Steampunk Era: Mad Abield

After all, compared to Malin’s team, the young people he chose were as helpless as goblins.

So, since someone as powerful as Malin said he would take people inside, the Sage was more than happy to feel reassured.

When Konen was mentioned, Malin turned to look at Konen—this kid was completely out of place at human banquets, and the guests didn’t know how to converse with him—judging by appearance, this kid was a standard zombie, but the problem was, he clearly understood human speech.

He didn’t speak human language very accurately, and Thainan’s tone of speech left him quite helpless.

Malin waved at him to come over, this kid who was wrestling with a big pork knuckle, then introduced him to the Sage.

Upon hearing that he was the son of the biochemical leader from the extreme East of Westland and the child of Malin’s father’s apprentice, the Sage conversed with him in Westland language and finally stated that the kid understood Thainan, English, Spanish, and Greek.

Thainan and English should be understandable to all biochemists and zombies—you see, if humans had to teach their creations to speak, that’d be ridiculous.

Of course, it’s normal that Konen can understand but not speak very well, considering that in his homeland, few people speak Thainan.

As for Spanish... although it had disappeared, there were still quite a few towns using Spanish in the eastern regions of Sydney. In other places, there might be some lost Spanish descendants; perhaps Konen’s mother was one of them.

Regarding Greek, this was unexpected for Malin, who previously thought those biochemists seemed like the Russian type, not products of a Greek biochemical factory.

Finding out Konen understood Thainan, the Sage showed a keen interest in the young man, even stating that if Malin stays, he would be willing to teach Konen when he returns.
