"Uh... let me confirm again, sir. You're saying that even though you've awakened a noble power and become a noble ability user... you still choose to keep the result of this draw and go ashore?"
The Sergeant was clearly stunned.
Although Wen Xishu possessed three-phase power and could force his way into staying aboard the Ark, leaving others to die...
But he had to assume there was a way to break the deadlock without three-phase power, and consider whether the Sinland Fragments—that is, the various islands—held certain secrets.
So he decided to go ashore.
Interestingly, though, the entrenched class hierarchy seemed to make everyone here regard Wen Xishu as an oddity.
Even the other seven pieces of cannon fodder wondered-how could someone like this exist?
Quite a few people had returned safely from the islands, but certain concepts had vanished from their minds.
Supposedly, those whose lives no longer contained the concept of water still couldn't understand it. When they saw seawater, they perceived it only as some enormous... living thing.
Since the Ark sailed across the sea, this made their lives very difficult. They lived in fear every day.
And some of those whose lives no longer contained children couldn't even recognize their own.
Of course, many others had remained on the islands forever.
No one wanted to go... the Ark had no shortage of people. After achieving a perpetually self-sustaining ecological cycle, babies were born at regular intervals. Even now, its population could be considered excessive.

He merely nodded.
"I'm sure. But before that, could you let me meet the captain?"
The Sergeant shook his head.
"Sorry... the captain
