276  Statue of Ace

Ace was shocked when he learned they wanted to make a statue of him.

Sure, he was the key to their victory in the war, but it never crossed his mind that they would want to make a statue of him.

After all, everyone contributed to the war against Dezmavas and his subordinates, not only him.

"So, which pose do you want, Ace?" the green-haired man repeated his question.

"Don't you think it's too much to make a statue of me? Why don't you make a statue of the founder of this city or a statue of Scarlett?" Ace only wanted to protect their city, nothing more than that.

"You are a hero, so we want to make a statue of you."

"That's right. You are our hero, Ace."

"Un, un."

"And city mistress also agrees to make a statue of you."

"Don't refuse, Ace."

They insisted on making a statue of him.

Of course, Ace kept telling them to drop the idea, but his efforts were in vain.

They said he was the reason why they could protect their city, so they wanted everyone to know him.

They wanted everyone to know that he was a hero. That was why they insisted on making a statue of him.

After a long conversation, they decided to make a statue of him tomorrow.

----

The following morning, Allan met Ace and Scarlett after breakfast. He told them that he would go home in a few minutes.

Ace and Scarlett thanked Allan for helping them protect their city. They also said they would always welcome him in their city.

After Allan and his subordinates left, Scarlett ordered her subordinates to help citizens build their houses.

As some people were torturing Henry and his subordinates, several citizens dragged Ace to the city square.

Their houses were razed to the ground, so they decided to draw him in the city square.

"Ace, don't move. Stay still." An old man named Dalan drew Ace in his book.

He needed a picture of Ace to make his statue, so he decided to draw him in a book first.

"Mister Dalan, is it still long?" Ace was currently standing straight in front of Dalan.

A beautiful pair of ice wings could be seen on his back.

His Phoenix sword was plugged into the ground, and both hands were on the hilt.

Honorable knight pose!

After arriving at the city square, they told him to stand in the pose of an honorable knight because this pose received the most votes last night.

"Ten minutes more." Dalan responded as he drew Ace in his book.

Ace was at a loss for words.

'Mister Dalan, you said the same thing twenty minutes ago.'

It had been thirty minutes since Dalan began drawing Ace in his book.

Even though he was only standing and holding his Phoenix sword, he felt sore because he did not move his body for several minutes.

'Should I use a clone to replace me?'

If his system were not in sleep mode, he would have gotten many notifications from divine beings by now.

The divine beings could not see his adventure or comment because his system was in sleep mode.

'But even so, I have to think of a way to wake up my system quickly.'

His system could make it easier for him to achieve his dream, so he would try to awaken his system as quickly as possible.

"Mister Dalan, how about we take a break first?" Ace wanted to stretch his muscles because he did not move his body for thirty minutes.

"Ace, be patient. I'm almost done." Like before, Dalan responded as he drew Ace in his body.

Ace could only sigh.

'I feel like I'm being tortured right now.'

After standing for another fifteen minutes, Dalan finally finished drawing him.

'It's finally done.'

Ace immediately created a clone.

"Mister Dalan, my clone will help you if you need something. I will leave now." without waiting for Dalan's response, Ace left City Square.

Dalan and the others could only twitch their lips.

'He runs away!'

----

Time went by quickly, and without realizing it, it had been three days since Dalan drew Ace in his book.

At this moment, Dalan and the others were standing in front of Ace's statue. With the help of Scarlett's subordinates, they managed to make a statue of him in three days.

The statue was five meters high.

Like Ace, the statue looked amazing.

If the statue had human skin, they would see it was Ace because there was almost no difference between Ace and the statue.

Ace was their hero, so Dalan and the others made the statue carefully and as closely as possible to Ace.

"Good! Cover the statue with cloth. We will inform city mistress now." Dalan said to his co-workers.

After informing Scarlett, the citizens headed to the city square one by one. They wanted to attend the inauguration of Ace's statue, so they stopped what they were doing.

"I can't wait to see Ace's statue."

"Me too."

"I even stopped building my house for the sake of attending the inauguration of Ace's statue."

"My brother, who worked with mister Dalan said the statue was amazing."

"Oh? It makes me want to see it even more."

The citizens could not wait to see the statue of Ace.

Scarlett, who was standing in front of Ace's statue, uttered, "As you already know, Ace is our hero. He was the reason why we could protect our city and he was the reason why we could survive the catastrophe."

She then continued, "After working hard for three days, we finally managed to create a statue of him. Today, I will inaugurate this statue of Ace."

Ace, who was standing next to her, said nothing.

Actually, he felt shy, but he tried his best to act normally. He was in front of the citizens, so he had to maintain his good image.

"Reveal the statue now." Scarlett uttered.

Dalan and the others immediately pulled down the cloth, revealing Ace's statue.

"Whoa! His statue looks amazing!"

"I had guessed this before, but his statue was more amazing than I thought."

"You are right."

"As expected of Ace! Even his statue is so good-looking!"

"Mister Dalan and the others has done great job."

"I agreed."

"The statue even looks exactly like Ace."

'Un, un."

One by one, the citizens praised the statue of Ace.

Captain Noah, who was next to Ace, inquired, "How is it, Ace? Are you satisfied with it?"

"Yes." Ace responded, "It's amazing."

"Of course! Haha." Dalan uttered, "You are our hero, so we did our best to make the statue look exactly like you."

"We did our best, Ace." Dalan's co-workers said in unison.

"Yes." Ace nodded his head.

As the citizens were looking at the statue of Ace, a gorgeous lady was flying in the sky. The young lady had long black hair and a pretty oval face.

If Ace saw her, he would know her immediately because they had unforgettable memories in Framingburns forest.

Evelyn Faens!

Yes, the young lady's name was Evelyn Faens, the first person Ace met after transmigrating to the new world.

'Master's condition is getting worse. I hope I can get ice lotus this time.'
