"..."

Although the scores of the three warriors have been announced and the first competition event has come to an end, the stiff silence is still maintained in the entire hall, as if those sitting in the seats are not students, but a machine Like a computer that has crashed, it is as if you can hear the scream of an overloaded mind in the air...

"Well, it seems that everyone still has some questions."

Looking at the students below who were so stiff that their brains were shutting down, Karkaroff couldn't help shaking his head and laughing, while Bagman, who had just "resurrected" from the side, directly set up the camera and clicked the shutter repeatedly. The puzzled, bewildered, and overwhelmed faces were all fixed one after another. There will probably be a few more sets of jokes in the next "Daily Prophet"...

"It's understandable. After all, this is also our fault - in order to ensure the authenticity of the case to the greatest extent, to prevent anyone from seeing that this is actually a game, and to ensure the enthusiasm of the warriors to participate, we did spend a lot of time on the layout. …Originally, this was supposed to be the behind-the-scenes content written in the report, but in order to completely reassure everyone, I will reveal a little bit here.”

"When the Triwizard Tournament project was planned, that is, before the end of the second half of last year's semester, we had unanimously decided to present a game that was different from the traditional one, more exciting and exciting, and at the same time, it would also challenge the warriors. A competition that conducts an all-round assessment of courage, wisdom and strength. In previous competitions, 'hidden events' have always been the key to making the competition outstanding, but this time, we decided to take this concept to the extreme... In the end we decided , the first level was designed with the theme of 'solving the case'."

"...In other words, Bagman took the initiative to trouble me during the Quidditch World Cup, and he has been part of the competition since then?!"

Krum pointed at Bagman who was still smiling with a slightly trembling finger - it would be fine if this was Bagman's plan alone, but he didn't expect that this was actually a plan jointly designed by the entire Contest production team? !

In other words, all their actions were predicted from the very beginning... no, from the very beginning? !

"There were many alternatives at that time, and conflict with you was just one of them. After all, we only knew at that time that you were one of the most likely candidates to become a warrior, but we couldn't be sure whether you would become a warrior."

Ludo Bagman smiled at Krum: "But whether you eventually become a warrior or not, this matter will be published in the newspaper, and I will also publicly apologize to you at that time... After all, this also makes you I have suffered a lot of trouble and criticism.”

"..."

Krum nodded silently, but his expression had softened a lot.

"As for the relationship between Miss Delacour's grandmother and the goblin, it was naturally an excuse to draw her into the competition. Of course, this was done with the consent of her grandmother. After that, we also We arranged for Mr. Ken to be the last to meet with Mr. Bagman, in this way the suspicions of the three warriors were evenly divided, and the confiscation of the wands was used as pressure to ensure their enthusiasm in the game."

Karkaroff's smile became more and more proud: "Then, in order to ensure that every detail of the case is true and reasonable, we also deliberately incorporated some of the real characteristics of the participants into this case. For example, Mr. Bagman did I have a hobby of betting, and I did lose to a goblin before... but the amount was very small, and it was basically entertainment. In addition, this matter has been known to all members of the referee team, so it will not affect the fairness of the game. Impact, please rest assured about this.”

"In addition, some long-circulated conspiracy theories have also been integrated into the design of the case, including the remarks that someone made about me being a Death Eater when I first entered Durmstrang... "

Karkaroff directly pulled up the sleeve of his left arm in front of everyone, turned sideways and showed his empty arm to everyone: "Look - as Mr. Ken said before, the Death Eater's Members will have a black skull symbol branded on their left arm, which is the so-called Dark Mark...but your principal does not have that kind of thing."

'……Fake. ’

Avada squinted and saw clearly the Dark Mark hidden under Karkaroff's skin, which was exactly the same as the one on his body - he just covered it up in advance and then showed it in public.

Did he and Crouch, the co-authors, actually take this opportunity to clarify themselves?

But other students were quite satisfied with this trick - when Karkaroff took the initiative to show his left arm, the stagnant atmosphere in the entire hall relaxed obviously, and many students finally showed signs of relief. Even Krum and Fleur's expressions have improved significantly...

"The difficulty of this game is to guess the 'method of death' of Mr. Bagman, and to deduce the 'shady agreement' between Mr. Crouch and I step by step through the various hints we left in the castle."

Realizing that his words had had an obvious effect, Karkaroff was also in a good mood: "To be honest, we always thought that this project was difficult enough. In our prediction, we would have to wait until at least next week for the case to be announced. It may be cracked... The efficiency of this Warriors greatly exceeded our expectations, which is why their scores are so high... Oh, by the way, speaking of the Warriors - their magic wands don't seem to be there yet. It’s back in their hands.”

Only then did Karkaroff realize that he had missed something, so he took out the three wands from his pocket and let them fly steadily in front of the corresponding warrior.

‘…Fortunately, I wasn’t tampered with. ’

Avada briefly glanced at the three wands, then took her own wand in her hand with confidence, wiped it briefly and put it away.

"so,"

After returning the wand, Karkaroff finally said: "Due to the amazing efficiency of the warriors, we may be able to move the second project forward a little. Anyway, the specific time of this competition event is inherently flexible. This is also one of the things that makes this competition different from the past... Then I announce that the second event of this Triwizard Tournament will start on December 5th, that is, one week later. Okay, It is an honor to witness the wonderful performance of the Warriors with everyone, but it is late enough now, and I think you must also need a rest, especially the Warriors - you can go back to your residence."

"Everyone can leave now, good night, everyone!"

After the last sentence was spoken, a slight human voice gradually emerged in the quiet auditorium, and then it got louder and louder, until it reached the point where it was full of people. The students all looked at their heroes with either wonder or admiration, planning to give the heroes the most grand return courtesy...

"..."

On the surface, Avada maintained the same excited smile as everyone else, but secretly she secretly cut off two pieces of her sleeves and turned them into two pieces of paper, then handed them to Fleur and the others in the most inconspicuous way. After Krum, he returned to his team with a bright face and mingled with other cheerful classmates. The expressions on Fleur and Krum's faces froze for a moment after they glanced at the information on the note...
