When it was Karkaroff's turn to rate Harley, Karkaroff gave the lowest score without hesitation——
Seventy points.
You know, Harley has obtained three golden eggs, and seventy points can only be regarded as her basic score.
Based on Harley's previous performance, giving full marks is not an exaggeration at all. It can even be said to be very reasonable and well-deserved.
The reason why most referees deduct one to five points is just to comply with the cases of international magic competitions. Not all referees can give full marks, and they want to make it appear that the players have room for improvement.
But... Karkarov's score of seventy points is too exaggerated, and he simply has "I want to score points" written on his face!
And it can be seen from Karkaroff's expression that he doesn't even want to give this seventy points.
If he wasn't forced to give at least seventy points due to the rules, he would only want to give two points at most to make up for the two points deducted by Professor Dumbledore.
In an instant, the students at Hogwarts were excited, all ignited by Karkaroff's behavior.
"The Lion Queen of Gryffindor performed so well, why is she only seventy points! You disgusting old bastard!"
Fred took the lead and cursed through the loudspeaker, waving the red flag in his hand vigorously, and the lion on it roared along with Fred.
However, he was still careful and put on a voice changer before swearing.
"That's right, how dare you give this score! Harley's performance totally deserves a perfect score!"
George also questioned Karkaroff loudly in the same way.
"Unqualified yellow-toothed old monster! Your mother-in-law wants to target you, right?"
Although the words of the two men were not very qualified, they fully expressed the thoughts of the students at Hogwarts.
Many little wizards followed the Weasley twins and cursed loudly, and some even started throwing big dung eggs at the referee's bench.
Professor Dumbledore had to wave his wand and build a screen of light on the referee's bench to prevent it from being completely flooded.
Professor McGonagall angrily rebuked:
"Fred, George! How can you insult other people's relatives!"
"One point from Gryffindor!"
Li instantly heard the subtext of Professor McGonagall's words, and whispered to the surroundings:
Don't attack Karkaroff's relatives, identify the target and attack Karkaroff directly!
The protest was so violent that even Slytherin had a lot of curses and protests.
After all, Gryffindor's honor is also Hogwarts' honor, and rounding it off is equivalent to Slytherin's honor.
How could Slytherin House give up its honor?
At the top of the auditorium, Professor Snape looked gloomy, not knowing what he was thinking.
In the commentary box, Ludo also looked a little unhappy.
After all, he still owed the goblins an extremely large amount of gold galleons due to gambling on the Quidditch World Cup.
In order to repay this debt that he would not be able to repay even if he worked for another hundred years, he could only choose to gamble with the goblins again.
Ludo originally wanted to bet on Harley to win, but the goblins weren't stupid either.
Harley performed so well that she looked like the number one seed to win the championship, and she wasn't the number one seed of England's national Quidditch team who could overturn even a Vietnamese bastard and make fans want their money back afterwards.
So Ludo could only sign an agreement with the goblins, betting that Harley could open up a huge point difference with the other warriors and win the championship with a crushing advantage.
So now, Ludo has put a lot of money on Harley, and it can be said that he is the one who hopes Harley to win the championship the most.
Ludo coughed twice and stared at Karkaroff with unkind eyes:
"I think the students need an explanation, Principal Karkaroff. Otherwise, the angry students are likely to storm the podium."
Karkaroff looked at the audience waving to him and was not surprised at all. After all, he had some idea of what he had done.
However, Karkaroff still wanted to save face, so he deliberately lengthened his voice and explained slowly:
"I admit that Potter's magic is very good. The weather spell covers a large area. He also dealt with two fire dragons at once and obtained the golden egg."
"But I noticed that the Potter player's magic interfered with other people's normal games."
"Miss Delacour's hypnotic magic was interrupted by her. It is obvious that this is unfair and unreasonable behavior, and she deserves to be deducted points."
In an instant, the auditorium that had been set on fire completely exploded, and curses once again echoed throughout the audience.
After all, the specific rules of this project clearly state that warriors are allowed to snatch golden eggs from each other. Do they still care about interfering with each other?
But Karkarov just bit this point shamelessly. After all, the organizers must consider maintaining the authority of the referee.
No matter how unreasonable the score given by a certain referee is, everyone has to hold their noses and admit the result without being able to modify it.
So in the end, Harley's total score was only fixed at 755 points.
However, this was still a disappointingly high score, directly opening up a point difference of more than 500 points with Krum.
"This old stick is really partial." Hermione couldn't help complaining for Harry.
"He's so blatant that no one else cares."
"How can we control it?" Furong shook her head, "According to convention, the referee's authority must be protected first."
"So even if Karkaroff is so unabashed in his efforts to score points, Harley will have no choice but to suffer a dumb loss."
Harley chuckled lightly and said nothing, just staring at Karkaroff.
Do you want to suffer the consequences of being dumb? Is this the kind of person the immortal witch is?
She narrowed her eyes slightly, and there was a flash of light in her eyes, and a mark symbolizing the witch's path took shape.
It seems that someone is taking the blame for something, and Principal Karkaroff is a perfect fit.
Somehow, Karkaroff, who was secretly planning how many points to give to other warriors next, suddenly felt his heart tremble and sneezed hard.
He had an ominous premonition inexplicably, as if a shadow suddenly enveloped him.
He instantly realized that it was probably his rating that offended others, which was why so many people cursed him, giving him an ominous premonition.
But Karkaroff didn't care and quickly put the matter behind him.
After all, his usual behavior is very hateful. Many people in Durmstrang, from professors to students, hate him.
It is no exaggeration to say that, let alone those who want to scold him, those who want to kill him can line up from Durmstrang's hall to outside the campus gate.
Who is this person who unleashed evil intentions against him now?
Next it was Fleur's turn to score, and the score structure Fleur finally received was very similar to Harley's.
As the warrior with the second highest number of golden eggs, even though Fleur took advantage of Harry's magic, the score given by the judges was still around 85 to 93 points.
Ms. Maxim gave the highest score of ninety-six, trying hard to raise a hand to her student.
And Karkaroff still chose to carry out the disgusting man to the end, only giving a guaranteed sixty points, and was not willing to give even one more point.
He also had a good name for it:
Fleur cheated. If it weren't for Harley's magic, she might not have been able to get her golden egg, let alone two golden eggs in total.
So if I don't report her, it's okay. This score is reasonable.
Good guy, earlier I said that Harley was interfering with others, and now I'm saying that Fleur uses other people's magic to reduce the difficulty of the game.
You’ve already told me the right and wrong, what else can we say?
In the end, Furong's total score was fixed at 691 points.
Needless to say, Karkaroff was busted again. After all, Furong's appearance alone has attracted a group of dog-licking fans to her.
For example, Ron, a little wizard like him who had never seen much of the world, drooled at the first sight of Fleur.
He even wanted to pluck out his eyes and stick them on Fleur's body (this is how the original work performed).
If they weren't unable to charge directly, these fans would have shown Karkaroff what cruelty meant on the spot.
The fans are angry, and the principals are even more angry.
Ms. Maxim was already looking at Karkaroff up and down with evil eyes, and she seemed to be thinking about how to tear him alive.
The other principals are also a little wary. This old bastard will not target the warriors in our school in the same way.
Well, I really can!
The scores of the next three warriors also appeared quickly. Tsuchimikado Seimei scored 319 points. Except for the zero score given by Principal Karkaroff, most of the principals gave high marks.
After all, his magic show was wonderful, very creative and courageous, and he even held two golden eggs in a short period of time.
What's more, Tsuchimikado Seimei was so seriously injured that he was about to die. Even if it was out of humanitarian concern, the other principals would still give him a passable high score.
The scores of Miguel and Catherine were very close, with Miguel scoring 567 points and Catherine scoring 531 points.
The scores given by the principals were relatively reasonable and average. Even the principal of his own school quietly added five to eight points at most.
Only Karkaroff always gives guarantees, and his main focus is one me against everyone!
After the game, Mr. Newt also stood up and gave a brief comment as a fire dragon expert.
He first briefly reviewed to all the students the methods chosen by the six warriors to deal with the fire dragon:
"The first is the first place, Miss Harry Potter from Hogwarts. She used a very powerful and wide-ranging weather spell, coupled with a powerful freezing spell, to directly turn the fire dragon into an exquisite ice sculpture."
"This method is undoubtedly the fastest and most ideal method, but it is only suitable for those magic masters. Even I may not be able to do it myself, so I don't recommend that everyone imitate it;"
Suddenly, there was good-natured laughter in the venue.
No one feels that they have the ability to accomplish Harley's previous great achievements, and when the gap is too big, no one wants to compare.
"And Miss Fleur Delacour from Beauxbatons came in second place." Newt continued,
"She took advantage of her own talent and used a hypnotic magic to make the fire dragon unable to concentrate and subconsciously ignore Miss Delacour, thus taking the opportunity to obtain the golden egg."
"I think...well, this is also a talent, we can't copy it. Then let's move on;"
"Third place, Miguel of Castrobushe uses plant magic unique to the Brazilian magic world and developed based on the unique climate of the tropical rainforest..."
Old man Newt is well-informed and asked the principals during the game to learn more about the various magics used by the warriors.
In addition, there is no rat droppings in this review session, so the students' interest is obviously much higher in this session.
After the scoring, everyone was ready to leave, but Ludo called all the warriors back.
Except for Tsuchimikado Seimei, who has been transferred to St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries and Injuries, all the Warriors and the three referees Crouch, Ludo and Kamo Michitoshi gathered in the tent.
Ludo looked at the other referees standing aside, and after confirming that Crouch was not willing to stand up and explain, he happily took on the job voluntarily:
"Congratulations to everyone for successfully passing the first event of the Six Strongest Competition. From my personal point of view, everyone did a great job..."
I don't know which warrior made an undisguised laugh, but Ludo pretended not to hear it.
"...I know that everyone is very tired now and urgently needs to go back to rest or participate in celebrations, but I still want to say a few words."
"The second event of the Six-wizard Tournament will start at 9:30 am on February 24 next year, and before that, you will have a long rest."
"As for the second competition event, will the organizer provide information this time?"
Miguel raised his hand and asked,
"Or do we have to rely on our own strength to...guess the task of the competition within a reasonable range like we did in the first competition event?"
The corners of Ludo's mouth twitched slightly. Doesn't he still know the virtues of the warriors in front of him?
If they hadn't cheated on their first project, Ludo would have dared to eat the parchment in his hand!
Of course, Ludo pretended that he knew nothing and just shook his head seriously:
"Of course we will provide certain information, and this information is already in your hands...wait a minute."
"Harry, Miss Delacour, could you please return the extra golden eggs to us?"
After getting the extra golden eggs from Harley and Fleur, Ludo handed one to Krum, and then handed the other one to Kamo Michitsu, asking him to temporarily keep it on Tsuchimikado Seimei's behalf. .
Then Lupine slapped the extra golden egg like a watermelon:
"If you look carefully at the golden egg in your hand, you will find a connecting gap on the golden egg. Because this golden egg can be opened... don't open it now!"
Ludo shouted loudly, and Catherine, who was really curious to open the golden egg, was startled.
"This contains clues about the second game, but in order to increase the difficulty, we will not take the initiative to tell you the answer."
"So you have to use your brains and solve puzzle-like clues to know what the second project is."
"Is everyone clear? If there is no problem, you can go back."
With that said, Ludo put away the extra golden eggs.
He glanced at Harley and seemed to want to say something, but he didn't say anything and left the tent directly.
After all, there are so many people from other schools here, and Ludo can't be too blatant.

Damn it, I have a terrible headache. The lily type is not allowed to be written, but is only allowed to be written and posted. If you try it, it will be hacked. Even if the author successfully let the keywords avoid the robot hacking once, he was manually beaten back later.
The author really doesn't know how to write about the key event of the Christmas Ball, and it's a problem how to write about it. Some of the things the author has prepared are also within the allowed range, but within the allowed range, they feel stiff at first glance.
Readers, do you have any good suggestions? I have a headache.
Recommend a book by the way.
