740 Star City

"Elf, Demon... Eltharon!" As Evan spoke, he felt that he had discovered something, but before he could grasp the essence of his revelation, that flash of inspiration disappeared. It was as if the idea had been clear in his mind just a moment ago, but now it eluded him entirely.

Evan frowned and tried to remember the revelation that had just crossed his mind when he contemplated the connection between Eltharon, Elves, and Demons.

He even stopped thinking about the issue of Asher and why he was able to turn him into a Shadow Undead. Instead, his entire focus shifted to trying to recall the revelation that had just crossed his mind a moment ago. However, despite thinking about it for a few hours, he still failed to remember the thing that had slipped his mind.

"We are about to reach the Star City."

Just when Evan was lost in his thoughts, he suddenly heard Cedar's voice and finally came out of the trance.

When Evan came out from the trance, he couldn't help but frown, feeling a mild headache for some reason. He rubbed his temples and noticed that it was already close to afternoon, and they had been flying for more than eight hours.

'Damn it, so I've been thinking about the same thing for more than eight hours without realizing it...' Evan was shocked as he finally realized why he was feeling a mild headache.

"Are you alright?" Cedar asked when he saw the frown on Evan's face. During these eight hours, he had tried to talk to him a few times, but he noticed that Evan was lost in thought and wasn't listening to what he was saying.

Hearing Cedar, Evan realized that he had been acting like a retard for the past eight hours, so he smiled awkwardly and nodded his head.

"I am fine, I was just thinking about something," He said and changed the topic. "By the way, how long will it take us to reach Star City?"

Cedar's mouth couldn't help but twitch when he heard Evan, and he pointed in front of him.

"Just look in front of you and you should be able to see the outline of the city."

Evan was stunned when he heard Cedar, and he quickly looked in front of him. When he did, Evan saw the outline of a massive city stretching to the horizon.

He was still a few thousand kilometres away from the city, but he could still see the tall buildings reaching the clouds and feel the majestic aura that the city was emitting.

"The Star City is a neutral city created by the top forces of Utopia. This city was jointly established by the top forces to properly manage the resources of the Dark Forest. Most people come here after gathering resources from the Dark Forest to trade them for something they need or to sell them," Cedar explained to Evan as they flew towards the city.

"You mean there is no absolute ruler in the Star City?"

"Yes, unlike the cities of other Kingdoms and Empires, the Star City is a place that is jointly managed by the many forces of Utopia, so it is quite easy to buy things here. No one would care about your race or how you look because this city is always full of people of different races.

"I see..." Evan nodded his head hearing Cedar and understood why he came here instead of going somewhere else even though they could have gone anywhere in Utopia using the teleportation building created by Ashley.

In Star City, no one would care about him and Cedar since there are always new people coming here from all over Utopia. But if both of them go to a city that is under the rule of a specific kingdom or empire, there is a chance they will draw some unwanted attention.

The last thing Cedar wants in his current situation is to attract unwanted attention, as it would be dangerous not only for him but also for the Drayds.

Although it has been thousands of years, the war between the Drayds and Elves is still ongoing, and there are many people trying to find the hideout of the Drayds in order to gain favour with the Elves.

"You should change your appearance as well," Cedar suddenly said, giving a mask to Evan.

Evan raised an eyebrow hearing Cedar but he quickly understood why he asking him to change his appearance.

"Although the security in Star City is very good, and no one would be foolish enough to cause trouble in a place jointly managed by the top forces of Utopia, it's still better to exercise caution, especially since you look like a half-elf," Cedar said in a calm voice.

Evan nodded his head hearing Cedar and wore the mask.

The moment Evan wore the mask, his appearance and aura started to change. In just a few seconds, similar to Cedar, he also transformed into a brown-skinned elf with shoulder-length hair. The demonic aura around him also changed, now closer to the natural aura of the elves.

Evan didn't know why, but he felt quite uncomfortable when his aura and appearance changed. It was as if something inside him was dissatisfied because of the fact that he had changed his appearance.

After a few minutes, Evan and Cedar finally reached the front of the city gate and landed on the ground.

After landing, Evan saw two guards in silver armour standing in front of the city gate.

'Mid-Level Rank Two...' He raised an eyebrow when he saw even the guards standing outside were mid-level Rank Two Core Evolvers.

"Let's go," Cedar said to Evan and moved towards the guards. He wasn't surprised by their level, as he already knew about them.

In order to enter the city, Cedar paid ten mid-level essence stones—five for him and five for Evan.

When Evan saw Cedar paying ten essence stones, he couldn't help but widen his eyes.

'Fu*k, the people who are managing Star City must be swimming in money just by collecting the entrance fees from the people who want to enter the city.'

"You guys can enter," Once Cedar paid the entrance fees, one of the guards said and allowed them to enter the city.

Cedar looked at Evan who was standing behind him and both of them entered the city.
