Chapter 93 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 has completely subsided, how can you still sleep peacefully after experiencing the attack of magical creatures, the crowded escape and the thrilling stampede?

Not to mention, many wizards were injured and even lost relatives and friends. They were so sad that they couldn't sleep all night.

But no matter how sleepless it is, one thing is for sure, everyone wants to leave this dangerous place!

No one can guarantee that a second attack will not occur. The sooner you leave, the safer you will be.

As for the World Cup finals that have not yet started, other games cost the most money, but this game is life-threatening... It’s just a joke!

Some clever wizards had packed up their tents all night and rushed to the portkey distribution office to queue up... Even though it was not open yet and there were no Ministry of Magic staff, they could just wait and be done.

The next day, many wizards got up early and confidently went to get the door keys, only to find that a long queue stretching for several kilometers had appeared in the camp.

At this time, the door key issuance office is not open yet!

Luo Fe got up early and walked around the camp. Seeing this scene, he was a little speechless. It reminded him of the college course selection in his previous life.

Students' computers cannot access the campus intranet, so they have to use the computers in the library's computer room. Many students go there in the middle of the night and sleep in front of the library all night... This is probably the grand situation in front of us!

Fortunately, British wizards can apparate away directly without waiting in line for door keys, which is a blessing among misfortunes.

The audience was eager to leave the camp, 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 game.

Ireland and Bulgaria have not touched the trophy for a long time. No matter who wins, the new king will be crowned and make history.

But they waited for a long time, but did not wait for the result of the game. Instead, they received jaw-dropping bad news:

"The Disaster of the Quidditch World Cup"

"Thirteen years later, the Dark Mark reappears in the world?!"

"Shock! Death Eaters attack England!"

"That man is back?!"

All wizarding newspapers around the world invariably reported on the terrible accident of the Quidditch World Cup.

The newspaper also included a photo of the Dark Mark hanging over the stadium.

As time went on, more photos appeared in newspapers:

Magical creatures go berserk and kill the audience, crowding people to death, trampling to death... Coupled with the unique British underworld tone of the BBC, it is simply shocking.

Wizards all over the world were also in an uproar. They did not expect that such a major accident could occur in such a highly anticipated World Cup!

In fact, it is not that no one died in the Quidditch World Cup, but that various accidents occurred frequently, which is a common phenomenon.

The most typical example is the 1809 World Cup in Tsarist Russia.

That year's final was played between Romania and New Spain.

Nico Nenad, the batsman of the Romanian team, bribed the local black wizard in advance to cast a curse on the forest on the edge of the Siberian plain in order to win.

During the game, with the Romanian team trailing, Nenad deliberately hit the Bludger out of the court and into the enchanted forest.

All the trees came alive and marched towards the stadium, flattening everything in their way and causing hundreds of injuries and deaths.

But that was more than two hundred years ago. In the past two centuries, the number of deaths in the World Cup has become less and less, and most of them are players.

An accident of the magnitude of the British Quidditch World Cup is truly appalling!

The angriest country is Bulgaria.

Two of them, members of the national Quidditch team, died. Although Krum did not die, he was seriously injured and had to recuperate in St. Mungo's Hospital of Magic for some time.

Bulgaria's Minister of Magic Obalonsk held a press conference afterwards, angrily denounced Fudge, and claimed that the attack was a conspiracy by the Irish team to win!

The Irish team was also innocently accused. They clearly did nothing and even injured many members. However, they were labeled as the Irish Martial Arts Team and the Killing Team for no reason.

As a veteran journalist and industry benchmark, Rita also wrote a long article about the accident.

Naturally, he criticized the Ministry of Magic's inadequate security work...the Aurors were panicking...the security was lax...the dark wizards were at large...bringing shame to the country.

The person Rita criticized the most was Secretary Fudge himself, especially his two sentences... "No comment" and "You reporters can run faster than the Golden Snitch!"

Rita also expressed serious doubts about the twenty-nine death toll announced by the Ministry of Magic.

After all, just by looking at the photos published by newspapers, there are more than twenty-nine corpses at a glance. Your death toll is more fake than water mixed with wine!

In fact, Fudge did not optimize the data, he just played a word game. What he announced was not the total number of deaths, but the number of wizards who died from magical creatures.

Not many wizards were actually killed by magical creatures, more were trampled to death.

A stadium of 100,000 people is moving in a narrow space. As long as someone falls down, those who are following him will soon fall over one after another, 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 release the real data. After all, the death toll is too high. Once it is released, Fudge, the Minister of Magic, will have to apologize to the people of the country, not only to step down.

The only good news is that the murderer was caught. Although it was not caught by the Ministry of Magic, at least someone was responsible!

Fudge immediately held a press conference and pushed out the severely burned McNeil and the three charred corpses.

Fudge threw all the blame on the Death Eaters and asked the Prophet to publish less 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 good people and good deeds.

For example...Rolf killed the harpy and saved a girl; for another example, he saved Krum, which reflected the great friendship between the two countries.

What...people have the right to know? No, they only have the right to be ignorant!

Fudge also repeatedly invited Rove, the man who caught the murderer, to attend press conferences.

With Rove's current reputation, if he could attend the press conference and say a few nice words, Fudge would be under much less pressure.

But Luofu refused directly, saying that he was not available.

The boy really has no time, because there are still the last few days and the summer vacation is coming to an end.
