1052 You Talk Too Much (Part 1)
Seeing that he was about to reach the Fragile End, Evan stopped the airship a few hundred kilometres away from the city and summoned Elora back into his soul space.
After summoning her, he left the airship, put it back inside his storage ring and flew towards the city on his own.
"Creating such a large city in the middle of a vast forest must have been quite challenging, especially with so many monsters lurking inside the forest..." Evan muttered to himself as he looked at the city in front of him.

Similar to Star City, the Fragile End also had tall buildings reaching thousands of meters high. People of different species were roaming inside and even though he didn't enter the city, he could still feel the powerful auras of many core evolvers.
Soon, Evan reached the city gate and landed some distance from it. People from different species were continuously going in and leaving the city, and even though the city was in the middle of a vast forest, there were no guards standing outside to guard the entrance.
'Well, there are many Rank Five core evolvers in the Fragile End, so it's understandable that people are not worried about the monsters of the forest,' Evan thought to himself as he entered the city.
Because of the Abyssal Shroud, Evan's aura was completely hidden and no one could see that he was just a mid-level Rank Two Core Evolver.
Because no one could feel his aura, people didn't find it strange that a Rank Two core evolver like him had come to the Fragile End alone.
As Evan entered the city, he was greeted by the sight of different kinds of shops selling equipment, potions, materials, and various other items. The thing that he found strange was that most of the equipment being sold were actually Rank Three with some even being Rank Four.
'It's rare to see even Rank Two equipment being sold in Star City, but here, people are selling them like cabbage...' Evan thought with a surprised look on his face.
However, when he considered that most of the people in the Fragile End were Rank Three or above, it made sense that there were many high-level pieces of equipment. After all, people who came to the Fragile End usually entered the Forbidden Land and it's essential to have good equipment while entering a dangerous place like that.
'I don't need any equipment, but I still need to buy some Fortitude Potions and a map for the Forbidden Land,' Evan said inwardly and after walking for a while, he came to a potion shop.
The environment of the Forbidden Land was quite harsh and ever-changing.
Upon entering the Forbidden Land, you might find yourself in a place engulfed in ice where even Rank Three and Rank Four core evolvers would turn into ice statues in just a few minutes. But just a few minutes later, that ice area might turn into a boiling desert where you would turn into a charred corpse without being able to do anything.
In order to protect themselves from the harsh and ever-changing environment of the Forbidden Land, people have to use Fortitude Potions that can save them from the harsh environment.
Fortitude Potions are special potions made using the Aegis flowers that can only be found inside the Forbidden Land. Without Fortitude Potions, it's very difficult for core evolvers to safely explore the Forbidden Land.
Fortitude Potions come in different ranks, from Rank One to Rank Five. The higher the rank of the potion, the greater its effect. However, shops only sell potions from Rank One to Rank Three, as Rank Four and above Aegis flowers are very rare, making it difficult to create high-level potions.
Evan didn't care too much about the high-level potions because, from the information he got from Searoth and Anastasia, he knew that he would be able to easily survive in the environment of the Forbidden Land using Rank Three Fortitude Potions.
The price of high-grade Rank Three Fortitude Potions was very high, reaching 20 million high-grade essence stones.
Although the price was very high, Evan still bought five of them, spending one hundred million essence stones.
"The effect of one potion can last for a month, so I can stay in the Forbidden Land for five months," Evan said to himself and left the potion shop.
After leaving, he wandered the city for a bit and finally found a shop selling maps of the Forbidden Land.
Although the environment of the Forbidden Land was ever-changing and the map was not very useful, it could still help him determine the territories of the different tribes that lived there. At the same time, it could make him more familiar with the Forbidden Land as he didn't know where he should go after entering. fÉŸeewebnoveâ.coàč
Although the spirit of the Tower of Ascension told him to go to the Forbidden Land of Utopia, it didn't specifically instruct him on where to go after entering.
After purchasing the map, Evan left the shop and headed towards the exit of the Fragile End, having bought everything he needed.
While he was walking towards the exit, he suddenly noticed a Rank Three Beastkin covered in injuries, surrounded by a few men.
Evan was planning to ignore them, but when he heard what they were talking about, his footsteps halted and he listened to their conversation with keen interest.
"I'm telling the truth, the Stone Tribe has gone berserk and is hunting all the core evolvers in their territory," The injured Beastkin said in a voice filled with fear.
"We were five people who entered their territory, but they suddenly attacked us. Because of the sudden attack, the four people who went with me were all killed. I am the only one who successfully escaped."
The people who heard the Beastkin were stunned, and one of them asked in a serious voice, "What was the rank of the Stonemen who attacked you?"
The Beastkin took a deep breath hearing the question and said in a trembling voice.
"There were a total of three Stonemen who attacked us. Among them, two were Rank Three, and the last one was at least beginner level Rank Four."
