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

Of course, this is limited to the time of flying. If you ride a horse, it will take more time, because there are too many mountains in Dun Morogh, there is no straight road, and there is a big lake on the road, so you need to take a detour, which will take three or four days.

After a day of flying, Varian and his party finally arrived at the dwarf main city of Gnomeregan in the evening.

Gnomeregan is an underground city. Its entrance is built on the hillside of a stone mountain covered with snow all year round. It is a bit like the entrance of a subway station.

But to be honest, the entrance to Gnomeregan is a bit ordinary, unlike other main cities that have imposing gates.

When he reached the door, Varian jumped off the griffin and handed the token of his credibility and the invitation letter to the guard at the door for inspection.

The dwarf guard at the door carefully checked the invitation and token, then respectfully invited Varian and his party in.

It was the first time for the group to come to Gnomeregan, and they all looked around curiously.

After entering from the entrance, there is a slope going down. After about thirty or forty meters, you will reach the end, which is an elevator room.

There is a large elevator that can carry twenty or thirty people at the same time.

It’s about thirty meters vertically down from the elevator that we finally enter Gnomeregan.

It feels a bit like the technology company in an American zombie movie, deep underground, and you have to take an elevator to get in.

The defense of this design is very good.

This large elevator was not only very fast, but also very stable and quiet, which stunned Gavinrad and the others.

Gavinrad said, "Your Highness, this dwarf elevator is so advanced. It is much more convenient and efficient than the elevator in our Moon Creek Mine."

Varian said, "Except for the goblins, which race can compare with the dwarfs in technology? But having said that, this elevator is really good. The mines should consider introducing a few of them."

Soon they were taken to Gelbin Mekkatorque's office.

"Welcome to Gnomeregan, your highness Prince Varian," said Mekkatorque.

"Hello, respected master craftsman!" said Varian.

The Great Craftsman Gelbin Mekkatorque is the leader of the dwarves and a great inventor. He is about one meter tall, has a very smart bald head, and always wears a pair of goggles. He likes people to call him the Great Craftsman.

"We are holding a new product showcase in Gnomeregan, so we invite your Highness to come and visit. Some other countries have also sent people here, such as Brian Bronzebeard from Ironforge and Danath Trollbane from Stromgarde. You can stay here for a few more days." Mekkatorque said.

Seeing that there was a dwarf next to Mekkatorque, Varian asked, "Who is this?"

Mekkatorque said, "This is Meccainir Thermaplugg, Master Tinker of Gnomeregan."

"Hello, Great Tinker!"

Varian said.

But he knew that the Great Tinker was secretly dissatisfied with the Great Craftsman Mekkatorque and had always wanted to replace him, so he later betrayed Mekkatorque.

At that time, a large number of Troggs suddenly invaded. Thermaplugg finally found an opportunity to resist Mekkatorque and condoned the invasion of the Troggs.

In order to clean up these invading stone palate monsters, High Craftsman Mekkatorque ordered the opening of the emergency radiation tanks in the city, trying to kill the stone palate monsters with radiation.

The stone palate monsters were infected with poison but did not die, and their attack power did not weaken. Instead, some dwarves were infected and turned into leper dwarves.

The leakage of a large amount of radiated water caused Gnomeregan to be filled with radiation everywhere, and Mekkatorque and a large number of gnomes were forced to flee to Ironforge.

Thermaplugg did not flee, he stayed in Gnomeregan and began to call himself the King of Gnomeregan. He led a large group of radiation-infected leper gnomes and occupied Gnomeregan.

"Oh? Then I'd really like to take a closer look. But before that, I want the great craftsman to try our Dagger Ridge seafood. What do you think?" Varian asked.

"Great! I heard from the dwarves who came back from Ironforge that you opened a seafood store in Ironforge. The seafood you sell is of very good quality. I also want to try it. Now is time for dinner. You provide the seafood and I provide the wine. Let's drink to our heart's content today!" said Mekkatorque.

"That's great!" Varian said.

"You are welcome to use the kitchen as you wish. I'll send someone to invite Brian and Danas to come and dine together," Mekkatorque said.

Varian then borrowed the dwarf's kitchen and asked his followers to cook.

Soon the restaurant was filled with dishes.

Seafood includes boiled crab claws, crab cakes, grilled clams, steamed mackerel, spicy lobster, and colorful fish sashimi. In addition, there are also grilled velociraptor meat, jungle chowder (made with tiger meat), crocodile stew and other delicacies of Stranglethorn Vale.

Mekkatorque ordered dwarven liquor, thunder beer, and hot ale.

"Ah, Prince Varian, we meet again!" Prince Danas greeted warmly after coming in.

"Yeah, long time no see." Varian quickly replied.

At this time, Brian Bronzebeard also came in. He was the younger brother of the King of Ironforge. Varian had met him once when he went to Ironforge last time. Varian hurriedly greeted him.

Danas looked at the seafood on the table and asked in confusion: "Master Craftsman, are there so many seafood in Gnomeregan?"

"Gnomeregan doesn't have a port, so where does the seafood come from? These are all brought by Prince Varian." Mekkatorque said.

Brian said, "Prince Varian wants to open a seafood restaurant in Gnomeregan, right? There are already so many in the Eastern Kingdoms. That's amazing."

Danas asked with a puzzled look on his face: "Doesn't Storm Kingdom only have three fishing boats? How can there be so much seafood?"

They also have a port and seafood in Stromgarde, but they only have three fishing boats and the output is barely enough to supply the country.

"That was in the past. Now there are dozens of fishing boats in Stormwind Kingdom!" said Varian.

Danas was shocked when he heard this. He thought for a moment and said, "There are dozens of fishing boats! I'm afraid even the ocean kingdom of Kul Tiras can't compare to them! I'll go to Stormwind Kingdom to visit them if I have a chance."

"You're very welcome! Welcome Prince Danas to visit my territory, Dagger Ridge!" said Varian.

Mekkatorque ate a boiled crab claw, a piece of mackerel meat, and half a lobster. After careful tasting, he found that the taste was indeed better than winter wolf meat and iceclaw bear meat.

He opened another spicy lobster and took a bite of the lobster meat. It tasted good and he nodded frequently while eating.

Before Varian could speak, Mekkatorque urged, "The seafood tastes very good. We should hurry up and open a seafood store in Gnomeregan so that the residents of Gnomeregan can also taste these delicacies."
