Chapter 743 His Blood Is Dangerous (Part 1)
"Let's go to the eastern market of the city. That's the only place left where we haven't been. If we can't find the Blood Soul Crystal and other things there as well, then we will return to the Dark Forest," Cedar said as he and Evan ate breakfast in the inn where they had been staying for the past two days.
Evan nodded in agreement with Cedar, as he also didn't want to waste any more time in Star City.
He wanted to increase the Rank of his core to mid-level Rank One as soon as possible and create some Rank Two Shadow Undeads before the Tomb of the Ancient opened, so lingering in the city was not an option.
Although Evan didn't ask Sylvan if he could enter the Tomb of Ancient along with Cedar and the other Dryads, he already had something in mind and he was ninety percent sure that Sylvan would allow him enter the Tomb with them after hearing his proposal.
While they were eating breakfast, suddenly, a discussion caught Evan's and Cedar's attention.
"Did you hear? Amber Nightfall is currently in the Star City," a bulky man with a scar on his face said to his companions.
"What?" the companions of the bulky man were stunned when they heard him.
"Are you talking about the youngest daughter of the Blood Monarch?" a man with a horn on his head asked with a shocked look on his face.
"Yes," The bulky man nodded his head. "I heard she was training in the depths of the Dark Forest for the past few months and is now planning to break through to the Peak Level Rank Two before the Tomb Of The Anicent opens."
Evan raised an eyebrow when he heard the man and looked at Cedar.
"Is the Tomb Of The Ancient close to this place?"
Evan asked this question because in the past two days, he heard many people talking about how people from the surrounding small kingdoms were coming to the Star City due to the Tomb Of The Ancient.
Now that he heard even a big shot is here, he thought maybe the Tomb of the Ancient is very close to the Star City.
When Cedar heard Evan's question, he shook his head.
"The Tomb Of The Ancient is located in the Southern Territory of Utopia meanwhile the Star City is in the Western Territory..." Cedar said and added after a moment as he already knew why Evan had asked this question.
"The reason people are gathering here is because there is a cross territory teleportation formation in the Star City that can teleport people directly to the Southern Territory where the Tomb Of The Ancient is located."
"I see..." Evan nodded his head in understanding hearing Cedar and focused back on the bulky man.
He wasn't interested in Ember Nightfall, whom they were talking about, but he was very interested in hearing about her father, Alistair Nightfall, who is one of the five Monarchs.
Evan already knew a few things about the five Monarchs because of Cedar but he still wanted to know more.
"Are you sure she is here to break through to peak level Rank Two? Isn't she just Twenty Five years old this year? I am already over one hundred years old but I am still stuck at the mid level Rank one," A middle aged looking man who was nearly two meters tall asked in a voice filled with disbelief.
Even Cedar couldn't help but raise an eyebrow when he heard the man. He was Twenty Seven years old but he still needed at least a year or two before he could break through to the Peak Level Rank Two.
Evan noticed Cedar's change in expression and shook his head inwardly.
He knew that Cedar's talent was quite good but the problem was that it was hard for Drayds to gather resources because of their situation. It was already quite absurd that he reached mid level Rank Two at such an age without the support of many resources.
'Well, she is the daughter of one of the Monarchs, so it is not surprising that she is already at the peak of Rank Two..." Evan said to himself as he finished his breakfast. "... From her birth, she must have been drinking high-level potions instead of water and eating pills like candies.'
After finishing his breakfast, Evan noticed Cedar was also finished, so both of them stood up to leave.
Just when they were about to leave, the bulky man who was talking about Ember Nightfall seemed to remember something and said in a voice full of envy.
"By the way, I heard a Rank Three Core Evolver found an Enlightenment Stone in the inner area of the Dark Forest, and he is going to auction it off in this month's Star Auction, which is the day after tomorrow."
"What the... Someone found an Enlightenment Stone, and he is going to sell it?" one of the companions of the bulky man asked in a voice filled with disbelief.
Cedar's eyes trembled when he heard the words enlightenment stones and he once again sat down.
Evan noticed the change in Cedar's expression so he also sat down and looked at him curiously.
"Cedar, what is an enlightenment stone?"
Cedar looked at the bulky man who was talking about the enlightenment stone and took a deep breath.
"Did you see the Law Room in your house?" He asked Evan, without looking at him.
When Evan heard Cedar, he remembered the room that he had seen in the house. There was a formation in the law room, but it wasn't working, so he had thought it was broken and didn't care about it.
Seeing the change in Evan's expression, Cedar nodded his head.
"The enlightenment stone is related to that formation and if we can get our hand on it..." Cedar said and his eyes started to shine like stars.
Evan was taken aback when he saw the look on Cedar's face. He knew about Cedar's personality, so he knew that his control over his emotions was very high.
'If even he is acting like this, then this enlightenment stone must be something great,' Evan thought to himself and wanted to ask more about this Stone, but before he could, he felt a sudden change in the atmosphere and noticed some people with deep red eyes and pale skin entering the inn.
