Crossing Azeroth, starting with the Heroes of Might and Magic system

Varian suddenly fell into the lake. He was caught off guard and drank two mouthfuls of lake water before he reacted. Then he paddled upwards with his hands and emerged from the water.

He looked up and saw the portal floating in the air, just above the surface of the lake.

The coordinates of this great wizard are not accurate. He actually summoned the exit of the portal on the lake. Is that so tricky?

Fortunately, it was not far from the shore. Varian swam to the shore and saw many small fish in the lake.

Fortunately it wasn’t a sharp-toothed fish, otherwise my butt would have been bitten to pieces.

Varian looked around and saw familiar scenes everywhere. He had indeed arrived in Mulgore in Kalimdor. This big lake should be the Stone Ox Lake in the central part of Mulgore.

The scenery of Mulgore is really nice, with green grass everywhere, a bit like the landscape of a grassland, but there are also some trees that grow very straight, a bit like pine trees.

On the surrounding grass, there are many chocobos that look like ostriches, some prairie wolves, and some kodo beasts.

Kodo is a common animal in Kalimdor. It is as big as a cow, has a horn on its nose, and is relatively docile.

Tauren like to tame kodo beasts and use them as mounts.

Fried kodo meat and kodo meat stew are common delicacies in Karim.

The griffin in the water also flapped its wings a few times, jumped to the shore, and kept shaking and swinging its feathers to shake off the water droplets.

Varian also wrung out his clothes, but they were still wet and uncomfortable, so Varian looked around and saw that there was no one around, so he took off his clothes and hung them on the branches of a big tree by the lake.

Wait for the wind to dry your clothes before you go.

Varian then jumped into Stone Bull Lake for a swim.

The scenery of Shiniu Lake is really nice, especially the location of Xueti Village in the game, which is surrounded by lakes on three sides and covered with green grass, making it convenient for swimming and fishing.

The water here is very clear, almost transparent, and you can see the bottom of the lake from the shore. There are many kinds of small fish in the lake, and these small fish are not afraid of people. When they see people swimming, they will come over.

Varian saw many large loaches at the bottom of the water.

It’s a pity that Varian didn’t bring a fishing rod, otherwise we could fish here!

In the game, Shiniu Lake is a very popular place for fishing players. You can catch 15-pound loaches and the rare fish "Fish That Didn't Run Away", which is a fishing achievement.

It is easier to complete this achievement in Shiniu Lake than in other places. Many players go to Shiniu Lake specifically to fish in order to complete this achievement.

After swimming for about an hour, Varian caught a fat loach and a big lobster, then skewered them with branches, picked up some branches on the shore, and grilled them, while drying his clothes at the same time.

After eating the barbecue and drying his clothes, Varian jumped on the griffin and flew towards the north. After flying for about a hundred kilometers, Varian saw four towering stone mountains.

These four stone mountains stand abruptly on the grassland. Each of them is hundreds of meters high and very steep, almost vertical.

To get to the top of Stone Mountain, you either have to ride a flying mount or take the elevator, otherwise you can't get up.

In the game, the Tauren connected four stone mountains with a suspension bridge, installed several elevators, and built the Tauren main city on the top of the mountain, called Thunder Bluff.

There are no railings in many places on this mountaintop city. In the past, when players were on the top of the mountain, if they were not careful, they would fall from the edge to the foot of the mountain, more than a hundred meters high, and die directly.

There were also some warlock players from the enemy camp who were guarding the top of the tower. When they saw the players from the Horde camp coming out of the elevator, they cast the "fear" magic on them.

Players who are under the spell will walk around randomly and may fall off a cliff and die if they are at the edge.

Just imagine that you just walked out of the elevator and then you were terrified and fell off a cliff and died. How infuriating that would be.

Having said that, it is indeed a good idea for the Minotaur to build a city on the top of this hundred-meter-high mountain. It is really easy to defend and difficult to attack.

However, at this time, there were no tauren in Mulgore, and there were no buildings on the tops of the four stone mountains.

Sorry, Tauren, first come, first served. Poor Tauren, Thunder Bluff will belong to me, Varian, from now on!

There are four stone mountains, the largest one is in the middle, and the other three are slightly smaller, distributed around the big stone mountain in the middle.

Varian decided to build a branch base on the largest stone mountain in the middle.

When dividing a base, you can now only choose one from the fortress race and the stronghold race.

The barrier race can recruit centaurs, dwarves, wood elves, Pegasus, Deadwood Guards, unicorns, and green dragons.

The stronghold race can recruit giant-eared monsters, wolf riders, orcs, ogres, eagles, cyclops, and behemoths.

There is no choice at all. I can only choose the barrier race. I can't choose ogres or orcs. It's not a tribe, at least not at this stage.

However, Varian is also quite satisfied with the Barrier Race. The second-level troops are dwarves!

This means that he can also have a team of dwarves, and maybe he can arrange for a dwarf team to participate in the struggles of other dwarves in the future.

There is also the unicorn, a very powerful fifth-level soldier. If you are poked by its horn, you may go blind.

Not to mention the green dragon, which can also be upgraded to a stronger golden dragon. In the world of Azeroth, its deterrent power is much greater than that of the ultimate hydra.

After looking at several locations, Varian finally decided to build a branch base next to a lake on the top of a mountain.

Varian began to activate the Heroes of Might and Magic Barrier System in his mind.

In Heroes of Might and Magic's barrier system, to build a sub-base, you also have to start from the Interior Department.

systems mannual:

The Home Office allows you to purchase town buildings and provides you with 1000 gold coins per day.

The prerequisites for constructing this building have been met.

Price: 2500 gold coins.

After Varian silently recited the word "build", he saw a flash of light in the open space in front of him, and a building instantly appeared on the top of the mountain in Thunder Bluff.

Varian was thrilled.

He looked carefully at the Ministry of the Interior in front of him. It was a wooden house with only one floor. It looked a bit like the Southeast Asian architectural style, with a pointed gable roof. The whole house was built of wood. It was a stilt house, and the bottom of the house was also built with wood.

Varian walked into the lobby of the Ministry of the Interior and felt that the wooden building was quite exquisite. It was warm in winter and cool in summer. It should be a good feeling to work in it.

Since the entire branch base would be built on the top of the mountain in Thunder Bluff, Varian began to confirm whether there was enough water.

There is a lake on the top of the largest stone mountain, which can be used as part of the water source, but it doesn’t seem to be enough.
