In Shanna's opinion, there's nothing her Gege can't handle!

If you have one, there's no use being gloomy; you can just use the magic items from your little bag to smash it.

Completely unaware that his younger sister was plotting to demolish Hogwarts, Bell glanced up at the Surveillance Mirror above and said:

"Next, we need to forge a video document."

After saying that, Bell floated up and came to the side of the Surveillance Mirror.

He pressed his Wand against the Surveillance Mirror and, by manipulating the magic within the Surveillance Mirror, wrote the images in his mind into Surveillance Mirror.

Honestly, Bell didn't believe for a second that the scene he had spent several minutes designing could fool the audience on the shore.

Those Little Wizard who love to watch the drama unfold are one thing; at their teens, they're at the age where their imaginations run wild, not to mention they're constantly being fooled by Dumbledore.

Therefore, even if the Little Wizard discover something unreasonable, Bell believes that the other party will come up with a reason that they believe is reasonable in their own mind.

But those on the Judging Panel, especially Dumbledore, couldn't possibly have missed the inconsistencies in the footage.

I'm sure Dumbledore will ask about it after the match.

But it's really not a big deal.

To prevent technology theft, every product from the Bell Family has strict security features.

No matter how powerful Dumbledore was or how skilled he was in magic, without understanding the specific technology and encryption methods, it would be impossible for him to see through the root of the problem at a glance.

Once the Surveillance Mirror is back in the hands of the Bell Family's technicians, then they can say whatever they want.

Dumbledore busy with countless affairs every day, and he also had to think about how to scheme against the little the Chosen One. He didn't have time to dwell on such a trivial matter.

So if we just delay it, this matter will probably just pass by.

"Alright, you guys go outside and have some fun. Just be careful not to appear within the Surveillance Mirror's field of view."

After giving the five little ones a few words of advice, and waiting until they had all left the Mermen Village, Bell removed the Hacker Cube from the Surveillance Mirror and secretly slipped away, hiding in a blind spot of the Surveillance Mirror.

"You guys have fun here, but try not to make any more noise. I'm going upstairs to check on things."

With Shanna and Gabrielle watching him go with reluctance, Bell swam towards the lake.

Along the way, he even took a detour to secretly help Phoebe deal with those Grindylow.

Please don't misunderstand, this isn't about Bell showing any chivalry or anything like that.

The problem is, if Phoebe ultimately fails to escape those Grindylow, who will rescue Gabrielle?

We can't exactly let Shanna take Gabrielle ashore, can we?

After disembarking from where he came from, Bell slipped back into the stands without anyone noticing.

The chaos in the stands provided excellent cover for Bell's stealth.

Let's go back a few minutes.

After Bell removed the Hacker Cube, the fake scene he created was immediately presented to the many spectators on the shore.

Suddenly, gasps of surprise rang out from the screen displaying the Mermen Village, which had been so unremarkable that no one had paid any attention to it.

The once quiet and orderly Mermen Village was thrown into chaos the next second.

The Little Wizard saw a dark shadow flash across the screen, disappearing along with a burly merman.

At the urging of several harpoon-wielding fishmen, the chaotic fishmen quickly swarmed towards the direction where the dark figure had disappeared.

However, due to the limited monitoring range of the Surveillance Mirror, and the fact that those fishmen were constantly fighting the enemy outside the screen, the curious Little Wizard could only judge from the fishmen's chaotic shouts that the battle must be very intense.

"Dumbledore! What's going on?!"

Seeing the unexpected happen, Karkaroff was overjoyed!

Keep in mind, they're currently hosting the Triwizard Tournament at Hogwarts. Therefore, if anything goes wrong, it's undoubtedly a problem with Hogwarts and a dereliction of duty by Dumbledore!

Karkaroff, who had been badly tricked by Dumbledore and Bell in the past, now desperately wants to see Dumbledore suffer a setback.

"We can lose the game, Dumbledore must not feel good about it!"

"It seems there was a slight mishap."

"Dumbledore said calmly."

At this moment, he was squinting, carefully observing the image on the screen.

Looking at the empty screen, a strong sense of unease washed over Dumbledore.

With his sharp eyesight, there was no way he couldn't have seen through the shadowy figure. Yet, the reality was that he simply couldn't discern what that fleeting shadow was.

If he didn't see it clearly, it could be said that he had been focused on Harry. But now, it's as if these fishmen are deliberately avoiding the Surveillance Mirror. Not a single fishman has appeared in the frame from beginning to end.

That's so strange!

And let's not forget, Dumbledore could understand the Merfolk language. Listening to the Merfolk's chaotic shouts, he always had the feeling of listening to Magic Puppet speaking.

In conclusion, Dumbledore was hesitating whether he should go to the Black Lake now to see what had happened.

"A minor accident?"

Snort!

I told you long ago that those murlocs were unreliable!

"If anything happens to Krum, Hogwarts will bear full responsibility!"

Karkaroff said, outwardly angry but secretly pleased.

At this moment, the shouts coming from the screen grew fainter. It was easy to tell that the fishmen were chasing after the unknown enemy.

The problem is, those merfolk all chased after the other side in a chaotic frenzy? Not a single one was left behind?

This is really... fantastic!

If anything were to happen to the four hostages, he would like to see if Dumbledore could remain as composed as he is now.

"Madame Maxime, what do you think?"

Knowing he couldn't defeat Dumbledore, Karkaroff decided to deal with the barbarian woman again for safety's sake, just to find himself a human shield.

In case Dumbledore angry and wants to kill him to silence him, he can have the other person hold the line while he goes to "call for help".

"Well done! That's fantastic!"

After Karkaroff asked his question, Madame Maxime immediately let out an excited shout. This made Karkaroff look at Madame Maxime with admiration.

He truly hadn't expected his opponent to be so brave!

And does the other party also hate Dumbledore and Hogwarts so much?

You see, although Karkaroff thought the same thing, he didn't have the guts to say it directly to Dumbledore's face.

"Truly a barbaric woman!"
