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

Varian tried the time-space portal, activated the magic at Dagger Ridge, and returned to Stormwind City in just a few seconds.

This efficiency is faster than a portal. After all, summoning a portal also requires casting time, and after the portal is summoned, you have to walk into it yourself.

The magic of the time and space gate is to disappear directly on the spot and appear at the destination.

Very powerful space magic.

After returning to Stormwind, Varian did not go home, but came to the most bustling trading area in Stormwind.

Varian wandered around the trade area for a long time and finally found a suitable empty shop behind the weapons store.

It is the small path between the weapons store and the daily necessities store. At the end there is an empty shop with a large area of ​​nearly one thousand square meters.

Stormwind is now thriving, with an increasing population, so shops in the core area are hard to come by. There are shops in remote areas, but Varian doesn't want them. To do business, one must go to places with many people and good locations in order to ship large quantities.

After finding and communicating with the shop owner, Varian rented the empty shop and prepared to use it to sell seafood.

After signing the lease contract, Varian hired a few people to clean the empty shops, and then found craftsmen to build several large pools in the middle of the shops.

While the craftsmen were building the large pool, he approached the advertising material supplier and asked them to make a sign.

The process of making the signboard is very efficient. The store owner just finds a rectangular wooden board that meets the specifications and carves the words on it directly with a knife.

After a while, the sign was carved.

The sign read: Fresh seafood from Dagger Ridge, with a crab pattern carved on the back.

Varian was very pleased with the sign.

After hanging the sign at the door of the store, Varian returned to the supply warehouse at the dock and teleported buckets of crabs, sea fish, lobsters, shellfish and sea water to the Stormwind City store through the time and space portal. They were all live and fresh seafood.

Finally, four Dagger Ridge soldiers were arranged to sell seafood here.

The entire seafood store, from finding a storefront to opening for business, took two full days, with almost no rest in between, which made Varian exhausted.

Since the store is located in a busy place in the trade district with people coming and going, when the seafood store first opened, some passers-by came in to visit.

When residents saw the pools of lively seafood, they were immediately attracted.

The crabs and sea crabs on this beach are much better than the crabs produced near Stormwind Port. They are not only big in size, but also very energetic.

There were also various sea fish, many of which they had never seen before.

There are also fishing boats in the Stormwind Port, but they are relatively few. So although Stormwind used to sell seafood, the variety was limited, and the types of crabs and lobsters were also different.

The residents found it very strange and came to watch.

Under Varian's arrangement, two soldiers distributed various cooked seafood to the onlookers for tasting.

The taste is surprisingly good! After trying it, the residents praised it as delicious.

After tasting the food, many residents started buying seafood. For a while, a long queue formed in front of the two soldiers in charge of weighing the seafood. Business was surprisingly good.

The three ships contained nearly 20,000 kilograms of seafood, plus the crabs caught in two days. All of them were sold out in less than a day. After Varian took inventory, he made a net profit of more than 10,000 gold coins.

There were even merchants from Goldshire who wanted to become its agents, but Varian did not agree immediately. Instead, he waited for him to check their qualifications.

It’s not easy to become an agent. You need to have suitable stores and certain financial strength.

The booming business was somewhat beyond Varian's expectations. The seafood sales channel in Stormwind City was finally opened up, and it was worth his two days of going back and forth as a porter.

Of course, he also knew that the reason why it was so popular on the first day was, on the one hand, because many residents had never eaten it and bought it to try it out; on the other hand, because it was newly opened, Varian held a promotion.

It is expected that sales will gradually return to normal and stabilize after a few days.

At night, after Varian returned to the dock, he remembered that he had not built any buildings today, so he looked at the system. It would take 2000 gold coins and 10 units of stone to build a lighthouse.

After silently thinking about building it, a light flashed and a lighthouse instantly appeared before his eyes, right at the location of the western wilderness lighthouse in the original book.

The lighthouse in the Heroes of Might and Magic system is taller than most lighthouses in Azeroth, almost as tall as the Stormwind Mage Tower, and is made entirely of stone, which is very beautiful.

After building the lighthouse, Varian bought three more ships and gave them to Grayson, asking him to continue recruiting people to fish.

Captain Grayson now controls a total of six fishing boats. He will buy four more in a few days, so he will have at least ten fishing boats.

Varian's next plan is to recruit seafood agents in Gran Village in Dawn Forest and Lakeside Town in Redridge Mountains, and strive to expand the seafood business to the entire Stormwind Kingdom.

After finishing all these and dealing with the matters at the shipyard, Varian finally had time to return to the Dagger Ridge base.

One thing he had thought about for a long time was how to use the griffin.

The griffins recruited by the Griffin Tower Leader can be directly used as soldiers to fight on the battlefield. This huge beast is quite powerful.

But Varian felt that he did not need so many melee troops, he needed air troops, so he wanted to train a new type of troops, the Griffin Knights.

This was a new type of military force that the Storm Kingdom had never seen before. At that time, the Storm Kingdom did not even have an air force.

Varian knew that in the northern Hinterlands Forest, there was a dwarf tribe called the Wildhammers, which had griffon riders.

In the original novel, after the orc invasion, the dwarves and humans formed an alliance, and the Griffin Knights became the absolute main force of the alliance's air force. Under the leadership of Kurdran, the leader of the Wildhammer tribe, the Griffin Knights even killed a nine-headed red dragon and became a famous sky overlord.

Varian now has griffins, and the number is close to twenty, so he wants to try to establish a griffin knight force.

The dwarf Griffin Knight uses a giant hammer of thunder and lightning to cast magic attacks and has a famous skill called "Storm Hammer".

Varian did not have such soldiers. It would have been appropriate for Paladins to train Griffin Knights, as they were capable of both resistance and long-range attack. Unfortunately, there were no Paladins in Azeroth at that time, so he could only arrange for priests to train Griffin Knights.

Varian had thought about using the Sharpshooter as a Griffin Rider, but the Sharpshooter's output was too low, completely inferior to the Priest, and did not meet the requirements of the main air force.

In addition, archers need to carry a large number of arrows, but priests do not, which is very important for long-term combat.

Under Varian's arrangement, starting tomorrow, the first batch of students will be selected as fifteen priests, each of whom will be assigned a griffin, and will conduct coordinated training at the top of Dagger Ridge.
