Chapter 255 Quidditch World Cup Part (Please subscribe, please bookmark, please vote)
Just as Ryan began to carefully analyze the magic contained in the leprechaun's gold coin, Hermione looked around with a panoramic telescope. Suddenly she muttered to herself, "How did those two guys learn the Care of Magical Creatures class? It's a shame."

After hearing this, Ryan raised his head and picked up the telescope to look in the direction Hermione was looking. As a result, he saw Harry and Ron in the top box, each holding a handful of leprechaun's gold coins and grinning.

To be honest, it's really embarrassing to do this in front of a bunch of big names in the magic world. You said that many people here may not have learned the care of magical creatures, so it's understandable that they were fooled, but your behavior is really unacceptable.

Of course, if Ron and Harry were here, they would definitely say, who is as perverted as you, memorizing the entire book as soon as you get it.

At this time, Ludo's voice rang again: "Now, ladies and gentlemen, a warm welcome to the Bulgarian National Quidditch Team! I introduce to you - Dimitrov!"

As he introduced the players, they came out one after another. I have to say that although Ludo is a gambler, he does his job well. At least now the atmosphere of the game has been completely heated up. Every time Ludo called out a name, the audience below responded loudly. Especially when the Irish team was called out, the half home advantage made the audience cheer throughout the stadium.

"And our referee today, the well-respected President of the International Quidditch Federation, Hassan Mustafa, who flew all the way from Egypt!" With the final introduction, the referee from Egypt, wearing a golden robe that reminded one of the desert, strode towards the field, and then kicked the box open. All kinds of balls flew straight into the air, and the smallest golden snitch disappeared without a trace. As he blew the exquisite silver whistle in his mouth, the game began.

Even though Ryan was not a big fan of Quidditch, he could tell that the competition here was indeed top-notch, because the flying speed of all the athletes was much higher than those players in the school, and even formed red and green shadows in the air.

At this time, Ludo's commentary speed soared, because many times he just read out the name of the Quaffle and it appeared in the hands of another person. A lot of Quidditch tactics that Ryan had only seen in books were used smoothly, and Ludo didn't even have time to say the names of these tactics. In comparison, it must be said that Quidditch in school is actually just a game for students to relax in their spare time.

At this time, it was impossible to see the whole picture using a telescope, so Ryan simply activated the magic version of Hawkeye. As expected, this way he perfectly balanced the two purposes of seeing the whole scene and seeing it carefully.

"Eagle Eye." Ryan also cast this spell on Hermione who was watching the game excitedly. This was a magic that Ryan transformed after analyzing his own Eagle Eye and combining it with the magic of the same name in Nymph's magic book. Although the effect was a reduced version of the original Eagle Eye, the advantage was that it could be used by others.

After the light blue magic light touched Hermione, she was surprised to feel the magic effect and asked, "Is this the Eagle Eye Technique from the book? Do you know how to use it?"

"Well, what do you think?" Ryan didn't say that this was the result of his combined research with his Eagle Eye Technique.

"That's great. Now I can see the game more clearly. This magic is very convenient, but it's a pity that I haven't learned this part yet." After saying that, Hermione raised her hands happily and cheered, because at this time the Irish team scored the first goal of the game.

After carefully watching the players on the field, Ryan thought that the Irish team's chasers were well-trained and well-coordinated. Sure enough, after only ten minutes of the game, the Irish team scored three goals to change the score to 30:0, which caused a huge cheer and applause from the green-clad supporters.

Soon after, the Bulgarian team also launched an attack and scored a goal, after which the Veela jumped out and began to perform mental interference. During this time, the two Seekers, Krum and Linzi, quickly fell among the other players.

"My God, this is almost like a leap of faith." Ryan looked at the man who was faster than a free fall in surprise. "There is no haystack below, they are really warriors." It turned out to be just a fake move by Krum, and Lin Qi was knocked to the ground. Fortunately, he was still able to play after the examination.

The next 25 minutes were the most intense match Ryan had ever seen, with the score quickly widening to 130:10. This also gave the Bulgarian players the courage to use any means possible and began to attack the players directly. They elbowed the Irish goalkeeper and then directly rammed the Irish Chaser with the ball.

Naturally, this resulted in two penalty goals for the Bulgarian team, further widening the score. The Bulgarian mascot Veela started a fight with the mocking leprechauns. They transformed into bird-headed people with wings on their backs like Lei Zhenzi, and threw something flaming in the direction of the leprechauns. Members of the Ministry of Magic rushed into the field and tried to separate them, but it seemed to have little effect.

"This fight is really intense!" Ryan felt that the battle on the ground was as intense as the one in the sky. It must be said that magical creatures have their own unique aspects in many aspects. At least Ryan felt that creatures like Veela, who have human intelligence and innate magic, although their magic is a bit monotonous, their combat effectiveness can basically be regarded as that of a wizard with simple training if they are not prepared specifically.

Of course, this judgment may not be accurate, because the specific combat effectiveness of the British Ministry of Magic staff has always been a mystery. Those few staff members who were chased and beaten by Veela may not represent the overall level of the Ministry of Magic.

The players on the field were also affected by the melee and became even more excited. Krum was directly hit in the face by a Bludger and suffered a nosebleed, while the referee had no time to care because his broom tail was set on fire by a Veela.

In the end, Lynch spotted the Snitch first, but Krum caught the Bludger with greater skill.

"Ireland wins!" cried Bagman, an Irish supporter, bewildered by the sudden end of the match. "Krum caught the Snitch - but Ireland wins - my goodness, I don't think anybody expected it to end like this!"

"What an incredible and wonderful game." Hermione said after sitting back in her seat. "What do you think?"

"Indeed. This applies to both technique and tactics." Ryan replied. "For example, Krum immediately decided to stop the loss after realizing that it was impossible to recover the points. This kind of decisiveness is not something that ordinary people can do."

"It sounds like you admire Krum?"

"Yes, it's amazing that they made it to the final with a team that is overall inferior to Ireland. In this case, the only victory for the Bulgarian team might be a quick victory, catching the Golden Snitch before the Irish team won 150 points. It's just that he was unlucky and didn't find the Golden Snitch within the planned time. After finding that the situation was unfavorable, he was able to decisively give up the illusory hope and directly end the game with a better score. Such a smart person is indeed worthy of praise." Ryan carefully analyzed Krum's outstanding performance in this game.

At this time, Fudge took the trophy from the two wizards, and the Bulgarian who arrived at the top box first still received cheers. Especially when Krum's name was read, the whole stadium gave him an extremely warm and deafening cheer.

The Irish then entered the top box to receive the trophy, and when they lifted the trophy and walked around the field, the game was over.
