Sword God in a World of Magic

Alex took a deep breath.

Killing a bunch of kids?

Alex's mind went back to the bandit he had run over on the way to the Central Wild. Alex still felt uncomfortable whenever he thought about that event.

However, he hadn't killed them on purpose, and even more, he couldn't even have stopped the sled wagon if he wanted to. They had essentially thrown their own lives away.

Yet, this time, it would be different. The lives of these newbie bandits would be in his hands.

"Thank you for the advice. I'll keep it in mind," Alex said.

The guard captain nodded. "No problem. You can't travel to Blizzard's Edge in one day anyway, which means that you have to camp on the way there. If some bandits decide to strike, it will be in the night."

"Thanks again," Alex added.

The guard captain motioned for Alex to enter the town with his head. "Don't make a mistake. It's your life or theirs."

Alex nodded again and entered the town.

There wasn't anything special in the town, and Alex simply passed through it in silence. Several merchants were asking him to buy stuff, but Alex ignored them.

A couple minutes later, Alex exited through the southern gate of the Southern Wild.

"Is it fine if I stay near the walls of the city for the night?" Alex asked the guard captain of this gate. "I don't have any money to stay in the town, and I don't want to stay two nights on the road from here to Blizzard's Edge."

The guard captain looked at Alex with a bored expression. "Sure. Bandits won't dare to come this close to the town. Just don't make too much noise."

Alex nodded. "Thanks, I won't."
