Chapter 499 You guys are smart, not even as good as France!
Looking at the wooden mug marked Made in England, William was in a bad mood.
He came all the way from England to Venice just to see knockoffs made in England? !
It’s like buying a scalper’s ticket at a high price, and finally listening to lip-syncing at the concert site... the whole time.
As a tenth-level user of Wangyiyun, he became depressed in an instant.
The last time I had such a bad experience was when William woke up and found that he had been torn apart and the scratch-off was gone.
Well, he was still in a good mood.After all, it's better to be torn apart and cause time travel than to be sold to Africa for mining, right?
Hermione tossed and turned, checking the glass a few more times.She didn't feel any magic from above.
Combined with that printed line... It doesn't take too much difficulty to understand that this is a fake goblet!
Let alone the Goblet of Fire, lighting it as a torch is too troublesome.
"What should I do? I lost the Goblet of Fire, so the Triwizard Tournament can't be held?" Hermione asked.
William looked at Hermione and sighed.
This silly girl... instead of worrying about the Triwizard Tournament, it's better to think about our problems.
It was true that he and Hermione were aboveboard, but this room was just the two of them.
Such an important magic item has disappeared... Can you explain clearly!
You said you didn't steal it, so you didn't steal it?
Well...even if you two didn't steal it...you can't find the criminal, so you have to take the blame first?
William didn't know much about Venice, but he did know about England and the French Ministry of Magic.
If it was Fudge... without further ado, he would be imprisoned in Azkaban first, and then wage a public opinion war in the newspapers, claiming triumphantly that the prisoner had been caught.
investigation?That was after all the dust settled.
Clegane is more bachelor, just look at old man Newt.He can also make decisions that are wanted in the city.
Through these two people, William had a basic understanding of European officials.
You don't expect these Ministry of Magic wizards to be as intelligent as Dumbledore.
These people will always do some suffocation and show operations that you can't understand.
So, to escape or not to escape... that is the question.
Just when William hesitated, the door was opened again.
Martel walked over slowly, and he apologized: "Something happened just now, and I need to deal with it urgently, boy, how about the Goblet of Fire?"
Looking at Maltai's age, William felt that it would be better to take care of his emotions.
Otherwise, the old man couldn't accept the news, and suddenly fell to the ground and died... Isn't it William's responsibility?
"Very good." He lied decisively: "Hermione, put it back quickly, don't break such a valuable thing."
William decided to leave here first.Even if the Goblet of Fire is found to be fake later, it has nothing to do with them.
At least the two sides are arguing.
"Wait, kid... I need to check." Martell stopped.
"The Goblet of Fire hasn't been rekindled in over 200 years, must be checked."
William and Hermione exchanged an innocent look, and the girl handed it over cautiously.
Martell checked with his wand.After a while, he suddenly raised his head and said in disbelief, "This Goblet of Fire... is fake!"
William glanced at Hermione, there was no need to speak, she had a tacit understanding, and said in a surprised tone:
"Fake? How come... I just opened the box... You read that right, sir?"
William silently gave Hermione a thumbs up. This acting skill is no problem for her to win an Oscar.
The old movie queen!
"It's not wrong." Martell checked again, his face gloomy.
"I've seen a real Goblet of Fire, it's full of powerful magic, this one is indeed a fake."
William also looked shocked, as if he couldn't believe it was fake.
He analyzed: "Someone must have dropped the bag secretly.
There should not be many wizards who can enter this room, probably acquaintances committed the crime... I suggest, check the guards. "
Hermione looked at William in admiration.
The old actor!
"Yes, it really needs careful investigation." Martel said seriously.
He waved his wand, and a silver sand snake flew out from the tip of the wand, passed through the gate, and flew outside.
Soon, the four Aurors at the door opened the door and came in.Nymeria followed behind with a confused look on her face.
William glanced up at the Auror and asked, "You don't suspect us, sir?"
"No." Martell took a deep breath and said, "But boy, I'm sorry, I have to temporarily detain you two!"
"Detained?! Detained us?" Hermione asked angrily.
"Why do we steal the Goblet of Fire like this? We have Dumbledore's letter, there is no need to steal it!"
"It's just a necessary procedure." Martell stepped back and stood with the Auror captain.
"Until the matter is investigated, both of you must stay in the cell."
"You can't lock us up!" Hermione shrieked. "You don't have any evidence!"
Martell's eyes widened, as if to say: No evidence?
"Miss Granger, no one has been here for a long time. But after I went out for a while, the Goblet of Fire was dropped."
He stopped. "I have no evidence, but there are sufficient reasons to detain and interrogate you.
I know you two are incredibly famous, but fame is no excuse to avoid interrogation.
I'm just following the normal judicial process. "
"No, you didn't!" Hermione said calmly, changing her mind.
"William is the youth representative of the Wizengamot, with written authorization from Dumbledore, President of the International Federation.
His identity is equivalent to that of the British Wizengamot.
According to the International Code of Magical Law, Article IX states:
Senior officials who commit crimes abroad need to be interrogated simultaneously under the supervision of wizards from both countries.Under special circumstances, they have the right to be extradited directly to their home countries.
There are no British Ministry of Magic officials watching here. "
Hermione paused and said, "You have no right to interrogate William, nor can you forcibly restrict his freedom without sufficient evidence."
Martell was silent for a while.
He stared at Hermione, and after a moment, said softly:
"Of course, Miss Granger, you have a good memory and you are right."
He said solemnly: "Britain is a country with a legendary history, rich culture and amazing wizards.
I'm not looking for conflicts.
We are committed to developing a constructive and results-oriented relationship with the Ministry of Magic and, in our defense relationship, opening lines of communication and reducing risk. "
Martell changed the subject, "So we will abide by the law and will not restrict Mr. Stark's freedom, but will only send Aurors to monitor him.
But you are not the Wizengamot, and you are not a youth representative, and you must cooperate with the interrogation and stay in the cell for investigation. "
Hermione breathed a sigh of relief.In her opinion, this is the best outcome.
William went out to investigate, whether it was to notify Dumbledore, or to find out the truth earlier... could save her.
It hadn't occurred to her that she wouldn't be able to find the Goblet of Fire, because William... sure would.She trusted him blindly.
The girl looked at the boy, but he just shook his head slightly.
"Don't be silly, Hermione." William grinned lightly and said, "Venice Prison is not Hogwarts, that's no joke.
It was neither safe nor comfortable there.
Isn't it, Mr. Martel? "
Martel didn't answer.But it is also the default.
With dementors as guards, Azkaban is the most famous prison in the wizarding world.But the magic prison in Venice is not bad either.
It is divided into water dungeon and lead-roofed cell.
As the name suggests, the water prison is built in the water.Usually level with the water level.So the prison was often flooded.
Now it has been raining for days, and the water level is about waist deep every day.
The lead-roofed cell is located in the next cell on the top floor.
The roofs of these cells are made of lead sheets, which are extremely hot in summer and bitterly cold in winter.
As long as it involves prison, there is no good place to go.
The old man said in a deep voice, "We will ensure Miss Granger's safety, you can rest assured about that..."
William sneered and interrupted: "What guarantee do you have?
The Goblet of Fire didn't even know it was lost... As expected of Idaly.
I seriously doubt that your combat effectiveness is not as good as that of France. "
"But..." Hermione hesitated.
In doing so, William would surely be wanted.He can go out safely by himself, there is no need to take such a risk for her.
William stretched out his hand and pinched Hermione's cheek, staring and said, "No but, I won't let you stay in prison alone."
Hermione looked at the boy, her eyes were moist and red.She bit her lip and didn't retort.
"Besides, if your father knows, I'll throw you in prison." William muttered. "He still hasn't broken my three legs?"
Hermione couldn't hold back, and burst out laughing. She rubbed her red eyes and gave William a white look.
Martell watched William intently. "As a wise man, Stark, the choices you made today were foolish.
You want to rebel against the high officials of the Ministry of Magic?Intentionally obstructing our investigation?Even if you are British, Dumbledore will not cover you. "
"And, given what you said just now, I think not only your wand, but even the magic items on your body must be checked."
"Look." William laughed arrogantly, "Hermione, you still want me to go out and investigate.
People have long thought of seizing wands, and now they want to seize magic items.
You said, can you give it to him? "
The girl bit her lip and shook her head vigorously.
There are a lot of secrets hidden in the safety table of the two.Not to mention the invisible dementors, there are also goblin diamonds and Ravenclaw crowns.
This cannot be handed over to the Italian Ministry of Magic.
William grinned and stroked Hermione's thick, shaggy brown hair.
He turned his head, his eyes gradually turned cold, and he said flatly, "Look, it's simple."
The captain of the Auror, who was already vigilant, suddenly shouted: "Be careful!"
At the same time, the wand shot out a spell, and it shot at Martell's head under the eyes of everyone, making some sharp-eyed bystanders think that he was insane.
Little did they know that the magic spell kicked off another magic spell, making a clanging sound of gold and stone.
There was another silver flash, whirling in the room, and with a loud bang like the sound of a cannon, the floor shook.
Then, a second silver flash exploded, filling the air with dust.
Nymeria's eyes widened suddenly, and she saw that the four Aurors were already on the ground.
Martell was also like a sand snake whose body was straightened, and flew out backwards, and after hitting the ground, he didn't move, and he was probably in a coma.
She turned her head and looked at Stark stupidly, her eyes full of horror.
The boy had already taken the girl, smashed the floor-to-ceiling windows on one side of the room, and jumped straight out from the fifth floor.
Nymeria sat on the ground in a daze, looking at the five fallen people with empty eyes.
