Mysterious Walker at Hogwarts

Chapter 358 The Mystery of the Code

"It's cool~" Dean roared excitedly.

Due to some reasons in his previous life, Dean was jealous and disgusted with Fusang, who was born as King Kong, so he might as well have taken the opportunity to vent his anger.

After King Kong, the human sandbag, completely gave up resistance, Dean felt that a lot of the anger in his heart had been vented.

After watching Dean's performance throughout, Serente was also filled with fear. Only now did he understand how polite Dean was to him before, and he never touched a finger of his even if he was dissatisfied.

After waking up King Kong with water like a spring again, Dean sat next to King Kong who was beaten like a pig's head and asked: "Do you recognize the reality now?"

That relaxed tone was as if it was another person who beat King Kong just now.

King Kong nodded desperately, indicating that he was really convinced. He didn't want to die in a foreign country without returning to his own time.

"Now answer my question honestly, why did the church let you go?" Dean asked, patting King Kong's cheek in an insulting manner.

"...They hope I can get something back in exchange for my freedom." King Kong's self-esteem only lasted a few seconds before it completely collapsed.

"What?" Dean asked, casting his eyes on Serent.

"Banned Book of the Code of Independence."

King Kong's answer was not surprising at all, but what surprised Dean was that after hearing the name, Serent's expression didn't change at all, as if the book had nothing to do with him.

"Then who is the big shot in the church who made this deal with you?" Dean asked.

The big shots in Serende's mouth, the big shots in Gruul's mouth, the big shots in King Kong's mouth, and the big shots in the church seem to be everywhere, but Dean has never been able to get the names of the big shots from the other two people. Now he can only tell the names of the big shots. Hope is pinned on King Kong, who has no integrity.

It's not that Dean hasn't thought about using Legilimency, but considering the church's attitude towards wizards, he must be on guard against Legilimency.

Dean didn't want to completely break up with Serent and Gruul, so he couldn't use Legilimency on them.

But for King Kong, Dean has no psychological burden. If he is not honest... Dean even has a little expectation.

It's a pity that Dean overestimated King Kong's backbone. As soon as he asked this question, King Kong immediately betrayed the big shot without hesitation: "Du Plessi! It's Du Plessi!"

Dean was not too surprised, because he was the one who handed King Kong to Du Plessis in the first place, but Serente's expression was not so natural. If Dean hadn't sealed his mouth with magic, he would have Blaming King Kong - He obviously did not believe that Du Plessis was the one who instructed King Kong.

Today was destined not to be Serent's lucky day, and Dean's next question hit him even more seriously.

"As expected." After Dean made a brief evaluation, he continued to ask: "Did Du Plessis tell you how to retrieve the "Independence Code"?"

"Yes!" King Kong replied immediately: "He said that the forbidden book is in the hands of Pastor Serent."

Serente's eyes widened in disbelief, never dreaming that Du Plessis would say this.

Dean could guess by looking at Serente's expression that his previous inference should be correct. The big shot who summoned Serente to France before was probably Du Plessis.

"What do you want to say?" Dean waved his wand and lifted Serent's mute state.

"He's talking nonsense! It's impossible for Mr. Duplesi to make any deal with a non-believer!" Serente shouted angrily.

Dean shook his head gently: "That's because you don't know Du Plessis well enough."

In Dean's opinion, the person in the church who is most likely to make deals with non-believers is Du Plessis. He originally made deals with Nico Flamel for the elixir of life and also made soul runes with Dean. Deal - they are both wizards, the theoretical enemies of the church.

So it's no surprise that Du Plessis made a deal with a ninja.

Serent looked at Dean angrily, but he didn't expect that he would actually side with King Kong.

"Selent, there's no point in arguing about Du Plessis' position. I want to know if the Code of Independence is really on you." Dean asked.

Serende looked confused: "The Code of Independence? I have never even heard of this name."

"You're lying!" It was King Kong's turn to become emotional. "Diplessi made it very clear that as long as I take back the "Independence Code" from you, I can gain true freedom! He even swore on it!"

"No, I really don't have one!" Serent shook out the thin robe on his body, "All my belongings are here, not to mention the "Independence Code", not even a book."

"Selent, you said that when you were summoned to France by Du Plessis, he just let you go for three days and then let you leave?" Dean asked.

"That's right! I didn't even see him in person." Serende had no idea that Dean had inadvertently taken away the secret of that big shot.

"Then did he give you anything?" Dean continued to ask after verifying his guess.

"No!" Serent shook his head. "To be honest, I'm still confused by Monsieur Duplesi's arrangements."

"Maybe he just wants to create an illusion for others, so that everyone mistakenly thinks that the "Independence Code" is on you." Dean said thoughtfully.

"You mean Duplesi lied to me? It's impossible for me to get the Code of Independence back from Serente, and it's impossible for me to be free?" King Kong felt that his supremacy had been greatly insulted.

"No, actually you are free now - it doesn't matter whether you can get the "Independence Code" back, your role is also to confuse some people." Dean felt that he had almost figured out Du Plessis's thinking.

"Freedom? How ridiculous!" King Kong pulled open his neck collar, and a collar flashing with the power of holy light was put around his neck.

King Kong said sadly and angrily: "Have you seen this holy light collar? As long as this collar is not removed, no matter where I am, I can be controlled by Duplesi at any time!"

Dean felt it with his hands and found that the Holy Light Collar was also made of imprisonment runes.

Is this indirect proof that the big man mentioned by Gruhl is also Du Plessis?

"King Kong, you just said that Du Plessis once vowed to give you true freedom as long as you get back the "Independence Code"?" Dean suddenly remembered this detail.

"Yes." King Kong did not deny it.

At the same time, Dean quietly used Legilimency on him, and immediately saw the scene when Du Plessis swore.

There is a slight problem with King Kong's expression. Du Plessis's original words at the time were: "I swear to the Holy Father that when you take back the Code of Independence, you will be given true freedom."

Du Plessis did not say that King Kong had to retrieve the Code of Independence from Serente, a ninja who was not very bright and had trouble understanding it.

Of course, ambiguous oaths are also what believers are best at, which ensures that they are in a favorable position in most situations.
