Picking up the ticket that Connor pushed in front of her, Marguerite checked it carefully for a full three minutes before she put it into her space ring with an intoxicating smile.
Seeing Marguerite's action, Connor raised his eyebrows. However, just as he was about to say something, Marguerite carefully took out a small paper bag from her space ring and pushed it in front of Connor as well.
"This is …?" Marguerite's careful action made Connor extremely curious about this small paper bag.
"Before you open it, I want to remind you that since this is the first time we've cooperated, I've decided to give you some benefits. However, the next time, it will definitely be an equivalent exchange. In addition, don't be delusional about getting this thing from me again, because I don't have it anymore!" Marguerite glanced at the small paper bag with some pity and said.
Upon hearing this, Connor's curiosity surged again in his heart. He simply picked up the small paper bag and gently opened it.
Looking at the small dark powder in the small paper bag, Connor's expression gradually changed from shock to ecstasy!
Although he had written down the magic crystal as an alchemy material in the list of materials he wanted for Marguerite, his original intention was to ask for the magic crystal as a means to ask for a sky-high price. He had never thought that Marguerite would really give him the magic crystal as a top-grade alchemy material!
"This is magic crystal powder?" Although he had already confirmed that the black powder in the small paper bag was magic crystal powder, this was a serious matter, so Connor was very cautious and asked Marguerite for confirmation again.
"Yes!" Marguerite nodded with some annoyance.
As soon as she said this, Connor's face immediately revealed an extremely bright smile. He said to Marguerite very solemnly, "Thank you so much!"
This sentence of gratitude from Connor was absolutely sincere. It came from the bottom of his heart, and there was not the slightest bit of dishonesty.
Magic crystal was a top-grade alchemy material that every alchemist yearned to have. It had the purest energy and could be combined with any alchemy material. As long as you added a little magic crystal to the magic item you wanted to refine, the magic item you wanted to refine would increase its power by several times out of thin air!
Although magic crystal was abnormally wonderful, it was also incomparably precious. It was said that there was no one who could refine it, and it could only be excavated from magic crystal mines. In the entire continent, magic crystal mines could be counted with one hand. All of them were important core interests of various countries and were strictly protected. However, according to rumors, even if someone was extremely lucky and found a magic crystal mine that had not been discovered by others, it would be as difficult as ascending to the heavens to privately mine it.
This was because in order to mine magic crystal mines, one would need 15 large-scale manufacturing factories to produce specially made magic crystal mining machines and parts that could be replaced in case of malfunction, a large-scale geological research institute that was at the top of the era, and tens of thousands of skilled miners. Without any of the above three conditions, it would undoubtedly be wishful thinking to mine magic crystal mines. But if one was lucky enough to achieve these conditions, then congratulations, such a big movement was destined to be impossible to hide and one would be targeted by the powerful agencies of various countries!
Magic crystal mines were rare to begin with, and on top of that, it was extremely difficult to mine magic crystal mines. Therefore, Connor had once seen Reyes's estimation of the production of magic crystals in 'Reyes's Alchemy'. Using the magic crystal mines in the Kaman Empire as an example, the annual production of magic crystals was about 500 grams.
500 grams of magic crystals was actually not that little at first glance. After all, it was enough to refine magic items with 10 grams of magic crystals at a time. However, the real problem was that the Kaman Empire was vast and had dozens of provinces. The number of official Magi in the empire, the Religion of the Earth, and the Church of the Storm far exceeded 100 people. The annual production of 500 grams of magic crystals was simply not enough for everyone. Not to mention, there were also various Dark Magi who tried to stop people from spying on the magic crystals.
The small paper bag that Marguerite gave to Connor contained only about 1 gram of magic crystal powder. However, Connor was still ecstatic. Although 1 gram of magic crystal powder was not much, it was barely enough for Connor to refine the Castilla Magic Staff. At the thought of this, Connor could not help but look forward to his alchemy product that was about to be completed – the Castilla Magic Staff!
After expressing his gratitude, the ecstasy brought by the magic crystal powder in Connor's mind slowly receded. He once again returned to a state of clarity. After pondering for a while, he started to ponder.
He did not believe that a woman like Marguerite who practiced the evil forbidden arts of Blood Sorcery would be so kind as to exchange the magic crystal powder with him for a ticket. He had already checked the magic crystal powder. It was exactly the same as what was described in 'Reyes's Alchemy'. Connor could conclude that there was no problem with it. Since there was no problem with the magic crystal powder, then there must be something wrong with Marguerite!
Seeing that Connor did not say anything else after expressing his gratitude, Marguerite glared at Connor and said, "I've already given you the magic crystal powder. Can't you say it yourself?"
"What do you mean? Isn't this something that I exchanged for the ticket? "Connor pretended to be ignorant and tried to bluff his way out of this.
"Connor Ferguson!" Marguerite gritted her teeth and shouted in a low voice. Her fair and slender hands were clenched tightly. A layer of dark red light vaguely appeared on Marguerite's body.
Seeing that Marguerite's reaction was so intense that it looked like she would start a fight at any moment, Connor coughed lightly and shrugged his shoulders. He said indifferently, "Say it, what do you want me to do? I'm telling you in advance, if it's something too dangerous, you'd better keep your mouth shut! "
Seeing that Connor was no longer evading, Marguerite snorted lightly. The dark red light vaguely appearing on her body slowly dimmed. She muttered to herself for a while and said softly, "You gave me the ticket because you guessed that my target was Enrique, right?"
"You're spying on me?" Connor frowned slightly and his tone turned cold. He knew that Marguerite's target was Enrique from the detective report. Since Marguerite knew and he knew that her target was Enrique, there were only two possibilities. First, Marguerite was spying on him and saw him taking out the detective report. Second, the detective Connor found was one of Marguerite's men.
"Hehe, spying on you? You're just a Beginner Apprentice, are you worthy? The Church has already activated the Divine Eye System in Loen. The Church can use the Divine Eye System to observe anyone below the rank of official Sorcerer! "Marguerite sneered.
