Under the guidance of the dwarf messenger, Aaron and Vereesa passed through the military zone and arrived at the center of Ironforge, where they saw Ironforge's most shocking spectacle - Great Forge.
The entire center of Ironforge is used to accommodate this non-human-driven forge. The dwarves draw magma from the ground to provide an energy source for this huge forge. Even if Aaron and they are not close to Great Forge, they can feel the scorching heat coming from there, not to mention that the surrounding environment is illuminated red by the magma.
"How spectacular!" Aaron looked at Great Forge, and heard the tinkling sound of the dwarves forging near Great Forge, and felt a sense of shock in his heart.
"Haha, every guest who sees Great Forge for the first time will be amazed." The dwarf messenger seemed to be very satisfied with Aaron's reaction. He waited until Aaron calmed down before saying with a smile, and then led the two of them to the King's Hall where Magni was.
As the original capital of the three dwarf tribes, Ironforge has existed in the heart of the mountain for thousands of years. During this period, the entire city has expanded several times before reaching its current appearance.
Later, the dwarf civil war broke out, and only one of the three dwarf clans, Bronzebeard Dwarves, remained in Ironforge, while the other two clans left for other places. After that, Ironforge also declined for a period of time. However, with the development of Bronzebeard Dwarves over the past hundreds of years, this ancient city gradually returned to its original prosperity.
In fact, since the completion of the subway connecting Ironforge and Stormwind City hosted by Mekkatorque, Ironforge has ushered in new development. Not to mention the income generated by the goods running through the subway, the travelers carried by this subway every day have provided Ironforge with incalculable wealth.
"Is this the reason why there are so many humans here?" Aaron asked while listening to the dwarf messenger constantly chattering about the development of the city, pointing to the humans everywhere around him.
"It's almost what you said." The dwarf messenger replied, "After the subway opened to traffic, more and more humans came to do business with us. Thanks to them, the prices of the weapons forged by our dwarves have also increased a lot."
Originally, Kingdom of Stormwind was isolated in the south, separated from the Alliance members in the north by the territory of Dark Iron Dwarves. There was very little communication between the two parties, until later Orcs destroyed Stormwind City, and Anduin·Lothar took the survivors of Kingdom of Stormwind northward to seek help. This led to in-depth exchanges between the two sides.
Later, King Varian felt deeply about the inconvenience of transportation between Stormwind City and the northern countries, so he commissioned High Tinker Mekkatorque to build the north-south subway, so that Stormwind City could communicate more conveniently with the north.
"This also makes it very easy to travel between the two cities when Horde is massacring the city." Aaron added silently in his heart, but his face was echoing the dwarf messenger's nagging.
"Okay, you two, the front is between the thrones where His Majesty the King is, and my mission is over." The messenger took the two people outside the room where Magni was, signaled to them, and left.
"Hey, aren't you taking us in?" Aaron was about to call the dwarf, but he had already walked away, leaving only Aaron and Vereesa looking at each other.
"Okay, let's go in by ourselves." Aaron spread his hands, and when he was about to push open the door, he was pulled by Vereesa.
"What's wrong?" Aaron glanced at Vereesa doubtfully and asked.
"There seems to be someone quarreling inside." Vereesa's expression became a little strange, and he pointed to the door and said.
"Fighting?" Aaron was a little embarrassed for a moment. Could it be that the messenger took him the wrong way? Someone couldn't be quarreling with Magni, right?
At this moment, Aaron heard a slightly heavy footsteps approaching the door, and at the same time heard an angry shout, "If you don't let me go, then I will go! If you can, lock me up."
"Moira!" was followed by a deep and powerful voice, with unabashed helplessness in the words.
"Hmph!" With a cold snort, the door in front of Aaron was opened from the inside, and a female dwarf walked out of the room. There was unconcealed anger on this female dwarf's face. After leaving the door, she saw the two people outside the door. The female dwarf stopped in surprise, then turned to the room behind her and shouted, "Old guy, the guest you are looking for is here."
After shouting, Moira bowed slightly to Aaron and Vereesa and said, "You two, my father is waiting for you inside, please come in."
When talking to the two of them, Moira's face showed no trace of the previous anger, and instead looked quite friendly and amiable. He was completely different from before.
"This..." Aaron stared at Moira's retreating back in stunned silence, not knowing what to say. He turned around and Vereesa looked at each other, and the two of them tacitly decided to turn a blind eye to this matter.
"The human guests from far away are Miss Windrunner. Welcome to Ironforge. I just made you laugh." Magni saw Aaron and the others coming in. He took the initiative to approach them and shook hands with them one by one to express his goodwill.
Magni's beard and hair are all orange-red. Although he wears a crown on his head, he looks more like a Warrior and a blacksmith. When chatting with Aaron, he doesn't have the airs of a king.
Magni first expressed his gratitude to Aaron for the reminder previously conveyed through Muradin, and at the same time expressed his hope that Aaron would join the Uldaman expedition team, and said that he could provide Aaron with a weapon forged by himself as a reward.
Since Aaron has followed the messenger here, he will naturally not refuse the invitation. However, regarding what Magni said about sending a weapon, Aaron thought for a while, untied Silver Hand Warhammer and Strom'kar that he was carrying on his back and handed them to Magni.
"These, these two weapons!" Magni just took the two weapons and glanced at them roughly, and was so excited that his beard exploded. He was so excited that he couldn't even say a complete sentence.
"Both of these are definitely top-notch pieces, especially this war hammer which contains a power that I don't quite understand. It seems to be related to the materials used in casting..." As the best mortal blacksmith, saw these two artifacts. Magni was immediately obsessed with it, and it took him a long time to return the two weapons to Aaron, and offered to wait until the end of the expedition so that Aaron could provide the desired reward himself.
"You two can rest in the city for a day, our expedition team is still making final preparations." Magni, after confirming that Aaron would join the expedition team, arranged a residence for the two of them in Ironforge so that they could have a good rest before departure.
