I am GSD, a sword that explodes stars

Chapter 11 Did You Hear That?
Alvin followed Sosia into a tavern sealed by magic.

The pub is decorated entirely in wood, and there are some sealed wooden barrels, exuding an ancient atmosphere.

After Sosia returned to her tavern, she turned on the phonograph behind the bar. A peaceful and melodious tune echoed in the tavern.

This melody seems to have magical power, allowing the listeners to feel the tranquility that comes from the comfort of music no matter how restless or sad they are.

Ivan felt his heart moving with it, and he slowly walked to the chair in front of the bar and sat down, his eyes looking towards the phonograph.

"This music is really good. If it was also available in Landry Town before, your business would be even more popular, right?"

He is not blind, he is blindfolded just to better fit the GSD look. And because of Asura's mind's eye, he has a keener perception of the fluctuations of all things in the world.

Even if he tried to ignore it, he couldn't block out the roar and cry coming from the wind.

But at this moment, as the music sounded, he felt like he had come to a peaceful world.

"The people of Landry are not so impetuous."

"There is a clear gap and contrast between the lives of the people living in the back streets of the Sgli area and the main streets, front streets and the west coast of Sgli, which has given rise to many impetuous scenes."

“And there are adventurers here from all over the world.”

"I am mainly here to allow these tired visitors to enjoy the rare peace and quiet, to calm down and drink, have fun or to relieve their worries."

"Then watch them fight in the designated place and forget their grudges with a smile."

"It would be great if Mr. Irving also likes this place."

Although Sosia has only run a tavern in the Sgri area for six years, she has friends here, so she temporarily regards this place as an important base of hers.

Therefore, in order to give guests a better experience, it is suitable to talk and listen to stories.

She also put some thought into this and specially found this phonograph that was integrated with magic.

Accompanied by peaceful and melodious music, the store has been open here for many years and has always been loved by visitors from all over the world.

"It's more than just liking it. With this music, I want to get drunk."

Upon hearing this, Alvin did not hold back his praise at all.

Because this tavern gave him a rare experience where there was no annoying crying sound around him.

There was no longer the sadness he had just heard, which made him really want to get drunk and not care about the flood outside.

When Sosia heard this, she immediately brought a glass of cold beer. She saw Ivan pick up the glass and drink it in one gulp. His mood was completely different from before he entered the city.

"Mr. Irwin, what's wrong with you?"

This made her feel a little confused.

"Did you hear anyone crying?"

Hearing this, Alvin looked towards the entrance of the tavern and spoke slowly.

This rhetorical question surprised Sosia and she didn't know how to answer.

It is true that she is a magician with powerful strength, but she is facing Ivan, a mysterious visitor from another world.

She didn't know yet how many powerful abilities Alvin possessed, so she just waited in silence for him to continue.

"I can hear you."

"Not only humans, I can also hear the cries of all things, even the dead souls."

"It is difficult for anything in this world to find peace while alive, and there is no liberation after death."

"How do you think we can comfort those departed souls?"

At this moment, facing Sosia's silence, Ivan spoke again. Now he more or less understood why in the previous life in the game, GSD could see through all the prosperity in the world and chose to be stationed in the dark and even chaotic back streets.

It is true that GSD's peak strength is definitely one of the strongest in the continent of Arad, but some things cannot be solved by strength alone.

That is the helplessness of seeing through the sadness of the world and wanting to do something, but finding it difficult to do anything.

When Alvin expressed these feelings, Sosia saw that Alvin's long black hair suddenly turned white at this moment.

This made her rub her eyes in disbelief. When she looked carefully, she found that Ivan's hair was still jet black, and the white color that had just invaded her vision seemed like an illusion and had never appeared.

But faced with the question raised by Ivan, Sosia was unable to answer it for a moment.

Even though she couldn't empathize with him, just by listening to Alvin's words, she could feel the helplessness.
It’s not that Alvin didn’t fulfill the last wishes of those dead souls.

In the small town of Landry, Ivan indirectly saved more than 200 families.

However, countless people die every moment in the world. Even if he has the intention and is willing to take practical actions, he cannot completely save those souls who still hold resentment after death.

“No matter how powerful a person is, the role he can play in certain matters is always limited.”

"So don't worry too much about it, just follow your heart."

After some thought, Sosia could only give this answer, also to ease the helplessness in Ivan's heart.

"Yes, a person's power is always limited."

For more than a month, Alvin has been disturbed by countless fluctuations and ghosts. At this moment, because he felt a lot of thoughts in his mind and heard Sosia's comfort, he also understood some truths.

However, even if he opened a dojo, it would not be easy to recruit disciples.

Because all the power he possesses comes from the ghost hand.

Even the wave force and fighting spirit that were transformed into cultivation were partly due to the ghost hand.

The torture brought by the ghost hand can train a person to develop an indestructible will and a sense of urgency of being chased by ghosts and gods. In order to get rid of the torture of the ghost hand, people must constantly find ways to hone themselves and dare not slack off.

If it were an ordinary person, even if he intended to teach the sword fighting spirit and wave power derived from the GSD template, others might not be able to practice it.

Although he can also spontaneously spread Kazan's plague in the future, allowing an ordinary person to be cursed by Kazan and thus obtain the ghost hand.

However, if the scale of such things is not properly grasped, it can easily be regarded as heresy by everyone on the entire continent.

Even though Alvin has full confidence in the peak strength of GSD's character template, he does not want to stand against the vast majority of people on the entire continent.

Haven’t you seen in the previous life’s Dungeons and Warriors, how many powerful bosses, in order to achieve their own goals, stood on the opposite side of the vast majority of strong people, and were eventually destroyed under siege.

It would be great if there were some people who could live alone and not have relatives or friends to complain or cause trouble for them even after their death.

As soon as this thought came out, Alvin felt more hopeful.

You should know that although the Plague of Khazan is called a curse, it is not simply a curse that takes lives.

Moreover, Kazan transformed into a ghost and traveled the world. The Kazan plague he spread did not spread indiscriminately, but specifically sought out people who were isolated from everything and in despair. After giving them power, he watched where they would go when faced with certain major choices in life.

He is not strong enough now. He cannot observe the world like Kazan, see those who are isolated from the world and in despair, and give them the power to change their situation.

However, once his acting skills reach a certain level, he should be able to do this kind of thing.

Although Devil May Cry exudes an evil aura that scares creatures away, he is not truly evil.

Because the origin of the Devil May Cry profession comes from the creation of the priest Ziger, who can override and manipulate ghosts and gods, and can also listen to the whispers of souls and seek relief for them.

It was obviously impossible for him to appease so many souls by himself, but the Devil May Cry he taught formed a huge team.

Then even if the soul's wails cannot be completely soothed, they can be gradually reduced.
