Chapter 159: Furstad

After the meeting at Lordaeron, Kael'thas and the others received an invitation from Lord Furstad, the ruler of the Hammer Dwarves, to fly directly to Hinterland in the griffons they provided.

Originally, Hinterland was surrounded by mountains, and there was no special road to get there, so it was best to be able to get there by griffon.

As for the carriages, they had already been sent back to Quel'Salas by a few elves.

The ornate carriage was said to have been personally selected for him by Kael'thas mother, so it could not be discarded.

The Griffin is a hippogriff-like winged creature that is inherently righteous and averse to evil, and is the Alliance's faction flying mount in the game.

But fundamentally, griffons are not mounts for humans, but for brute-hammer dwarves.

In fact, the Griffons are mounts bred by the Hammer Dwarves, and they are also the Alliance's air force providers in this war.

After the end of the war, the creature was promoted as an aerial mount for the entire Alliance.

"Your Highness Kael'thas, how do our griffons compare to your dragon eagles?"

Lord Furstad asked with Kael'thas on his shoulder, looking proud, and in an urn voice.

This is not to be proud, now on this road, there are only two races with aerial mounts, one is the High Elves and the other is the Brute Hammer Dwarf.

Even his countrymen, the dwarves of Ironforge, had never mastered the technique.

"Well, it's stronger and more stable than our dragon eagle"

The swift wind blew Kael'thas hair backwards, and his high ears were buzzed by the whirring wind.

He heard Furstad's words, and shifted his body, feeling the perfect stability brought by the wide back of the griffin below:

"However, our dragon eagles need to be lighter and more flexible."

Kael'thas said with his mouth cocked.

The positioning of the dragon eagle and the griffin is different, and the physical conditions of the dwarves and elves themselves are also different, and this answer is also pertinent.

"Hahaha!"

Furstad couldn't help but laugh, he liked the answer.

It's different from human beings who either praise or belittle, or are weird

While identifying with each other, Kael'thas did not forget to show his superiority, which was in line with his opinion of the High Elves.

It's a proud race, but to their taste, but it can be a true friend

What is even more rare is that they have the same attitude towards many natural problems.

It is not to destroy nature, it is not to worship nature blindly, both races love nature, and will change nature without destroying it

"Does Your Highness drink alcohol? Come to Hinterland to have a few drinks with us, in our race, 8-year-olds learn to drink!! ”

Furstad asked happily aloud.

If there's one thing he doesn't like about the High Elves, it's the amount of alcohol they drink.

This group of delicate elves, who seem to have no interest in wine in general, makes him regretful.

"I haven't touched that thing, but I can try it."

Kael'thas wasn't very interested in wine, but he didn't refuse.

He understands that even if you can't drink, the dwarven rulers are willing to invite you to drink, and that means they recognize you.

It's better not to say no at will

"Haha, Your Highness is really refreshing! Just like Ms. Aurelia! ”

Furstad smiled and exclaimed, and Aurelia had replied to him the same way during his first encounter with the High Elves.

Surprisingly, the lady had never been exposed to alcohol, but she drank so much that countless dwarves were willing to bow down.

[I wonder if His Royal Highness Kael'thas is like her?] 】

Furstad's heart suddenly became anticipatory, and he completely left behind the unhappiness caused by the two-day meeting.

As a member of the Alliance, he was to arrive in Lordaeron before Kael'thas did.

Moreover, it should be said that since a few years ago, he has been helping the humans of the alliance to train griffin knights.

Furstad doesn't have a good impression of humanity, and although most of their leaders are approved by him, human society is too chaotic, too cunning and unpleasant.

He still believes that humanity is righteous and firmly united. But they also possess many evils that displease him.

So, Furstad and his people stayed on their own land, keeping their distance from humanity. The reason why they didn't have a road to Hinterland was because they wanted to keep their traditions alive.

If roads and communication were opened, Furstad feared that the large number of humans would make his people even more selfish.

The High Elves are different

They are even more popular with the Hammer Dwarves than their brethren at Ironforge.

For the past few years, Cynsalo and the surrounding areas have been overseen by them and placed under the hands of the trolls, while the western part of Hinterland has become the territory of the Hammer Dwarves, and the eastern coast has been given to the High Elves.

Despite this, the dwarves occupy nearly half of the land, the trolls also have two-fifths, and the High Elves seem to have no ambition and ask for not much land.

Surprising results

If humans come, even if it is an alliance, it is estimated that the Brutehammer Dwarves will not get much land.

The High Elves are too disinterested for these things, but that doesn't mean they're stupid.

It was clear to Furstad that in the past few years of interaction between the two races, the High Elves had traded countless magical gadgets for some of their mature building skills.

The elves may not be worse than the goblin destroyers in business.

Of course, Furstad turned a blind eye to them who had given him great help, and even if the elves took the technology, they would only build their own city in the high mountains of Quel'Salas, and would not affect the Hammer Dwarves.

While most of the magic items obtained by the Hammer Dwarves are ornamental names and meaningless toys, there are also some useful things like magic lamps and automatic detectors.

In general, it is a win-win situation.

"It's almost there, Your Highness, do you want to come to our city first?"

Furstad asked, looking at the mountains in the distance.

"So fast?"

Kael'thas was a little surprised, it's only been a few hours?

However, even if the roads are straight, it is not surprising that flying mounts are several times faster than those on land.

He turned his head to look around and behind him.

Under the clear blue sky, countless griffons flew in the shape of umbrellas, carrying dwarves and their compatriots.

Sylvanas and Aurelia were led by two dwarven maidens and flew 10 meters behind them.

"You'd better send us to the beach first, and I'll take care of some things first."

After thinking about it, Kael'thas said to Furstad.

"Good!"

Vorstad raised his hand and made a gesture, and the troops in the entire sky immediately changed formation and flew towards Hinterland at a faster speed.
