HP's Platinum Temptation

In this world, people who care about face are probably the ones who are most afraid of those who are shameless and have no limit.In particular, when this person was still his suitor, if he hadn't been forced to step back, he would have already surrendered.

Lucius said that he is definitely not someone who will give up easily, and the result is that when he tested Winter's bottom line, he lost his armor and gave up his armor.

As the patriarch of the Lambert family, Winter has no psychological barriers to modifying Malfoy, which makes Lucius completely unexpected.

Before this time, Lucius couldn't help but ask, "What do you want?"

Then Winter will answer with one word in a gentle and decisive tone: "You!"

So the situation fell into a new round of cycle.

In Lucius' understanding, if Winter wanted him, wouldn't it mean that he wanted Lucius to marry him and become Mrs. Lambert?

Lucius thought that Winter's original intention was just refusal, after all, every time this topic was brought up, Winter would always add a 'but' at the end.

But this time, perhaps seeing Lucius' distrust, Winter said again: "I'm not joking, if you really plan to do that, I have no problem personally, but there is one thing that must be done Only when the Dark Lord's matter is completely over, can I hand over the patriarch's identity to other people."

The reason why bad checks are ineffective is that they always have loopholes of one kind or another.But Winter's answer is impeccable, both in terms of sincerity and substance.

Realizing this, Lucius suddenly felt a little guilt in his heart.

If you ask Lucius, do you care about Winter's concealment of identity?Although the surface is calm and calm, in fact, Lucius has never let go of the plan to find this answer in his heart.

After finding out that Winter was unsuspecting about the selection of the school manager, Lucius had already put Dumbledore's proposal as the most important event on the agenda.He would agree to Winter to live together on the top floor before the World Cup finals. On the one hand, he softened his attitude, and on the other hand, he also planned to paralyze Winter.

Not a calculative Malfoy, not a real Malfoy, no matter what.

Because of the influence of the promotional video at the end of the World Cup final, the number of World Cup spectators staying to watch the game reached two-thirds of the original number.Even most of the Ministry of Magic officials from the two finalist countries chose to stay.

The first day was an exhibition match between two Auror teams, as well as an introduction to the rules and modes of the upcoming official match.With the strong support of the Minister of Magic, the Aurors performed very well on the first day, which greatly increased the audience's interest in continuing to watch the competition.

Because of the expansion of the scale of this competition, it was named the first wizard duel live-action competition.Divided into juvenile and adult groups.The underage group is the confrontation between the four Hogwarts college teams, with six people in each team, five formally participating and one substitute.Setting up a team leader is equivalent to the maker of team strategy.The way to determine winning or losing is based on the school's Quidditch Cup, and the one with the most points wins.

The participating members of the adult group were named Team Auror, Team Violet and Team Glory.There are ten people in each team, divided into two competition groups, and the team leaders are the Auror Director, Henry Winter and Lucius Malfoy, three people who are prohibited from participating in the competition.In the early points competition, only one team needs to be sent for each game.The two teams with the highest points will play an open-ended match with ten players from each team on the last day of the schedule.

The points races of the minor group and the senior group are held at the same time, the former has a total of six points games, and the latter has three games.So it was arranged that starting from the second day, there will be two games of the minor group first, and then a game of the adult group.

The first day of the points match was Slytherin vs. Gryffindor, Ravenclaw vs. Hufflepuff, and Aurors vs. Violets.

Compared with the position of Box [-] on the Quidditch stadium, there is also such a place in the live competition venue, which is divided into two parts, half of which is used by the VIPs who are completely on the sidelines, and the other half is provided for the relevant personnel of the participating teams. Let them observe other teams' games from the clearest angle.

Early in the morning, before the game started, Lucius arrived in the viewing room.The first match was Slytherin vs Gryffindor.This battle is quite explosive for native British wizards.

The large ring-shaped field was shrouded in white mist, and the actual situation inside could not be seen clearly.The preparation areas on both sides began to have people from the participating teams arriving one after another, and then Lucius saw Clarence Lambert and Jeffrey Rist arriving together.On the other side, Professor McGonagall also brought the two Weasley brothers into the arena.

At this moment, the door of the viewing room was opened.Lucius turned his head and found that the person who came in turned out to be the head of Slytherin, Snape.

"Severus? Why are you here?" Lucius asked in surprise, and looked again at the Gryffindor preparation area, confirming that Professor McGonagall was there.

"Did someone stipulate that the dean must be the team leader?" Snape snorted coldly, and sat down at a random place.

"I thought so." Lucius frowned, and suddenly had a bad feeling: "If it wasn't for the team leader, why would you drop your potion and come over to watch the battle?"

"Do you think, besides Dumbledore, who else would maliciously ask all the faculty and staff to come and watch the battle?" Snape clearly expressed his dissatisfaction.

"And who will the leader of Slytherin be? Theodore Lambert?" Lucius asked.

Snape rolled his eyes. "That's Hufflepuff's leader, I think you're asking knowingly. The Slytherin leader is another Lambert."

At this moment, other Hogwarts staff also came in and greeted the two people in the room.Except for Dumbledore, the other staff of Hogwarts are basically here, except for Filch.

Soon, the preparation areas on both sides were full of people.Arriving 5 minutes before the start of the game, the giant billboard in the venue listed the relevant information of the participating members. The one with the green armband is Slytherin, and the one with the red armband is Gryffindor: "I thought Clarence Lambert Mr. Te will represent Slytherin House in the competition." Looking at the signboard, Clarence's name was prefixed with the word leader, and Lucius said something depressed.

"Haha, that's impossible." Sprout, the dean of Hufflepuff College, who was also robbed of the team leader's job, let out a cheerful laugh, and enthusiastically explained to Lucius: "Clarence Lang Mr. Burt was banned from the competition by the joint request of all students."

"When did this happen?" Lucius asked puzzled.

"Before the holidays last year. All the students requested that Clarence be banned from participating in all student competitions." Professor Sprout continued to explain generously.

"So, I think, Principal Dumbledore should know about this?" Lucius asked again.

"Of course, Clarence's ban was signed by himself, Professor Snape and Professor Dumbledore." Sprout explained the truth unsuspectingly.

"Thank you for your enthusiastic answer, Professor Sprout." Lucius expressed his thanks with his signature polite smile, and then sat back in his seat.

Obviously, this time he was tricked by Dumbledore.At that time, Dumbledore used this to lure Lucius to agree to the students' participation, just to prevent Lucius from wanting to drag the Order of the Phoenix to the competition.

No wonder Winter showed an incomprehensible expression when he heard that Lucius offered to allow Hogwarts students to compete.

Facts have proved that the vigilance of Dumbledore must be maintained at all times.Lucius began to seriously consider whether there were any other traps in the matter of the school manager.

If Clarence didn't play, Lucius would have no interest in the students' games.On the field, including exhibition games, there is no repeated environment in the 11 games this time.Although the style of the Violet Alliance can be seen from Clarence's command layout, if the executor of the strategy is a student, the expressive power is too limited.

Thinking of it this way, Lucius lost interest, found a reason, and went back to the observation hall.

******

Without Clarence, the participant who disrupted the balance, the other students spent about the same amount of time learning the new fighting methods, so they fought evenly.As a warm-up match, the match between Slytherin and Gryffindor was very exciting, causing the audience to cheer again and again.

From the viewer's point of view, although the students' game is indeed not enough to watch after the World Cup finals, considering that the game is free, they still want to be satisfied.

The Auror vs. Violet match was delayed into the evening because the student match took longer.In the evening, smoke billows from the tent camp.Many spectators did not return to the auditorium before the game start time.The main reason is that the performance of the two student games in the morning made them a little tired.

But soon, less than 5 minutes after the game started, the noisy tent camp suddenly jumped up and down.A large stream of people who had received news from relatives and friends crowded towards the entrance.

Just when most of the people who rushed to the venue halfway were still stuck at the entrance, there was a sudden burst of cheers that almost broke through the ceiling of the venue.Then, a game commentator invited from WWN Wizard Radio shouted excitedly: "Win! In less than 10 minutes, the Violet team won!"

The winning or losing of the game is based on the loss of the fighting ability of the whole team as the standard.Because the members of the Violet team are basically not the well-known wizards who are famous for their combat effectiveness.There's even a Dana Hall fresh out of Hogwarts in it.So the Auror team did not send out the most elite team.Underestimating the enemy is the main reason for their failure.

For the foreign spectators watching, it doesn't matter who the two teams win, the point is that the game was won very quickly and simply, which can be called wonderful.So the applause and cheers were simply given to today's winners.

But in the box on the top floor to watch the ceremony, the atmosphere was extremely depressing.In order to accompany officials from other countries, Old Crouch stayed in the viewing room, but Minister Barnold and Lucius appeared in the viewing room together.

"It's said that old Crouch's complexion was so bad that he couldn't hold back any smile at all, and he almost slammed the door and left. On the contrary, Minister Barnold didn't seem too unacceptable." When Clarence returned to the observation hall, Lucius had already returned, and as soon as he saw him enter the door, he asked Clarence, "Have you ever talked to Minister Barnold?"

"It's not us, it's me." Clarence put his arms around Lucius who didn't resist, rubbed his neck, and let out a contented grunt.

"Don't stop halfway." Lucius pushed Clarence in dissatisfaction, threatening not to hug him until he finished speaking.

"I talked to Minister Barnold about what you were going to do in the final." Clarence tightened his arms and explained: "She is the Minister of Magic, and things are about to happen, no Probably continue to hide it from her. Our enemy is not the Ministry of Magic, and they cannot be allowed to be too passive."

"Didn't you tell the rest of your family yet? Why did you tell Barnold first, and you didn't inform me of this in advance!" Lucius said angrily.

"The characters in my family are relatively honest. When the time comes, it is very likely that people will see their reaction. I don't think they can act, so I simply don't let them know. After the incident, I will Explain to them. But to the British public, the Minister for Magic should have more power over us than we do."

"So she is not surprised by today's results at all?" Lucius asked again: "I didn't know that you could have such a great influence on the Minister of Magic."

"No, I just told her that I wanted to show her something that might surprise her. But from your description, the mentality of this lady minister is better than I imagined." Clarence He rubbed Lucius' hair again: "Hey, take a shower together?"

"Get out!" Lucius pushed Clarence away immediately, and quickly turned back to his desk. Before he turned around, Clarence clearly saw that he was blushing.

This discovery entertained Clarence all night.

On the second day of the official competition, inspired by the previous day, the students' competition became more exciting than before.In the evening, Team Violet lost to Team Glory.The two sides fought evenly, which made the audience really pay attention to the fact that the fighting philosophy held by the Violet team is different from the traditional wizard duel system.In the end, the Glory team only won one person.

On the third day of the official competition, the match between Slytherin and Ravenclaw broke out the best among the students.Jeffrey made an oolong by mistake, and stepped forward to save Daphne, but was hit by the binding spell of his own academy.This caused a big laugh from the audience.Later, Jeffrey was released by his teammates and rushed to the back, with others as the main attacker.In the end, the Ravenclaw players were separated and defeated one by one, and finally won this one, which was also the victory of the entire student competition.

In the evening game, the Auror lost to the Glory team again and missed the final.The British Ministry of Magic Auror was completely slapped in the face.For this reason, people from the Daily Prophet have published an interview with the Minister of Magic.Minister Barnold declared that this was a good lesson, and the Auror Department would deeply reflect on it and make improvements.Director Auror also came up with a new training plan in due course.Perfectly completed the image public relations this time.I also helped to promote this live-action competition system. Xuancheng Aurors will regularly rent venues for combat training in the future.

However, although the Glory team won the Violet team and the Auror team at the same time, they entered the final with No. 1 points.However, this does not mean that in the eyes of the audience, the Glory team has definitely won. On the contrary, the situation of the battle seems confusing.Although the Glory team won the Aurors, they only won two people.And against the Violet team, only one person won.But Team Glory took much longer to win the Aurors than Team Violet did to win the Aurors.

The three-day points match also gave the audience a basic understanding of the three teams. By the time of the finals on the fourth day, the symbols of the two teams sold outside the venue had been snatched up by the audience who stayed to watch the game.

When Clarence led the ten members of the Violet team into the arena, he saw that the entire auditorium seemed to be divided into two halves, one half was waving a light gold flag, while the other half was a sea of ​​purple.

"Gold and violet, haha, this scene is really interesting." Clarence looked up from the preparation area and joked, but the participating players around him looked dignified, not in the good mood he was.

This time the preparation area was lifted into the air, the height was only a little lower than the bottom row of auditoriums, and the entire preparation area was expanded into a ring-shaped circle of seats, which were specially reserved for special spectators such as the Minister of Magic. seat.The outside world is Xuancheng, and the final finals must be watched closely. As for the reason for the actual change of seats, at least two or three people know about it.

The leaders of the two teams will also return to the special seats from the preparation area to watch the game after sending their players into the competition field.

"Okay, don't be nervous. Anyway, we only let the second team play in the first two games, and we are good at teamwork. Isn't the larger the number the better the advantage?" Clarence encouraged the tens of people around him: "Although our method has not really faced enemies who are good at traditional fighting methods, we must have confidence. The only thing I want to remind you is, wait a minute in the game, no matter what happens outside, pay attention, it is anything, don't Don't worry, insist on finishing your competition. Do you understand? I just remember this instruction clearly?"

"Understood!" A very clear and crisp answer.

Clarence waved his hand with a smile: "Go, go, it's time for you to perform, I'll go back to the auditorium first."

On the other side, Lucius, a little later than Clarence, also left the preparation area, and the game officially started.

The map of the last game finally showed its appearance. It turned out to be a city map, which obviously imitated the layout of downtown London.All the contestants who entered the competition area were taken aback.

At this time, the projection on the giant signboard is explaining to everyone the rules of map selection and generation.

Most of the previous games were all kinds of wilderness, or small towns, without such a bustling big city.But take a closer look at the map library introduced on the board, in fact, urban terrain accounts for a quarter of it.The official explanation given by the system is compared to the wilderness.The probability of fighting in a populated city is higher.

"Mr. Winter, may I ask which terrain the Violet team is good at?" On the field, the participating teams are still investigating the situation and have not yet encountered it.So the host from WWN freely asked Clarence who was not far away from him.And this question, of course, can be heard throughout the venue.

"Our team is well-trained in all kinds of terrain conditions, but if we want to say the best, it should be the woods."

"Then Mr. Malfoy, what is the specialty of Team Glory?"

Lucius frowned and hesitated for a while before uttering a word: "City."

In fact, the Pure-Blood Alliance has never actually used the real-scene system to train a few times. It's not that Clarence doesn't give it, but that they don't like it.After coming several times to confirm the similarity between the inside and the outside real scene, they no longer come to use the system training.

"It seems that Merlin is more fond of the Glory team today! Then let us wait and see! Supporters of the Violet team should not be discouraged, let us look forward to their wonderful performance together."

The host immediately turned his attention away and led everyone to pay attention to the situation in the arena.

After roughly figuring out the nearby terrain, the Glory team quickly divided into four teams, 3, 3, 2, and 2, and headed towards the direction directly opposite the starting point.In the past, the Violet team, who had been going straight to the center of the map like everyone else, suddenly dispersed into two five-member teams, one left and one right, and set off to the opposite sides of the map.One direct, one roundabout.If Team Violet's strategy succeeds, Team Glory will fall into a passive position.

During the match, Clarence suddenly felt a chill down his back. Turning his head, he saw Lucius' extremely serious and slightly angry expression.

'What's the matter, why that expression? ’ Clarence tried to express his kindness with an innocent face.

Lucius pointed to the direction of the playing field, then pointed to Clarence, then narrowed his eyes, and gestured to Clarence to cut his throat.

Because Lucius and Clarence were sitting relatively close to each other, and there was only Dumbledore, who was paying attention to the game and the referee, between them, so no one else noticed them except Dumbledore. little tricks.

Clarence felt terribly innocent, and it was clear Lucius was blaming him for the problem with the map.But Clarence said he really didn't have the option to control the map.

At this moment, Dumbledore stood up suddenly, staring at the direction behind Clarence.

Seeing this situation, Clarence immediately reacted and put his right hand into his pocket.And Dumbledore's wand has already fired a spell in the direction behind Clarence.

The movement outside the arena only attracted the reactions of the people nearby. Old Crouch, who was sitting not far to the left of Clarence, was pointed at by a man in a cloak with a magic wand. Touched old Crouch's forehead.But it failed because of Dumbledore's obstruction.

Just when everyone thought the danger was lifted, a huge Dark Mark appeared in the sky above the stadium.Screams instantly resounded throughout the auditorium.

The author has something to say: Because Yuanyuan thinks that you probably won’t care too much about how the game is played, so I didn’t describe it in detail, I probably took it~

In the end, Clarence guessed the meaning of Lucius' actions wrongly. What do you guys think is the best interpretation? (*^__^*) Hee hee...
