To the south of the circular government affairs square, there is a wide street, some houses have closed doors, and some have various curtains hanging outside to remind them that they are shops and the like.

The grocery store mentioned by Fat San was not on this side, and after Fang Yuchen walked out of a narrow alley, he wandered out of the street on the other side without hurry.

Although Xijiang City is one of the county-level towns in the Bianyun Kingdom, due to the not beautiful environment, many players have chosen to leave here one after another in the week after the game officially opened.

In addition, today is the day when the battle for the southern stronghold begins, and the Xijiang City at this time seems to be very empty and deserted.

These streets, located not far from the government affairs hill platform, are obviously the main traffic roads in Xijiang City. The ground was dusty and the square stones were piled up tightly and thickly, and Fang Yuchen glanced at it, and under the chandelier hanging from the long pole on the roadside, he vaguely saw some grooves suspected to be used for drainage.

Most of the buildings on both sides of the street are one- or two-storey, and it is more common that the bottom is made of brick and stone in a square, and the top is a circular second floor made of wood.

At this time, if you look down the street, you can still see these circular second floors, with round windows open, and most of them are softly lit. Perhaps due to the relative oppression of the environment, most of the NPCs who live in Xijiang City rarely move.

Although their consciousness seems to have been affected slightly, and they have never seen anything like rejection of players from other worlds, they are not too active in the player's world.

While looking at these lights, Fang Yuchen suddenly remembered that when he was in the government affairs hall before, there was a player who muttered that he had offended the chief scholar of the Xijiang City government, and he would be punished to the east to mine or something. In fact, this is also one of the special backgrounds of Xijiang City.

The environment of Xijiang City is generally gloomy, almost 24 hours a day, and it seems to be surmised from Yan Yunzi's tone that this may be because the crack in the ground of the Demon Continent Eventis once leaked in the western part of Bianyun. A large amount of dark matter and demonic energy from the sub-demon realm poured into the western part of Bianyun, resulting in the unique geographical environment of several cities in the western part of Bianyun, such as Xijiang City and Youyuan City in the south.

This dim environment also makes the main area of Xijiang City almost unlit day and night. When it comes to the lighting tools in the world of misfortune, the most convenient ones are naturally the magic lighting beads made of light and fire elements. But this magic lighting tool is not expensive, and it cannot be used as the main lighting tool in this world.

In addition to these, there are also some special monster torsos, skin oils or special vegetable oils, etc., which can be used to make lighting tools. And in this world, there is a very special material that is also included in this use. That's it – saltpeter.

The reason why the western region of Bianyun has not been abandoned by the human kingdom here under the influence of the leakage of the Demon Continent is inseparable from the large amount of rich mineral materials in the surrounding area. In the past of the Xijiang Passage Bridge, on the Xijiang Plain to the east, there are a large number of mines controlled by the Bianyun Kingdom.

Saltpeter, which is one of the materials used in the research and development of some lighting tools in Xijiang City, is also mined here.

While thinking about the content spread by the players in the forum who were very interested in the background of the "game world", Fang Yuchen suddenly raised his head. I saw the soft yellow light shining not far away, and a curved blue lacquer chandelier was particularly conspicuous in the normal long-pole chandelier around.

He looked at the shop behind the blue lacquer curved chandelier, and a single-storey house was interspersed with several shops around it.

At the top of the shop, a gray curtain obscures obscured the view, and a figure could be seen swaying through the soft light inside.

Fang Yuchen didn't say anything, and took a few steps forward to open the door curtain.

The store space is not very spacious, with a long wooden counter on the right hand and two shelves displaying goods against the wall on the left. At this time, there was a man wearing leather gear in black and gray tones, looking at something on the cargo rack with his back to Fang Yuchen. On his head, there is only a simple white name - "Dark Blade".

As if vaguely hearing some unusual movements, the man stopped looking at the cargo and turned around.

It was an extremely ordinary-looking face, not remarkable except for a somewhat keen gaze. The slightly vicissitudes of life look like he is about twenty-seven or eighteen years old.

Fang Yuchen smiled slightly, and before he could speak, the man suddenly smiled and said, "You are our new vice president "Duli" yesterday, right?" ”

"Oh? Do you know me? Fang Yuchen's face remained unchanged, he lowered half of the curtain and entered inside.

He just said this casually, in fact, he was not strange in his heart. Although Fat San asked him to report his name after meeting, the other party was clear. But it is clear that this is not an ancient period that cannot be discerned by appearance at all, and can only be judged by codes. Fat San only needed to distribute the picture of Fang Yuchen's appearance that he inadvertently intercepted to the people below, and naturally it was all clear.

The masculinity of the name "Dark Blade" looks calm, which does not match his character's name. Putting the sculpture he was holding back on the shelf, Darkblade turned around and smiled, "This is not the place to talk. Wait a minute, I'll close the shop, and I'll take you to the place where the stronghold is fighting. ”

Fang Yuchen was a little surprised, in just two sentences, he could already see that this man's demeanor looked very decent, and he was also talking calmly. Such an unfazed character, even if his own ability is insufficient, is definitely comparable to this more prominent position than the "dark whistle". As a result, when the main force of Seibu is all out to fight for the stronghold, he will be idle here to be a "dark whistle"?

Just imagine, if Fang Yuchen didn't plan to come to the government affairs hall today, maybe this man would have stayed in this shop all day?

However, he didn't show much on his face, nodded and said, "Okay." ”

After leaving the storefront, Fang Yuchen stood on the side of the street, and occasionally saw some players wandering around in a hurry than him. There was even a team of male and female players who stayed on the other side of the street and watched the scene of the Darkblade closing the shop for a while.

The so-called closure of the shop was somewhat unexpected by Fang Yuchen, and some made him laugh dumbly. It's not like other game features, you just need to move your mind and you can do anything or anything like that - Darkblade is really closing the shop with his hands!
