"This Violent Frost Staff was a grade 3 magic item that Lord Karmeley had specially found an alchemist to forge based on his own cultivation characteristics. It is very compatible with her meditation technique. As Lord Karmeley's student, Elena's cultivation technique is also in the same vein as Lord Karmeley's."
"Therefore, this Blizzard Staff is very suitable for Elena. It will greatly enhance her strength. With the help of the Blizzard Staff, although Elena is still no match for Hummel, her strength should be on par with the God's Punishers of the Church!" Margaret looked at Connor and said meaningfully, "That's why this Blizzard Staff is very suitable for Elena. It will greatly increase her strength.
After carefully pondering over Marguerite's words, Connor was really a little confused. He did not know what Marguerite meant.
"Marguerite, do you know why Elena wants to see me?" Connor, who still couldn't figure it out, decided not to think about it anymore. He directly asked Margaret, "What's going on?
Hearing Connor's question, Marguerite sighed slightly. She then deliberated over her words and said, "Connor, you are now involved in the internal power struggle of the Church of the Storm …"
"What do you mean, Marguerite? What does Elena's breakthrough to become a level 2 Magus have to do with me? " Connor asked, puzzled. Marguerite's words were really confusing, making him even more confused.
"Connor, don't be anxious. Listen to me slowly. Before Elena broke through to become a level 2 Magus, among the candidates for the next Pope of the Church of the Storm, only Cardinal Humail had reached the level 2 Magus realm. Therefore, Cardinal Humail formed an absolute suppression over the other candidates. Therefore, in the Church of the Storm, Humail surpassed the other Cardinals and the Church's Elder Yun. He was almost second only to Pope Ilsank and above tens of thousands of people!"
"However, Humail was a very aggressive person in the Church of the Storm. Not only was he tough on outsiders, but he was also tough on some of the internal conflicts within the Church of the Storm. He did not know how to compromise at all and violated the interests of many people both inside and outside the Church of the Storm. Therefore, although Humail had many supporters in the Church of the Storm, in reality, there were many people who opposed him!"
"And the reason why so many of these people who dislike Humail remain silent and don't express their dissatisfaction with Humail is because they all believe that Humail has a high chance of becoming the next Pope, so they don't want to offend him too much."
"Elena and Hummel are both Cardinals who are second only to the Pope. They have a high status in the Church. She has been known as a cultivation genius since she was young in the Church. She has broken many records of the Church's cultivation speed. She is appreciated by many of the Church's elders. In the Church, she is widely believed to be one of the most promising candidates to succeed His Holiness Irsanc as the next Pope, aside from Hummel."
Now that Elena had broken through to become a rank 2 Magus, Humail's absolute advantage in terms of cultivation over the other candidates of the Church of the Storm's Pope was broken. In other words, Humail's chances of becoming the next Pope of the Church of the Storm were not as stable as before. If the probability of Humail becoming the next Pope was 90% in the past, then the probability now should be 70%! "
"Don't think that it's only a 20% decrease. This is enough to make those in the Church whose interests have been violated by Humail start to become restless. As the saying goes, the enemy of an enemy is a friend. These people who are dissatisfied with Humail are Elena's natural supporters in the competition for the next Pope."
"Before she became a rank 2 Magus, although Elena appeared to be aloof from worldly affairs and had little interest in the Church's power and becoming the next Pope, I knew very well that in her heart, she was someone who was very ambitious for power. She wanted to become the first female Pope in the history of the Church of the Storm!"
The reason why Elena didn't seem to care about power and becoming the next Pope was entirely because she was very calm. She knew that she couldn't go against Humail at that time, so she chose to play it safe. "
Elena's strategy could be considered to be very successful. Humail was really numbed by her performance. Although he was always wary of Elena, he didn't really target her. You have to know that he never showed mercy to the other candidates who could threaten his position. They either died or were injured. Basically, none of them had a good ending … "At this point, Marguerite shook her head and sighed.
After carefully listening to Marguerite's explanation of the internal secrets of the Church of the Storm, Connor had some understanding of the fierce struggle for the position of the next Pope within the Church of the Storm. However, he still didn't understand why Elena wanted to see if he had anything to do with the internal struggle of the Church of the Storm. He still had some doubts on his face.
After sighing, Marguerite saw Connor's expression. She organized her words and continued to explain, "Previously, Elena's strength wasn't enough, so she chose to restrain her ambition to numb Humail. Now that Elena has broken through to become a level-2 Magus, and with the help of the Storm Staff, although her strength is still not equal to Humail's, she is enough to pose a threat to Humail."
"The increase in her strength has made Elena very confident. She has decided not to hide her ambition anymore. She wants to compete with Humail for the position of the next Pope. Now that the Church of the Storm has unified their opinion to deal with Reyes, if Elena gets rid of Reyes, there is no doubt that her prestige in the Church will increase greatly. This will greatly increase her bargaining chip to compete with Humail for the position of the next Pope!"
"That's why Elena wants to meet you, Reyes's student. She wants to see if she can gain any advantage! After explaining Elena's motives in detail, Marguerite finally exposed Elena's motive for meeting with Connor.
After hearing Marguerite's explanation, Connor finally understood the doubts in his heart. He shook his head helplessly. Ever since he started cultivating, became a Magus, and stepped into the Magus World, Connor Ferguson had gained many benefits from his mentor, Reyes. However, there were also countless dangers and troubles for no reason. He didn't know if it was his fortune or misfortune to become Reyes's student.
