In the resplendent banquet hall, under the slightly cheerful music, wizards of decent status from all over the world are staggering.

Amosta didn't participate in too many drinking parties, and some time ago, after becoming famous for killing Greyback, he stayed in London for a while in order to cooperate with the plan of the Ministry of Magic.

The current reception was not much different from the ones he attended in London, except that he was no longer the absolute center of the reception.

Barty Crouch was surrounded by a circle of high-ranking officials from the French and German Ministries of Magic, Madame Maxim of Beauxbatons and Karkaroff, the headmaster of Durmstrang were talking to the International Federation of Wizards, and Ludo seemed to have let himself go, as if he had completely forgotten his mission, and was bragging about his career with everyone who toasted him.

In addition, there was no shortage of guests around the little girl brought by Madame Maxime, and many people at the reception pretended to pass by her, just to see her closely.

Of course, Amosta hasn't been around anyone.

The thing that people are most interested in about Amosta is nothing more than how he exterminated Greyback. There are also many people who are interested in the basilisk, after all, the legend of the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets has been passed down for thousands of years, and many people have coveted the 'secret treasures' that can exist in this secret room.

However, there are really not many people who show awe of Amosta, the wizards who appear here are the leaders of the magical civilizations of various countries, and it is not enough to deter this group of proud wizards only by virtue of the magic power of killing werewolves, and in the eyes of these people, it is difficult to say how much Dumbledore played a role in the werewolf incident!

Maybe it was Albus Dumbledore who wanted to push Amosta Bryan to the throne, so he directed a good play.

After a few moments, Barty got rid of the officials of the German and French Ministries of Magic, and his piercing eyes swept across the room, instantly engraved in his heart the actions of those worthy of attention, and then, his gaze fixed on Amosta, and there was a slight surprise in his falcon-like eyes.

It's too much for a young wizard.

In the Ministry of Magic, wizards in their early twenties may not have gotten rid of the mark of 'intern', just like the girl named Tonks under Rufus, Barty knows she is very good, but she is still a 'trainee Auror'.

"Amosta--"

After a moment's silence, Barty decided to let go of his prejudices for a moment. He walked over with his glass, and the wizard who was around Amosta left on his own after seeing Barty coming.

After Barty gave Amosta a slightly stiff smile, the two men saluted each other with glasses and took small sips of sherry.

"How does it feel?"

"The wine is good, and the wizards here are friendly—" Amosta said tepidly with a shallow smile on her face.

Barty understood what Amosta meant, and his beard moved slightly,

"But the purpose of this party is not to make friends." Barty looked at Madame Maxim with a slightly cold gaze and Fleur Delacour, who calmly dealt with the wizards who thought they were personable, Barty lowered his gaze, his voice slightly disdainful,

"Madame Maxim has obviously brought that popular female student from Beauxbatons School of Magic and Wizardry here for a simple purpose, she wants to rely on her to gain people's favor, you don't know, Amosta, this girl has Meiwa blood."

Amosta glanced at Fleur Delacul, who was smiling confidently, and smiled undeniably.

How can he not see it, how many purebred girls he has seen?

"So," Amosta glanced vaguely at Igor Karkarov, who was complimenting an old wizard who looked not too young and had a white beard.

"Karkaroff looks like a decent gentleman, but he came alone."

"Righteous Gentleman--"

The corners of Barty's mouth twitched a few times, and he said coldly,

"yes, you can see what Karkaroff is, as far as I know, there are celebrities at Durmstrang School, it's not that he doesn't want to bring that kid, it's just that the kid is a Quidditch star, and he's preparing for the World Cup, and he can't get out of it."

"That's not a clever trick—" Amosta took a sip of sherry and joked, "If that works, I can go back to Hogwarts and call Harry Potter over now, and Harry won't lose to them." ”

Barty glared at Amosta in dissatisfaction, and he said that Amosta was on his guard, but Amosta looked useless.

"The wizard that Karkaroff is talking to, his name is Vip Dregern, have you heard of this man?" Barty asked in a low voice.

"Vip Dregern."

Amosta groaned a little and said slowly,

"It is true that this man seems to have worked in the Federation for many years, participated in the hunt for extremists after the fall of Grindelwald, and his prestige is not small, and he seems to want to go further, but after Lady Vicia Santos stepped down from the presidency of the International Confederation of Wizards, the Ministries of Magic unanimously agreed to let Dumbledore come to power.

It is said that he was unhappy with this, and had been secretly at odds with Dumbledore in the Federation. ”

"He's one of the eleven members of the jury, and there are two other members of the jury who have a close relationship with him."

Barty said in a gloomy tone, "So Karkaroff is stammering him." ”

And after Barty pointed out the identity of this person, Amosta's brow furrowed slightly.

There is no doubt that this man is hostile to Hogwarts if he is the only one, but if he can interfere with the choices of the other two, then to a certain extent, he can decide who will host the Triwizard Tournament.

"If Dumbledore were here, VIP Dregon might not dare to speak out against it, but now that he's not there"

Amosta nodded, "You think he'll take the chance"

"None of us can pack a ticket for his character." Barty said dryly.

Barty left, and the jury was not alone in the presence of Vip Dregern, Madame Maxime was also enlisting the support of the other members, and Barty was going to do the same.

Amosta quietly looked at Karkaroff and Vep Dregern who were talking, and it was already obvious what Barty meant just now, he wanted to take care of Vip Dregern by himself. But it's not that easy to do, right. If there is no benefit transfer, it is difficult to get the person to let go of their prejudices and make a choice from a fair point of view.

And Barty had previously told him that the members of the jury had signed a magic pact and were not allowed to accept the benefits of the three parties involved in the campaign.

Of course, a more tactful way is not impossible, but coercion or inducement, Amosta is still weighing.

"Mr. Blaine—"

At this moment, a crisp voice suddenly came from behind Amosta, and he turned his head to see that it was the little girl with the blood of Beauxbatons.

"Huh?" Amosta raised her brow slightly, and smiled, "What do you have to say, Miss Delacour?" ”

"Oh, I just—"

Fleur Delacour shrugged her shoulders, she wanted to smile confidently, but her smile looked a little cramped under the silent gaze of the handsome man in front of her.

It's weird--

Fleur thought that she wouldn't normally feel this cramped and uneasy in front of a man.

"I just ——, I think we should get to know each other, don't we, I mean, we each represent Beauxbatons and Hogwarts, and Triwizard Tournament is a friendship-"

"Ahh

With a smile in his eyes, Amosta nodded knowingly,

"You're trying to convince me to support Beauxbatons School of Witchcraft and Wizardry as the organizer of the Triwizard Tournament?"
