Chapter 662: This Is the Original Intention of the Triwizard Tournament, Isn't It?

After Dumbledore finished speaking, Crouch added.

"Yes, the difficulty of the semi-finals is determined based on the average level of the warriors. If it were lowered, this game would not be any challenging for Mr. Hals."

The two sang together, making Maxim and Karkaroff very angry.

However, they couldn't say anything to refute, because the four participating warriors had all been attacked by mermaids, and everyone was treated the same...

Moreover, Krum was knocked unconscious by a group of mermaids due to his own recklessness. Fleur and Harry, who had the same experience as him, relied on magic to quickly get rid of the pursuit of a large number of mermaids.

In contrast, Ivan’s performance has attracted even more attention.

On the way to the mermaid village, Ivan encountered more troubles than the other warriors.

But whether he was facing a Grindylow that suddenly appeared or a huge giant squid, Ivan could always deal with it calmly and solve these troubles easily, receiving a lot of praise and applause.

So in the next few minutes, Karkaroff's face remained very ugly.

Maxim didn't fare much better, especially when he saw Fleur having just escaped from the mermaid's pursuit and then ran into the trap, his whole face darkened, and he was both angry and a little distressed.

The happiest person on the field was Bagman. Seeing Ivan overcoming obstacles while the other warriors were in constant trouble, he almost laughed out loud on the spot.

He seemed to see countless gold galleons waving to him, and Bagman even secretly regretted why he didn't buy more when he made the bet.

Dumbledore was also in a very good mood, but he just took care of the emotions of Karkaroff and others. He did not show this joy. He still frowned, looking worried about the current situation of the Warriors.

After such a delay, Furong's situation at the bottom of the lake became worse and worse.

She failed to break free of the trap immediately. Her hands and feet were bound by the tangled black water plants, and she was unable to escape. The harder she struggled, the tighter her body became...

The students in the audience watching this scene were worried. Some little witches couldn't bear to turn their heads away, unwilling to watch this cruel scene.

Maxim felt his heart twitching together, and he immediately turned his head to look at Dumbledore, pleading without caring about his face.

"Principal Dumbledore, Hogwarts has won this game. Please send the guarding Aurors as soon as possible to bring back our Beauxbatons warriors and hostages."

"And Krum, you have to bring him up too!" Karkaroff also hurriedly added.

Although Krum has been carried on Harry's back since he was knocked unconscious by the mermaid, so there is no need to worry about safety issues, but if Krum finishes the game in this way, Durmstrang will undoubtedly be embarrassed.

Karkarov no longer dares to think about how this match will be described on the front page of the Daily Prophet tomorrow. He has only one thought now, and that is to rush down and get this embarrassing thing up!

"There is no rush... If Aurors are dispatched now, it may interfere with the competition process of other warriors." Dumbledore shook his head and rejected their proposal.

Maxim glared at Dumbledore angrily.

In her opinion, Dumbledore deliberately wanted to see Beauxbatons and Durmstrang's warriors embarrassed.

After all, this game has turned into an internal fight among the Hogwarts warriors, and Ivan's performance has been extremely outstanding. The winner has already been determined, and sending Aurors to intervene to rescue the wounded will not have any impact on the game at all.

"Please be more patient, Ms. Maxim. I have always believed that winning or losing is not everything in this game..." How could Dumbledore not understand what Maxim was thinking? He comforted him and said Instruct the other person to look at the crystal ball on the far right.

Maxim sneered at Dumbledore's blabbering remarks, but when he looked along the direction, he discovered that the situation on the field had changed again.

Ivan, who had been in the lead and had successfully rescued the hostages, stopped and rescued the trapped Fleur. Then at Fleur's request, he was hesitating whether to go back to rescue Gabrielle.

Harry on the other side also forcefully carried Krum on his back and continued the game. Even though he encountered several mermaids blocking him halfway, he had no intention of leaving Krum behind.

"This is the original intention of the Triwizard Tournament, isn't it?" Dumbledore said with emotion as he looked at the scenes in the crystal ball.

The purpose of establishing the Triwizard Tournament was to promote friendly exchanges between the three major magic schools in Europe. However, as time went by, the event gradually evolved into a competition that involved any means necessary to gain fame and win.

In the competition that lasted for more than 700 years, there were many warriors who chose to "accidentally" kill their opponents during the competition.

Even the major principals will secretly play tricks in order to compete for the title of Europe's number one magic school, so that cheating has become a tradition in the competition.

It can be said that the extremely high death rate in the Triwizard Tournament is inseparable from this bad competition atmosphere.

This also made the competition originally held to enhance communication end up deepening the gap between the three major magic schools, until conflicts broke out and communication was cut off. This has to be regretted.

Now Ivan and Harry's behavior of assisting their opponents in the game seems rare and valuable.

Looking at the scenes presented in the crystal ball, Karkaroff and Maxim fell into a long silence.

"I think friendly competitions like this should continue, what do you think?" Dumbledore turned to look at the two of them and asked.

"Okay, next time the Triwizard Tournament is held, we at Beauxbatons will consider participating." Maxim hesitated for a moment, then relaxed.

Karkaroff didn't give any face at all and said sarcastically. "The premise is that there won't be two more warriors suddenly appearing in Hogwarts!"

Dumbledore was startled, and then he smiled bitterly. This situation was also not what he wanted to see.

But Dumbledore knew very well that no matter how he explained it, Karkaroff and Maxim would not believe it.

"Okay, everyone, you can save your time for chatting later! We should prepare in advance, the warriors will be back soon!" Crouch interrupted the conversation of the three principals.

Dumbledore nodded and waved his wand to conjure several thick blankets and stretchers. He also ordered the Ravenclaw prefects to call Madam Pomfrey who was on standby in the tent so that they could be given to her as soon as possible. Several injured warriors were treated.
