"By the way, why is it you, Sister Sia, who came? Where's the Captain?" Leyton asked curiously.

"He suffered some injuries. Jessica took him and Mr. Kosith back," Sia's voice unusually carried a hint of anger.

"Injured?" Leyton was a little surprised.

"Yes, we encountered a Sequence 5 Scarlet Scholar, but it's fine now. The other party has already left Madan City," Sia said in a muffled voice, clearly this was not a pleasant memory.

"Madan City is really chaotic. In this short period of time, it has completely subverted my understanding of this city since I was a child," Leyton said speechlessly. This small city was simply full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers.

Apart from Backlund and Trier, such large cities, how could ordinary cities gather so many Sequence 5 and Sequence 6 individuals? There was also a Sanguine who wanted to advance to Sequence 4 before.

"What are you thinking about?" Sia asked curiously when she saw that Leyton hadn't spoken for a while.

"I'm wondering how we're going to get back? It seems like no carriages are willing to come here," Leyton changed the subject.

"I've already notified the Captain. He will send someone to pick us up," Sia explained.

Leyton finally breathed a sigh of relief. He was really worried that Sia would make him, an injured person, walk back. This was definitely something Sia could do.

Bugs Bunny walked to Leyton's side with the wooden red harmonica and leaned against Leyton. As for the cane he had been holding, it had long been thrown somewhere.

"What's that harmonica in your hand?" Leyton asked in confusion. He didn't remember his rabbit having such a thing.

"Your spoils of war, the sealed artifact from that werewolf," Sia explained.

"Spoils of war? Did you take the werewolf's Beyonder characteristics?" Leyton finally remembered that he still had spoils of war and hurriedly asked Bugs Bunny.

"Yeah, yeah! Gone."

"What do you mean? You got it? And then it's gone?" Leyton was a little confused by the rabbit's answer.

"I took the werewolf's Beyonder characteristics. There are restrictions left by the evil god on it. You can't use it even if you have it, and it will attract hatred," Sia explained the reason.

"Ah! That's a Sequence 7 characteristic! I don't need it myself, but I can exchange it for cash or mystical items of equal value!" Leyton said with disappointment.

"Pa!" Sia slapped Leyton on the forehead.

"Don't be too greedy. You're not short of this little bit of money. Even the pet you raise can hold two sealed artifacts. Other Beyonders will be furious when they see this!" Sia said speechlessly.

"How can this be the same? This is the spoils of war I won at the risk of my life, and even the landlord's family has no surplus grain! I have to take care of the expenses of two Beyonders at the same time, how can I have any money!" Leyton directly began to complain about being poor.

"Yo~ The young master is also out of money! Do you want to consider the shortcut you recommended to Josie?" Sia said jokingly.

"No, unless the other party is a great beauty like Sister Sia!" Leyton shook his head proudly.

"People can't do it! I'm still waiting to take your shortcut!" Sia said with a look of regret.

Then she returned to her normal tone and said: "The church will record your merits, and later you can also apply for mystical items or materials of similar value."

After Leyton and Sia chatted for a while, the carriage sent by the Captain finally arrived. Leyton was dragged by Sia and thrown into the carriage, and Bugs Bunny followed behind, hopping into the carriage.

"Hiss~ Sister Sia! You're too much! I'm still injured! How can you be so brutal?" Leyton's already drowsy head was directly thrown into a dizzy state.

"Is there such an energetic injured person like you?" Sia retorted.

This guy was clearly half-dead when I first came, and he recovered so much energy just waiting for a carriage. Sia even felt that Leyton didn't look like a Beyonder of the Reader pathway at all.

"By the way, Big Sis Sia, do you know the effect of this harmonica?" Leyton wisely changed the subject.

"Yes." Sia lightly explained the specific effects of this sealed artifact:

The red beast-taming harmonica corresponds to the Beast Tamer of Sequence 8 of the Apothecary pathway. It can play silent music to attract ordinary animals around it, and it can also issue some simple commands to them.

However, it will not gain the ability to communicate with animals. That is to say, you can simply command the surrounding animals, but the communication effect and the feedback obtained vary from person to person.

The negative effect of this sealed artifact is that as the usage time increases, the user will uncontrollably be infected with the habits of animals, until finally, psychologically, they completely recognize themselves as an animal rather than a human.

Leyton frowned slightly. The effect of this sealed artifact was not strong. Leyton couldn't figure out how the werewolf used it to monitor him with those birds. It couldn't be that the werewolf could speak bird language.

"The werewolf possesses some dark magic. He can obtain certain information through corpses, and he is originally a werewolf, which can be considered half an animal. The negative effects of this sealed artifact are therefore minimized," Sia explained, seemingly seeing Leyton's doubts.

After hearing Sia's explanation, Leyton roughly understood why the werewolf would keep this seemingly useless sealed artifact on his body. For werewolves who did not lack attack methods, this sealed artifact was perfect.

As a werewolf, he could make good use of its abilities without being greatly affected by negative effects.

"No wonder Sister Sia gave this sealed artifact to Bugs Bunny. This is simply a tailor-made sealed artifact for extraordinary animals like it," Leyton exclaimed.

"Although your rabbit can avoid the negative effects of this sealed artifact, are you sure it can communicate with other different types of animals? Otherwise, this sealed artifact will become a rabbit summoner," Sia retorted.

Leyton wasn't sure about this either, so he could only turn to look at Bugs Bunny, who was holding the harmonica and lying next to him.

"Waaah~ I'm just a rabbit! I can only understand the words of cats, dogs, and silly birds. I haven't seen other animals," Bugs Bunny said confidently.

"Whoa! You know quite a few foreign languages. I'll take you to recognize the fish in the sea later, and try to learn a few more dialects," Leyton said with surprise.

Bugs Bunny paused for a moment, then lay straight on the seat in the carriage, sleeping peacefully.

"This rabbit is quite dramatic! No wonder it's the rabbit you raised," Sia couldn't help but retort at this scene.

"Let me state that the rabbit's behavior has nothing to do with me!" Leyton felt that his reputation seemed to be damaged.

"Alright, stop being silly. Just shut up and rest, I need to think about some things quietly," Sia's expression became serious for once.

Leyton reached out and made a zipper-pulling gesture on his mouth, not caring whether Sia understood it or not, and closed his eyes to rest, just like Bugs Bunny, relying on the carriage.

Sia shook her head helplessly, ignoring these two drama queens in front of her, and pondered everything that had happened today.

On the surface, it seemed that people from the Rose School of Thought were chasing and killing defectors, but how could a mere Sequence 7 defector require the dispatch of a Scarlet Scholar, and the purpose of that Scarlet Scholar who suddenly appeared seemed to be different from other members of the Rose School of Thought.

"Is it a Sanguine who believes in the Primordial Moon? I wonder if the Sanguine viscount who wanted to jump pathways to advance to demigod before has anything to do with them," Sia frowned and pondered, looking at the scenery outside the carriage.

The series of events that have recently occurred in Madan always made Sia feel that there was some purpose or conspiracy hidden behind it all.
