Chapter 20: Brother is so strong, won't you lie down!

When a large amount of gold gallons fell from the sky, the wizards immediately scrambled to bend down to pick up the gold coins, and some even fought over it.

Tickets to the World Cup final are not cheap, and with the cost of renting camps, many people have spent a lot of money and even overdrawn their future meals.

Now is the opportunity to make up the money back...... None of you mind!

Does Meiwa have a little goblin scent? Not at all!

However, the wizard in a top box like Harry's didn't make any moves, and Fred and George just silently gathered the gold coins with their feet and trampled them under their feet.

Ron even sneezed a few times in quick succession, and bent down with a blow to his nose and carefully stuffed a few gold coins into his pocket.

Obviously, under the good upbringing of the Weasley family, they still cherish their dignity more.

The other Ministry officials didn't see it, but Professor McGonagall noticed the three disgraceful children in his house.

She couldn't help but sigh and muttered in a very small voice:

"The wizards in the audience below, how did their professor teach them in the first place?"

"Is there anyone who doesn't know that the goblin gold coin is fake, and it will disappear after a few hours of existence?"

The three of them were stunned, and the Weasley twins immediately put their feet back, and Ron threw the gold coins back to the ground, and sat up straight, as if what had happened before had nothing to do with him.

Mr. Weasley gave Professor McGonagall a grateful look, then continued to whisper and laugh to Sirius.

The giant clover eventually disappears, and the leprechauns fall to another corner of the arena, staring at each other across the arena with the babies, while making threatening gestures to each other in demonstration.

Ludo cleared his throat and continued his commentary:

"Now, ladies and gentlemen, and distinguished guests, let us welcome with a round of applause to the Bulgarian Quidditch national team!"

"Dimitrov!" "Ivanova!" "Zorglaf!" "Lefski!" "Vokanov!" "Volkov!"

"And Bulgaria's new Quidditch star, Krum!"

Ludo burst out a long list of names in one breath, and with each name he pronounced, a figure dressed in red appeared, flying into the arena from the entrance below on a broomstick.

The supporters of the Bulgarian team in the audience waved red flags wildly and let out earth-shattering shouts.

And when Victor Krum came on, that atmosphere was at its peak.

"Is he really only seventeen years old and still in Durmstrang school?"

Hermione looked at the Bulgarian wizard on the field who was dark and thin, with gray skin and a big gutter nose, and then looked at the guide in her hand, and couldn't help but complain,

"He's so old! Feel at least thirty years old! ”

Hallie spread her hands: "Maybe it's too cold in Bulgaria to make him look precocious?" ”

"And he's probably focused on Quidditch, and he trains a lot, so there's a lack of maintenance."

"But you also train a lot." Hermione covered her mouth and whispered,

"It feels like your skin is better than anyone in our school."

"I'm different," Harley craned her neck proudly, "I'm called talented!" ”

When the applause in the audience faded away, Ludo's voice rang out again:

"Next, let's welcome the players of the Irish team! They are—"

"Connolly!" "Ryan!" "Troy!" "Marlet!" "Moran!" "Quigley!"

"And- Lin Qi!"

Unlike the Bulgarian team, seven players from the Irish team flew out of the entrance at the same time, and seven blurred green figures appeared above the field together.

When Hassan Musta, president of the International Quidditch Federation, a short, lean wizard in golden robes, walked into the arena, the arena fell silent.

The font on that huge scoreboard shone brightly:

Bulgaria: 0

Ireland: 0

Mustafa drew his wand and tapped the huge wooden box he had just thrown on the ground.

The box opened, and the four balls inside flew into the air, and the golden snitch disappeared without a trace.

Mustafa grabbed the Quaffle and flew into the air on his broomstick.

Looking at the players on both sides around him, he whistled without hesitation and tossed the Quaffle high.

Fourteen blurred figures flashed on the field, and the players began to compete for the Quaffle.

I have to say that these two professional teams are almost the highest overall teams in the world right now.

Their tactics are so clever that only four players from each team have direct access to the Quaffle, and one of them has to guard the goal.

But the pros make perfect use of the Seeker and Basturer positions, arranging their path to constantly jam opposing players through various movements.

And Ireland clearly did a better job of this, starting with an eagle-headed attacking formation with Pokov's tactics.

After repeatedly breaking through the Bulgarian defence, they switched formations again and finally scored the first goal through Troy.

There was thunderous applause on the field!

Next, the Irish team became more and more courageous, playing waves of perfect coordination, and in less than ten minutes, the score was pulled to 30-0.

"There's no need to keep watching this game."

Seeing that the score came to 30:0, Harley couldn't help but shake her head and make a judgment in her heart.

Judging from the early set-up, the Bulgarian players did not come up with tactics to deal with the Irish team at all.

They were exactly the same as in the first few games of the knockout round, just counting on Krum to catch the Golden Snitch as soon as possible and end the match directly.

So Ireland can then open up the gap with impunity, and in less than two hours, they will probably be able to score 150 points by scoring.

And Lin Qi only needs to entangle Krum as much as he can to prevent him from catching the Golden Snitch.

However, Krum is not a fuel-efficient lamp, he is very good at flying, and he is also very good at handling firebow arrows.

In the course of the competition, Krum used the extremely dangerous flying technique of "Langsky feints" several times.

He suddenly dived vertically from a straight high altitude and rushed to the ground as fast as he could.

Although Lin Qi, the Seeker of the Irish team, did not see the Golden Snitch, he also chose to dive to the ground with Krum for the sake of his own victory.

So Lin Qi fell to the ground hard, almost broke his neck, and began to become timid in the following games.

But it didn't help the Bulgarian team, after all, the chasers and tactics were too far apart.

Although the Bulgarian team was 80:10 behind, when they were a full 70 points behind, they chose to use illegal means such as elbows of chasers and bats to buy time for Krum.

But this did not affect the Irish team in the slightest, and allowed the Irish team to make the difference even bigger through a few free throws.

In the later stages of the game, the players on the field even played out their anger and began a fierce hand-to-hand fight.

The players are fighting, and the mascots are starting their own fights.

The clover formed by the leprechauns turned into all sorts of rude gestures, taunting the baby.

But they didn't expect Meiwa to be so simple, directly bypassing the arena and rushing over to fight with themselves.

The mascot fights are even more attractive than the competition in a short period of time, and everyone wants to see the mascots tear each other apart, especially in the physical sense.

But soon, the audience was disappointed.

The girls have become birds, and they don't look good anymore.

Why don't you watch the players play passionately on the broomsticks? How romantic!

The game became more and more intense, and from time to time there were blood stains on both sides, but neither of them refused to leave the game, but continued to insist on the game.

When Krum dived down again, Linzi, despite having already fallen twice, still chose to accelerate and dive together.

"Doesn't Lin Qi have a long memory? He's obviously been tricked twice by Lansky's feints. Hermione asked, puzzled, holding the binoculars.

"No, they've discovered the Golden Snitch." Hallie gestured to the grass.

Within the dynamic forces of the Assassins, there was a small golden orb hovering there.

Hermione looked through her binoculars in the direction of Hallie's finger, but saw nothing.

"Hallie, that golden snitch......"

Before Hermione could finish her words, there was another loud "bang" on the field!

Lin Qi, the poor old fellow, fell the grass for the third time, and lay on the ground unable to move, blood oozing from the corners of his mouth.

The doctors rushed into the field, but only the doctors cared about him.

Because Krum on the side had a speckled nosebleed on his face, and a golden light appeared in his clenched fist.

The score on the scoreboard stopped bouncing.

Bulgaria: 160

Ireland: 170

Krum caught the Golden Snitch and won the battle between the Seekers, but the Irish Quidditch National Team came out victorious!

The Irish Quidditch National Team won the 422nd English Quidditch World Cup!

The auditorium exploded in an instant, and the sea of green cheered, and the sea of red let out bursts of curses.

It is clear that some members of the Bulgarian national team will definitely not have a good time when they go back.

They're probably going to have to endure an endless barrage of letters—

Krum is so strong, almost 100% catches the Golden Snitch, you pit can't even lie down?

In the box, the Bulgarian Minister of Magic took off his wizard's hat and slammed it to the ground, spurting all kinds of beautiful Bulgarian words from his mouth.

Judging from the unpleasant expression of the burly secretary behind him, the minister probably didn't say anything good.

However, it is normal for him to have this attitude, after all, Bulgaria lost too ugly.

If it weren't for Krum's eventual capture of the Golden Snitch, Bulgaria would have been almost shaved head.

Contrary to the performance of the Bulgarian Minister of Magic, Fudge's face was full of joy, smiling like an old chrysanthemum in full bloom.

After all, for him, it doesn't matter which of the four teams in the British Isles wins the final victory, and in the end it is his own political achievement.

Can he not be happy?

"Umbridge, inform me, all of you have a holiday tonight!" Fudge didn't even think about it, and he didn't even think about public security, so he waved his hand,

"Tonight, there will be a carnival belonging to the British!"

…………

The dignitaries begin to prepare for the various post-match ceremonies, and Sirius, Professor McGonagall, and Mr. Weasley leave the arena with the children.

On the way out of the box, everyone was still excitedly discussing the game.

"I really don't agree with Krum's operation." Mr. Weasley published what he saw,

"Although I caught the Golden Snitch, the team lost the game."

"He could have waited a little longer until the rest of the Bulgarian team caught up with the score and then went to catch the Golden Snitch."

"He just doesn't have confidence in the rest of the Bulgarian team." Sirius spread his hands,

"What kind of stinky fish and rotten shrimp are the rest of the Bulgarian team? Dare to touch the Irish team! ”

Bill and Charlie on the side nodded again and again, after all, they are all British and temporary Irish die-hard fans.

With their own team, who wants to be a Bulgarian hazard?

"If it were for Team Gryffindor, Katie wouldn't have chosen to catch the Golden Snitch either!" George spoke as a batsman.

Fred nodded in approval:

"Of course! We believe in Hallie, Angelina, and Alya, and we believe that they will be able to recover their scores......"

"Wait! George, why do you have the illusion that we are behind? ”

George also showed an exaggerated expression in hindsight:

"yes, how can I have the illusion that I am behind? Shouldn't we be the opposite side with a big lead! ”

Charlie, who was on the side, patted his brother's shoulder hard:

"Good boy, well said! The Gryffindor team should go all the way and win the House Quidditch Cup every year! ”

…………

After the game, Professor McGonagall walked with Sirius and the others for some distance.

As soon as she left the stadium, she took her leave and headed straight back to Hogwarts.

As soon as Professor McGonagall left, Bill and Charlie slowed down in agreement, and gathered among the young wizards who were still in school behind them.

(Thanks to the "Nine-Tailed Yanhu" boss for the reward!) )

(P.S. Some readers have questioned me why the Irish team is also part of the British Ministry of Magic, and I will explain it here.) )

(Ireland is supposed to be an independent country in reality, only Northern Ireland belongs to the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, which is the United Kingdom.) However, there is no mention of the Irish Ministry of Magic, and the Scottish and Welsh teams are also mentioned. So the author personally believes that the wizards of the British Isles are all under the jurisdiction of the British Ministry of Magic, but considering the high autonomy of some regions, four teams were sent. )

(This is the author's interpretation, if you have different opinions, or have other questions, please come to the group to ask questions or chat directly.) )
