Marguerite hesitated for a moment, but still told Connor her guess, "As for the second possibility, this message wasn't sent by Elena. Another Red Cloaked Archbishop has come to Flosinone!"
Hearing the meaning behind Marguerite's words, Connor seemed to have thought of something. His expression changed slightly, and he asked Marguerite in a low voice, "Marguerite, do you think that Humail has also come to Flosinone?"
Although Marguerite had given two possibilities, Connor felt that Marguerite had only mentioned one possibility!
According to Marguerite, the higher-ups of the Church of the Storm in Flosinone had basically been wiped out by Reyes. Therefore, it could be said that in Flosinone, the Church of the Storm was in a state of complete chaos for the time being. They posed no threat to Reyes, nor could they stop him from doing anything.
Therefore, under such circumstances, even if Reyes really captured Elena alive, or obtained the secret communication method of the Church of Storms from Elena's memories to send a message, what he should do was to eliminate the root of the problem. He shouldn't send a message to tell Elena's subordinates that he was going to hide. No matter how he looked at it, it was superfluous.
Therefore, the first possibility was superfluous. Therefore, only the second possibility was left. A new Red Cloaked Archbishop had come to Flosinone from the Church of the Storm!
There were only three Red Cloaked Archbishops in the Church of the Storm. They were Humail, Sabith, and Elena. Sabith was the most qualified and the oldest among them, and he was currently in closed-door training in an attempt to break through to become a Rank 3 Magus. It was no exaggeration to say that the possibility of him coming out of closed-door training was less than one in ten.
Therefore, the only Red Cloaked Archbishops in the Church of the Storm who could move around outside were Humail and Elena. Now that Elena had lost to Flosinone and her fate was unknown, if there really was a new Red Cloaked Archbishop, then there was only Humail, the most powerful Red Cloaked Archbishop in the Church of the Storm.
"It's just a guess …" Marguerite said softly in response to Connor's question.
After saying that, Marguerite thought for a while and added, "I think it's highly possible. When they found out that Jovic was a mole, Elena and Cristante immediately contacted Pope Ilsank. There's no doubt that Pope Ilsank would attach great importance to a God's Punisher of the Church of the Storm being a mole."
"Obviously, neither Elena, the Red Cloaked Cardinal, nor Cristante, the Director of Intelligence for Blake's Agency, have the authority to deal with a God's Punisher. The pope, on the other hand, can't leave the headquarters easily, so Hummels is the most likely person to deal with it. He's the most suitable person to deal with it now …" Margaret looked a little sad and said in a low voice, "I'm not sure if it's Punisher or not.
After standing aside and carefully considering the whole matter, Connor asked Marguerite with some doubts, "Can Humail be that fast? From the headquarters of the Church of the Saint Antis Church to Flosinone, even if he took the fastest train, it would still take a few days. Since the incident happened until now, it's only been a few hours. It's not enough time for Humail to get here. "
Marguerite shook her head, then explained to Connor in a low voice, "About 50 years ago, the Empire took the lead and joined forces with the Religion of the Earth and the Church of the Storm to start a project codenamed 'Magic Mirror'. The details of this project are unknown, but it's highly confidential. It was decided by His Holiness Ilsank, the royal family of the Empire, and the High Priest of the Religion of the Earth, Mandans.
"I don't know much about this project, but I've heard Elena talk about it occasionally. The project gathered the best alchemists in the Kaman Empire, including Great Alchemist Fabianski and Great Alchemist Marchei. They started a secret project in 13 big cities of the Kaman Empire. Part of the project is to build a teleportation circle that connects these 13 big cities …"
"A teleportation circle? Connecting 13 big cities? "Before Marguerite could finish, Connor had already exclaimed in surprise.
As an alchemist, although Connor's research mainly focused on magic items and magic circles, and he didn't know much about space, he still had some basic knowledge. For something like a teleportation circle, the further the distance, the more difficult it was to set it up.
In fact, Connor himself had once set up a teleportation array with the help of the A.I. Chip. For example, when he'd obtained the rank 3 magic artifact, the fire element cross sword in the Navas Forest, he'd used a teleportation array. However, Connor had set up a teleportation array that could teleport a distance of a few dozen meters. It couldn't even be considered a small teleportation array, and could only be considered a miniature one. From a technical point of view, there was no need to consider spatial turbulence, energy support, and many other factors. Setting it up wasn't particularly difficult.
But to set up a Spatial Teleportation Array that could connect thirteen major cities was completely different. Spatial turbulence, energy consumption, damage to the Teleportation Array from energy impact, and many other factors had to be taken into consideration. It would be very troublesome. Tens of billions, or even hundreds of billions of calculations had to be made, and there couldn't be the slightest deviation. To be honest, as an alchemist, Connor was well aware of how difficult this matter was, so he didn't believe Margaret's explanation.
Sensing Connor's doubts, Marguerite continued to explain, "I don't know much about the specifics of the teleportation circle, but I heard from Elena that the construction of the teleportation circle that connects 13 big cities in Project Magic Mirror took more than 20 years to complete, and it was only completed five years ago.
"Although the teleportation circle was completed, according to Elena, it consumed a lot of energy every time it was used. Even for a powerful organization like the Church of the Storm with countless cultivation resources, it was very painful to use it once. After it was completed and tested once, it was never used again."
