Wizard Earl

The auction is named the Blue Stone Auction because William, the president of the William Psionic Society and a senior wizarding apprentice, is an alchemist whose most prized skill is turning ordinary magic stones into blue stones through alchemy.

While the energy in these blue stones, after being processed using alchemy, is reduced compared to ordinary magic stones before processing, the purity of the energy within the stones is significantly increased, making them more easily absorbed by wizards. Therefore, they are very popular among wizards around Vladi.

Perhaps due to his limited education, the alchemist William racked his brains but still couldn't come up with a good name for the blue stone he was refining, so he simply named it Blue Stone!

The auction is called the Blue Stone Auction because at each auction, the alchemist William would sell a batch of blue stones. This is the only channel for selling blue stones. As a result, the Blue Stone Auction has become famous in the area around Vladi, and each time it is held, about fifty wizards can participate.

When Connor first learned about these things, he naturally didn't care or pay any attention. However, since he couldn't get the magic stone from Isabella and Adolf, Connor naturally had to find other ways to get the magic stone!

Theoretically speaking, 10,000 magic stones would be enough to build an energy array for Varga, who is about to break through to the first level of wizardry. However, there is often a difference between theory and practice. So, just in case, Connor asked for 5,000 magic stones, which is why he wrote 15,000 magic stones on the list for Isabella and Adolf!

Fifteen thousand magic stones is no small sum. Even for a small dark wizarding organization, it's equivalent to the entire organization's expenses for a year. So when Connor asked Adolf and Isabella for it, he was prepared for the possibility of being rejected.

In short, this plan is to steal from someone else's pocket. After all, besides the Castia Staff and the Silver Crown Pendant, Connor doesn't have much to exchange for 15,000 magic stones. And Varga, who is preparing to break through to the first level of wizard, can't waste time making a batch of potions for Connor to exchange for magic stones!

At Corecia Manor, Connor chose to abandon the magic stones to deceive Adolf because, although he needed a large quantity of magic stones, he could still obtain them. However, the three treasures—Doron Agarwood, Kosado Giant Lizard Magic Core, and Dark Star Essence—were extremely rare and hard to come by. Varga was only half a month away from breaking through to the first-level wizard level. In such a short time, it would be almost impossible for Connor to find them on his own without the help of a major power!

Therefore, in order to both deceive Isabella and Adolf and obtain the three materials—Doron Agarwood, Corsado Giant Lizard Core, and Dark Star Essence—Connor has no choice but to abandon the Magic Stone!

Although it seems that with Connor's strength as a first-level wizard, it wouldn't be difficult for him to suddenly raid an underground black market and obtain 15,000 magic stones, Connor knows that the turnover of each underground black market event is conservatively estimated to be over 10,000 magic stones!

However, after careful examination, Connor discovered that although there seemed to be many targets, there were actually only a few that could be chosen.

Firstly, Connor will have to stay in Frosinone for some time to come. In addition, the Ferguson family is also in Frosinone. If his true identity is discovered after he starts messing with Frosinone's underground black market, it will be very troublesome.

Furthermore, even rabbits don't eat the grass near their burrows, so unless absolutely necessary, Connor won't consider touching those underground black markets in Frosinone.

If Connor doesn't touch the underground black market in Frosinone, his targets are reduced by half, leaving only the underground black markets in the surrounding cities as options. After eliminating these targets because they have powerful backers and are troublesome to deal with, only three targets remain.

Choosing one of the three options still seems quite lucrative, but unfortunately, apart from the Blue Stone Auction organized by the William Psionic Society, the other two options are not only far from Frosinone, but also have irregular black market events, and most importantly, they are very small in scale. According to rumors, the number of participants is only about a dozen, and the turnover of an auction is usually around five thousand magic stones.

Connor needs 15,000 magic stones, but taking the risk of a heist only yields 5,000 magic stones, which isn't very meaningful. Moreover, once news of Connor's raid on the underground black market spreads, other underground black markets in the surrounding area will definitely strengthen their defenses, making it very difficult for Connor to make a move. Even if he does take forceful action, he will pay a heavy price.

Therefore, for Connor, raiding the underground black market was destined to be a one-off deal. He got 15,000 magic stones in one go. After carefully studying all the targets, Connor found a suitable target for him to take action. After careful selection, only the Blue Stone Auction organized by the William Psionic Society remained.

According to Cornelius's memory, at the Blue Stone Auction, the William Psionic Society usually sells around four thousand Blue Stones, and these Blue Stones are priced at around eight thousand Magic Stones. That is to say, one Blue Stone is roughly equivalent to two ordinary Magic Stones.

The blue stones alone amount to eight thousand magic stones. Adding the other auction items, this blue stone auction can definitely raise the fifteen thousand magic stones that Connor wants.

Looting the Blue Stone Auction House not only satisfies Connor's need for 15,000 magic stones, but also has another advantage: the risk is very small!

According to the information Connor obtained, the William Psionic Society, as a small dark wizarding organization, has only about twenty members. The entire organization, including its leader William, has only three advanced wizarding apprentices. The rest are intermediate and junior wizarding apprentices. More than 80% of the organization's cultivation resources come from the Blue Stone Auction House!

Of course, for a small dark wizarding organization like the William Psionic Society to be able to support a situation like the Blue Stone Auction, there must be a formal wizard backing them up. Otherwise, with just a few high-level wizard apprentices, they would have been robbed countless times already!

Connor had also identified the person backing William's psychic society: Lorenzo, a core member of the large dark wizarding organization, the Dark Beacon, and a veteran first-level wizard. Lorenzo was also William's uncle. William's blue stones and auctions had only been able to proceed peacefully and without trouble thanks to Lorenzo's support…
