Gerard Bard's family made their home in Dunhold. The family now all admired the head of the family's vision: after the massive construction of this place, it would surely become the largest city in Lordaeron. But at the moment the scale of commerce here is still very small, most of the supplies were summoned from Valoran by Lord Jiang, and most of the people here are working to build the city - there are very, very few people engaged in commerce.

Upon discovering this, Bard immediately rented a newly completed five-story commercial building from the government. It is close to the castle lord's mansion and close to the original gladiatorial arena that was converted into a square, so it is certain that it will be the most prosperous area in the future.

After the renovation was completed, he used his previous connections to buy a large amount of wine and delicacies from various merchants in Nanhai Town, and poached the chef of the Nanhai Town Hotel, and opened a tavern here called "Angel's Kiss" tavern.

As he expected, the tavern has been doing well since it opened. The people of Dunhold are not short of necessities, but they are very short of recreational facilities. The workers here do not have to worry about eating and drinking, but they are faced with the dilemma of earning a lot of wages and having nowhere to spend. As soon as the tavern opened, everyone had an entertainment session to drink and chat and enjoy food during the break.

Although many people followed suit and opened a tavern, Angel's Kiss seized the opportunity, and the business has always been the best among its peers.

In the past two days, Tunhold has added another group of minotaurs - the natives of Valoran know their origins, and they have long been surprised. Gerald, who had seen the yodelers as short as the gnomes, thought he had gained knowledge, but when the minotaurs arrived, he was amazed - and refurbished the tavern door and most of the doors inside.

And now it's morning, when the tavern business is at its coldest. Gerald Bard leaned boredly on the bar and wiped his glasses.

"One more bucket!" When Gerald heard the customer's business, he motioned to his son, Hal Bard, to bring the wine. Now this little bunny is a tavern hostess.

Hal struggled to deliver a full barrel of rum to the guest.

It was two guests who shared the wine. One was the Minotaur - the other Minotaurs held him in high esteem, calling him the Chieftain, a hero named Alista. The other man was a sloping captain. His name is Planck, he carries a short gun and a short knife with him, and he is also a hero.

These two men came to the tavern yesterday and have been drinking until now. A full eight barrels of rum have been drunk so far - each containing ten litres of spirits. The scary thing is that these two guys don't look like they're drunk at all. Bard had to send someone to Nanhai Town ahead of time to get more wine back, or God knows if they would have drunk up his stock.

Planck laughed: "Old Niu, I think you still admit defeat." Be my little brother obediently! ”

Alista shot back: "No way, I've never lost a fight for wine - hiccup - to be a little brother is also for you to be my little brother!" ”

"This wine is no different from water to me."

"Then from now on, no one is allowed to go to the toilet, and whoever can't hold back will admit defeat!" Alista stared at Planck.

Planck is a little cowardly, although he can make sure he doesn't get drunk by eating oranges and cheating, eating oranges itself will lead to faster urine. Besides, the old cow is so big, and the bladder must be too big, right?

"Uh-"

"Don't you dare?" The bull's head snorted contemptuously.

"Sun Cai didn't dare! It's kind of a drink for me to get down! Planck said angrily.

So before noon, they decided the winner - who said that a stupid big man like Lao Niu would be upright at first sight? Planck must have put a gun to the head of the man who said this!

……

It's now February. Most of the construction work on the former Dunhold site has been completed, and the rest will be delivered within a week. Some of the second phase is already under construction. That would be an even bigger project, quadrupling the size of the city from what it is today!

Chief Designer, Professor O'Connor Wallis, was very pleased with the new city he and his design team had worked so hard to build, but they now had to accept a new design request: Commander Jiang Weihan received the design of the Flying Castle from Dalaran, and he asked that their city also be able to break away from the gravitational pull of the ground and become a floating city when necessary.

Professor O'Connor has the support of some powerful helpers, including the Lich Karthas, the Dalaran mage Gianna, and the great inventor Heimerdinger.

Fortunately, there was enough room for renovation in the city, and what he needed was to reasonably design the location and purpose of those floating circles. Naturally, a large number of magic craftsmen will complete the specific work.

And as the city was built, more and more people were attracted to it. Poor people who are struggling to live are attracted to the fact that it offers ample food, safe accommodation, and enough work to support their families. Merchants heard that there was a very broad market prospect here, and they also brought a large amount of capital to it; Others are the adventurers, those who aspire to make a mark or seek a future, and who want their talents to be put to good use in this new country.

Zod is an adventurer with such a dream.

He hails from the kingdom of Stormgard in the Arathi Highlands, and was originally a captain officer in Fort Rapids' army. He is two meters tall, muscular, and powerful, and has fought against orcs before and has achieved good feats.

Originally, his future was quite bright, but in the last month or so, Riptide Castle has completely stopped its military operations against the orcs and withdrawn the troops on the front line. The orcs did not come to attack and harass them again. It seems that rumors have spread that the orc chieftain has secretly made peace with the king.

Although some were unhappy with this decision, most of the warriors were reluctant to fight the orcs - the beasts were so powerful and brutal that Stormgard's forces were simply not able to resist their invasion. The previous battles had also resulted in heavy human casualties, while the orcs did not appear to have suffered major losses. Therefore, most people think that it is better to have a truce than to lose their own lives in vain.

But Zod was very anxious: he was the one who fought very strongly. Actually, he didn't hate orcs much, but he really wanted to make a difference.

This qiē is all because of his beloved woman, Yulia, who had saved this beautiful aristocratic lady from the clutches of troll robbers near Bodgor a year earlier. Then, as described in the novel, this young and brave young man fell in love with the beautiful and generous earl's daughter at first sight and fell in love. But Zod is just a commoner, a big-headed soldier, and he doesn't want to climb the threshold of the earl's family in his lifetime, let alone marry the earl's pearl.

Naturally, their love was thwarted by the Earl.

So Zod was bent on climbing up, at least becoming a nobleman - enough to go to the earl's house to propose marriage.

As a soldier, there is only one way to realize this dream, and that is to make war achievements!

Zod is extremely brave in battle, not afraid of death, like crazy on the battlefield, even if he is seriously injured, he will not retreat, and he has survived many times, and others call him "Zod who does not die". Because of this, in just one year, he was promoted to captain, and the rate of climb was quite fast. But this is still indefinite from the threshold of nobility.

Seeing that Yulia was approaching the age of marriage, and that the king had stopped the war against the orcs, Zod was almost in despair.

A few days ago, Yulia secretly ran out to have a tryst with him, and after the two had a passionate relationship, Yulia quietly told him that a powerful neighbor had come to the other side of the Latin Wall. It now belonged to a kingdom called Valoran, ruled by a king surnamed Jiang, and even angels served this king. Now the Warriors are being recruited there, fully prepared for war, to eradicate a very big threat to the Alliance. If Zod wants to make a difference, it's a good place to go.

This news is currently known only to a small number of nobles in Riptide Castle, and Yulia also eavesdropped on it from her father.

The words of the beloved Yulia immediately cleared the clouds for Zod. He began preparations the next day. After abandoning the Yiqiē here, he quietly went to the Earl's Court to meet Yulia privately, and the two parted with tears. Then he took his weapons and rode his own tame velociraptor mount towards Dunhold.

After seeing the outline of Newtonhold from afar, Zod was full of confidence. It seems that Yulia is right, this place was completely razed to ruins by the orcs before, but now it has become an even more majestic city!

"Hey, big one, you're in my way!" Zod was fantasizing that he would make a career here, return to Riptide Castle in the future, marry Yulia, and reach the pinnacle of his life, when a sharp voice sounded behind him.

Zod looked back and spotted their owner, an ugly green-skinned goblin, in the middle of several of them.

"Hey, didn't you hear me? Silly big guy! The goblin was a little angry, "Time is money, you have already made me lose a lot at this moment in a daze, do you understand?" ”

Zod mocked, "Goblin, I can crush your body with one punch. Do you think you'll be able to charge for the big lord here? He leaned on his greatsword and looked down at the goblin.

The goblin rolled his eyes and said sarcastically, "Big one, your muscles have grown into your brain!" Who said I was going to war? I have been invited by the benevolent and wise Lord Jiang here, to sell him one of my great inventions, Goblin Rise-" He gave Zod a suspicious look, "Forget it, you don't understand anyway. Get out of the way, don't delay me to make money! I'm going to buy the whole goblin of the Hillsbrad Hills! ”

-- This goblin is naturally Jikshir who sold him the protective machine when Jiang Weihan first arrived here. When he was in Nanhai Town, he kept hearing about the legend of this lord, and in just over two months, he heard that this great lord who went to work almost empty-handed had built Dunhold, which was in ruins, into an even more prosperous city!

Jikhir happened to have a new invention, and he felt that this high lord was a knowledgeable man, not as ignorant as other humans, ignoring the power of science. So here he came.
