The dragon is coming.
The hot spring town of the Calvard Republic, the ancient enemy of the Erebonia Empire for hundreds of years.
Oddly enough, throughout Semlia, regardless of region or race, there are always a group of people who are particularly fond of hot springs, so much so that every country has such a "hot spring town".
For example, Yumir of the Empire and Yalmo of Liber.
However, compared with these two "pure" hot spring towns, Longlai's positioning is more special.
Not only does it have high-quality natural hot springs, it is also the vital eastern gateway to Karvad.
In the West Samlian continent, Kalvard is located on the east side, and its eastern portal is naturally the intersection of the entire Samlian continent from east to west.
Therefore, no matter in terms of scale, flow of people, or other aspects, it cannot be compared to "small rural towns" such as Youmil and Yalmo.
As the saying goes, if the forest is big, there are all kinds of birds, but if there are too many people, it will be the same.
No matter from which level you look at it, this is a veritable place of hidden dragons and crouching tigers.
Similar to Youmil, Longlai is also a mountain town, built on the mountains, but the adjacent mountains are more famous. The world-famous spiritual vein, called the Dragon Vein in the East - "Kunlun", has been accompanied by various legends since ancient times and is full of legends. color.
Legend has it that there is a real dragon on Kunlun Mountain, hence the name "Dragon Lai".
There are also legends that there is a fairyland on Kunlun Mountain, which is full of rare and strange animals, spiritual fruits and fairy grass.
There are also legends that there is an immortal living in seclusion in the Kunlun Mountains. More than one person has witnessed the immortal's grace, either suddenly appearing or dancing with a sword in his unparalleled style.
Zero, zero, total, and so on.
Real dragons and fairyland are too elusive to describe for now, but the legend of immortals is indeed true.
Dressed in flowing white clothes.
A head of loose silver hair.
A sword with brilliant aura.
under the tree.
On the cliff.
Facing the wind and the moon, dance.
Sword dance!
As graceful as a startled dragon, graceful as a wandering dragon.
Although there was only one person with one sword, the sword light filled all directions.
What is even more surprising is that such a sharp sword light did not make a too violent sound of breaking the wind.
This is something that can only be accomplished by a strong person who has exercised his control to an extremely advanced level. Generally speaking, it requires decades of hard work, but this woman in white looks like she is only twenty years old and has just reached adulthood.
When most people in this world see such a scene, they will think that she is a fairy.
She is not a fairy, who is a fairy?
After dancing for who knows how long, the wind and thunder in the sky stopped instantly, like the clear light in the river and sea, and finally returned to the waist of the female swordsman.
The female swordsman finally sheathed her sword.
One hand gently rubbed the handle of the knife, and the other hand casually grabbed it in the air, grabbing the nearby fallen leaves that were rolled up by the sword energy, and observed them carefully against the backdrop of the moonlight.
She looked at it very carefully, as if she was not looking at the fallen leaves that could be seen everywhere, but the legendary treasure map.
After observing carefully for a while, the female swordsman spread her hands, letting the night wind blow away the fallen leaves, and sighed with a little regret:
"We're still a little short of it. It's not an easy task to actually complete the Type Zero... Really, it would be great if the master was still in Calvard. I could ask for advice a few more times - Kurogane, what do you think? "
"I don't think the princess needs to worry, Your Excellency 'Sword Immortal' has already made arrangements."
A deep, deep male voice sounded in the darkness.
First hear the voice, then see the person.
Strictly speaking, it's not a meeting.
Because the man named Black Iron could only see black from head to toe, and his face and hair were all wrapped in black tights, a turban, and a mask. It was difficult to obtain any useful information except his height and body shape.
The female swordsman known as the princess was not surprised by this. She was obviously used to Kurogane's dressing style. She turned her head with interest and said briskly: "Why do you say that?"
Kurogie reached into his arms, took out a bamboo tube sealed with wax, and handed it over with both hands: "The letter I just received this evening, the sender -"
There was no need for Kurogane to finish, "Princess" had already judged from the marks on the bamboo tube:
"Master's letter! It's great. It came at the right time. Could it be that Master's 'Eye of View' has entered the field of predicting the future? Or... Master has not left, and has been watching me secretly."
"Princess" said, shrinking her neck and looking around as if to guard against a pervert.
Black Iron: "..."
Fortunately, his face was covered by a mask, otherwise the corners of his mouth would have cramped.
The "princess" I serve is good at everything, she just has this naturally off-kilter character. No wonder the leader told me to follow her and not stay far away, otherwise the goddess knows what will happen.
After finally suppressing his facial muscles, Kurogie said: "I just received news a few days ago that Lord Sword Immortal appeared at the border of Codex Country and continues to head east."
"It's just a joke." The "Princess" laughed naturally, with a cuteness in it, "It should be that my advancement has never exceeded Master's calculations. When I first became a sword master, Master said - Sword Saint is not the end, but the starting point. They are both sword masters, so I don’t think I can beat the two senior brothers."
"Princess is still young, and no one among your peers is better than you." Kurogane was not complimenting, but telling the truth.
If you don't look at your age and only look at your realm, you are acting like a hooligan.
Is the 40-year-old Chaofan comparable to the 21-year-old Juggernaut? (Baye’s are not counted, everyone in this sect starts with “2” and becomes a sword master)
Let's just say that he, Black Iron, is a well-known expert in the East. When compared with this "princess" of his own, it can only be said that people will die when compared with others, and goods will be thrown away when comparing goods.
Kurogane has never seen a more talented and younger extraordinary master than "Princess".
Until the "Princess" opened the wax seal and read the letter.
"You are wrong about Kurogane. There is someone better than me."
"Who?" Heitie didn't believe it.
"Do you know Ryan Schwarzer?"
"I know. The young hero of the empire, the 'Grey Knight' who ended the civil strife, is also a close disciple of Lord Sword Immortal."
Although Black Iron had basically been operating in the central and eastern parts of the continent before, he had not heard of the information about the Western Continent at all, not to mention that the Sword Immortal had long ago said that he had accepted a disciple to close the door with the 'Princess'. Disciples face each other in positions. I hope that the two of them can take care of each other, strengthen each other, and climb to a higher level.
But whether he is a hero or a great hero, it does not mean that he is a martial artist. Rean's title is "Knight of Gray", not the Sword Master, which means that he has not crossed this threshold yet - this should be the case, but the sword The fairy made a special trip to send the letter first, and the princess spoke later after reading the letter. There was only one possibility.
"Could it be that the 'Grey Knight' has already——"
"Is it possible that my 'younger brother' also entered the realm of realm, probably at about the same time as me."
"Black Iron" was speechless for the second time. Li En Shuhuaze is now 20, one year younger than the "Princess", and he is still the "relative" appointed by the Sword Immortal. He is worthy of being a close disciple favored by the "Sword Immortal" and prepared for the "Princess". opponent.
"Princess" didn't pay attention to "Kurotie"'s inner activities, stuffed the letter back into the bamboo tube, and slapped the sword: "Let's go, Kurogane, let's go down the mountain."
"Black Iron" was stunned: "Going down the mountain? But the leader said that we must keep a low profile now, and we can't--"
"Master said, let me go and take a look at this junior brother. Something seems to have happened to him that was beyond Master's expectation - even Master's 'eye of observation' can't see through it. How could I possibly bear it? .”
Kurogane wanted to persuade her again, but when he saw the curve of the corner of the princess's mouth, he knew that it was useless to say anything.
It was ferocious with darkness, high-spirited with flames, and sharp with the sword.
Only when the princess is fully engaged and enjoying the battle will she show such an expression.
The last time she showed that smile was when she was promoted to Sword Master. That time, Kurogane and his companions were all injured and beaten.
That hero of the empire you have never met, wish yourself well.
PS: When the senior sister came on stage in Li Gui, she said that it was just completed - indicating that the completion of Type Zero requires a process. The author believes that whether it is completed or not, it does not conflict with the Sword Master, just like Rean did not dare to say that he had completed the "nothing" form after becoming the Sword Master. Of course, senior sister's zero type and the sword that truly completes itself cannot be generalized, because there is the realm of emptiness above zero, which is the level that truly matches the "nothing" of the complete body, and is where the real power of the "Sword Immortal" lies.
PS2: The closing of the "closed disciple" is the closing of the master's life and the master's kendo. It can also be seen from the words of the sword immortal that he has the highest hope for Rean - to complete the seventh form and complete the most profound one. sword. The founder's disciple's "founding of the mountain" is more straightforward. He established a sect, changed from preaching to preaching, and truly became a inheritance, and became famous all over the world. In this regard, Cassius, the founding disciple, did a good job. He became famous as a swordsman and made the reputation of the Eight Leaves One Sword Style resound throughout the Western Continent. At the critical moment, he taught the younger brother's karma and solved his doubts.
As for Senior Sister, the inner disciple, she is not one of those who opened the mountain or closed the door, or even the Eight Leaf Gate (if I remember correctly, Senior Sister has never reported that she is a Eight Leaf Itto-ryu, if you remember wrongly, you are welcome to slap her in the face), but she has found another way. , break out of the inherent barriers of Baye, and create a new perspective. Although the reputation is not obvious in the Western Continent, there is a high probability that the future height will not be achieved by opening the mountain and closing the door.
The author has reason to guess that the Sword Immortal hopes that Yanilas will follow a similar path. Of course, it is just a guess. I don’t know how the specific arrangements will be made. If you don’t give an explanation, the more sword masters under the Sword Immortal’s sect, the more pitiful the cute master will be. . After all, type seven has the profoundness of type seven, and type zero has the sublimity of type zero, but Yanilas, your——
