"Varian, I'll make you some more milk tea."

"Okay."

After Varian nodded, Claudia slipped out of Varian's arms a little shyly, and walked aside again to make milk tea with hot water and milk.

While the girl was busy, Varian continued to think about the details of perfecting the trade plan, he carefully recalled the three days of recuperation in the Night Elf camp, and also noticed a lot of daily details that he had overlooked, which confirmed the abundance of supplies for the Night Elves, in this case, the probability of trade negotiations being completed is very high.

It's getting late today, and the trade matter will be discussed with the military minister tomorrow, and if feasible, it will be arranged as soon as possible, and the generals must also know about the Brotherhood of Defia and the rebels.

Varian thought as he picked up the letter for help, and when he saw the name Edwin Van Cleeff, a painful memory flashed through his mind, and Varian's anger flared up uncontrollably again.

This damned, resentful stonemason!

Varian gritted his teeth and thought, before he knew it, his face became fierce again with the burning of anger, his heartbeat suddenly accelerated, his muscles burst out, and his muscles became like steel with the infusion of anger, and before he knew it, the thick oak cup in his hand made a clicking sound and was crumpled into pieces by him, but he didn't realize it, and subconsciously continued to clench his fists, and many small sawdust slipped down from his fingers.

"Varian! Varian! ”

Varian shook suddenly, raised his head, and found Claudia calling his name worriedly, the girl saw that Varian's eyes had returned to normal, looked at Varian's left hand, and said softly, "What's wrong with you?" It scared me a little bit to be honest just now. ”

What's wrong with me?

Varian looked at the girl's eyes, the wooden cup in his left hand had been shattered, and the iron hoop had been completely twisted and deformed, thinking carefully about what had just happened, he immediately had a cold sweat on his back, and he was a little afraid, what would happen if he was holding something else instead of the cup in his hand just now.

"That's a blessing, it's a curse, your strength will get stronger, but you'll also become more irritable, and even in your rage you'll do things that you'll regret for the rest of your life."

Medivan's warning before leaving sounded in Varian's ears again, and Varian understood the true meaning of Medivan's curse, although he was also more irritable before, but most of the time he could effectively control his anger, especially in the last two years, as he grew older and more experienced, he would not be completely angry, but he almost lost control twice in a short period of time tonight.

"I'm sorry, Claudia." Varian solemnly apologized, "I lost my mind just now, and the next time I encounter this situation, I will have to trouble you to use the Tranquilization Technique to calm my mind in time." ”

"Tranquility?" Claudia, who was cleaning up the scraps of her cup, stopped what she was doing, sat down next to Varian again, and asked, "Can you elaborate on what happened?" ”

After Varian recounted the blessing and Medivan's warning, the maiden comforted him, "It's okay, I'll help you find a way to ask the Silver Hand when I get back, it may have a way to help you control your anger." ”

Varian had always found the artifact a little strange, but he didn't have an artifact and didn't know what other artifacts were, so he nodded, "It would be best if it had a way, but I'll have to find a way to suppress my anger myself." ”

"But Varian, why would Van Cleve provoke you so easily?" Claudia asked another question, wondering what level of stimulation was going to make Varian lose her mind.

Varian was silent when he heard this, and only after a long time did he say gloomily, "Anduin's mother died at the hands of that stonemason. ”

"What?" The girl exclaimed, "Didn't you say that Queen Tiffin died in an accident?" ”

"It's Van Cleef's hand......."

It is only in Varian's account that Claudia learns the truth about Tiffin's death and his feud with Van Cleef.

Fourteen years ago, Stormwind was reclaimed, and the work of rebuilding Stormwind was entrusted to Van Cleef, the president of the Stonemasons' Guild, and after nearly a decade of hard work by the stonemasons, the new Stormwind City was built, and everyone was amazed by the majesty of the new city, but when the city was completed, problems arose, and the noble council refused to pay for it.

There was a reason for the refusal to pay the remuneration, and the psychological price gap between Van Cleeff and the noble council was too great, and Van Cleef insisted that each ordinary worker be paid sixty gold coins, while the noble council was willing to give a maximum of one-sixth of this figure, that is, ten gold coins, and the two sides could not agree.

"Sixty gold coins is a bit too much, and ten gold coins is too little."

Claudia thought to herself when she heard this, you must know that the purchasing power of gold coins is very strong, and the waiter of the Lion King's Pride Hotel only has nine silver coins for a month, and one gold coin is enough for an ordinary person to live for a year, so Van Cleef's asking price is too high, but the noble council does give too little, the status of the stonemason is very high, and after ten years of hard physical labor, he finally gets a little more money than the waiter, which is unacceptable to anyone.

Varian continued to tell what was going on, when Varian was not in Stormwind, but enjoying the idyllic scenery with Tiffin in the Arian family's estate, and when the news broke, Tiffin suggested that the two parties should mediate the conflict and give both parties a reasonable price, such as thirty or forty gold coins per stonemason, and Varian agreed to this solution.

But when the two returned to Stormwind City to mediate the conflict, an accident occurred, Van Cleef led a large number of workers to gather at the door of the noble council, declaring that if they did not get their due payment, they would not leave, and the noble council reacted fiercely, directly declaring that the stonemasons' act of besieging the nobles' council was illegal, announcing that the stonemasons would dissolve the council and sending troops to forcibly drive the workers away.

Angry workers go to the palace instead to ask for an explanation from the king, who had promised to mediate, and when Varian and Tiffin try to appease the workers, the guards and stonemasons fight first, and in the confusion, a flying stone hits Tiffin in the head, killing him instantly.

Hearing this, the girl nervously asked, "Was it the stone thrown by Van Cleve?" ”

"It must be him!" Speaking of this, Varian's tone became angry again, "I later asked MI7 to check, and he is the only one present who has this motive and strength!" ”

The girl didn't know what to say for a while, but she took Varian's big hand with both hands and soothed him, who calmed down a little and continued.

Tiffin's death made the conflict completely unabated, the stonemasons escaped from Stormwind City, and established the Brotherhood of Defia in the Wild West under the organization of Van Cleef, and over the years they have committed all kinds of robbery, kidnapping, assassination, and even Prince Anduin was almost assassinated by the Brotherhood of Defia when he was three years old, and this time he took advantage of Varian to lead the army to cause such a big mess.

Although Varian hated Van Cleeff and Defia, the thieves never confronted the army head-on, and the regular army disappeared as soon as the thieves arrived, so he didn't have much to do with the Defia Brotherhood.

In the end, Varian said a little helplessly: "It seems that after going back this time, we have to continue to increase the investment in MI7, even if we can't find out where Defia's lair is, at least they can't make such a big mess this time in the future." ”

Varian had nothing to do with the Brotherhood for so many years, and Claudia couldn't do anything about it, after hearing about the whole thing, she had a very bad impression of both the Noble Council and Van Cleef, and she also had a bit of an inexplicable feeling of tightness in her chest, but she still suppressed her emotions and softly reassured Varian a few words before leaving.

After returning to her room, the first thing she did was naturally to ask the Silver Hand for a way to control her anger, and to her surprise, the Silver Hand actually said that there was nothing she could do about it, and the girl was slightly disappointed: "I thought that controlling anger was very simple. ”

"This problem is simple and simple, difficult to say, and the key to solving the problem is not the size of the strength, even if the strength is as strong as the Titan Guardian, it will be swallowed by negative emotions, and weak as ordinary people without strength can also defeat the demons with their own reason. And I can't help it, but you should be able to help. ”

"Can I? Tranquility? ”

"No, I said it's not about power, you can use your spells to suppress it briefly, but that's not the point. Since the anger in his heart is a negative emotion, you can also increase the positive emotions in his heart, such as joy, hope, and love, which will help him overcome his negative emotions. ”

Claudia's words of wisdom suddenly dawned on Claudia, and the girl thanked from the bottom of her heart, "I know what to do, thank you, Silver Hand." ”

"You're welcome, let's talk about the Titan Word......."
