Marguerite, who was secretly conflicted, felt the pressure released by Elena from the water screen. She was shocked at first, but then became excited. Without any hesitation, she directly asked Elena, "Sister Elena, have you successfully broken through?"
Elena smiled and nodded in response to Marguerite's question. She then said softly, "Two months ago, with the help of His Holiness, I finally successfully broke through and became a rank 2 Magus. Thus, even though Reyes is powerful and experienced, if the two of us meet in Flosinone, I still have a fighting chance!"
"Moreover, Reyes is now heavily injured by the rank 3 Magus of the Religion of the Earth, McKenna. If the two of us really meet in Flosinone, it is still unknown who will win!" Elena's cold and elegant face revealed a strong sense of confidence.
Seeing that Elena was so confident in facing Reyes, Marguerite blinked her beautiful eyes. She then asked Elena in a low voice, "Sister Elena, did His Holiness Ilsank return the Berserk Frost Staff to you?"
"Marguerite, don't talk nonsense!"
Elena's cold and elegant face changed slightly in response to Marguerite's question. She then denied it without hesitation.
Even though Elena's answer was negative, Marguerite, who was familiar with Marguerite's character, still got the final answer from Elena's expression. She covered her mouth and snickered. The last trace of worry that Marguerite might have to face Reyes had also disappeared.
The Berserk Frost Staff that Marguerite spoke of was a rank 3 magic artifact that Elena's mentor had spent a lifetime collecting alchemy materials to refine. Not only did it have great power, it was also very compatible with the Berserk Frost Staff. When Elena had just become a rank 1 Magus, Elena's mentor had passed away due to her lifespan.
Before she passed away, Elena's mentor had considered that the Berserk Frost Staff, a rank 3 magic artifact, was too tempting to others. Even if it was a member of the Church of the Storm, it would still be difficult for others to not covet it. After her mentor passed away, Elena, who had just become a rank 1 Magus, would have a hard time keeping the Berserk Frost Staff.
Hence, in order to prevent others from coveting the Berserk Frost Staff from the Church of the Storm and pass down this magic artifact that she had spent a lifetime on to her disciple, Elena's mentor had entrusted the Berserk Frost Staff to Pope Ilsank of the Church of the Storm. She had hoped that Ilsank would return the Berserk Frost Staff to Elena after Elena had become a rank 2 Magus.
Now it seemed that as the Pope of the Church of the Storm, Ilsank was indeed very trustworthy. According to the original agreement with Elena's mentor, he would return the Berserk Frost Staff intact after Elena had broken through to become a rank 2 Magus. With the help of the Berserk Frost Staff, a rank 3 magic artifact that was extremely compatible with her own cultivation, Marguerite, whose strength had skyrocketed, had no need to be afraid of Reyes, who had just broken through to become a rank 2 Magus two months ago.
Seeing that her concealment had not been hidden from Marguerite, her sister who had lived with her since childhood, Elena did not bother to hide anymore. She could only helplessly shake her head, and then solemnly exhorted Marguerite, "This matter is extremely confidential. In the Church, only His Holiness and I know about it. You must not reveal it to anyone else, or else even I won't be able to protect you!"
"Sister Elena, don't worry. I'm the most confidential here! Marguerite nodded solemnly and promised Elena. Then she seemed to have thought of something, and after a slight hesitation, she said, "Sister Elena, that guy Humail is very smart. Since His Holiness Ilsank sent you to Flosinone, he might have guessed that the Berserk Frost Staff is in your hands …"
"Yes, that's possible!" Elena nodded and agreed with Marguerite's opinion. Then she changed her tone and said in a deep voice, "Even if Humail knows, what can he do? Right now, he's a Red Cloaked Archbishop, and I'm also a Red Cloaked Archbishop. He's a level-2 Magus, and I'm a level-2 Magus. Even if he has any ideas, what can he do when I take back what my teacher left me? "
"Sister Elena, it's good that you have such ambition. But Humail has a deep grudge against you, and has been secretly suppressing you in the Church. This time, if he knows that you've broken through to become a level-2 Magus, and His Holiness Ilsank has returned the Berserk Frost Staff to you, he definitely won't let it go. You have to be mentally prepared!" Marguerite frowned slightly and said with some worry.
In response to Marguerite's advice, Elena smiled slightly and said very calmly, "This time, after I successfully broke through and stabilized my status as a level-2 Magus, His Holiness Ilsank specially summoned me to have a talk!"
In the end, although Elena didn't tell Marguerite what she talked about with Pope Ilsank, when Marguerite asked her this question, she mentioned Pope Ilsank, which was already very clear.
Marguerite, who was familiar with Elena's style, naturally understood Elena's hint. Her beautiful eyes immediately flashed with a bright light, and her expression became very excited.
"In short, Marguerite, I know you care about Connor's safety, but now that I have great power, if you let him meet me, there will only be benefits and no harm!"
"Marguerite, you have to believe me. Although I don't like Connor Ferguson's way of doing things, for your sake, as long as Connor Ferguson doesn't do anything to harm the Church of the Storm, I naturally won't do anything to him!" After revealing her trump card to Marguerite one by one, Elena once again returned to the original question, which was to ask Marguerite to meet Connor. After saying that, Elena looked at Marguerite, waiting for Marguerite's final decision.
Under Elena's gaze, Marguerite thought for a few seconds, then smiled bitterly at Elena. "Sister Elena, if you want to meet him, of course, if it's under normal circumstances, of course, there's no problem, but as you know, Connor was captured by Hummel's plan and is now in the Navas Forest, searching for the ruins …"
