā€

Louis glanced at Karkaroff coldly and said, "I'm asking Professor Dumbledore, as for you, I'm sorry, what do you call it?"

The fact that the principal of a mere magic school dared to talk to him like this also shows how worrying Karkaroff's IQ is. If his name is Kakarot, Louis will take it seriously, after all, he is a fierce man who likes to explode stars. And the person in front of him is just a few Karkaroff, do you really think that people will be afraid of him if you take a similar name?

"You ......" Karkaroff choked on Louis and stared at Louis with a flushed face.

However, then he gritted his teeth and looked away. After all, it was the heir of the Pendragon family who scolded him just now, not a cat or a dog.

"Dumbledore, what do you say, do you want to break the rules we've made?" Karkaroff said hatefully.

"Oh..... What?" Dumbledore looked at Karkaroff in confusion as if he had just come to his senses, "What's wrong, Professor Karkaroff?"

Looking at Dumbledore's flawless pretending to be stupid, Karkaroff could only scold him in his heart for being an old fox.

"What do you think of Pendragon's question?" Karkaroff repeated the question.

"Hmm...... I think it's up to our two referees. Without hesitation, Dumbledore kicked the ball to the two men at the Ministry of Magic.

The corners of Barty Crouch's mouth twitched, he didn't expect the fire to burn him. But who made him represent the Ministry of Magic? Now that there is a problem, of course he has to find a way to solve it.

"Hmm...... Strictly speaking, there is no age limit for the formulation of the Triwizard Tournament. Crouch thought for a moment and said, "The age limit of seventeen is something we discussed, in order to better protect everyone's safety and prevent everyone from doing something meaningless and easy to get hurt. If someone can 'head-on' Dumbledore's age barrier, then I don't think there's any reason to stop him from playing. After all, this rule is not a rule of the Triwizard Tournament, so if someone can break it, then they are eligible to participate in the Triwizard Tournament. ā€

Crouch's words directly gave this matter a given, although Karkaroff wanted to refute it, but he thought about it and had no reason to refute it. As Crouch said, this rule was made by them, not by the Triwizard Tournament itself. And even if students under the age of seventeen can participate, Hogwarts can only participate in one anyway. If the participants are under the age of 17, their other two schools will take advantage. Although Louis was touted as a genius, Karkaroff didn't think that a fourth-grader would really be that powerful, and it must have been just a momentum of the Pendragon family.

"Thank you for your guidance, Mr. Crouch. Louis said with a smile.

Crouch nodded at Louis. Although Crouch gives the impression of being a very stubborn and serious person, this does not mean that he is a stunned young man. The fact that he can sit in the position of director is very revealing, and a person who only knows how to deal with everything can climb to the position of director? If he is really so righteous and has such a sense of justice............. Hehe......... Arthur Weasley of House Weasley was watching him.

Almost all the students in the hall watched Louis whisper as he showed them the way. Even if you are under the age of seventeen, as long as you can break through Dumbledore's age barrier on your own strength, you are eligible to run for Warriors.

"Alright, I guess it's time for everyone to go to bed. Good night to all. Dumbledore said.

The students of Hogwarts slowly left the hall door, while the students of the other two houses followed their headmaster towards their transport. Obviously, they took so much trouble to use those large means of transportation not just to show off, but the most important thing is to solve the accommodation problem.
