Chapter 294 The Ministry of Magic Are All Good Seedlings of Civil Engineering
"Four." Harry on the side said to the vendor without hesitation.

The peddler was stunned: he thought he would be haggled over the price, and he was prepared to buy three and get one free, but Harry handed over forty Galleons directly.

Ron blushed, "I don't need to..." Ron knew that Harry had inherited a considerable fortune, much richer than the Weasleys, but he was always particularly sensitive about money.

"Don't expect to receive presents at Christmas!" Harry stuffed the panoramic binoculars into the hands of his friends, and the vendor thoughtfully tied a green ribbon symbolizing the Irish team on the binoculars.

"That makes sense." Ron smiled.

Hermione went to another stall and bought a game manual for everyone, while Lu Ren bought some snacks and drinks.

By the time they got back to the tent, everyone had lost a lot of money in their wallets.The rest of the Weasley family also bought souvenirs, such as Ginny wearing a green badge and Mr Weasley holding an Irish flag.It can be seen that most wizards are trying their best to vent their shopping desires. This four-year event is the carnival of the wizarding world.

A low, deep gong sounded from afar in the woods, and thousands of lanterns sprang up from the woods, illuminating the way to the arena.

It's time for the final.

Under the leadership of Mr. Weasley, everyone walked towards the arena.Along the way, they could hear thousands of people walking around, shouting, laughing, and intermittent singing mixed together, and everyone was infected by the frenzied atmosphere.About 10 minutes later, they came out from the other side of the woods, and a huge stadium stood in front of them.This kind of magnificent stadium is not inferior to the scene of the Muggle World Cup final - even surpassed a lot. For example, Wembley Stadium, the Queen's venue for the England national team, can accommodate 9 people, and the Cotton Bowl and Rose Bowl in the United States It can accommodate 9 to 2 people, South Africa's football city is 3, and Barcelona's home stadium can exceed 9.4. The only ones that surpass it should be North Korea's May Day Stadium, which can accommodate 15 people, and the unrenovated Brazilian Mara. Cana Stadium - This stadium can accommodate up to 20 people to watch the game, but it can only accommodate 8 people after reconstruction.

"It can accommodate one hundred thousand spectators! The five hundred staff of the Ministry of Magic have been busy for a whole year." Mr. Weasley said proudly, "Every inch of this place has been cursed to repel Muggles."

The so-called Muggle Repelling Curse is a spell to expel Muggles. Whenever a Muggle approaches here, they will suddenly think of something urgent—such as forgetting to turn off the gas, the heating, or the wife seems to have a date with the neighbor next door tonight, and then hurriedly walk away.This spell is also effective against satellite detection.

Seeing Lu Ren's stunned look, Mr. Weasley also showed a satisfied smile. He was proud of the work of the British Ministry of Magic from the bottom of his heart.

But what really surprised Lu Ren was not that every inch of land here was cast with a spell—Hogwarts also had the same Muggle-repelling spell. What shocked him was that such a magnificent venue was built in only one year. alright!
This is a stadium big enough to hold 10 people!China, which is famous for its infrastructure capabilities, took four years to build a bird's nest that can accommodate 8 people.As a result, it only took one year for the wizarding world to build this gymnasium, and it was still done under cover!
Muggles can make civil engineers work overtime, so try your Ministry of Magic to make people work overtime day and night?

Only now did Lu Ren realize the terrifying infrastructure capabilities of the magic world.

This thing is kind of magical.

Lu Ren feels that the building can be built so quickly, probably because the internal structure is relatively simple, and there should be no need to lay a foundation - after all, it is a one-time building, and magic can be used to make the building last longer.

But this thing is still too magical.

But the people in the Ministry of Magic seem to be good seedlings in civil engineering, this is Lu Ren's conclusion.

Mr. Weasley came to the top box with the best location, and Bagman was quite nice and gave him the best ticket.

The boxes are located at the highest point of the stadium, facing the golden goalposts.There are two rows of gold-plated seats inside, and the box can accommodate about 20 people.This is the best location for a Quidditch pitch.Slightly different from the Muggles, the position of the Quidditch pitch is as high as possible, while the best position of the general auditorium in the Muggle football stadium is the seat on the side of the goal for the home team fans, and the seat for the neutral fans. It's the sides of the pitch because the view is better there.The most important thing is not to have any obstructions.

Lu Ren followed the Weasleys and sat in the front row. He stretched out his head and looked down. He saw an unforgettable scene: one hundred thousand wizards were taking their seats one after another. The seats were shrouded in a mysterious golden light, surrounded by The oval Quidditch courts are arranged in steps upwards.Magic must have been cast inside the arena, too, with the entire field as smooth as velvet.

Three fifty-foot-high rings stand on either side of the field.To their right is a huge blackboard with flashing gold text ads.

Afterwards, the box was slowly filled up. The people who came were all well-known wizards, and many big figures passed by this box, heading for the exclusive box of the Minister of Magic next door.Mr. Weasley kept shaking hands, and Percy stood up and bowed again and again.

A Secretary here, a Patriarch there, kept Mr Weasley busy.When Minister for Magic Crouch walked by the box, Percy was sitting on a porcupine's quill.

Crouch was flanked by Bulgarian Minister of Magic Obalonsk. Crouch looked at Harry, showed a standard smile, and then introduced the "Boy Who Lived" to Obalonsk.

What followed was a small exchange between the two ministers, who chattered in a language no one could understand, but they seemed to be having a good time talking.

Harry was already in a fugue state, but suddenly his expression changed: he saw the Malfoys passing by the box as well.He was a little nervous. He knew that Lucius and Mr. Weasley had not dealt with each other very well since the Hogwarts era, and Lucius himself was a pure bloodist. I am afraid that Lucius would not have any good things to say. .

Harry made a mental note, and he decided that if Lucius started something, he'd give the guy back.

To Harry's surprise, Lucius came in and looked around. Harry was sure that he saw Hermione, but he just pursed his lips and said in his slow voice, "Good location, if it rains , you will be the first to know." Then he smiled hypocritically, and Malfoy next to him also smiled, and then proudly stated that he and his father were going to watch the game in the Minister's Box, which was personally invited by Minister Crouch.

"Don't show off, Draco," Lucius glared at him, "I hope you guys take the time to enjoy yourself." After leaving such a rambling sentence, he turned and walked towards the minister's box.

Then he nodded slightly to Mr. Weasley and took a seat in the minister's box.
