Chapter 441: "Soft Bones" Coughren
Coughlen was startled by the clown's eyes, and couldn't help but secretly complain in his heart, it was really too much, he originally wanted to please this murderous and unblinking star, but he didn't expect to inexplicably pull the hatred on himself.
"Ahem, little one, I want to know the secret about our missed captures?" Planck hurriedly interjected, noticing that the clown was looking at Coughren with an unkind expression. He still has a lot of incomprehension about the events of that year, and he wants to confirm them from Coughlen.
"This ......" Coughren rubbed his hands in embarrassment, the oracle spell he cast through the Eye of Light could not clearly predict the future of the caster himself, and he could only speculate about his future from some other related prediction pictures, so when Coughren responded to the interrogation of the clown and others, he would be worried, for fear that one would accidentally invite death.
"Planck, don't talk nonsense with him. As soon as the clown's words fell, Coughren let out a terrible cry, and one of the little fingers of his right hand was silently cut off by the clown and fell to the ground.
Knowing about the "glorious achievements" of the Grand Duke of Bavaria, the clown looked unusually irritable. He desperately wants to regain his freedom and challenge the genius. Fighting against the strong has always been the Joker's greatest pleasure.
Especially after the A-letter assassination group has disappeared, the clown is in desperate need of a hearty victory to wash away his shame, and there is nothing to prove this more than defeating or even killing the Archduke of Bavaria.
This made the clown extremely impatient, and as soon as Coughren showed hesitation, the clown immediately and unceremoniously attacked.
"Ugh. Are you going to keep your mouth slappy now?" Planck was clearly taken aback by the Joker's behavior, and the boss he knew was a murderer who didn't blink an eye, but he was by no means a fellow who took pleasure in sadistic behavior.
The Joker's sudden attack on Kaufron can only be understood by Planck as the Joker's resentment towards the Holy See has reached an unbearable point after more than two thousand years of fermentation.
"Okay, okay. It all stemmed from something I got from the Holy See by accident...... "Coughren was clearly not one of those hard bones who would rather die than give in, on the contrary, his weakness was simply outrageous compared to his true identity, and after the inexplicable loss of a finger, he immediately did not hesitate to tell everything he knew in the eyes of the contempt of the crowd......
"So everything about us and the A-letter assassination team stems from a secret note handed down by the Holy See?" Planck asked, skeptically.
"You must believe me!" said Kauflen in an exaggerated tone.
Coughron's "confession" surprised everyone, why did the Holy See, which has the two secret methods of oracle and divine traceability, use this ancient and unsafe way to pass down this secret?
The image of the soft-boned Coughren has fallen to the bottom in the eyes of everyone, not only the Joker and Planck, but even Rebecca and others cast a suspicious look at Coughlen, only Alfie has a thoughtful expression on his face.
Alfie thought of one thing from Coughron's description—his demonic notes, but he remembered that when he gave them to Celrent, the signatures of the notes that Celent saw were different from what he saw, and the signatures on the notes changed as different people looked at them.
A similar effect is also the treasure map in Barnett's hand, as well as the special engineering drawings left by Kenobi in Ingneil's lab, where hidden handwriting can be seen by spraying wine and gas masks, and those handwriting will change wonderfully depending on the person who first looks at it.
In other words, the secret words left in this way can only be seen by certain people, and these measures are a very good way to keep secrets for people who don't know the inside story.
If Kauflon was telling the truth, then the note with this secret should also have this special function, and even if it accidentally fell into the hands of someone else, I am afraid that the secret recorded on it would not be visible. This kind of secret note is indeed a good way to pass on secrets, and Alfie even suspects that the secrets written on such secret notes are as high-end as his demonic notes, and will not be cracked by oracles or divine traces.
Alfie's mind spun around and he thought about so many questions in an instant, and when his attention was fully returned to Coughron, he found that all the people were paying attention to him.
"What's wrong? Do I have flowers on my face?" Alfie subconsciously touched his face, not noticing when he was in the limelight again.
"Little one, you seem to know something about that secret note, judging by your expression?" asked the clown in a dangerous tone, leaning on Alfie's ear and putting his right hand on Alfie's neck. His legs suddenly grew long, making him rise to a height similar to that of Alfie.
"No, no, I just thought of something. Alfie shook her head in denial. Although the Joker seems to admire him, Alfie doesn't dare to take this crazy guy lightly.
"What did you think of?" asked the Joker.
"A treasure map. Alfie didn't care about the clown who was almost close to his face, but gestured at the old dwarf Barnett, and used the treasure map as a shield - he didn't want anyone to know about the existence of the Demon Notes.
Alfie smiled and said to the old dwarf, "Mr. Barnett, take out the treasure map that Mr. Kenobi left you in the first place and show it to Mr. Clown." ”
"Treasure map? But I don't think I remember mentioning it to you, how do you know?" Barnett muttered, but obediently took out the treasure map under the Joker's threatening gaze.
"Ahem, we were ...... your treasure map and Zambit's treasure map" Seeing Barnett's forgetfulness, Alfie had to give a hint.
"Oh yes, yes, I remembered. I probably drank too much and forgot. Barnett gave the treasure map to the clown, giving himself an excuse.
"I don't see anything special about this treasure map...... "The Joker took the treasure map and glanced at it, but found nothing special other than recognizing the location of Wickobaut painted on it.
"I suggest you take a closer look. Alfie motioned with her eyes for Barnett to spray the wine on.
"Sure enough, the treasure map has changed. Let me see—" The old dwarf carefully squirted some wine, and before the clown knew it, he let go of Alfie's neck and returned to his legs. His hand holding the treasure map began to tremble uncontrollably, and his face gradually showed an increasingly obvious look of excitement.
A line appeared on the treasure map: "When you see this line, the light of freedom will shine on you again!"
