Hogwarts: This wizard wants to improve too much

Chapter 127

Saturday noon.

After lunch, Ethan and his group walked to the duel arena.

Today is the eight-to-four competition between the first and second grades.

The first grade finished the competition in the morning, and it took less than an hour from start to finish.

It took a lot of time to place bets in the front.

The previous competition did not have these, and it only started this morning.

And the one who presided over all this was Luke Bagman, who opened the odds directly outside the arena. Each college had a senior student as his assistant, responsible for recording, collecting money and maintaining order.

When Luke Bagman came, Ethan guessed that this day would come.

After all, in the original book, Luke Bagman appeared twice, both times were related to gambling, and he lost a lot of money. He was the kind of player who was addicted to being a loser.

"I bet on Ethan Adrian to win, 500 gold galleons."

As soon as I walked to the ring, I saw a Slytherin squeezed in from the odds not far away and slammed the gold galleons on the table.

"Why don't you consider others? Ethan Adrian's odds are the lowest. Look at Ernie MacMillan, he's 50-1."

Ludo Bagman wiped the sweat from his forehead. It was only April now, and the temperature in the Scottish Highlands was not high. Why was he sweating so much!

"Just bet on Ethan Adrian. Are you still good? If not, just shut it down!"

Holt Avery looked arrogant. He was one of the 28th Sacred Clan. Who should he give face to?

Ernie McMillan is also a pureblood and one of the twenty-eight sacred families, but anyone with a discerning eye knows that he has no hope of advancing to the next round, and his performance is not as good as that idiot Weasley.

Isn't it crazy to bet on him?

On the contrary, betting on Ethan Adrian is a sure win. Even if the odds are low, it's still money.

"Okay, Paul, register him."

Ludo could only smile. If he didn't take it now, he wouldn't be able to start later.

This bet is directly from eight to four. There is no match table. Everything depends on eyesight and luck. The odds of the eight people are different.

He was puzzled. Ethan's odds had been pulled so low, and the odds of others were so high. Why didn't these gamblers know to take a gamble!

The odds are arranged by Ludo based on the performance in the competition during this period. Ludo has given enough face to Ethan's reputation as a genius and his performance in recent days.

1:1.05 odds.

The purpose is to prevent everyone from betting on Ethan Adrian. It is best to exclude him and let these little wizards bet on him.

It is equivalent to betting on Ethan, betting 100 gold galleons, and only getting 105 after winning, of which 100 is the principal. This is basically impossible in gambling.

Just announced thisWhen he came out, Ludo was ready to be picked on and kicked out. After all, even he had never seen such outrageous odds in his decades of gambling. It was probably hard for the young wizards of Hogwarts to accept it.

But who knew that not only did no one kick out the odds, but everyone bet on Ethan Adrian to win. This was outrageous!

The first-year game was fine in the morning, but it was like this in the afternoon. The son of a bitch Lockhart didn't explain it to him clearly. If he had known earlier, he would have lowered the odds a little bit. Anyway, no matter how low it was, these young wizards could accept it.

"Ethan Adrian, one thousand gold galleons!"

The little rich woman Daphne Greengrass came over closely, and Ludo's legs went weak as soon as she opened her mouth. This was another fifty gold galleons gone.

Daphne was eliminated in the last game. It was Cassandra who eliminated her. It was a rare internal battle in the school.

"Ethan, why don't you bet a little bit."

Fred, George and Cedric saw Ethan from a distance and walked over with a bright smile on their faces.

"You are laughing so happily, did you pick up money?"

"Isn't it picking up money!"

Fred turned his mouth to Ludo's handicap. He dared to open a second-year game. What's the difference between this and giving money.

Unless they can make Ethan play a fake game.

Otherwise, no matter how low your handicap is, you will lose money.

As for the little wizards, except for the very few who want to take a chance, most people still seek stability.

"How much did you bet?"

Ethan looked at the three curiously. Seeing that they were laughing so happily, it was estimated that there were quite a few of them.

Now Fred and George are not the poor ones at the beginning of the school year. Although the Buffy Brain Wake-up Agent is also available outside, it has not stopped in Hogwarts, and the price is still the same.

For the young wizards, it is naturally more convenient to buy in school, which makes the twins earn a lot of money.

There is also the pygmy puff, which is quite popular among the young witches. It looks cute and can be put in the pocket. When you are angry, pinch it a few times to vent your anger. This little thing will not get angry. It has been popular for a while and made them a lot of money.

Originally, Hermione and Qiu Zhang also wanted to buy one, but Ethan told them that this thing likes to use its tongue to drill into your nostrils and eat your boogers when you sleep, so they gave up the idea.

"We both bet 200 gold galleons, and Cedric bet more, 300."

The profit of ten gold galleons per person is not small.

Before they met Ethan, they had been studying at Hogwarts for two years and did some purchasing business for Hogsmeade Village, but they didn't save up ten gold galleons.

"You still play this?"

Ethan looked at Cedric in surprise. This was a good student in Ethan's mind!

I didn't expect him to gamble.

"Why not? We just saw Professor McGonagall and Professor Flitwick betting."

Fred nodded, confirming thatI agree with what Cedric said.

"This is actually quite normal. I also saw Professor McGonagall betting on the last Quidditch World Cup."

Okay, it seems that everyone in the wizarding world is a gambler. Even professors in the school are involved.

No wonder the odds are not set to avoid people.

"Then I'll go and place some bets. By the way, can the players place bets?"

Ethan, who was about to walk over, stopped. It's definitely not allowed in the Muggle world. It's okay to do it secretly, but you can't show it. Ethan has never participated in the wizarding world and doesn't know the market.

"Of course not for you, but you can ask others to place bets for you."

Fred looked at Ethan like a fool. (To read the exciting novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!)

"Then I'll go find Penelope."

"Wait, Ethan, how much are you going to bet?"

George grabbed Ethan who was about to leave and asked curiously.

They knew that Ethan was a typical rich man. Not to mention that he made the most money from the Bafe Brain Refresher in the school, he also made a lot of gold galleons from the cooperation with the Waller family outside the school. They have seen this.

"One hundred thousand!"

Ethan casually spit out an amount that shocked the three people 0 .........

Easily earn five thousand gold galleons, this wool is not worth it.

"You have made one hundred thousand now, how much money does the wizard mailbox make?"

Cedric was surprised and a little incoherent.

Although he was born into a pure-blood family, his family was just a small one, and his pocket money was not much. His father was just a small clerk in the Ministry of Magic, and even if they sold everything in the family, they could not make up 10,000 gold galleons.

Fred and George also thought of this. Their family was not as good as Cedric's. Now the three of them were all autistic.

The efforts of dozens of generations could not compare to Ethan's struggle for more than a year.

"It is indeed profitable."

Ethan nodded affirmatively. At present, the dividends are more than 60,000 gold galleons, and the foreign ones have not yet been counted. If they are counted, even if they have to share with foreign forces, Ethan's hand is estimated to be more than 200,000.

But there will not be so much later. This is not a consumable. One can be used for many years, unless it is replaced like squeezing toothpaste, just like the Nimbus 2000 and 2001. []

"Penelope, this way!"

Ethan saw Penelope coming from Hogwarts from a distance and waved to her.

"Your boyfriend is looking for you, why don't you go!"

Enid Hansen patted Penelope's butt and teased her.

"Single dog!"

Penelope said and walked quickly towards Ethan.

Looking at Penelope's leaving back, Enid Hansen was so angry that her teeth itched. It's not that no one wants her. On Valentine's Day, someone confessed to her with a dwarf. She just didn't like him.

Why are the people who find her ugly? When will they be together?Only when love comes can it be your turn.

She grabbed her hair hard to vent her dissatisfaction.

"Watching me have fun? Get out of here!"

She turned around and saw several little wizards around watching her have fun. Enid Hansen would not give them a good face and started to scold them on the spot.

The moment he saw Penelope, Ethan handed her a purse directly.

This contained 100,000 gold galleons that Ethan had specially saved and prepared to use to cheat the goblins. Now he used it first.

"Are you sure you want to bet so much?"

"Aren't you afraid that he will run away!"

Penelope took the 4.3 purses that Ethan handed over and was a little unbelievable.

"Where can he run away?"

"Just go and place your bets."

Ludo was invited by Lockhart. If there is no connection between the two, Ethan will let them eat shit.

In the original book, Ludo ran away because he had cheated the goblins of a large sum of money and could not repay it, so he had to run away, otherwise he would have been torn to pieces by the goblins.

Why would he give up such a respectable job as the Director of the Magic Sports Goods Department and become a wanted criminal?

Besides, this has just begun, there are still five grades, as well as the top four and the finals. How could he let it go?

"Then I will go!"

At the table, Ludo's eyes bulged out, and he looked incredible:

"You are talking about 100,000 copper knuts!"

In fact, 100,000 copper knuts is not a small amount.

"Golden Galleons, 100,000!"

Penelope pushed the purse over with a smile.

Ludo's face looked uglier than his mother's death.

That little wizard took his family property with him when he went to school!

This is simply unreasonable.

After asking someone to clean up the number of people inside, Ludo ran directly to Lockhart. He couldn't bear it anymore!
