England's huge defeat to Transylvania was an unprecedented upset.
Therefore, this night is destined to be unstable.
This is also true. On the way back to the tent, just a few hundred meters away, Luo Fu and his party encountered more than a dozen fights.
Most of those who were beaten were fans wearing England uniforms.
In particular, fans of captain Atron were attacked collectively by fans of other teams.
There was nothing I could do. The champagne was opened too early and too vigorously before the game. Now that we have lost to a weak team like Transylvania, the backlash is of course coming very quickly.
Not to mention, many England fans, under the pretext that they are not British if they don’t support the England team, go around trampling on other teams... which has long aroused public outrage.
Now that England has lost the game and everyone has obtained nationality, Green Garlic's strength is of course unprecedentedly strong.
Many fans are still burning the uniforms of England players and cursing them for "crashing" when riding broomsticks.
There are even extreme wizards who have already gone to the locker room, preparing to intercept the members 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 wanted these players to die!
In addition to the fans who need to vent their dissatisfaction, there are also betting dogs who are betting on the England team to win. They are already busy wiping away their tears and going to the stadium to find the highest point.
However, there were too many wizards who wanted to jump off the building, and we had to queue up if we got there late.
An opening match caused chaos in the Quidditch World Cup camp, but this was just the beginning.
More British wizards did not buy tickets to watch the game.
What's so exciting about this kind of cruel competition? When you wake up, it will definitely be another big victory!
There are no longer a few people with this mentality. They got up the next day, sat at the dining table, picked up the latest "Daily Prophet" while eating breakfast, and saw headlines like this:
"Shocking upset! England lost to Transylvania!"
When many people first saw the word "lucky defeat", they thought the score was too tight, and they ended up losing accidentally.
After seeing the score of 10:390 clearly, I suddenly had a heart attack... Is this called a desperate defeat?
Why didn't you say that Transylvania narrowly beat England?!
Fudge also wanted to use words that were more offensive than beasts to describe these players, but the harder he scolded them, the more he would lose face in front of outsiders, wouldn't he?
It can only be cooled temporarily.
As a result, many articles whitewashing the England team and captain Atron began to appear in major newspapers.
"The first England team to test the new lineup, the team still has unlimited possibilities"
"England lost but Long did not lose. I am very sorry to lose"
"We have two giants, one high and one fast, but we still demand a 30-year-old veteran to save the world."
Of course the fans didn't buy it. In the vote in the sports section of the Daily Prophet, more than 3,000 people gave captain Atron the lowest score... two points.
However, two points is the limit of the newspaper, but not Atron's limit.
In order to calm the public anger, Atlon had no choice but to accept an interview and said that he would not lose a game and advance to the quarterfinals smoothly.
But wizards with flags like Fantasy Moment basically don’t 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... no one lost.
The England team also went from the opening match, the focus match, the life and death match, the honor match to the train match, and then the match again four years later... easily ended the journey of this World Cup.
Of course, it is not completely without benefits. Many British people heard the names of Transylvania, Mauritania and other places for the first time and will never forget them for the rest of their lives.
This can be regarded as learning geography knowledge from the England team.
Also returning home from the group stage with the England team was the defending champion Canada.
It failed to escape the championship curse. In the last overtime game, it lost to the Egyptian team and was blocked from the knockout round.
However, Scotland stumbled and advanced to the quarterfinals together with Ireland... At this point, the group stage was completely over.
For a fun-loving 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 doesn't forget to treat the mascots every day.
Their poisons have been detoxified, but this does not prevent Rove from contacting them in this name.
Again...the flowers at home are not as fragrant as wild flowers. Abducting other people's magical creatures is the most exciting thing.
Luo Fu went there many times and even became familiar with the more than one hundred Veela, and had several in-depth discussions on the issue of hybrid Veela.
At this time, standing next to a group of ghouls, Rolf was examining the body of one of the anorexic ghouls.
The ghoul is a mascot brought to Mauritania.
They are ugly-looking creatures with slimy bodies, buck teeth, and are always making noises that are annoying.
After checking the body of the ghoul who was unwilling to eat, Luofu frowned and said, "It's only been pregnant for two weeks."
Shirley, who was standing aside carrying a box, also frowned and said doubtfully:
"I heard from Mr. Digory that the ghouls brought from Mauritania are all female. How could they be pregnant?"
That's right... the two-week pregnancy period means that this ghoul was conceived on the Quidditch pitch, but with female ghouls all around, this is impossible.
Luo Fu fell silent, and looked at each other with Shirley. The two of them had a clear understanding of each other, and at the same time they looked at the invisible beast in the cage next door.
"Did the invisible beast do it?" the ponytailed girl said in shock.
"It should be right." Luo Fu was a little speechless. Even such an ugly ghoul could be swallowed. These invisible beasts are really not picky about their food.
"What kind of magical creature will be born from the combination of an invisible beast and a ghoul?" Shirley asked curiously.
"A hidden monster will be born." Luo Fu said, "It is a very tall animal with silver-white hair, 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 hybrid magical creatures have violent personalities and are extremely easy to hurt people.
Just as Rolf and Shirley were discussing how to deal with the ghouls, Fudge walked in quickly.
"Rolf, I knew you were here." Fudge smiled and handed a letter to the boy.
After taking it, Roff found that it was a light yellow letter with a wax seal on the postmark and a delicate silver W.
"The Medal of Merlin award ceremony will start tomorrow night." Fudge said with a smile: "This is your invitation letter."
"Didn't you say before that the quarterfinals will start after the quarterfinals are over?" Rove asked.
Fudge's face was a little stiff. He had indeed planned this originally, but considering the disastrous defeat of the England team...
If the Irish and Scottish teams are also eliminated after the quarter-finals, it would be really embarrassing to hold this award ceremony again.
Fudge had no choice but to call in advance.
After he mumbled his answer vaguely, Luofu asked again:
"By the way, is Mr. Crouch back?"
"Back." Fudge nodded: "Barty came back from Berlin with Dumbledore. How come... you are very familiar with him?"
"It's not bad. We went to Berlin before and we took a floating dragon boat together." Luo Fu smiled.
Fudge didn't pay too much attention and just sighed:
"I hope there will be no problems at this awards ceremony."
