Stopping for a moment in front of the "Donghuang Kendo Alliance Headquarters", Leo took a step and walked into it.

The yin and yang fish pattern on the floor of the hall, although it was not the first sight, still made Leo feel a strong and mellow momentum.

As soon as he entered, a young lady in a cheongsam dressed in the style of ink painting greeted him: "Hello, how can I help you?" ”

"I'm here to go through the formalities of joining the alliance." Leo spoke.

"Accession procedures? You are the swordsman of this national competition, can you tell me your name, I need to check it. ”

"Leo, Muzi Li, the mystery of mystery."

"Okay, please go to the VIP lounge area and wait for a while."

After the ink cheongsam lady finished speaking, she led Leo to the VIP rest area to sit down, and handed over a side of hot tea, and then she turned around and left gracefully.

Sitting on the soft high-end sofa, while waiting, Leo saw the newspaper on the shelf next to him.

With an idea, he picked up several newspapers and read them.

Compared with the mobile phone news of big data real-time monitoring and drainage, he believes that the newspaper reports that maybe the really major news will not be introduced, and there will always be a few words.

His gaze quickly swept over the contents of the newspaper, and soon, Leo found what he was interested in in the corner of the page.

"Recently, a construction site on the outskirts of the imperial capital was affected by thunderstorms, and the circuit explosion caused a large area of fire, for the safety of people's lives, please be sure not to approach, at present, this area is being blocked and repaired, at the same time, a villa in the north 15 districts of the imperial capital has also suffered from this disaster, this newspaper hereby warmly reminds that thunderstorms, residents pay attention to electricity safety......"

"Suburban construction site...... A villa ...... in the North 15th District" Leo chewed on these two places, his eyes slightly condensed.

It's hard to say about the construction site in the suburbs, but a villa in the North 15th District, no matter how you look at it, is talking about the venue where he held the national individual competition of the Underground Swordsman Comprehensive Competition that day.

"I didn't expect that even the Imperial Capital, where the headquarters of the Sword Dao Alliance is located, would not be able to escape the situation of being invaded by the Gray Mist Gate......"

Leo thought silently in his heart.

With the Sword Master in charge, Leo knew that these invading monsters would eventually be repulsed, but in case, the country did not react at the first time and let the monsters rush into the residential area, the casualties and losses caused by that would be incalculable.

For a moment, Leo's heart was a little heavy.

"Dada, Dada......"

At this moment, the footsteps of high heels came from far and near, and Leo raised his head and looked at the figure that appeared in front of him.

It was a woman in a women's suit with neat short to medium hair, who smiled and said enthusiastically, "Are you Mr. Leo?" I have heard your name from Lord Xuanyuan for a long time, and now when I see it, it is really Xuanyu. My name is Lin Miaoxuan, I am the front desk deacon here, I will handle the joining procedures for you and answer your questions, please come with me. ”

Behind the woman in the suit, followed by the ink cheongsam lady just now, who was secretly looking at Leo with curious eyes at the moment.

It was the first time she had seen Deacon Lin so polite to a swordsman other than the Sword Saints.

He must be a very good swordsman, right?

The ink cheongsam lady guessed.

"You're in for it." A polite smile appeared on Leo's face, and he got up and followed Deacon Lin towards the depths of the hall.

As he walked, Deacon Lin was half a body behind Leo, and while leading the way, he smiled and introduced:

"Mr. Leo should be coming to the headquarters for the second time, right?"

"Indeed." Leo nodded, the swordsmen who came to participate in the national competition from the non-imperial capital region, if they came to the headquarters again, were basically the second time. The first time was to take the Sword Stone Challenge, a benefit common to all the undetermined swordsmen who came to participate in the national competition.

"If you have the chance, you can come to the headquarters more often." Deacon Lin smiled: "There is a big ring under the headquarters, and there are many professional swordsmen, and even the Sword Saints show up from time to time. If you are constantly challenged, it will definitely give you some benefit in your swordsmanship. ”

"Big Ring...... Leo nodded, his face showing interest: "I'll definitely come and see it when I have time." ”

Professional swordsman is no longer enough for him today, only the sword master can arouse his interest.

Leo's current strength positioning is very embarrassing, relying on the physical fitness of 5.3 soul fire brightness, as well as one master-level high-level swordsmanship, and three proficient-level advanced swordsmanship, his real combat power far exceeds that of a professional swordsman, but he doesn't know if he can beat the Sword Master.

An ordinary professional swordsman, for him, is a matter of one sword.

This is not an exaggeration, his current physical fitness is stronger than that of the Sword Saint, and the gap between the professional swordsman and him is even greater. There is a huge gap in physical attributes, and no matter how superb the swordsmanship of a professional swordsman is, it is difficult to play a role.

Four taels of a thousand pounds, you also have to have the strength of four taels. What's more, Leo's swordsmanship level at the moment is already comparable to that of a senior professional swordsman, and in terms of technology, he is not lacking.

But even so, in the face of the sword intent mastered by the Sword Master, this kind of bug-level power, before he really fought, he didn't know the bottom in his heart.

There is nothing more clear about his strength positioning than a real battle.

So, Leo is really interested in this big ring.

With this incident firmly in mind, Leo followed Deacon Lin around the hall, and finally came to a reception room that looked very high-standard.

Although he didn't know much about luxury, he could see that the sofas, ornaments, coffee tables and other things in the reception room were not cheap.

At the guest seat, Deacon Lin boiled water to make tea, and after drinking the tea, Deacon Lin smiled and said: "Mr. Leo, your identity plate, uniform and other items are being made and prepared, and they will be sent later. ”

"Does it have anything to do with the gray fog that appeared that day, and the monsters?" Leo asked.

"Yes." The smile on Deacon Lin's face narrowed a little and became solemn: "You have already signed a contract and a confidentiality agreement before, so you have the right to know about this. ”

Leo sat up straight and listened.

"The Gate of Gray Mist, the first time it appeared, was twenty years ago on the outskirts of Mount Tai, a very remote mountain village."

"At that time, the strength of the country in all aspects was far from being as strong as it is now, and it was only barely detecting fleeting electromagnetic fluctuations. Out of an abundance of caution, the local sheriff's office sent personnel to investigate the situation. By the time they arrived at the anomaly, it was already twenty minutes later. ”

"And the scene that caught his eye made several police officers stand on the spot."

"Under the misty gray mist, the corpses all over the ground, the blood stained the earth, and more than 100 people up and down that small mountain village were all slaughtered, even the young children were spared."

Speaking of this, although the expression on Deacon Lin's face did not change much, anger appeared in his eyes.

As long as there is a modicum of conscience and empathy, it is impossible to see such a human tragedy and remain indifferent.

Leo clenched his fists, but didn't bother, but continued to listen.

"The officers of the Public Security Department were furious and reported the information as soon as possible, but found that the mobile phone signal had disappeared strangely, and in desperation, they could only exit the gray fog range first, and only after the signal did they report the situation."

"When the Sheriff's Office learned of the situation, it was furious, and the lives of more than 100 people, the population of a village, were shocking and shocking to the whole country. The intelligence was uploaded layer by layer, and in order to arrest the murderer as soon as possible, the local sheriff's office poured out of the nest, armed with guns and ammunition. ”

"But when the army arrived in the village, they were greeted not by the expected murderers, but by four red-eyed, bloodthirsty and crazy former colleagues."

Deacon Lin showed a little sadness on his face: "The people who encountered the Gate of Gray Mist for the first time did not know the horror of Gray Mist, and it seemed that there was no direct offensive Gray Mist, in fact, it would erode people's hearts at the moment of contact, and those who did not master advanced swordsmanship and other similar skills, and who were new to the power of the mind, had no ability to resist at all, and under the erosion of Gray Mist, they would irreversibly become 'monsters' after a period of time." ”

"In addition, within the scope of the gray fog, unprecedented changes in the electromagnetic and magnetic fields have occurred, making modern electromagnetic weapons completely ineffective, including some high-precision modern tools, even if a car enters the range of the gray fog, it cannot continue to start."

"Later, the state dispatched the army, used primitive kinetic weapons, and paid a great price to kill the invading gray fog monsters, but the four sheriff officers who turned into monsters, and even a dozen people who were eroded into monsters without knowing the characteristics of the gray fog, turned into ashes and died after a few days of being forcibly taken into treatment."

"This is the initial advent of the Gate of Gray Mist in our country, and it is also the beginning of the country's strong support for the inheritance of various cold weapons."

"And swordsmanship, which stands out among many cold weapons, has become the pillar of the country."

"The only responsibility of the swordsmen who join the alliance is to strike when they need to, repel or even kill these monsters that have emerged from the gray mist."

"The swordsman can resist the erosion of the gray mist to a certain extent from the beginning of the Dingduan swordsman, the deeper the swordsmanship, the stronger the spiritual power, and the longer the time it can resist, when it comes to the realm of the Sword Saint, the gray mist can no longer affect them."

"That's all for the general information, Mr. Leo, is there anything you would like to ask? Yes, I'll answer that. Having said so much in one breath, Deacon Lin exhaled deeply, calmed down, put a smile on his face again, and looked at Leo.

Leo did not speak immediately, but fell silent.

In the dream world, the gray fog that only obstructed the vision became so terrifying in this world.

It will not only cause electromagnetic disorder, cause the failure of modern electromagnetic equipment and weapons, but also erode ordinary people into monsters.

Wait, erosion into monsters! And those who turn into monsters will turn into ashes and die in a few days! Plus red eyes, bloodthirsty madness......

Leo Tong Kongmeng's contraction.

Isn't this the same characteristic that monsters that have been eroded by distortion?

Gray fog, is it one of the propagation paths of aberration?

Thinking of the gray mist clouds above the sky of the dream world, where the boundary could not be seen at a glance, Leo shuddered.

In the dream world, what has become of Gaard, outside of the city of York, and even the country where the city of York is located? Has that world been completely reduced to a dead realm?

At this moment, Leo was distraught.

"Mr. Leo, Mr. Leo, are you alright?" Seeing Leo's face suddenly become a little pale, Deacon Lin spoke up worriedly.

Could it be that it was the truth of the gray fog that scared him? It shouldn't be.

"I'm fine." Leo took a deep breath, suppressed the chaotic and complicated emotions in his heart, and bowed his head apologetically towards Deacon Lin opposite: "I'm sorry, I was a little distracted just now. ”

"I have a question for you."

"You say." With a smile on the corner of his mouth, Deacon Lin sat up straight with his upper body, and his two long legs wearing matte black silk were close together, without a single gap.

"That day, I saw a monster coming out of the gray fog in the underground arena, and I also fought with him, with such terrifying strength, does it really make sense for a Dingduan swordsman to join the battle?" Leo asked, puzzled.

It's not that he looks down on the Dingduan swordsman, excluding outliers like him, the normal Dingduan swordsman, the physical attribute is less than 2.0, and the advanced swordsmanship is only about the first to the second sword skills, such strength, said to be cannon fodder, is a little raised.

"Mr. Leo, I think you may have misunderstood." Deacon Lin shook his head: "Not all the monsters that come out of the Gray Mist Gate are as terrifying as the strength of an A-level silver-white knight. ”

"This should have been explained to you by the captain of the squad after you, but since you have already mentioned it, it doesn't hurt for me to let me know in advance."

"The Gray Mist Gate has levels, from high to low, they are S, A, B, C, D five levels, and the Gray Mist Gate you encountered that day is the A-level Gray Mist Gate."

"The D-class Gray Mist Gate needs to be dispatched by the Dingduan Swordsman Squad, and with the cooperation of the local sheriff's office, it can be solved."

"The C-level Gray Mist Gate needs to be led by a professional swordsman, plus the local security department, and it can basically be handled properly."

"The B-level Gray Mist Gate requires a professional swordsman squad to be dispatched to link up with the regional army to lay various kinetic energy and even gunpowder weapons in advance."

"And when it comes to the A-level ......," Deacon Lin paused: "The A-level Gray Mist Gate is a qualitative change, the monsters that appear inside are terrifyingly powerful, and the professional swordsman is not one of them. ”

"It's basically impossible to kill, unless there are more than one Sword Saint Masters involved at the same time, there is hope."

"As for the S-class ......," Deacon Lin shook his head: "Since the Gray Mist Gate first came, the S-Class Gray Mist Gate has only appeared once in my Donghuang Alliance. The specifics are top secret and I have no right to know. But what I do know is that in order to solve that S-rank Gray Mist Gate, the Kendo Alliance sacrificed at least five Sword Saint Masters. ”

"At least five Juggernauts died?!" Leo gasped.

The strength of the Sword Master, he still has a number.

The scene of the old man of the Tuoba Army was just a test, and he couldn't see anything at all.

But Xuanyuan Qingping was different this time, Xuanyuan Qingping, who was trying her best to promote sword intent, was able to suppress the knight of Lan Luoyinsi, who could not use magic power, in a short period of time. If there were other Sword Saints at that time, even if they were as strong as the Lan Luo Yin Si Knights, they would have to be repulsed, and if there were a few more Sword Saints, they could even leave the Lan Luo Yin Si Knights there.

It's hard to imagine how powerful the monster that walked out of the S-class Gray Mist Gate was!

However, after Deacon Lin's introduction, Leo almost knew the strength positioning of the monsters coming out of the Gray Mist Gate.

D-level may be a deformed big dog, a farmer monster or something like that, C-level can be compared to the Lenloys trainee knight, B-level should be similar to the Knight of Yoel, and A-level is a transcendent who has mastered magical powers!

Or to put it another way, D-rank = gray-white level monsters, C-rank = light gray level monsters, B-level = dark gray monsters, and A-class = pure white level monsters.

By analogy, isn't the S-class monster pure white? What a terrible existence that is.

Leo sighed in his heart, and then suddenly remembered what Deacon Lin had just said, and immediately asked: "Deacon Lin, what did you just say, what do you mean by the long-range weapon attack attached to the spiritual power of the professional swordsman?" ”

Hearing this, Deacon Lin sighed: "Actually, this is also a helpless move, as a swordsman, he can't repel the enemy with the sword in his hand, for them, perhaps, it is a shame." ”

"Gray fog monsters below the A level, bullets and gunpowder can cause damage to them, although there will be a certain reduction when penetrating the gray fog, but it is still very considerable. But when it comes to Class A, it's completely different, and these weapons can't even break through the defense. ”

"Only when a professional swordsman consumes almost all of his psychic power and attaches to a special anti-materiel sniper bullet can he break the defense, although it can't do much damage, but it can interfere with the monster's actions and create opportunities for the Sword Masters to fight head-on."

"A-class monsters, whatever they are, are terrifying." Speaking of this, Deacon Lin glanced at Leo, and a look of surprise flashed in the depths of his eyes.

When she first saw Leo's information, she couldn't believe that this boy, who looked so young, had joined hands with Lord Xuanyuan Qingping to repel the A-level silver-white knight.

Although he was the winner of the national individual competition, this is an exaggeration.

You know, he's just a swordsman for a fixed stage.

Of course, those who can participate in the national competition can basically be regarded as fixed-stage swordsmen, but they don't have a certificate.

But this ...... Either way, it still shocked her.

At this moment, Leo was in deep thought because of what Deacon Lin had just said.

Psychic power, which can also be attached to ranged weapons to attack?

It was a path he hadn't envisioned before.

In fact, it is understandable when you think about it.

The physique of a professional swordsman is similar to that of the Knight of Joel, and in the face of an A-level gray mist monster of at least 5.0 or above, I am afraid that it will be difficult to take even one move.

Not every swordsman has a physique like Leo who can withstand the load brought by the stacking of so many sword skills.

In terms of the physical strength of professional swordsmen, they can only withstand the superposition of 3 sword skills at most, and if they do more, their bodies will not be able to support it, and their hearts will burst and die.

Even if it is a sword master, in fact, in terms of physical strength, it is not much stronger than a professional swordsman, the strength of the sword master is strong in the power of the soul, and it is strong in the attainment of swordsmanship.

In the following time, Leo chatted with Deacon Lin for a long time, asking a lot of details, until there was a knock on the door, and a staff member brought in a few things.

"Mr. Leo, this is all the supplies you have in place. One of the most important is this smart terminal. Deacon Lin picked up something exactly like a smartphone and introduced:

"Unlike traditional mobile phones on the market, this smart terminal has been bound to your information, and you need to verify your iris every time you turn it on."

"Its strength is very high, violent collisions, high temperatures below 500 degrees, extremely cold minus 100 degrees, strong acids and alkalis, and other harsh external environments, will not be damaged, its built-in chip, is connected to the intranet of the Donghuang Kendo Alliance, through this smart terminal, you can view all kinds of information, exchange all kinds of items with meritorious deeds, etc., specifically, there is a manual inside, you can go back and check carefully."

"By the way, your previous exploits with Lord Xuanyuan Qingping to repel the A-level gray mist monster, as well as the 500w alliance coin bonus of the national individual competition, have been bound to the personal information of the smart terminal, and you can check it later."

"And this."

Deacon Lin picked up a set of folded swordsman clothes and introduced: "This is a swordsman suit made of polymer composite materials for you, because of the special material, it can greatly cushion the impact received, and it also has good resistance in the face of slashing attacks, which is a very precious clothing." ”

Leo didn't ask stupid words like "Is this the standard configuration for joining the Kendo Alliance", he didn't have to think about it to know that this was the tilt of the Donghuang Kendo Alliance towards his resources.

"And these thirty spiritual extracts." Deacon Lin opened a silver metal potion box, and the surging ice mist dispersed, revealing ten potions neatly arranged inside.

There are three copies of such a potion box.

Seeing the spiritual extract, Leo's eyes lit up.

That's a good thing!

When the brightness of the soul fire was more than 3 o'clock, he swallowed a bottle, which not only restored his vitality instantly, but also did not need to eat again for two days, he only needed to drink water normally.

For Leo today, eating is also a matter of distress to him.

With the calories contained in ordinary food, if you want to support his body strength of 5.3 soul fire brightness, he needs to eat a lot of food, and after eating once, he is also very hungry, which will waste a lot of time.

He had only finished breakfast not long ago, and he was already feeling protest in his belly.

And with the spiritual extract, he has no worries about this aspect, and he can focus his time on improving his swordsmanship.

The smart terminal, the special swordsman suit, and the Thirty Spiritual Extract are placed in a small storage box.

Leo stretched out his hand to take it, his brows and eyes showing satisfaction.

After giving Leo the basic information and completing all the formalities for him, Deacon Lin took his leave, and before leaving, she left a business card for Leo and said that she could call at any time if necessary.

After that, Leo was the only one left in the living room.

Lying on the soft sofa, Leo breathed a long sigh of relief.

The news he heard today had a great impact on his mind.

After a while, after calming down, he curiously picked up the smart terminal, ready to see how many merit points he had, and what good things could be exchanged for merit points that could improve his strength.

No matter what, improving your strength is always a good choice.
