Did he think the top three were all useless? It's not something you can get just because you want it. However, he knew that Rudy would definitely not be his friend anymore if he said all of that, so he was forced to swallow his words.
Rudy continued to say, "I'm just wondering which prize he'll get, not if he gets one. If he doesn't get a treasure, then he wouldn't be Fane anymore..."
After hearing that, Aaron was even more doubtful. He really wanted to give Rudy some advice, that the higher Rudy's hopes were, the more painful it would be in the end. Rudy had very high hopes on Fane. Did Rudy not know what placing in the top three meant?
Hearing his words, it was like Rudy was even more confident in Fane than Fane himself. Before, Aaron had already been confused by Fane's confident actions and words.
Looking at Aaron who seemed like he did not know what to say, Rudy snorted, "I know what you're thinking. Honestly, I can understand, but you don't know anything about us. That's why you think we're crazy..."
The moment he said that, the Heaven Array suddenly let out a golden glow. The next second, the words ' golden treasure' appeared in front of everyone. When they saw those words, all the arguments and
discussions immediately disappeared.
They could not believe their eyes. It was the first time they had seen those words on the Heaven Array. In the last six groups, four of them saw nothing being sent back at all.
This time, not only was something sent back, it was none other than the golden treasure that was sent back. Everyone was so shocked that they did not know what to say. They could not even believe what was actually happening.
After a while, someone finally pointed at the Heaven Array, trembling, "Are my eyes deceiving me? It's a golden treasure. An alchemist from Hestia Continent got a golden treasure. Is this real? Am I dreaming?"
"I'm wondering the same thing too. I suspect that I'm dreaming. All of us are!"
"Oh my gosh, we really got a golden treasure? Who got it? Was it Nash? His skills were actually that strong. He actually exceeded Rudeus and got a golden treasure! It's unbelievable. I was ignorant to assume that he was weaker than Rudeus."
"I thought the same too. I felt like he would be able to get a black treasure at most. A golden treasure is something unbelievable. I can't believe this dream actually came true. It's absurd!"
"It's not just you who thinks it's absurd. Everyone here does too!"
It was just like that person said. Everyone was filled with disbelief! An alchemist from Hestia Continent had actually gotten first place! Before, the results of their earlier six groups had been abysmal compared to the two other continents.
A golden treasure was something they did not even dare to think about, yet they actually managed to get it. At that moment, there were many questions in everyone's minds, but after a few minutes, they started to get excited.
A golden treasure was not just a little better than bronze or black treasures. Once the golden treasure was brought back, it needed to be shared with everyone. The victor could pick first, but could only choose one. The rest was left for everyone else
A happy mood swept across the place. Even those who had been cursed and berated by Rudeus before were incredibly happy and pleased at that moment.
