Furthermore, the Conti that Elena mentioned had died in the Loen incident initiated by Reyes more than ten years ago. Many people could testify to Conti's death at that time. How could a person who had been dead for more than ten years come back from the dead, kill Jovic, and impersonate him?
Lastly, there was a crucial point that Marguerite couldn't figure out the most. According to the current strategic plan of the Church of the Storm, the expansion of the Church's mission in the Khoy Continent was one of the most important things for the Church in the next hundred years.
Therefore, under the orders of the current Pope, Jovic, who had full authority over all matters of the Church of the Storm in the Khoy Continent, reported directly to Pope Ilsank. Even the most powerful Cardinal in the Church of the Storm, Humail didn't have the slightest authority over him.
This also meant that if Jovic was Conti in disguise, then even the most powerful person in the Church of the Storm, one of the most powerful wizards in the world, and the most loyal messenger of the Goddess of the Storm, the level-3 Pope Ilsank, couldn't see through Conti's disguise.
Therefore, under these various restrictions, to say that Conti had disguised himself as Jovic and impersonated a God's Punisher of the Church of the Storm was no different from a fairy tale in Marguerite's eyes.
"Marguerite, I know it's hard for you to believe this, but this is the truth. That day at the Mensakar Manor, after Conti realized that his identity had been exposed, he didn't try to hide it anymore and used his Demonic Eye. That's how I was able to confirm that Conti was impersonating Jovic!" Seeing Marguerite's bewilderment, Elena shook her head and told Marguerite more details.
Hearing the words "Demonic Eye", Marguerite's expression changed slightly. She recalled some rumors about Conti in the Sorcerer World. It was said that Conti's ancestor was an exorcist during the Byzantine era who specialized in fighting all kinds of monsters. For some reason, Conti's ancestor was stimulated and lost in his pursuit of power.
This led Conti's ancestor to do a daring experiment. He swallowed a monster that came out of the Abyss. Although the rumors did not mention what happened to Conti's ancestor after he swallowed the monster, whether he went mad, died, or something else was unknown.
The only thing that was certain was that Conti's family had inherited a trace of demonic blood from the Abyss. When it was passed down to Conti's generation, the demonic blood was already very thin. Only a few people could awaken it, and Conti was one of the lucky few.
With the help of the awakened demon blood, Conti, who had cultivated the Great Illusion Technique, had actually cultivated the top technique of the Great Illusion Technique — the Eye of the Illusion. A third eye grew out of her forehead out of thin air. Not only could she see through all illusions in the world like the demons in the abyss, but she could also cast illusions at will, causing others to be immersed in illusions and unable to extricate themselves.
Although there weren't many official Sorcerers in the Sorcerer World who cultivated illusions, there were still a dozen of them. However, Conti was the only one who had mastered the Demonic Eye! Therefore, the Demonic Eye was Conti's unique trait, and no one else could use it!
If Conti was really able to cast the Demonic Eye, it was no wonder Elena was so certain that he was Conti who had died many years ago.
Although Marguerite was beginning to believe Elena's words, she couldn't help but ask the biggest question in her heart. She deliberated over her words and asked Elena in a deep voice, "Do you think the higher-ups have found out who he is?"
Elena immediately frowned. Although Marguerite spoke very tactfully, Elena immediately understood what Marguerite meant. Although Marguerite asked if they had found out who he was, it was obvious that she wanted to know why they hadn't found out. After all, if they had found out who he was, they would have taken action long ago. Why would they stay until now and cause so many casualties for the Church?
Seeing that Elena's face darkened, Marguerite also realized that she had misspoken. She was a little uneasy and didn't know how Elena would react.
"I don't know much. The only thing I know is that except for the incident in Loen where he was ordered to return to the Byzantine Continent once, he has never returned to the Byzantine Continent in the past 20 years. He also didn't go to Saint Antis Church to report to the higher-ups. Although he has never stopped contacting the higher-ups, these communications are all done through some alchemy devices. He has never met them face to face …" Elena, the Red Cloaked Archbishop of the Church of the Storm, really doted on her younger sister, Marguerite. She chose to reveal such sensitive information to Marguerite after careful consideration.
After listening to Elena's explanation, Marguerite fell into deep thought. According to what Elena said, it was understandable that Pope Ilsank didn't discover Conti who was disguised as Jovic.
After all, although the two had been in contact before, it was all based on the alchemy device. They had not met face to face, and there was no doubt that there were certain limitations in this device itself. It was not easy to discover anything. Moreover, Conti was an Illusion Master who had successfully cultivated the Phantom Eye. Without meeting face to face, it was easy to imagine how difficult it would be to discover his flaws through the image projected by the alchemy device.
After pondering for a while, Marguerite realized something. A glint flashed across her eyes, and she asked Elena tentatively, "Sister Elena, I think this matter must have something to do with the incident in Loen that Reyes led back then …"
As soon as Marguerite said this, a cold glint flashed across Elena's eyes. After a few seconds, she didn't answer Marguerite's question. Instead, she whispered to Marguerite, "You should keep these things to yourself. Remember not to tell anyone else, lest you get into trouble."
"Okay, I know what's important and what's important. I'll keep this matter a secret!" Marguerite nodded obediently. Although Elena didn't respond to her probing, to her, Elena's expression already told Marguerite the answer to this matter very clearly.
