I am GSD, a sword that explodes stars

Chapter 25: The World is Difficult
The back streets, which should have become increasingly chaotic as night fell, now saw a sexy female elf with blonde hair in a red dress and a full smile, and a blind man with a black cloth covering his eyes, a blood-red left hand, wearing strange clothes and a serious face walking together on the avenue in the back streets.

One by one, they all restrained their thoughts. No matter who they were targeting, no one dared to target these two.

The fact that Sosia is such a beautiful female elf and can survive in the back streets for many years without any accidents is already worthy of fear.

They also personally felt the terrifying murderous aura of the blind-looking man next to the female elf.

They had no doubt that if this LV1 blind man really wanted to kill, not only would there be chaos and blood all over the ground, but the entire back street would not be strong enough for him to demolish violently.

Those who can survive and thrive in a dark place like the back street are not good people, and none of them are unable to judge the situation.

Because those who have some abilities but no brains, and who want to rob and bully people, would have died long ago.

They watched the two people gradually go away, not knowing what they were going to do, but they did not dare to follow them for fear of attracting attention and being killed in one move.

Sosia took Ivan through the back streets and headed towards the west coast.

As the capital of the Principality of Stan, it is now night time and it is not yet time for everyone to close their shops for a rest, so the streets are still bustling with people passing by in an endless stream.

The two men walked through the crowds of people and after more than ten minutes they arrived under a huge archway. They passed through the archway and arrived at a street where a store was located.

The shops were brightly lit, but because it was night, everyone had been busy all day, so there was no shouting.

There were more pedestrians wearing armor or armor, carrying swords and spears, and their momentum was even more fierce.

There was also a large group of people wearing magic robes with magic staffs floating behind them or holding magic staffs in their hands. They observed the surroundings and walked into the shops on both sides with peace of mind after finding that nothing was wrong.

Alvin took a rough look and found that these people were basically above level 25, and some were even level 40. It was obvious that they were quite strong.

"Aren't they tired of holding their weapons all the time?"

Alvin saw how they dressed and acted.

"There are many guilds here, as well as trade associations and smaller groups."

"There are many people who are enemies with each other. At night, when people are most relaxed, it is easiest to take revenge."

“Plus, night is also the time when the people in the back streets start to become active.”

"So you need to be careful when walking outside at night."

"Especially those magicians, because if they want to exert their full strength, they need to use their staffs to chant and cast spells to exert their full strength."

"So in order to avoid being attacked at close range, unless you are in a place where you can be completely safe, you will never leave your staff."

"The number of women or female adventurers walking outside at night is also relatively small compared to the daytime."

“Even if I have to go out, I won’t go to those more remote places.”

Sosia knew that Ivan had just come from a small border town to the prosperous capital of a principality like Sgri, and did not understand the reasons for some phenomena, so she tried to explain the reasons in as much detail as possible.

"Don't the guards here care?"

When Alvin heard that it was not safe to walk outside, he looked around carefully, as if thinking about something.

“We want to manage it, but we don’t have enough manpower, so we are powerless.”

"So most of the public security or commissions are usually handled by hiring strong people from different guilds."

"If some vicious incidents occur that cause chaos, the Queen will be responsible for making connections, issuing orders, giving generous rewards, and uniting strong people from different guilds and associations to resolve the issue." Sosia continued to explain after hearing this.

In today's world, if you don't have the ability to rely on yourself, human life is worthless.

If ordinary people are not careful enough when they are outside and get kidnapped, robbed, or even killed, they can only blame themselves for their bad luck.

Some wealthy people, nobles, strong military men, and powerful adventurers are in a completely different class from ordinary people.

Therefore, for most ordinary people, it might be safer to live and work in some border towns instead of here.

After all, there are some soldiers stationed in those small towns, and they don’t have much money even if they spend all their money, so most of the strong people are too lazy to rob those small places. Usually they have to face the invasion of monsters from the forest.

As long as those monsters are not deployed on a large scale, the stationed soldiers can basically deal with them.

Of course this is a normal situation. There are also scumbags who go to small towns to bully others. These are inevitable.

"They only care when something bad happens."

“It’s a tough world.”

Alvin listened to the crying in the wind, and understood the rules here, feeling a little emotional.

The society he lived in in his previous life was very competitive and difficult to stand out because of the large population, but it was still very easy to survive based on the rules, and it was not easy to cause deaths.

Unlike this world where hierarchy is respected, life is precarious and even if you die, no one may seek justice for you.

“The world is big, but different places are essentially similar.”

“Although it seems a bit bland in comparison, I have to say that the Principality of Stan is considered to be a relatively good living environment among the nearby kingdoms and even empires.”

The queen of this territory, Freya Sigri Stan, is relatively kind, humane and serious.

If it were other lords, they might not care how many civilians died as long as it did not affect the lord himself.

The lord might even keep bandits for his own benefit, and have them burn, kill, and loot in the name of thieves, so that he could enjoy some perverted pleasure.

But because Queen Freya Sigri Stan is a woman, it is more difficult for her to win the support of the people when she holds power, so there are many things that she is willing but unable to solve.

"Your statement is not indifferent. Everything is just due to the limitations of the times and the system."

"During the day, I've seen the security here, and it's pretty good."

"I'll find an opportunity to pay a visit to the queen of this territory. I want to open a dojo, and I need her permission."

Upon hearing this, Ivan nodded slightly in agreement with Sosia's words.

Because everyone is divided into different levels, the law of the jungle is more vividly reflected.

The weak are in danger of being slaughtered or abused by the strong at any time. This is inevitable due to the rules of the world.

There are strong people who will stick to their bottom line and are heroes among us who are willing to sacrifice their lives to protect ordinary people.

Of course, there are also demons who possess great power, do not care about the lives of civilians at all, and wantonly destroy and rob. They are clearly human beings but cannot be called human beings.
