Batman's Owl Godfather - Chapter 298
c294 You must have a friendship that is too close
Clayface is indeed capable of assimilation.
But there are great limitations, and it can only assimilate things similar to its own body structure.
This means that Clayface assimilated a heart from some kind of soil?
“That’s interesting.”
Bruce said calmly, “What have you assimilated?”
Clay Face sighed and said, “I can’t explain it clearly. When I first came to this world, my whole body was still a ball of mud. After I landed, I felt something pressing down on me. Before I took a closer look, that thing had already been assimilated.
“However, based on the taste afterwards, I felt that it was probably a stone covered with mold.”
Bruce was dumbfounded as Clayface assimilated into the object and actually had a taste.
“Moldy stones grow new organs?”
Katum held his chin and muttered beside him.
Why does he feel like a kind father who tolerates all things?
One of the Four Gods of Chaos, the power of Nurgle.
Could it be that the medieval Warhammer has fully invaded?
But Katum quickly shook his head. This was impossible. If the power of chaos really invaded the world, it would never be so gentle. It would definitely cause great changes in the world.
The owl himself would often fly into the universe to check the distance between the medieval Warhammer world and Harry’s world.
The two are still far away, and the impact is very weak. At most, it will open a teleportation array like last time.
But such a teleportation array is not enough to allow an evil god to pass through. At most, it can exert a small influence, just like the crow Neville encountered or the stone swallowed by Clayface.
It’s tiny, but annoying.
Thinking of this, Katum looked at Clayface with gratitude in his eyes.
Thank you, Clayface, for swallowing that stone with your own body and eliminating a huge hidden danger.
The whole Harry world should have a statue in your honor.
Clayface was still complaining to Bruce: “This area of mine is itchy all the time. It seems like more things are about to grow. If it weren’t for my special physique, I might have turned into a monster!”
You’re a monster now too, Bruce thought.
He gradually understood Clay Face’s helplessness. Indeed, even if an ordinary person had a few small pimples on his body, he would be troubled and nauseated for a long time, not to mention that Clay Face had grown an extra heart.
This sounds scary, right?
“So you’re begging to go back now?” Bruce asked, “Are you even ignoring Barbatos’ mission?”
“Never mind it!”
Clayface shook his head crazily and said, “Didn’t you see that even after I changed, I still used my real name? I just wanted you to find me, but I didn’t expect it to work. I just didn’t expect you to do it when we met. In fact, with our There’s no need to be so rough!”
Bruce wanted to ask, what is our relationship?
If you hadn’t encountered such a terrifying thing, you might still want to continue chasing me, right?
“Can’t you go back by yourself?”
Bruce is puzzled that several previous villains have the ability to return to DC.
“I can’t go back.” Clayface shook his head, “Ever since I grew this heart, I have lost contact with the original world. The only hope of going back is you. Dear Batman, I know you are a just person. People won’t ignore death, right?”
“Have you ever kidnapped someone before?” Bruce asked suddenly.
“How do you know?”
Clayface was shocked. Didn’t Bruce become Batman now? Why do you know everything about your past?
“It’s nothing. I see you are quite skilled in moral kidnapping.”
Bruce stood up. Of course, it was impossible to believe everything he told Clayface, but looking at his miserable appearance, it was impossible for him to pose any threat.
“We’ll talk about taking you back later. As you are now, who knows what problems will happen to your body in the future.”
Bruce said, “You can stay as Carlo for a while. Once I’m sure you’re fine, I’ll take you away. Oh, by the way, how did you sneak into Ilvermorny College?”
“I didn’t blend in.”
Clayface wiped his tears and said, “I don’t know why, but after I came to this world, I had an identity, also called Basso Carrow, and I am a student of Ilvermorny.”
Bruce noticed something was wrong: “Didn’t you just say that you used your real name on purpose?”
“That’s to arouse your sympathy.” Clayface said simply.
Anyway, Bruce has promised to take him away, so the majestic Batman will never break his promise, right?
The corner of Bruce’s mouth twitched, and he suddenly wanted to step on the other person’s face, but the leather shoes on his feet had just been brushed, and it was he who stepped on the mud and was the one who had to suffer.
“never mind.”
Bruce said, “Let me ask you one last thing, what happened in the plane crash in Ilvermorny?”
“Oh, it was a thunderstorm. You didn’t know how dangerous it was at the time. A bolt of lightning split the plane into two pieces…”
“Nonsense.”
Bruce said, “Generally, the outer shell of an aircraft is equipped with lightning protection. Even if it is struck by lightning, it will not be a big deal.”
“Then I don’t know. Anyway, I saw lightning and thunder outside, and then there was a bang, and the plane crashed.”
Clayface’s expression was particularly sincere at this time. He looked at Bruce eagerly, thinking that with such a sincere attitude, he couldn’t fault it, right?
Bruce was unmoved.
“You should participate in the competition well and wait for my instructions at any time.”
After leaving these words, Bruce left Carlo’s room.
On the way back to the dormitory, he asked Katoum, “How much truth do you think he told?”
“About 70% or 80%.” Katoum said, “I used Legilimency to read his mind. There was a lot of noise, which seemed to be caused by the heart, but overall there was no big problem.”
“He actually hid 30% or 40% from me?” Bruce was furious.
He was still not honest at this juncture. He should have been beaten up first!
Katoum was stunned. Now Bruce was wrongly accusing people and not following the basic law?
70% or 80% truth, how did you calculate that he lied to you 30% or 40%?
Has math regressed to this extent after learning magic for a long time?
“Alright, calm down, calm down!”
Katoum patted Bruce on the back of his head and said, “He is just a puddle of mud. Why do you have to compete with him?”
Bruce was like a puppy with his hair smoothed, and his anger gradually subsided.
“Forget it, today’s trip is not in vain.”
At least he figured out Mudface’s identity, and knew that he had no intention of carrying out Barbatos’s mission.
That’s enough.
But then again, what kind of vision did Barbatos have to choose a waste like Mudface?
Transfiguration ability, in Harry’s world, is there really nothing special about it?
…
The next day, Bruce walked into the lobby as usual.
He could feel the strange eyes of his classmates around him, but it didn’t matter, Bruce never cared about it.
On the other hand, Harry didn’t have Bruce’s mentality at all. Last night, he had a conflict with his roommates because of their sharp words, and even had a rift with Ron.
“Bruce!”
Someone called him from a distance, it was Cedric.
Bruce sat over.
“Congratulations, Bruce. I didn’t have a chance to tell you last night.” Cedric smiled and said, “You are now representing Hufflepuff, so you have to work hard. If you need any help, just ask.” Bruce observed Cedric’s face and didn’t see any dissatisfaction. He seemed to be really happy for Bruce. This was indeed the case. After all, Bruce was famous, always the top of the grade, and favored by Headmaster Dumbledore. Many people were convinced that he was selected as a hero. Bruce was indeed better than many senior students. They just had some opinions about Harry, thinking that he was just relying on his fame and Professor Snape’s preference. “I won’t say anything else. I hope you can do your best!” Cedric finished the last bite of breakfast, stood up, patted Bruce on the shoulder, and sighed, “To be honest, I really envy you.” After that, he left. Bruce and Katum were having breakfast together. After having French food last time, tasting the British-style dishes at Hogwarts was really a world of difference.
There was a special event today. The warriors of the Seventh Tournament had to take a group photo and check their wands.
Bruce was not worried about this.
The person who checked the wand was Ollivander. Bruce did not buy a wand from him at all that year, which means that Ollivander had no record of his wand.
In this case, Bruce could get away with just getting a wand from another country.
As for where to get it?
It’s very simple, just get Clayface’s.

As for what to do with Clayface himself?
Bruce believed that he had the wisdom to solve the problem.
…
Although Bruce had considered the problem very carefully, he still overlooked a trouble.
It was not a big deal, but it was very annoying.
In the afternoon, when Bruce was called to the photo hut, he saw many people, including a witch he had never seen before.
The other person was wearing a magenta long dress, with strange big curly hair and a long chin, and the whole person looked jeweled.
“This is Rita Skeeter.” Bagman, the director of the Sports Department, introduced, “She will be responsible for the full coverage of the championship next.”
“Thank you for the introduction, Ludo.”
Skeeter lowered his head, looking over his glasses and fell on Bruce and Harry.
“I want to say a few words to these two little warriors, can I?”
“Of course there is no problem, as long as they agree…”
“That’s great!”
Skeeter suddenly jumped up, she stretched out her hand with bright red nail polish, and grabbed Bruce and Harry.
With a force, Harry was almost thrown to her side, but Bruce did not move.
Skeeter’s face changed, and he tried again, but Bruce still did not move.
Bruce said calmly, “Is there anything that can’t be said here? Everyone is watching and can follow along.”
He knew Skeeter’s routine very well. Although he had never met her in person, the reports she wrote in the Daily Prophet were very famous.
The main point is to distort the facts and ask questions with answers.
Bruce hated this kind of people. If there were such reporters in Gotham City, it would definitely aggravate the bad atmosphere in Gotham, and Batman would come to the door sooner or later.
The eyes of other people also looked over at this time.
Skeeter was almost stuck in place. Of course, she couldn’t ask the questions she wanted to ask in public.
But in a moment, she regained her composure and laughed.
“It turned out to be two shy little boys.”
Skeeter said, “It’s okay. Since you don’t want to be interviewed, I won’t force you!”
After that, she raised her head, turned around and walked away with her hips twisted.
“She won’t give up.”
Bruce looked at Skeeter’s back and said to Harry, “Next, she will definitely write a report about us. I advise you not to read it unless you have low blood pressure.”
“But she didn’t interview us.” Harry said.
“But she will have insiders who don’t want to be named.” Bruce said, “Wait, there will be.”
Harry’s eyes widened. He didn’t know anything about journalism and didn’t expect there would be such an operation.
Bruce’s three or two words seemed to open a brand new door for him.
“Can’t we stop her!” Harry said, “Talk to her! Tell her not to write these things.”
“It’s okay, let her write.”
Bruce thought for a while and said, “After all, I also want to know which insiders who don’t want to be named will accept Skeeter’s interview.”
…
Everything was just as Bruce said. On the second page, the Daily Prophet published Skeeter’s article.
Although it was reporting on the Seven-Power Tournament, large sections of the article were all about Bruce and Harry.
Some of the text was even too outrageous.
“When I asked for an interview, they showed shy and resistant expressions on their faces. According to the information provided by insiders, this may be due to their unfortunate childhood.”
“Our two little warriors from Hogwarts have this common feature. They lost their parents when they were young and did not grow up in a perfect family like normal children.”
“The author keenly observed that the two little warriors seemed to have an especially close friendship. This may be because they have a common misfortune, which attracts each other.”
“As for why there are two warriors in Hogwarts, an insider also revealed that Dumbledore seems to have played an important role in it.”
“…”
When Harry saw the report, he was almost petrified on the spot.
He could hear the constant laughter coming from all around, which was particularly harsh.
Bang——
Hermione slammed the newspaper on the table and gritted her teeth.
The slander against Harry and Bruce in the article was not only all subjective speculation, but some of it should not have appeared in the report at all.
“Why do you want to expose Bruce’s scars!” She said indignantly, “We never talk about such topics at home!”
Then she saw Harry beside her and immediately added: “She is also too harsh on you, this is wrong!”
Harry couldn’t say anything, he could only sigh.
What can he do?
At this moment, Bruce came over from a distance, patted Harry on the shoulder, and said: “Let’s go, it’s time to go.”
“What?” Harry hadn’t come out of his depressed mood yet.
“What?”
Bruce was happy, he felt that Harry’s question was not spiritual enough.
“Of course, go find the author of this article and the insider!”
Who else can you find?
Is it to cry to your parents?
