"Big ...... The ......middle-aged stonemason who was brought over by Kudran Brute Hammer seemed to be a little nervous.

For him, it may be the first time in his life that he has ridden a griffon, and it may also be the first time in his life that he has seen so many high-level mages.

Looking at the more than a dozen mages with different colors of their robes in front of him, the stonemason seemed to have some insight, and directly turned his gaze to the one wearing gray robes.

According to his understanding, the wizards in gray robes were the highest group of wizards......

Kel'thugad just snorted coldly and sideways out of the way.

Then, a blue-robed High Elf mage walked over and looked at the stonemason with a smile on his face:

"You can call me Carlin, Mr. Stonemason!"

The other person's tone was gentle and sounded comfortable...... The stonemason couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, he had always felt that these wizards of Dalaran were very eerie and terrifying, and it seemed that this elf lord was not like that.

"It's an honor to meet you, Lord Carlin!" The stonemasons said with a humble face, "I am Edwin Van Cleef, the president of the Stormwind Stonemasons Association......"

"Van Cleef?" Carlin blinked.

"Yes, my lord......" Van Cleef nodded in surprise, the Archmage of Dalaran actually knew his name.

"Stormwind is said to have been rebuilt by your abbot?" The look of surprise on Carlin's face quickly disappeared as he smiled and asked, "King Varian should have mentioned it to me!" ”

"Yes...... Van Cleef said, looking around at the "islands" around him, "are you preparing, my lord...... Build a castle on this island? ”

He had the impression that there was no such island in Loch Lake; However, the strength of the mages has always been unimaginable, and he didn't dare to ask more.

"It's not that complicated." Carlin replied, "All you need to do is build a very simple fortress...... Kudran, tell Mr. Van Cleef about the situation! ”

Kudran hurriedly jumped off the griffin and explained it to Van Cleef.

Listening to the dwarf's description, Van Cleef listened to the clouds.

Because according to the description of the other party, it seems that some kind of animal nest will be built on this island...... Sounds a little inexplicable?

However, he also knew that there were some things that he should not ask too much, so he did not express any objections......

"Your Excellency......" After a moment's deliberation, Van Cleef spoke again, "It will take about two months to complete such a project, when I gather all the workers of the Brotherhood of Stonemasons from Shining Gold......

"Two months?" Carlin frowned, then spoke again, "It's been too long...... I can only give you a month! ”

"A ...... month" Van Cleef's face seemed a little embarrassed.

"In terms of manpower, if it's not enough...... You can go to Kudran and ask him to send you a bunch of dwarves to work as helpers. Carlin continued: "I can double your pay, half of which can be advanced in advance, and the remaining half will be given to you when it is finished. ”

Van Cleef was stunned for a moment, speechless.

The conditions offered by this mage are too good, aren't they......

Double the remuneration, and at the same time, you can advance half of the remuneration in advance and settle the full bill after completion...... Such a bold employer, but the Brotherhood of Stonemasons has never met before.

Most of the employers of those projects in the past were aristocrats, and they generally chose to pay in installments, and there were various arrears...... For example, not long ago, the Brotherhood of Stonemasons was responsible for the reconstruction of Stormwind City, and it took twenty years for all the funds to arrive.

After a moment of sluggishness, Van Cleef nodded quickly: "Your Excellency...... Guaranteed completion of the mission, within a month! ”

"Good luck then!" Carlin smiled slightly: "Kudran, if Mr. Van Cleef has any other engineering requirements, please be sure to meet him!" ”

"Okay!" Kudran nodded with a big grin.

"Excuse me, Lord Kudran!" Van Cleef knew that this seemingly ordinary dwarf was actually the lord of Eagle's Nest Mountain and Grimbaatar, so he didn't dare to slack off at all.

……

Leaving Floating City, along with Kudran, Carlin entered the city of Grimbaatar.

Two years have passed since it was in the hands of the tribes, and the city has changed dramatically.

Thanks to the presence of the Red Dragon, the curse left by the Black Iron Queen in the past was suppressed, and the Eagle's Nest Mountain Hammer Dwarves were able to return to the city.

Everything is in order.

As Karin and Kudran entered, the dwarves along the way bowed to them.

They came to the great melting pot in the deepest part of the city, a structure laid out in a way that dwarves were accustomed to.

Carlin saw several massive red dragons and spewed their flames into the furnace, helping the Hammer Dwarves raise the temperature of the flames to the maximum.

The iron ore and coal from the Rockmodan Silver Springs in the south were then thrown into the furnace to make high-quality steel.

The shells of the bombs were made by the dwarves through stencils and then transported outside the city of Grimbaatar.

"Is production going well?" Carlin asked softly.

"No problem!" Kudran patted his chest confidently: "We Brute Hammer Dwarves are born masters of forgers, and this thing can't be difficult for us!" ”

The dynamite production workshop is not located in the city of Grimbaatar, after all, I am afraid that if such a city in the mountains explodes, it will be a disaster.

Two miles south of Grimbaatar, an open field. The alchemist Vadla built a large-scale alchemy workshop here; With the bomb casings delivered by Grimbaatar, they are able to produce large quantities of these weapons every day.

At the same time, with the help of dwarven craftsmen, they are also conducting new research.

……

In addition to this, Carlin also made a request to King Magni of Ironforge through Brian Copperbeard......

He hopes to hire a group of dwarven musketeers from Ironforge.

Due to the events of Uldaman's survey, the relationship between North Kazmodan and Ironforge was quite good, and it was now in peacetime, so King Magni did not hesitate to agree to this request.

Fifteen hundred dwarven musketeers of Ironforge, led by Brian Copperbeard, rushed to Grimbaatar.

They would be hired by Carlin for a year, after paying only 30,000 gold coins.

Faced with another Horde invasion on the horizon, Karin was well prepared for war......
