Chapter 516 Merlin Medal Awarding Ceremony
England's big loss to Transylvania was definitely an unprecedented upset.
Therefore, this night is destined to be unstable.
The fact is the same. On the way back to the tent, Rove and his party encountered more than a dozen fights within a few hundred meters.
Most of those beaten were fans wearing England uniforms.
Especially Captain Artron's fans, they encountered group beatings by fans of other teams.
There is no way, the champagne was opened too early and too fast before the game, and now they lost to the poor team of Transylvania, of course the backlash came very fast.
Not to mention, many fans of the England team, under the banner that they are not British if they do not support the England team, trampled on other teams everywhere... It has already aroused public outrage.
Now that England has lost the game and everyone has obtained their nationality, the strength of Qingsuan is of course unprecedentedly strong.
Many fans are still burning the jerseys of England players, cursing them to "crash" when riding broomsticks.
There are even more extreme wizards who have already gone to the locker room, preparing to intercept the players of the England national team.
Fudge had to send Aurors to protect these players and prevent them from being assassinated by extreme fans... Although he also wished for these players to die!
In addition to fans needing to vent their dissatisfaction, there are also betting dogs who overwhelmed the England team, who are already busy wiping their tears and going to the stadium to find the highest point.
However, there are too many wizards who want to jump off the building, and they have to queue up if they arrive late.
An opening match, which caused chaos in the Quidditch World Cup camp, but this was only the beginning.
More British wizards did not buy tickets to watch the game.
What's so interesting about this kind of food abuse competition, it must be another big victory when you wake up!
There are not a few people who hold this mentality. They wake up the next day, sit at the dining table, eat breakfast, and pick up the latest "Daily Prophet" when they see this headline:
"Shocking Unpopular! England lost to Transylvania! "
Many people saw the word "loser" at first sight and thought that the score was very tight, and they lost accidentally in the end.
After seeing the score of 10:390 clearly, he had a heart attack in an instant... Is this called a mud horse losing?
Why don't you say that Transylvania narrowly beat England? !
Fudge also wanted to use more aggressive words than animals to describe these players, but the harder he scolded, the more he would lose face in front of outsiders?
Can only be temporarily refrigerated.
As a result, many articles whitewashing the England team and captain Artron began to appear in major newspapers.
"England's first small test of the new team, the team still has unlimited possibilities"
"England lost, I didn't lose, Kuanglan is very sorry to lose"
"Sitting on two super giants, one tall and one fast, but still demanding a 30-year-old veteran to save the world"
Of course, the fans didn't buy it. In the "Daily Prophet" sports section, more than 3,000 people voted for Captain Artron's lowest score... two points.
However, two points is the limit of the newspaper, not Atron's limit.
In order to appease the public anger, Atron had no choice but to accept an interview, and said that he would not lose in the next game and advance to the quarterfinals smoothly.
But the wizards who set up this kind of fantasy moment flag basically did not end well.
Sure enough, in the next three games, the England national team lost first to Peru, then to Mauritania, then to Morocco, and then... nobody lost.
The England team also went from the opening game, the focus game, the life-and-death game, the honor game to the train game, and the battle after four years... easily ended the journey of the World Cup.
Of course, it’s not all bad. Many British people heard of Transylvania, Mauritania and other place names for the first time, and they will never forget them for the rest of their lives.
This can be regarded as learning geography with the England team.
Going home with the England team in the group stage, there is also the previous defending champion Canada.
It did not escape the fate of the championship curse. In the last overtime game, it lost to the Egyptian team and was blocked from the knockout round.
Instead, Scotland stumbled, and joined hands with Ireland to advance to the quarterfinals... So far, the group stage is completely over.
For a fun guy like Rove who doesn't have a home team, the recent games have been fun to watch.
Of course, while watching the game, he still does not forget to treat those mascots every day.
Their poisons have been detoxified, but this does not prevent Rove from contacting them in this name.
Still the same sentence... How can domestic flowers have the fragrance of wild flowers? Abducting magical creatures from other people's homes is the most exciting.
Rove went there many times, and even got acquainted with the more than one hundred Veela, and discussed in depth several times about mixed-race Veela.
At this time, standing beside a group of ghouls, Rove was examining the body of one of the anorexic ghouls.
The ghoul is the mascot brought from Mauritania.
They are ugly looking creatures with sticky bodies, buck teeth, and annoying noises.
After examining the body of the ghoul who was unwilling to eat, Rove frowned and said, "It's pregnant...it's only been two weeks."
Shirley, who was standing by the side carrying the suitcase, also frowned and said doubtfully:
"I heard from Mr. Diggory that the ghouls brought from Mauritania are all female. How could they be pregnant?"
That's right... Two weeks of pregnancy means that this ghoul was pregnant on the Quidditch pitch, but there are female ghouls all around, so there is no such possibility.
Rove fell silent, and exchanged glances with Shirley. The two had a tacit understanding, and looked at the invisible beast in the next cage at the same time.
"Did the invisible beast do it?" the ponytailed girl asked in shock.
"It should be right." Rove was a little speechless, even such an ugly ghoul could talk, this group of invisible beasts is really not picky.
"What kind of magical creature will be born when the invisible beast and the ghoul combine?" Shirley asked curiously.
"A occult monster will be born," Rove said. "It's a tall, silver-haired animal, similar to a bear."
Magical creatures are not reproductively isolated like ordinary animals... so most magical creatures can interbreed.
Of course, this is also prohibited by the Ministry of Magic, because most of the magical creatures produced by hybridization are irritable and extremely easy to hurt people.
While Rove and Shirley were discussing how to deal with the ghouls, Fudge walked in quickly.
"Rove, I knew you were here." Fudge smiled and handed a letter to the boy.
After Rove took it, he found that it was a light yellow letter with a wax seal and a delicate silver W engraved on the postmark.
"The Medal of Merlin Awarding Ceremony will start tomorrow night." Fudge said with a smile: "This is your invitation letter."
"Didn't you say that after the quarter-finals, we will start again?" Rove asked.
Fudge's face was a little stiff. He really planned this way, but considering the England team's disastrous defeat...
If the Irish and Scottish teams are also eliminated after the quarter-finals, it would be too shameful to hold this awards ceremony.
Fudge had to convene in advance.
After he was vague and perfunctory, Rove asked again:
"By the way, is Mr. Crouch back?"
"I'm back." Fudge nodded, "Barty and Dumbledore came back from Berlin together, why...you know him very well?"
"It's okay, we went to Berlin before, and we took the same floating dragon boat." Rove smiled.
Fudge didn't pay much attention, just sighed softly:
"Hopefully there will be no problems with this awards ceremony."
Rove smiled mysteriously and said:
"Surely nothing will happen."
