Rumor had it that the level-1 wizard of the Lighthouse of Darkness, Mr. Lorenzo, took care of William's Psionic Society not only because William, the president of the Psionic Society, was his nephew, but also because William's Psionic Society gave 60% of the proceeds from the Bluestone Auction to Lorenzo. The remaining 40% of the proceeds from the Bluestone Auction truly belonged to William's Psionic Society.
However, all this did not matter to Connor. His plan was to disguise himself, steal a large sum of money, and run away. No matter how powerful Lorenzo was, and no matter how powerful the Lighthouse of Darkness was, they were not personally stationed at the Bluestone Auction. Their reputation alone was not enough to scare off someone as audacious as Connor!
Even if Lorenzo really wanted to stand up for his nephew, Connor was in disguise and had returned to Flosinone. How could Lorenzo find trouble with Connor?
In the end, they could only swallow their grievances or find an unlucky scapegoat to take the blame for them!
In short, he, Conor Ferguson, was determined to win the Bluestone Auction. Even if the Heavens came, they wouldn't be able to do anything!
After staying quietly in Madam Max Hotel for two days, Connor drove a carriage to the public cemetery in the north of the city as promised.
Nowadays, there was a huge gap between the rich and the poor. The wealthier the people were, the richer they were, and the poorer the people were, the less money they had. Especially in Vladi, which was a very chaotic place with weak legal power, the so-called public cemetery was actually a mass grave. Not only were the tombstones arranged in a disorderly manner, but there was also a faint smell of corpse in the air. There were even pale bones in the corner.
Still in the disguise of the red-haired Cyclops, Connor drove to the public graveyard alone. Even though he had arrived early, Connor still discovered that there were already a few people around the public graveyard who were also driving carriages like him. It seemed like these people were also Magi who wanted to participate in the Bluestone Auction.
With Connor's current mental strength, even if he scanned these people one by one, they might not be able to detect him. However, in order not to alert them, Connor chose not to do so. He knew very well that this public cemetery was definitely not the final location of the Bluestone Auction. When they gathered, William's Psionic Society would definitely bring them to a new place!
After waiting for about half an hour at the public graveyard, there were already eight Magi who had driven their carriages here. At this moment, under the silent surveillance of Connor's spiritual force, an intermediate Magus acolyte wearing a blue robe who was driving a carriage suddenly began to transmit his voice to the Magi who had gathered here.
Even though Connor did not intentionally eavesdrop, his powerful mental strength still clearly transmitted the voice transmission between the blue-robed Sorcerer and the others into Connor's ears. There was nothing special about the content of the voice transmission. It was just the blue-robed Sorcerer telling the others that he was a member of William's Psionic Society and asking them to follow him later.
When the blue-robed Sorcerer's voice transmission reached Connor, he also said the same thing to Connor. After that, the blue-robed Sorcerer called for everyone to drive their carriages and follow him to the north.
Seeing that blue-robed Sorcerer actually leading them to the north, Connor faintly frowned. After hesitating for a bit, he still followed.
Vladi was a border city. The city center was less than thirty kilometers away from the border between the Kaman Empire and the Odin Empire. And their current location was the public cemetery in the northern part of Vladi, which was only ten kilometers away from the border. This blue-robed Sorcerer who claimed to be a member of William's Psionic Society was actually leading them to the north!
There was only one reason for this situation. The location of today's Bluestone Auction wasn't in the Kaman Empire, but in the Odin Empire!
Realizing this was completely out of Connor's expectations. He had never thought that the Bluestone Auction would do something like this. Whether it was in Cornelius' memories or what Connor had learned about the Bluestone Auction from other sources, they all pointed out that William's Psionic Society was very secretive about the location of the Bluestone Auction and would frequently change locations.
But the previous locations were all in the Kaman Empire. William's Psionic Society had never held a Bluestone Auction in the Odin Empire.
Just as Connor was pondering whether the Bluestone Auction being held in the Odin Empire would affect his looting of the Bluestone Auction, the others following the blue-robed Sorcerer north also realized that the Bluestone Auction was being held in the Odin Empire. They all sent sound transmissions to the blue-robed Sorcerer.
The blue-robed Sorcerer wasn't surprised by everyone's questions. He simply didn't send sound transmissions one by one and instead loudly said to everyone behind him, "Everyone's guess is correct. Our William's Psionic Society specially cooperated with the Odin Empire's Golovin Tribe to hold this Bluestone Auction in order to provide everyone with more comprehensive cultivation resources. And the location of this Bluestone Auction is within the Odin Empire!"
Hearing the blue-robed Sorcerer's words, the Sorcerers behind him all stopped their carriages. Some of the more hot-tempered Sorcerers were already prepared to curse.
"Our President, Mister William, knew that the Bluestone Auction being held in the Odin Empire would definitely have a huge impact on everyone's arrangements. But in order to be safe and ensure the success of this Bluestone Auction, we had to do this. On behalf of our William's Psionic Society, I would like to apologize to everyone!"
"Of course! We know that an apology won't be able to make up for your losses, so in order to express our apologies for hiding this matter from everyone, our William's Psionic Society specially communicated with the Golovin Tribe and prepared Mature Magic Pattern Tiger materials, Mithril, Kaisermo Essence Potions, and several other precious items. Even the Bluestone that our President meticulously refined will have its quota increased from four thousand to six thousand! "
"Apart from this, we can also understand everyone's concern for their own safety. If any of you want to give up on participating in the Bluestone Auction because it is being held in the Odin Empire, our William's Psionic Society will not only refund the five Magic Stones for the entrance fee, but we will also compensate you with five Magic Stones!" The blue-robed Sorcerer swept his gaze over everyone present with a smile.
