1082 Aristocratic Prosperity Vicente and his group arrived at Humfail Reef. As expected after the conversations with Lyra, the island was a stronger place than Amae and Light Cay, but also much more organized and peaceful.
The local sovereign ruled the region with an iron fist, forcing its entire population to live under its rules. The result was little violent competition and the social flourishing of this civilization.
As soon as they entered the first town on their way, the group saw how organized and developed the local population was, noticing a very well-developed and organized trade and service industry.
Vicente, in particular, felt as if he had come back to earth when he entered this place, seeing a civilization that was more orderly and less brutal than anything he had seen since his birth in Polaris Realm. Obviously there was a magical component to this place that made it different from Earth. But rules had more value there than just power. As long as one wasn't among the 0.001% of the strongest people on the island, the rules applied to everyone with blind justice, something that, as far as Vicente could see, was even fairer than what happened on Earth.
Not that Earth was the home of honesty and equality. Vicente knew that his first world was problematic. But unlike the world of cultivation, where people could concentrate great power in their hands, on Earth people needed systems of government to live by, which could function, even with their flaws, most of the time.
Money could influence the Earth, but not like magic influenced the Polaris Realm.
