After receiving the potion from Marguerite, Elena, who was hiding in the red brick house, immediately began to treat her body. Marguerite, who was alone, didn't show any impatience. She found a clean spot in the red brick house and sat down. She closed her eyes and waited for Elena to recover.
Perhaps the potion from Marguerite was very effective, Elena's condition was soon under control. Elena didn't let Marguerite wait for long. After resting for an hour, Marguerite found Elena by her side.
At this moment, other than Elena's pale face and weak aura, she didn't look much different from her usual self.
Marguerite and Elena exchanged glances. Marguerite could clearly feel how bad Elena's condition was.
Under Marguerite's gaze, Elena forced a smile and apologized to Marguerite, "I'm sorry."
Although Elena didn't say why she was sorry, Marguerite knew it very well. She shook her head and said in a low voice, "It's fine. It's normal."
As a Magus, when she was severely injured and weak, she would undoubtedly become very sensitive and suspicious. In the past, Margaret had tasted this feeling many times. However, at times like this, she could still rely on Connor Ferguson, while Elena could only rely on herself. Thinking of this, the resentment that rose in Margaret's heart towards Elena not only disappeared, but also a trace of pity towards this' sister 'of hers.
Although they didn't say it out loud, the grudge between Marguerite and Elena disappeared. They started a new topic. Marguerite hesitated for a while, but still decided to ask Elena, "Jovic … Did he really betray the church?"
Ever since the incident, although Marguerite was with Connor, she had been thinking about the Church of the Storm. She couldn't understand why Jovic, the God's Punisher, who had a high position in the Church of the Storm, would betray the church that he had served all his life. He was willing to be a spy for the Secret Society and hurt his colleagues. How did this have anything to do with the third most powerful person in the Secret Society, Conti, who had died more than ten years ago?
This question had been bothering Marguerite for a long time. It made Marguerite feel uneasy. That was why she still plucked up the courage to ask Elena this question even though she knew it wasn't something she should know.
Hearing Marguerite's question, Elena's pale face turned serious. She hesitated for a long time, but didn't say a word. Seeing this, Marguerite felt a little disappointed, but she tactfully continued, "I shouldn't have said anything. It's about the God's Punisher of the church. I shouldn't know about it."
"Well … Actually, it doesn't matter if I tell you, Marguerite. It won't be long before everyone knows about it," Elena sighed and said helplessly after Marguerite finished.
Elena then looked at Marguerite and said carefully, "Jovic can be said to be a spy in the Secret Society, but it can also be said that he isn't."
"What do you mean?"
Hearing Elena's words clearly, Marguerite was struck dumb. She thought for a while and said with confusion, "What do you mean?
Facing Marguerite's question again, Elena finally didn't keep her in suspense. She said calmly, "The real Jovic died a long time ago. Conti, the No. 3 of the Secret Society, took over Jovic's body and pretended to be him."
Although Marguerite had expected this to be unbelievable, she was still astonished when she heard the truth from Elena. It took her a long time to recover from the shock.
After a full minute, Marguerite finally digested the news. However, she still couldn't believe it. She looked at Elena who was close to her and asked again.
Elena wasn't surprised by Marguerite's reaction. When she first found out the truth, she was even more astonished than Marguerite was now. However, facing Marguerite's gaze, Elena put on a wry smile on her cold face again. She then nodded to let Marguerite know that she was right. Jovic, the God's Punisher of the Church, was the No. 3 of the Secret Society, Conti, in disguise.
Although Elena confirmed it again, Marguerite still found it hard to believe that this was the truth. If someone other than her trusted sister Elena had said this in front of her, Marguerite would have thought that the other party was joking.
Killing Jovic, disguising himself as Jovic, and becoming a rank 2 Magus of the Church of the Lord of Storms sounded easy, but in reality, it was as difficult as ascending to the heavens!
As the God's Punisher of the Church of the Storm, Jovic was stationed in the Khoy Continent and not in the headquarters of the Church of the Storm. However, because he was in charge of the preaching of the Church of the Storm in the Khoy Continent, he was the typical "Governor of the Border" of the Church of the Storm. He was like a local tyrant in the Khoy Continent and had close contact with the headquarters of the Church.
Taking a step back, it was impossible for Conti to kill Jovic, who was also a level-2 sorcerer, without the Church of the Lord of Storms noticing. Every official sorcerer in the Church of the Lord of Storms had to leave a crystal ball in Saint Antis Church that was related to their soul. Once the sorcerer's soul was destroyed, the crystal ball would shatter as well. There had been no exception for so many years.
In addition, the Khoy Continent was not as peaceful as the headquarters of the Church of the Lord of Storms. There were crooks mixed in with the honest folk, and various forces were intertwined with each other. It was very chaotic. As a God's Punisher, Jovic often had to deal with some matters. Sometimes, when dealing with matters, it was inevitable that he would have to fight with others. Therefore, how could a dark Magus like Conti, like Jovic, use the traditional ice spells of the Church of the Lord of Storms without being noticed?
