Chapter 482: Cross's Secret
Alfie's wishful thinking is a lot of noise, especially with Kroos's "divine assistance", his plan is becoming a reality step by step. The reason why he made a pact with the Joker was nothing more than waiting for an opportunity for Serent to take out and use the parchment scroll as a matter of course.
Alfie knew that if she rashly took out this artifact treasure, it would definitely cause covetousness from all sides and invite unnecessary trouble.
Alfie's plan was undoubtedly perfect, so to speak, foolproof, the only surprise in the middle was that the Joker seemed to sense something suddenly, and in order to save Arrow, Alfie had to reveal his hole card against the Joker and their trio - a powerful paralyzing potion.
Just when Alfie used the potion on the handkerchief to trigger the paralyzing potion lurking in the clown and Planck's body, the divine power of the soul god suddenly descended for unknown reasons, and Alfie immediately changed the plan on the spot, turning the original plan for the clown into a good show to lure the snake out of the hole.
Alfie's ingenious response not only made the fragment of the Soul Chapter in Serent's hand shine, but also eliminated the hatred between him and the Joker and others, and even made the Soul Chapter strengthened by absorbing the divine power of the Soul God from nowhere.
Alfie herself suspected that Cross was an undercover agent of the Lord God faction in Wickburg, and could always "help" him at the right time - Alfie could guess with his toes that the divine power of this soul god definitely came from the "masterpiece" of the Wickburg butler!
'Is the plan feasible?' Alfie telepathically contacted Serent again, ostensibly as a result of Alfie's last resort, but in fact Alfie communicated with Serent at every step of the plan.
It shouldn't be a big problem. After absorbing the dark yellow soul light just now, the parchment scroll seems to suddenly have a lot more spirituality, and it can even communicate with me directly like you. It told me that a part of the Soul Chapter was indeed in the castle, and that it had made contact with that part of it. According to its description, the fragment is supposed to be in Cross's hands. As you might have guessed, it's all Cross's work behind it!' Celent briefly told Alfie the message he had gotten after the evolution of the Sheepskin Scroll.
"Communicate with the Parchment Scroll, if done correctly, if you do it properly, can you snatch the fragment of the Soul Chapter from Cross's hand?"
'I'll ......try,' Sellent hurriedly dropped a sentence, and then there was no sound, apparently communicating with the parchment scroll.
On the other side, the former Cardinal Archbishop Kaufron muttered to himself with a blank expression on his face after Alfie confirmed that the parchment scroll in Selent's hand was a fragment of the Soul Chapter: "The Twelve Movements of Creation of the God of Souls have appeared, why didn't my lord send down the slightest oracle? What does this mean......"
"Fragments of the Chapter of the Soul?" the clown glanced at the distraught Coughren, "You are talking about the Twelve Movements of Creation? Isn't that a legend? Could it be that the Twelve Movements of Creation belonging to the Twelve Gods really exist?"
"Otherwise, what do you think can brand the soul of a Sanctuary powerhouse with the soul of a Soul Serpent?" Alfie gave evidence that made the Joker unable to argue. For a Sanctuary powerhouse who has mastered a trace of the power of rules, only a legendary artifact like the Twelve Movements of Creation can do this.
"Your plan is to use the Soul Chapter fragment from that paladin's hand to remove the Soul Serpent Mark from us? The clown said suddenly. His sleeves suddenly collapsed, and the soul serpent mark on his arm was so vivid and lifelike that it looked like he was alive.
"Please don't worry, after all, we don't know much about this artifact. After receiving an affirmative answer from Serent, Alfie explained to the Joker with a smile on her face.
"The fragment of the Soul Chapter? That paladin's hand turned out to be a fragment of the Soul Chapter! It's great, if I can take this treasure and give it to my master, I will definitely get my master's reward!
Speaking of which, it was a bit of a fluke that Cross got this treasure with obvious characteristics of a soul god. It was shortly after the end of the Great War of Nations, and the guy who called himself Augusta came to make a deal with the castle's owner, Count Delaculal.
Soon after Augusta's departure, Wickaug was destroyed by Fred the Great's attack, and Count Delacoural fell into a deep sleep, leaving all the mess to poor Cross.
Shortly thereafter, Augusta revisited the old place and handed Cross something to the Bronze Serpent. And told Cross a secret, although the Wick Fort was destroyed, the dungeon was buried deep in the ground under the effect of the Heart of Defense, and was not discovered by Fred the Great.
Cross had known for a long time that there were three mysterious prisoners imprisoned in the castle's dungeons, and he did not know the true identities of the three prisoners. Augusta tells him that although the castle is in ruins, there is no guarantee that it will not be coveted by the bounty hunters who covet the castle's treasures.
In order to prevent the petty people from harassing the Earl's tranquility before the heart of defense has established a complete defense system, Cross can have the three prisoners secretly intervene to help solve these hidden dangers.
This little bronze snake was the tool that branded the three prisoners as soul snakes. Cross could use this little bronze serpent to command the three prisoners of extraordinary strength for him to drive.
Augusta taught Cross how to use the three Bronze Serpents, the first of which was a lengthy spell that activated the connection between the Bronze Serpent and the Seal, through which Cross could punish the three prisoners as he pleased, in order to prevent the three unruly prisoners from disobeying his commands.
The second method is a few short syllables, which can be used to brand the new prisoner with the Soul Serpent and turn him into a slave of Cross for him to drive, which, according to Augusta, is to give him strength.
The third method is a rhythm that strikes the bronze serpent, which seems to be faintly in harmony with some kind of music, but unfortunately Cross knows nothing about music and does not know where this rhyme comes from. Augusta didn't tell him what this method was for, only that it could maximize the power of the Refined Bronze Snake.
This was a secret deal between Augusta and Cross, and the only request that Augusta give to Cross was that Cross not tell a third person about the snake's existence, not even his master, Count Dracullar.
