Early the next morning, at dawn, Varian, carrying a battle helmet and wrapped in a tattered cloak, staggered into the entrance of the Black Ghost Chapter's camp. Broeddy had just gotten up and was about to eat something.
Bloodfist was the first to find his captain. The strong orc rushed forward and supported the weak Varian.
"Did you have a fight with Thunder Elephant?"
The orc looked at the blood stains on Varian's body in confusion. He knew very well how capable Varian was, but it was precisely because of this that Varian's embarrassing sight made him even more surprised.
"I had a fight last night..."
Varian turned his head and spat out bloody saliva, and he snorted:
"That's much harder to deal with than the Thunder Elephant. Go get me a glass of water and some food. Don't disturb the others... I need to take a rest."
As he spoke, the tired gladiator threw aside the tattered cloak behind him, and the war sword wrapped in it also fell to the ground. The orc picked up the war sword. This thing was not the black one that Varian often used.
The war sword is a bit heavy, has a gray appearance, has various scratches, and does not have a gorgeous hilt. It looks like a bad weapon made by a bad blacksmith.
But Blood Fist is also an experienced gladiator after all, and his knowledge of weapons is deeper than that of ordinary warriors. The orc stretched out his hand to flick the blade, put it to his ear and listened, then waved his wrist, amidst the roaring wind.
, this inconspicuous war sword easily chopped the wooden stake at the orc's feet, and the cut marks were smooth, fully demonstrating the sharpness of the sword.
"Tsk, tsk, it's really a good thing. Head, where did you find it?"
The orc marveled and put the sword in Varian's hand. The latter glanced at the sword. His gaze stayed for a few seconds, then turned his head, rubbing his sore muscles, and said softly:
"Oh, that..."
"I won it in a bet! I'll use that thing from now on."

"Mom, mom"
Anduin changed his clothes and followed the silent Queen Tiffany. While playing with the rough animal bone dagger in his hand, he asked his mother:
"Did you have a fight with Black Ghost yesterday? He said he knew my dad, do you know him?"
Tiffany, who has always been calm and gentle, seemed a little anxious today. Faced with her son's constant questioning, the human vampire rubbed her forehead and put down the things in her hands. She turned back and put her hands on her hips, looking at her precious son. She was stern.
said:
"You are not allowed to play with that liar anymore, you understand? He does know your father, but he...he is a bastard! He will lead you astray!"
Anduin is a good boy in the true sense. Seeing his mother rising, the little prince hurriedly hid the dagger in his hand. He looked at his mother timidly and retorted in a weak voice:
"But...but Black Ghost promised me that he would win the Champions Cup, and then take a few magic images with me with the championship belt...That was the birthday gift he promised to give me, I just...just wanted to
I heard some stories about my father from him, but I haven’t met him yet.”
"this..."
After hearing her son's words, Tiffany could no longer utter her original scolding. She knelt down, touched her son's hair, and then held her son in her arms. After a moment, she sighed:
"Okay, you can continue to play with him, but you must get Uncle Tyrion's permission, understand?"
"Okay!"
Anduin nodded happily. He knew that his uncle was the best to him, and his uncle usually would not refuse his request. After getting his mother's permission, Anduin quickly rushed out of the room. He wanted to finish today quickly.
I need to finish my homework so that I can go to Nagrand with Dornan and the others to watch the game... Well, there are still 40 minutes before the game starts, which should be enough to finish those homework.
Watching her son leave, Tiffany sat on the chair behind her somewhat uncomfortably. She stroked her wrist listlessly. There was a bunch of rough animal bone bracelets there. They were not as valuable as the jewelry she had paired with them, but they were
It was the first gift that person gave her after several years of absence.
And when she thought of the passion on the Nagrand grassland last night, Tiffany's cheeks turned red. She was a vampire, and it was not easy to make a vampire's cheeks turn red. She was born in a noble family since she was a child, and she had such a wild experience...
It's still the first time.
"Hey, look at my little Tiffany...what are you thinking about? I can feel that you are thinking about something very rude."
A teasing voice sounded behind Queen Tiffany, who was so startled that she almost jumped up from her chair. She looked back at Alleria with a playful look on her face, as if she was a child who had done something wrong and didn't know.
What to say.
Alleria approached Tiffany and sniffed slightly, as if she smelled something. She squinted her eyes and looked at Tiffany, who was blushing. She whispered in the queen's ear.
explain:
"Why does it smell like a strange man? Have you finally figured it out? Or... are we continuing our relationship?"
"I just...just..."
Tiffany wanted to retort anxiously, but the more anxious she became, the more speechless she became. Alleria saw her sister being so panicked. She covered her mouth and smiled lightly, then patted Tiffany on the shoulder.
:
"Okay, I'm just joking with you... I know how much you and Anduin miss Varian, and it's okay to be a little indulgent occasionally, but I want to remind you, Tiffany.
..Being too close to Sarain in a living person will cause certain damage to his body. I’m not asking you to abstain from sex, but don’t do it too often.”
This blunt reminder made the queen lower her head. Alleria looked at Tiffany. She sighed, a trace of sympathy flashed through her blood-red eyes. She took Tiffany's hand and said,
Pulling her towards the garden of the Dark Temple, she said as she walked:
"And if you want to renew your relationship, there is an issue that cannot be ignored. The woman beside Varian... Valila Sangunar, she has a deep love for Varian, and she is my compatriot.
, Tiffany, the high elf is extremely loyal to feelings, and her appearance is beautiful. Under her lingering offensive, it is difficult for men to resist, especially a man with a sensitive heart like Varian, so you
We must find a way to solve that "hidden danger"!"
The Blood Mistress seemed to have remembered something. She gritted her teeth and a cold light flashed in her eyes:
"To deal with such a little hooves, we have to be ruthless. If it is not convenient for you to come forward, I can let Shadow plan an operation and tie her to the Dark Temple, or even simpler... kill her directly! To avoid endless troubles.
!”
"No, no no no."
Tiffany hurriedly stopped Alleria who was about to try. She closed her eyes to calm down her emotions, then opened her eyes and said to the Blood Mistress:
"Mother, I know you want to help me, but this matter... is between me and Varian after all. I will find a way to solve it."
"you?"
Alleria glanced at Tiffany suspiciously and said:
"If I remember correctly, you have never participated in combat training. You have the power of Sarain but don't know how to use it... With all due respect, you are probably not a match for that little bitch. So, I
Let Shadow draw out a few blood maids who specialize in fighting for you. You don’t have to bully her, but I won’t allow you to be bullied by her, do you understand?”
Tiffany wanted to refuse, but looking at Alleria'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 has been a queen. Regarding the love affairs between the palaces and the thoughts of those flattering women, she is actually stronger than she appears.
Alleria knows better, and as for the struggle between women, she may be much more proficient than every woman in the Dark Blade system...
To be honest, if Tiffany had been asked to handle Nassa's matter, there would not be a messy shadow around Tyrion now. The seemingly strong Blood Matron Alleria... is actually too soft-hearted.
.
But, after all, this is a war between women... Observers don't need to pay too much attention. Anyway, there is no shortage of women around every observer... right?
——————————
Today is the fourth day of the Draenor Champions Cup, and it is also the first day of the top 32 to advance to the top 16. For those true gladiator fanatics, the exciting competition of the Champions Cup really begins today, before the game starts.
, the entire stadium was already filled with people. The stadium was packed to capacity, and even the aisles were filled with spectators holding various flags.
On the other side of the competition venue, the official betting booth of the Dark Blade Consortium was crowded with spectators who came to place bets.
Goblins are no strangers to gambling activities in such games. Although gladiatorial games in Azeroth have appeared long before the War of the Ancients, it was the goblins who truly combined gladiatorial combat with business in Stranglethorn Vale.
The Gurubashi Competition was the most famous gladiatorial competition in the entire eastern continent. Even after the Federation established its rule, the competition was not suspended.
After the Dark Blade Consortium took over the Gurubashi Arena, the death goblin Buddy Moore poured more energy into this major competitive game. He intended to make this game the most famous game in Azeroth, but so far
, it is still not as valuable as the Draenor Champions Cup.
But the commercial income of the two... is completely reversed. According to the calculations of the Dark Blade Consortium, the commercial income of the monthly Gurubashi Competition is three times the income of the Champions Cup every two years.
More to come...
Therefore, in the opinion of the analysts of the Dark Blade Consortium, the business process of the Gladiator Competition in the Draenor World is simply a waste of money! So this year, the Dark Blade Consortium fully took over the gaming business of the Champions Cup, and now only 3 days have passed.
The money earned by these goblins has stunned the officials of Shattrath City and the Kingdom of Tongtian Peak.
"I want to place a bet!"
At the gaming booth, a little man with a black hood squeezed to the booth with difficulty. He took out a golden card and threw it in front of the goblin wearing a monocle.
The member was startled.
This kind of golden card was produced by the Dark Blade Consortium only last year. Each one represents the amount of 10,000 gold coins stored in the Treasure Bay vault, and is only issued to businessmen and forces recognized by the consortium, so it can
It is said that people who have this kind of card are real big shots.
The goblin merchant did not dare to neglect, and he hurriedly invited the chief official here, who 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:
"Young Master, which team do you want to bet on? Do you want me to introduce it to you? The hottest favorites to win the championship right now are the Shattered Sun Battle Group and the Death Row Group from District 13. Their fighting style is vicious and vicious.
It's very likely that..."
"I want 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. It's not that the little prince wanted to make a lot of money in this way, he was just very simple.
I hope to invest this money to represent my support for the Black Ghost Chapter!
This choice also caused the surrounding punters to be silent for a moment, and then there was a burst of whispers.
Although Black Phantom performed very well in the previous games, real gladiatorial enthusiasts do not think that Black Phantom can win the championship in one fell swoop, because after that, there will be team competitions, and Black Phantom's first few games were all individual battles.
No matter how powerful the human warrior is, it will be difficult for him to reach the end by himself. Therefore, in the Black Blade Consortium's handicap, the probability of Black Phantom winning the championship is very low... almost no one will spend it.
The big money makes them win.
"Uh, do you want to think about it again? Young Master."
The goblin manager couldn't stand the identity of the hooded kid in front of him, but it was impossible to get the money back in the goblin's pocket, so after repeated confirmations, the goblins placed bets on Anduin's behalf.
Since few people bet on the Black Ghost champion, according to the calculations of the goblin manager, once a big upset happens, the return for Anduin's 10,000 gold coins will definitely be quite astonishing... at least 25 times more.
.
But this was not over yet. After Anduin in disguise left, several girls with their faces covered crowded in front of the stall. A girl with draenei horns pointed at the goblin merchant fiercely and asked
:
"Which team did that little idiot bet on just now? How much did he bet on?"
The goblin didn't want to say it because it was a business secret.
But Dornan could also guess Anduin's choice. She discussed it with the 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 to show off himself.
The same way Sister Minas used to be in the casino in the Black Iron District, she slapped her hand on the table and shouted with great momentum:
