Having slept too long during the day, Leyton now looked at the crimson moon outside the window without feeling sleepy. In the end, he simply picked up a book, leaned against the window, and quietly began to read in the bright moonlight.

Perhaps it was because the quiet night was perfect for reading, Leyton unknowingly became engrossed in the book. It wasn't until he finished a whole book that Leyton finally stood up, feeling a sense of satisfaction, and stretched.

At that moment, a small portion of the Sequence 9 Reader potion within his body was digested.

"It seems that being completely immersed in reading books can indeed help digest the potion well, but there are quite a few books that need to be read." Leyton carefully felt the changes in his body.

He realized that the digestion brought about by reading one book was very subtle in relation to a complete characteristic. Leyton estimated that without completely reading and mastering the knowledge of dozens or hundreds of books, it would be difficult to completely digest the Reader characteristic within him.

"The task is heavy and the road is long!" After sighing, Leyton put down the book in his hand and lay down on the bed to rest.

The next morning, the butler woke Leyton. Rubbing his body, which was once again sore in the back and neck due to improper posture, he went to the washroom for a quick wash.

Afterwards, at the invitation of the butler, he finished breakfast and then went to the Executor Team to clock in for work.

Today's task should be to clean up Hawke Street and the surrounding corrupted areas. Leyton originally wanted to wear the Great Magician's Top Hat, which was his only Sealed Artifact, and powerful enough after being sealed by the feathers left by that angel.

However, with the Joker's matter not completely over, taking out this hat would let everyone know that he had pocketed a piece of loot. In the end, Leyton decided to let the hat continue reading in the cabinet.

When Leyton arrived at the Executor Team's office, only Mr. Kosith and the captain were there.

"Good morning, Captain."

"Good morning, Teacher Kosith."

"Good morning, Leyton."

After exchanging greetings, Leyton walked straight to Captain Icanton and took out the ornament he had forgotten at home.

"Captain, here, I forgot to return it before." As Leyton spoke, he reached into his coat pocket and took out the relic of the Moses Ascetic Order member.

"Well, it's okay. Did you not find anything either?" Captain Icanton nodded and asked casually.

"No." Leyton shook his head and replied.

"Well, it's okay. It's normal, perhaps some other factors are still missing. If you have any ideas, you can always come to me to get it." Captain Icanton simply said a few words and moved on from the topic.

Leyton originally wanted to return to his seat to read, but he couldn't resist his curiosity and asked, "Captain, did you guys clean up that corrupted area yesterday? What's the situation over there now?"

"Well, almost all the animals, plants, and even inanimate rocks and soil there have mutated. Moreover, that area is affected by unknown things. Just being there will cause a strong desire for reproduction in your heart. In short, the cleaning process is very troublesome." Captain Icanton briefly described the situation in that area.

"Oh!" Leyton nodded thoughtfully, without continuing to ask, and returned to his seat to read.

In order to digest the Reader characteristic within his body as soon as possible, Leyton could only immerse himself in the sea of knowledge as much as possible.

After the members of the team arrived one after another, Captain Icanton asked everyone to prepare and set off to clean up the corrupted area.

Leyton also received a box of mystical bullets engraved with runes, two boxes of ordinary bullets, and two of the dispelling and confinement charms he had used before.

After putting everything away, everyone went to Hawke Street in groups of twos and threes in carriages. Leyton, Josie, and Joseph got into one carriage.

"It's a pity you didn't come yesterday. You don't know what kind of bizarre appearances the creatures in that area have turned into. There's grass with long legs running around, deer that are half plant and half animal, it's simply beyond the limits of our imagination." Josie said with an incredulous expression, recounting what he had seen yesterday.

"Why do I feel like you want to study them all?" Leyton felt that this guy's tone was not right.

"Isn't that normal? They can all be considered completely new species! They have extremely high research value, it's just a pity that the captain doesn't allow it." Josie said with a longing expression.

Leyton felt that he couldn't communicate with this guy right now, and shifted his gaze to Joseph, who was sitting on the other side. As a result, Joseph also had a regretful expression.

Leyton could only swallow the words he wanted to say back into his stomach, and silently complained in his heart: "I often feel out of place with you guys because I'm too normal."

Along the way, Josie was telling them about the various strange creatures they had seen yesterday, until they arrived at their destination. Only then did Leyton have the opportunity to find an excuse to go to Mr. Kosith.

Mr. Kosith and two extraordinary members of the Church of the Earth Mother were discussing something. One of them was Uther, whom Leyton had met before.

There was also an unfamiliar Beyonder, about thirty years old, with brown shoulder-length curly hair, wearing a priest's robe, and carrying a scythe on his back that was larger than an ordinary farming tool.

"Why did you come here? It's safer to stay with Josie and the others at the edge of the cordon." Although Mr. Kosith said this, he still moved his body to give Leyton some space.

"I want to join your actions. Rather than guarding the periphery, I would rather be exposed to frontal combat. This can greatly improve my frontal combat ability, and with Teacher Kosith by my side, safety is also guaranteed!" Leyton said half-truthfully.

Wanting to improve his frontal combat ability through combat was true, but more than that, he wanted to familiarize himself with fighting skills. The next sequence of the Mystery Pryer is called Melee Scholar. Although his Mystery Pryer pathway belongs to the gift and does not require digestion and acting, it still needs to be familiarized with and mastered.

"Frontal combat is very dangerous." It was not Mr. Kosith who said this, but the unfamiliar Beyonder from the Church of the Earth Mother.

The other party looked at Leyton with some doubt in his eyes, not with malice or contempt, but with kind reminders.

"Yes, I know." Leyton nodded, indicating that he knew these things and was prepared.

"Haha! Kane, you can completely rest assured about his strength. I have killed a doppelganger of the Clown with this Executor from the Church of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom before." Uther laughed and defended Leyton.

Then, Uther introduced his companion to Leyton: "This is Kane Keynes, our priest, and also a physician."

Then, turning his head, he introduced Leyton to this companion named Kane: "This is Leyton, an Executor from the Church of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom."

"Hello." Leyton and the physician named Kane Keynes greeted each other.

"Where is your Beyonder pet cat? Why didn't you bring it with you? Are you worried that the environment here will affect it?" Seeing that Leyton and Kane knew each other, Uther immediately asked Leyton about Paz.

It seemed that Paz had left a deep impression on this Harvest Priest of the Church of the Earth Mother.

Leyton shook his head and said: "It left with its owner. It's not an Beyonder pet that I raised. The reason why I appeared there that day was because I was taking it to find its owner!"

"So that's how it is, what a pity. I originally wanted to ask you for advice on how to train Beyonder pets." Uther said with disappointment.

"Train Beyonder creatures? I remember that there is a sequence in the Apothecary pathway called Beast Tamer. You can completely ask them for advice?" Leyton gave other suggestions.

Uther shook his head and said: "They rely on their own Beyonder abilities and the attraction to animals brought by the potion, but I don't have any of these."

"Well, that's true, but why do you have the idea of raising an Beyonder pet? The potion is not cheap, and the probability of animals losing control after taking the potion is too high." Leyton asked doubtfully.

"Because of the special environment here, although most of the mutated creatures are full of madness, there are still some that have not been infected by madness, but have some strange Beyonder abilities because of the partial potion stored in them, which can also be regarded as magical animals." Kane Keynes gave an explanation.

Leyton suddenly felt a little tempted himself and wanted to raise a magical animal.

"There won't be too many of these magical animals, and their Beyonder abilities are mostly useless. That's why they can maintain their sanity. Of course, if you are willing, you can also give them the corresponding potion to promote them, and their success rate of advancement is much higher than ordinary animals." Mr. Kosith gave a more detailed explanation.

After listening to Mr. Kosith's description, Leyton's eyes lit up, and he thought of the two Farmer pathway Beyonder characteristics in his home.

Then he asked Uther: "Uther, do you know where there are magical animals that maintain their sanity? It has to be good-looking, I want to raise one too."

"I know a mutated colorful parrot, it can talk, and its Beyonder power is lying, but because of the mutation, it has become colorful and quite good-looking." Uther said.

Leyton imagined a parrot covered in seven-colored feathers in his mind, and then shook his head, feeling a bit unconventional.

"You can ask Sia. She and the captain are deeper in this area, and Sia also caught a gray-blue bobcat the size of a leopard yesterday, but that big cat was too badly injured by her yesterday and is still recuperating, so you didn't see it." Mr. Kosith gave a suggestion.

"A gray-blue bobcat the size of a leopard?" Leyton thought of the big cat that appeared when the people were evacuated from here before.

That big cat was shot by Sia at the time, wouldn't it be back for revenge, and then was beaten up badly again, and finally caught by Sia. Leyton guessed in his heart, suddenly feeling that the cat was quite miserable.
