Batman's Owl Godfather

Chapter 18: The Alliance of Unwelcome People

Werewolf?

Jason is not unfamiliar with this word. There are also werewolves in the DC world. They are teammates of Frankenstein, a superhero who is not even a third-tier superhero.

He was keenly aware of the disgust revealed by the dark wizard. It seemed that werewolves were not a welcome species in this world.

When Lupin passed by them, the dark wizard immediately wiped his arm, as if the mere presence of the werewolf next to him made him feel uncomfortable from the bottom of his heart.

The dark wizard sneered, "Stay away from these guys from now on. They are a bunch of creatures living in the gutter."

Interesting.

Jason became interested in werewolves instead. What kind of blasphemous creature could be that even this low-level dark wizard could look down upon it?

"Do you hate werewolves?"

"Hate? That's too mild a word. They are a bunch of soulless evil creatures. They deserve to die!"

The dark wizard began to tell the details of the werewolf, which was what he was paid to do.

"Lycosis is a magical disease, no one is born a werewolf."

The dark wizard said, "This disease spreads among people through contact of saliva and blood. You know, when a transformed werewolf bites someone, the bitten person will also become a werewolf."

At this point, he began to rub his skin again, as if he had been infected by the lycanthropy.

"The leader of these guys is Fenrir Greyback, a crazy werewolf who is committed to infecting more people, especially children. In short, you should stay away from werewolves in the future."

child?

Jason's eyes suddenly narrowed. A group of guys who targeted children, weren't they the worst and most despicable criminals?
He put his hand on the gun at his waist and asked nonchalantly, "Then why don't you deal with these guys? I mean, kill them all."

The dark wizard immediately shook his head: "Kill all the werewolves? That would cost too much. They are very powerful when they stick together. But then again, if you find werewolves disgusting and want to kill a few to vent your anger, Lupin is a good choice.

"He is an outlier among werewolves. Humans hate him and werewolves also exclude him.

"This guy was born to be disliked by everyone."

After saying this, the dark wizard chuckled twice, as if, despite his miserable state, he had found the long-lost sense of superiority in Lupin.

But little did he know that his last words would hit the most unknown corner of Jason's heart.

Jason's tone became tougher: "No one is born to be disliked!"

Even though he was born into a family of criminals and was betrayed by his adoptive father, Jason didn't think anyone had the right to look down on him.

The dark wizard was stunned by Jason's appearance and quickly explained: "I'm talking about Lupin, the werewolf! Not you!"

Jason certainly knew this.

But he couldn't help but turn around and look at Lupin's back.

The other party actually didn't go far. He must have heard what the dark wizard said just now, but he never turned back and didn't dare to defend himself.

So cowardly!

Jason suddenly felt a surge of anger in his heart. How could a person who was ostracized by the world not even dare to resist?
"stop!"

For some unknown reason, he shouted at Lupin as he was walking away.

The dark wizard was frightened by the sound. He looked at Jason, then at Lupin who looked back in confusion.

"What are you going to do?" The dark wizard felt his voice trembling.

"Nothing to do."

Jason strode towards Lupin, "I'm just trying to reform a coward!"

……

boom--

Lupin was pressed against the wall, grimacing in pain.

When Jason walked towards him, he felt something was wrong. He just took out his wand from his arms, but was disarmed by the other party in the blink of an eye.

Lupin didn't even see how the other party did it.

At this time, Jason was holding Lupin's wand in his hand, turning it over and over with interest.

"Is this the source of your wizard power? Without this thing, you can't do anything?"

"Give it back to me..." Lupin said weakly.

"Shut up!"

Jason interrupted Lupin rudely, and the more he looked at the other's useless look, the angrier he became.

"I heard that you are a werewolf? And you are ostracized by humans and your own compatriots? What did you do to make yourself live such a humble life?" "I don't need to explain to you..."

Lupin was already a little out of breath. The full moon was approaching and he was at his weakest.

"It's really not necessary. Remember your toughness."

Jason took Lupin's wand and showed no intention of returning it.

Lupin was anxious. Of course there were robberies in the wizarding world, but he had never heard of anyone robbing wands!

Almost everyone has one of these.

Of course, more importantly, if Lupin's wand was stolen, he would have no money to buy a new one.

"I don't want your wand, just put it in my hand and taste it."

Jason told Lupin, "My name is Jason Todd, and unless something unexpected happens, I'm going to be staying here for a long time.

"If you want your wand back, you can always come to me, but you have to agree to a few small conditions."

Lupin almost laughed out of anger. He had never seen such a shameless guy.

"Ahem, stop talking. I want my wand now!"

"Oh, not now."

Jason said nonchalantly, "I have to study this thing. Of course, I won't break it. If you are worried, you can follow me for the time being. I happen to be short of manpower."

Ok?
Lupin was suddenly stunned. Wasn't this guy robbing him just now? Why did he seem to want to take him in now?
To be honest, Lupin is really miserable now.

He originally came to Knockturn Alley because he heard a rumor that the potion master Damocles had invented a wolfsbane potion that could keep werewolves awake while transforming into wolves.

This is good news for all werewolves, but there is only one downside.

The wolfsbane potion was too expensive, and Lupin spent all his money to buy a small portion in Knockturn Alley.

After the purchase, he can hardly afford to eat.

Now that Jason asked him to follow him, Lupin subconsciously had only one question.

Are food and accommodation included?

Then he realized that this wouldn't work, as the other party might be an evil wizard, which was why he chose a werewolf as his helper.

"I……"

"Forget it if you don't want to."

Jason didn't have the patience to be rejected, so he took out Lupin's wand and waved it in front of him.

"But I'm afraid you won't be able to get this thing."

Damn...

Lupin wanted to stick to his bottom line, but Jason really knew how to control people's hearts.

First he controlled Lupin's wand, then gave him the help he needed most, and most importantly, he did not make any excessive demands.

If Jason asked Lupin to do something bad right now, he would definitely not agree.

But he didn't mention it, and Lupin didn't even know what to refuse.

"Don't worry, werewolf friend."

Jason finally said, "I won't ask you to do anything against my principles. In fact, I just want to study your magic."

"Studying magic?"

“Right.” Jason nodded. “I have an enemy who can cast magic. I want to know how to break those spells. Is that too much to ask?”

This... doesn't really sound too much.

"But why me?"

Lupin didn't understand that there were so many wizards who were better than him.

"Of course I have a reason for looking for you."

Jason let out a faint smile, "I think unpopular people like us should form an alliance."

After the words fell, the dark wizard who had been watching the show was suddenly stunned, then pointed at himself and said, "Does that include me?"

No, I’m quite popular!
