Chapter 254 Ludo: He Gave Too Much
"I didn't know, I used the confusion spell on the line and the Goblet of Fire, and then put my name in it.
"As for why the Goblet of Fire selected so many people, I don't know what's wrong with it. Besides, being selected proves that it has the qualifications, doesn't it?"
Kahn leaned against the wall and said indifferently, I cheated on my own ability, you guys have a hammer to talk about, I am not a weak chicken like Harry, I am a coward.
"Dumbledore, you have made a fine student."
"What about you? What's going on here?"
After glaring at Kahn, Madam Maxim turned her attention to the students of Beauxbatons.
After all, this matter is really a bit unusual, and I hope that with my prestige, I can ask them something.
"We all voted together, and we don't know what happened."
A girl stood up and said cautiously, this is a contract signed, the contract in the magic world is either not signed, but must be abided by after signing, otherwise it is not certain what kind of situation you will encounter.
Now Mrs. Maxim was helpless, she glanced around, either she didn't speak or she didn't know the situation, and she didn't ask anything.
As for Kahn, he really didn't know what to say. Others relied on their abilities, even if Dumbledore didn't say anything, what qualifications did he, the headmaster of a foreign school, have to refute.
Besides, this is not a little wizard who can be handled casually by himself, and Mrs. Maxim has to weigh it if she really wants to tie the knot.
"Mr. Crouch!"
327 "Mr. Bagman!"
Madame Maxim frowned and turned her gaze to the two Ministry of Magic officials.
"You are the organizers of this competition, and you are also fair participants in the auction. If you say that this competition is going to be done like this!"
"This has never happened before in the Triwizard Tournament. Now, should we re-register, or choose the top three warriors to participate..."
"how to say!"
"It is indeed against the rules to have eighteen warriors now, but the problem is that this contract has already been established. According to the procedure, each of them must participate in the competition, otherwise the Goblet of Fire will only be destroyed."
Ludo rubbed his chin with a look of embarrassment on his face. Being selected by the Goblet of Fire means signing a contract with the Goblet of Fire. He must participate in the competition. This is the rule set by the founder of the Triwizard Tournament.
Now if you want to break the contract, you can only destroy the Goblet of Fire. Only in this way can you end the contract without participating in the Triwizard Tournament. Although the Goblet of Fire is very useful, it still has a great symbolic meaning. It is not a last resort. I really can't just give it a shot like this.
What's more, he didn't want Mrs. Maxim to continue to make trouble like this. There are only six people in a school like this, but this cannot be said clearly.
"Bagman is right. Those selected by (bedh) will not participate in the Triwizard Tournament. They cannot withstand the backlash of the contract, so we have no choice, right?"
Barty Crouch said seriously, it's not that Maxim didn't know about this problem but she just didn't want to face it, Barty Crouch could only point it out.
"We'll forget it this time, but I don't think there will be a Triwizard Tournament in the future."
Madam Maxime glared at Dumbledore, although Kahn was very hateful, Dumbledore couldn't get away with it.
Who would believe that a fourteen-year-old wizard could break Dumbledore's magic with a confusion spell?
It's just that you can't do it yourself!
"Okay, let's move on!"
Ludo smiled and looked at the people in the room. Since Mrs. Maxim has no objections, the Triwizard Tournament can undoubtedly continue.
"Now it's time to explain the rules to our warriors."
"Barty, it's up to you to tell the story!"
"Okay." Barty Crouch stepped forward and said with a straight face: "The first project is to test your guts. I'm not going to tell you the specific project..."
Barty Crouch was speaking in front of him, but Kahn didn't listen carefully, but turned his gaze to Ludo Bagman at the side.
The moment he looked into his eyes, Legilimency was activated directly. Although it was only level five, it was enough. After all, Ludo's strength was really not good.
This can't browse his memory directly, but it can know the thoughts in his heart at the moment.
Unless he can fool himself, otherwise the secrets in his heart will be fully exposed in front of Legilimency.
There is also Legilimency to know whether the opponent is controlled by the Imperius Curse. If the mind is rigid like a robot, then there is a problem, but this is not the case with Ludo at the moment, which means that Ludo is not under the Imperius Curse state of manipulation.
But even so, Kahn is still checking Ludo's thoughts at the moment, and at the moment he is thankful and complaining.
Fortunately, this Triwizard Tournament came as scheduled. Although the process was very twists and turns, it was successfully held in the end.
What he complained about was the culprit who made this Triwizard Tournament so complicated. He almost lost the follow-up 100,000 Galleons, which was enough to pay off all the Galleons he owed from the Quidditch World Cup. Can kill a little more.
He thought of that desperate night again, because he borrowed 100,000 Galleons from the goblin during the Quidditch World Cup to make a comeback.
At this time, a wizard wrapped in a black robe came to the door. If it was before, he would definitely drive him away, but he was invited in for some reason that day, and finally made a deal with him, worth 150,000 gold plus Long.
He paid 50,000 Galleons first, and the remaining 100,000 was delivered after the Triwizard Tournament. What he needed to do was to hand over the Triwizard Cup to the black-robed wizard in front of him to make it. The holding of the Triwizard Tournament eliminates the difficulties that may be encountered in the middle, and there is nothing else for him.
Although this matter is difficult, it is not impossible for him, the director of the Department of Magical Sports.
After thinking for three seconds, he took over the task.
Anyway, there is no risk. If you work hard and succeed, the debt will be gone. If you fail, you will not lose if you continue to run.
Legilimency is used here, and Kahn knows what's going on. In the original book, Barty Crouch was controlled by his son, so naturally he doesn't have that chance at this moment.
Then Ludo, who was in too much debt, became the target, and there was no use of the Imperius Curse. After all, the Imperius Curse may be suspected of breaking free, and there is a risk of being discovered. It is much safer to lure directly.
"Okay, all warriors, now please go back and prepare for the first project."
While Kahn was thinking, Barty Crouch had run through all the dos and don'ts.
From the beginning to the end, Kahn didn't hear any useful news at all, so forget it and go back and ask Kashan Della.
"Dumbledore, I suddenly realized a problem. We only prepared three fire dragons for the first project, but now we need eighteen. There are seriously not enough fire dragons!"
After only him Dumbledore and Barty Crouch were present, Ludo said with a pale face.
If you want to bring in eighteen fire dragons, it's simply impossible. Not to mention whether there are so many dragon farms, just need to take care of eighteen fire dragons outside, which requires more than a hundred wizards. The difficulty is too great Yes!
"Let's make a change!"
Dumbledore said calmly, the matter has come to this point, he can only bite the bullet and go on.
"Can!"
Barty Crouch still has that poker face. .
