Steampunk Era: Mad Abield

Thus, they peacefully squeezed through the crowd, and Malin and Meng Quyi saw a small debate. The two sides were two fellows who seemed to be cultured, discussing the material selection for the new statue from the battle ten years ago.

The bald gentleman with a shiny head insisted on highlighting Malin True Lord’s grandeur, arguing that if a full-body statue is to be erected, it should be the largest, with all demonic clowns defeated under True Lord’s feet.

The other gentleman was much younger than the first, with slicked-back hair, arguing that Malin True Lord’s sudden appearance that night was an exception, and he hasn’t appeared since due to their tiresome rituals and worship disrupting his peace-loving nature.

He meant, as with the one on the bridge, they should create group statues, though Malin True Lord’s statue should still be larger.

Then he was booed intensely by the crowd watching.

To Malin, the full-body statue proposed by the old gentleman seemed like heresy—erecting a full-body statue for a child 1.2 meters tall can’t display any aspect of heroism.

The group statue proposed by the younger gentleman also seemed redundant to Malin—how do you showcase a pitiful 1.2-meter individual among a group of people 1.78 meters tall? Have you really thought about it with your walnut-sized brain?!

Have the Thanan been at war for so long that they’ve fed all their artistic cells to the Flesh Hounds?

This won’t do, Malin decided to step forward and set things right.

However, before setting things right, Malin decided to find a place to transform.

So he pulled Meng Quyi to a personal dining place—one of those with curtains, usually serving only two guests.
