Casting spells

In fact, ten days before the start of the game, around a huge stadium built in a hidden place in England, many fanatical fans have arrived in advance one after another, set up their own tents, and there are also a large number of strange miniatures for sale. Vendors of gadgets and souvenirs, and gamblers looking to make a fortune.

That's right!

It's sports betting!

It's just that the wizards obviously haven't enacted any laws restricting gambling, so people ranging from 80 to [-] years old, down to children who can just talk, anyone who can take out real gold and silver coins from their pockets can participate .

Appreciating the scene full of laughter and joy in front of him, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly, and sighed with a smile: "It's really a group of carefree idiots, isn't it? I'm afraid they would never have dreamed of what will happen next. Interesting things……"

"Totally agree! This is the world that Dumbledore wants to build! If things continue to develop like this, it won't take long for the entire wizarding community to become more and more depraved and more and more enthusiastic about pleasure. By then we will gradually become Muggles vassals, even slaves. He doesn't understand at all that the reason why the Muggle government dare not judge us is not how friendly they are, but because they are afraid of the power of magic. The mask of hypocrisy, we were all arrested and sent to the laboratory for cruel experiments."

Lucius Malfoy is obviously very familiar with the darkness and greed of human beings, especially the ordinary human world, and the true meaning of the so-called "peace" in a word.

Since humans entered the civilized society, the war and killing among each other has never stopped, and its cruelty is far more terrible than any species that has existed on the earth before.

But why after the end of the Second World War, all major powers stopped all-out wars by coincidence, and turned to relatively cautious war methods such as espionage, infiltration, fostering puppets, and proxy wars?

It's not that the high-level people in these countries have become more moral!

It's that they can't afford the price of an all-out war!

A thermonuclear war on a global scale means that human civilization is likely to be destroyed. Even if some people survive, it will be difficult to re-emerge on the dangerous wasteland.

Anyone who knows a little bit about biology knows that any creature needs to maintain a certain diversity to survive, and the power of thermal weapons is enough to cause fatal damage to the diversity of surface creatures.

So strictly speaking, "peace" is equivalent to "nuclear peace".

Many people who don’t know the truth may be surprised that the barbaric and bloodthirsty Europeans were so warlike in the past. From Greece to Rome, from barbarian invasions to the Dark Middle Ages, to the Age of Discovery and modern times full of gunpowder, there is almost no one There are no wars in the year.

Why did China suddenly become peace-loving during the Cold War?

The answer is simple. I was frightened by the two superpowers, the United States and the Soviet Union, waving nuclear sticks every day.

Although the two countries have never really started a war in Europe, they have chosen Asia as the battlefield for the proxy war, but anyone who understands geopolitics knows that Europe is so important that once a war starts, it will definitely be a big war , so neither side dared to fight.

On the contrary, Asia is not so important, and a fight will not cause the situation to get out of control.

"That's right! Once the wizards become docile, they will not be far from extinction. You are smarter than I imagined." Zhang Cheng glanced at the handsome middle-aged man who was meticulously dressed beside him with some surprise.

You must know that this guy's performance in the "Original Book" can be described as an idiot to the extreme, and he doesn't look like a nobleman who is proficient in conspiracy and tricks.

But now he suddenly realizes that Lucius is not actually stupid, and many seemingly stupid choices are actually just forced to help him. Once he gets enough resources, he will immediately turn into a headache opponent, even Albus After Dumbledore suffered a loss, he could only knock out his teeth and swallow them in his stomach.

"Hahahaha! It's a pity that the greatest wizard in existence deliberately pretends not to see this. I sometimes wonder if he is a spy sent by the Muggles to lead us to self-destruction." Lucius laughed ironically road.

"Spy? No, he doesn't deserve to be called a spy. At best, he's just a white left with a burnt out brain." Zhang Cheng curled his lips in disdain.

"Bai Zuo?" Lucius obviously heard this word for the first time, showing an expression of interest.

"Ah, it refers to those idiots who claim to be morally noble and think that they can use love and justice to influence the world. In their concept, the minority is always more important than the majority, animals are always more important than humans, and even want to ban all human beings The morbidity of eating animals. Look at Dumbledore, isn't that the theory he preached?" Zhang Cheng explained meaningfully.

Just when Lucius was about to express his views on this kind of people in high spirits, he suddenly saw his son and Harry Potter walking towards him, immediately hid his bitter and mean faces, and greeted with a smile: "Well, did you find anything interesting?"

"I didn't find anything interesting, but we bought some souvenirs." Malfoy showed the doll and hat in his hand.

"Me too!" Harry held up the magic telescope in his hand.

"Where's Hermione? Isn't she with you guys?" Sensing that there was one person missing in the team, Zhang Cheng immediately asked.

Harry turned around and pointed to a red tent in the distance: "Granger and Zhang Qiu are playing tarot divination with a gypsy over there, and they probably won't come out for a while."

"The gypsy's tarot divination? It sounds very interesting, maybe I should go and have a look. I'm sorry, I'm sorry for a moment." A strange flash of light flashed in Zhang Cheng's eyes, and he quickly walked towards the red tent.

Because he could feel that the tent was filled with a strange magical energy. Although it was difficult for ordinary wizards to detect it, it was as conspicuous as a bright light in the night to him.

Obviously, this is not divination at all, but a premeditated and planned approach.

Zhang Cheng, who has always considered issues from the worst point of view of human nature, doesn't think this will be a prank or a joke among friends...

Chapter 759 Quidditch World Cup

"Ah, the queen who is playing, this card represents a happy life, full of femininity and a fruitful relationship. Beautiful lady, congratulations, your future fortune is very strong."

Inside the red tent, a woman with a veil showing only two brown eyes, and covered with small and large amulets, pendants and other trinkets all over her body, held a Tarot card and explained with a smile on her face.

The person sitting across the table was none other than Hermione Granger who had been invited to watch the Quidditch World Cup final.

Needless to ask, I know that, like most girls who have just entered puberty, she will inevitably start to become interested in the opposite sex, especially the vaguely ambiguous atmosphere a few days ago, which further encourages this kind of lingering in her mind. Fantasizing so much that I forget my dismissive attitude towards divination.

In contrast, Zhang Qiu next to him was a little sad.

Because what she drew was a lover, and it was a lover who was placed upside down.

According to the definition of the Tarot card, this means that feelings will be frustrated, and lovers or friends will betray themselves, which is an out-and-out bad omen.

"Sounds good!" Hermione didn't notice the reaction of her friends at all, her eyes sparkled with excitement and anticipation.

Just when she was about to pay for the card as a souvenir, the veiled gypsy woman suddenly pointed a finger at the wooden box on the table and asked, "Beautiful lady, I don't know Are you interested in looking at a treasure, a treasure that can really change the fate of others? I promise, it will never let you down."

"The treasure that changes fate?!" Zhang Qiu's eyes widened suddenly, showing an expression of interest.

Although there is a voice called reason in her heart that keeps reminding that this is probably a trick to cheat money, but her sensibility keeps shouting, as long as it is not too expensive, she must buy it and reverse the love brought by her lover. doom.

"Yes! This is the treasure passed down to me by my grandmother. A hundred gypsy witches died to make it. Now, let me show you it..."

With the last word blurted out, the gypsy woman put her hand on the lid and opened it with the utmost care and slowness.

But before the lid was pushed halfway open, she suddenly stopped all movements, followed by a slight involuntary trembling all over her body.

About ten seconds later, a familiar voice came from behind: "You are very perceptive and smart. Do you understand? If you dared to continue to open the lid just now, you would be a cold corpse now."

The voice just fell!

A black figure came out from the darkness behind the tent, it was Zhang Cheng himself.

It's just that he doesn't have the slightest bit of friendliness that he usually pretends to be at the moment, and his two eyes are shining with the light of destruction and death.

"My... my lord, I can explain..." The gypsy woman was obviously frightened.

To be precise, she felt a more terrifying and desperate atmosphere than Voldemort's.

"Explanation? No, no, no, you don't need an explanation, and I never like to hear a pawn explain. I'm very sorry, it seems that your companion must complete the task alone. As for you, I will not kill you, but You need to send a clear message to your master." As he spoke, Zhang Cheng raised his hand and aimed at the opponent and shot a light blue light.

moment!

Women feel that their sensory organs are infinitely magnified, even the light clothes and jewelry they wear become extremely oppressive.
