(For Brother Darkloth)

"Give him a blood tonic every three hours, and make sure that he doesn't become weak due to excessive blood loss if the wound doesn't heal."

As Team K prepares to leave, Mason hands over two boxes of potions of different colors to Butler Alfred, who cares for Bruce Wayne.

He said:

"He's fighting the waters of Lazarus' Pool for control of his body, and these potions are meant to give him energy. The blue vitality potion was soothed by drinking it every two hours.

In addition, I must ask, in your opinion, do you think there is still a credible person in the Bat Family at the moment?"

In the face of Mason's inquiry, the old butler pursed his lips and said:

"Young Master Dick is credible, I can confirm that."

"Hmm, that means that everyone else has a reason to hate or alienate Batman, except for the big ones that Bruce has personally raised, right?"

Mason pouted and said:

"It can be seen that it is time for Bruce to review his attitude towards the people around him. Ah Fu, I need a mobile phone and access to the bat network."

He stressed:

"I mean the one without trackers and bugging, and the pheromone markers on me that have failed, and I don't want to see them again."

"You know it all?"

Alfred glanced at Mason in surprise,

The young man pointed to the enchanted apartment, which was hidden in a suitcase, and said to the old butler in front of him:

"Do you think I'm going to be able to figure this stuff out of the way Bruce did all the little things Bruce did on me? I'm just pretending I don't know to show my sincerity.

His distrust of others really needs to be changed.

Anyway, because we're about to get started, I have to ask the three of you to leave now, do you still have a safe base in Gotham?"

"Yes."

The old butler put away the potion, took out an old flip phone, handed it to Mason, and said:

"Put us and the young master at the entrance of Crime Alley, Mason, and I'll take him to safety, and I'll use it to contact you when you get back and tell you where you are."

"Well, Gotham may not be at peace these days."

Mason Says:

"Try to keep a low profile, and don't blindly contact outside support if you can't guarantee safety, because it will be very troublesome if you are tracked back."

Twenty minutes later, Mason, dressed in an invisibility suitcase, appeared in the booth on the top floor of the Iceberg Bar, and the other three were all ready to go. Chinese Net

Among them, the always lazy Catwoman-sama is particularly murderous.

That indifferent look made Mason not hesitate to ask her to slay a dragon, and she would not hesitate to rush forward with a sword to meet the dragon fire, this is probably the great power called love?

"The world of Hogwarts is an open world, and you're probably going to meet other members of the Star Society, so the quicker we move, the better."

Mason twisted the brass doorknob as he loaded the power stone into the World Gate and said to the three people behind him:

"With our strength weak, I really don't want to deal with our 'peers' too early. Oh, by the way, Charles, did you tell our two friends about the possible dangers of this trip?

About the dragon that almost killed you before..."

"Dragon?"

Zakang, who was playing with a pile of processed cursed gold coins in his hand, widened his eyes, and the black mage said with a smoke ring:

"Let me make sure first, if the dragon you are talking about is the kind of big lizard that I know can breathe fire and fly?"

"Worse than that, John."

Charles said shyly beside him:

"Not only does it breathe fire and fly, it's also a monstrous zombie dragon... To hell with everything in that world

of the zombie virus is infected.

I suspect that unicorns may turn out to be like nightmares when we see them."

"No, it won't."

Mason pushed open the door and put on his full-coverage helmet and said:

"Unicorns are pure, inherently invulnerable, and they can be infected but certainly not as completely zombieized as other creatures, which means that their blood may be less effective.

But it must still be useful.

Now the hard part is that we have to find it first... Selena, it's up to you to live."

"Huh?"

Catwoman, who was full of her heart to save her lover, was stunned for a moment, and while putting on her cat-eared battle helmet, she said:

"Let me do what? Attract unicorns?"

"This won't work!"

Za Kang also helped beside him and said:

"Unicorns are only attracted to pure ***, Selena is amorous but she is definitely not pure, look at the dirty things she usually says that are more slippery than my prodigal son."

"So you're saying we're going to have to find a way to kidnap a *** in Gotham before we set off to save Batboy?"

Mason turned around and complained:

"Does Gotham have that thing? I'm afraid I have to go to the kindergarten to find it."

Team K passes through the World Gate and enters King's Cross Station.

Mason used the World Key to temporarily put away the direction of the World Gate behind him, he didn't plan to waste time on a magic train every time he came over.

He's going to put the World Gate directly in the ruins of Hogwarts.

Then they are "warmly welcomed" by a group of zombies, but they are surrounded by the kite people who are not what they used to be.

Under the swarm bombardment of engineering bombs, the four of them quickly entered the station of Nine and Three-Quarters, and before leaving, Mason asked Zakang to repair the station's magic barrier and add several additional magic circles for concealment.

If there are other members of the Stellar Society in and out of this world, then Mason doesn't want to give up the good places that Old K has spent his life exploring to others.

After getting on the magic train, Mason went to the locomotive as usual to analyze the drawings of the alchemy engine with character cards, and the drawings were much faster with the improvement of alchemy and engineering.

But just as he was busy researching this unscientific thing, Catwoman's voice sounded above his head:

"What are you doing?"

Mason looked up and saw Selena climb out of the roof of the car like a dexterous cat and land beside him, and the young man glanced at her and said:

"What about doing research, why don't you go to rest and come here? Are you worried about Bruce?"

"A little flustered."

Catwoman didn't hide it, she pulled the head stool and sat by the window, and with some irritability, she pulled out a pack of women's cigarettes but was stopped by Mason with her eyes.

"I'm a minor."

The young man said:

"Don't do this in front of me, Zakang is hopeless but you still have."

"Well, you little fellow is getting more and more of the majesty of a captain."

Catwoman pursed her lips, she watched in silence as Mason tinkered with the silvery gray weird engine in front of her, and after a few minutes of silence, Selena whispered:

"If we can't get back the unicorn's blood..."

"He'll be fine."

Mason said without raising his head:

"Wonder Woman's paradise island has the knowledge left by the gods of Olympus, and I believe there should be a drug that can save Bruce.

The only problem was finding a way to reach her.

Selena, don't worry too much.

You have to believe that your lover is the beloved child of destiny by the world, who has escaped death several times, and this time he will not be lost in the hands of a group of hidden creatures."

"I wish I had been as calm and optimistic as you, Mason."

Catwoman covered her face and said:

"But I never saw it

He was injured like this, not only was his body tormented, but I could even feel the exhaustion and pain of his soul when I kissed him.

It's like...

It's as if he himself has admitted defeat.

I've never seen him like this."

"Then you should think about what brought down Bruce Wayne?"

Mason's tone remained unchanged.

With the help of his engineering skills, he finally succeeded in disassembling the shell of the train engine with a strange-looking engineering wrench.

In the cacophony of metallic sounds, the young man struck with a wrench and said:

"Is it the unknown attacker, or is it Batman himself? You didn't suspect who attacked him? And who betrayed him at the critical moment?"

"Huh?"

Catwoman looked up all of a sudden, she looked at Mason and said:

"Do you have an answer?"

"I've always had the answer, Selena. I even predicted it to happen, I just didn't expect it to happen so quickly."

The young man said in a playful tone:

"Is it possible that Batman will lose so badly tonight because he is not as strong as the attacker. But because the psychological burden caused by some bad things in the past exploded tonight, allowing the feelings of guilt and pain to break his will before the physical collapse?

I'm really not kidding, Selena.

Bruce really had to take a good look at his handling of certain things after this incident.

He broke the hearts of his family but didn't realize the resentment and sadness, maybe because he lost his parents when he was a child, so Batman was really dull in this regard...

Deep down, he longed for a home.

But he always destroys it with his own hands.

That's probably one of the reasons why I don't want to be Robin."

"You said you hated Riddler."

Catwoman accused with a blank face:

"But you're becoming the Riddler! Let's be clear, Mason."

"Not necessarily."

Mason looked up from the intricate engine, smiled, and said:

"The answer will be revealed soon, so let's focus on the matter at the moment. It's really dangerous in the Forbidden Forest, and although Old K helped us deal with two dangerous creatures, we still have to be vigilant when trekking through it.

There's some... Well, something that can't be measured by common sense."

---

Mason soon discovers that he also has a talent for "crow's beak".

As soon as they entered the Forbidden Forest, they were attacked by a group of zombie centaurs, who were tall and human-topped and horses on the lower half of their horses, galloping through the forest with an amazing momentum.

But the good news is that the zombieization has made them lose their hunting wisdom and no longer use the terrifying bow and arrows and war spears, at most a group of fast-moving, high-impact alien zombies.

In front of the prepared K-Team, it was solved by Mason with a bullet without causing too much trouble.

The movement of the battle also attracted a hippogriff.

But it shouldn't be Hagrid's domesticated one.

The flying creature was blown out of the air by Kite Man with shotguns and bombs, and then cut off his head by Catwoman with a swing of his sword.

"Cutting off the centaurs' tails and collecting as many manes as you can are great crafting materials. Zakang, don't dig out their internal organs, okay?

The entrails of the zombie creature have dissolved.

Hell, it's disgusting."

Mason commanded his team to collect the loot, while he pulled out Hagrid's hunting knife and began to try to skin it.

He plunged his sharp hunting knife into the belly of the Hippogriff, and cut through it smoothly, but the first attempt was always a bit frustrating, even if he had read about it before.

"Successfully complete a Inferior Leather Acquisition, and the Gathering Technique (Peeling) branch opens,

Currently Lv0"

Mason looked at the hint, then at the messy dirty leather he had peeled off under his feet, and suddenly couldn't help but moan with a headache, this thing is really not as simple as he imagined.

Soon, though, the young man heard some strange noises.

He looked up at the gloomy sky of the Forbidden Forest and saw several dark shadows flying towards him.

Those guys are the same as Pegasus, but they are all dark and have a hideous appearance, and the influence of zombieization makes them look like skeleton warhorses.

"Thestrals..."

Mason breathed a sigh of relief and raised his shotgun.

Catwoman, beside him, looked at the sky in amazement and said:

"What are you aiming for?"

"You can't see it if you haven't experienced death, don't bother, Selena. Look around and see if there are any manes that the unicorn has shed.

It's easy to recognize, white or off-white."

Mason explained, then pulled the trigger.

In the muffled sound of gunfire, the sky erupted in blood, and four consecutive headshot executions gave Mason a handsome proficiency boost, and also gave him four more trophies to practice skinning.

"Here's for you, John."

Mason removed the small horn that resembled the dragon's head from Thestrals, and threw it to Zakkang, saying:

"Study how to use it."

"I really love this place, Mason."

Konstantin pinched the bloodstained horn with a cigarette in his mouth, and his eyes shone with the curiosity of a magician, and said to Mason:

"I'm not going back to Gotham with you, I'm going to stay here and build a stronghold! There's definitely a lot to find out what interests me in this forest.

You know, Batboy will be suspicious when he wakes up and sees me hanging out with you.

And I really don't like the guy who might have some mysterious past with my ex-girlfriend."

"Whatever you want."

Mason carefully peeled off the light and tough leather of Thestrals, and said to Zakang without raising his head:

"You can recruit some minions from the Caribbean world, this forest is very large and indeed rich in resources, if you want, I can leave Old K's magic apartment here as your "Mage Tower".

Charles, come!"

He called to the kite man who was on guard beside him, picked up the unique wings of the Thestrals, and said to Charles:

"Look at this thing, how about using it as a material for your kite upgrade scheme? Look at this material, it's much tougher than ordinary materials, and it can even be bulletproof if you deal with it with alchemy and enchantment."

"Okay!"

The Kite Man also looked at the rather large wings in his hand with his eyes shining, he already had several ideas in his mind, and was about to discuss them with Mason, when he heard Catwoman shouting:

"Come here, guys! Look at what I've found."

The three of them immediately walked in the direction of Catwoman, and Selena pointed to the broken bush under her feet with a very light and beautiful white mane in her hand and said:

"If this is the unicorn's mane, then we can find it along this path."

Mason took the soft but very tough mane and looked at it in his hand, and the character card quickly gave the information label:

The mane of the unicorn's tail

Quality: Epic Tailor Material: Pollution

Item description: The forces of darkness are eating away at the pure, and you'd better find it soon...

"The good news is that the unicorn isn't zombieized and Selena doesn't need to pretend to be *** to attract it."

Mason put away his tail mane, lifted his gun and said to the team:

"The bad news is that it probably won't hold up. Fast! Do something, it's your specialty."

"If you call me Zakang again, I'll put this magic in your mouth!"

Konstantin threatened viciously, casually dropping a cloud of green fluorescent light, and soon there were scattered traces under his spell

The darkness in front of me appeared in the forest.

Za Kang observed for a moment, frowned and said:

"That's not right! This footprint is not one, there are at least two unicorns that have wandered here."

"The sound of horses' hooves! Boss, those zombie centaurs are here again!"

The kite man soon heard a large tremor in the woods, and Mason frowned and waved his hand, saying:

"Charles, prepare for the swarm bombardment! The batboys are still waiting for us to come back and save their lives, and we don't have time to dwell on these haunting creatures right now.

Selena, donning an invisibility cloak to respond.

John, keep tracking magic, let's go ahead and have a look."

Ps：

Get ready to rush! Happy 2023 and I wish you all the best this year~
