The dark jungle is also known as the "Black Forest" by the locals, and the river that flows out of the Black Forest is also known as the Black Water River. Dragons and dogs, perhaps dating back to ancient times dating back to the Age of the Gods, many pioneers established settlements on both sides of the Blackwater River. Many years passed, settlements became villages, villages became small towns, and finally small towns became cities again. Of course, there may never be any more possibilities for the city to become a city.

Because the Heishui River flows through the city, the city has "Heiman", a name that is full of immediacy and slots in Lu Xi's opinion.

Blackman City is the northernmost city of the Oakland Empire, and it takes less than a day to the north to enter the Dark Forest, and two days to the east to enter the territory of the Duchy of Greer.

Although nominally part of the Empire, it is a Dominion. The Imperial Springs had all but relinquished their rule over the area, stationing only a garrison of no more than two hundred men to protect the only Imperial government department in the area, a tax office. In fact, from a military point of view, the real northern frontier of the empire is the Eagle Rudder City, which is three days to the south.

It was a transportation hub in the last era, and it did prosper for a while, but with the rise of maritime trade and the construction of several southern gallop roads, the commercial value of Blackman City has been as shaky as the federal government's approval rating.

"It's not as good as Ringu Town." Lu Xi looked at the broken low city wall and the broken gate, and made such a judgment in his heart.

In fact, Black Man City is an old trading city after all, and even if it declines, its population and area far exceed that of the new Lingu City, which is inhabited by human elves. However, as the "Goddess of Ringu", Lu Xi still supports her brainless fans in her heart.

"By the way, Second Lieutenant Hassan." Lu Xi asked, "Our large army should have arrived first, right?" Where are we going to meet them? ”

"Captain Grimmar will pick us up himself." Hassan replied. He hesitated, lowered his voice and said, "Sir, from now on, please stop calling me a second lieutenant, and I won't call you a sergeant again." This city is a city of adventurers, so we're just ordinary adventurers now, you know? ”

Lu Xi was slightly stunned, and just as he was about to say something, a small group of five or six adventurers walking on the side of the road came into view.

These men were clad in a variety of leather armor and cloaks, carrying swords and bows and arrows, and carrying bulging bits and pieces of bedding on their backs. Their clothes and armor are shabby, but all of them have a fierce and wild air in their bones, like a pack of hyenas roaming the wasteland.

Lu Xi watched the adventurers talk and laugh past him, and nodded to Hassan clearly.

In the last era, Black Man City was one of the most famous transportation hubs on the mainland, and in this era, what kept him barely maintaining the dignity of a city was the vast primeval forest in the north, the dark jungle.

When the Age of the Gods was still known as the "Land of Eternal Green", the Dark Forest was the birthplace of an elegant and prosperous elven civilization. However, after the battle of the ancient gods, the ancient gods with godheads were divided into two factions, the Holy Spirit and the Demon God, and it was difficult for them to come to the mortal world in their true bodies. The giant civilization disappeared, the dragon civilization collapsed, and the elven civilization was naturally not spared.

Most of the fish beams that grew in the "Land of Eternal Green" were destroyed in the battle between Nafra, the first generation of plague god "Queen of Rot", and Elune, the goddess of life. The "Queen of Rot" fell in the Great War, and half of her godhead was later acquired by the Lich King Kazan, and the goddess of life was also devastated, and escaped into her own kingdom of God, where she could only influence the mortal world with her spirit.

What broke the elves' hearts even more was that it was no longer the beautiful and tall fish beams and trees that grew in the messy "Eternal Green Land" after the war, but the eerie and bloodthirsty carnivorous plant "Navra Tree", also known as the Black Blood Banyan that seemed to be cursed by the shattered body and soul of the demon god. …,
