"Lilia, do you think I have the aura of a supreme ruler?"
"The aura of a snapping turtle? Captain, why would you..."
"Forget it. Pretend I never asked."
Judging by Lilia's answer, he probably did not.
It was only because the shadow's behavior was so baffling that he could not help asking.
Lin Yuan turned back and waited for the shadow's answer.
Reality was not a harem novel, where a mere flex of the protagonist's imposing physique sent girls throwing themselves into his arms.
Besides, this shadow was not a harem member.
So he needed a reason, one that made sense.
The shadow gesticulated again, and Lilia translated beside him:
"It says it's a shipwright, and its dream is to build the best ship in the world."
"And you, Captain, are the most unique ship it has ever seen, a rare treasure that shouldn't possibly exist. It wants to follow you and make you into the finest ship."
"Huh, so you're a ship, Captain. Then why would you want the aura of a snapping turtle..." Lilia completely missed the point of the shadow's words, muttering away about this and that.
But it was as though a thunderbolt had struck Lin Yuan's mind!
It can see that I'm a ship?!
To Lin Yuan, aside from the incredibly impressive and unfathomably mysterious Little Box, his fusion with the ship panel was his greatest secret.
Now an unknown shadow had seen through that secret at a glance. His shock went without saying.
Along with that shock came endless questions:
How did it see through me?
Can all the other Artisans see through me too?
Will exposing this secret bring trouble?
In that instant, countless thoughts flashed through Lin Yuan's mind.
Among them was even the idea of silencing the shadow on the spot.
