"The most powerful person in the Church of the Storm is Pope Ilsanke. Ilsanke himself is the most powerful person in the Magus World. He has the cultivation of a rank 3 Magus and is in possession of the most powerful magic artifact known in the Magus World, the Storm Staff. His strength can only be described as terrifying!"
"The power structure of the Church of the Storm is like a pyramid structure. Under Pope Ilsanke, the most powerful people in the Church of the Storm are the three Cardinals. They are Cardinal Humail, Cardinal Sabbiter, and Cardinal Elena. Among the three Cardinals, Elena has inherited the authority of her teacher, Lord Camille, who returned to the embrace of the Goddess of Storm. She is a newly promoted Cardinal, and because she is only a rank 1 Magus, she has the least power among the three Cardinals!"
"Sabbiter is the oldest of the three Cardinals, but because he is nearing the end of his life, he has not shown himself in the Church for the past five years. He has been in seclusion, trying his best to break through to the rank 3 Magus realm! Therefore, the remaining Cardinal Humail is, in fact, the second most powerful person in the Church of the Storm, second only to Pope Ilsanke. Because His Holiness Ilsanke is not young, the Church has secretly regarded Humail as His Holiness' successor, the next Pope of the Church of the Storm, the apostle of the Goddess of Storm! "
"This Langley is one of the trusted subordinates of Cardinal Hummel. Although he is only a rank 1 Magus, he has an extremely powerful rank 3 magic artifact in his hands. Hence, he can be described as having few rivals among rank 1 Magi. Once Langley breaks through to become a rank 2 Magus, the church will officially confer him the title of the church's new God's Punisher!" Margaret's expression was solemn as she tirelessly told Connor the secrets of the Church of the Lord of Storms.
"Marguerite, what you mean is that the new Arbiter Commander of the Loen Church, Langley, was sent by Cardinal Humail, the second most powerful person in the Church of the Storm?" Although he did not understand why Marguerite said that he was involved in the internal conflict of the Church of the Storm, this did not prevent Connor from forming a simple understanding of Marguerite's narration.
Marguerite nodded and said with certainty, "That's right! That's what I mean. Do you remember the turmoil in the secret society in Loen? On the Church's side, Her Excellency Elena appears to be in charge, but in fact, the ones in charge are Divine Punisher Abidal and Red-Robed Archbishop Hummel. In the Church, other than Pope Ilsanc, only Hummel has the ability to mobilize the Church's Divine Punisher Jovich, who is stationed in the New World, to reinforce Abidal in Loen! "
"But you know what happened later. Although the turmoil in the secret society in Loen seemed to have been quelled, God's Punisher Abidal died in battle, Jovich was seriously injured, and Cardinal Humail personally led the operation. It can be said that it was a failure. Fortunately, Adel, who was still the Arbiter Commander of Loen, stood up and saved the Church's last dignity.
"However, after this battle, with Adel's outstanding performance, Cardinal Humail, who originally wanted to prove to the Church that he had the ability to become the new Pope, ended up in an extremely sorry state. And the faction in the Church that opposed Cardinal Humail once again used Adel as an example to voice their doubts about Cardinal Humail's ability to become the new Pope. They were extremely mocking of Cardinal Humail!
"Because of Adel's achievements in the riots, he was unstoppable in becoming the new bishop of the Loen Church of the Storm. Therefore, Cardinal Humail, who had just suffered a defeat, didn't go against the trend and choose to stop him. But now, things are different. Adel's nomination of Borja to be the Arbiter Commander of Loen gave Cardinal Humail an opportunity!
"As Humail's trusted aide, Langley came to Loen this time and became the Loen Arbiter. The significance of this is self-evident. He came with a mission. He wants to get rid of Adel. Just a few days ago, at a high-level meeting in the Church, Langley had already begun to voice his doubts about Adel. And the starting point he chose was the explosion in Loen and the explosion of the Church's secret warehouse in Mallorca that you caused!
"I have to say, Connor, the way you used the explosion to cover up your tracks is very effective. Adel's subordinates haven't made any progress in locking onto your identity. So once Langley, as the Loen Arbiter Commander, solves the two explosions and catches you, Connor, the instigator, it will be a big blow to Adel's prestige!"
Marguerite explained the whole story to Connor in one breath. In the end, she also directly pointed out the reason why she said that Connor was involved in the internal strife of the Church of the Storm.
He just wanted to get some Black Rock Grass so that Varga could make a Mystical Potion to help him break through to an advanced Apprentice Adept. Who would have thought that there would be so many connections behind the scenes!
"Marguerite, you mean that the new Loen Arbiter Commander, Langley, is coming to arrest me?" After pondering for a moment and digesting the huge amount of information in Marguerite's words, Connor confirmed with Marguerite with a black face.
Hearing that an official Adept wanted to arrest him as a means to attack the faction's opponent, Connor's first reaction was to curse. His next reaction was to run away. An official Adept, moreover, the Loen Arbiter Commander, who commanded hundreds of Church Arbiters, was determined to get rid of Connor. Connor didn't think that he could hide for long. Therefore, since he couldn't afford to provoke the other party, for the sake of safety, the only thing Connor could do was to run away. I can't beat you, but I can at least leave, right?
Marguerite seemed to be very familiar with Connor. She saw Connor's grave expression and knew what Connor was planning. She couldn't help but smile and said, "Connor, you really think highly of yourself …"
