When Lothur's name was called, everyone in the coliseum who knew that he had not entered through the competitors' area in this place fell silent in anticipation.
But the ordinary crowd in this place celebrated, with thousands of people eager to see the great dark horse of this edition of the Province Conference.
Of those tens of thousands of people there today, only a fraction of them had had the opportunity to see Lothur's skills in action in the previous days. So, many were eager to see him.
Ordinary people usually identified with weaker candidates and opponents of predominant powers because of the 'similarities' these individuals had with themselves. Thus, many there were cheering for him, a young man who, although unusual, was until recently just a mortal, a good-for-nothing.
How many there could not be considered better than Lothur a few weeks ago?
Almost all of them!
Because of this, many already liked him, even considering his unusual personality.
