"Edward is a cunning old fox. Although Mariano isn't his student in name, Edward has always treated Mariano as his successor. A month ago, he applied to the church headquarters to give Mariano the potion to help him break through to senior apprentice. In fact, he made Mariano the leader of the Loen Arbiter Team in order to pave the way for Mariano to apply for the potion. His plan was successful, and the headquarters has approved Mariano's application. Unfortunately, the only mistake Edward made was to let Mariano deal with you …" The mysterious' sister 'continued in a calm voice.
Marguerite nodded, and then said hesitantly, "Sister, I'm going to use Lena to tell Edward about Kuluszewski. Lena has a very reliable spy named Milito, and I've bribed him to say that he found out about Kuluszewski. Lena shouldn't suspect anything."
"You bribed Lena's spy, Milito? When did this happen? " Marguerite's mysterious' sister 'was surprised to hear Marguerite's words, and there was a hint of disbelief in her voice.
Marguerite blinked her beautiful eyes, and said, "About half a year ago, Milito's mother had a very serious heart disease, and she needed Milico potion with a purity of 70%. Milito couldn't find it anywhere, so he decided to steal the potion from the church's treasury. At that time, I was in charge of guarding the treasury, so I caught Milito on the spot."
"As I knew that Milito was Lena's man, I didn't make it public. Instead, I investigated Milito and gave him the Milicon Medicament. Elder sister, you know that old woman Lena has high requirements for people around her. Once she knew that Milito had stolen the medicament, Milito would die miserably. Therefore, after I caught him, I asked Milito to pass the information about the old woman to me. The information that he passed to me so far is basically correct."
After listening to Marguerite, the mysterious woman in a purple veil didn't immediately answer Marguerite's question. Instead, she fell into deep thought. After a long time, she raised her head and continued to talk to Marguerite, "From what I know of Ms. Lena, her people are very loyal to her. She was abandoned by the church for more than ten years because of that incident, and none of them betrayed her."
"Sister, you mean …?" Marguerite's eyes flashed, as if she had heard something from the mysterious woman's words.
The mysterious woman in a purple veil waved her hand and explained, "I've already left the matter of Loen to you. I'll leave Loen tomorrow and return to the church's headquarters. I'm just telling you what I know now. Marguerite, you have to make your own decision. No matter what you choose, I'll support your decision!"
"I understand. I'll take care of this matter." After the mysterious woman finished speaking, it was Marguerite's turn to fall into deep thought. A minute later, Marguerite recovered from her thoughts and nodded solemnly.

… ….
Connor, who was hiding in his own apartment, felt that something was wrong. He realized that Mariano's identity wasn't as simple as it seemed. According to his observation, the scene of Mariano's death, which was Kanter Avenue in the North District, had been closed for three days. One must know that Kanter Avenue was the main road in the North District of Loen. There were more than a thousand carriages coming and going every day. Now that Kanter Avenue was closed, the carriages had to take a detour every day. This directly caused the traffic in the North District of Loen, as well as the other three districts near the North District, to be very bad.
The bad traffic not only caused inconvenience to pedestrians, but also had a very bad impact on Loen's commercial city. Both the Loen House of Lords and the House of Commons were cursing, but it still couldn't change the fact that Kanter Avenue was closed. If this continued, it would be impossible for Kanter Avenue to be restored in a short period of time. Obviously, an intermediate wizard apprentice couldn't cause such an impact.
Because things were getting weirder and weirder, Connor really wanted to take a closer look at Kanter Avenue. However, if he went there himself, he might be discovered. So yesterday, Connor used his mental power to hypnotize a detective and let the detective secretly walk around Kanter Avenue with a crystal ball that he refined with a video function. The detective took back an hour-and-a-half long video and showed it to Connor.
After watching the one and a half hour long video, Connor discovered something very valuable in the video. The people in charge of guarding the scene of Mariano's death weren't Loen's police or military police under normal circumstances, but arbitrators from the Church of the Lord of Storms. Furthermore, from the valiant disposition displayed by the arbitrators in the video, it was very likely that they were the Loen's Church of the Lord of Storms' third arbitrator team that Margaret had once mentioned to him.
The Loen Arbiter Squad was formed with the captain as the core. There was no specific sequence, but the Third Arbiter Squad was an exception. The number of people in the Third Arbiter Squad was unknown. Their strength was unknown, and the identity of the captain was unknown. The only thing that was known was that the Third Arbiter Squad was directly under the command of the bishop of the Loen Church of the Storm. The appearance of the Third Arbiter Squad meant that the bishop of the Loen Church of the Storm, Edward, attached great importance to this matter! If that was the case, it would explain why the Loen House of Lords and House of Commons were cursing Mariano, but Kanter Avenue was still closed.
Before killing Mariano, Connor had already guessed that the reason why Marguerite wanted him to kill Mariano was not simple. But now, it seemed that Connor had underestimated Marguerite.
"Phew …" Connor finished the red wine in his glass in one gulp. He leaned against the sofa and slowly exhaled. Then, he stood up from the sofa, tidied up his things in the apartment, put on the mask that he had meticulously made, and quietly walked out of the apartment through the back door. Although Connor's intuition told him that there was no problem, given the current situation, Connor felt that he had to activate the safe house just in case.
