The tram station was bustling with people.
Shawn hadn't even approached when he heard the newsboy's calls, with employees crowded around to buy newspapers nearby.
"Big news! Big news!"
"Del Region has suffered an unprecedented locust plague!... Experts predict a significant reduction in grain yield this year!..."
"Grain trade hit hard!... Food prices have been rising consecutively!..."
Locust plague?
Shawn's expression changed, he quickly pushed through the crowd, and casually handed a 1-Dinar bill to the newsboy, not even waiting for change before stepping away. He spread open the newspaper in front of him and saw that the front-page headline indeed showed photos of the locust plague in Del Region, a vast plain teeming endlessly with locust swarms.
Something major has happened!
Ordinary people don't know what protective forces lie behind Del Region, but Shawn is very aware that it is the base of natural orthodoxy, the territory of the Great Druids.
