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

Ironforge is built inside a stone mountain, and its main entrance is almost on the top of the mountain.

If you don't ride a griffin, you have to walk a very long mountain path, almost one or two kilometers, to enter Ironforge from the snowy land of Dun Morogh.

There is no shelter on either side of the mountain path, and one will fall to the foot of the mountain if one is not careful, which makes Ironforge very easy to defend and difficult to attack.

The place where Varian's griffin landed was probably the flat ground in front of the gate of Ironforge in the game, which was very close to the top of the mountain.

Led by the guards, Varian walked up the avenue on the hillside. After about a few dozen meters, he saw the gate of Ironforge.

The gate of Ironforge is also built in a particularly grand manner, with an estimated height of thirty or forty meters.

At the gate of Ironforge, at the entrance, stands a huge statue tens of meters high.

This is a very majestic statue of the first Dwarf King, Modimus Anvilmar, the Mountain King.

Enter from the entrance on the left side of the statue and you will enter Ironforge.

Varian carefully observed Ironforge. This magnificent city was built entirely inside a mountain. The interior space was extremely huge, more magnificent and more majestic than what was seen in the game. The entire city and the mountain were integrated together, forming an extremely solid and huge fortress.

Almost the entire Ironforge is built with huge stones inside. After the mountain was excavated, various buildings were constructed with solid large stones.

The towering city walls and sturdy towers that occasionally appear outside the mountain have also been carefully carved.

The streets in the city are well-connected and well-structured. Varian even thinks that the design is better than that of Stormwind City.

The design is really good. When the game was played before, the design of Ironforge was loved by the majority of players. The layout and structure are reasonable, and it is very convenient to find various shops.

After a while, Varian, led by the guards, came to the throne room and met Magni Bronzebeard, the king of Ironforge.

This dwarf king has fiery red hair and a long beard that reaches his waist. He tied his beard into a braid, making him very recognizable.

King of the Hill, King of Ironforge, future forger of the Ashbringer, this is what Varian knew about Magni Bronzebeard.

"Prince Varian, you have come all the way from afar. Welcome to Ironforge." Magni Bronzebeard said enthusiastically.

Ironforge and Stormwind have very good relations, with frequent trade and technological exchanges, and a lot of cooperation both officially and privately, so the dwarves are also very friendly to humans.

"Respected King Magni, it's the first time I meet you, and I brought you some Stormwind wine to taste." After Varian said this, he asked his followers to carry two barrels of wine to Magni.

All dwarves love to drink. They make all kinds of strong liquor, thunder wine, and have many wine masters. They even have a village called Strong Liquor Village.

Varian also knew that the best way to get closer to the dwarves was to drink with them.

Magni couldn't help but smell the aroma from the wine barrel. He immediately opened the barrel and poured a glass. Immediately, the aroma of wine filled the entire throne room.

Magni took a sip, his eyes lit up and he said, "Good wine!"

Then he ordered his men to serve the food, as he wanted to have a drink with Varian.

Varian said hurriedly: "I also brought some seafood. Please let my followers borrow your kitchen. After cooking, we can enjoy it together."

Magni said readily: "Okay!"

After a while, the entourage brought all kinds of seafood to the table.

The table was filled with boiled crab claws, crab cakes, grilled clams, steamed mackerel, spicy lobster, colorful fin fish sashimi, etc.

At this time, Magni's two younger brothers, Muradin Bronzebeard and Brann Bronzebeard, also arrived.

After drinking a glass of wine, the two brothers' eyes lit up and they praised the wine highly.

"We brothers have drunk a lot of wine, but none of them is as fragrant and mellow as the wine brought by the prince. It's really good." Muradin Bronzebeard said.

Brian Bronzebeard was gnawing on a lobster and nodded repeatedly, saying, "The wine smells good, and this seafood is delicious, too. It's better than wild boar and mutton."

Magni ate boiled crab claws and grilled clams, and nodded repeatedly, saying, "I heard that you built a dock in Dagger Ridge. It's so nice to live by the sea. You can eat fresh seafood every day."

Varian smiled and said, "Ironforge is fine too. As long as King Magni agrees, I will open a seafood store in Ironforge and sell the freshest seafood every day."

"Really?" Muradin Bronzebeard wanted to agree on behalf of his elder brother immediately. He had been eating mutton and wild boar meat every day since he was a child, and he was really tired of it.

Magni asked, "Is there a lot of seafood? Can it be guaranteed to be fresh after being transported from such a long distance?"

Varian said, "We can provide at least several thousand kilograms every day. We use teleportation magic to transport them here every day to ensure they are fresh."

Magni looked at his two brothers, exchanged glances, and said immediately: "I agree! Go find a suitable store by yourself, rent a place, and I will issue a license."

"Okay!" Varian was very happy.

Brian Bronzebeard asked: "Will this wine also be sold?"

"This wine cannot be sold because the production is too small. When it is produced, I will leave a few barrels for you." Varian shook his head and said.

After a few more drinks, Varian asked, "Are there griffons in Ironforge?"

"There are no such things as griffins in Ironforge. Only the Wildhammers in the Hinterlands in the north have them. We want to ask them to sell them, but they are unwilling to do so." Magni said.

"If I had it for sale, would you want it?" Varian asked.

"What? You have a griffin?" Magni's eyes widened.

He had wanted a griffin for a long time, because Ironforge was built on a mountain, and the area around Ironforge was also mountainous, so having a griffin would be much more convenient.

But the guys from Manchu just don't want to sell.

"Of course there are. I came to Ironforge riding a griffin, and there were more than twenty of them," said Varian.

"Take me to see it quickly." Magni stopped drinking and pulled Varian out.

When he arrived outside Ironforge, Magni saw more than twenty majestic royal griffins.

He walked forward to observe it carefully, then stroked it, and realized that this was a griffin that was larger and stronger than the Hinterland griffin.

Varian handed him a piece of cheese and asked him to try flying on a griffon.

After Magni fed the griffin a piece of cheese, he turned over and jumped onto the griffin's back. He pulled the reins and the griffin began to take off.

It flew around the top of Ironforge Mountain, then flew from the top to the foot of the mountain, and then flew back from the foot of the mountain.

After jumping off the griffin, he took a deep breath, looked at Varian and asked, "Prince, how much do you want to sell these griffins for?"

Varian held out his hand and said, "Five thousand gold coins for one, forty-five thousand gold coins for ten!
