Wizard Earl

Margaret, who was secretly struggling with her feelings, felt the pressure emanating from Elena within the water curtain. Her expression shifted from shock to excitement, and without any hesitation, she directly asked Elena, "Sister Elena, you've successfully broken through?"

In response to Margaret's question, Elena smiled and nodded, then said softly, "Two months ago, with Your Majesty's help, I finally succeeded in breaking through and becoming a Level Two Wizard. So even though Reyes is powerful and experienced, if the two of us were to meet in Frosinone, I wouldn't be without a fighting chance!"

"What's more, Reyes is currently severely injured by McKenney, a level three wizard from the Cult of the Earth God. If the two of us were to meet in Frosinone, it would be uncertain who would win or lose!" Elena's cold and beautiful face revealed a strong sense of confidence as she finished speaking.

Seeing Elena's confidence in facing Reyes, Margaret blinked her beautiful eyes, then whispered to Elena in the water curtain, "Sister Elena, has His Majesty Ilsank returned the Frostfire Staff to you?"

"Margaret, don't talk nonsense!"

When asked about Margaret's question, Elena's cold and beautiful face changed slightly at first, and then she gave a negative answer without hesitation.

Although Elena's answer was negative, Margaret, who knew Elena's personality well, still got the final answer from Elena's expression. She covered her mouth and chuckled, and the last bit of worry in her heart that Margaret might have to face Reyes completely disappeared.

The Frostfire Staff that Margaret mentioned was a third-tier enchanted item crafted by Elena's mentor using alchemical materials accumulated over a lifetime. It not only possessed extremely powerful abilities but was also perfectly suited to the meditation techniques practiced by Elena's lineage. The combination of meditation and the Frostfire Staff created a powerful effect greater than the sum of its parts. When Elena had just become a first-level wizard, her mentor passed away due to nearing the end of his lifespan.

Before her death, Elena's mentor considered that the Frostfire Staff, as a third-tier enchanted item, was too tempting to others. Even within the Storm Church, it would be difficult for others not to covet it. After her death, Elena, who had just become a first-level wizard, would find it difficult to keep the Frostfire Staff.

Therefore, to prevent others in the Church of Storms from coveting the Frostfire Staff, and to pass on this enchanted artifact, which represented his life's work, to his disciple Elena, Elena's mentor entrusted the Frostfire Staff to Pope Ilsank of the Church of Storms, hoping that Ilsank would return the Frostfire Staff to Elena after she became a Level 2 Wizard.

It now seems that Ilsank, as the Pope of the Church of Storms, is indeed very trustworthy. As agreed with his mentor Elena, he returned the Froststorm Staff intact after Elena broke through to become a Level 2 Wizard. With the help of the Froststorm Staff, a Level 3 enchanted item that is extremely compatible with her own cultivation, Margaret, whose strength has increased dramatically, has no need to fear Reyes, who was seriously injured not long ago, even though she only broke through to become a Level 2 Wizard two months ago.

Seeing that her attempt to conceal the truth had ultimately failed her, Elena, her childhood friend and sister, stopped trying. She simply shook her head helplessly and solemnly warned Margaret, "This matter is extremely confidential. Only His Majesty and I know about it within the church. You absolutely mustn't tell anyone else, or I won't be able to protect you!"

"Sister Elena, don't worry, I'll keep this a secret!" Margaret nodded solemnly, assuring Elena. Then, as if she had thought of something, she hesitated slightly before saying, "Sister Elena, that Hummels fellow is very shrewd. His Majesty Ilsank, since he sent you to Frosinone, he might have guessed that the Frostfire Staff is in your hands..."

“That’s right, it’s possible!” Elena nodded, agreeing with Margaret’s assessment, then changed the subject and said in a deep voice, “Even if Hummels knows, so what? He’s a cardinal now, and so am I. He’s a second-level wizard, and so am I. I’m taking back what my teacher left me. Even if he has some ideas, what can he do about it?”

"Sister Elena, it's good that you have this ambition, but Hummels already harbors a deep resentment towards you and has been secretly suppressing you within the church. If he finds out that you've broken through to become a second-level wizard and His Holiness Ilsank has returned the Frostfire Staff to you, he definitely won't let it go easily. You need to be mentally prepared!" Margaret said with a slight frown, somewhat worried.

In response to Margaret's advice, Elena smiled slightly and calmly replied, "After my successful breakthrough and consolidation of my second-level wizard status, His Majesty Ilsank summoned me for a talk!"

In the end, although Elena didn't tell Margaret what she and Pope Ilsanker discussed, the fact that she mentioned Pope Ilsanker when Margaret asked her about it already spoke volumes...

Margaret, familiar with Elena's style, naturally understood Elena's implication. A glint of light flashed in her beautiful eyes, and her expression became extremely excited.

"In short, Margaret, I know you care about Connor's safety, but now that I'm in power, letting him meet with me will only do you good!"

"Margaret, you have to believe me. Although I don't like Connor Ferguson's way of doing things, for your sake, as long as Connor Ferguson doesn't do anything to harm the Church of Storms, I naturally won't do anything to him!" After revealing her trump cards one by one to Margaret, Elena returned to the original question, asking Margaret to meet with Connor. After speaking, Elena, through the water curtain, looked at Margaret, awaiting Margaret's final choice.

Under Elena's gaze, Margaret pondered for a few more seconds, then smiled wryly at Elena in the water curtain and said, "Sister Elena, if you wanted to see him, of course there wouldn't be a problem, but as you know, Connor was conscripted into Hummels' plan and is currently in the Navas Forest searching for that ruin..."
