Filas, a rare forest covered area in South Kalimdor, is located in the middle of the desolate land infested by centaurs and the thousand needle Stone Forest currently occupied by the terrible totem Tauren. Further south of Filas, there is the great heath desert. Of course, between the two, there is a magnificent mountain range, In the middle of that mysterious mountain range, there are some rare terrain.
Dick at least knows that there are some toviers in that place. Who knows how they cross the mountains to get there? But there is a tovier town in the game, and there is a boss who drops a rare mount. Of course, there is no such thing in the real world. Even if it exists, it is not worth making Dick travel thousands of miles.
After resigning from the Earl of the north and other worldly titles, Dick finally felt relaxed. He walked briskly in the quiet forest of Filas with his lovers and followers, carrying weapons and large parcels of Darth the Dragon man, and always with Darth, but also like to quarrel with the green dragon demitil, Moam, the Obsidian Destroyer who was used by Gianna as a mount, was sitting on the back of the kodo beast full of goods. She was reading a book with relish. Finally, she was the werewolf girl she had not seen for a long time.
Willard is now in the form of a night elf. She sits on the back of the White Wolf harryken and turns into a little bright adult with wings. She sits on Willard's shoulder and tastes the fruit in her hand with her legs up. From time to time, she grunts with satisfaction.
In this strange group, there was a stranger. He was riding on a white ground bird decorated with various kinds of jewels, holding a golden lyre in his hand. With his eyes slightly closed, he played on the string with one hand, and beautiful music came out of it.
It's like the hidden bards, and this guy looks like the most orthodox bards.
It is Kell SARS, who has played a little trick on the sun king. He gave all his government affairs to his own ministers. He left a letter and followed Dick to the South Kalimdor. According to him, he wanted to regain his passion for traveling in the world. According to Dick's thought, this guy was just too idle.
The country established by the elders is always in good order. Unless there is a big event such as the invasion of the dead, the king is often just a symbol, just like Tyrande. The priestess of the moon doesn't manage the political affairs of kadore very much. She spends most of the day in the temple of the moon communicating with Elune.
Generally speaking, it has something to do with the laziness they develop over a long period of time.
At the end of the song, kelsas put away his lyre. He moved his shoulders, took a deep breath of fresh air, and then looked at Dick,
"Are you sure you can hide that from the sentinels of Cadore? I can feel that there are no less than seven sentries following us
When he said this, the sun king looked back at the forest without any abnormality and said,
"Well, it's nine now."
Dick, with his pipe in his mouth, shook his head. His dull voice rang out in the smoke,
"I don't want to hide those kadores. They have been operating here for 7000 years, and general Sandys Yuyue, it's said that they are Tyrande's adopted daughter, the real hero who survived the ancient war, and one of the strongest hunters in the world. It's impossible to hide them here."
"But I'm here to take part in the hammer of doom Gladiator contest. It's a great event of the dark world. Do they even want to stop it?"
"Wait, you mean the Gladiator contest?"
Kelsas's face flashed an expression of interest. "It sounds interesting. In Dalaran's years, I heard that there were established gladiators in Outland, mostly orcs. They were pursuing blood and glory for a short time. How, did Azeroth also have these bloody competitions?"
"Bloody? No, that's not bloody. "
Dick shrugged, looked back at Darth, who was quarreling with demitil, and cried,
"Hi, Darth, here you have participated in the Gladiator contest. Let's introduce you to the sun king."
When the Dragon man hears Dick's cry, he curls his mouth to Demi. He doesn't go to Dick's side, but he shouts in the line,
"I participated in the bramble Valley Gladiator competition. In the gulabashi arena, I won three consecutive championships in those years. They all called me" Ripper ". That was a glorious time. However, the gulabashi arena is not a real Gladiator competition. It's organized by goblins to cheat money. There are only three real Gladiator competitions. The hammer and ring of blood in Outland, and the hammer of bad luck in Filas are the real golden gladiators competitions. "
Most of the people in the dark world except Darth didn't know about these things. These anecdotes soon aroused the interest of others. Even lyadeline put down her books and watched Darth's chatter curiously.
"But even so, the gulabashi arena can attract many real gladiators every year, which is competitive and ornamental. The winning team can get at least 5W gold coins and many eye-catching rewards, but every year, that arena can bring at least 30W or more income to the goblins. Bah, those unscrupulous merchants!"
Darth probably thought of the bad experience and couldn't help scolding, but soon introduced the information of the Gladiator contest to others.
"However, the really powerful gladiators don't like the gulabash arena, which is a place where they sell dog meat with sheep's head. They usually spend all their energy on the three Gladiator competitions. The bloody mallet and the bloody ring arena have league matches once a year. However, it's said that the place is controlled by the slave owners of orcs and ogres, and it's hard for foreigners to get ahead, The hammer of doom once every two years is different. It's probably the custom brought about by the orc invasion more than 20 years ago. The hammer of doom participates in a variety of gladiators. I even heard that there are some dragon people who practice their skills and imprisoned demons. It's really fair, and the rewards and glory for winning are beyond imagination. "
At this point, the Dragon man pursed his lips, and there was a trace of yearning in his eyes, he said,
"It's hard for those of us in the light world to imagine the glory of the champion of the hammer of doom Gladiator competition. There is no king in the dark world, but if we have to choose one, on the closing day of the hammer of doom every two years, the person standing at the top is the king in all hearts, because he is the strongest! The real best! It's so strong that everyone is convinced. Moreover, the Gladiator competition of the hammer of doom is very cruel. From the first session to now, almost no one can win in a row. This is why the Gladiator competition of the hammer of doom is becoming more and more popular. It's cruel and fair. "
Darth looked at the faces of the people around him and said,
"Don't believe it. Do you know why the assassin League has become more and more powerful in recent years? It's because from the beginning of the first section of the doom hammer Gladiator competition to now, it's the only force that can win the top three seats for 10 consecutive times, and it has won two times, which proves their strength. There are not so many rules in the dark world. The strong is the king, and frankly speaking. "
The Dragon man took a look at the thoughtful Sun King,
"Frankly speaking, even if our strongest sun king is thrown into the arena, he may not be able to win the championship. The world is very big. If not, he will jump to a blockbuster. It seems that there is a famous family in the dark world in Quel'Thalas elves. Sangunar, have you heard?"
This question made kelsas frown,
"Sangunarchin is very loyal to the sun chaser family, but to tell you the truth, I really don't know that they are still connected with the dark world. The rulers of Quel'Thalas don't care much about the family affairs of their ministers, as long as they don't affect the operation of the country, what they like to do is their own business. And as far as the contest is concerned, I don't think my people are interested in it. "
"It's hard to say, sire."
Darth rubbed his hands with a smile, showing an extremely philistine expression. "Sometimes, in order to attract more gladiators, those slave owners will take out a lot of strange and precious things, especially for a mage like you, many rare things will appear in the prizes of the competition, and there is another reason why the hammer of doom is famous, The winner can take everything from the loser unconditionally. Life is just the most basic thing. If a strong man like you has enemies, I think the hammer of doom is a good arena. "
When kelsas heard this, he just laughed and shook his hand. When it comes to wealth, he can almost be proud of all the people in Azeroth. When it comes to hatred, the Sun King rubbed his chin and sighed with regret. It is estimated that Alsace will not come to participate in this contest.
Otherwise, he doesn't mind ending up with Alsace on the battlefield where the winner owns everything and the loser loses everything.
But the Sun King soon reflected that he looked at dick with strange eyes,
"Well, you just said you were going to take part in the Gladiator contest. In your present situation, are you really going to take part in the next contest?"
Dick was stunned for a moment, then lost his smile,
"Of course not. Although I have two invitation letters in my hand, I know my own situation very well. We can be an audience. When the competition is over, we can go to the inside of the hammer of doom to find the sindera elves. The place is full of fish and dragons. Even if shantis Yuyue comes, it's hard to find our trace."
"Wait!"
When Darth heard Dick's words, he called out in a hurry and let everyone's eyes focus on him. The Dragon man's expression became solemn,
"My Lord, if you really have an invitation letter in your hand, and it's still a Gladiator's invitation letter, you may have to be careful. According to the regulations of the hammer of doom, even if you don't participate in the competition, you will be regarded as a gladiator as long as you are present. Generally speaking, you are not allowed to challenge this kind of gladiator who has no intention to fight. You can also choose to refuse to face the challenge, but it's hard to say whether there is a conspiracy, If there is, you are likely to be forced to play under certain circumstances
Darth's voice fell to the ground, and Dick's relaxed expression became serious. He didn't believe in coincidence, so he was sure that this time's Gladiator contest would not be too calm.
The paladin rubbed his teeth. This feeling of being surrounded by conspiracy would not be very good. However, when he looked at kelsas, who began to bask in the sun, he couldn't help laughing,
"Then, your Majesty the sun king, are you interested in forming a team with me?"
On the other hand, while Dick and others are slowly marching towards the hammer of doom, Andu, who has entered the arena of the hammer of doom behind Lao Chen, looks at everything around him curiously. There are people everywhere!
It's no exaggeration to say that the guys with different costumes and races are not good people. They set up camp in twos and threes in this specially leveled area, and there are goblin merchants pushing cars to sell all kinds of things nearby. The bustling crowd makes this place look full of strange vitality.
It also makes Anduin and Madian around him have a kind of real fun of exploration. It seems that the two guys don't have enough eyes, and the decorations on their bodies make them the targets of many three hands. However, with Mr. Chen, all these guys are holding their wrists, humming or whining away.
Until this strange group came to their camp, Anduin looked back with great feeling. A tall, black haired human Gladiator with double swords had just turned into the opposite corner, and he was followed by a slender high elf.
Anduin couldn't help shouting at the familiar figure,
"Father
"What?"
Old Chen looked back at Anduin, who scratched his head and said with embarrassment, "nothing, Uncle Chen, I just saw... A man is very like my father."
Madian chuckled and pushed Anduin. "Come on, little Anduin. Your majesty Varian is in Stormwind now. He won't come to such a place. You must be blinded."
Anduin also felt that he was dazzled. According to his father's current character, he would never come to this place. So the little prince sighed and followed old Chen into the tent. But the next moment, ragosh's figure flashed out of the corner. Valera looked curiously at the gladiators on the left and right, and asked softly,
"What are you looking for?"
"Er... It's nothing. I just... Just feel that there are very special people here just now, just over there, like... Like people connected with my blood. Maybe I think too much. Let's go, Valera. Let's go to find leiga. It's time to sign up."
