746 Vampires And The Overlord Of The Dark Forest

The strongest force in the Northern Territory of Utopia is Elvenshine, the Empire of the Elves.

In the Southern Territory, Gehenna, the Empire of the Demons is the strongest force.

In the Western Territory, Bloodmoon, the Empire of the Vampires is the strongest force.

In the Eastern Territory, Frozen Monarchy, which is under Winterclaw's control is the strongest force and in the Central Territory, Celestria, the Empire which is under Akasha's control is the strongest force.

Evan and Cedar stood in front of a luxurious looking giant building. People of all kinds of races were entering the building in an orderly manner, each with an expression of excitement.

After observing the crowd for a while, Evan glanced back at the building and looked at the signboard that was flashing at the top of it with a bright red colour despite the fact that it was still afternoon.

"BloodMoon Auction House..." Evan read the name of the building and looked at Cedar.

"This auction house is under the control of Vampires, right?"

Cedar also looked at the name of the building and nodded his head.

"The Star City is located in the Western Territory, so it's obvious that vampires will be the ones controlling the most profitable businesses. Although Star City is a neutral place, the influence of vampires is still the strongest due to the Territory Advantage."

Evan frowned hearing Cedar and a look of confusion appeared on his face.

"Since vampires have the Territory Advantage, can't they just control the entire Star City? I mean, I don't think other forces located in the other territories will be able to stop them if they decide to control the entire city, right?" Evan asked, still looking at the auction building.

Cedar nodded his head hearing Evan. "You are right, the vampires have enough power to control the entire city but..." He said, and a mocking smile appeared on his face. "They can't do it because of the Overlord of the Dark Forest."

"Overlord of the Dark Forest?" Evan was stunned when he heard Cedar and his eyes opened wide in shock. "You mean the World Level monster who rules over the Dark Forest?"

"Yes," Cedar nodded his head and said in a flat voice. "Although we call the area around the Star City neutral territory, it is actually the area that is under the control of the Overlord of the Dark Forest. All the forces that are currently operating in Star City have some kind of agreement with the Overlord of the Dark Forest. If vampires tried to take control of Star City, it would be akin to taking control of the territory that is under the control of the Overlord of the Dark Forest, and this could easily provoke a war between the monsters of the Dark Forest and vampires."

Evan raised an eyebrow hearing Cedar and asked in a doubtful voice.

"Can the monsters of the Dark Forest fight against the Vampires? Isn't the Bloodmoon Empire the strongest force in the Western Territory?"

Cedar smiled upon hearing Evan and replied calmly.

"Although the Vampires are powerful, it will not be easy for them to defeat the monsters of the Dark Forest, especially if they engage in combat within the forest itself, where the monsters hold a natural advantage. Moreover..."

Cedar paused for a moment then added with a sneer on his face. "The other forces of Utopia will also not sit idly if Vampires try to take control of the resources of the Dark Forest. So if a war between Vampires and the Dark Forest were to break out, many forces would support the Dark Forest, and it would not be easy for Vampires to contend against so many forces of Utopia."

Hearing Cedar's explanation, a look of realization flashed on Evan's face and looked back at the auction building.

Looking at the building, Evan couldn't help but think about how great it would have been if the star city was under his control. Then he wouldn't have to worry about essence stones, and he could have easily bought the space stone that he had seen last night.

"Let's go, we should also line up," Cedar said to Evan after a moment, and both of them lined up behind the people who were entering the auction house.

To enter the auction building, a person must have at least one hundred thousand mid level essence stones or something of similar or higher value.

If a person couldn't show enough wealth, then they wouldn't be allowed to enter the building.

Although Evan had spent more than two hundred thousand essence stones in the last two days, he still had around one hundred and ten thousand mid-level essence stones because of the inheritance left behind by Kael and others.

In just a few minutes, Evan and Cedar reached the front of the line. They showed their storage rings to the employee inspecting the entrants, and once the employee confirmed that they had enough essence stones, both of them were allowed to enter the building.

Once inside the auction house, Evan and Cedar saw a female employee with two wings on her back approaching them.

"What do we have to do to get a private bidding room?" Before the female employee could say anything after stopping in front of them, Cedar asked her in a calm voice.

Evan looked at Cedar with a puzzled expression, not understanding why he wanted a private bidding room. However, soon something clicked in his mind, and he decided to stay silent.

The female with the wings behind her back was also stunned because of Cedar's sudden question, but she quickly recovered and said with a professional smile on her face.

"Sir, to get a private bidding room during the auction, you must possess at least five hundred thousand high-level essence stones."

Evan was stunned when he heard the requirement. He quickly converted the amount into mid-level essence stones and couldn't help but inhale sharply at the realization.

'Fifty million mid-level essence stones...' Evan said inwardly as he gulped down his saliva.

Cedar displayed no surprise upon hearing the female employee's words and calmly presented her with a different storage ring than the one he had shown outside.

When the female employee looked inside the storage ring that Cedar gave her, her eyes widened in shock, but she quickly recovered and handed the storage ring back to Cedar with trembling hands.

Evan was stunned when he saw Cedar really had five hundred thousand high level essence stones. He looked at him with disbelief and thought maybe he should have accepted Cedar's offer last night when he was giving him essence stones to buy the Space Stone.

"Please come with me..." The female employee said to them after giving Cedar back his storage ring and led them inside the building.

While following behind the winged female, Evan suddenly thought of something and asked her.

"By the way, can we put our items up for auction?"

The female was surprised when she heard Evan, but she quickly nodded her head.

Seeing the female nodding her head, Evan took out a storage ring and gave it to her.

"See them, I want to put them up for the auction."
