Chapter 454: Reform of the Triwizard Tournament

‘This is too abstract. ’

Andrew looked at the document in his hand and felt sick.

What kind of rubbish is Karkaroff doing again!

What do you mean there are more than three magic schools in Europe? It’s too bullying to call it the Three-Power Competition!

You are dealing with 77 countries here, and a bunch of members at a time?

Please, you still hate it and won’t die?

I can keep an eye on the new Moody, but you are dealing with students from Kodos Reitz Magic School. How can I check them!

Don’t you have any idea who is the number one target of hatred?

Besides, what is there to pull? They have no money and no foundation. After the change just now, where did they get the funds?

Andrew understands Karkaroff’s idea very well.

The reputation is so bad that it can’t be saved, so why not pull someone worse and let everyone compete with each other.

Kodoth Reeds School of Magic had just suffered an incident, and the magic world was running out of supplies. Bringing them in was to show the good reputation of wizards helping wizards among the purebloods, to ensure that the newcomers were at the bottom, and to raise the standard of the competition.

‘But even their flying brooms are different from ours, what are you doing here? Are you going to see them playing Quidditch with trees? ’

And bringing people in is a lot of hassles. You should do it at the beginning, at least there is still room for negotiation. After that, everyone will be busy with the OWLs exams, who has time to chat with you about this?

Moreover, if Kodoth Reeds is brought in, what about the other schools?

Beauxbatons Labrador, Uganda's Uganda School of Magic, Hogwarts Labrador, the traditional ally of Castellobushe?

There is also a rising star, Ilvermorny, whose relationship with this side is even more subtle, will they bring it in?

You can't just bring one in whenever you want, right?

And if the other party doesn't pay for it, what's the point?

"I don't quite agree. It's really no good to bring them in. Even if we give in, how can we convince Beauxbatons? The European Four Schools League sounds good, but in fact it only provides some new magic props and some special magic materials," Andrew said after confirming that he had read the document carefully and had not missed anything. "My opinion is to refuse it."

"What if there is a condition that is not in writing, Taylor," Professor McGonagall said with a relaxed expression, "They decided to open an underground area during the Christmas holiday to the warriors of each school, and it will be every session after the competition."

"Underground area?"

Andrew was stunned and began to recall the information.

Most of the buildings in Kodos Dorez are located above the mysterious lake. They were built in the 13th century and founded by the Russian wizard Rasputin.

The underground area is at the bottom of the mysterious lake. The ancient holy spells and purification spells do not cover this area, so from time to time, you can encounter some beings from the wizard war. Old ghosts and corpses often appear in the underground area...

Because it is too dangerous and there will be some strange inheritances, ordinary students are prohibited from entering and leaving there at will.

‘You don’t even allow your own students to enter, but now you open it to the warriors of the three schools, why don’t you open the library as well…’

This is equivalent to Hogwarts opening the entire Forbidden Forest to other schools - this is simply a joke.

‘This ambition is too big…’

Although it is only for the warriors, Andrew has no share, but this price is indeed acceptable.

Durmstrang is not in urgent need of Hogwarts - Hogwarts is far behind in the anti-dark magic class, and it is a practical holy land. Playing there for a Christmas holiday will definitely be a rapid improvement for the warriors.

And the warriors have gained experience, which is basically equivalent to a large number of students in the same college getting a teacher who can explain - the various colleges are still very united, unless they occasionally encounter weirdos, otherwise the effect of strengthening weaknesses is extremely good.

“If this is the case, I have no objection, even if they have no money, they deserve a seat.”

What is the Triwizard Tournament? The times are progressing, Europe must unite, and it is very reasonable to have four in the Triwizard Tournament!

"Then, there's no need to look at Ilvermorny. Albus and I think so too. Adding one quota is enough. As for financial support, let's see the results of this session first," Professor McGonagall nodded. "If the results are good, it's not impossible to gradually promote other schools to join. If the results are poor, they won't offer any more."

That's right. You are traditional, but if you do a bad job, they may pull people to run it on their own side - but if you have no experience in hosting, it's not easy to do it. Let's see the response first.

'If this session is successful, the next session, I calculated, will be four years later... My classmates in the same grade are really miserable, just can't catch up...'

Andrew calculated, with an unchanged expression on his face.

The matter was negotiated by Professor McGonagall, and this condition had nothing to do with him. He planned to go back and burn some Galleons later - the potion was still improving rapidly.

"In addition, there is one more thing. The competition committee has decided that you will be a judge."

Professor McGonagall said easily, as if it was just an ordinary thing.

"Yes, I will - wait, Professor?"

Andrew's eyes widened.

No, it's fine if he is not allowed to participate, but what does this judge mean?

"The Triwizard Tournament is a cheating competition, you know that, right?"

Professor McGonagall explained, with a very serious expression on her face, as if cheating is natural.

I found a correct version on the 16-9 book forum!

But it is true that the three have been playing for many years, this is an old tradition, and it cannot be lost.

"I've read quite a few, yes."

"So, they don't trust you, even if it's agreed, what if we cheat?"

Professor McGonagall spread her hands, "Things that are not in the rules can always be circumvented, but the rules clearly stipulate that players who use the referee's rights will be expelled from the competition."

"Wait a minute, professor, what does this mean?"

"Yes, there have been cases where players influenced the referee to change the score."

The professor looked like this was a traditional operation, "Besides, even if you agree not to participate, you'd better be a referee and improve the reputation of the event. After all, it has been discontinued for a long time."

'The co-author is still a mascot, and yes, the suspension has been too long...but it's not like what the professor said. The main reason is that I got full medals last time. ’

"So, once you accept the appointment, you will use your power as a referee before the game starts to minimize the possibility of you becoming a warrior."

The professor looked at Andrew and said, "It's a good thing too. You and I will go to Kodos Dorez to check the safety of the underground area they are going to open."

'Isn't this a special offer for the organizer...'

Andrew could tell at a glance what kind of benefit this was.

"So, you'd better learn some daily language during this period. It doesn't need to be too much, just be able to communicate simply. The library is not open. In addition, there are many special herbs and the like there, so you can continue your practice."

The professor nodded, "That's all, but the identity of your referee must be kept confidential and will not be announced until the beginning of the next semester."
