Train to Another World.

Chapter 535 Return to the original appearance

After returning to the castle, Li Zhuoguang saw the two people talking to Maxim and Karkaroff. Li Zhuoguang walked over without avoiding them, and Maxim and Karkaroff did not look unnatural when they saw Li Zhuoguang coming.

The two principals hurried towards the exit of the hall, but Karkaroff glared at Li Zhuoguang ungratefully. Li Zhuoguang did not take it seriously and just let him leave from his side.

He looked up at the two warriors and said, "I'm surprised you didn't choose to tell on me."

Lucia rolled her eyes. "Do you think they know nothing? We have planted many wizards hired by the family into the team this time, and now they are all dead. Although it seems tolerable on the surface, it is still too abnormal in the eyes of those who know the situation."

Andrew added: "They both know that we are the ones pushing the Triwizard Tournament forward from behind, and they also know that we have arranged people in the team, but they don't know our true purpose, and we don't intend to let them know."

"So, they don't know about Qilin?"

"Of course they know that the president of the Magic League is elected by Qilin, but very few people know that Qilin will be kept by the Li family before the election, and very few people know the Li family."

Li Zhuoguang had some guesses in his mind: "Has it been like this for so many years?"

"Always."

"It seems that the chairman of the Magic Alliance is probably chosen from a small circle, right?"

"Every country has such a small circle. Some things are better not to be known by too many people. Even if there are powerful outsiders, they need the introduction of insiders to be included in the circle."

Li Zhuoguang shook his head: "I just didn't expect that even the Dumbledore family didn't know about it."

Lucia shrugged. "If he wanted to, he would have known it decades ago. But from the beginning, he made it clear many times that he was not interested in becoming the chairman of the Magic League. So after discussing it, we decided that it would be better not to let him know."

After understanding the general situation, Li Zhuoguang turned around and was about to leave.

"Please wait a moment." Andrew grabbed Li Zhuoguang's arm. Li Zhuoguang turned around and looked at him with a frown. Andrew withdrew his hand as if he had been electrocuted. "Excuse me, I just contacted my family. The Schneider family is willing to pay double the gold galleons to win this election."

Li Zhuoguang left: "I have said it before, this election will be decided by Qilin himself. And the Li family will keep Qilin for the last time, so you can find someone else for future elections."

Li Zhuoguang's words shocked the two. You know, the reason why the Li family was able to serve as the Kirin custodian after the Grindelwald Rebellion was nothing more than three reasons:

First, he is good at fighting. It can be said that to a large extent, this position was forcibly taken away by the Li family back then.

Second, the Li family is located in an ancient oriental country, which is the birthplace of Qilin. Almost all Qilin are under the surveillance of the Li family. No one can take Qilin away without the permission of the Li family.

The third and most critical point is the Li family's talent called "Magic Throat", which gives the Li family the ability to communicate with magical animals. Although Qilin has its own ideas, the Qilin used for election are all cubs, and they are too easy to be bewitched.

With the ability to communicate, one would of course have the ability to manipulate elections. Any family that was confident in their own strength would certainly support the Li family in keeping Qilin.

After all, in their opinion, this kind of election should be a competition of comprehensive strength. Winning is expected, and losing is also convincing. Of course, this was everyone's initial thought. Soon, they were taught a lesson by the high fees of the Li family. It's not that no one has tried to have the candidate's family not pay, but in this case, the Li family will let Qilin not vote for anyone, resulting in the direct abortion of the election ceremony.

Such a result is undoubtedly a slap in the face of the entire Magic Alliance. As for changing the election method? This is impossible. Many rules in the magic world seem absurd, but there is a sense of ritual behind the rules.

For example, the Goblet of Fire selects the Warriors, and Qilin selects the Chairman, and these cannot be easily changed.

After decades of patience, everyone finally waited until the Lee family was at its weakest. They decided to restore the election to its original form because everyone was about to be drained dry.

Before, Li Zhuoguang said that Qilin would choose by himself this time, and the two thought that Li Zhuoguang was just saying it in anger and was ready to embarrass the Magic Alliance. But Li Zhuoguang emphasized it again at this time, which made them understand that the head of the Li family of this generation really intended to give up Qilin, the cash cow.

This generation of the Li family's patriarch is really... unexpected.

"Thank you." Lucia whispered behind Li Zhuoguang.

Li Zhuoguang, who had already walked a few steps, turned around and showed a ferocious smile: "Thank you? Do you think the matter of you finding someone to block me is over? Just clean your butt and wait for death!"

The Triwizard Tournament had already attracted much attention, and reporters from all newspapers and magazines had been paying attention to it. The Daily Prophet, as the leading local newspaper, was even closer, and Rita Skeeter, as an ace reporter, wanted to live in Hogwarts.

So when a series of events such as fugitive invasions, Dementors stationed, and Dementors killing international friends occur, they will be reported in the Daily Prophet at the first opportunity.

What was surprising this time was that Fudge, as the Minister of Magic, readily admitted that the tragedy was caused by the negligence of the Ministry of Magic, which was very inconsistent with his previous style of professionally shifting the blame. But since it was directly admitted by others, it was not surprising that he was embarrassed internationally and his reputation at home was greatly reduced.

Fudge felt very sad. If Dumbledore had advised Fudge, "Brother, be a man and come out and apologize," Fudge would have thought that Dumbledore was crazy. But Li Zhuoguang...

Although that was the first time that Fudge met Li Zhuoguang, he had heard of Li Zhuoguang's reputation before. He originally thought that he was just a kid in his teens and the rumors were exaggerated.

But when Dumbledore tacitly acknowledged that Voldemort...bah, the suspected mysterious...bah, the head of the unknown two-faced man was chopped off by Li Zhuoguang, Fudge was completely numb.

He dared to disobey Dumbledore because he no longer needed Dumbledore's protection since the fall of the You-Know-Who. Moreover, he had also realized over the years that Dumbledore was a good man who was consistent in his appearance and heart, and would really not do anything to him.

But Li Zhuoguang was different. He even chopped off the head of..., which showed that he was unscrupulous and did whatever he wanted. He was just the Minister of Magic, how special could he be? Since the other party wanted him to admit his mistake, he just admitted it.

Soon, it was Halloween. On the night of Halloween, Hagrid secretly found Li Zhuoguang.

"Hagrid, don't hide. There's no shelter in this hall that can hide you." Li Zhuoguang said to the huge creature behind the potted plant.

Hagrid came out somewhat awkwardly and just waved at him. Li Zhuoguang then realized that Harry was following behind Hagrid. After calculating the time, Li Zhuoguang roughly realized that this was the traditional leaking part of the Triwizard Tournament.
