Just when Connor was deep in thought about Old Victor's purpose, his expression suddenly changed. He sensed a familiar aura quietly approaching the back garden of his apartment.
"Marguerite? Why is she here?" Connor lowered his head and muttered to himself. Although he didn't know why Marguerite was here, he was certain that the aura belonged to Marguerite.
Connor took out a new set of robes from his space ring. With a shake of his finger, he changed out of his current clothes and put on the new long-distance running clothes. Because he was refining alchemy bombs, his original set of robes was still clean, but they were all stained with the smell of sulfur. If he wore that set of robes to see Marguerite, no one would know that he was refining alchemy bombs.
After changing into the new set of long-distance running robes, Connor checked his body and didn't find the smell of sulfur. He immediately nodded with satisfaction and put away his spirit fire. He put away the alchemy furnace and went downstairs to see Marguerite who was already in the living room.
"Long time no see!" Connor greeted Marguerite with a smile as he walked down the stairs. She was wearing a luxurious purple robe and was still as graceful as ever.
"Connor, how can you still smile at a time like this?" Glancing at the smile on Connor's face, Marguerite's beautiful face suddenly showed a faint smile.
Feeling Marguerite's shocking tone and looking at her expression, Connor shrugged and said disapprovingly, "What else can I do?"
"It seems that you still don't know what happened. Good luck!" Marguerite sneered when she saw Connor's indifferent attitude. She stood up and pretended to leave.
Seeing Marguerite's unusual behavior, Connor finally sensed a hint of danger. He took a step forward and stopped Marguerite. He frowned and asked, "What happened?"
"Get out of my way!" Marguerite seemed to still be angry with Connor. She ignored Connor and continued to pretend to leave. However, although she said that, Marguerite didn't do anything. Obviously, she was just saying it. Her body was very honest.
"Hehe, I was wrong, I was wrong. Is that okay?" Although Connor didn't know what was wrong with Marguerite, he still coaxed Marguerite like how he coaxed Varga in order to figure out what Marguerite was going to say this time.
Varga seemed to be very pleased with Connor's coaxing. His expression eased a lot, and he reluctantly sat back on the sofa in the apartment.
"A month ago, the Church's headquarters rejected Bishop Edward's nomination for the Loen Arbiter Commander. Instead, they appointed a candidate from the headquarters to command the entire Loen Arbiter system and be responsible for protecting Loen's safety!" Leaning on the sofa in the living room, Marguerite deliberated over her words before explaining to Connor in a deep voice.
Hearing Marguerite talk about the appointment of personnel within the Church, Connor couldn't help but be confused. Who would be the Loen Arbiter Commander and be in charge of Loen's defense had nothing to do with him. Why was Marguerite telling him this?
Just as Connor was puzzled, Marguerite continued, "The Church's rejection of Bishop Edward's nomination for the Loen Arbiter Commander is a very obvious signal. The higher-ups don't want Loen to fall under Edward's control. Edward's nominee for the Loen Arbiter Commander is Borja, who has just broken through from an advanced Apprentice to an official Sorcerer. Borja is the representative of the Loen Arbiter Faction and an old subordinate of Edward's for decades. His loyalty to Edward is far greater than his loyalty to the Church! "
"The fact that Borja became an official Sorcerer came as a surprise to the Loen Church. Before this successful breakthrough, Borja, who was at the peak of an advanced Apprentice, had tried to break through to an official Sorcerer twice, but he failed both times. Even Borja himself gave up on breaking through. But who would have thought that Borja would succeed this time!" Speaking of this, Marguerite's beautiful eyes couldn't help but reveal a hint of doubt. Obviously, she was also one of the people who was surprised by this.
"Because the new Loen Arbiter Commander has not been decided, the previous Loen Arbiter Commander, who is the current Loen Bishop, Edward, was the Loen Arbiter Commander. This time, if Borja was nominated by Edward to be the Loen Arbiter Commander, then the Loen Arbiter Commander would still be under Edward's command!"
"But the Church rejected the nomination and recommendation of the Loen Bishop, Edward, and transferred the outstanding Langley from the Church to be the new Loen Arbiter Commander!" Marguerite said with a straight face. When she mentioned Langley's name, she deliberately emphasized her tone, hinting that Connor was an important person.
Although Connor was aware of Marguerite's hint, after listening to Marguerite for so long, he didn't hear anything related to him at all. This exhausted his patience. He looked at Marguerite and asked in confusion, "Marguerite, what does what you said have to do with me?"
"What does it have to do with me? Do you know that you've been embroiled in the internal strife of the Church? "Margaret sneered as she replied with a resolute and decisive tone.
"I'm involved in the internal strife of the Church?" Marguerite's words left Connor dumbfounded. Marguerite's words were getting more and more incomprehensible to him. How did he get involved in the internal strife of the Church? If the Church of the Storm wanted to capture him, it might be more reasonable!
Without waiting for Connor to ask, Marguerite asked again, "The explosion in the Loen City and the explosion in the Church of Majorca's secret warehouse a few days ago, Connor, were you the one behind it?"
Upon hearing Marguerite's words, Connor nodded and muttered in his heart. The alchemy bombs that Old Victor asked him to refine were highly similar to the explosives he used in the two explosions. Now that he heard Marguerite's words, how could it be related to the two explosions?
Seeing Connor nod, Marguerite sighed. She stared into Connor's eyes and said word by word to Connor, "Connor, you're in big trouble!"
