"Hey, head, how did you do this?"

Early the next morning, at dawn, Varian, with his helmet and tattered cloak, staggered to the entrance of the Black Ghost Warband's camp. Bloodfist was the first to spot his leader, and the strong orc rushed forward and held the weakened Varian in his hands.

"Did you fight with the Thunder Elephant?"

The orc looked at the blood stains on Wari's body suspiciously, he knew very well how good Varian could fight, but it was precisely because of this that Varian's embarrassed sight surprised him even more.

"I had a fight last night..."

Varian turned his head and spat on a mouthful of bloody saliva, and he snorted:

"That's a lot more difficult to deal with than the thunder elephant, go get me a glass of water, get some food, don't alarm the others... I need to take a break. ”

As he spoke, the tired gladiator tossed aside the tattered cloak behind his back, and the sword wrapped in it also fell to the ground, and the orc picked up the sword, which was not the black sword that Varian often used, it was a bit heavy, gray on the outside, with all kinds of scratches, and no ornate hilt, it looked like a bad weapon made by a bad blacksmith.

But Blood Fist is also a veteran gladiator after all, his knowledge of weapons is deeper than that of ordinary warriors, the orc reached out and flicked the blade of the sword, put it in his ear and listened, and then waved his wrist, in the whistling sound of the wind, this inconspicuous sword, easily smashed the stake under the orc's feet, the cut mark was smooth, fully showing the sharpness of the sword.

"Tsk, that's a good thing, head, where did you find it?"

The orc placed the sword in Varian's hand in amazement, and the latter glanced at the sword, his gaze lingering for a few seconds, then turning his head, rubbing his aching muscles, and whispering:

"Oh, that's..."

"I bet I won! I'll use that stuff from now on. ”

"Mommy, Mommy"

Anduin, who had changed his clothes, followed behind the silent Queen Tiffany, and while he played with the rough beast bone dagger in his hand, he asked his mother:

"Did you quarrel with the Black Ghost yesterday? He said he knew my dad, do you know him? ”

Tiffany, who has always been calm and gentle, looked a little anxious today, and in the face of her son's constant questioning, the human vampire rubbed her forehead, put down what she was doing, she turned her head and crossed her waist, looked at her precious son, and said sternly:

"You're not allowed to play with that liar again, you know? He does know your dad, but he's... He's a jerk! He's going to spoil you! ”

Anduin was a good boy in the truest sense of the word, and when he saw his mother rising, the little prince hurriedly hid the dagger in his hand, and he looked at his mother timidly, and he retorted in a weak voice:

"But... But the Black Ghost promised me that he would win the Champions Cup, and then take a few magical images with me with the championship belt... That's the birthday present he promised me, and I just... Just wanted to hear some stories about my father from him, I haven't met him yet. ”

"This..."

Hearing her son's words, Tiffany's original scolding could no longer be said, she squatted down, touched her son's hair, and then held her son in her arms again, and after a moment, she sighed:

"Well, you can continue to play with him, but only with Uncle Tyrion's permission, understand?"

"Okay!"

Anduin nodded happily, he knew that his uncle was the best for him, and his uncle would not refuse his request, after getting his mother's permission, Anduin rushed out of the room, he wanted to finish today's homework quickly, so that he could follow Dornan and the others to Nagrand to watch the game... Well, there are still 40 minutes before the game starts, which should be enough to complete those schoolwork.

Watching her son leave, Tiffany sat down in the chair behind her with some discomfort, and she slouched her wrist, where there was a bracelet made of rough animal bones, not as valuable as the jewelry she had once matched, but the first gift that the man had given her after years of absence.

And when she remembered the passion she had had been in the Nagrand prairie last night, Tiffany's cheeks turned red, she was a vampire, it was not easy to make a vampire's cheeks red, she had been born in an aristocratic family since she was a child, and she had such a presumptuous experience... It's the first time.

"Yo, look at my little Tiffany... What are you thinking? I can feel that you're thinking about something very rude. ”

A teasing voice rang out behind Queen Tiffany, startling her to the point where she almost jumped out of her chair, and she looked back at Aurelia with a playful face, like a child who had done something wrong, not knowing what to say.

Aurelia approached Tiffany, and sniffled slightly, as if she had smelled something, and she squinted at the flushed Tiffany, who whispered in the queen's ear:

"Why does it smell like a strange man? Have you finally figured it out? Or is it... Continuing the Frontier? ”

"I just... It's just..."

Tiffany anxiously wanted to refute, but the more anxious she became, the more speechless she became, and Aurelia looked at her sister so flustered, she covered her mouth and chuckled, and then patted Tiffany on the shoulder:

"Okay, I'm just kidding you... I know how much you and Anduin miss Varian, and it's not a good idea to be presumptuous once in a while, but I warn you, Tiffany... Being too close to Sarein in a living body will cause some damage to his body, I'm not asking you to abstain, but don't do it too often. ”

This blunt reminder lowered the queen's head, and Aurelia looked at Tiffany, she sighed, a hint of sympathy flashed in her blood-red eyes, she took Tiffany's hand and led her to the garden of the Dark Temple, and as she went, she said:

"And if you want to continue the frontier, there is a problem that cannot be ignored, the woman next to Varian... Valeera. Sangunar, she has a deep love for Varian, she is my compatriot, Tiffany, the High Elves are extremely loyal to feelings, and her appearance can be called beautiful, under her lingering offensive, it is difficult for men to resist, especially a sensitive man like Varian, so you must find a way to solve that "hidden danger"! ”

The Blood Mother seemed to remember something, she gritted her teeth, and a hint of coldness flashed in her eyes:

"It's going to take a hard time against this little hoof, and if it's not convenient for you to come forward, I can ask Shadow to plan an operation to tie her up to the Dark Temple, or more simply... Kill it directly! So as not to cause endless trouble! ”

"No, no, no, no."

Tiffany hurriedly stopped the eager Aurelia, she closed her eyes to calm her emotions for a moment, then opened her eyes and said to the Blood Hostess:

"Mistress, I know you want to help me, but this thing... After all, it's between me and Varian, and I'll figure it out. ”

"You?"

Aurelia glanced at Tiffany suspiciously, and she said:

"If I'm not mistaken, you've never been in combat training, and you don't know how to use the power of Sarein... With all due respect, you probably aren't the opponent of that little slut yet, so let's ask Shadow to draw out a few bloody maids who specialize in combat for you, you can not bully her, but I won't allow you to be bullied by her, understand? ”

Tiffany wanted to refuse, but looking at Aurelia's serious expression, she knew she couldn't refuse, so she nodded silently.

But in her heart, Queen Tiffany actually has her own plans... After all, she is a queen, and she actually knows more about the peachy transactions between the courts and the thoughts of those flattering women than the superficially powerful Aurelia, and for the struggle between women, she may be much more proficient in the women in the dark blade system...

Seriously, if Tiffany had been asked to deal with Nassa's affairs, there would not have been a messy shadow around Tyrion now, and the strong-looking Blood Lady Aurelia wouldn't have appeared... Actually, it's still too soft-hearted.

But, after all, this is a war between women and women... Observers don't need to pay too much attention, anyway, there is no shortage of women around every observer... Isn't it?

——————————

Today is the fourth day of the Delano Champions Cup, and the first day of the round of 32 to the round of 16, for those true gladiatorial fanatics, the Champions Cup is really starting today, before the game starts, the whole stadium is already full of people, this stadium is full of people, even the aisles are stained with spectators with various flags.

On the other side of the arena, the official betting booth of the Dark Blade Consortium was crowded with spectators who came to place bets.

Goblins are no strangers to gambling on this kind of tournament, and although gladiatorial tournaments in Azeroth have been around long before the War of the Ancients, it is the Goblins who really combine gladiatorial fighting and commerce in the Great Tournament of Gulabash in the Valley of Thorns, which is the most famous gladiatorial tournament in the entire eastern continent, and even after the establishment of the Commonwealth's rule, the tournament has not been suspended.

After the Darkblade Consortium took over the Gulabash Arena, Buddy, the death goblin. Moore has poured more energy into the tournament, and he has the heart to make it the most famous race in Azeroth, but so far, it still can't match the gold content of the Draenor Champions Cup.

But the commercial income of both... But it's completely reversed, and according to the calculations of the Darkblade Consortium, the commercial income of the monthly Gulabash Grand Tournament is more than 3 times the income of the biennial Champions Cup...

Therefore, in the eyes of the analysts of the Darkblade Consortium, the business process of the Gladiatorial Tournament in the World of Draenor is simply a tyrannical thing! So this year, the Darkblade Consortium has fully taken over the betting business of the Champions Cup, and now only 3 days have passed, and the money earned by these goblins has already stunned the officials of Shattrath City and the Kingdom of Tongtian Peak.

"I want to bet!"

At the gambling booth, a small man with a black hood squeezed in front of the stall with difficulty, and he took out a golden card and threw it in front of the goblin with a monocle, startling the well-informed goblin merchant.

This golden card was only made by the Darkblade Consortium last year, and each one represents a quota of 10,000 gold coins stored in the Treasure Bay Vault, and it is only issued to merchants and forces approved by the Consortium, so it can be said that the people who own this kind of card are real big people.

The goblin merchant did not dare to slack off, he hurriedly invited the chief officer of the place, it was a goblin in a red uniform, after confirming the authenticity of the card, he rubbed his hands, and asked in a warm and philistine tone:

"This young master, which team do you want to bet on? Would you like me to introduce you? The hottest favorites right now are the Shattered Sun Band, as well as the Death Row Prisoners in District 13, their fighting style is fierce and vicious, and it is very likely that..."

"I'm going to bet on the Black Ghost!"

Anduin deliberately lowered his voice to make himself sound more mature, that card contained all the pocket money he had saved since he was a child, not that the little prince wanted to make a lot of money in this way, he just wanted to invest this money to represent his support for the Black Ghost Warband!

And this choice also silenced the surrounding bettors for a moment, and then there was a burst of whispering.

Although the Black Ghost was very strong in the previous games, the real gladiatorial fanatics did not think that the Black Ghost could win the championship in one fell swoop, because the rest was a team competition, and the Black Ghost had fought in individual battles in the first few games, even if the human warrior was strong, it would be difficult for him to go to the end on his own, so in the handicap of the Dark Blade Consortium, the probability of the Black Ghost winning the championship is very low... Hardly anyone is going to spend a lot of money on them to win.

"Uh, do you want to think about it again? Little master. ”

The goblin supervisor couldn't bear the identity of the hooded kid in front of him, but it was impossible to return the money from the goblin pocket, so after repeated confirmation, the goblins placed a bet on Anduin.

Since there are very few people betting on the champion of the Black Ghost, according to the calculation of the goblin supervisor, once there is really a big upset, the return of 10,000 gold coins invested by Anduin will definitely be quite amazing... At least 25 times more.

But this was not the end of it, after Anduin in disguise left, several more masked girls crowded in front of the stall, and a girl with draenei horns pointed fiercely at the goblin merchant and asked:

"Which team did that little fool bet on just now? How much did you bet? ”

Goblins are reluctant to say because it is a trade secret.

But Dornan could also guess Anduin's choice, she discussed with several children behind her for a few minutes, and then with a wave of her hand, 9 golden cards were thrown in front of the goblin, Dornan learned from her previous posture in the casino of the Black Iron District, slapped the table, and shouted with great momentum:

"We stud!"

"Black Ghost! Win! ”
