"Of course not. If I had seen that monster, I wouldn't be doubting it now. I would be certain!" Connor waved his hand and continued.
"When you were setting up the alchemy bomb, Marguerite, I could clearly feel an energy fluctuation that I had never seen before in the underground palace. It was as if something was crawling out of the underground palace through the secret passage. That's why I asked you if you had encountered that mysterious monster. I wanted to warn you, but unfortunately, I didn't manage to hold on and fainted." After saying that, Connor shook his head helplessly.
"At that time, I didn't find anything other than the bodies of Connor and Firo. At that time, Connor fainted again. I was very worried about your safety, so after giving you the potion, I brought you here. I didn't stay in the secret passage for long!" Marguerite briefly explained what happened after Connor fainted.
After saying that, Marguerite's beautiful eyes flashed with a hint of hesitation, but she still mustered her courage and probed Connor, "Connor, I want to tell you something!"
Seeing Marguerite like this, Connor really felt a little strange. Without thinking much, he immediately said, "Just tell me if you have something to say."
Under Connor's puzzled gaze, Marguerite gritted her teeth and said to Connor, "I have an elder sister who wants to see you!"
Hearing Marguerite's answer, Connor was stunned, and then felt even more puzzled. He and Marguerite had known each other for more than a day or two. They had known each other for more than ten years in Loen. He was very clear about Marguerite's background. If Connor remembered correctly, Marguerite should be an orphan who was adopted by the Church of the Storm's convent when she was very young and became a priest of the Church of the Storm. Logically speaking, Marguerite shouldn't have any relatives, let alone an elder sister out of thin air.
Why did an elder sister suddenly appear? And she wants to see me? Could it be that Marguerite found her long-lost family?
After thinking carefully for more than ten seconds, Connor still couldn't think of a reliable possibility. Seeing Connor lowering his head and not speaking, Marguerite thought that Connor was unwilling. She immediately glared at him and said angrily, "Connor Ferguson, forget it if you don't want to!"
As she said that, Marguerite made a move to get down from Connor. Seeing this, Connor quickly hugged Marguerite and said, "Since it's your elder sister, Marguerite, of course, I'm willing to see her. But, Marguerite, have you found your long-lost family member?"
"My long-lost family? Connor, what are you talking about? Upon hearing Connor's question, Margaret was first taken aback, then she asked doubtfully,
"Marguerite, weren't you an orphan who grew up in the Church's cloister? Now that you have an elder sister, shouldn't you have found your family? "Although Connor was a little puzzled by Marguerite's reaction, he still explained.
After hearing Connor's explanation, Marguerite finally understood what Connor meant. She said in amusement and annoyance, "It's true that I'm an orphan, and it's also true that I entered the Church's cloister when I was young. But who said that only blood-related people can call me elder sister?"
After explaining, Marguerite couldn't be bothered to beat around the bush with Connor. She said directly, "I'll tell you the truth. Elena is my elder sister, and she's the one who wants to see you!"
The huge amount of information contained in Marguerite's words immediately stunned Connor. It took him a few seconds to react. He said hesitantly and doubtfully, "Marguerite, the Elena you're talking about, is it Cardinal Elena of the Church of the Storm?"
"That's right! That's her! " Under Connor's questioning gaze, Marguerite nodded with certainty, telling Connor that he was right.
After receiving confirmation from Marguerite, Connor wasn't happy at all. On the contrary, he immediately frowned and looked extremely solemn. When the two of them first got to know each other in Loen, Connor already knew that Marguerite was Elena's assistant. She was responsible for helping Elena deal with some matters and was one of Elena's trusted subordinates.
However, Connor didn't realize that Marguerite and Elena had such a close relationship. Marguerite actually regarded Elena as her elder sister. This made Connor feel very troubled …
Connor was the one who handled Milik's corpse, so Connor knew very well that the Church of the Storm definitely knew about the news of Milik's death at this time. It was just that they didn't know who killed Milik at this time. At this time, as the Church of the Storm's Cardinal Elena, who was second only to Pope Irsank, asked to meet him through Marguerite. To be honest, although Connor was willing to believe Marguerite, he couldn't guarantee that he wouldn't think too much about it.
Seeing Connor's reaction, Marguerite, who had been in love with Connor for so many years and was very familiar with his personality, naturally knew that Connor's paranoia was acting up again. However, she didn't care too much. She gently punched Connor with her delicate fist, then leaned close to Connor's ear and whispered, "Connor, let me tell you something. It's considered a secret even among the upper echelons of the church. My elder sister, Cardinal Elena, has broken through to become a level-2 Magus …"
Hearing Marguerite say this, Connor was instantly shocked. Before Marguerite could finish, he cast a surprised look at her. Sensing Connor's shock, Marguerite wasn't surprised, because this was her initial reaction when she first saw the power of a level-2 Magus from Marguerite.
"Although the news of Elena breaking through to become a level-2 Magus has been blocked internally by the church, this news won't stay hidden for long. At most three months, the news will definitely spread in the Magus World. In addition, apart from breaking through to become a level-2 Magus, Pope Ilsank has secretly handed over the level-3 demonized Violent Frost Staff to Elena.
"The Violent Frost Staff is the demonized artifact of Elena's mentor, Lord Carmelia. When Lord Carmelia was about to pass away, Elena had just broken through to become a level-1 Magus, so she wasn't strong enough. Lord Carmelia was worried that the Violent Frost Staff, an incomparably precious level-3 demonized artifact, would be easily coveted by others and bring disaster to Elena. Therefore, he handed the Violent Frost Staff to Pope Ilsank and requested His Holiness Pope Ilsank to bestow the Violent Frost Staff to Elena when she becomes a level-2 Magus," Marguerite patiently explained the origin of the Violent Frost Staff to Connor.
