Chapter 72： Quidditch traceability (1/2)

”Then... take your time here, let's go out and fly for a while.” Fred glanced at the flying broom that Albert had placed next to him, then turned and left the locker room with the others.

Albert picked up the book and flying broomsticks and went to the auditorium, found a place, and opened the ”Quidditch” to read carefully:

Quidditch's name comes from the place where Quidditch was born.

Albert's understanding of Quidditch lies only in the simplest common sense. As for the origin of the name, it seems unexpected, but it is reasonable.

In the 11th century, the diary of Getty Kidd, a witch living near Quidditch Marsh, has a related description:

One day, a group of people were riding a flying broomstick to play a ball over Quidditch Marsh. The ball fell into the vegetable field of Getty the Witch and was confiscated by her.

The next day, the players did not give up. They made a new ball and started throwing the ball into the woods at the end of the swamp to score.

On the third day, the players brought two rocks and flew around in the sky, trying to knock them off the broom.

This is the first ghost ball, scoring circle and walking ball.

Albert reached out his hand and flipped another page gently:

In a Quidditch game in 1269, Barberu Breg, the Speaker of the Wizarding Council, came to watch. He told the players on the field that whoever could catch the King Pan in the game would get 150 gallons.

At that time, hunting of Jin Fei Xia was popular, and any wizard who caught Jin Fei Xia could become famous.

Since then, Jin Feixia and Quidditch have been in contact.

Later, Quidditch had a hunter who was specifically responsible for catching Jin Pan.

If a hunter can catch and kill King Pan, his team can win 150 points to symbolize the 150 gallons that Breno promised.

”Is it 150 gallons in 1269? This wizard council speaker is really rich in tm.” Albert muttered softly. ”No wonder, after catching the Golden Snitch, he scored 150 points.”

However, it is not difficult for Albert to guess the fate of Jin Feixia.

Sure enough, in the middle of the 14th century, the number of King Wings dropped sharply due to Quidditch matches, and was regarded as a protected species by the Wizarding Council led by Elida Cragg.

Later, the metalsmith Bowman Wright from Godric Valley invented the Golden Snitch. In the end, the Golden Snitch became a substitute for the Golden Snitch, and the Quidditch movement continued.

Albert had seen the Snitch. It is hard to imagine that a wizard at the end of the 15th century could make such an exquisite Snitch.

Of course, since the shock absorption curse was not invented until the 19th century, Albert could not help but maliciously guess how the Quidditch players before this overcome the sadness of the ball and rode the flying broomstick in the game. .

In the second half of ”Quidditch Traceability”, there is also an introduction to the Quidditch game rules. The most interesting thing for Albert is the rules of the Golden Snitch.

Except for the Seeker, any athlete who touches or catches the Snitch is a foul. In other words, there is no such thing as a player grabbing the Snitch and handing it over to their own seekers.

The game will only end if you catch the Snitch.

Of course, there is another situation, that is, with the consent of the captains of the two teams, the game can also end.

can be simply understood as one party concedes defeat.

Any kind of game, conceding defeat is always allowed.

Albert continued to scroll down and found several interesting rules.

In a Quidditch game, if the team is disabled, no other athletes can be substituted, but the injured athletes are allowed to be treated. If the athletes leave the field, the team will continue to play after the injured athletes leave the field.

Well, that is, there is no substitute?

Albert found another problem, that is, when he can't replace players, Charlie asks them to be alternates?
