What Richard didn't know was that ever since he appeared in front of the palace, news of his arrival had already spread throughout the entire capital.
People might not have talked about him for a long time, but no one had forgotten his name—his achievements as a child were too remarkable to fade away.
And today, he had finally transformed into a full-grown man.
Many were curious about what Richard looked like now, and when he stepped out of the palace, he was surprised to find a huge crowd outside the courtyard.
They had gathered there just to see him. Some were even sketching his appearance right on the spot.
Unprepared for such attention, Richard chose to leave quickly—this time using his flying ark instead of flying on his own.
He didn't hesitate to consume a large number of Nature Spirits to maximize the ark's speed, shortening his journey significantly.
Red Star Empress Village.
