After making the deal with the crow, Leyton stopped talking, picked up his coat and pistol, and hurried in the direction the crow had pointed.

After walking straight for about five minutes, Leyton saw Captain Icanton and a clergyman in the robes of the Church of the Earth Mother at a fork in the road, treating their wounds.

A clown's body was lying on the ground, along with a person whose chest and abdomen were seriously injured.

As Leyton got closer, he could see clearly that the seriously injured person lying on the ground was Mr. Kosith.

Captain Icanton and the clergyman of the Church of the Earth Mother had already noticed Leyton's approach and looked at him warily.

"Captain," Leyton called out, but was stopped by the other party as soon as he was about to approach.

"Stop," Captain Icanton said, not directly trusting Leyton.

Immediately, Leyton saw his captain's eyes turn bright white, surrounded by a faint blue fluorescent light.

Leyton felt as if he had been seen through by the other party, scanned from body to soul, a feeling that made Leyton very uncomfortable.

After a while, the fluorescent light and bright white in Captain Icanton's eyes faded away, and he breathed a sigh of relief, waving his hand to the clergyman of the Church of the Earth Mother beside him.

Then he turned to Leyton and said, "Okay, you can come over now. Why are you here at this time?"

Leyton began to narrate the reason he had thought up before he came: "I sent a black cat back to its owner, the Sanguine girl Eliza I met in the hospital before."

All the way until he encountered the clown and Uther, the clergyman of the Church of the Earth Mother, and finally the two sides joined forces to kill the Sequence 8 clown.

After Leyton finished speaking, he thought that the captain would doubt him, after all, there were many problems with his explanation, such as knowing that the clown was in the hospital, but still daring to send the cat back here.

However, the captain's attention was focused on the fact that he had encountered a Sequence 8 clown and had cooperated with a clergyman of the Church of the Earth Mother to kill the clown.

"Very good, you are more outstanding than I imagined.

It seems that you have a very good grasp of your Beyonder abilities, and the progress is very fast," Captain Icanton said, not paying attention to the loopholes in Leyton's words, but praised Leyton's progress in mastering his Beyonder abilities.

"I don't know why, but these past two days, I clearly haven't had time to read any books, but my grasp of my Beyonder abilities has been constantly improving, and I feel that my own Beyonder abilities have also been strengthened," Leyton said, following the captain's words.

This was Leyton's true feeling these past two days, but Leyton could still guess the reason.

His actions these past two days were in line with the acting rules of the Apprentice of Deduction.

Leyton guessed that it should be his reasoning about the various situations and the reasons behind this incident.

"Well, that's a good thing," Captain Icanton smiled happily, not dwelling too much on this topic.

The captain's reaction made Leyton guess that the captain himself had not mastered the acting method.

The captain's potion digestion progress should have been completed by luck and accumulation.

He could find an opportunity to subtly reveal the acting method, but it would be best to let the captain realize it himself, otherwise I would have to swear an oath to the God of Knowledge and Wisdom to keep the secret of the acting method.

Leyton didn't want to face this god who most represents omniscience at all.

He had no secrets in front of the other party.

Leyton didn't think that a mere Sequence 2 characteristic and the possible corruption of the Knowledge Moor could hide from the eyes of this god.

Before knowing the other party's attitude, Leyton didn't want to have any interaction with the other party.

"By the way, captain, I have a bottle of healing potion here, do you want to give it to Mr. Kosith?" Leyton changed the subject with Mr. Kosith lying fall on the ground.

"No need, wait another minute, my Beyonder abilities will come back, and I can heal everyone's injuries," the clergyman of the Church of the Earth Mother standing beside him said first.

"Is that so? No wonder Mr. Kosith is just lying on the ground like this," Leyton nodded to show that he already knew.

Then he focused his gaze on the clown's body on the other side: "Captain, is this clown you encountered very strong?"

"Well, the other party has multiple different pathway characteristics, namely the Prometheus of the Marauder pathway, the Faceless of the Seer pathway, and there should also be some Apprentice pathway characteristics, but the sequence is lower," Captain Icanton replied in detail.

Hiss~ Leyton took a breath of cold air in his heart.

This is a super low-profile and desperate version of the Lord of the Mysteries, although it can be said to be more beggar-like than the beggar version, but below the demigod, this combination is indeed powerful and strange.

Hopefully, there will be no Shepherds who graze all five families in the future.

A surge of vitality, like a spring breeze, swept over, and Leyton felt that the pain on his body had weakened a lot.

"Ah~" Mr. Kosith, who was lying on the ground, also let out a painful groan, seeming to be about to wake up from his coma.

Leyton turned to look at the clergyman of the Church of the Earth Mother standing beside him, but only saw the other party staring solemnly into the distance, seemingly sensing something.

Leyton looked in the direction of the other party's gaze, but saw nothing but sparse trees, houses, and farmland.

"Did His Excellency the Bishop and the others fail over there?" Captain Icanton's voice seemed a little heavy.

"It seems so.

The worst has happened.

These blood races do not understand the kindness of the Earth Mother, reject the faith of the Earth Mother, but also vainly attempt to steal the power of the Earth Mother.

How ironic!" The clergyman of the Church of the Earth Mother showed great anger.

Not only was there anger in his words and expressions, but also anger in his body.

His entire body had a substantial swelling, and brown short hairs broke through his clothes.

The anger in his heart caused the body of this Sequence 5 clergyman to uncontrollably turn into a giant bear.

In Leyton's surprised gaze, the giant bear sprinted wildly in the direction Leyton had come from.

Only Leyton and the Captain remained, along with Mr. Kosith, who was groaning on the ground.

"Captain? Should we follow it?" Leyton asked after a moment of silence.

"You should go!" The crow on Leyton's shoulder spoke up at this moment.

"You? You can talk?" Leyton looked at it in surprise. This time, the crow didn't just make its voice sound in Leyton's mind; it actually opened its beak to speak. However, the voice wasn't much different from the one that had directly entered his mind before, though it was slightly harsher, probably due to the crow's throat.

"Of course, I can talk," the crow said matter-of-factly.

"Then why did you always transmit the language directly into my mind before?" Leyton asked, puzzled.

"To maintain my image as a crow. Alright, enough nonsense. My prediction went wrong. There's a higher level of power in this event, and it's interfering with my perception," the crow said, flapping its wings against Leyton's head to urge him on.

Leyton glanced back at the Captain and, seeing that the Captain wasn't surprised that the crow on his shoulder could talk and even nodded at him, he felt relieved.

However, he still asked the crow on his shoulder with some doubt, "What am I going to do there? With my small stature, am I just going to be sending myself to my death?"

"Of course, you're going to snatch things. There are so many Beyonder characteristics; it wouldn't be too much for us to take a little, would it? Besides, this matter clearly involves a very high level. If you can discover something, your Sequence 8 potion will be digested directly. Haven't you already realized that?" The crow kept flapping its wings, urging Leyton.

Leyton had to admit that he had been manipulated by this crow again. Everything the crow said was something Leyton couldn't refuse. However, the waters were very deep this time, making Leyton hesitant.

Judging from the Captain's attitude, this crow should be a Saint of the Church of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom. Only the Seer pathway reaches Sequence 4, the Prophet, to begin mastering higher-level mystical knowledge in the field of fate, thereby gaining the ability of 'Prophecy'. Being able to interfere with a Saint's prophecy indicates that this event has at least another Saint or even an Angel's shadow.

"If you go late, you won't even get soup to drink. Although that Classical Alchemist from the Church of the Earth Mother can't solve this event, suppressing it temporarily won't be a problem. This is Feynapotter; the Church of the Earth Mother can send Saints here at any time. By then, we won't have a chance to muddy the waters," the crow continued to tempt him.

"What about us? I want to obtain some Beyonder characteristics or Sealed Artifacts and know more information to deduce the truth behind the matter, helping me digest and master the potion. Your Excellency, what do you want to obtain? Is it possible for me to get involved in something planned by a Saint?" Leyton didn't really want to muddy the waters with this crow.

Leyton couldn't help but complain in his heart, "Although I myself really want to have everything, keeping my life is more important now. As for Sealed Artifacts, I've already obtained one. Wait... Sealed Artifacts, how do I remember that only an Angel-level being can seal them? Before, this crow said it would pluck a feather for me..."

"Let's go then, but my safety is up to you!" Leyton stopped hesitating and ran directly in the direction the Church of the Earth Mother clergy member had left earlier.

"You figured it out so quickly? I thought you were going to give up. Why aren't you afraid anymore?" The crow asked curiously, standing on Leyton's shoulder.

"Isn't there you? You want to use me to achieve certain goals, but the premise is that I have to be alive!" Leyton said with a smile.

The crow nodded in a human-like manner, "Although that's not your complete thought, it's indeed correct. My identity can't be exposed in this sensitive place, especially since there's a situation here now. So, using you to achieve some goals is the most convenient. Of course, I'll also give you a reward that you'll definitely be satisfied with, after all, you're taking a big risk."

"It's more than just a big risk. A small Sequence 8 like me is involved among a bunch of Saints. Keeping my whole body intact is the greatest leniency to me!" Leyton couldn't help but use complaining to relieve some pressure whenever he was nervous.

"Sequence 8 is indeed too weak," the crow agreed, nodding.

Leyton's face was full of black lines. If he could beat it, he would definitely pluck this crow and beat it up.

The crow flapped its wings and slapped Leyton's forehead several times.

"Hey! What are you doing?" Leyton was upset by the slaps and almost tripped over the vines on the ground.

"Feel it carefully," the crow on his shoulder said casually and then fell silent.

Hearing this, Leyton carefully felt the changes in his body. More fighting and machinery usage abilities appeared in his mind. His mobility and reasoning abilities became stronger. Many more knowledge also appeared in his mind. Leyton felt that he had become a fighting master and a weapon master at this moment.

"This is? Part of the abilities of Sequence 7, Knowledge Keeper. It should be the knowledge and Beyonder abilities that come with part of the potion. Just flapping its wings can pull me to the level of half a Sequence 7. Tsk, tsk, this crow is definitely an Angel of this pathway," Leyton was even more convinced of his previous speculation about the crow's identity.

At the same time, Leyton felt that most of the Beyonder characteristic belonging to the Sequence 8, Student of Ratiocination, had been digested.
