After listening to Marguerite's explanation, Elena didn't seem to notice the scheming behind Marguerite's words. She nodded slightly, muttered to herself, and then asked Marguerite, "Is there a chance to arrange a meeting between me and Connor Ferguson?"
"Sister Elena, you want to meet with Connor?" Marguerite asked in surprise. After she finished speaking, Marguerite's brows furrowed slightly. It seemed that she didn't know what Elena's intentions were.
"That's right, I want to meet with Connor. Marguerite, you know that I don't have a biological sister. I've been living in the Church's cloister since I was young, so I've treated you as my biological sister ever since we met. Now that you want to be together with Connor Ferguson, as your sister, I naturally have to help you check!" Elena said with a chuckle.
Although Elena's excuse was good, Marguerite, who had many thoughts, wasn't at ease. She knew that Elena was a Cardinal of the Church of the Storm, second only to the Pope, and Connor was a dark Magus. He was a natural enemy of the Church of the Storm. According to the Church of the Storm's strong stance towards dark Magi, Elena would have to bear a huge political risk if she wanted to meet with a dark Magus like Connor. Once it was discovered by others, it would be very troublesome, and she would have to bear a lot of pressure from within the Church.
If Marguerite didn't remember wrongly, Elena had never met with a dark Magus before today. Therefore, even though she didn't know why Elena wanted to meet with Connor, Marguerite subconsciously wanted to reject Elena's suggestion for the sake of Connor's safety.
However, just as Marguerite was hesitating on how to tactfully reject Elena's suggestion, Elena seemed to have seen through Marguerite's thoughts. The youngest Cardinal in the history of the Church of the Storm wasn't angry and continued with a smile, "Of course, other than checking on Marguerite, I have some other matters to discuss with Connor Ferguson!"
Hearing Elena's words, Marguerite's heart skipped a beat. She blinked her beautiful eyes and acted coquettishly towards Elena, "Sister Elena, what do you want to talk to him about?"
Elena shook her head helplessly at Marguerite's behavior, but still said to Marguerite in a doting manner, "The Church received reliable news that Professor Reyes's two subordinates, Bisping and Southgate, are hiding in Flosinone. Therefore, His Holiness the Pope held a meeting yesterday, and decided to appoint me to Flosinone to oversee everything. I will be leaving for Flosinone in a few days, and I can take this opportunity to meet with Connor Ferguson!"
Although Elena's words seemed normal, Marguerite's political sense was still very sensitive. She quickly discovered the hidden meaning in Elena's words. Her expression changed slightly as she probed Elena through the water screen, "Are the higher-ups not satisfied with Cristante's work?"
Bisping and Southgate, two dark Magi from the Secret Society with the cultivation of official Magi, had appeared in Flosinone. However, Elena, as a Red Cardinal and an absolute high-ranking member of the Church of the Storm, wouldn't be easily dispatched in such a situation. Moreover, the head of intelligence in Flosinone's frontline was Cristante, the Church of the Storm's biggest head of intelligence, overseeing everything.
If Bisping and Southgate's tracks had been discovered and they wanted to take action, resulting in a lack of manpower at the frontline and needed more manpower, according to the usual practice, they would transfer manpower from other areas of the Church of the Storm, and the frontline would continue to be commanded by Cristante. As the head of intelligence in Blake's organization and a high-ranking member of the Church of the Storm, Cristante was fully qualified to take on this responsibility.
It shouldn't be like this, where the higher-ups decided to let Elena, a Red Coat, take action personally. Doing so now undoubtedly meant that the higher-ups had already released a signal that they didn't trust Cristante, the head of intelligence!
Elena wasn't surprised that Marguerite could discover this. Since she had already told Marguerite this, she naturally wasn't afraid of revealing the truth. Therefore, she nodded and indicated that Marguerite was right. Then, she continued, "Marguerite, you've been in Loen for quite some time, so you should know Lena, who's in charge of the intelligence of the Church in the Loen region, right? What do you think of her? "
"Lena?"
Marguerite looked at Elena in surprise. Under her gaze, Elena nodded slightly, indicating that Marguerite didn't hear wrongly. She was asking about Lena.
"When I was in Loen, I was still a high-ranking Sorcerer Apprentice, so I didn't have much contact with Lena. But in these limited contacts, I found that Lena was very calm and very cunning. In order to achieve her goals, Lena would do anything. As a Sorcerer of the Church of the Storm, she was slightly lacking in principles. In short, in my opinion, Lena was a very difficult character to deal with!"
"In addition, after the incident with the Loen Secret Society, Edward became the Bishop of the Loen Church of the Storm. Although Lena appeared to have a business-like attitude when facing Edward, she still secretly helped Edward a lot. For Edward to be able to hold the position of Bishop of the Loen Church of the Storm, Lena had a lot to do with it!"
Elena seemed to value Marguerite's opinion very much. After seriously considering for a while, she said softly to the puzzled Marguerite, "In this meeting, someone proposed that Lena be the deputy director of Blake's Agency to share some of Cristante's work. Although this proposal wasn't voted on, if nothing unexpected happens, it's just a matter of time. I heard that Lena has already started handing over her work in Loen!"
"Is Cristante's problem that serious?" With the previous foreshadowing, Margaret wasn't too surprised that Lena was appointed as the Deputy Director of Intelligence in Blake's Organization. Her beautiful eyes flickered and she asked Elena with some doubt, "What's the matter?
