Chapter 125 Butterfly Wings
Chapter 125 Butterfly Wings
On the morning of the third day, half of the 400 players will be eliminated, and more than 1000 players will be born in the resurrection match.Among the nearly 80 chess players before the afternoon, the top wizard chess experts were born.
On the morning of the fourth day, the top 10 chess players will be selected, and the top chess players who failed yesterday morning will be mixed and played to select the real top chess players, and then the top will be born in the afternoon.
Just as Rita said, William met a top player in the afternoon, an old wizard who had been ranked between forty and fifty in wizard chess all year round.
After William defeated the opponent, he said meaningfully: "You are very strong and your style is more like Bill Jones than Bill Jones, but I think your temper needs to be changed. After all, the chess king has a very good temper."
The old wizard looked at William coldly, and left the arena without saying a word.
Haha, French chess king, William sneered in his heart.
A famous wizard whose ranking has remained unchanged all year round has this level of calculation. Does this mean that he drank intelligence enhancers?Or Felicia?
Looking at the back of his opponent as he left, William sneered, and then waved to the audience. Gabrielle happily hugged Fleur in the box, as happy as if she had won the championship.
Martin Delacour smiled and told his brother about Bill Jones' use of compound medicine. Francis shook his head, disapproving of the chess king's personal end.
Fleur was a little confused and whispered: "Just for hundreds of thousands of Galleons?"
Martin looked at his eldest niece and said helplessly: "Of course not. It seems that the market is only limited to Paris, but in fact, through peripheral betting, there are branches in London, Berlin, New York, Tokyo, etc., and these branches are the majority of those people. .
Here in Paris, the Ministry of Magic wants to take 70% of the proceeds, we want to take 300,000 Galleons, and the rest is only a few tens of thousands of Galleons. "
"But it's different in other places. Relying on insider information in Paris, each of them can take one to three percent of the dividends, and the income is between 200,000 and 800,000.
If they open gambling markets with others in Moscow and Madrid in private, they can even make hundreds of thousands of galleons. "
Fleur frowned and said, "Then if William wins the championship, wouldn't he offend many people?"
Apolline glanced at Martin and said: "That's not possible, and Vincent is unlucky. Without this one million income, the Ministry of Magic's bonus will shrink a lot this year.
As for other people in the major gambling markets, they can still get a lot of Galleons, maybe even more. There are also old Wilde and old Jones who were slapped in the face. William's odds were set by the two of them, and he also greeted several other newspapers. "
Fu Rong immediately felt relieved.
John said: "Grandpa Jones is also a big loser. He has to say goodbye to hundreds of thousands of Galleons."
Ever since she learned about the bastard things Carl Jones did, Fleur had developed opinions about the family. Regarding John's words, she said disdainfully: "Does their family only make money through gambling?"
John smiled strangely and said: "As far as I know, that's the case. Despite Karl's usual arrogance, they actually have a lot of family members, and they have to decorate the facade, and they don't have stable income from medicine fields, manors, etc., so they are just glamorous on the outside, but they are not as good as they are on the inside. No more.
Carl pursued his sister not only because she was beautiful and talented, but also because of our family's money.Last night, while drinking with someone, he cried and said that the dowry of millions of Galleons and a few manors that produced potions were all gone. "
Apolline glanced at Martin with a half-smile.
John's mother, Patricia, turned her head from the seat next to her and said in surprise: "In that case, why not spend hundreds of thousands of galleons to buy property? Wouldn't it be better?"
Martin took the coffee from the elf, passed it to his wife, and said to his wife, who didn't understand industrial operations: "Patricia, if you have a manor with an annual output of tens of thousands of galleons, would you sell it unless absolutely necessary? ?”
Patricia suddenly realized that the number of fixed assets in the wizarding world is very small because they are closely related to the magic network nodes. These assets are basically controlled by pure-blood wizards and wizarding families, unless there is a revolution in the wizarding world, or the family has a huge loan that cannot be repaid. Otherwise it is rarely sold.
Just like William, he has more than 200,000 gold galleons, but apart from buying a house, there is no need to think about magic medicine fields, small manors, small ranches, etc.
Why is Pomona Sprout, the Herbology Professor at Hogwarts, willing to work at Hogwarts even though she has an unparalleled talent in growing potions?
In addition to high salary, annual leave, and high benefits, the most important thing is that Hogwarts is located on the largest magic network node in the UK.
Even the Forbidden Forest can be nurtured by the magic of Hogwarts, and centaurs can grow some simple herbs. In the greenhouse of Hogwarts, the herbs were growing every day, which made William drool.
They both had part-time jobs. One was a migrant worker working hard for the wizarding family, and the other was a senior professional manager who was almost a partner. Sprout naturally chose to work at Hogwarts.
Sophia, who stopped in the top forty, looked at William who was holding a palm-sized gold medal, and then looked at the silver medal in his hand, feeling strange.
"Congratulations, William." Eliza Huppert smiled.
"Thank you, we have to wait and see tomorrow." William smiled, holding the golden chain of the gold medal and dangling it.
"How about selling it to me, I'll pay ten thousand galleons." Sophia walked over and whispered.
William shook his head and said regretfully, "I just promised to give it to a child last night."
Gabrielle has ordered all of William's brands in exchange for allowing him to skip Christmas presents this year.
Sofia didn't need to know who the kid was, so she said softly: "You are really grand."
"It's just one medal." William looked at the silver medal in Sophia's hand, and said indifferently. What he valued was fame and status, not the medal itself. He can refine more than a dozen of these things in a day.
I'm too kind, otherwise I could get a lot of Galleons by just practicing dozens of these things, a certain person thought.
As the concentration of alchemists in the French wizarding world, the well-crafted commemorative plaques are naturally extraordinary.
The bronze medal on the first day is a first-level magic work, equipped with a fluorescent spell. The bronze medal on the second day is a second-level work that can release a second-level protective iron armor.
On the third day, the silver-plated magic card is a third-level alchemy work. By inputting magic power, you can run faster. The gold-plated gold on the fourth day is also a third-level alchemy work, which can summon magic wings and allow the holder to fly for a short period of time.
On the front of the gold medal is still the wizard chess competition logo, time and place, and on the back is the name of the winner and the ranking achieved. For example, the back of the William brand says William Smith, and in the middle is a large 10-character brand. The brand is all engraved with magic patterns as the background of the letters.
After William received the gold medal, the three left together.
