"It's good that you know what you're doing!" Jovic saw that Reyes had made up his mind, so he didn't ask any further.
"I've already made arrangements in the new continent. In three days, there will be a few dark Magus organizations there. In order to stabilize the situation as quickly as possible, the Church won't let you go back to the capital to tell them what happened. Instead, they'll take possession of your body and meet you in the near future!" Reyes reminded him.
Jovic nodded heavily, and his face became very serious. Even if he was very confident in his own abilities, he still had to be very cautious when meeting the pope of the Church of Storms, a rank 3 Magus whose name had shaken the continent for hundreds of years.
"Once you return to the new continent, I'll leave everything there to you!" Reyes looked straight into Jovic's eyes and said solemnly.
"Leave it to me, Reyes. Don't worry. I've sacrificed my body and paid such a huge price to possess Jovic. I won't let anything go wrong!" Jovic clenched his fists and promised solemnly.
"Very well. You can go now. I'll take care of the rest!" Reyes nodded at Jovic's words.

"Balero is dead! Black Magi bastards, surrender now. I, Edward, as the Arbiter of Loen, will guarantee your safety! "
Edward's furious roar resounded through the ruins of Nantes Manor as he raised a head with a shocked expression and body covered in wounds.
Nantes Manor was no longer as grand as it was before. There was not a single intact building left, only broken fences and dilapidated walls. The ground was littered with the corpses of the Church's Arbiters and the dark Magi who had ambushed them.
The surviving Arbiters and Dark Warriors were still fighting with all their might in this hell on earth. Both sides were originally in a stalemate, but with Edward's roar and his raising of the head, the stalemate was broken!
Some of the dark Magi among the attackers saw the head held high by Edward, and their eyes were immediately filled with hatred. They shouted the slogan of revenge, and launched an even more ferocious counterattack against the arbiters beside them. However, even more of the dark Magi had fear in their eyes, and they began to slowly retreat.
On the other hand, the Church's arbiters' morale was boosted. Their morale soared as they gritted their teeth and launched a full-scale counterattack!
In such a situation, the leaders of the dark Magi who were entangled with the other Arbiters exchanged glances. They knew that they could not win, so they immediately set an example and gave the signal to retreat to their subordinates!

"Reporting to Captain Adele. We have eliminated all the Dark Sorcerers who attacked the manor. Captain Lucas asked me to ask you what our next step should be." An Advanced Apprentice Arbiter looked at the white-haired old man in front of him with admiration. He bowed respectfully and asked, "Sir, I'm sorry, but I'm sorry."
Adele pondered for a moment and said, "Go back and tell Lucas that although we won this time, we also suffered heavy casualties. Don't pursue the enemy for the time being. When Lord Abidal returns, he will decide what to do!"
"Yes, Lord!" After receiving Adele's order, the elite Arbiter bowed again and turned to report to the Church.
Adele looked around at the church personnel who were cleaning up the battlefield and treating the injured. He quietly left the scene and quietly went to a broken basement in the manor.
When he entered the basement, Adele saw the elegant gentleman who had been waiting for him for a long time. Without greeting him, he asked directly, "Is he dead?"
Reyes looked at Adele with a faint smile and nodded. "Of course. Since I'm here, of course he's dead!"
Even though Adele didn't explicitly state who the "he" he was referring to was, Reyes clearly knew who this "he" was.
After hearing Reyes's answer, even someone as cunning as Adele subconsciously relaxed.
However, this relaxed expression did not linger on Adele's face for long. He seemed to have thought of something and said seriously, "I heard that Lord Jovic, who is in charge of guarding the New World for the Church, secretly came to Loen a few days ago!"
"Conte and I joined forces to fight him and Abidal," Reyes said faintly.
Upon hearing Reyes's words, Adele's expression froze. However, he did not have to wait too long before Reyes continued, "In the end, Abidal and Conte both died. Jovic and I suffered some injuries. He should be hiding somewhere to recuperate now."
"But don't worry. Although there's an unexpected situation like Jovic, I've already arranged for people to start a riot in the New Continent. After Jovic reports to that old fart, the Pope, in Loen, he will quickly return to the New Continent to stabilize the situation!"
Adele sighed slightly and said, "With Abidal's death, with my reputation in Loen, as long as Jovic doesn't jump out, I can control the situation. However, Elena is a threat. Professor, I need your help!"
"Elena can't die!" Reyes rejected Adele's request without hesitation.
Adele frowned and asked, "Can you tell me why?"
Reyes glanced at Adele and said calmly, "Abidal is dead. If Elena dies as well, it'll be too obvious. The Imperial Capital isn't just for show!"
Adele thought about it for a moment. His brows relaxed and he said, "Professor, you're right. I didn't think it through. I can join the Secret Society at any time now!"
Adele's attitude made Reyes smile. He nodded slightly and said, "There's no hurry. As we agreed, we'll wait until you officially become the Loen's Bishop. We've invested so much in you. We won't let anything happen to you."
"What about the dark warlocks?" Now that they were done discussing the most important issue, Edward changed the topic.
"Those people are just pawns that I've driven with benefits. They're a contribution I've prepared for you when you become the Bishop. I only have one request for them. Eradicate them completely. Don't let a single one of them go!" Reyes's tone was extremely calm, but it was this calm tone that directly determined the life and death of hundreds of people who worked for him.
