Chapter 219: New Format
(Thank you for your good tips and support)
If you want to test whether a person is who they are, don't be too easy.
Magic has "ingestion of divine thoughts", magic potions have "truth elixir", and even without the use of wizard methods, Moody's old friend Dumbledore can identify himself by "inquiring about the past". So as soon as Barty Jr. heard Liz say his name, he immediately knew it was going to be bad.
Barty Jr. would like to launch the "Apparition Shift" to rush out directly, so that there may be a glimmer of life, but there are many arrangements for specific magic in Hogwarts Castle to prevent hostile wizards from invading Hogwarts, and naturally "Apparition Shifting", which represents the highest movement power of wizards.
There is no way to escape, and he can't choose to fight, he is just little Barty, not the god of war Barty, even if he ignores the more than three hundred wizard apprentices below, he can't beat the entire team of teachers at Hogwarts. In the end, Barty Jr. chose to settle the matter on his own in order to keep the secret of Voldemort's resurrection plan. The others didn't have time to stop it, but Liz didn't want to stop it, and this development was just right - instead of letting someone wander outside all the time looking for a chance to resurrect, it was better to let him be resurrected and killed directly.
Incidentally, with the power of the "Mission System", he successfully rescued the genuine Defense Against the Dark Arts professor "Moody" who was imprisoned by Barty Jr., and he hid in the magic box in Barty Jr.'s office. Barty Jr. spared his life because he needed to keep drinking a 'Transformation Potion' made with the hair of a living Moody to maintain his transformation.

"Sorry, sorry, it seems to have disturbed your wonderful dinner time~ But the Death Eaters can't let him get away with it, right?" Leeds walked directly in front of the teacher's bench and shouted to the wizard apprentices who had not been able to evacuate in time because the incident had happened too suddenly.
......The wizard apprentices who had fallen into a panic after watching the moment of human death finally calmed down a little.
"As a gift of apology, I am here to announce an official announcement that can be called 'good news' for you." Liz motioned for Sakiya to hand over the official documents to Dumbledore, Karkaroff, and Maxim one by one, and the principals of the three major European magic academies changed their faces at the same time, but they all nodded in an instant and accepted the above content.
"In view of the suspicion of abusing power for personal gain, shielding relatives, assisting in escaping prison and other crimes, Barty Crouch, director of the Department of International Magical Exchange and Cooperation, has been suspended by the Ministry of Magic for investigation." Barty Jr. was a Death Eater backbone, but Barty Sr. was a good man, but his blood was thicker than water...... However, a mistake is a mistake, and he himself is willing to accept the punishment, "After an emergency secret meeting of the Ministry of Magic of the Three Kingdoms, it was finally decided that Barty Crouch's work during this period of time would be taken over by me, and I would be fully responsible for this 'Triwizard Tournament'. ”
Enthusiastic cheers and applause erupted, and with the popularity that Leeds had accumulated in the past two years, Barty Jr. was forgotten...... Of course, compared to the boys, the girls were more excited, just like Hermione Granger was about to slap her palms red.
"Thank you for your support~" Liz stretched out his hand, his fingers swinging downward, signaling to be quiet, "The competition time, competition items, referee team selection, and venue layout of the Triwizard Tournament are mainly discussed by the principals of the three major colleges, and I only advise and supervise them from the side - don't say who I favor after that." ”
Dumbledore, Karkaroff, and Maxim nodded secretly, they were still worried about Leeds' messing around, so that they could ensure that the game went smoothly; Beauxbatons and Durmstrang wizarding apprentices are also relieved that the current Hogwarts professor is at the helm, and they don't have to worry about ghosts.
But they apparently reassured too early, and the rest was the main thing, "but I think the rules of the game are too boring!" One vote passes, no objections, according to what I say now. ”
"A competition that has been separated for more than a century, how can three people participate alone, it is too lonely!" As soon as Liz said this, the principals knew that the man was going to do something, "The number of participants in each school has risen to ten. ”
The students cheered, which greatly increased their likelihood of participating, but some people also noticed the keyword, "Professor Leeds, you just said 'group of ten'?" ”
"Well, isn't that the game a great way for young wizards to build friendships? What the hell is it to fight alone, all applicants are required to work in pairs! …… If it weren't for the fear that you wouldn't accept it, I'd like to make it mandatory that the same group of members must be from different houses......" Liz said with a look of regret.
"Uh......" The students looked at each other.
They genuinely felt that Liz's statement made sense, but it was also psychologically difficult to accept that they should team up with people they didn't know.
Leeds also knew that there were only a dozen people from the other two schools, and said: "There may not be enough students from Beauxbatons and Durmstrang, and then the two principals, Karkaroff and Maxim, can come to me, and I can have the merchant ship under my name pick up the additional contestants from your school." ”
Karkaroff and Maxim were noncommittal, not dissatisfied with Leeds' thoughtful arrangement, but fundamentally dissatisfied with the new rules. It's just that Liz has the official paperwork of his country's Ministry of Magic in his hand, and they can't even protest.
"Finally, the age limit for participation has been lifted...... Even if you are a first-year freshman, if you can qualify for the competition in the hands of your seniors, you can still play! "However, don't make a mess of the fake Lori you brought with me, and Liz plans to talk to them in the evening.
"I want to participate!"
"Professor Leeds, I love you!"
Fred and George, now 16, stood up and shouted.
"Thanks to the Weasley brothers for their confession, but I only like women...... Speaking of which, Hogwarts' internal selection system is up for debate, but in my mind, the Hogwarts team, in addition to 'Savior + the smartest student in the school' and 'Wizard of Physics + his little girlfriend', is a pair of creative 'naughty twins', which will at least make the competition a little interesting. Liz said very deliberately.
"Xiuxiu~~!" The students can naturally hear what Leeds means, this is an open and honest selection of contestants! All Gryffindor whistled Harry Potter, Hermione Granger, Fred Weasley, and George Weasley; The Slytherins next to Astoria Greengrass were also laughing at her, everyone knew she was a drag bottle, and Draco Malfoy had to do two things alone.
"In the end, adding so many players to this competition for no reason makes the competition much fiercer, and the prize money of 1,000 gold galleons is a bit not enough to see - it's up to me to give you some motivation to participate." Liz waved his hand.
I saw Sakiya and Hong Meiling each take out a large bundle of magic bags, fly to the two corners of the hall in the air, attach the magic bags to the wall and hang them upside down one by one.
After all the magic bags were hung upside down, the two nodded to each other, and at the same time ripped off the sealing rope on the magic bags, only to see the golden waterfall pouring down, hitting the ground with an endless crisp sound.
“…………!” The students' mouths opened wide, but they couldn't make a sound.
It was as if they were waiting for the golden waterfall to stop before expressing their amazement at once, but until two golden hills appeared in their field of vision, the golden gallons were still falling.
"This is the bounty I got from hunting monsters in Yanan during the past two summer vacations, how much is it?" Liz spread his hands and shook his head, "I only know that the European Magic Headquarters still owes me a large amount of gold galleons that I haven't paid, and when I finish stealing the Death Eater's property, I will use the undeveloped land to pay off the debt, and wait for me, a Taoist priest, to get back and return to the East to cultivate immortals, and then take it back, the official is a hooligan." ”
In other words, the ancient kings and their minions who had awakened from Anan were so strong that their bounties were too heavy to bear at the European Magic Headquarters, but they were even more worried about the withdrawal of Leeds, Onion Knight, Sun Knight, and Malfoy.
"I keep these gold galleons useless, take them out as bonuses: 100 gold gallons for the contestants, 1,000 gold gallons for those who pass the first level, 5,000 gold gallons for those who pass the second level, 10,000 gold galleons for those who pass the third level, and the first place for the remaining bonus will get 60%, the second place will get 20%, the third place will get 10%, the fourth place will get 7 percent, and the fifth place will get the last 3 percent - I think, as long as you don't squander too much, you can get rich for a lifetime if you take the fifth."
“!!!”
