After laughing, Roland left the city to find Hawk.
Hawk had become a strong monster with a massive figure like a large gorilla. He sat down on the stone steps and stared, engrossed, at his bulging muscles, looking rather pleased.
Originally, Hawk specifically created his character's face with sideburns to appear more imposing, and the current changes were just in line with his intentions.
Link didn't change too much. Although his figure was slightly more muscular, it didn't influence how he appeared to others.
The beggars were surprised, but not afraid, at the changes in Hawk.
The stronger their "masters" were, the more sheltered and safe they were. They had had enough of the life of being displaced, bullied, and never having a full belly. As long as their leaders could protect them, they wouldn't have any problems with them even if they turned into giant dragons.
