Chapter 237: After the game
(1)
"Lucius, Narcissa, congratulations on having a wonderful son."
Igor Karkaroff, a former Death Eater who, after being captured, confessed the names of other Death Eaters in exchange for his freedom, and became close friends with Lucius Malfoy, who also abandoned his companions. Therefore, he was more than acceptable to Draco Malfoy's impressive results and strong strength, at least not as iron-faced as Fred and George had when they achieved perfect scores.
...... "Narcissa doesn't know what to say, she can't say that even she doesn't know her son can fight like this!?" Now she just wants to hug her baby son for a while, and she also knows that the gain is proportional to the effort, how much suffering does her son have to endure in a ghost place like Yanan to eat this strength?
Lucius was a little better, and replied calmly, "Thank you for the compliment...... But, Igor, you know, no one can afford this money, and there is no need to worry too much about the position in this game. ”
"I understand, of course I understand...... "Only the murderous monsters in the Yanan region can make the European Magic Headquarters pay unlimited money, and only Liz, who is more powerful than the monsters, can keep this money, and the adults in the power circle know this very well, "It's just that no one will hand over what is nominally their own for nothing, and no one will not leave a part for themselves, right?" ”
"Hehe~" Lucius smiled, this is inevitable, everyone will do the same thing, and after today's scene, the Malfoy family should be able to multiply the 'part of their own stay' several times, and then exchange it for several times the reputation.
"But ......," Karkaroff muttered as he looked at Liz, who had already jumped off the field and healed the dragons with immortal magic, "how did he do it in more than two years to turn a child upside down?" ”
“…… Igor, believe me, you won't want to know. Lucius said melancholy.
That night, that sword, that stab.
I will never forget it.

"Handsome! A real-life version of the Dragon Slayer! ”
"One-time, within three minutes, no damage, knock down three adult dragons!"
"If I can have this glorious moment in my wizarding career, even death is worth it!"
"I hate the Malfoy family...... On this day, though, I, George Weasley, was an avid fan of his!! ”
"And me, and so does Fred Weasley! Oh~~!! ”
…………
How do you earn points scattered throughout the arena under the watchful eye of the three dragons?
Malfoy's answer was [knock the dragon down and go around the field leisurely], and the result was naturally 120 points - this is still a scoring system that Leeds has long established, if it is like the Hogwarts House Cup score, the referee can add it if he wants to, and he can deduct it if he wants, then the score will probably go directly to the sky, making the other players desperate.
Then again, with the point difference not being widened too much, there are actually not many people who have the luxury of winning the championship anymore. Because the rest of the games are all scuffles, who would dare to go head-to-head with Malfoy...... Besides, just as wizards (not the Death Eaters camp) in Britain are proud to have met Harry Potter, dragon slayers like Malfoy still have a lot of respect in their hearts.
However, if you can't get the first place, it's acceptable to take a second to fifth place, and the prizes thrown out by Leeds including collateral, title deeds, gold gallons, and real estate are very thick. Looking back, the original championship prize of the Triwizard Tournament was a pitiful 1,000 gold Galleons, but now all the contestants who passed the first trial have a total of 1,100 gold Galleons in their hands!
"Hey, Fred and George, come here." Patsy, dressed as a Ministry of Magic worker, walked out into the crowd and patted the shoulders of his two younger brothers, who were still screaming there.
"What?! You greedy capitalist, the gold galleons in our hands have been handed over to my mother! What more could you want?! Do you want us to borrow usury? ”
"Bastard Patsy, you should hand over your wages too! It's not fair now! ”
Fred and George performed 'beating the air' at their third brother, and if it weren't for Patsy, the brothers would have tried to hide the news of their family's own competition and bag the 2,200 gold galleons safely.
"Shut up!" Patsy, who felt disgraced and dead, hurriedly dragged his brothers away, and roared angrily, "Professor Leeds asked me to call you over, and then I will call Malfoy!" Said that there was something to discuss. ”
"We?"
“…… And Malfoy? ”
Weasley and Malfoy, what is there to discuss?

"Congratulations, Master Malfoy! Can you say a few words to me? ”
Rita Skeeter was reluctant to interview Malfoy, but she was the only reporter sent to Hogwarts by the Daily Prophet, could she still use an owl to tell the editor-in-chief 'There's a new dragon slayer here~', and then let the editor-in-chief send someone to interview Malfoy?!
She could only show her most sincere smile, no longer using any shorthand pen, holding an ordinary quill pen in her hand to consider every word for interviews.
"Yes...... This time, though, be as humble as possible. Malfoy set aside the yellowed spellbook in his hand.
"Oh! What a humble and polite boy, this must also be the secret of your strength! Rita rarely took Malfoy's speech to heart and revised the writing style of future reports about him, but she still slapped her ass with all her might, and reached out not to hit the smiling person~
"Excuse me, how did you feel when you faced the dragon? It must be different from other players! Rita couldn't help but glance at the cane next to the couch, and she couldn't help but shudder at the thought that it had whipped the dragon to a roar.
"How do I know what other players are feeling?" Malfoy, who had experienced this mood N times when he was in Yanan, forcibly pretended to be forced, and said that he didn't know with a calm face like a monk, "I can only say that I don't care at all, such a weak opponent is also a miscellaneous soldier in Yanan." ”
"Is that so?!" If someone else said this, Rita would definitely think it was blowing, but this was issued by Malfoy, who had defeated three dragons in a few minutes, so he couldn't question it without a brain, "Yanan is such a terrifying place. ”
"If it's not terrifying, there's no need for the Ministry of Magic to lock it down for decades in one go, right?" Malfoy smiled wickedly, "If Miss Rita wants big news, you can go in Yanan and make a documentary, it's going to be a big hit...... Whether you get out of it or not, Miss Maria has a way to recover the memory crystal ball. ”
"......" Rita said that she really couldn't communicate normally with this guy, the first time they met, they wrapped a steel whip around their necks, and the second time they met, they proposed to go to Yanan to shoot a documentary, don't be so fierce!
“…… Hehe, I'll think about it. Rita, who had no intention of doing so in her heart, responded with a smile, rarely ignoring her private life at all, and going straight to the point, trying to end the interview as soon as possible, "So, Master Malfoy, what do you think about the next trial project?" Is it really full of confidence? ”
After the first round of trials, Leeds announced the content of the second round of trials as soon as possible. It will be held at half past nine in the morning on February 25 in the lakeside next to Hogwarts; It is also a mode of grabbing small flags to score, there are fishmen in the water to interfere, and the difference is that this time it is 60 players who jump into the lake together to grab points for a limited time; With a full score of 100 points, 60 points can be awarded 2,500 gold gallons, and players can attack each other to grab the flag in each other's hands, but they must not harm their lives, and the opponent is obliged to send them out of the water after losing consciousness.
"No, not at all," Malfoy shook his head, "I'm also fighting underwater for the first time, so I guess there's no magic that allows me to wield a cold weapon underwater, right?" ”
"Indeed......" Rita thought to herself, of course she didn't like to threaten her to win the match.
It's just that someone has already practiced Liz's speech, and it took a long time before he added, "Now I have thought of an attack magic that can complete the attack underwater, and use it to cut down those creatures who dare to offend me...... The offensive means seem to be a little bit close, so I'm looking up the relevant information. Malfoy gestured as he picked up the old magic book that had been set aside.
“…… Well, since Master Malfoy is still busy, I won't bother you, and I wish you all the best in the game. Rita stood up and quickly flashed after her polite words.
Mom!
After this report came out, did the other 29 groups of contestants dare to jump into the water!? She really didn't spread rumors this time!
