In the evening of the next day, Claudia followed Varian and the others to Ironforge by subway.

Despite the existence of the subway, the journey still took nearly twelve hours, so that Claudia got up at four o'clock in the morning and arrived at her destination at almost dinner time.

The long journey on the subway is by no means comfortable, but the novelty is enough to make the journey not monotonous, even a girl like Claudia with memories of a past life is shocked, and members such as Segrina who are riding the subway for the first time are even more stunned by the advanced dwarf technology.

Not only is the entire subway road covered with electric lighting, but a large part of the tunnel passes through the seabed, and you can see some strange scenes of the seabed directly through the glass, I really don't know how the gnomes managed to build this tunnel on the bottom of the sea at that time.

In the whole of Azeroth, the highest-tech level is the gnomes and goblins, but the two races have different technological focuses, and both have their own flaws.

For example, the main direction of goblin technology is on all kinds of bombs and explosives, so the goblins' alchemy attainments are generally superb. But the disadvantage of goblin technology is also obvious, that is, it is too easy to explode, but the goblins obviously don't care much about this shortcoming, their mantra is: "Don't worry, man, it must be very reliable to explode." What, it's not a bomb? Well, that's just a small issue, after all, explosions are art, haha. ”

And take the gnomes as an example, they are generally not very interested in alchemy, and their attention is completely on engineering, and the dwarfs have a variety of research directions, although they also have weapons, but the most aspects are daily necessities and various toys, and the side effects of dwarf technology are relatively small, at most all kinds of strange failures that make you cry and laugh, such as a mechanical butler suddenly yelled inexplicably all day: "Hello! Hello! Hello!.... Until you're so noisy that you have to find a way to tear it down and shut it up.

It is precisely because of the technological defects of the two races that only their products with better stability have been popularized and recognized by other races. Without enough engineers and spare parts, it simply can't be circulated, and the repair costs of sending it back to Kozan and Normorigen alone are prohibitively high.

During the journey, after Claudia's excitement had passed, she first watched "The Secret of the Void" for a while, chatted with Varian or Segrina for a while, teased Arcturus for a while, and finally she was bored and sleepy and fell asleep next to Varian for a while, and when she was woken up again, the train had already arrived near Ironforge.

King Magni, who had already learned the news, brought two dwarven guards and was waiting for the visitors of Stormwind City, he was a stout dwarf with red hair and red beard, and the long red beard that hung down to the ground was braided into beautiful big braids, Magni was more than two hundred years old, but the dwarf was a mesozoic species, and he was still in the prime of life in the dwarf age.

Magni strode up to Varian, gave him a warm hug, and then laughed, "Hahaha, Varian, long time no see, welcome to Ironforge, we've got to have a drink tonight." ”

"Magni, I'm glad to meet you, I've brought you some good wine you've never seen before, and you'll love it this time." Varian also smiled in response to Magni, the good wine he was referring to was naturally the Night Elf's fruit wine.

"Haha, Varian, shouldn't the good wine you bring be those fruity bars, to be honest, your human wine is always too light, it doesn't taste good, and you can't enjoy it." Magni laughed at first, then glanced at Varian warily, "You're not allowed to make up the juice tonight, we all have to drink the strongest liquor." ”

"Poof." Claudia on the side couldn't help but laugh when she heard Magni's words, according to her prior understanding, Varian did have this intention before. Although Varian also likes to drink, but he has received an aristocratic education after all, so he has always paid attention to appearance and etiquette, he rarely gets drunk, prefers to drink some fruit wine in moderation, he has always been not very accustomed to the dwarven side of the spirits and the drinking culture of not getting drunk, today he tried to replace part of the spirits at the banquet with dark fruit wine.

"Well, listen to you, Magni." Varian smiled wryly and nodded, he didn't care about Magni's direct pointing, the dwarves were so bold and direct, they wouldn't hide it, and they didn't say anything.

Magni nodded in satisfaction, pulled Varian forward, and said as he walked, "Actually, you can drink fruit wine if you want, we have a new guest in Ironforge recently, and we have made a lot of fruit-flavored spirits, so let's go get two barrels now." ”

"Fruit spirits?" Varian was also interested, "Let's go and have a look." ”

The group began to march towards the Ironforge Square, if it was the uniform pace of royal knights on weekdays, it would definitely arouse the minds of the residents of Ironforge, but today, it seems that the residents of Ironforge are a little smaller? Not only the residents, but also the guards were much less.

"Hahaha, do you know, these two days are a carnival of fine wine! Everyone went to the Grand Place. As if he knew what the human guests were thinking, King Magni laughed and introduced, and the two dwarven guards argued with expectant expressions:

"I bet today it's Graeme Ray who wins, and his spirits are the most famous in all of Kazmodan."

"No, no, Graeme's wine is not as good as Chen's, and this is the first time I've drunk such a flavorful spirit."

Wine party?

Varian and the others were still confused, but soon the group understood what was going on in the introduction of King Magni and the two dwarven guards.

A few months ago, Grim Thunderwine, the master brewer who was out collecting materials, and a few dwarves met a strange race of people who claimed to be Pandaman Chen, who smelled the aroma of Graeme's brewing and wanted to drink some wine.

"Chen?"

Claudia wondered how it sounded so much like her last name from her previous life, but the girl quickly suppressed her doubts and turned her attention back to the dwarves' tales.

Dwarves never refuse brothers who want to drink together, Graemm naturally warmly entertained the panda man, but just when a few people were drunk, Chen suddenly said that he could also make wine, and the brew was no worse than Graemu, then Graemm was not convinced, drunk dwarves have always liked to use fights to resolve disputes, and soon several dwarves swarmed up, and were beaten by Chen Jie.

"How many dwarves can he take down alone?"

Hearing this, Varian was surprised, you must know that although dwarves are generally only one meter three to one meter four in height, their strength is generally much stronger than that of humans, and their muscles are strong and resistant to beating, and that Graeme is also an elite-level warrior, and they were all killed by Chen alone?

Hearing Varian's question, one of the dwarven guards hurriedly argued: "His strength is not much stronger than our dwarves, but his martial arts are too weird. ”

McGoney also said honestly: "Actually, that Chen's strength is just a little worse than mine, and Graeme is naturally not his opponent." ”

Just a little worse than Magni? And the martial arts are eccentric?

Varian, who has always liked martial arts, also said with great interest on his face at this moment: "Then you must have a good look at this Chen." ”

"Hahaha, you won't be disappointed, he is not only good at fighting, but also makes wine that tastes just as good......." Magni and the two dwarven guards burst out laughing and continued the story.

After several dwarves were beaten by Chen and woke up the next day, Grim and several dwarves still refused to accept each other's winemaking skills, you must know that dwarves are a very stubborn race, but Chen refused to admit that he was poor in winemaking, and finally in the case that no one could convince the other party, Graeme proposed that a winemaking competition be held in Ironforge in a few months, and let all the dwarves of Ironforge be the judges to judge who made the better wine.

Two days ago, Chen came to Ironforge Castle with several barrels of his own fruit-brewed spirits as promised, and Grim had already brewed a large number of traditional spirits to wait for him, and the spirits made by the two were all good, and the dwarves' favorite was to drink and fight to see the excitement, so these days a large number of dwarves have gathered in the square, starting a carnival of fine wine, many dwarves have also brought their own wine to let everyone enjoy together, and more dwarves call each other brothers when drinking, and after getting drunk, they will happily dry the fight or watch others fight, which is very lively.

"This is a rare grand occasion, we must take a good look at it, and we will also send the fruit wine we brought for everyone to taste in a while." Varian said with a smile as well.

"Rare? No, no, no," Magni said excitedly, "We dwarves have unanimously decided that this kind of event should only be held once, and every year at this time of year, all of us dwarves in Ironforge will have to sit down to drink and fight together!" ”

The two dwarven guards agreed with their king, the dwarves were enthusiastic and bold, they didn't have much pursuit, and mining, forging, drinking, and fighting were all they had to live.

Soon after, a group of people saw the scene that King Magni had mentioned, many dwarves were hooking their shoulders, holding large wine glasses full of spirits in their hands and shaking and laughing and cheering, many drunken dwarves were singing and dancing with cups in one hand, and from time to time drunk dwarves were fighting with their fists, and the dwarves next to them were watching and cheering, and there was a scene of revelry everywhere.

"Boys, get out of the way, the King and the guests of Stormwind are here, old Tony, you're drunk, my pants aren't towels, get out of the way."

Although many of the dwarves had drunk a lot, they quickly made way when they heard that the venerable King Magni was coming, and Claudia met the Chen.

"Chen is really a panda worthy of the name, but this outfit makes people feel so kind."

Looking at Chen's ancient Chinese dress, Claudia couldn't help laughing.
