312. Triwizard Tournament Finale
Dudley, Dumbledore, and Moody each played their part after that night's talk, Dudley continued to study hard, Moody did his best to impart knowledge, and Dumbledore. He often goes out and rarely spends time in the principal's office.
It didn't take long for a 'Incompetent, Ministry of Magic' news to hit the headlines.
Even as Fudge tried his best to block the news, the news of the disappearance of a small group of Aurors was revealed.
Not surprisingly, the Ministry of Magic received numerous yelling letters again.
Fudge was overwhelmed by this.
He wanted to ask the Daily Prophet to help promote his positive image, try to salvage some prestige, and minimize the damage, but found that the current Daily Prophet has changed from editor-in-chief to reporter.
Fortunately, although people have changed, the attitude towards him, the Minister of Magic, is better.
So Fudge was once again on the front page of the Daily Prophet.
It's just that now the sales of the Daily Prophet are not as good as before, and there are only a few die-hard people left, not even a tenth of the contradictory ones.
But you've got Fudge singing the opposite because of sales issues. I'm afraid he'll become the number one laughing stock in the wizarding world, after all, he used to say that he was hiding an army of fire elves.
This continued until June
The final match of the Triwizard Tournament.
As early as a month ago, in May, the four participating warriors knew the content of the third game - the maze.
After all, cheating is a traditional part of the Triwizard Tournament.
"Harry, how's the preparation?"
As he enjoyed breakfast, Dudley asked Harry.
Harry swallowed the milk in his mouth, "Improvisation." ”
Unless you can get the route map of the maze from the beginning, there is no good way to know that this is the content. Anyway, everything that should be studied is almost learned, wands, spells, and potions are all ready, and the rest depends on the on-the-spot performance, and there is no way to prepare for this kind of thing.
"Tell you a stupid way through the labyrinth."
"You just have to follow one wall of the maze and you will definitely be able to get out of the maze."
Dudley's method is the best way to traverse the labyrinth of the unknown, and certainly the dumbest.
He patted Harry on the shoulder and gently dusted Harry's collar with his fingers, "Pay attention to your image, you represent Hogwarts now." ”
Harry was stunned for a moment, and nodded seriously: "Got it." Brother D. ”
There were more guests coming to Hogwarts today than ever before, many of them as spectators to watch the final game of the Triwizard Tournament, and everyone wanted to know the outcome.
The Ministry of Magic made a small profit just by collecting tickets, but unfortunately there are few business-minded people in the Ministry of Magic, and they only earned tickets and missed a great opportunity to make money
If it's Dudley, he will come up with a series of peripheral products about the four warriors, figure series, etc., and then make a list of the support rate of the three major magic schools, and stir up the topic to the highest, as long as the operation is good, these alone can make a good profit.
Tickets? How much is the ticket worth?
He directly watched it for free and then made a live broadcast!
Unfortunately, the Ministry of Magic only focused on immediate interests and did not dig deeper.
There is a feeling of 'giving you the opportunity to make money, but you don't use it'.
Not surprisingly, Bagman still opened the gambling game, after all, this is the last chance left, and the first two experiences have told Mr. Bagman that the money is too easy to make.
But if Dudley knew that he would still scoff at his approach, gamble? How much money do you make from your bets? To create a triwizard IP, just one year's peripheral income is enough for you to count the money until you are soft.
And it's still legal income, what a stupidity!
The grandstand was larger than the previous ones, and there were many magic eyes for live broadcasts.
An hour before the start of the game, the venue was packed.
"Welcome our esteemed Minister Fudge to my opening remarks."
Bagman's loud announcement was accompanied by sporadic applause.
With such a grand game, how could Fudge, as the Minister of Magic, not be present? He was already running for his own prestige, and he naturally wouldn't let go of this opportunity when he saw it.
Fudge just said a few platitudes before calling the game to begin.
As long as whoever finds the trophy first in the maze and retrieves it smoothly, who is the first winner, yes, you heard it right, the one who gets the trophy back is the winner, no matter how high the score is in the first two games, he is the champion when he gets the trophy in the last game.
For players with fewer points, this is the only chance.
As for the runner-up and runner-up, there is none
But fortunately, the order of the game is determined by the scores of the four people, the first place enters first, the second place is second, and so on, fortunately, there is this, otherwise the first two games will be completely meaningless, and it will be okay to mess up.
Dudley, who won the first place with an absolute advantage, entered the maze first.
Then Harry, and then Victor, by the time Fleur entered, it had been a long time.
"It's not a small area."
Dudley said as he looked at the massive wall of magical vines entwined and weaved.
These magic vines were enchanted by Dumbledore and grow wildly when attacked.
The purpose is to prevent anyone from crossing the maze in a destructive way.
The entire labyrinth was built by several principals and professors, each of whom was responsible for a part, and finally gathered into a large labyrinth.
In order to increase the difficulty, the Ministry of Magic also put a lot of 'things' inside.
"See what I found?"
Dudley seemed to be a jungle explorer, and as he spoke, he brushed away the branches of the trees in the road ahead.
At the end of the road, there was a large creature resembling a rhinoceros, but with twenty times the horns on the other's head.
"A full-grown poisonhorn!"
The poisonous horn beast is a unique magical creature on the African side, 4X level, huge in size, full of muscles, skin can be immune to many magical attacks, when it feels threatened, it will rush directly to the other party This time is especially dangerous, the single horn on his head can easily kill an African Angoran male.
Dudley's eyes lit up as he looked at the beast, and the beast spotted Dudley.
The whites of its eyes were an unnatural red, bloodshot and punctuated with mist, and punctuated mist.
Clearly, the venomhorn is in heat.
Any creature is very dangerous when it comes into heat.
It stood up the moment it spotted Dudley, staring at Dudley with red eyes, a muffled warning coming out of its mouth, and two huge, thick front legs digging into the ground from time to time.
Completely attacking.
If Newt, the legendary Fantastic Beast master, was here, he would definitely find a way to appease the poisonous horned beast.
But Dudley won't. I saw him stretch out his right hand and hook the palm of the poisonous horned beast.
