Hogwarts behind-the-scenes big boss

Chapter 158 The Weird Semifinals

Japan...

Moriarty closed his eyes, and a memory from two years ago flooded into his mind.

Japanese black wizard Tsukamura Kumono.

The black wizard organization Pang Crow.

Prophecy of eternal life.

The mission to snatch the Ice Moon Necklace.

At that time, the Japanese magic world was like a pool of turbid water. Although it was unpredictable, it was quiet and free of waves.

Today, two years later, the Japanese magical community has entered the world through Quidditch, and there is a high probability that it will become the British team's semi-final opponent, or even the final opponent.

Using Quidditch, Japan's magical world went global and started to stir up waves.

Moriarty was not surprised that the Japanese team defeated the American team in an upset. The Japanese team has a gloomy temperament, which was brought by the magician.

The magician gives Moriarty the feeling of a poisonous snake that has been hiding in the mountains, waiting for passers-by to deliver a fatal blow.

Not to mention, there is also Kogoro Tsukamura in the Japanese team.

Tsukamura?

Oh……

Moriarty laughed softly, his eyes suddenly opened, and a sharp light flashed.

Japan is an island country with a narrow territory and a strong sense of family. There must be a blood relationship between two people with the same surname.

The connection between Tsukamura Yukino and Tsukamura Kogoro is clear at a glance.

In this case, the nature of Kogoro Tsukamura can probably be determined.

Japanese black wizard!

Even a member of the Pang Crow Society.

So the question is, what are the Japanese black wizards doing in Canada?

Really just participating in the World Cup?

Tsukamura Kogoro and...Magician, will these two people sincerely play a Quidditch match?

As soon as this idea came up, Moriarty immediately passed it.

Nothing good will happen if these two people get together.

They must be planning something.

Moriarty naturally thought of himself. He had a problem with Tsukamura, the magician.

"It turns out that the target is me."

With a sneer, Moriarty opened his eyes, raised his legs, walked out of the room expressionlessly, and walked toward the main court.

Roman and others followed, and Moriarty walked into the hospital in Hyprose to visit Maxi.

"Sir, I'm telling you a joke."

Maxie was lying on the hospital bed, with a thick bandage on her head, and forced a wry smile at Moriarty.

Moriarty walked around Maxi's hospital bed several times to check Maxi's injuries, and finally his eyes fell on Maxi's head.

"Did Tsukamura Kogoro do it?"

"Yes, sir." Maxi's voice was full of seriousness, "I swear by my family, that shameless Japanese used magic on me! Otherwise, I would not have fallen off the broom, nor would I have broken my leg, nor would I have broken my leg.

No headache!”

When Maxi mentioned his experience, his voice became louder and he yelled angrily.

Maxi told that during a close fight with Tsukamura Kogoro, Tsukamura Kogoro smiled strangely at him.

Then he heard a voice:

"Come, come, my heir..."

"We are waiting for you here, ready to soar into the sky and bring brightness to the night sky."

"We knew your name and we were familiar with your face."

"The song of life we ​​play will never stop, and the years of passion we ignite will last year after year!"

"The past and present come together, let the past pass away, let the present be free, and liberate your soul."

"Come, come, my heir..."

“It was this sound that distracted me.” Maxi closed her eyes and recalled: “Kogoro Tsukamura caught the Golden Snitch, and I had a splitting headache, fell off the broom, and broke my leg——

The leg is cured, but the headache has not been relieved much."

"This voice—did you ever mention it to a second person besides me?" Moriarty's question was profound.

Maxi opened her eyes, covered her head and sat up with a serious expression: "No, no! Sir, I am already an adult wizard, and I found that there is an evil atmosphere in this matter.

No one noticed that Tsukamura Kogoro used magic on me, so I didn’t mention the sound.”

"You are right," Moriarty nodded and said to Maxi: "Mentioning that voice will not only make others believe you, but will also make others think you are messing around."

Moriarty told Maxi about Whitehorn's brainwashing voice that the magician used on him. After comparing the two voices, they found that the two voices came from the same person, a man with a rough voice.

"It's necessary to check Japan." Moriarty said calmly.

"I will send reliable people to Asia to see what these people are doing." Maxi hummed: "As long as they find the insider, the Blanche family has many ways to pry open his mouth and dig out their secrets."

"Speaking of the Blanche family, you send people to Japan, don't hide your identity and whereabouts. Under the banner of the Blanche family, go and investigate openly." Moriarty reminded Maxi.

"Why?" Maxi was puzzled: "There is a problem in Japan's magical world. Secret investigation is the safest way to investigate. Using the name of the Blanche family will make people more wary."

"Wrong, you won't be wary if you use the name of the Blanche family," Moriarty said with a smile: "You were injured in the match against the Japanese team. Mr. James, as the head of the Blanche family, sent someone to

Investigating your opponent Tsukamura Kogoro in Japan is a logical thing no matter how you look at it! This is reverse thinking.

If I were a wizard from Japan, not only would I not be wary, but I would release as much information about Tsukamura Kogoro as possible and send the Blanche family wizard away as soon as possible."

"So that's it." Maxi also smiled, "Then the wizard I send must be very shrewd, must act according to circumstances, cannot be deceived by appearances, and must find real and useful information among lies."

Moriarty nodded slightly. Maxi sent people to Japan, which would save him a lot of effort.

Next, Moriarty and Maxi chatted about the World Cup. Maxi repeatedly emphasized that he should be careful about the Japanese team. He joked: "But you can't say for sure. Maybe in the semi-finals, the Japanese team will be defeated by the Canadian team under the shady scheme.

"

"Most likely, the Japanese team will win." Moriarty spoke concisely and said as he walked towards the door: "But don't worry, we will avenge you. Japan will never win the championship. The championship belongs to the British team."

"On behalf of Team USA, I am optimistic about you." Maxi showed a big smile.

Moriarty waved to him, walked out of the ward, and then led the team members into the training field to engage in training against Poland.

Time came to June during non-stop training, and Moriarty arranged for Old Foley and Old Flint to reset the betting odds.

In addition to previous bets, upset bets have been added.

"The Polish team defeated the British team in an upset! The odds are 10 to 1!"

"The British team beat the Polish team, the odds are 1 to 1."

"The British team has a clean sheet against the Polish team, and the odds are 1 to 1."

"The Polish team has a clean sheet against the British team! The odds are 10 to 1!"

"The Japanese team defeated the Canadian team in an upset, the odds are 1 to 5!"

"The Canadian team beat the Japanese team, the odds are 10 to 1."

"The Japanese team has a clean sheet against the Canadian team, and the odds are 1 to 1!"

"..."

Moriarty dug a lot into these bets, but on the surface, some of the odds were extremely high and some were very low, just like any other normal bet.

The bets released by the Canadian Ministry of Magic and the official World Cup betting market are completely opposite.

They posted bets on "British team defeating Poland" and "Canada defeating Japan", and the odds were low.

Once the two bets appeared, underground exchanges were shaken.

The Japanese team's upset victory over the United States made a large number of gamblers think that the World Cup was full of shady events.

What if Poland upset England?

In addition, the odds of the Polish team being upset were so high that the gamblers became excited, and with the mentality of giving it a try, they bet a lot of gold galleons.

But when it came to betting on the Japanese team, the gamblers' mentality changed again.

They generally believe that no matter how strong the Japanese team is, it is impossible to defeat Canada.

The Canadian team is the host team!

Gamblers can't think of a reason why the Japanese team should beat the Canadian team.

Before the game, many retired golfers predicted that the champion would be between Canada and the United States.

In other words, only the United States can defeat Canada. This is recognized by most people.

So the gamblers bet a lot of gold galleons on the Canadian team.

But what was unexpected was the first game of the semi-finals - Poland vs. England.

On the day of the competition, the Polish team announced that they would abstain! The British team directly advanced to the finals!

Although according to the odds, the British team needs to compensate double the Galleons for defeating the Polish team, there are not many gamblers betting on it. A large number of gamblers are betting on "the Polish team upset the British team" or "the Polish team has a clean sheet".

Team GB".

The gambler who wanted to take a chance not only failed to gain a chance, but also lost Merlin's underpants and went bankrupt!

The official betting did not take advantage either. In view of Moriarty's reasons, the officials never adjusted the British team's schedule except for arranging the British team and the French team together in the first game.

Therefore, there is no problem for the Polish team to become the British team's semi-final opponent.

Officials believed that the match between the British team and the Polish team must be a close fight, but the Polish team was missed.

No one expected that the Polish team would abstain.

The British team won without a fight, and Moriarty became the only beneficiary. He made a lot of money.

In July, the second semi-finals began. The Canadian team, the favorite before the game, was given a clean sheet by the Japanese team!

Moriarty and Maxi took players from the two countries to watch the game. They saw a one-sided crushing - Magic and Kogoro Tsukamura scored 150 points each, and within an hour, they scored 300:

Defeated the Canadian team with a big score of 0.
