After opening the letter Magni sent to him, Aaron finally understood the whole story. It turned out that Aaron had been with Dalaran and Muradin before. When E mentioned Uldaman, Muradin immediately sent a letter to his elder brother and informed Magni about it.
The dwarves have always attached great importance to exploring the history of their ancestors. After receiving this letter from Muradin, King Magni took it very seriously and immediately organized an excavation team to prepare for the excavation work at Uldaman.
Long before the Orcs invasion war, the dwarves had explored Uldaman, but they did not conduct an in-depth investigation at that time. Firstly, it was because the Badlands where Uldaman was located was not Bronzebeard Dwarves. The core territory of the s is on the edge of Dark Iron Dwarves's power. If Bronzebeard Dwarves wants to develop there, it will always be blocked by Dark Iron Dwarves. It becomes very difficult to concentrate on excavation.
Secondly, Bronzebeard Dwarves had long forgotten the fact that their ancestors left Uldaman. Because all kinds of excavation work was not going well, although Bronzebeard Dwarves had excavated Uldaman, they themselves were not very convinced that Uldaman contained what they wanted, so they did not spend too much effort exploring it.
Until Orcs later invaded Khaz Modan and drove the dwarves back to Ironforge, the dwarves never thought that the secret of the origin of their ancestors was hidden in the underground palace of Uldaman.
After Muradin heard from Aaron that the origin of the dwarves might be related to Uldaman, he immediately told his elder brother about it. Magni also attached great importance to this matter. It became imperative for the dwarves to rediscover Uldaman.
At that time, the army of the Alliance had basically recovered the entire Khaz Modan. The army of the Alliance advanced the front line to Badlands, where Uldaman was located. The northernmost part of Badlands, because it was connected to Khaz Modan, had long been recaptured by the Alliance, so the expedition team organized by the dwarves completed preparations and set off for Uldaman.
At this time, the news that Aaron and the others came to Dun Morogh had already reached the ears of Magni through the mountain rangers. Due to various considerations, Magni decided to invite Aaron to join the second batch of expeditions to explore Uldaman.
When the previous batch of Bronzebeard Dwarves excavated Uldaman, they found many traces of monsters called Troggs in the underground palace. These ferocious and brutal monsters once drove the dwarves who were doing the excavation work out of Uldaman. However, with the help of the Alliance army, these Troggs did not cause too much trouble to Bronzebeard Dwarves, and soon the dwarves regained a foothold in the underground palace.
However, this incident made the dwarves more convinced of the information provided by Aaron, because when Aaron and Muradin mentioned Uldaman, they had specifically warned him that there were some terrifying monsters sleeping in Uldaman, and the dwarves must be careful when excavating Uldaman.
It is precisely because of this that Magni believes that the information provided by Aaron is true and reliable, so he wants to invite Aaron to come in together. In the eyes of the dwarves, since Aaron can know the situation in Uldaman, then he must be interested in Uldaman has a very clear understanding of the internal terrain and other conditions. With his help, the dwarves' exploration activities in the underground palace will definitely go more smoothly, so they sent a messenger to Gnomeregan, inviting Aaron to join the expedition team and go to Uldaman to explore together.
Faced with the invitation from Bronzebeard Dwarves, Aaron was very excited for a while. After all, there are two Titan Keepers who escaped from Northrend living among Uldaman. If we can establish a good relationship with them, they will definitely provide help for Aaron's future plan to conquer Ulduar who suppressed Yogg-Saron.
But what Aaron is hesitating about now is that Yamei Trading is still in its infancy. If Aaron is now leaving the work here and going to Uldaman, there is no guarantee that the dwarves will not have any ideas. For a while, Aaron doesn't know whether to agree to the invitation of the dwarves and go to join that expedition.
But at this moment, Sicco Thermaplugg, who had made the company's sign and came out to look for Aaron, heard about Aaron's troubles and immediately said that he could help Aaron with some preliminary preparations. Aaron could go to Uldaman to explore with confidence.
Although Aaron lacks trust in Sicco Thermaplugg, he thinks that with Mekkatorque here, Sicco Thermaplugg should not be able to cause any trouble, Aaron thought for a while and asked Sicco Thermaplugg to help purchase some materials needed for manufacturing machinery. For a master craftsman like Sicco Thermaplugg, this kind of trivial matter is naturally something he is familiar with.
In order to make Sicco Thermaplugg work conscientiously, Aaron also specifically told him that he could withdraw part of the company's start-up capital as his own remuneration, but he must not shoddy it.
Sicco Thermaplugg agreed to Aaron and said that if Aaron came back and was dissatisfied with his work, he could go to Mekkatorque to report him.
Although he didn't believe in Sicco Thermaplugg's guarantee, Aaron thought that if he was just purchasing some raw materials, there shouldn't be any big problems, so he handed over the matter to Sicco Thermaplugg, but asked him in advance to keep part of the funds for Aaron to use to recruit people in the future.
In Aaron's mind, Ya-Mei Trading Company's business cannot just be leasing those mechanical creations to dwarf craftsmen for research. After all, the number of mechanical creations brought back by Aaron is limited, and sooner or later they will be studied by dwarf craftsmen. By then, the trading company that Aaron has high hopes for will have no money to make.
In Aaron's conception, Ya-Mei Trading Company's main business must be to produce its own products and sell them to the Alliance countries. Only in this way can the operation of this trading company be maintained.
So in Aaron's plan, this company must recruit some dwarf craftsmen to serve itself, and this is inseparable from Jincai. Fortunately, Aaron worked at before When Lordaeron sold the core of the structure, he received a large sum of money, and Mekkatorque provided a lot of start-up capital for the company. Combined with the two, Aaron had a lot of money at his disposal.
According to the market price Aaron inquired about at Gnomeregan, it would not be a problem for Aaron to hire a dozen dwarf apprentices and two or three dwarf craftsmen in the first year.
With these manpower, Aaron can officially establish this company. However, in Aaron's view, such a company is actually just a handicraft workshop-style organization, which is not worthy of the company's name.
However, the road has to be walked step by step, and it was impossible for Aaron to invest all the property he had on hand, so naturally he had to start from a small workshop.
After explaining to Sicco Thermaplugg for a while, Aaron and Vereesa followed the dwarf messenger and prepared to go to Ironforge.
Because Dreadwake felt that every move was too troublesome, Aaron docked the ship outside Gnomeregan, and rode a mountain horse with Vereesa.
However, walking on the snow-covered road Dun Morogh, Aaron deeply felt the inconvenience of horses walking in the snow. Due to the influence of snow, it is difficult for alpine horses to run fast and can only move forward slowly.
On the contrary, the goat ridden by the dwarf messenger moves very quickly in the snow. Although it will get stuck in the snow, it will not affect the movement. Unfortunately, Aaron does not understand the lighting rules of the mounts in his mount list. Otherwise, it would be great to summon a goat to ride.
After a day's travel, Aaron and the others arrived at Ironforge. This ancient city built by the dwarves was built in the middle of the mountain just like Gnomeregan. From the outside, only a gate could be seen standing at the foot of the snow-capped mountains. It was this gate that blocked the siege of the Orcss for several years and ensured the safety of the dwarves.
After bypassing this gate, Aaron and Vereesa stepped into the territory of Ironforge for the first time. This thousand-year-old city was not as good as Silvermoon City in terms of heritage, and inferior to Lordaeron in terms of population and scale. This city, which was built entirely in the middle of the mountain, gave them a different kind of shock.
