Hogwarts executioner

Chapter 123 No Galleons Are Too Many

Eliza Huppert also entered tomorrow's rematch. The player behind her refused to admit defeat and took the initiative to say to the reporter in the lounge: "Such an ugly witch must be banned from participating. She scared me. It was absolutely terrible, otherwise I wouldn’t have lost.”

Eliza pointed her wand at the chess player and said, "You are so timid. Why are you participating in any competition? Just be your mouse." As soon as she finished speaking, the chess player turned into a mouse.

Everyone looked at Elisa in horror. Without chanting a spell, they used a magic wand to turn an adult wizard into a mouse. This kind of ability can be regarded as a master of transfiguration.

An Auror in the lounge looked helplessly at the indifferent colleague, walked over to help the contestant regain his human form, and warned: "Miss, it is strictly forbidden to cast spells to harm or threaten the contestants, your behavior..."

William interjected: "Sir, according to the rules of the game, it is strictly forbidden to cast spells to threaten the opponent before the game, and it is strictly forbidden to harm the players after the game. But according to the judgment of the French Ministry of Magic Tribunal on Incident 1973 in 1013, when a player is attacked by the opponent, When verbally attacking, the player casts a spell to punish him, and as long as no actual harm is caused, the player is not guilty.”

The Auror asked in bewilderment, "1973?"

"Yes, if you don't believe me, you can check it out. At that time, a victorious chess player was slandered. That chess player turned the opponent into a pig." William laughed.

Eliza Huppert asked: "You haven't read all the relevant rules and cases of the competition, have you?"

William shook his head, and before Eliza and the others could relax, he said, "I only saw the year 1900. I didn't look at the cases before 1900. It's such a waste of time."

Sophia, who had just walked past, stopped, turned around and left.

In order to win, this guy even went through nearly a hundred years of competition dispute cases. I still want to make a deal with him. Isn't this a waste of effort?

Eliza looked at Sophia leaving with a mysterious smile. When the Auror and several chess players saw it, they were so scared that they froze and hurried away.

This appearance is really scary, that chess player was right!

At night, when William was flipping through the book, eight wizards appeared on the roof of a certain building in Paris. At eight o'clock sharp, the old man who had just appeared in the chair knocked on the table and said, "Okay, everyone All are here, everyone's time is precious, Kony, hurry up and talk."

A middle-aged man on the right hand of the old man without any magic power stood up and said: "Gentlemen, so far, a total of 6759825 Galleons have been staked. According to calculations, the most promising one is..."

Until Coney mentioned William Smith, Martin Delacour, who was sitting below, raised his head and glanced. Coney, who was looking in all directions, immediately stopped his report and asked: "Mr. Delacour, do you have anything else to say?"

"It's okay, you continue." Martin Delacour said calmly.

Kony picked up the report and continued: "The current amount of money bet on William Smith has reached 76,531 galleons, ranking twelfth.

According to our calculations, his current personal strength is between 30 and 60.

The best economic benefit is for him to stop in the top 40. If he breaks into the top ten, or even the top three, we will suffer a lot. If he wins the championship, all our profits this year will be swallowed up. "

"Aren't the odds adjusted?" Martin asked.

“Thirty thousand galleons were placed at several different times close to the market, and the headquarters had time to adjust.

Previously, because the odds were set too high, once William Smith won the championship, we would have to compensate 117 million Galleons. Kony said with his head lowered.

"Why should we add him to the list? This is against the rules for a twelve-year-old first-time chess player! It is also against the rules to have such a high odds after adding him in! A large bet of more than 30,000, and the odds were not adjusted in time, which is even more It’s against the rules! Charles, we need an explanation.”

Vincent Moore, the French Deputy Minister of Magic, slapped the table with an angry look on his face.

"I have already said that there is no need to target a kid from the UK. But he refused to listen. Now the boat is overturned. As long as he wins the championship, all the gains this year will be lost." Vincent said angrily.

The Ministry of Magic spends a lot of money and messed up this matter. Without this dividend, he will definitely be sacrificed by the minister.

"Have you found the person who placed the bet?"

Kony lowered his head, glanced at Martin, and said: "The ten thousand Galleons were planted by Miss Fleur Delacour, the ten thousand Galleons were suspected to be planted by the British wizard Minerva McGonagall, and the other ten thousand Galleons were planted by one It's called the Mysterious Witch, but she signs it as William Smith."

A witch glanced at the chair above and said with a smile: "You idiots, when my niece placed the bet, you should immediately adjust the odds. Now it's a full 90 Galleons.

In my opinion, what Minister Moore said is right. Some people are old and still bring grudges from more than ten years ago into their work, and they must bear the main responsibility. "

"Hmph, Taiya. Back then, Minerva McGonagall was heavily bet by the British. So what happened? She didn't stop at the top 10. In the end, the British lost face and galleons." An old wizard said.

Taiya Isabel smiled and said: "I was lucky last time. Seven or eight hidden hands were of no use. In the end, I had to block it with a Bill Jones. Do we have a master like Bill Jones in our hidden hands this time?"

"In order to humiliate people, you can't even calculate 1 times 30? You actually deliberately set up such a high odds." Vincent Moore said sadly, almost pointing at Coney's nose.

"Ahem." Bill Jones said suddenly: "I also have to take a lot of responsibility for this matter. How about it, if it really comes to a critical moment, I will use the compound medicine to prevent him from entering the top ten."

The flushed deputy minister of magic suddenly smiled and nodded, and others also praised the chess king for his righteousness.

Martin smiled and made no comments. For him, the three hundred thousand galleons was about his decision to oppose his brother.

The husband of the princess of the French wizarding world should be the prince of the French wizarding world, not the Muggleborn of England.

The old man in the chair tapped the table with his fingers, and Kony continued: "We suggest that in terms of propaganda, stop humiliating William Smith and avoid creating too much momentum to bring more chips."

Martin nodded and said: "I will say hello to Salma and the others."

Vincent also said: "I will let Vincent turn his attention to other players."
