Wizard Earl

However, according to rumors, the reason why Mr. Lorenzo, a first-level wizard of the Dark Beacon, favored the William Psionic Society was not only because William, the president of the William Psionic Society, was his nephew, but also because sixty percent of the proceeds from each Blue Stone auction held by the William Psionic Society were given to him, while the remaining forty percent of the proceeds from the Blue Stone auctions truly belonged to the William Psionic Society.

However, none of this mattered to Connor. His plan was to disguise himself, pull off a heist, and run away. No matter how strong Lorenzo was or how powerful the Dark Beacon was, they didn't personally guard the Blue Stone Auction House. They couldn't scare away someone as audacious as Connor with just a name!

Even if Lorenzo really wanted to stand up for his nephew William, Connor was in a disguise and had already returned to Frosinone. Where could he possibly cause trouble for Connor?

In the end, the only options are to swallow the bitter pill or find an unfortunate scapegoat to take the blame!

In short, Connor Ferguson is determined to win the Bluestone Auction; even the King of Heaven himself wouldn't stand a chance!

After spending two quiet days at Grandma Max's Inn, Connor, as agreed, drove a carriage to the public cemetery in the north of the city at night.

In this era of vast wealth inequality, where the rich get richer and the poor get poorer, especially in a chaotic place like Vladi where the law is weak, the so-called public cemetery is essentially a mass grave. Not only are the graves haphazardly arranged, but the air is thick with the stench of decay, and in the corners, one can even see stark white bones…

Still disguised as the red-haired, one-eyed man, Connor drove alone to the public cemetery. Although he had arrived early, Connor still noticed that there were already some other people around the cemetery who had arrived in carriages, just like him. It seemed that these people, like him, were wizards who wanted to participate in the Blue Stone Auction.

Although with Connor's current mental strength, even if he probed each of these people one by one, the other party might not find out, Connor still chose not to do so in order not to alert them. He knew very well that this public cemetery was definitely not the final location of the Blue Stone Auction. After everyone gathered, William's Psionic Society would definitely take them to a new place!

After waiting for about half an hour at the public cemetery, eight wizards had arrived by carriage. Just then, under Connor's silent mental surveillance, a mid-level wizard apprentice driving a carriage and wearing a blue robe suddenly began to transmit his voice to each of the wizards who had gathered there.

Although Connor wasn't deliberately eavesdropping, his powerful mental strength still allowed him to clearly hear the blue-robed wizard and the others' voices. The content of the voices wasn't anything special; it was just that the blue-robed wizard was telling the others that he was a member of the William Psionic Society and that they should follow him later.

The blue-robed wizard relayed the same message to Connor, then instructed everyone to drive their carriages and follow him northward.

Seeing the blue-robed wizard leading them north, Connor frowned slightly. After hesitating for a moment, he followed him.

Vladi is a border city, and its city center is less than 30 kilometers away from the border between the Kaman Empire and the Odin Empire. Their current location is only 10 kilometers away from the border in Vladi's northern public cemetery. This blue-robed wizard, who claims to be a member of the William Psionic Society, is actually leading them north!

There is only one reason for this situation: the location of today's Blue Stone Auction is not within the territory of the Kaman Empire, but in the Odin Empire!

Realizing this was truly beyond Connor's expectations. He never imagined that the Blue Stone Auction could pull such a stunt. Whether it was Cornelius's memories or the information Connor learned from other sources about the Blue Stone Auction, they all pointed to one thing: the William Psionic Society kept the location of the Blue Stone Auction very secret and frequently changed the venue.

However, all the previous venues were located within the territory of the Kaman Empire, and the William Psionic Society has never held a Blue Stone auction within the territory of the Odin Empire.

Just as Connor was calculating whether the Blue Stone Auction being held within the Odin Empire would affect his looting of the Blue Stone Auction, when they were only five kilometers from the border between the two countries, the others who were following the Blue Robe Wizard northward also realized that the Blue Stone Auction was being held within Odin's territory, and they all sent telepathic inquiries to the Blue Robe Wizard.

The blue-robed wizard wasn't surprised by the questions. Instead of using telepathy to answer them individually, he loudly addressed the group behind him, saying, "You guessed correctly. Our William Psionic Society, in order to provide you with more comprehensive cultivation resources, has partnered with the Golovin tribe of the Odin Empire to host this Blue Stone Auction. And the auction will be held within the territory of the Odin Empire!"

Upon hearing what the blue-robed wizard said, the wizards following behind him all stopped their carriages. Some of the more hot-tempered wizards were already preparing to hurl insults.

"Our guild leader, Mr. William, is aware that the Blue Stone Auction being held within Odin's territory will undoubtedly have a significant impact on everyone's plans. However, to be on the safe side and ensure the success of this Blue Stone Auction, this is still necessary. On behalf of the William Psionic Guild, I would like to express my apologies to everyone!"

"Of course! We know that an apology alone cannot make up for your losses, so to express our remorse for concealing this matter, our William Psionic Society has specifically communicated with the Golovin Tribe and prepared several rare items for the Blue Stone Auction, such as materials for adult demon tigers, mithril, and Keshimo essence potions. Even the Blue Stones that our guild leader has carefully refined will have their quota increased from four thousand to six thousand this time!"

"Besides these considerations, we also understand your concerns for your safety. If any gentleman wishes to withdraw from the Blue Stone Auction because it is being held within the Odin Empire, our William Psionic Society will not only refund your five magic stones entrance fee but also provide you with an additional five magic stones as compensation!" The blue-robed wizard smiled as he surveyed the assembled crowd.
