In the afternoon, the headquarters of the Nolanclia Chamber of Commerce.

Friet von Klia is looking at the comptoir's most recent sales statement.

Ever since he had cooperated with a Chaos Demon named Qiao Xiu in business, under the power of 'advertising', his business capital had more than doubled compared to before!

This was enough to make him Nolan's most influential business guild.

Those missionaries in the Holy Religion did not deceive him, and it was indeed difficult to get cooperation with demons...... Denial of benefits.

"Lord Fleet, there is a merchant from the Iron Nation who wishes to see you, and he says he is the manager of the Silver Flower Firm."

An attendant walked into the study and handed it to Fritt with a badge.

"Silver Flowers? How did that old guy get to Nolan? ”

Fleet figured it out with the silver badge in his hand.

Although he is a native of the Iron Country, the commercial foundation of the Iron Country itself is not very strong, and he reluctantly established a branch of a trading house in the capital of the Iron Country with the patent of the magic guide car.

After all, when Fleet came to Nolan, he was just a self-made ordinary businessman, and he founded this business house after coming to Nolan.

This is not the case with the Silver Stripe Flower, a trading house that has been entrenched for many years in Orsenburg, the country of steel.

More than 10 years ago, when Fleet was still down, he had several encounters with the managers of this firm.

"Where is he?"

Fleet is in the right mood right now, and he's ready to show off his current accomplishments to those who used to be on the highs.

The attendant led Fleet to a room reserved for guests.

"York! You old guy haven't seen you lose a lot of weight in a long time. ”

Friet greeted him warmly after recognizing the steward of the silver flower sitting in the room.

"People will always change over time, let me introduce this Mr. Ettke, the eldest son of the Count of Cruz's family."

Yinwenhua's manager pointed to a young man sitting beside him.

"I didn't expect Orsenburg's future heir to patronize my small chamber of commerce." Fleet greeted the other with a commercial smile.

But the earl's son didn't seem to be in a good mood, and he glanced up and down at Frick and said what he meant.

"Mr. Frick, I'm here hoping to get information about my fiancée." The Earl's Son said impatiently, "I have heard that your Chamber of Commerce covers all of Nolan, and I hope you will help me find her whereabouts, her name is Dorothy, and she is characterized by her long burgundy hair and ...... eyes."

This is the so-called aristocratic style, Fleet sighed slightly, the young man in front of him didn't seem to know that he was also a nobleman of the Iron Country.

But the information provided by the earl's son quickly reminded Friet of a man!

Just a few hours ago, the caster's forums were almost entirely filled with posts about the 'Girl from the Iron Country', and Fritt had deliberately noticed that her name was Dorothy.

"I think I know where the person you're looking for is." Frit said.

"You know?!" He suddenly rose from his seat, as if the son of the count had been searching the city for a long time before coming to find Fleet.

As soon as Friet saw their astonishment, he understood that these 'nobles' who had just come from the Iron Country had not come into contact with the magic web.

He had once been likened to a 'redneck' by the managers of the Silver Flower Chamber of Commerce, but it seemed to Fritt that these fellows were no different from countrymen who knew nothing.

"Well, I remember that lady named Dorothy came to Nolan and participated in a competition." Fleet didn't want to deal with these rednecks.

"Competitions? Master Aitke, I said that Dorothy's kid must have come to Nolan to take the exams at the High School of Magic. ”

The manager of the Silver Flower Chamber of Commerce, who is also Dorothy's father, seems to have glorified his daughter's purpose for this escape as 'to achieve higher academic achievement'.

Coming to Nolan to study is an honor for spellcasters, and the fact that their children can enter any of Nolan's higher magic schools is something that any parent can be extremely proud of.

"No, Miss Dorothy's contest is not an entrance exam to the High School of Magic."

Unfortunately, Fritt quickly shattered the father's illusions.

His daughter was not as studious as he thought.

"This ......"

Just as the other party was silent, Fleet thought for a moment and remembered the name of the competition.

"Your daughter's tournament seems to be called Hearthstone's Nolan Open."

"Hearthstone? What is that? ”

Seeing their puzzled looks, Friet knew that it was impossible for these 'rednecks' who had just arrived in Nolan for a few days to hear Hearthstone.

"A card game." When Friet said the word 'game', Dorothy's father and the count's son changed their expressions in an instant.

The father's expression became a little panicked and incredulous, and the count's son's expression became a little gloomy.

"The card game that is very popular among the dwarves is basically played in the tavern, and I heard that there is a large part of the gambling and gambling elements in it."

At this point, Friet maliciously misled their impressions of Hearthstone.

The misdirection was apparently successful, and Dorothy's father was completely stunned, and his expression alone was like saying, 'How could my daughter do such a thing!' ’

The count's son slapped his fist on the wooden table beside him in some anger.

Taverns, dwarves, card games, gambles.

If these four elements are combined, people who don't know Hearthstone will definitely associate something bad.

There is no shortage of these underground casinos in the Iron Country, but they have always been synonymous with the vulgar and the lowly, and most of the women who appear in them are men who serve them.

In any case, it is not the place where a good lady should go.

"The venue of the game should be at the Higher School of Magic in Lursk, the game is not over yet, and it may not be too late if it passes now."

Everything that Fritt said was true, only they had false associations.

"Mr. Fleet, all you said was... Are you sure? Why is a game competition at the Higher School of Magic? ”

The manager of the Silver Flower Firm sensed that there was something strange in his words, so he didn't seem to believe it.

"This is the only information I can give you, and since I can't find it anywhere else, you can go to that academy, which is only three streets away." Frit said.

The earl's son gave no further reply, and immediately stood up and walked briskly outside.

Friet watched as the count's son left his trading house, and took a stick of tobacco from his jacket pocket and lit it.

After swallowing the smoke for a while, he came to a room in the comptoir with a television, which was already full of resting comptoir attendants and some of the guests outside the comptoir.

They're all here for that game, or for someone.

"Miss Dorothy has won again! The rest is the final! ”

There was an air of excitement throughout the lounge, and Fleet exhaled a puff of white smoke from his mouth as he looked at the red-haired girl on the TV.

"I'm a little envious that you old guy has a daughter who is so lucky." Fleet lamented.

……………………

Nolan Magic Arena.

The final showdown.

Dorothy couldn't believe she had come this far.

But the reality told her that as long as she won this whole game again, then she would be the champion of this Nolan Open! Arguably the strongest Hearthstone player in all of Nolan.

But in this decisive battle, Dorothy faced a very strong opponent.

Her gaze was on the other side's stone tower, which was standing on a dwarf with gray hair and beard.

Frost Axe ...... The Great Elder of the Dwarven Frostaxe Clan is also the current number one existence in the Hearthstone Tavern.

The cards he used alone, all of which were of the highest level of 'gold', were enough to give Dorothy an oppressive force.

Not only does he have the best card collection among all Hearthstone players in Nolan, but even his skills are terrifyingly strong.

The first game ended in Dorothy's defeat or fiasco!

Dorothy's 'Fire Demon Method' was defeated by the opponent with a roar almost without resistance.

"It's okay... There is still a chance. ”

Dorothy calmed down and chose the second set of hunters called 'T7'.

She doesn't know where the name comes from, but the core of this deck is to attack the opponent's heroes, killing the opponent's heroes in the least number of rounds possible, and the more you get to the later stages, the more unfavorable the situation becomes.

It was a risky move, but Dorothy's strategy clearly worked.

In the second game, Frostaxe chose a set of paladins that were slower.

When Dorothy takes control of her hunter hero, Lexa, and commands hordes of beasts to pounce on the paladin, the sign of victory once again appears on the field.

"Good fight!"

The paladin's illusion was half-wounded and half-kneeling, and he uttered the words of praise with the last of his strength before the illusion shattered into pieces.

"Thank you."

Hunter Lexa also paid tribute to his opponent.

Dorothy had to admit that her palms were all sweaty now, her arms were even slightly shaking, and her brain was a little dizzy, and she had never been so nervous in the two games just now!

The reason for the tension is that the final accounts for one part, and the other part is that the opponent is too strong.

"Little girl, are you alright?"

Frostaxe, who was standing on the other side, noticed Dorothy's anomaly and shouted at Dorothy in his own voice.

Dorothy forced a smile at the dwarf, then gave a thumbs up to indicate that there was no problem.

"You've beaten that guy from Black Rock! Don't fall down at this time! Frostaxe shouted again, "I don't want this fight to end so soon!" ”

Dorothy could feel the dwarf's enthusiasm, and she thought that after defeating a dwarven elder in the previous game, she would be held against this group of stereotypical dwarves.

But now it seems that these dwarves not only did not hold a grudge against her, as if she had also been recognized by the dwarves?

She banished the strange thoughts from her mind and began to focus on the game in front of her.

It was a close battle, with Dorothy coming back to win the game again with the Frost Axe.

Four games in a row ended in a draw.

The final victory was fixed in the final game!

According to the rules, the last deck left for both sides is also the strongest finale deck of Dorothy and Frostaxe!

"Let's go together."

Dorothy touched her hand to her card case, whispered, and chose the last deck.

An orc in heavy armor appeared on the battlefield, raising his hand and shouting as if to show Dorothy.

"No victory! I'd rather die! ”

On the side of the frost axe, a dwarf who was also dressed in heavy armor, this dwarf with a weapon in hand was ready to go into battle!

"For Kazmodan!" The dwarf shouted a name that Dorothy had never heard.

Dorothy had heard about the dwarf on the Spellcaster forum, and it was the only limited hero that only a handful of players in Hearthstone had.

He is also a warrior by profession, and it is said that in the background of the game, this dwarf is a great king, and he is also known as the king of blacksmiths.

"In the final game, both players chose the warrior class, let's use this game to witness the birth of the final winner!"

With the voice of the host, this duel between fighters and fighters began.

Dorothy glanced at the cards in her hand, and the deck she was using was currently the strongest deck in Hearthstone, Slave Wars.

The characteristic is that even if there is no entourage on the field, as long as the conditions in the hand are met, even if the opponent's hero is in a state of full blood, he can be killed directly!

Dorothy believed that the other side had chosen the same 'slave warfare'.

This will be a tragic fight to the death, and in the face of this harsh war, Dorothy chooses to 'turn a nail first'!

This stalemate continued until twelve rounds later.

Dorothy glanced at her hand, there was no retinue on the field, and her hero Garrosh was holding an axe called 'Frostbite'.

And she's been able to deal a whopping forty-seven damage with these hands.

However, the opposing hero's armor has 50 HP.

Dorothy couldn't wait any longer, and she looked at the other Black Iron Dwarf on the enemy field, the Dwarf named 'Thorrisen the Great', who was also the summoner of the Fire Demon King.

In the game, the Emperor's ability is to reduce the cost of all the cards in his hand by a little.

The Frostaxe summoned Thorrisen the Great in the last turn, so there's a good chance he's ready...... Get ready to slay Dorothy at full health.

In the end, Dorothy made the decision to 'take a gamble'!

That is to first unleash all the damage in your hand.

With this decision made, Dorothy threw all of her cards into the battlefield, and one powerful retinue after another appeared in front of Garrosh.

'Go ahead! ’

'It's going to be a fight! Count me in! ’

'My blade is hungry and thirsty! ’

‘ lor·tak·ogar！ ’

In the next second, the burly orc raised the giant axe in his hand and jumped into the air, accompanied by the sound of tearing the air, and slashed at the hero of the frost axe!

The blade of the axe slammed into the dwarven king's body, and the axe instantly shattered into pieces, and thousands of sharp shards erupted across the battlefield!

The shards stabbed all the creatures in the ring.

Blood began to splash around the ring, and when one of Dorothy's commands, the 'Terrible Slave Master', was stabbed by shards, another 'Horror Slave Master' with the same retinue appeared on the battlefield.

The two trolls named 'Berserker' standing next to him were covered in scarlet blood, and instead of weakening it, it sent it into a more violent state.

The two trolls let out a terrifying roar.

As the horror of slave owners has grown more and more on the battlefield, rivers of blood have flowed on the ground.

Dorothy could clearly smell the smell of blood in the air...... This is not a delusion!

When everything was ready, Dorothy gave the order to attack to her entourage.

The terrifying slave owners stepped forward and beat the dwarven king once, and the two berserkers let out a furious roar, raised their sharp blades and rushed towards the dwarven king, directly shattering the armor on the dwarven king's body.

The force sent the dwarven king flying out of the ring, slamming into the stone tower where the frostaxe stood, stirring up a cloud of dust.

There are also a lot of cracks on the stone tower.

Did you win?

In the face of such a fierce attack, if you don't look at the game screens, Dorothy may really think that she has won.

But the end result was just as Dorothy had predicted.

The Dwarven King had collapsed in the rubble, his body covered in shocking wounds, blood running down his body.

He stood up with his scarred body, and at the moment when it was the Frost Axe's turn, the Frost Axe also summoned his own 'army'!

“……”

Dorothy watched in amazement as her hero Garrosh was knocked to the ground by the Frostaxe's retinue, and the hero's life was instantly wiped out under the attack of the enemy's berserkers.

The bruised orc, who had fallen to the ground, was holding an axe and trying to stand up.

Don't... Is there any hope? Dorothy looked at the orc in the ring and couldn't help but shout for him not to fall.

But the reality is cruel, Garrosh did force himself to stand up with his bruised body, but the moment he straightened his waist, the figure also dissipated into pieces and dissipated in the ring.

Dorothy looked at the debris scattered in the sky, and the word failure on her own screen, her body seemed to have lost some support, and she fell to her knees weakly.

Deafening cheers were already heard all around, and the sky was once again falling petals, and they were celebrating the birth of the victor.

But these cheers did not belong to Dorothy.
