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

After putting the Water God Boots he bought into his bag, Varian left the treasure shop.

After visiting the treasure shop, Varian felt as if he had visited a luxury goods store in his previous life and liked something but had no money to buy it.

This is just an ordinary treasure, which is already very expensive, costing tens or even twenty thousand gold coins. If a top-quality treasure is really refreshed in the later stage, I don’t know how much it will cost.

This made Varian feel urgent about money. What if some magical artifact really appeared in the treasure shop some month, but it would be meaningless if he had no money to buy it.

Where can I get the money? Varian thought again and again, and the only way to make money quickly is to do business.

Suddenly I thought of the dwarves. The Kingdom of Ironforge is the closest country to the Kingdom of Stormwind.

Yes! Dwarves, dwarves are rich. They have hundreds or thousands of years of savings, and they have a lot of ores. We have to find a way to make money from the dwarves. We can sell seafood. Ironforge doesn't have a port, let alone fishing boats. Seafood is a rare thing in the dwarves' place.

You know, there is no Menethil Harbor in the wetlands now. It was built after the outbreak of the Orc War. So the dwarves must not have much seafood.

Originally, there were few fruits and vegetables in Ironforge, but both Stormwind Kingdom and Stromgarde Kingdom had caravans trading with the dwarves, so there was no need to do the fruit and vegetable business.

In addition to seafood, Varian can also sell griffins.

As far as Varian knew, not all dwarves had gryphons.

The dwarves are divided into three tribes.

More than two hundred years ago, the dwarves lived in Ironforge, and then gradually split into three tribes, which were peaceful at first.

After the death of Modimus Anvilmar, the High King, a violent civil war broke out among the dwarves for control of Ironforge.

In the end, the most powerful Bronzebeard tribe drove the Wildhammer and Dark Iron tribes out of Ironforge, won the war, and the dwarves were divided from then on.

After being driven out of the Dun Morogh Mountains, the Wildhammer tribe built their own city on the top of Grim Batol. Later, they joined forces with the Bronzebeard tribe to fight against the Dark Iron Dwarves. Grim Batol was also attacked by the Dark Iron Dwarves and became uninhabitable. The Wildhammer tribe finally went north and settled in the densely forested Hinterlands. They found griffins in the Hinterlands and became friends with them.

After the dwarves of the Dark Iron Tribe were expelled from Dun Morogh, they went to Blackrock Mountain. Later, for the sake of war, they summoned Ragnaros, the ancient elemental lord of the Firelords, but were enslaved by him in Blackrock Spire.

Therefore, now only the Wildhammer dwarves in the Hinterlands Forest in the north have griffins. The Bronzebeard dwarves in Ironforge and the Dark Iron dwarves in Blackrock Mountain do not have griffins.

Perhaps he could sell some griffons to Ironforge? The more Varian thought about it, the more feasible it seemed.

Now the Griffin Tower can produce fourteen griffins per week, and the Griffin Castle can produce three griffins per week, for a total of seventeen, and a total of sixty-eight griffins per month.

If necessary, you can build a Griffin Tower.

Each griffin could be sold for several thousand gold coins. If a few dozen were sold, wouldn't that mean an income of more than 100,000 gold coins? With the financial resources of the dwarves, it was no problem at all.

Moreover, strengthening the Dwarf Kingdom will also be helpful in the future war against Orcs, right?

Since it's already been sold, shouldn't other human kingdoms be sold? The Kingdom of Stromgarde will want it, the Kingdom of Alterac will want it, and the Kingdom of Lordaeron should all be interested.

Even the Wildhammer dwarves of the Hinterlands can sell griffins, but the dwarven griffins are not as good as the royal griffins of the system, and the fertility rate of griffins is too low. Even if the Wildhammer dwarves want to sell them, there are not many to sell.

Thinking of this, Varian could no longer sit still, and immediately summoned twenty griffin knights, including himself, a total of twenty-one griffin knights, went to the dock, and loaded a pile of various sea fish, crabs, shellfish and pearls.

After packing the seafood samples, Varian used the magic of the time and space gate to teleport the griffin knight troops back to Stormwind City.

Varian asked the griffin troops to wait there, and then he quickly ran home. His father Llane was not at home, so Varian took away two barrels of wine that were treasured at home.

These two barrels of wine were specially brewed from the finest grapes from the North County Valley. The annual output was extremely small and generally not circulated on the market. They were exclusively for the enjoyment of nobles and the king.

After Varian took the wine, he ordered the griffin troops to take off immediately and fly towards Ironforge.

As the griffin slowly rose into the air, Stormwind City below gradually became smaller, and the scenery of Elwynn Forest in the distance appeared before their eyes.

Looking from a high vantage point, the Elwynn Forest is lush and green, and the scenery is quite nice.

Griffins fly much faster than riding horses. At night, the large army entered the dwarf territory of Dun Morogh.

A normal Stormwind caravan would take nearly a week to travel from Stormwind to Ironforge, and that's for a relatively fast team, not to mention the slower ones.

At that time, Stormwind and Ironforge were not connected by a subway. The subway between Stormwind and Ironforge was built by dwarves and gnomes after the Orc Wars when the dwarves joined the Alliance in order to speed up the assistance to Stormwind.

Due to its high altitude, the entire Dun Morogh is covered in snow all year round. It is a world of ice and snow.

It would take about a day to fly from the edge of Dun Morogh to Ironforge. It was already late at night and there was no need to rush to continue flying. Varian decided to stay in the wild for one night.

Varian observed and found that they had arrived at Coldridge Valley. He vaguely remembered that this was the birthplace of the dwarves in the game. There should be a camp called Anvilmar not far away.

They could have gone to that camp to rest, but after thinking it over, Varian decided not to go and instead found a place surrounded by mountains on three sides to set up camp.

After setting up camp, Varian arranged for the griffin riders to barbecue and took out a lot of meat from their backpacks and distributed pies.

Camping and barbecuing in the snowy mountains is a unique experience.

The next morning, after washing up and eating some liver pie, Varian continued his flight.

On the way of flying, we saw many wild beasts, such as ice claw bears, winter wolves, and cliff boars. If it were a horse-riding army, we would probably have to stop and catch a lot of them, but there was no need to do so while flying.

In the evening, we finally arrived at Ironforge.

The guards of Ironforge couldn't help but get nervous when they saw a group of air troops. After observing the humans on the griffins and the Stormwind emblem on the humans through the telescope, the guards breathed a sigh of relief and then guided the griffin troops to land in the open space at the gate of Ironforge.

"I am Varian Wrynn, Prince of Stormwind, and I request an audience with King Magni Bronzebeard of Ironforge." Varian said, handing his token to the guard.

After checking the token, the guard said, "This way, Your Highness!"
