Chapter 361 Fudge Almost Met Merlin in Advance

News about the duel spread throughout Europe instantly and had a huge impact.

Although in the previous Six Wizards Tournament, Harley also used weather spells on a large scale in the first project, and even recreated the legendary flood to a limited extent.

But the Six Wizards Tournament is, after all, a competition between six universities. Among the eleven officially recognized magic schools in the world, the number of schools participating in the competition is only just over half.

In addition, reporters are not allowed to enter the school to interview or film, and adult wizards cannot go to the scene to watch the game. Only the students can actually witness it with their own eyes.

Therefore, the newspaper's publicity for the Six Powers Tournament was actually not as strong as imagined.

Although Rita has been doing her best to write reports, unfortunately she is only one person after all.

But the International Wizarding Duel Competition is different. Wizards from any corner of the world can participate in the competition, so almost every country has newspapers voluntarily sending reporters.

During the breakout stage, almost only journalists from Spain and several nearby European countries entered the stadium through good relationships with the officials. In addition, the quality of the competition was uneven, so there was no valuable news.

However, after entering the knockout round, there were so many empty seats in the players' rest area, and many newspapers that had not grabbed tickets finally succeeded in lining up their reporters into the arena.

Harley's game was the first of the knockout rounds, so it naturally received the most attention.

Therefore, with the efforts of a large number of reporters and photographers and word of mouth from the audience, the big scenes created by Harley continued to spread at an extremely fast speed.

The headlines of almost every newspaper were about the grand occasion of the first round of the knockout rounds, placing the weather spell used by Harley and the silver-clad scene of the arena in the most conspicuous position.

Newspapers including newspapers in the British wizarding world are no exception.

Although Fudge recently disliked Harry and Dumbledore and tried to smear them in newspapers every day, this did not prevent the newspapers from reporting on Harry as much as they wanted.

For example, the Daily Prophet, the largest in the British wizarding world, does have a good relationship with the British Ministry of Magic.

However, this newspaper is not one of those Muggle news companies that receives funding from the government.

The British Ministry of Magic will only provide them with some gold galleons when they need it. When they don't need it, they will get nothing. The Prophet newspaper will be responsible for its own profits and losses.

The Prophet has no serious illness, so how can he be a loyal dog of the British Ministry of Magic? Making money is the first priority.

Offend the Ministry of Magic? If you offend me, you will be offended. I really feel like I have no backing in the Ministry of Magic.

Which of the larger newspapers doesn't have one or several neutral pure-blood families standing behind it?

Thanks to the efforts of various newspapers, Harley's reputation has spread even in the distant magical circles of Australia and Latin America.

While Harley was still resting in the hotel, she felt that the number of anchors in her body was increasing crazily every moment.

It can only be said that he is worthy of being a wizard with the largest proportion of the Extraordinary characteristics of the Audience Path in his body. The anchors provided are the same as those of the Extraordinaries of the Audience Path, and the quality is high!

But with Harley being so beautiful, some people are unhappy.

"What's going on?" Fudge shouted angrily at his confidant Umbridge at the Ministry of Magic early in the morning.

"Why were all the newspapers praising Potter like crazy yesterday?"

"Forget it about foreign ones, we can't control them, but those British newspapers... didn't the Ministry of Magic provide them with gold galleons to smear Dumbledore and Potter?"

"They were praising Potter when I didn't offer the Galleons, and they were still praising Potter after I offered the Galleons."

"Then wouldn't I just provide these gold galleons for nothing?"

"How dare they take money and do nothing?!"

Umbridge shrank her head as much as possible, and did not dare to say anything after being sprayed with saliva all over her face, but she was secretly complaining in her heart.

You, the Minister of Magic, approved a hundred thousand gold galleons in public opinion funds on your account, and sold the operating rights of the Ministry of Magic cafeteria to pure-blood families for the next twenty years.

In the end, you only gave me 50,000 yuan, and I still had to go to the commissioner to handle the matter, and everyone had to make money.

In the end, it’s hard to say whether the newspapers can share ten thousand gold galleons equally. Do you really treat them as your dogs?

However, Umbridge would never dare to say these words, so she could only accompany Fudge to scold various newspapers when his anger subsided.

After the incompetent rage, Fudge asked angrily: "Did they pass the proposal I proposed yesterday?"

Fudge had been trying to push the Ministry of Magic to enact new laws yesterday, hoping to convict Dumbledore and Harry so that he could have reason to imprison them in Azkaban.

At the same time, Fudge also fantasized about abolishing the re-election system of the Minister of Magic and directly changing this position to a lifetime tenure, so that his status would not always be peeped by others.

That's why he didn't discover the report in the newspaper until he was free this morning.

"Sorry, Minister." Umbridge carefully took out a document.

"All your proposals...were rejected. Even your supporters, the pure-blood families, voted against it."

"What? Are they all negative votes? Including those who support me?" An expression of disbelief appeared on Fudge's face.

"Why? Did they explain why?"

"The apparent reason is that they feel these laws are inappropriate and will disrupt the order of the Ministry of Magic."

Umbridge's voice became quieter and quieter,

"But Mr. Malfoy has privately asked me to remind you that if you attempt to use the laws you have just enacted to judge your past actions, you will offend all the pureblood families who support you."

"And your push to cancel the minister's re-election is also regarded by the pure-blood family as robbing their interests."

"That's why the opinions of the Wizengamot governing body are so unified. Both half-blood and pure-blood wizards voted against you."

Hearing this, Fudge's eyes suddenly darkened and he slumped down in his chair. It took him a long time to recover.

"Then cancel these proposals. You must not offend the purebloods." He said weakly, and decided not to think about these troublesome things today.

Just then an owl flew into the minister's office and delivered today's Daily Prophet.

Fudge thought he could read the newspaper to change his mood, so he picked up today's report.

He subconsciously glanced at the first page of the newspaper and found that the picture was a gloomy cemetery.

"Well, good, no Potter today...f**k!"

A crucible suddenly appeared in the picture, and a thin figure was slowly crawling out of it, and mosaics were made at key locations.

Moreover, that figure had appeared in public many times more than ten years ago, and older wizards would not be unfamiliar with it.

That figure is Voldemort.

Fudge was so frightened that he threw the newspaper in his hand on the table, as if the thin newspaper contained some terrifying devil.

Umbridge on the side was a little curious, and out of the corner of her eye she caught a glimpse of the face that occupied the entire screen.

Suddenly, there was another shrill scream in the minister's office.

After nearly ten minutes of fear, Fudge finally managed to calm down.

He controlled his trembling hands to pick up the newspaper and began to try to read the contents of the newspaper.

But what caught his eye first was what he least expected to see.

# "The bones of the father, the blood of the enemy, the flesh of the servant - the resurrection of the mysterious man, who is lying?" 》

Author: Rita Skeeter

Photographer: Rita Skeeter

This material was personally witnessed by the author and is accompanied by detailed evidence. All contents are true. #

Even though he hadn't read the content yet, Fudge felt a sharp pain in his heart when he saw the title.

He lost consciousness instantly, his fat body jumped forward, hit the table hard, and then slid to the floor.

The ink bottle on the edge of the table fell down and hit him hard on the head, causing Fudge to faint.

"Minister, minister!" Umbridge suddenly started wailing and rushed towards the door like crazy, "Someone come quickly, something happened to the minister!"

Now only I and the minister are in this room, and the room is shrouded in magic. If the minister dies, her political career will be over.

It doesn't matter whether the minister dies or not, only your political career matters!

In addition to Fudge, the protagonist of the newspaper report was also completely angry after seeing the news.

"Dirty bugs! Rats in the sewers! Mudbloods hiding in the sewers!"

In the secret room, Voldemort cursed angrily and slammed the newspaper on the wall.

He was angry because his resurrection was publicized in the newspapers.

This in itself is nothing, after all, similar news has appeared many times.

But Rita provided evidence this time, including photos of her resurrection, a group of pictures of her fighting with Harley and being beaten and running away, and a theoretical analysis of the magic used in her resurrection.

The magic used to resurrect himself has been blurred to prevent people from using it to do evil.

But the limited information revealed was enough for those magic masters to analyze the authenticity of this matter.

"Lucius, how do you conceal information?" Voldemort looked at the old Malfoy kneeling next to him, and his anger became a little more intense.

His foot stepped hard on old Malfoy's golden hair, and he kept twisting his bare feet.

Old Malfoy's face was pressed to the ground, looking extremely humiliated, but he did not dare to move.

It's just that he was stepped on. It's good to escape the Cruciatus Curse.

It's a pity that he was unable to avoid the torture of the Cruciatus Curse in the end. After Voldemort wiped his feet clean, he immediately switched to a more efficient torture method.

Finally, looking at the dying old Malfoy at his feet, Voldemort put away his wand.

"How is the mission to invade the Department of Mysteries completed now?"

"Report to the master," Old Malfoy said as loudly as he could while enduring the severe pain.

"I'm already in contact with Fudge and have agreed to donate another gold galleons to him."

"At the same time, I am going to guide him and make him go crazy for the position of Minister of Magic and completely fall out with Dumbledore."

"By then I believe that both of them will be busy with political struggles and will naturally have no time to worry about our plan to invade the Department of Mysteries."

Voldemort nodded: "I will not interfere much with your plan."

"But if you fail, I think you are probably not qualified to hold a wand anymore."

"By the way, write another letter to those stupid pigs, telling them to speed up their contact with giants and dementors, and not to affect our plan!"

Old Malfoy immediately obeyed, kowtowed repeatedly, and crawled backwards to leave the secret room.

In the corridor outside the secret room, the portraits of the Malfoy family ancestors looked at the miserable state of their children. They couldn't help but sigh, choosing to be out of sight and out of mind, and disappeared from the paintings one after another.

Old Malfoy was too embarrassed to look at the portrait of his ancestor, and quickly returned to his bedroom with his head lowered.

He seemed to have made some decisions, and a fierce look suddenly flashed in his eyes.

…………

Harry, who was far away in Spain, didn't know that the job she had arranged for Rita almost caused Fudge to meet Merlin in advance. She also didn't know that Malfoy Malfoy had made a cameo appearance as Voldemort's temporary foot wipe.

She was still competing at this time and won four consecutive victories to reach the finals.

And in the next three games, Harley chose the most exaggerated style of play in each game, creating a big scene.

The arena is either filled with flames, violent storms, or thunderclouds.

The opponents in these three games were all unbeaten and did not cause her any difficulties.

In the 16th to 8th round, Harley encountered an African wizard.

This wizard masters a unique African magic - the human body transformation technique unique to Wagadu.

This human body transformation technique not only allows wizards to turn into animals, but also breaks through the limitations of Animagus, allowing people to transform into elephants or rhinos, animals that are much larger in weight and size than wizards.

It's a pity that the African wizard's actual combat ability is not very good. After turning into an elephant, he can only rush forward and even bear Harley's flames.

So the braided wizard unfortunately collapsed and experienced free medical treatment at the Spanish Magical Hospital for Injuries and Injuries that he could not experience in Gavadu.

The opponent in the eight-to-four match was an old acquaintance, a dark wizard from the Neon Magic House.

Needless to say, this dark wizard has similar moves to his apprentice, both summoning a large number of shikigami.

But the magic he used was even more evil, and even required blood to activate these black magic shikigami.

And when he saw Harley, he provoked her with dirty words. After the game started, he took the lead and struck hard, using various deadly spells and shikigami to attack.

Harley didn't tolerate him and directly used the thunder and lightning spell in the weather spell to destroy all his shikigami.

However, I don't know if this neon black wizard is used to being tough-talking. Even after all the shikigami were destroyed, he did not admit defeat and launched a strong charge.

Harley was "soft-hearted" and just wanted to give him two thunderbolts and let him go to the magic hospital to recuperate for a while.

Unexpectedly, this dark wizard who was living a good life was really tough. Even after being beaten to the ground, he refused to admit defeat and refused to let the referee declare him a loser.

Perhaps he was waiting for a referee, a referee who had poor eyesight, deliberately favored him, and sent him all the way to the finals.

It's a pity that this is Spain and the referees have good eyesight.

So the dark wizard from the magic house finally enjoyed a two-minute free electrotherapy and was sent to the hospital, where he died.

But nothing happened to Harley, and she wasn't even warned by the organizer.

After all, this dark wizard's performance in the competition was obvious to all. In the end, the organizer judged that he had brought it upon himself and needed to bear full responsibility.
