Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 823: Someone cheated

  Chapter 824 Someone cheated

  No one knows what happened last night.

   At least, apparently nobody knows.

  Because of being woken up by Bud in the middle of the night, Albert's spirits were not very good this morning. He stretched out his hand to cover his yawn and slowly flipped through the Bullfighting Daily.

   Last night's vial of Flux has been shown to be harmless after Ihus's own testing. The other party also successfully got the final payment of 1,000 gold coins from the Bullfighting Daily. With the initial 200 gold coins, Albert got 600 gold coins, plus a bottle of Fuling for about two days, and it was completed by the way. panel tasks.

  "You look sleepy?" Diana, the bar owner, came over to inform Albert of the time of the party, "By the way, what about Mr. Bud?"

   "He should still be sleeping. We chatted very late last night before resting." Albert put down the newspaper and said.

   "By the way, there is one more thing." Before Diana turned to walk away, she turned back: "After the Barnabus Finkley excellent spell casting competition, there will be a small banquet specially for you. If you prepare it with the referee, please do not stay and attend the banquet before leaving.”

  Albert looked at the back of Diana's departure, raised his eyebrows slightly, he thought of something Bud had mentioned to him.

   At this moment, Albert felt as if someone was watching him, he picked up the newspaper again as a cover, and quietly looked in a certain direction.

   There is a special correspondent from the Bullfighting Daily.

  Albert suddenly knew why the guy was secretly looking at himself, this was to observe whether he had symptoms caused by an overdose of Fuling.

  "Would you like to tease him?"

  Albert's heart suddenly filled with inexplicable bad taste, but such thoughts were quickly suppressed by him.

  It's best to distance yourself from this matter.

   After all, it's all Issius' fault.

   It was he who deceived the group of people who opened a gambling game in Bullfighting Daily and ran away with their money.

What does    have to do with him, Albert?

   The tracking spell left by the other party on Ihus was forcibly blocked by Albert using magic. It must be very interesting for the furious behind-the-scenes mastermind to find out that he was being played as a monkey.

  "It feels so good."

  Albert's mouth curled into a shallow smile, and he finally knew why there were so many old men.

   What a delight!

   Albert and special correspondent Lucian looked at each other, smiled and nodded to each other, then looked away from the other's stunned gaze, and re-read the latest issue of Bullfighting Daily.

   Then again, he found the front page headlines of Bullfighting Daily to be embarrassing to read.

   is just advocating for him anyway.

   However, at the end of the article, Albert found that there was a hole in it.

  If Albert is found to have used a lot of elixirs, Bacheng will immediately become the object of countless people's scorn, and many people will bring down the stone on him.

   is so cruel!

  If you are smeared by others, your reputation will be ruined!

   Sure enough, the wool of those guys is right, why didn't the house-elves have more Galleons in the first place!

   is such a shame.

   After the time was almost up, Albert got up and followed the other players upstairs to the party.

   Yesterday's living room was surrounded by comfortable sofas, and drinks and desserts were placed on a small round table in front of them.

   Several judges have taken their seats, and the contestants are sitting in the middle of the judges for one-on-one communication.

  Albert is very calm, and he has a lot of experience with old friends. The man suspected of being an Auror was very adaptable, and the other lady quickly entered the state. On the contrary, the decadent Mr. Noe stuttered when he spoke, and was the most embarrassed among the four.

  Albert chatted casually with the lady beside him. The two sides were in Italian. After a brief communication, Albert learned that the lady in front of him was called Monica, and it was said that he had been working as a referee for 63 years. .

   The two casually chatted about Italian food, and the relationship between the two sides became much closer.

  Monica looked at Albert, who was chatting, and was surprised that Albert was a Muggle wizard. Although she had read the information, Albert did not look like a Muggle wizard, and what surprised Monica the most was Albert's friendship circle. The other party had casually mentioned several Italian experts in various fields. Listen to him. The tone of voice, the relationship seems to be good.

   Later, the topic of the chat between the two was gradually led to the spell casting technique, and Albert directly used the knowledge of the panel skills to fool... Well, it was not fooling.

   In short, Ms. Monica kept her mouth open a lot of the time, and seemed to be shocked by Albert's unique insights on spell casting. Even the Bulgarian wizard Mr. Yav next to Albert couldn't help but turn his head and chat with him.

   Looking at No. 17 who became the most dazzling in the whole party, the corner of the special correspondent Lucian's mouth showed an imperceptible smile.

  No. 17 really took Fuling, otherwise it would be impossible to talk with several referees.

   The next step is to get the opponent out.

   This is the main reason why Lucian is here.

   As long as No. 17 is found to be taking phlegm and disqualified from the competition, he can get a big prize.

   Lucian can't wait.

   However, what made him wonder is why No. 17 has yet to reveal his flaws?

   If you use a large dose of Fuling, you should become arrogant and let the judges notice that something is wrong, but why is there no sign?

  "What a strange thing."

  In the eyes of special correspondent Lucian, Albert's body clearly revealed many characteristics of Fuling.

   But...why?

   The party lasted for two hours. Lucian left the living room behind the contestants with bewildered eyes. He couldn't understand why the situation was different from what he said.

   Finally, Lucian quickly returned to the Bullfighting Daily to report the strange incident and asked whether to start the preparatory plan.

   The so-called preparatory plan is actually disguised as someone else to report Albert for taking Fuling.

  Yes, report it.

   Then, investigate.

   As for who reported it, it really doesn't matter.

   Anyway, this kind of large-scale competition has a process of checking the Fuling agent, which is more time-consuming and labor-intensive.

  After receiving the report, the Spanish Ministry of Magic took action immediately, showing a just image of me resolutely maintaining a fair and just game.

   This incident caused an uproar.

   plus Bullfighting Daily deliberately digging holes in the headlines.

   Many people began to wonder if the 17th secretly used the Fuling. After all, he was too young, and the young wizard who was jealous of him was also happy to see him unlucky, and began to fan the flames to demand a fair deal. A fair for the contestants.

  "I found that some people really do anything for money." Albert sighed softly, "They did."

   "As you expected, didn't you?" Bud thought this matter became more and more interesting, and the "Bull Fighting Daily" met Albert and it was a kick in the iron.

   "No, I didn't expect other people's changes." Albert didn't pay attention to the suspicious eyes around him, and said in a very soft voice, "Do you think the British magic world will be like this? ..."

   "So stupid?" Bud was not at all surprised.

   "They just don't want to admit that I'm a genius. They prefer to believe that I secretly used Flux to cheat." Albert was not surprised at all.

   "This is actually the case in the British magic world. People only want to see what they want to see. This is nature." Bud sighed, he knew what Albert was referring to. "If Voldemort returns one day, the entire British wizarding community will probably try to deny that he is alive."

   "It's more of the Spanish Ministry of Magic. They want the common people to be well governed, and the stupid are definitely better governed than the smart." Albert said softly, "I think it's more interesting, though."

   To be honest, Albert does not consider himself a magnanimous person.

   Therefore, he is now particularly looking forward to the wonderful expressions on the faces of those who once suspected him of cheating by means of Fuling, after learning the cruel truth.

  After lunch, the four contestants were all gathered in the living room, in the presence of several judges, bar owner Diana, a special correspondent for the Bullfighting Daily, and three officials from the Spanish Ministry of Magic.

   "Sorry to call you all here, but I think you might have heard some bad rumours too." Diana frowned, unhappy that this had happened.

   "For the fairness of the competition, the organizer feels it is necessary to take action."

   "How are you going to test?" the suspected Auror wizard frowned and asked, "Use Legilimency, or Veritaserum?"

   "We prefer Legilimency," Diana said. "Mr. Digal is a Legilimency master, and he can... say Ms. Camerin."

   "How can you make sure he doesn't mess with the memories in my head," said the only woman in the team.

  "Do you have any questions, Mr. Noe?"

  "How do you guarantee he doesn't lie?" Noe had already smelled the conspiracy, "Don't tell me he's an official at the Ministry of Magic, as long as he's a person, he might lie for some reason."

  The faces of the officials from the Spanish Ministry of Magic were ugly, especially the players who had a strong distrust of them.

   "Please say Mr. Anderson." Diana said with a nod to Albert.

   "As far as I know, big tournaments have their own way of checking for cheating." Of course Albert knew what to do.

   A trace amount of Veritaserum will not cause harm to people.

   However, many large-scale events actually do not like to use Veritaserum, because this thing itself is a prohibited item, it is very troublesome to use, and there are ways to avoid it. Even the antidote for Veritaserum was used in advance.

   The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became a little stiff, and even Diana didn't know what to do. She had never encountered such a situation.

   "Don't worry." One of the five judges stood up and said, "Actually, the jury already has a way to identify whether or not to use Flux."

   Everyone looked at the judges.

   "Honestly, we don't advocate its use." With that said, a referee opened a box containing a transparent medicine.

   "It is well known that taking too much Fuling agent itself has some bad symptoms, and you can't drink it continuously, otherwise there will be serious consequences." Ms. Monica introduced to everyone, "If you take it in a short period of time, there will be serious consequences. It may cause symptoms such as dizziness, poisoning, etc. if you have taken Fuling, and then use it. Of course, if you do not use Fuling, it is harmless by itself."

   "How short is a short period of time." Albert asked, "If it was a year, he felt he could just give up."

   "Within a month," Monica said.

  "What if I'm poisoned?"

  "We have emergency medicine here."

   The four looked at each other and finally looked at the Ministry of Magic officials.

  "We need to prove the efficacy of this drug." said the official headed by the three. "You know, this is a gamble, and we have to be careful."

  "We have the elixirs here." An elderly referee took out a golden vial and handed it to him, "Just one drop is enough, otherwise it may cause trouble if the poisoning is serious."

   The faces of the three officials of the Ministry of Magic were not very good-looking. In the end, one of them drank a little bit of Fuling, and then drank the potion for testing. As a result, the whole person panicked and almost fainted. Not only that, His face turned pale all of a sudden, as if he was sick.

  "Drink this, it will make you feel better, although it will be fine in a while with the dose you just received."

   said, they took out another bottle, lowered it into the water, let the Ministry of Magic official drink it, and his face looked better.

  "Well, admit it to yourselves, or drink some of this stuff?"

   "I'll come first." The wizard who was suspected of being an Auror stood up, took the cup handed over by the referee and drank it.

   has no effect.

   Which Ms. Camerin is the second.

   also has no effect.

  "I'll go first."

  Noe vaguely sees that these current incidents may be aimed at targeting 17th.

   However, he didn't feel that the other party needed to use the Phantasm.

   also has no effect.

  Everyone stared at Albert, who directly drank the cup and drank it in front of everyone.

   Well, still nothing works.

  "How come!"

   Both the Ministry of Magic and the special correspondent were astonished, as if they had already determined that someone had taken Flux to participate in the competition.

   "Looks like it was just a joke~IndoMTL.com~ Maybe the Ministry of Magic should interrogate the guy who made the report on purpose."

   If you can't see what's going on right now, you're a fool.

   is clearly aimed at the 17th, and 80% of it is related to gambling.

   "Okay, as you can see, no one used Flux to cheat," said three Spanish Ministry of Magic officials on a male referee team. "I think it's just a joke."

  Just a joke?

  The three Ministry of Magic officials left with ugly expressions, wondering how this could have turned out like this.

   "Bull Fighting Daily" special correspondent Lucian's face was even more ugly, his body swayed slightly, and he stretched out his hand to support the chair so that he didn't almost fall to the ground.

   Doesn't it mean that No. 17 used a phlegm?

   Those referees are deceiving them?

   Or...that **** of Isius deceived them.

   Lucian just can't imagine how much money the Bullfighting Daily would have to lose once the 17th won the championship.
