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

After listening to Varian's proposal, Ryan fell into deep thought again, calculating silently in his mind.

The mine in Yuexi Town only generates 60,000 to 80,000 gold coins per year, which is an average of 70,000 gold coins per year. Buying ten fishing boats requires 200,000 gold coins. If we exchange them, it is equivalent to collecting three years of income at once, and there will be 20,000 gold coins in taxes every year. In addition, the ten fishing boats will generate income very quickly, so it is a good deal no matter how you calculate it.

Seafood products are currently very popular and the profits of each fishing boat are huge, which makes it hard not to be tempted.

"I agree!" King Ryan was a shrewd man. With such huge benefits, there was no reason not to do it, so he made the decision on the spot.

Varian was even happier. After all, it only cost 2000 gold coins and a little wood to buy a fishing boat from the system dock. The gold coins needed for ten fishing boats were only gold coins. Exchanging them for such a famous gold mine in Yuexi Town was a huge profit.

Moreover, the Moonbrook Mine is just a gold mine to others, but to Varian, it is a gold mine + stone mine.

More importantly, if he could operate the Yuexi Town mine himself, he could build a more secretive and secure base.

After discussion, the two men agreed that five fishing boats would be delivered first, and the other five would be delivered a month later. The Yuexi Town mine would be handed over to Varian tomorrow.

After the father and son reached an agreement on the deal, they were in a very good mood. Varian invited King Llane and Sir Lothar to the restaurant at the dock to taste the specialties of the Western Wilds.

The specialties of the western plains are mainly liver pie, miscellaneous meat stew, and coyote steak, but now there are also a lot of seafood and crabs.

While eating in the restaurant, Lothar saw many murlocs in the restaurant and asked in confusion: What do these murlocs do?

Varian explained: "These are the murlocs from the long beach on the coast. Now they are all crab fishermen. Most of the crabs sold in Stormwind are caught by them."

"You are so amazing. You conquered all the fish people." said Lothar.

"Don't underestimate the murlocs. They are much more efficient at catching crabs than humans. And after they exchange the crabs for gold coins, they eat and drink here, and basically pay back the gold coins," said Varian.

After hearing this, Llane and Lothar found it a little unbelievable. In their eyes, the murlocs were a mentally retarded and inferior race, but they did not expect that they were used as labor by Varian.

"By the way, father, I would like to ask you to arrange two mages who can open portals to assist me. As you can see, I have to send a large amount of seafood to Stormwind City every day, and it would be impossible without a portal." Varian almost forgot today's business and said hurriedly.

"Haha, that's no problem. I'll arrange it for you when we get back to Stormwind." It was a small matter, and Ryan agreed without hesitation.

"Thank you father!"

The next day, after Varian took over the Moonbrook Mine, he gave the miners a day off.

Then Varian went into the mine alone to investigate.

The mine is a bit dark, but the air doesn't feel stuffy because the space inside the mine is particularly large and interconnected.

Varian walked deeper and deeper, and every time he found a small mine or an abandoned mine, he would go over to see if there were any stones, gold nuggets or gold sand. As long as he found any, he would put them directly into the system.

Abandoned gravel, which is useless garbage to others, is precious stone to Varian.

Gold can only be collected after it has been mined, otherwise Varian will empty the gold mine in one go.

Normally, when miners dig, most of the gold is taken away directly after it is dug out, so not much lost gold is found in the mine.

Instead, there were a lot of large pieces of stone and discarded gravel. There were several abandoned mines full of discarded gravel. Some large mines contained hundreds of cubic meters of gravel, which were all taken away by Varian.

He kept going and collecting gold as he went. When Varian reached the end of the mine, he had collected enough gold to recharge three thousand gold coins in the system, and the stone increased by seven thousand units.

With such a huge amount of stone, we should be able to achieve stone freedom, right?

At this time, the mine had not been fully excavated. At the end was a huge space, like a circular hall, about twenty to thirty meters high and forty to fifty meters wide. Varian remembered that this should be the location of the fourth boss of the Death Mine, the goblin Kilnig, about two-thirds of the way into the mine.

In other words, if you dig one-third further, you will reach the end of the mine, which is an extremely huge space with a large lake. If you continue to dig forward when you reach the lake, you can connect the lake with the sea and lead to the Savage Coast of Stranglethorn Vale.

In the original book, the leader of the Defias Brotherhood, Edwin VanCleef, has opened up the Great Lake and the Savage Coast, and built a huge door at the exit.

He secretly built a huge gunboat, the Dreadnought, in the lake, intending to sail through the Savage Coast and bombard Stormwind's port.

Varian had seen the Savage Coast behind. There were crocodiles in the water. There was a small island not far from the exit. Going further, there was a tropical rain forest full of trolls.

The entire Death Mine is very well designed, with three passages.

One leads to Moonbrook Town, which is the entrance to the mines;

A waterway leads to the coast of Stranglethorn Vale, and there is a dock, which is hidden in the mine, secret and safe;

There is also a mine tunnel that leads to the coast of the western wilderness, which is on the other side of the dock. This mine tunnel is called the Death Mine Exit. In the past, players usually exited the dungeon from here after defeating Edwin Van Cleavely.

The design of the Deathmines is perfect. It connects the two coasts and Moonbrook Town. It is very secretive and safe. Varian decided to continue digging according to this plan.

After all the excavations were completed, Varian would build a dock at the lake, and then form a fleet to go fishing and catch crocodiles near the Savage Coast.

The final boss of Moonbrook Mines, Prince of Stormwind and Highlord of Daggerridge Varian Wrynn, is determined to build his old nest, Moonbrook Mines, into a more perfect one. The interior decoration standards must be built according to those of Ironforge and Gnomeregan.

After resuming work the next day, Varian found the miners and asked them to focus on digging in the direction of the lake, trying to enter the space of the lake as soon as possible and start construction.

In addition, a small team of miners was arranged to dig in the direction of the dock lighthouse to open up the previous copy exit.

Then a small team of miners was arranged to cooperate with the construction team of Yuexi Town to survey the location and find a suitable position to connect the mine with the Dagger Ridge Valley.

Varian's idea was to connect the mine and the Daggerridge Valley, preferably with the exit near the Daggerridge Castle, and then install an elevator. When he came out of the castle, he could take the elevator into the Deathmines without having to enter from the entrance of Moonbrook Town.

Turn the Deadmines into the Daggerridge Fortress dungeon.

This will greatly facilitate the miners' consumption in Dagger Ridge and will also facilitate the construction of the Death Mine in the future.
