Chapter 534 Fermentation
This night is destined to be difficult to sleep.
This is especially true for the nearly 100,000 wizards stranded in the camp!
Although the chaos had completely subsided, how could he still sleep peacefully after experiencing the attacks of magical creatures, the swarming escape and the thrilling stampede?
Not to mention, many wizards have been injured and even lost loved ones, leaving sleepless nights in grief.
But no matter how difficult it is to sleep, one thing is for sure, everyone can't wait to get out of this dangerous place!
No one can guarantee that there will be no second attack. The sooner you leave, the safer you will be.
As for the World Cup finals that haven't started yet, the most money for other games is the most, and this game is terrible... just watch it!
Some clever wizards had already packed their tents overnight and rushed to line up at the Portkey Distribution Office... Even if it wasn't open yet, and there were no Ministry of Magic staff, it was over.
The next day, many wizards got up early and confidently went to get the Portkeys, only to find that there was already a long queue that stretched for several kilometers in the camp.
At this time, the door key distribution office has not opened yet!
Rove got up early and wandered around the camp. Seeing this scene, he was also a little speechless. It reminded him of the college course selection in his previous life.
The students' computers cannot log into the campus intranet, they have to use the computers in the computer room of the library, many students go there in the middle of the night, and sleep at the entrance of the library for the whole night... probably this is the grand occasion right now!
Fortunately, wizards in England can disapparate directly without waiting in line for the Portkey, which is a blessing in misfortune.
The spectators left the camp in a hurry, and wizards from all over the world who did not come to the UK to watch the finals were also anxiously waiting for the results of the competition.
Both Ireland and Bulgaria have not touched a trophy for a long time. No matter who wins, it will be regarded as the new king ascending the throne and making history.
But they waited for a long time, but they didn't wait for the result of the game. Instead, they ushered in jaw-dropping bad news:
The Disaster of the Quidditch World Cup
"Thirteen years later, the Dark Mark reappeared in the world?" ! "
"Shock! Death Eaters blitz England! "
"The man is back? ! "
All the wizarding newspapers around the world reported on the horrific accident at the Quidditch World Cup.
The papers also featured photos of the Dark Mark hanging over the stadium.
As time went on, more photos appeared in the newspaper:
Magical creatures go berserk and kill audiences, crowds die, trampled to death... coupled with the UK's unique BBC underworld tone, it is simply shocking.
Wizards all over the world were also in an uproar. They didn't expect such a major accident to happen in the World Cup, which has attracted much attention!
In fact, it is not that there have been no deaths in the Quidditch World Cup, but various frequent accidents are a common phenomenon.
The most typical is the 1809 Russian World Cup.
That year's final was played by Romania and New Spain.
Romanian batsman Nico Nenad, in order to win, bought the local dark wizard in advance and cast a curse on the forest on the edge of the Siberian plain.
During the game, with Romania trailing, Nenad purposely hit the Bludger off the pitch and into the enchanted forest.
All the trees came to life, marching toward the field, trampling down everything in their way, injuring and killing hundreds.
But that was more than two hundred years ago. In the past two centuries, the number of deaths in the World Cup has been decreasing, and most of them are players.
An accident of the level of the British Quidditch World Cup is indeed appalling!
The angriest country was Bulgaria.
They were only Quidditch national team players, and two of them died. Although Krum was not dead, he was seriously injured and had to recuperate in St. Mungo's Magical Hospital for a period of time.
Bulgaria's Minister of Magic, Obalonsk, held a press conference afterwards, angrily reprimanded Fudge, and claimed that the attack was a conspiracy by the Irish team to win!
The Irish team was also innocently shot. They obviously did nothing, and even injured many players, but they were labeled as the Irish Wushu Team and the Killing Team for no reason.
As a veteran reporter and industry benchmark, Rita also wrote a long article about the accident.
Of course it's a rant about the lack of security at the Ministry of Magic... the Aurors panicking... lax law and order... dark wizards on the loose... bringing disgrace to the country.
What Rita sprayed the most was Minister Fudge himself, especially his two sentences... "No comment" and "You reporters run faster than the Snitch!"
Rita also expressed serious doubts about the twenty-nine deaths announced by the Ministry of Magic.
After all, there are more than twenty-nine corpses in the photos published by the newspapers at a glance. Your death toll is more fake than water mixed with wine!
In fact, Fudge did not optimize the data, but just played with words. He announced not the total number of deaths, but the number of wizards who died of magical creatures.
Not many wizards were actually killed by magical creatures, and more people were trampled to death.
In a stadium of 100,000 people, moving in a narrow space, as long as someone falls, the followers will soon fall one by one, like a stack of arhats, layer upon layer, and the wizard at the bottom will be directly crushed to death.
But it is impossible to publish the real data. After all, there are too many deaths. Once it is released, Fudge, the Minister of Magic, will have to apologize to the people of the whole country, not to mention stepping down.
The only good news is that the murderer was caught. Although it wasn't caught by the Ministry of Magic, someone was responsible anyway!
Fudge immediately held a press conference and pushed out the severely burned McNeill and the three charred corpses.
Fudge threw all the pot to the Death Eaters, and asked the "Prophet Newspaper" to publish fewer photos of the dead.
Of course, the reason is to respect the privacy of the deceased and not to cause secondary harm to the family of the deceased.
He also asked newspapers to focus their reports on those good people and good deeds.
For example... Rove killed the Harpy and saved a girl; for another example, he saved Krum, which reflects the great friendship between the two countries.
What... the public has the right to know? No, they have only the right to be ignorant!
Fudge also repeatedly invited Rove, the man who caught the murderer, to attend the press conference.
With Rove's current fame, if he could attend the press conference and say a few good words appropriately, the pressure on Fudge would be much less.
But Rove directly refused, saying that he was not free.
The boy is really not free, because there are still a few days left, and the summer vacation is coming to an end.
