Chapter 236: Ch 236: Celestial Star Battlefield
Emrys spent the entire day in the auction house and ended up buying the oval-shaped unknown object after spending around 300 million credits.
The highest bid on the first day went up to 700 million credits.
Because the oval-shaped object was unknown, its price didn’t go up much.
Now, two more days were left before the auction will end. Emrys went back to the restaurant and started resting.
.....
_Celestial Horizon_
A powerful Soul Master named Jortis entered a city named North River City. He was here with the purpose of using a teleportation formation to go somewhere.
The North River city was a huge city with a population of ten million Soul Masters, and the weakest among them all were Glowing Star Soul Masters.
Because it was the largest city in a radius of tens of thousands of miles, North River City had a teleportation array that could teleport people. This teleportation array was built by powerful Soul Masters who are said to have descended from "above".
When Jortis arrived at the Teleportation Hall, he realized that the teleportation formation was not as deserted as he had thought. From time to time, he could even see people disappearing or appearing from the teleportation circle.
It was obvious that the transfer array wasn’t just for teleporting to a destination, it could also teleport people here.
Jortis walked forward. He first went to a booth in front of the Teleportation Hall that was responsible for paying up the money, and after paying up, he smoothly obtained the qualification to use the teleportation formation for free.
Upon entering, he discovered that the teleportation hall took up more than ten thousand meters in area. There were two enormous teleportation formations at both ends of the hall.
This kind of large-scale teleportation formation could at least teleport ten people at a time. Naturally, it could not open alone for Jortis, so he could only wait for the teleportation circle to gather in order to teleport away.
In less than ten minutes, eleven more people gathered around Jortis.
According to his understanding, these people were all heading towards Star Lake City just like him.
Why?
It must be because of the "Celestial Star Battlefield".
"This brother, I am Nikolai. I wonder if you are also going to the Celestial Star Battlefield?" Beside Jortis, a slightly fat young man suddenly took two steps towards Jortis and greeted him in a low voice.
Jortis raised his head and glanced at the other party. This was a little fatty who looked quite happy. Although he was not that fat, compared to Jortis who has a strong body, he could be considered slightly off. However, no matter if it was his appearance or his courteous words just now, Jortis had a good impression of this person.
Therefore, he did not ignore the other party’s question. Instead, he asked a question in reply: "Do most of those who are heading to the Star Lake City want to go to the Celestial Star Battlefield?"
"I don’t know about others. At least, I am not going there. After all, Soul Beasts are wreaking havoc in the Celestial Star Battlefield, not to mention, there are other dangers there as well. Although that would allow people to reap a lot of good fortune. But if they are unlucky, they might lose their lives, and that kind of fighting and killing is not suitable. I am not going to Star Lake City to enter the Celestial Star Battlefield, but to do business with Star Lake City." Nikolai said while winking.
Speaking till this point, how could Jortis not know what Nikolai was doing? He was clearly a merchant, a moving merchant at that.
Talking about merchants, Celestial Horizon is special. Although people can find most of the items they want from certain forces and the Federation, there are still moving merchants. These merchants usually have kinds of artifacts and materials that are very rare in the Celestial Horizon and very difficult to find.
However, Jortis did not care much about whether Nikolai was a merchant or not. After chatting for a bit, a person in charge of supervising the teleportation formation walked over and informed Jortis and the others that the teleportation formation was ready. He then asked them to go over.
Since this was the case, the group of people didn’t delay any longer and hurriedly walked over.
When everyone stood on the transmission formation, a dazzling white light immediately lit up.
The next moment, a feeling of weightlessness came over Jortis. It was a feeling that lasted a little too long.
After an unknown amount of time, a blinding white light appeared again. Jortis and the others saw another great hall, and they were still standing in the teleportation formation.
However, what was different from before was that the Teleportation Hall this time round was even more magnificent, and the number of people had increased by a lot. Even the guard standing by the side had changed. It was clear that Jortis and his group had appeared on another teleportation formation.
"Alright, hurry up and get down. Someone is coming from behind!" A guard standing off to the side suddenly let out a low shout.
Hearing this, the group of people did not dare to delay any longer and hurriedly left.
At this time, Nikolai said while grinning: "We still need to change the teleportation formation twice to reach the Star Lake City. Let’s go to the teleportation formation on the other side first, where we can continue to teleport."
With that, Nikolai took the initiative to walk towards the location of the other teleportation formation.
Seeing how Nikolai was so familiar with the structure here, the group of people heaved a sigh of relief. Obviously, it was their first time here, and they didn’t know what to do. Knowing someone better who knows about this place made them feel good.
Under Nikolai’s lead, the group of people paid once again and used the teleportation formation to teleport once again.
This time, the feeling of weightlessness was slightly longer than before. Jortis couldn’t help but click his tongue in shock. It is because the distance that the teleportation circle covered was enormous. Even if it is a Mystical Mist Soul Master, they might not be able to cover this much distance even if they were to travel for three months straight.
However, thinking about it, this place was the Celestial Horizon. It was called Horizon because it was simply too huge, so huge that it is impossible to cover this mass of land even in decades.
The three consecutive teleportation formations that Jortis and the others rode on were connected to each other, so they did not need to travel far to reach other places.
Very soon, they used the third formation as well.
When everyone walked out of the last transmission formation, they were immediately startled by the clamorous scene in front of them.
There were people everywhere. It was simply a sea of people.
The noisy clamor instantly pounced over, causing Jortis and the rest to subconsciously frown.
The teleportation formation where they were currently standing was even more outrageous. It was not located in a teleportation hall, instead, it was located at the very center of a huge plaza. All around them was a simple pavilion to block the wind and rain. And the sea of people filled the empty space around the plaza and the pavilion.
Jortis and the others were looking confused. The guard at the side saw that they were not coming down, and frowned. He walked up a few steps and looked at Jortis and the others, and said indifferently: "Are you guys going to the Celestial Star Battlefield? You can get down from the teleportation formation first, and be careful on the road.
"Alright!" The group of people hurriedly agreed and walked down the stairs. However, they were not in a hurry to leave. The eleven people gathered not too far away from the guard and were still looking around.
Not knowing what was happening, the guard looked at Jortis and the others for a while, then spoke out once again: "Every morning at noon, our Star Lake City will have a special fleet that will head to the Celestial Star Battlefield. All of you take note, if you want to leave the city by yourself, it would be best to find more people to accompany you. If not, it will not be safe."
The guard then waved his hand and left.
Although these words were just casual words from the guard, it was extremely helpful to Jortis and the rest. They immediately nodded their heads in thanks, then walked out of the plaza together.
They were now heading towards the place where they could take the special fleet to head to the Celestial Star Battlefield.
Halfway, Nikolai took the initiative to speak: "Everyone, what are your plans for the future? Should we wait for the fleet to go directly to Celestial Star Battlefield at noon, or linger here for a few days and see if we can find some good stuff first?"
