The sudden commotion not only snapped Shane, who had been listening to Vivian's words, back to his senses but also caused Lu Muya and Merica to startle in astonishment.
"So... so many people...!"
"Why are there so many people?"
Lu Muya and Merica voiced their surprise.
Before their eyes, on Lake Heart Island, in front of the Royal Palace's castle, a vast multitude of people had gathered, creating a tumultuous buzz that rose and fell.
The crowd consisted of the very civilians, adventurers, and even nobles they had been able to see all along, with numbers so large they could only be described as an ocean of people, so dense that all one could see was a swarming mass of heads.
The number of people was, at the very least, enough to be measured in the tens of thousands.
Although Shane stood quite far back, he could still feel the heat emanating from the sea of people ahead, and it didn't take much to understand just how many must have been there to create such a scene.
