751 You Are A Lunatic (Part 1)

In the auction house, the atmosphere was deadly silent. Even Lucian, who was hosting the auction, had a blank look on his face.

After a few seconds of silence, Lucian finally came back to his senses and looked in the direction of private room no. 25 with an excited look on his face.

"The gentleman present in room no. 25 just bid 3 million high-level essence stones. Is there anyone who wants to bid higher?"

The auction venue remained silent even after hearing Lucian, and no one increased the price of the airship.

"Since no one is increasing the bid, then this airship is sold to the bidder in room no. 25. Congratulations."

Once Lucian announced the winner, all the people finally came back to their senses and looked towards room no. 25 with a shocked look on their faces, wondering which tycoon was inside it.

"I thought those guys were just normal people with no background, but normal people can't possibly have this kind of wealth..." In room no.1, Thomas frowned and tapped his finger on the armrest of the chair. After a moment of silence, he took out a crystal from his storage ring.

"Looks like I will have to make a few more preparations if I want to catch that guy..." Thomas muttered and sent a message using the crystal.

The bidders in the other private rooms were also stunned, and all of them looked in the direction of Cedar's room with narrowed eyes.

They all had enough essence stones if they wanted to compete against Cedar, but their main goal was the Enlightenment Stone, so they couldn't waste the essence stones on the airship.

While the people were wondering about Cedar, he was laughing inside the room.

"Hahaha, I finally have my own airship," Cedar said loudly when he successfully got the airship.

Evan came back to his senses when he heard Cedar's loud laughter and looked at him with a speechless look on his face.

He opened his mouth to say something but did not know what to say.

Three million high-level essence stones!

Evan converted them into mid-level essence stones and found it were 300 million mid-level essence stones. He thought about converting them into low-level essence stones but found his heart wasn't strong enough to say out such a huge number, so he gave up.

After the airship, Lucian started auctioning off other items, but Evan didn't pay attention to them.

After a few minutes, he finally cleared his mind and calmed down.

"Hey Cedar, you have enough essence stones to pay for that airship, right? I am telling you now, but I will not be cleaning this auction house with you for the rest of my life to pay off your debt."

The smile on Cedar's face disappeared when he heard Evan's words and he looked at him with a strange look on his face.

"Of course, I have enough essence stones to pay for that airship. Do you think I am an idiot who would try to cause trouble here when I know there are many high-level core evolvers present?"

Evan's tense expression relaxed when he heard Cedar and he nodded his head.

"You are not going to compete for the Enlightenment Stone?" He asked after a moment.

Cedar smiled when he heard Evan. "Why do you think I am not going to compete for the Enlightenment Stone?"

Evan's mouth couldn't help but twitch when he saw Cedar's smile and he said in a speechless voice.

"You've already spent three million high-level essence stones on that airship. Although it's my first time at an auction, I can still tell that the price of the Enlightenment Stone will be very high. If you're planning to buy the Enlightenment Stone, you shouldn't have spent three million high-level essence stones on that airship."

Cedar shook his head when he heard Evan and looked at the auction venue from the glass wall.

"I know the Enlightenment Stone will be very expensive, but..." Cedar said and closed his mouth with a smile on his face.

"But what?" Evan asked, raising an eyebrow when he noticed Cedar wasn't planning to say anything further.

"You will know once we return to the closed world of Drayds," Cedar said and shook his head at Evan's question.

"I will know after going back..." Evan's confusion only deepened upon hearing Cedar's response.

"I will show you something once we return to the closed world," Cedar said and didn't speak any further.

Evan wanted to know what Cedar was talking about, but he saw that Cedar had no intention of speaking further, so he did not ask anything.

After the airship, Lucian auctioned a few more items. Evan was hoping to see items like Blood Soul Crystal or the Time Liquid in the auction, but unfortunately, they didn't appear.

After half an hour, all the items were auctioned off, leaving only the Enlightenment Stone.

"Now for the final item of today's auction..." Lucian announced loudly as the fox woman brought out something covered with a silver-coloured cloth.

The fox woman stopped near Lucian, and he removed the silver-coloured cloth, revealing a small round stone that was five centimetres in diameter.

The stone was black in colour, with small white dots resembling stars glowing inside it.

When the Enlightenment Stone was revealed, the noisy auction house turned completely silent, and all the people looked at the small stone with a look of desire on their faces.

As Evan gazed at the stone, he felt his mind entering a state of trance, making it easier for him to understand complex things.

"So this is the Enlightenment Stone," Evan muttered in a stunned voice, feeling the stone's effect despite its distance from him.

"As all of you know, the Enlightenment Stone is one of the rarest treasures in the world," Lucian said after showing the Enlightenment Stone.

"The starting bid for the Enlightenment Stone will be 10 million high-level essence stones and the increment will be 500 thousand essence stones each!"
