"Where in the Odin Empire is this auction being held?" Not long after the blue-robed Mage's words, a man wearing a black cloak and an iron mask coldly asked the blue-robed Mage, "Where is it?
Apart from the blue-robed Mage himself, the others all looked at the blue-robed Mage when they heard this question. This was definitely the most important question they were all concerned about.
Feeling everyone's gazes, the blue-robed Mage hesitated, but he still answered, "Kuit Canyon!"
"Time is of the essence. In order to not delay the journey, I'll give everyone three minutes to consider. If you want to give up on participating in the Bluestone Auction, I can compensate you now. If you want to continue participating, then make your preparations. We'll set off in three minutes!" The blue-robed Mage added under everyone's gazes.
Hearing the blue-robed Mage's answer, the few guys who were originally filled with righteous indignation all became silent. They weren't unfamiliar with the Kuit Canyon mentioned by the blue-robed Mage. The Kuit Canyon was located in the Odin Empire's territory, twenty-five kilometers northeast of the border between the two empires. That place wasn't considered deep in the Odin Empire's territory, and if something really happened, their group wouldn't need long to run back to the Kaman Empire.
After getting this answer, everyone pondered and started considering their own interests, whether or not they should participate in this Bluestone Auction.
After hearing the name of the Golovin Tribe from the blue-robed Mage, Connor started thinking about what he knew about this Odin Tribe.
Although Connor had made some inquiries about the Odin Empire, the Golovin Tribe was only a small tribe, and there wasn't much information about them in the outside world. Thus, Connor only knew that the Golovin Tribe had over twenty Apprentice Wizards and a 1st Rank Wizard overseeing it. Apart from that, Connor didn't know anything else.
Now, the problem in front of Connor was whether or not he should give up on his plan to loot the Bluestone Auction because of the Golovin Tribe's sudden appearance.
According to Connor's plan, even if all the members of William's Psionic Association were to arrive at the Bluestone Auction, Connor could still take them down with the help of the alchemy device without shedding a drop of blood.
But it was different now. The Blue Stone Auction wasn't only being held in the Odin Empire, it was also being held in cooperation with the Golovin Tribe. If that Rank 1 Magus of the Golovin Tribe called Živkovychi appeared at the Blue Stone Auction, then with him holding the fort, as well as the help of the other members of the William Spirit Association and the Golovin Tribe, Connor's plan to rob the Blue Stone Auction would have a very low chance of succeeding.
Logic told Connor that although he didn't know why the Golovin Tribe and the William Psionic Association were holding the Blue Stone Auction together, this was the first time the William Psionic Association and the Golovin Tribe were working together to hold the Blue Stone Auction. As the leader of the Golovin Tribe, Živkovychi would most likely appear at the auction to ensure the success of the auction.
Although Connor was aware of this, he was still unwilling to give up his plan to rob the Bluestone Auction just like that.
More importantly, a few days had already passed since Varga had given him half a month. Connor only had about ten days left to find Magic Stones for Varga. If he gave up on the Blue Stone Auction now, Connor would have to make a new plan to get fifteen thousand Magic Stones. He didn't have enough time!
After thinking seriously for a while, Connor finally made up his mind. His furrowed brows gradually relaxed. Connor couldn't convince himself to give up on his plan to rob the Blue Stone Auction just because of the Golovin Tribe. Therefore, Connor decided to stick to his original plan and participate in the Blue Stone Auction. If Živkovychi didn't appear at the auction, then there was nothing to say. Connor would definitely rob him!
However, if Živkovychi really attended the Blue Stone Auction, then Connor might have to make a long-term plan. If that didn't work, then Connor could only choose to give up this plan and return to Flosinone. He would put his worries aside and rob the underground black market there.
All in all, the fifteen thousand Magic Stones that Varga needed to break through, Connor would do whatever it took to get it for her!
After Connor made his decision, the other Magi participating in the Blue Stone Auction also made their decisions. Out of the seven Magi, two decided to give up on the Blue Stone Auction and return to Vladi after receiving ten Magic Stones from the blue robed Magus. The remaining five, including Connor, decided to continue participating in the Blue Stone Auction.
Connor wasn't surprised by such a result. The items listed by the blue-robed Magus earlier in the Bluestone Auction were adult magic patterned tiger materials, mithril, and Kaisermo's Essence Potion. These were all items that were very practical for acolytes. Under the temptation of these items, the Magi who participated in the secret auction were undoubtedly willing to take some risks!
After reaching a consensus, the blue robed Magus led the people who were driving their own carriages and quietly crossed the border between the two countries. At this moment, Connor also understood why the drunkard Bashuayi, who sold the tickets to the Blue Stone Auction, had asked him to prepare a carriage.
Under the guidance of the blue robed Magus, their group had already been running for more than half an hour. According to the distance on the map, it would take at least an hour to reach Kuit Canyon. Adding the two together, it would take about an hour. The fastest round trip would take at least three hours.
If they didn't prepare their own carriages and relied on the Light Body Spell to support themselves for such a long distance, with the magic power of this group of acolytes, it was estimated that only a few advanced acolytes would be able to complete the journey. The rest of the intermediate acolytes and beginner acolytes would probably not be able to support themselves in the middle of the journey and would collapse on the ground in exhaustion.
William's Psionic Ability Society had prepared carriages to pick them up. With a group of people gathered in one carriage, no one could predict what would happen. It was even possible that they would be tempted by greed. Therefore, preparing their own carriages was the best choice for heading to the auction.
After entering the Odin Empire's territory, Connor stealthily drove his own carriage to the end of the convoy. He then spread his mind power to monitor the surrounding situation. For some reason … For some reason, Connor felt that something was amiss. It was as if something was destined to happen in the Bluestone Auction that he was going to participate in …
