Faced with Marguerite's series of questions, Elena, who was as cold as ice, was speechless. She could only snort angrily.
Seeing Elena's reaction, Marguerite secretly heaved a sigh of relief. Judging from Elena's behavior and her understanding of Elena's character, although Elena was fierce, she was only saying a few harsh words. As for the higher-ups of the Church of the Storm, they hadn't made a decision to take action against the Ferguson Family yet.
After all, what Marguerite said just now was very realistic. The conflict between the Church of the Storm and the hereditary nobles' camp was getting sharper day by day. If the higher-ups of both sides didn't know that once a war broke out, both sides would suffer losses and there would be no winner, so they were very restrained and kept pouring cold water on the tense atmosphere between both sides to cool down. Otherwise, both sides would have already fought many times.
Therefore, at this very sensitive juncture, if the Church of the Storm took the initiative to attack the Ferguson Family, where Connor Ferguson was, then even if the higher-ups of the hereditary nobles' camp didn't want to start a war, they would have to. If they didn't start a war, they wouldn't be able to explain it to the higher-ups, and the morale of the hereditary nobles' camp would also be destroyed.
Once a war broke out, it would be the beginning of a bloodbath. No one could control the wheel of history, where it would roll over, and what would happen next.
Therefore, this was a responsibility that would directly lead to war. Not only was Elena unable to bear it, even Humail, who held great power, was unable to bear it. In the entire Church of Storms, only Pope Ilsank himself had the final say in this matter. The others only had the right to make suggestions.
Seeing Elena's unhappy expression, Marguerite was very tactful and didn't provoke Elena with words on this topic. Instead, she changed the topic and continued chatting with Elena.
… …
… …
While Marguerite and Elena were chatting happily in the red brick house in the Kompany neighborhood, Connor Ferguson, who had returned to the Ferguson Manor, was sitting in the attic of the manor, concentrating on a silver coin in his hand.
At first glance, this silver coin didn't look any different from an ordinary silver coin, but if one looked closely, they would find that this silver coin couldn't be spent in the Kahman Empire. The reason was very simple. This silver coin wasn't engraved with Emperor Laul's face, but the Goddess of the Storm!
Without a doubt, this was an item that belonged to the Church of the Storm. The reason why this item was in the hands of a dark wizard like Connor was because Connor had just seized it from an advanced wizard apprentice of the Church of the Storm named Pedro.
After Marguerite left with the magic potions, Connor checked the remaining magic potions in the cellar. Although there were many types of magic potions and there were quite a lot of them, there were hundreds of them. However, their value was only above average. The market value wasn't too high, but it wasn't too low either. The market value was between 10,000 to 20,000 magic stones, which was in line with Connor's expectations.
As an alchemist, these magic potions weren't very useful to Connor, so Connor took them back and handed them over to Varga, a professional, to deal with. As for the silver coin he seized from Pedro, compared to the magic potions, Connor was more interested in this item.
According to the memories Connor obtained from the Spirit Manipulation spell he cast on Pedro, although this silver coin with the Goddess of the Storm engraved on it seemed ordinary and only had a commemorative function, it wasn't as simple as it seemed. This silver coin was given to Pedro by the Church of the Storm. It was a magic item used to communicate with his colleagues in the Church of the Storm.
The only thing that made Connor a little regretful was that although he knew the function of this silver coin, he didn't obtain the method to use it from Pedro's memories. However, this wasn't a difficult task for a great alchemist like Connor.
Connor took out an auxiliary magic item in the shape of a bronze mirror from his spatial ring, and placed the silver coin on the surface of the bronze mirror. In the next second, the bronze mirror emitted a warm yellow light under the urging of Connor's mana. The yellow light hit the silver coin, and a lot of information about this silver coin was transmitted to Connor's mind.
After checking for about five minutes, Connor nodded with confidence and put the bronze mirror back into his spatial ring. His right index finger lightly tapped the silver coin with the Goddess of the Storm engraved on it. Following his action, the silver coin immediately emitted a crisp buzzing sound.
At the same time, Connor's mental strength successfully controlled the silver coin in his hand. Seeing this, a proud smile appeared on Connor's chiseled face.
After toying with the silver coin in his hand for a while, Connor was very satisfied and put it back into his spatial ring. He then muttered to himself for a while, and carefully took out a rectangular jade box about 1.5 meters long and 30 centimeters wide from his spatial ring.
Although it was a jade box, this jade box was very different from the traditional white jade box. Not only was this rectangular jade box as black as ink, but there seemed to be a cloud of black gas flowing on the surface of the jade box.
Caressing the jade box with his large hand and feeling the pure dark energy in the jade box, Conor Ferguson realized that his idea had become a reality. No matter how scheming and indifferent Conor Ferguson was, he could not help but reveal a hint of excitement in his eyes when he realized that he was about to gain a great helper.
After muttering to himself for a full minute, the excitement in Connor's heart finally calmed down. He hesitated for a moment, but still didn't make a choice. He opened the jade box here, and in the next second, Connor's figure flashed as he jumped down from the attic of Ferguson's manor, flying towards the depths of the nearby forest.
After flying in the forest for about half an hour, Connor finally found a very secluded small forest. After observing the situation around the small forest, Connor made sure that it was hidden and safe. In order to not be discovered by others, he was very cautious and set up a ward around the small forest.
With the protection of the wizardry barrier, Connor was finally relieved. He sat on a huge rock with his legs crossed and meditated for a while to adjust his state of mind. After a while, Connor used his left index finger as a pen and quickly wrote runes on the jade box.
