Chapter Sixty-Four: The Versatile Minister of Magic of South Korea

The players of the Korean Quidditch team dared to argue with the American wizards, and made them kneel under the national flag to confess, which made Rove feel a little inauthentic.

For a moment, he even wondered if he had gone back a thousand years and influenced something and caused the butterfly effect.

But it can't affect so much, right?

Just when the boy was doubting himself, Fudge had already led him to a gymnasium.

This is a specially built stadium for this Quidditch World Cup, but the shape is a little strange, and from a distance, it looks like a sailboat.

"Isn't the shape very bold, it's very similar to the ...... in ancient magic texts" Fukudge wanted to drop his book bag in front of the boy to show his erudition, but suddenly got stuck.

When Rove heard the minister say the ancient magic script, he looked at the shape of the building again, raised his eyebrows and said, "? ”

"That's right," said Fudge hurriedly, "what do you mean by home...... Make athletes and spectators feel like they're at home. ”

Fudge wiped the sweat from his forehead, repeated the pronunciation several times, and secretly complained that it was really difficult to remember, and if he couldn't remember the pronunciation in front of the leaders of other countries, it would be a shame.

"Rove, you're pretty good at ancient magic."

"It's okay."

Rove had learned well, after all, by Nicol's notes, and he looked at the building and exclaimed:

"To say that, both from an aesthetic point of view and from a deeper meaning, it is indeed a bold design."

"I specially invited the famous magical architect I.M. Pei to design it." Fudge was smug again, as if it were a design drawing he had drawn himself.

"You've heard of I.M. Pei, right? It's the guy who built the glass pyramid in front of the Louvre! ”

Rove nodded.

"Many French people hate I.M. Pei, especially the French Minister of Magic, Abel, who claims that the pyramid at the entrance of the Louvre is a scar on Paris's face." Fudge smiled:

"That's why I deliberately asked him to design, and when Abel came to watch the French team's game, I would be angry with him!"

“……”

Rove scratched his hair, okay...... Britain and France are feuds, and they breastfeed each other in the newspaper every day, so it seems that there is nothing wrong with doing this.

Fudge added:

"This gymnasium can hold 100,000 wizards, and the Ministry of Magic has 500 staff, and it's been busy for a whole year.

Every inch of this place was under the Muggle Expulsion Charm, and whenever Muggles approached here, they would suddenly remember a hundred thousand urgent things and hurriedly walk away......"

"It's not a small cost, is it?" Rove asked.

"It's not small, it's several times more than the budget." Fudge sighed, "The Ministry of Magic has borrowed some Galleons from Gringotts for this, and it's in debt. ”

"But as long as this World Cup can be successfully held, it will definitely be able to return to its original cost."

Advertising, gambling and tickets are the bulk of making money, and they can also stimulate the local economy.

Of course, the premise is that the World Cup can be held smoothly without any surprises.

Last year, when Peter Pettigrew escaped from prison, Fudge nearly went into cardiac arrest.

This vicious Death Eater has escaped from prison, and if the news spreads, it may discourage wizards from coming to the game, thus affecting ticket revenue.

"I've brought a lot of Aurors to the ring." Fudge said confidently, "Surely nothing can go wrong." ”

Rove wasn't as optimistic as Fudge, especially looking at the stadium's sailboats, but he was thinking of the word "capsize".

In the words of Professor Trelawney, this is a terrible omen!

The two walked into the gymnasium and walked down the stairs to a room, when they were confronted by a wizard.

He was dressed in a robe, with a flattened nose as if it had ever been broken, round blue eyes, and short blond hair.

Rove immediately recognized the man, it was Ludo Bagman.

Ludo looked excited, and he walked and jumped as if he had a spring under his feet.

"Hey, Connelly, I was going to find you in your tent."

"Oh, Ludo." Fudge looked at the man and hurriedly asked, "Why are you here, aren't you dealing with a dispute between South Korea and the United States team?" ”

"It's been dealt with." Ludo said with a smile on his face: "I just held a mediation meeting, and I called the Minister of Magic Park Chang-ro of South Korea and the director of the Department of Magical Sports of the United States. ”

"How did it turn out?"

"The Minister of Magic of South Korea took the initiative to apologize, and also flatly denied that the American Quidditch team had eavesdropping tactics."

Fudge was stunned and said, "Gone?" ”

"Of course it's more than that." Ludo sighed:

"In order to ease the atmosphere, the Minister of Magic of South Korea also sang "American Pie" at the banquet, you were no longer on the scene at the time, I don't know how well he sang, it looks like he has been specially practiced."

"That's really versatile." Fudge sneered with some disdain and said, "Didn't the South Korean team members want the American team members to kneel under the national flag and repent?" ”

"The South Korean player who wants the United States to repent has been permanently suspended." Ludo shrugged, "Anyway, the United States has forgiven South Korea." ”

“……”

After listening to Ludo's words, Rove breathed a sigh of relief, this is the world line in his impression.

Fudge was a little excited, when it was still a big empire, Britain also had a group of such little brothers, and now the rivers are declining, and they are all running to be dogs for the United States.

He could only secretly comfort himself: "No matter how powerful the American Ministry of Magic is, it is also the son of Britain!" ”

Seeing that Ludo's gaze always fell on Rove, Fudge took the initiative to say:

"Come, Rove, I'll introduce you, this is Ludo Bagman, the director of the Department of Physical Education."

"Hello, Mr. Bagman." Rove smiled.

Before Fudge could speak again, Ludo had already eagerly grasped the young man's hand and said excitedly:

"Needless to say, the famous Rolf Scamander, from last year to this summer, the coverage has not stopped.

Is there any wizard in England who doesn't know this genius boy...... Rove, I'm a big fan of yours. ”

Rove raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Mr. Bagman, I'm also a fan of yours and often learn your Quidditch skills through photos of your previous matches. ”

He's really not a commercial blowout.

In the British wizarding world, Ludo is also famous.

He was the best batsman of all time at Wimbourne Hornets, helped the team to a third consecutive UEFA Cup title, and then retired his number 58 shirt.

And Ludo, as a batsman, can be regarded as using the skills of making fouls to the extreme, not to mention the others, the two skills of the big loop and diving alone are enough for Rove to learn for a lifetime.

Especially diving...... Lu Duoguang can cut out a video of more than an hour.

Hearing that Rove was his fan, Ludo seemed very happy and asked, "Why are you going?" ”

"Go see those magical creatures." Rove lifted his suitcase.

"Oh, then don't bother." Ludo was afraid of being infected, so he hurriedly said: "I'll go first, I'll go and see how the preparations are!" ”

When Ludo left, Fudge and Rove quickly came to a long hallway, where they saw many rooms on either side.

Fudge led Rove to a door, only to see a nameplate with the name of the magical creature written on it:

Meiwa!

Rove took a breath, and according to Fudge, Bulgaria had brought a hundred and eight babies...... He was missing a few in his box.
