Chapter 93 Fermentation
This night is destined to be a sleepless night.
This is especially true for the nearly 100,000 wizards stranded in the camp!
Although the chaos has been completely quelled, how can they sleep peacefully after experiencing the attacks of magical creatures, the crowded escape and the thrilling trampling?
Not to mention, many wizards were injured and even lost their relatives and friends. They were grief-stricken and couldn't sleep all night.
But no matter how hard it is to sleep, one thing is certain, everyone wants to leave this dangerous place as soon as possible!
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 final that has not yet been opened, other games can only cost money, but this game is life-threatening... What's the point of watching it!
Some clever wizards have packed up their tents overnight and rushed to the place where the door keys are issued to line up... Even if it is not open yet and there are no Ministry of Magic staff, they just need to wait.
The next day, many wizards got up early and went to get the door keys confidently, but found that a long line of several kilometers had appeared in the camp.
At this time, the door of the door key distribution office has not been opened yet!
Rolf got up early and strolled around the camp. Seeing this scene, he was a little speechless. This reminded him of the university course selection in his previous life.
Students' computers could not log into the campus intranet, so they had to use the computers in the library computer room. Many students went there in the middle of the night and slept at the door of the library... This is probably the grand scene in front of us!
Fortunately, British wizards can directly Apparate and leave without queuing for door keys. This is a blessing in disguise.
The audience was in a hurry to leave the camp, and wizards around 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, it will be considered the new king ascending the throne and making history.
But they waited for a long time, but did not 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 reappears in the world? ! 》
"Shock! Death Eaters blitz England! 》
《That man is back? ! 》
All wizard newspapers around the world reported the terrible accident of the Quidditch World Cup.
The newspapers also included photos of the Dark Mark hanging over the stadium.
As time went by, more photos appeared in the newspapers:
Magical creatures went crazy and killed spectators, people were crushed to death, people were trampled to death... coupled with the unique BBC underworld tone in the UK, it was simply shocking.
Wizards around the world were also in an uproar. They did not expect that such a serious accident could happen in a highly anticipated World Cup!
In fact, it is not that there have been deaths in the Quidditch World Cup. On the contrary, various frequent accidents are a common phenomenon.
The most typical one is the 1809 Tsarist World Cup.
The final that year was played by the Romanian team and the New Spain team.
In order to win, the Romanian team's batsman Nico Nenad bribed the local dark wizard in advance and cast an evil spell on the forest on the edge of the Siberian Plain.
During the game, as the Romanian team fell behind, Nenad deliberately hit the Bludger out of the court and hit the enchanted forest.
All the trees came alive and moved towards the stadium, flattening everything that stood in their way, 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 been decreasing, and most of the deaths are players.
An accident of the level of the British Quidditch World Cup is indeed appalling!
The most angry country is Bulgaria.
Two of their national Quidditch players died. Although Krum did not die, he was seriously injured and had to recuperate in St. Mungo's Hospital for Magic for a while.
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 shot. They did nothing and even injured many players, but they were labeled the Irish martial arts team and the murder team for no reason.
As a veteran reporter and industry benchmark, Rita also wrote a long article about the accident.
Naturally, they criticized the Ministry of Magic for its inadequate security... Aurors panicked... lax law and order... dark wizards at large... bringing shame to the country.
Rita criticized Minister Fudge the most, especially his two sentences... "No comment" and "You reporters run faster than the Golden Snitch!"
Rita also expressed serious doubts about the 29 deaths announced by the Ministry of Magic.
After all, just looking at the photos published in the newspaper, there are more than 29 bodies. Your death toll is faker than water mixed with wine!
Fudge did not optimize the data, but just played a word game. He did not announce the total number of deaths, but the number of wizards who died from magical creatures.
There are not many wizards who were actually killed by magical creatures. More people were trampled to death.
In a stadium with 100,000 people, activities in a narrow space, as long as someone falls, the followers will soon fall one by one, as if stacking up, layer by layer, and the wizard at the bottom will be directly crushed to death.
But the real data cannot be released, 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 to mention stepping down.
The only good news is that the murderer has been caught. Although it was not caught by the Ministry of Magic, at least someone is responsible!
Fudge held a press conference at the first opportunity, and pushed out the severely burned McNeill and three charred bodies.
Fudge threw all the pots on the Death Eaters, and asked the Prophet to publish fewer photos of the dead.
Of course, the reason was to respect the privacy of the deceased and not to cause secondary harm to the family of the deceased.
He also asked the newspaper to focus its reports on good people and good deeds.
For example... Rolf killed the harpy and saved a little girl; for another example, he saved Krum, which reflected the great friendship between the two countries.
What... the people have the right to know? No, they only have the right to be ignorant!
Fudge also invited Rolf, the man who caught the murderer, to attend the press conference many times.
With Rolf's current fame, if he could attend the press conference and say a few good words appropriately, Fudge would be much less stressed.
But Rolf refused directly, saying that he was not free.
The boy was indeed not free, because there were only a few days left and the summer vacation was about to end.
