Chapter 746 - 510: Crime and Punishment (Part Two)
Malin opened his eyes, and it took him a while to realize why the carvings on the ceiling seemed so much larger—it wasn’t that they had become bigger, but rather that he had shrunk.
What on earth was this ailment, that every time after a fight he was bound to shrink? Was it because the previous battles had consumed too much, causing his body to automatically switch? That would be deadly. To switch physique after each fight was indeed a headache.
With this thought, Malin sat up, took out a robe suitable for his smaller size from his spatial bag, put it on, then hopped off the bed, slipped into the noticeably oversized slippers, and scampered to the door. He raised his hand to open the door and entered the hallway.
Malin was hungry and wanted to eat.
Driven by hunger, Malin ran down the stairs and, under the peculiar gazes of the maids in the hall, he jumped onto the chair at the table, ready to indulge in the still-steaming food when he was picked up by the scruff of his neck.
"Who are you?" The Head Maid looked at Malin with a puzzled gaze, "No one was allowed in last night; how on earth did you get in here, child?"
"I am Malin," Malin spoke, while also showing his arm where the saplings of the World Tree spelled out his name in letters in a very straightforward manner.
Although the Head Maid did not recognize Malin as a child, the saplings of the World Tree on his arm were indisputable, so she put Malin down very awkwardly and then apologized with a lot of remorse.
Malin generously stated it was nothing, as they had never seen little Malin, so he couldn’t blame them. After soothing them, Malin forked a meat patty into his mouth. Despite his small size, Malin still maintained an impressively perfect Frost Giant appetite, to the delight of the maids who had prepared the full table of breakfast—they had been quite downcast, thinking Malin would leave a lot of food uneaten.
