Wine is a relatively expensive luxury product in an era of insufficient productivity.
This is a very realistic truth.
When people in a country are growing a large amount of food to fill their stomachs, how many people have the extra energy and resources to make wine?
The wealthy Quel'Thalas has this confidence, and can produce a large amount of fine wine for the people of the country to enjoy while ensuring an adequate supply of food.
Unlike dwarves who only like strong wine, the drinks in Quel'Thalas are mostly fruit wine, especially grape wine.
The territory of Valeera's main family, the Sangunar family, used to grow grapes, but it was recently converted to horse breeding in order to support the construction of the Morning Frontier Legion.
This change in business type actually made the Sangunar family make a lot of money.
The Morning Herald performed well in the Battle of Zul'Aman, and the Paladins, who were both powerful and beautiful, attracted the favor of many high elves.
After Liadrin released the news about the expansion of the Morningfront Legion's recruitment, a large number of high elves who did not have the qualifications to be mages hurried to the Morningfront Military Camp on the outskirts of Silvermoon City to sign up.
With the expansion of Paladin recruitment, the issue of mounts has also been put on the agenda.
As the only territory in Quel'Thalas that currently raises unicorns, the Sangunar family has naturally become a favorite.
The fertility rate of unicorns is low, and it will take at least several years to raise the next batch of ponies. The existing mature unicorns are extremely precious.
The Sangunar family has received exclusive permission from the Sun King, and only they are qualified to capture wild unicorns throughout the Yongsong Forest.
After being tamed by the Sangunar family horse herders, the wild horses will be sold to the Morning Frontier Legion, and the money will be paid directly by the Sunstrider royal family.
This monopoly business has attracted the attention of nobles and wealthy merchants in Quel'Thalas. Recently, many nobles have used their personal connections to put pressure on the Silver Moon Council, hoping to get a share of the breeding of the unicorn.
soup.
But the Sangunar family also said that before the appearance of the high elf paladins, the unicorns did not attract much attention. If they were raised in the wild, the number was not large, and their family could fully eat them.
If the business is divided into pieces by various major families before the business is fully developed, it will definitely be detrimental to the further development of the Chenfeng Legion.
After discussions between the Silver Moon Council and the Sun King, the Anasterian Protector issued the order.
Before the new generation of unicorns raised on a large scale grows up, no family is allowed to reach out to the Sangunar family. Violators will be severely punished by the Silver Moon Council and the Sunstrider royal family.
The topic is a bit off topic, let’s get back to the topic.
In Nuoda's Yonge Forest, the Sangunar family will certainly not be the only ones growing grapes for winemaking. After all, this is not a difficult technical job.
The pleasure-loving high elves have a terrible consumption of wine. There are a large number of territories in the north and south of the forest where they grow various fruits for wine making.
With the support of many references from netizens in other worlds, Sarlayan did not want to fight to the death with those wine merchants on the same track. He decided to find another way to open up the top wine market that currently does not exist in Quel'Thalas.
This is the magic wine that the children of the night have enjoyed for many years.
High elves can directly ingest the magic power of the Sunwell in the air, which is more convenient and faster than the method of brewing magic power into wine by the children of the night, but it is a bit tasteless for those upper-class people who like to pay attention to style.
Sarlayan focused on the market of this upper class. He made a special trip to Suramar and learned from the local wineries under the introduction of Elisande.
Sarlayan didn't just set out on this trip alone. Through Valeera's relationship, he hired a group of skilled brewing craftsmen from the Sangunar family.
Due to the change in the Sangunar family's main business direction, these brewing craftsmen were unemployed at home.
With the unemployment benefits provided by the state, their daily lives are not a problem, but people who are used to being busy will feel increasingly uncomfortable when they are suddenly idle for a long time.
In the words of Danmu, after working (study) for a long time, I want to take a vacation, and after a long vacation, I want to go to work (study) again.
This is one of the bad qualities that mortals have had since ancient times. What is not available is the best.
It is almost certain that Valeela will become one of the mistresses of the Deep Shadow family in the future.
As both die-hard royals and noble families that rose up in the Troll War, Deep Shadow and Sangunar had a very good relationship to begin with, and they would even get closer in the future.
The contemporary Baron Sangunar agreed to Saryan's request without saying a word, and generously transferred the brewing craftsmen raised by the Sangunar family to Saryan for employment.
After signing a strict confidentiality agreement with these skilled craftsmen, Sharlayan took them to Suramar, the Pearl of the Night, allowing them to see a broader world.
The brewing method of magic wine is actually not difficult. The high elves just didn't think of this concept before, and no one could easily let the Sun King relent and open up the magic power of the Sun Well to supply the wine.
And these prerequisites can be met by Sarlayan.
With the precious baby dragons he brought back to Quel'Thalas, even if he asked Anasteria to take a bath in the sunwell, the old king would probably nod in agreement after a moment of consideration.
Anastria had already tasted the high-end magic wine presented by Elisande, and it was no surprise that he became very interested in this more tasteful way of ingesting magic power.
As Elisande said, the magic wine did not allow Anasteria to obtain the blessing of the Nightwell, and his vitality was still slowly draining away.
After tasting the delicious magic wine, the Sun King, as a connoisseur of pleasure, looked down upon the original "rude" way of ingesting magic power.
There is no Nightwell in Quel'Thalas, but there is the Sunwell, which is more useful. What is missing is the corresponding magic processing and brewing skills.
Sarlayan, who has a wide range of contacts, just made up for this shortcoming. Under the guidance of experts sent by Elisande, the group of skilled brewing craftsmen quickly mastered the essence.
Before the notice from Wyrmrest Temple was delivered, the first batch of magic wine brewed from the magic power of the Sunwell was delivered to the Sunstrider Court, and received unabashed praise from Anasteria.
Compared with the slightly cold magic aura of the Night Well, the magic of the Sunwell is warmer and softer, and is more suitable for high elves who are accustomed to this style of magic.
After receiving praise from the greatest connoisseurs of pleasure, the brewing craftsmen of the Earldom of Deep Shadow were greatly encouraged and began to produce the highest-end magic wine exclusively for the upper classes.
Since the Sun King personally endorsed and advertised the product, Magic Wine aroused a wave of expectations even before it was launched on the market.
Upon its release, the first batch of Sunwell's version of Magic Wine sold out quickly.
Nobles who claim to be upper-class people can't put it down for the soft and delicious magic wine. If someone's banquet does not include a few bottles of magic wine, they will be secretly laughed at by other nobles in private.
With the rapid accumulation of funds, Sarlayan continued to expand the size of Unicorn Village aggressively, and now it has the prototype of a small town.
While the Earldom of Deep Shadow was busy making money from top to bottom, there was finally new news about Longmian Temple, which had been waiting for a long time.
…
"No one from the Dragon King will participate?"
Through the remote communication channel established by Stellagosa and Elecgos, Sharlayan learned about the dragon clan's expedition lineup.
The bronze dragon king Nozdormu is missing. The blue dragon king Malygos, the red dragon queen Alexstrasza and the green dragon queen Ysera are not planning to participate in this expedition, leaving the opportunity to fight Hela to their juniors.
They sharpen.
The blue dragon's side was of course led by Arygos, accompanied by Kalecgos and the recently captured Azuregos.
The red dragons, green dragons and bronze dragons are also personally led by their respective crown princes Karen, Melinsela and Anachronos, and core members of the new generation of each race voluntarily participate.
Although there is no Dragon King to lead the team, the lineup is already luxurious enough.
By the way, Sinestra and Onyxia finally convinced Abyssian through hard work.
In this expedition to Stormheim, Ebyssian and Onyxia will also participate on behalf of the black dragons, while Sinestra and other dragon backbones will stay in Dragonblight to assist the black dragons in purifying dragon eggs.
Considering the tragedy of the Quicksand War a thousand years ago, the Dragon Kings were still a little worried about their children, worried that they would impulsively make big news again.
In view of this, Krasus, the lubricant caught between the two generations of dragons, was sent to supervise the army.
When necessary, he has the right to open the portal directly to Longmian Temple and shake people.
This is a last resort insurance. If no unexpected big trouble occurs, 99% of the time it will not be used. After all, the main purpose of this expedition is to train the younger generation.
The expeditionary force of Wyrmrest Temple will go directly to Stormheim. Sarlayan set off first to the Broken Islands, communicated with Senegos, and asked him to temporarily restrain his dragon babies.
"snort!"
Senegos lay in the cave full of magic crystals and snorted disdainfully: "Is that old stubborn Malygos still dissatisfied? Okay! I want to see how long he can keep his stubbornness."
"Salay'an, little Xingxing, go help those juniors who have higher eyesight to find out what's going on."
"Don't leave any chance for the cunning Hela to make a comeback. We must release Odin from the Hall of Valor!"
