Rockmore, Valley of the Kings, Southgate Trail, Frozen Stone Farm...... Three weeks later, Ares and Arrin finally arrived at Ironforge, the home of the dwarves.

Contrary to what Ares had imagined, the main entrance of Ironforge was majestic and tall, located between the mountains, surrounded by tall peaks, which were covered in a thick layer of white by wind and snow. After passing through countless mountain roads and caves, a turn made and the giant city gate suddenly appeared in front of him, and the shock was undoubtedly shocking.

Viewed from the King's Road, Ironforge is almost walled, and a majestic gate between two high mountains is all that can be seen from the outside. Ironforge doesn't actually need walls, it's a city built underground, and the mountain is its best wall.

In the wind and snow, Ares and Arrin walked along the avenue to the giant city of Ironforge, walking with tired and excited steps. Sixty percent of Azeroth's Copperbeard Dwarves live here. This thousand-year-old capital has gone through countless vicissitudes of wind and snow, and it is still on this continent, even during the Orc War, the violent orcs set foot on Stormwind City, but they could not open the gates of Ironforge Castle, you can imagine the city's greatness and impregnable defense system.

The closer he got to Ironforge, the taller and grander the gate became, and it didn't feel much from a distance, and when Ares walked under the gate, the tall gate was more than a dozen stories high, which reminded Ares of the Greymane Wall he had seen in the Silver Pine Forest, everything in Azeroth, so magical, like a dream. It's just that the dwarves and human creatures in front of them are so real......

"Welcome home, General Gondolis."

When they reached the city gates, the guards quickly recognized the leader of the army.

After a warm and polite greeting, the guards of Ironforge let the expeditionary force into the castle. Yes, in Ares's opinion, Ironforge was both a city and a castle, and the avenue leading to the gate was paved with large stone slabs with elaborate paintings, and on either side of the gate were stone pillars that jutted into the roof, and it seemed that at least a dozen dwarves held hands to hold them together.

At the end of the King's Road is the famous ironforge statue, the megalithic statue of Modamus Anvima. Every visitor and visitor entering Ironforge had to pass under his feet as a sign of reverence and respect for the great dwarven pioneer. This is the pride and pride of the dwarves, who did not need such tall gates and passages, but they insisted on doing so, so that all the foreign guests who visited had to pay homage to their ancestors. The splendor and glory of our ancestors lives on here.

Bypassing the statue, you're truly inside Ironforge. The King's Road stretches to the end of the line, where the melting pot is located.

On either side of the King's Road, there is an intricate series of arches made of stone and steel. In these dense, labyrinthine arches, dwarves come and go.

Without exception, when Ares walked by, everyone cast respectful and reverent glances, not because of anything else, but because of the legend of the Ember Bringer, the sword of light, after countless ups and downs, finally came to the Ironforge again, its birthplace. And during this period, what happened in the north has been more or less transmitted here. Not surprisingly, Ares was treated like a hero.

Along the way, the dwarves enjoyed the envious and reverent gazes of their companions, and they stopped the Black Iron Dwarves' plot to destroy the Sadol Bridge, and this alone was enough for the people of Ironforge to record their exploits in the annals of history. Of course, this includes Ares.

"Brother, King Magni welcomes your arrival, and he is glad to know the heroes of Lordaeron and the new master of the Ember Bringer. But he still has some business to deal with, and when he finishes dealing with the matter at hand, he will see you immediately. ”

"For the next two days, you will stay at the hostel, and I will have the best food and drinks in all of Dan Morro for you. Feel the delicacy and warmth of the dwarves. ”

Arrin said, taking Ares and Gianna to the rest area of Ironforge Castle, which is also a residential area and a hostel area. Digging a city in the mountains is not a simple matter of building and chiseling, the volume of the mountains is limited, how to excavate and build, in order to maximize the use of space, the dwarves have been carefully calculated in this regard, and the reputation of architectural engineers is not in vain.

Because the planning of the Iron Fort is very reasonable and orderly. The residential area, the forging area, the market area, the military area, and the council area are separated, but in order to facilitate the trade and exchange of merchants here, the residential area is next to the market area, and the two large areas are the areas with the largest volume occupied by the ironforge fort.

Unlike human cities, dwarf cities are distributed along the inner walls of the mountains, and along the winding mountain paths, there are dense small houses, most of which are small rooms carved into the cliff walls, and some buildings even stick out of the ground and are built in mid-air.

The layering reminds Ares of the mountain city of Chongqing he saw before he traveled, and on the roof of your house, it is the downstairs of someone else's house......

The residential areas of Ironforge have this smell.

Of course, the dwarves with status, status, and wealth lived differently, and they chose to build their "villas" in a flat and empty area, although in Ares's view, it was more like a bunker. Most of these sparse dwarven mansions are located on the upper floors, and from their private balconies, they can overlook the entire underground area of Ironforge Castle, and even the dark red magma in the deepest part and the faint light it emits.

The place where Ares and Gianna were stayed was the most famous inn in Ironforge, where the wealthiest merchants of Stormwind usually came to Ironforge to negotiate business cooperation. It is also used to receive foreign dignitaries, and of course, Ares's status at this time is no longer inferior to that of any dignitaries in Ironforge Castle.

"Brother, this is the key, and here, you can go in and out of every corner of the city, except for the council chamber. At the same time, you can stay as long as you want, that's what King Magni meant. He would make you very welcome. Also, if you feel bored, turn left when you go out, and you will find the market path, and from the market path, you will find a trade center, where merchants from all over the world sell and buy the goods they want, and if you are lucky, you can also pick up treasures and treasures there. ”

Arrin said, winking at Ares......
