Chapter 125 Women are like fine wine
A spell for a sweet dream?
Bruce frowned: "What's the difference between this and the illusion spell?"
"The difference is huge."
Katum said, “One is that you create the illusion, and the other is that the enemy falls into the dream themselves.
"One relies on your imagination, and the other relies on the enemy's own imagination. How can they be the same?"
After hearing the owl's explanation, Bruce immediately understood.
This dream spell is probably much more practical than the illusion spell.
"The teacher is so nice to me!"
Bruce happily held the diary and was about to unlock the first spell.
Ravenclaw still doesn't understand Batboy well enough.
She thought that just saying "Long live Ravenclaw" a few times would make Bruce feel troubled for a long time.
But in fact she was wrong.
If it was Bruce who had just left DC, he might still be worried about whether it was embarrassing or not.
But now Bruce has a lot of clever ideas.
Bruce held the journal in one hand and raised three fingers with the other.
"I, Katum, solemnly declare!"
He said quickly, "Long live Ravenclaw, long live Ravenclaw, long live Ravenclaw!"
After three sounds, a silver light flashed on the diary.
The first spell emerged.
Seeing what Bruce was doing, Katoom immediately gave a thumbs-up with his wings.
"Good boy, you provoked me first."
The owl said, "Then it's none of your business what I do with your name from now on!"
Bruce ignored Katum and started reading the new text in the diary.
The text was not long and he finished reading it quickly.
Then Bruce raised his head, his face full of anger, and slammed the table: "The old woman is bullying me too much!"
Katoom flew behind Bruce to see what was written on it.
Then he saw——
"Hahahaha! I told you to shout and you actually did!
"Little Bruce, it's not that I don't want to teach you, it's just that the Dream Spell is too difficult. You can't learn it just by reading the words!
"Don't worry, I will teach you seriously next time school starts!
"love you!"
Even an owl couldn't hold back after seeing these words.
"The old woman has evil intentions and deceived two honest people like us!"
Owl said angrily, "She must still be holding a grudge against you for scolding her last time, Bruce, it's all your fault!"
Bruce was also quite dissatisfied.
Ravenclaw is already so old, yet he still cares about a child like himself.
Can't we just pretend nothing happened?
Let’s reconcile and move forward together!
I don’t even want to do this!
Cheapskate!
Just as Bruce and Katum were calling the old woman a stingy person, new words suddenly appeared in the diary.
The man and the bird immediately leaned forward.
"Bruce! Are you secretly cursing at me right now?"
Absolutely not!
Bruce immediately shook his head.
More words emerged:
"Well, although the spell is difficult to learn, I am also worried that you really encountered something serious.
“Although I can’t let you learn the spell immediately, you can still use the ability of dreams.
“I have enchanted this journal, and you can create dreams through this medium.
“And the material for casting the spell requires a drop of the dreamer’s blood.
"This condition shouldn't be a problem for you, right?"
Bruce and Katum suddenly fell silent.
They looked at each other, and then the owl said, "How could you curse just now? The teacher is so nice to you!"
"You were the one who cursed me." Bruce said calmly, "I tried to stop you."
"Bruce, if you lie you will be struck by lightning."
"You fly higher than me, so if I have to chop you, I'll chop you first."
After the two guys blamed each other, what happened was over.
Ravenclaw didn't really ignore Bruce, but did leave him a solution to help him solve the problem.
But this method is really difficult to implement.
"Will the Homelanders bleed?"
Bruce asked, this was his main concern.
"Of course, Superman and Thanos will bleed, not to mention Homelander."
Katum said, "It's just that if you want to get the blood of these people, you have to use some methods."
"You're saying names I don't know again. Who is Thanos?"
Bruce asked, "How do you know so many strange people?"
"Thanos is also a mathematician who studies population models."
Owl said casually, "He and Darkseid are in the same business."
Bruce shook his head, totally unconvinced.
It is true that human words cannot come out of a bird's mouth.
Back to the topic, now a difficult problem lies before them.
If we can get blood from our countrymen, then everything will be easy.
The spell that Ravenclaw cast on the diary was not a simple dream spell.
It's more like creating a channel that allows Bruce to enter the depths of Homelander's heart through the diary.
Uncover his unknown secrets and influence his inner world.
"Ravenclaw should believe that human nature is good."
Katum said, "Her original idea was to let you enter the enemy's inner world and find a way to turn him into a good person."
Bruce nodded. He also felt that Ravenclaw had the same idea.
too naive.
How can someone with invincible power be a good person?
Even if he is kind-hearted, the environment around him will subtly change him.
"Bruce, what are you thinking now? Should we still use this trick?"
"Of course!"
Bruce nodded and said, "But I'm not going to turn Homelander into a good guy. I'm going to use other methods."
Batman's way.
Hearing this, Katum couldn't help but look at Bruce.
Is this guy trying to turn the people of his country into fools? This is unacceptable.
An invincible fool is more likely to destroy the world.
But as a parent who didn't want to spoil his child's fun, Katum didn't raise any objections for the time being.
Let’s see what Bruce does first.
"Now we only have one question left."
Bruce said, "How to shed the blood of the motherland?"
"It should be two questions," Katum corrected, "How can you escape unscathed after spilling the blood of your countrymen and then enter his inner world?"
Ok……
Bruce was in a dilemma for a moment.
He was thinking about the power he had now, magic plus some punches and kicks.
None of these seem to be enough to shed the blood of the motherland.
"Can I use the Divine Sword Shadowless Curse?"
Bruce thought of the Half-Blood Prince's notes, which contained a spell that could tear the target and cause severe bleeding.
"Thank you for thinking so highly of Snape," Catum said. "He would be proud of you."
The essence of Shadowless Divine Sharpness is to use spells to cut the enemy, not to let the enemy split itself.
Such a spell would at most cut the clothes of the people of our country into pieces.
"Then there are only two ways."
Bruce said, "Or we can find that dagger, a weapon made of Nthorium that should be able to cut Homelander's skin.
"Or, we can do as you said before and find teammates who can compete with the Homelanders."
He looked at the owl: "Now, can you tell me who that person is?"
Having said this, Katum didn't want to keep anyone in suspense.
"That man is called Soldier Boy. You should have heard of him."
"Soldier boy? Isn't he dead?"
Bruce frowned, everyone knew about this.
Is there something hidden?
At this moment, Bruce had a strange idea in his mind.
"Is it true that as long as it's a world of superheroes, those guys who were once powerful and thought to be dead can always find an excuse to pop up again?"
But I have to say, if it was Soldier Boy, then he could indeed fight against his motherland.
He is America's first and greatest superhero, and the former leader of the superhero team Blood Debt.
Soldier Boy helped good triumph over evil in World War II.
And in 1984, he heroically sacrificed his life to save the United States during a nuclear power plant meltdown.
At least that's what the official report said.
"Soldier Boy is not dead and is still alive today."
Katum said, "If you agree, we can go and free him, let him fight with his countrymen, and then we can pick up the spoils on the side."
"Don't!"
After listening to this, Bruce resolutely rejected the suggestion.
In order to deal with one monster, choose to release another monster?
If Soldier Boy solves Homelander, who solves Soldier Boy?
just forget it.
"Just rely on that dagger."
Bruce sighed, "I didn't expect that after all these twists and turns, things would end up back where they started."
Bruce has been keeping an eye out for peculiar murders lately.
If Dagger were to kill people by controlling others, there would definitely be many unsolved cases.
The deceased died under mysterious circumstances and the murderer could not be found.
Bruce was indeed searching in this way, but as he searched, he became completely lost.
It’s not that there are no cases, but that there are too many cases!
For most of the unsolved cases, after Bruce follows the clues, he will eventually find the root of the problem is the Water Company.
The murderers in those cases are actually superheroes under Vought Corporation.
Not only the seven-man team, but also the second-tier heroes of Vought Company showed no mercy when killing ordinary people.
There is even a complete set of procedures to help the superheroes destroy the bodies and eliminate the witnesses.
Bruce has seen too much evil during this period of time.
Just as the saying goes.
If you knew just a little bit about Vought Corporation's superheroes, you'd probably curse them.
But when you investigate further, you want to kill them.
Bruce has witnessed firsthand how terrible a world is when superhumans run rampant and act without restraint.
And it is completely a fantasy to want to find the dagger by investigating the case.
No one has the patience and brainpower to find one or two insignificant cases in the vast files, link them together, and ultimately find traces of the dagger.
nobody.
"Now that we can't find the dagger, we can only wait for the dagger to find us."
Katum said, "I still stick to my idea. It is a good choice to release the soldier boy."
Owl has a wider perspective than Bruce.
He knew that Soldier Boy was also a bastard, and even a human nuclear bomb that could explode at any time.
But Soldier Boy's special power is awesome, it can make other metahumans lose their powers.
He himself would also faint due to the overload explosion.
It is still easier to deal with them than with our fellow countrymen.
What's more, if the soldier boys don't release them, someone else will.
In the world of black robes, trouble will always come and there is no way to avoid it.
Bruce didn't know what Katum was thinking, but he still insisted on his opinion.
"Forget it, Soldier Boy!"
He said, "When superhumans fight, only ordinary people will suffer."
There was still time, Bruce thought, and he could always find a way to get the blood of his countrymen in a way that had the least impact.
"That's up to you."
Katum didn't insist.
The reason why he wanted to release the soldier boy was not actually for any just purpose.
Mainly because this guy is very funny, and if we let him out, the reactions of the people in our country will be very interesting.
Moreover, Soldier Boy has a famous saying -
“Women are like fine wine, the older they get the better they become.”
It is still unknown who DC's pursuers are, but judging from the term "mother", it should be a woman, and not young.
Maybe he even has gray hair.
Let the soldier boy out, maybe something good will happen.
