Chapter 37: Restrictions on the Triwizard Tournament

Rove took the Goblet of Fire and looked at it closely. The body of the cup is as white as bone, and it is cold to the touch, but the workmanship is very rough, like a piece of wood, which has been carved with a knife...... There is no beauty at all.

Such an ugly Goblet of Fire is ugly, but it is an extremely powerful magical item, it can judge the strength of a wizard by its name, and the chosen one, will be concluded.

In a way, the Goblet of Fire resembles the Sorting Hat. Rove observed for a long time and asked knowingly, "Is it really time to restart the Triwizard Tournament?" "The Triwizard Tournament, which originated in the 13th century, was organized by Hogwarts in conjunction with Beauxbatons and Durmstrang in the hope of building friendships between young wizards from different countries.

But the competition has been out of action for two hundred years.

"Yes, we've negotiated the whole process." Dumbledore crossed his fingers on his chest,

"Just a little bit of detail...... We're still arguing before you come in. Rove wondered, "What is it about?" Dumbledore didn't hide it, and said softly, "Do you want to limit the age, only adult students are allowed to participate." ”

"Age limit, of course!" Maxim said with some excitement,

"Why did you stop the Triwizard Tournament before? Isn't it because it's too dangerous, and every student dies?! We must limit the age and prevent underage wizards from getting involved, so that the danger can be reduced. Dumbledore was noncommittal, raised his eyes and glanced at Rove, the boy immediately understood, he thought for a moment, and smiled: "You are right, Madame Maxim, it is indeed necessary to pay attention to safety and reduce the rate of casualties among students. There is just one thing I don't understand, and I hope you can help me with it. Maxim raised his eyebrows lightly and looked at Rove, and the young man asked in a puzzled tone, "Doesn't the Triwizard Tournament use the Goblet of Fire to pick out the strongest students in each school?" ”

"That's right." Maxim nodded.

"So here's the problem...... Rove said more and more confused, "Now there are two students, one is stronger than the other, and they are competing in the tournament at the same time, which one is more likely to be injured and killed?" Madame Maxim didn't think about it, so she took it for granted: "Of course the weaker students." ”

"That's what I thought too." Rove nodded in satisfaction and asked, "What if, I mean what if...... Strong students do not reach adulthood, while weak students do have adulthood...... Who is more likely to be injured and killed during a race? Maxim hesitated for a moment and said, "Of course it's still the weak adult student." ”

"In that case, why do we need to limit the age and exclude stronger, less likely students from the Triwizard Tournament?" Rove grinned, "Aren't you trying to reduce the casualty rate?" Maxim was speechless, unable to answer for a moment.

The boy smiled and continued, "Of course, you can also say that this will not happen, and adult students are definitely stronger than minor students. In that case, there is no need for an age limit, after all, the Goblet of Fire will only choose stronger adult students, and minor students will not be selected anyway, will it? Maxim was completely speechless, she glared at Rove fiercely, who the hell are you kid with?

Rove grimaced playfully and deliberately provoked, "Madame Maxim, you are not afraid that I will be chosen and defeat all the adult students in your school, leaving you with a disgraceful face, right?" ”

"......" Dumbledore smiled silently, quietly watching the two debate, while Karkaroff watched coldly, looking like he didn't care about himself.

It doesn't matter if there is a limit on age or not, anyway, no matter how Durmstrang chooses, only Krum can become a warrior.

Others are not qualified at all! Karkaroff believed that his beloved disciple was invincible, even in three magic schools!

Mrs. Maxim pondered Rove's words repeatedly, saying that restricting age is indeed a matter of taking off your pants and farting, which is really redundant.

She sighed faintly, obviously persuaded by Rove, but she was still convinced and unconvinced: "As you said, some underage students are stronger, but I can't take all the Beauxbatons students to Hogwarts. This may leave out stronger students, but Hogwarts is different, with home field advantage, and everyone has the opportunity to compete and choose the truly strongest...... It's not fair and there has to be some limits. ”

"It's not unfair to hold a triwizard tournament at Beauxbatons in the future, and to have such a home advantage." Rove retorted with a smile: "You can also conduct an on-campus selection in Beauxbatons first, and select the strongest students." ”

"Besides, you're the principal, you can't even notice which student is the best in your school, right?" Rove blinked and said, "Then you are too derelict in your duties." ”

"......" Although Dumbledore's heart blossomed, he still criticized seriously: "Rove, don't be rude to Lady Maxim. ”

"I'm sorry, Madame Maxim, but don't worry." Rove apologized: "I'm like this, I speak too straightforwardly, my grandmother often says that I am so honest and upright, and I will definitely suffer a big loss in the future." ”

"......" Even Dumbledore was a little speechless, he didn't believe that Tina could say such a conscientious thing as Rove's honesty.

"In short, the school and the Ministry of Magic should do a good job of security, and they should also set the appropriate level of difficulty." Rove said softly: "This is a measure to reduce the casualty rate, not to set an age limit." Dumbledore smiled and said, "It seems that this issue has already been answered, and there is no limit to the age of registration for this Triwizard Tournament." Karkarov said in a hoarse voice: "Agreed." Madame Maxim also snorted from her nose in agreement.

Since they all agreed, even if the triwizard competition was completely decided, the three of them broke up directly.

But before leaving, Maxim raised his eyebrows at Rove, and said with a smile: "Rove, I convey your meaning to Fleur...... You say you're going to blow up all the adult students in Beauxbatons, including her. Rove: "......" When the two of them left, and only Rove and Dumbledore were left in the conference room, Rove took the opportunity to ask, "Professor, how many days does the conference have to go on?" ”

"The resolution on the floating dragon ship can basically be determined tomorrow." Dumbledore said,

"But there's a meeting to discuss what medal to award to you for saving a boatload of wizards." Rove raised his eyebrows and asked, "I won't be required to participate in this kind of meeting, will I?" ”

"Not really." Dumbledore smiled and asked, "What, are you in a hurry to go back to England?" ”

"Yes." Rove nodded: "When I was on vacation, I promised a friend that I would pick her up from her house during the summer vacation to watch the Quidditch World Cup. But now it's late July, and the opening ceremony of the Quidditch World Cup is about to begin, so if it's all right, I'll go back to England first. ”

"I'll call a portkey for you, and I'll send you back to England in two days." Dumbledore smiled and blinked, "The game is a pleasure, and by the way, say hello to Newt and Tina." ”

"I will." Rove grinned, he suddenly looked at the Goblet of Fire, and asked again, "Professor, there's one more thing I want to ask you......"

"What's the matter?"

"Does the wizard chosen by the Goblet of Fire have to participate in the Triwizard Tournament?"

"Must participate, because once chosen by the Goblet of Fire, a powerful pact is formed." Dumbledore explained, "Unless the Warrior dies, he has to play, and he can't give up. Rove narrowed his eyes and asked curiously, "What will happen if you don't participate?" ”

"Like an unbreakable oath, it will eventually ......" Dumbledore paused, looked at the boy, and said in a deep voice, "Death." Rov thought for a moment and finally pursed his lips and laughed.
