Chapter 370: Stormwind City

Stormwind, also known as Windy City and the City of Justice, is the capital of the Camp of Light, the Stormwind Empire, and the political, military, cultural, and religious center of the Stormwind Empire.

Five thousand years ago, a group of young human warriors with dreams founded this majestic city at the entrance of the Han River after defending the East China Sea coast against the invasion of orcs and sea tribes.

This ancient and majestic human city was once devastated by war.

In the end, under the leadership of the Wryon family, it was restored to its former glory.

Although Stormwind is a city ruled by humans, it also provides a place for the Dwarves and Night Elves of the same faction to live.

The Urryon family, the royal family of the Stormwind Empire, also allows the inhabitants of the member countries of the Light Faction to conduct various trade activities here.

【City Profile】

The current Stormwind City was built by the most famous stonemasons in the Eastern Continent.

The entire huge city body is made of white forbidden magic stones, which can defend against the bombardment of all magic below the sixth order without harm.

At the same time, Stormwind is also one of the two largest human cities, along with Cloud City, the capital of the Thunder Empire.

【History & Culture】

Stormwind is one of the mainstays of the Light faction in the Eastern Continent, having experienced three wars.

The first baptism of war was three thousand years ago, when Stormwind was sacked by the coalition of several orc tribes of the evil Totem Empire, and was later recaptured by the coalition forces of the Light Faction.

The second baptism was 2,000 years ago, when Stormwind was cast by the Night Empire's undead masters, and the terrifying plague nearly cursed it into a no-man's land, and the Grand Pope of the Church of Light summoned angels to purify the curse.

The third baptism was a thousand years ago, when Stormwind was invaded by the Sea Clan from the depths of the Endless Sea.

In the end, under the leadership of the leader of the Lion Legion of the Light Faction, Varian Wrynn, the Sea Clan was driven back into the deep sea, and Stormwind was restored to its former glory.

Varian Urien, who was revered as one of the leaders of the human race, established the Stormwind Empire in order to protect the human race in the northern part of the Eastern Continent from being desolate by foreign races.

Varian Wryon's mount, the Lion King, who has made many meritorious contributions in the Great War, has also become the guardian beast of Stormwind and the imperial emblem of the Stormwind Empire.

【Geographical Environment】

Stormwind is a coastal area with a pleasant climate that is spring-like all year round.

【Resident Population】

Currently, Stormwind has a population of about 17 million, of which 70% are humans, and the rest of the population is composed of members of the Light faction such as dwarves, gnomes, night elves, and werewolves.

【Zoning】

Stormwind consists of three areas: the Imperial City in the north, the Old City in the east, and the New City in the west.

The Imperial City is the inner city of Stormwind, which is where the Imperial Palace of the Storm Empire is located.

The eastern old city is divided into: the ordinary residential area and the Valley of Heroes.

The western new city is divided into: the port and dock area, the business area, the professional association area, the Guangming area, the storm fortress, the underground prison and the canal in the city.

【Famous Spots】

Stormwind Empire has many famous attractions.

For example: Colossus of Heroes, Black Rose Bar, Lions' Sleep, Church Square of Light, Royal Library.

【Transportation】

Stormwind uses white horses as land mounts, griffons as flying mounts, and sailing masts as vehicles.

At this moment, Fang Xuan was standing on the edge of the teleportation array in the Bright Church Square.

Looking at this huge and incomparably majestic capital, Fang Xuan thought of himself in his previous life.

When he first came here, he came with Danyue Qingxian and Yishui Zilin.

At that time, Fang Xuan was shocked by this prosperous and magnificent giant city for a while.

Until the light moon Qingxian told him:

The city is built from countless forbidden magic stones.

Fang Xuan's first reaction was:

The royal family of Urion, who is a big dog family, is so rich!

You know, the Forbidden Stone is a legendary gem that can greatly reduce magic damage.

A forbidden magic stone weighing 10 grams has a market price of 500~1000 gold coins in the trading house.

But what about here?

Forbidden Magic Stones are all in the form of bricks!

A forbidden magic stone brick weighs 10 kilograms, to say the least!

Looking at the roads, squares, houses, and walls on the ground of Stormwind City, they are all made of blocks of forbidden magic stones.

If this city is demolished and sold for money, how many gold coins will it have to be exchanged?

A trillion gold coins?

Or ten trillion gold coins?

No amount of value, even wealth, is enough to describe this Stormwind City.

Therefore, Fang Xuan's second reaction was:

When Lao Tzu is invincible one day, he will come and snatch this Stormwind City from the hands of the Wryon royal family.

When you don't have any money, you just dismantle a few forbidden magic stone bricks and throw them in the trading house to sell them for money.

Thinking of this, Fang Xuan's third reaction was:

Wait a while, take the opportunity to find a corner where no one is, and secretly pry him out of a few forbidden magic stone bricks first.

As a result, Fang Xuan cut off one of his gold-grade mine hoes, but he couldn't dig a single horn.

He was also stripped of his baronial title by the royal patrol guards of Stormwind City for violating the city's security, and then arrested him and imprisoned him in an underground prison for three days.

In the end, Yishui Zilin begged Danyue Qingxian for help and released him on bail.

If it weren't for the fact that Qingxian was a legendary scholar with the privileges of an imperial earl, Fang Xuan estimated that he would have to spend a month in the underground prison of Stormwind City.

Thinking of the past, Fang Xuan was also embarrassed.

Alas, whose youth is not in the second?

However, although that memory made him depressed, there was also a problem in front of him.

Why don't you buy a few plots of land in Stormwind first?

You must know that although the land of Stormwind City in the previous life was not as expensive as the land of Dalaran, as the capital of the Stormwind Empire, it was also quite prosperous.

At least, before the player transitioned to the Sixth-Order God and Demon Rank, Stormwind was the first of the four most prosperous cities in the Light Camp.

The other three cities are:

Cloud City (Capital of the Thunder Empire), Ironforge (Capital of the Ironforge Kingdom), Darnassus (Capital of the Kingdom of Life).

At this time, Fang Xuan looked at his backpack, which contained groups of delicious and fragrant food, rows of drinks of different colors, and of course, many pieces of equipment and a few special items.

In the end, Fang Xuan's gaze fell on the amount of money:

165355 55 gold coins and 88 bronze coins.

Originally, Fang Xuan didn't have so many gold coins, and he had told Xuan Zhijiali before that it might take tens of thousands of gold coins to go to Dalaran this time.

Xuan Zhijiali traded most of the working capital in the Three Thousand Chamber of Commerce to him.

Total: 165,000 gold!

Fang Xuan didn't expect that there were so many gold coins on the books of the Three Thousand Chamber of Commerce.

Xuan Zhijiali explained to him at the time that there were two reasons why there were so many gold coins on the books:

One is that just in time for the maintenance of "Genesis", the official currency exchange platform for gold and federal credits was launched in the game.

Many players who are more abundant in reality have placed many orders to buy gold coins with federal credits on this official currency exchange platform.

It just so happens that those players who are strapped for cash in reality and have more gold coins in the game will put their gold coins on this platform and exchange them for federal credits in reality to live.

Although this official currency exchange platform will charge 1% of the platform transaction fee for each transaction, it can be described as a conscientious platform compared to the 10%~15% handling fee charged on the black market.

Even before the game was maintained, the exchange ratio of gold coins and federal credits on the black market was once as high as 1:800,000, but because the fees were too expensive, players chose the official currency exchange platform.

After a large number of orders were generated, the exchange ratio of the currency gradually cooled down and returned to a relatively normal level.

The current exchange rates of the official currency platform are:

1 gold = 100,000 federal credits.

That's a lot cheaper than on the black market.

Therefore, many gold coin buyers have placed orders in order to buy the equipment that has long been in the game.

Gold coin sellers are also afraid of the depreciation of gold coins due to the increase of players' game level and faster money, and they do not dare to sell gold coins, so they have chosen to trade.

The gold coins in the market flowed like this.

The second reason is due to the fact that many resources and bosses have been refreshed after game maintenance.

The elite squads, mercenary groups, and players of the major guilds in the seven towns in Blizzard City almost all bought a lot of goods in the three thousand shops in order to grab those resources and bosses.

Among them, all kinds of equipment, food, and potions that were prepared before maintenance were almost sold out.

In this way, a large amount of gold coins were accumulated in the Three Thousand Chamber of Commerce.

In addition, this time, Fang Xuan instructed Xuan Zhijia to exchange those bronze, silver, and gold equipment he obtained from brushing the boss for a large number of materials from those big guilds.

The remaining dark gold equipment will be used to hold the first auction, when a large number of gold coins will come in.

With gold coins, you can buy land in other cities and buy a large number of resource materials.

Because there are a large number of professional life players in the Three Thousand Chamber of Commerce, with these materials, you can continue to craft a steady stream of equipment, food, and potions.

Finally, a benign economic ecosystem integrating production, sales and storage will be formed.

Fang Xuan's original intention of establishing the Three Thousand Chamber of Commerce was to accumulate a large amount of funds and resources, so that he could maintain economic freedom in the game.

However, he didn't have much time to manage the Three Thousand Chamber of Commerce.

To be honest, Fang Xuan originally planned to let his loving master in his previous life, Yishui Zilin, come to help him manage the Three Thousand Chamber of Commerce.

Later, after a period of observation and understanding, Fang Xuan chose Xuan Zhijiali, who was confused about small things and shrewd in big things.

In business, Yishui Zilin's personality is too simple, and it is obviously not suitable for a shopping mall.

Now it seems that he has a good eye for people.

Xuan Zhijiali is really qualified to be the president of the Three Thousand Chamber of Commerce, a very important position.

Otherwise, where can he have such an easy time, he can go wherever he wants.

However, as soon as he thought of the few hangings on the "Divine Soldier Ranking", Fang Xuan put away his satisfaction and began to recalculate:

In addition to the fact that it will take about 120,000 gold coins to wait for Dalaran, there are about 45,000 gold coins left.

Based on the current land price of 5,000 gold coins in Silverlight Town, the land price in an ordinary city is double that of a small town, which is 10,000 gold coins.

The price of land in the main city is twice as high as that of ordinary cities, which is 20,000 gold coins.

The price of land in the capital is twice as high as that in the main city, almost 40,000 gold coins.

Plus he's a demon hunter and can enjoy a 10% discount.

It costs about 36,000 gold coins, and the remaining 9,000 gold coins can be used to hire the magic construction team of the Stonemason Guild to build and upgrade 3,000 shops, and recruit some NPC shopping guides, cashiers and store managers by the way.

Perfect.

However, Fang Xuan suddenly thought of a very serious problem.

The royal guards at the gates of the Palace of Stormwind City, it seems, will not let ordinary players in!

If you can't get in, won't buying land become empty talk?
