"Huh, that's not necessarily true. My student is not the kind of person who likes to talk big. He said before that he could win the Quidditch World Cup, and he really did it easily!"

When Snape heard Karkaroff taunting Jerry, his face turned cold and he retorted directly. He also specially emphasized the word "easily".

He doesn't have the good temper of Dumbledore. Some people are teasing the students of his school, but he is also his favorite student. It is very polite not to directly cast the Shadowless Curse.

When Karkaroff heard this, his eyes suddenly widened, and he was obviously angry at Snape's words.

However, as a former Death Eater, he still knew and was wary of Snape's strength, so he didn't say much and could only suppress his anger and replied:

"We will know the truth later."

At this time, Ludo, Director of the Sports Department of the Ministry of Magic, who was not willing to be lonely, suddenly said:

"Since everyone has different opinions, how about we make a small bet on whether Mr. Jerry Kamen below can break the age limit?"

As an old gambler, he couldn't control himself whenever something like this happened.

Standing next to him, Barty Crouch, Director of the Department of International Cooperation, frowned:

"Ludo, this time is not appropriate!"

Their job this time is to cooperate with the three schools to ensure the smooth completion of the Triwizard Tournament while ensuring the safety of the competition.

Karkaroff and Snape are obviously starting to lose touch with the student below. If Ludo makes another gamble, wouldn't that add fuel to the fire?

No matter who wins or loses, the relationship between the two principals may become even worse, which will not be beneficial to their future work.

"Haha. I just want to give you an opinion. I just want to make an opinion."

When Ludo heard Barty's words, he did not dare to refute.

Although they are both Directors, Barty's status in the Ministry of Magic is much higher than his.

If Barty Jr. hadn't been a Death Eater back then, causing Barty's reputation to suffer great damage, it wouldn't have been Fudge who would have been the minister, but Barty.

However, Karkaroff over there rolled his eyes:

"I don't agree with what Mr. Crouch said. Principal Snape and I are such stingy people. How can we get angry over this matter? I think Mr. Bagman's suggestion is good."

After saying that, he turned to look at Snape again:

"In this case, I bet 10,000 gold galleons that Mr. Carmen below cannot break the age limit."

Snape, as the top potion master in the wizarding world, is famously wealthy. Now in this kind of sure-win gambling, how could he let it go so easily?

If Snape agrees, he will definitely win ten thousand gold galleons. If Snape doesn't agree, he will be slapped in the face, and he will also win enough face.

When Snape heard Karkaroff's words, he didn't even look at him and said coldly:

"I bet twenty thousand gold galleons!"

Karkaroff suddenly felt a thump in his heart. He vaguely felt that something was wrong, but after thinking about it carefully, he still felt that Snape was definitely bluffing.

There were five of them, including Dumbledore, who arranged the age line together. Even if Jerry Kamen is recognized as the most genius wizard in the wizarding world, the future Dumbledore.

…

But after all, he is only in the fourth grade now, so how can he possibly have a way to crack it?

"Twenty thousand is twenty thousand!"

Karalov gritted his teeth and followed directly.

Twenty thousand gold galleons can be considered his entire family fortune.

Although he is the principal of Durmstrang, the school's property does not represent his personal property. When he leaves office, it will be handed over to the next principal.

The wealth he has accumulated over the years is only about 20,000 gold galleons in total.

Hearing that Snape and Karkaroff bet twenty thousand gold galleons, Ludo and Barty both took a deep breath. This was not just to relieve their anger, but they were risking their entire family fortune.

"Mr. Dumbledore?"

Barty looked at Dumbledore, hoping he would stop him.

But as soon as he finished speaking, Beauxbatons principal Maxim smiled and said:

"Well, I'll give you five thousand gold galleons to participate for a little bit, and bet that Mr. Carmen can't get rid of the age limit!"

Although she had no grudge against Snape, it was a competition between the three schools at this time, and a small win could dampen the momentum of Hogwarts, so she couldn't miss it.

In the competition between the three schools, Durmstrang and Beauxbatons obviously did not take each other seriously. What they were even more afraid of was Hogwarts, which had been the number one wizarding school for so many years.

"Well, then I'll give you five thousand gold galleons and bet that Mr. Carmen can crack it, so I can earn some retirement money."

Dumbledore then laughed.

Seeing that even Dumbledore was involved, Barty had no choice but to shut his mouth.

Ludo, who originally wanted to bet on Karkaroff and win a lot, hesitated when he saw Dumbledore actually placing the bet.

Although everyone with a discerning eye knows that Jerry cannot break the age limit, Dumbledore's bet has made everything uncertain again.

Years of gambling experience told him that at this time, it was best not to place a bet.

"I have a way, but if I do this, it will violate the regulations. Since the age line is set, it is also to reduce possible risks."

Jerry looked at the expectant eyes around him and said hesitantly.

When the Weslai brothers over there heard that Jerry actually had a way to lift the age limit, they immediately rushed over like the wind.

"Jerry, you have to know that the Goblet of Fire selects the best among many people to become a warrior. Since he is the best, he is definitely the most likely to win the Triwizard Cup, and his strength will definitely not be bad.

So, I don’t think there is any need to worry about the age limit, and Jerry, as a member of the school, don’t you want to win the Triwizard Cup for our school?”

"Jerry, let's all give it a try. Even if we don't choose to be a warrior, at least let us give it a try before we are willing to do it!"

At this time, Ron and all the other young wizards around him who were underage asked Jerry.

Jerry looked at everyone, and then sighed helplessly:

"Okay then, prepare a piece of paper with your name and school on it, and let's try it together!"

When everyone heard that Jerry had agreed, they all excitedly looked for paper and pens everywhere.

Even little wizards like Hermione, who had not originally planned to participate, couldn't help but prepare one for themselves after seeing everyone preparing notes.

Hermione felt that since Jerry was ready to participate, there would probably be no drama compared to them, so participating would be enough to fit in with the atmosphere.
