The reason why the auction was called the Bluestone Auction was because William, the president of the Spirit Ability Association, was an advanced Magus acolyte. He was an alchemist, and his proudest technique was to use alchemy to process normal magic crystals into a type of blue stone.
Although this blue stone that had been processed through alchemy had less energy than the normal magic crystals, the purity of the energy within the stone was much higher. This made it easier for Magi to absorb, which was why it was very popular among the Magi around Vladi City.
Perhaps it was because he wasn't very educated, but Alchemist William couldn't think of a good name for the blue stone that he had refined. So he simply named it Blue Stone!
The reason why the auction was called the Bluestone Auction was because Alchemist William would sell a batch of Bluestones every time the auction was held. This was also the only channel for the sale of Bluestones. Hence, the Bluestone Auction was very famous around Vladi City. Every time it was held, there would be about fifty Magi participating.
When he first found out about this, Connor did not care about it at all. However, since he did not get any magic crystals from Isabella and Adolf, Connor could only think of other ways to get magic crystals!
In theory, if he were to build an energy gathering spell formation for Varga, who was about to break through to become a rank 1 Magus, it would only cost ten thousand magic crystals. However, in theory and in practice, there were often differences. Hence, just in case, Connor asked for an extra five thousand magic crystals. This was why he wrote down fifteen thousand magic crystals in the list that he gave Isabella and Adolf!
Fifteen thousand magic stones was not a small sum. Even for a small dark sorcerer organization, this amount was equivalent to a year's worth of expenses for all the members of the organization. Hence, when Connor wanted Adolf and Isabella, he was already prepared for the possibility of being rejected.
Simply put, this plan was to snatch magic crystals from someone else's pockets. After all, other than the Castilla staff and the silver crown pendant, Connor did not have anything else that could be exchanged for fifteen thousand magic crystals. As for Varga, who was preparing to break through to become a rank 1 Magus, he would not waste his time refining potions for Connor to exchange for magic crystals!
In Coresia Manor, the reason why Connor had chosen to give up on magic crystals to confuse Adolf was because, although he needed a lot of magic crystals, he could still obtain them. However, the Doron Agarwood, the magic core of a Cosado Lizard, and Dark Star Essence were treasures that could only be found by chance. Varga was about to break through to become a rank 1 Magus in half a month's time... Connor alone would not be able to find them without the help of a powerful Magus!
Hence, in order to confuse Isabella and Adolf, as well as obtain the Doron Agarwood, the magic core of a Cosado Lizard, and the Dark Star Essence, Connor could only give up on magic crystals!
Although it seemed that, with Connor's strength as a rank 1 Magus, it would not be difficult for him to raid an underground black market and obtain fifteen thousand magic crystals. Connor knew of a few underground black markets that were held with a conservative estimate of ten thousand magic crystals!
However, after careful research, Connor realized that although there seemed to be many targets, there were only a few that he could choose from.
Firstly, for a period of time in the future, Connor would still be in Flosinone. Furthermore, the Ferguson family was also in Flosinone. If his identity was discovered by others, it would be very troublesome.
Moreover, rabbits do not eat the grass near their burrows. Hence, unless there was no other way, Connor would not consider touching Flosinone's underground black markets.
If he didn't touch the underground black market in Flosino, Connor's targets would be reduced by half. He was only left with the underground black markets in the surrounding cities. After eliminating these targets, he only had three targets left. Since the forces behind them were huge, and it would be troublesome to deal with them.
Choosing one out of the three might seem like a rich choice, but regrettably, other than the Bluestone Auction organized by the William Psionic Society, the other two targets were not only far from Flosinone, but the timing of the black markets was also irregular. Most importantly, their scale was very small. According to rumours, there were only about ten people participating, and the profit of an auction was usually around five thousand magic crystals.
Connor needed fifteen thousand magic crystals. If he could only obtain five thousand magic crystals after taking the risk, then there was not much meaning to it. Moreover, once the news of Connor raiding the underground black markets spread out, the surrounding black markets would definitely increase their security. It would be very difficult for Connor to make a move then. Even if he forcefully made a move, he would have to pay a huge price.
Therefore, robbing the underground black market was destined to be a one-off business for Connor. He could earn 15,000 Magic Stones with a single transaction. After carefully studying all his targets, Connor realized that the only target suitable for him to take action was the Bluestone Auction organized by the William Psionic Association after much deliberation.
According to Cornelius' memory, the William Psionic Society would usually sell around four thousand Bluestones at the Bluestone Auction, and the selling price of these Bluestones was around eight thousand magic crystals. In other words, one Bluestone was equivalent to two normal magic crystals.
Just the Bluestone alone was worth eight thousand magic crystals. In addition to the other auction items, the Bluestone Auction would definitely be able to gather the fifteen thousand magic crystals that Connor wanted.
Apart from being able to satisfy Connor's requirement of fifteen thousand magic crystals, there was another advantage to raiding the Bluestone Auction, and that was that the risk was very low!
According to the information that Connor had obtained, as a small dark Magi organization, the William Psionic Society only had around twenty members. The entire organization, including President William, only had three advanced apprentices. The rest were intermediate apprentices and beginner apprentices. More than eighty percent of the organization's cultivation resources came from the Bluestone Auction!
Of course, for a small dark Magi organization like the William Psionic Society to be able to support a situation like the Bluestone Auction, they definitely had the backing of an official Magus. Otherwise, with just a few advanced apprentices, they would have been raided many times over!
Connor had already investigated the person backing the William Psionic Society. This person was a core member of the large dark Magi organization, the Lighthouse of Darkness. He was a veteran rank 1 Magus, Lorenzo. This person was also William's uncle. The Bluestone Auction that William created and the Bluestone Auction were all under the care of this person. It was only because of this person that they were able to continue operating peacefully without anyone finding trouble …
