"I'm making something up?!" Moody roared. "Then can you refute what Elwyn said just now?!"
"I see now. You seem to have put a lot of thought into this matter!" Kakarov said coldly. "You, Elwyn Mason, and this boy, you are obviously very familiar with this kind of thing. If anyone mixed up the Goblet of Fire, it was you who did it."
"If I did it, I would make Elwyn a warrior. No wizard here is a match for him. He will definitely win the championship," Moody retorted. "Isn't that right? Otherwise, you wouldn't have deliberately restricted him from participating. This is a despicable coward's behavior."
Kakarov and Mrs. Maxim did not speak. They could not refute Moody. They both knew Elwyn's strength.
After the World Cup, Elwyn was now very famous in the European magic circle.
If a student from their school could beat Elwyn, they would not have deliberately restricted him from participating in the competition.
Compared to Elwyn, Ron was indeed nothing. Everyone could feel the insignificant magic power in his body.
As Snape said, this boy's brain was empty. He was a complete idiot.
Even Kakarov himself did not believe that Ron could pass the Hegemony Tournament.
"Making Weasley a warrior seems to be a harmless action that benefits the Hogwarts. But don't forget, there are indeed people who will use innocent activities to achieve their own goals!" Moody said in a threatening tone. "My job is to consider things from the perspective of a dark wizard, Kakarov. You should remember that."
"Arasto!" Dumbledore warned.
Moody did not say anything, but he still looked at Kakarov with hatred.
Kakarov's face was red as if it was on fire. He did not dare to look at Moody.
"There's no point in arguing. We must abide by the rules!" Mr. Crouch said softly. He had finally made a decision.
"But …"
"Mrs. Maxim, if you have another solution, we are all ears!" Mr. Crouch walked to the middle of the room and looked at Ron coldly. "This boy must participate in the competition. The Ministry will give a reasonable written explanation to the Ministry of Magic of your two countries."
"Thanks, Barty!" Dumbledore nodded to Mr. Crouch and said to everyone gathered in the room, "We don't know how this situation happened. But it seems to me that we have no choice but to accept it. Both Cedric and Ron have been chosen to participate in the tournament. "
Without saying anything, Mrs. Maxim glared at her angrily.
Snape also looked angry, while Kakarov's face was ashen.
However, Bugman seemed very excited.
Elwyn breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that this was the end of the problem. Next, it was up to Barty Crouch Jr.'s actions.
He looked at Mr. Crouch again. His slender body looked extremely strange.
Crouch was looking at Harry. Sensing Elwyn's gaze, he turned and looked at Elwyn.
This was the first time they looked at each other. Neither of them looked away, as if they wanted to see through each other.
Elwyn did not know what he saw in his eyes, but in his cold eyes, Elwyn saw a trace of madness and monstrous hatred.
He looked as if he could not wait to pull out his wand and kill everyone here.
Elwyn could clearly feel that this guy was a madman, a thoroughly dangerous terrorist!
This expression was fleeting. In the blink of an eye, Crouch returned to his usual self.
"Well, let's continue, shall we?" Bugman said, rubbing his hands and looking at the people in the room with a smile. "Are you going to give guidance to our warriors? These three kids … "
"Let them stay here. There's nothing to keep secret about this!" Mr. Crouch said.
"Well, listen up, warriors. The first event is to test your courage," Bugman said to Ron, Cedric, Hibiscus Chinensis, and Wickidor. "So we're not going to tell you what it is. Courage to face the unknown is an important quality for wizards. It's very important. I hope you can understand this."
"The first event will be held on November 24th, in front of the other students and the judges."
"When completing the event, warriors are not allowed to ask for or accept any help from their teachers. When the warriors face the first challenge, the only weapon in their hands will be their wand. When the first event is over, they will learn about the second event. As the competition is very demanding and long, warriors will not take part in the annual examination. "
Bugman finished in one breath, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and turned to look at Crouch.
"That should be all. Is there anything else you want to add?"
Crouch shook his head and returned to his position in front of the fire, as if he had a special fondness for it.
"Are you sure you don't want to stay at the Hogwarts tonight, Barty?" Dumbledore said, looking at Mr. Crouch with some concern.
"Yes, Dumbledore, I must go back to the department!" Said Mr. Crouch. "You know, these are very busy and difficult times. I have to write a report for Foggy about tonight's event. I've put young Weatherby in charge of a lot of things temporarily. He's very enthusiastic, but to be honest, a little too enthusiastic. "
"Well, why don't you at least come and have a drink before you go?" said Dumbledore.
"Come on, Barty, I'm staying here!" Bugman said excitedly. "It's finally happening at the Hogwarts, isn't it? It's much more interesting here than in the office!"
"I don't agree, Ludo, and I can't stay here." Crouch said with his usual impatience. "I have to go. There are so many things waiting for me to do."
As he spoke, he turned and left the room. Snape followed him to see him off.
Looking at his back, Elwyn thought quickly.
If he was impersonating Barty Crouch Jr., then he would soon give himself away if he didn't leave.
The discussion just now had gone on for a long time. If he didn't drink the compound decoction soon …
Unless he didn't use the compound decoction to transform, then the time was almost up.
In that case, it was understandable that he was in a hurry to leave the Hogwarts. Crouch wasn't Moody and couldn't keep drinking from his bottle. If he chatted with Dumbledore for a while longer, he wouldn't have time to secretly drink the compound decoction.
In any case, the matter here was over.
Although he didn't know what he was plotting, Ron had become a warrior with his help. The rest of the matter could be left to Keresis.
Letting him help Ron as Moody wouldn't arouse suspicion.
Barty Crouch Jr. didn't have to risk his life to stay at the school. He just had to show up at the last moment.
But when he thought of the crazy gleam in Barty's eyes, Elwyn felt that things wouldn't be so simple.
"Professor Kakarov, Mrs. Maxim, would you like a drink before bed?" Dumbledore said.
Mrs. Maxim ignored him. She put her arm around Hibiscus Chinensis's shoulder and quickly led her out of the room.
The two of them spoke rapidly in French as they walked toward the auditorium. Both of them looked unhappy.
Kakarov was the same. He greeted Krum.
