Leyton, with his eyes closed, leaned against the carriage without sleeping. Instead, he was recalling the memories of when the divine power had controlled his body earlier. He always felt that his condition at the time was somewhat strange, as if someone was helping him pilot.

If it was truly just the divine aspect, the simplest approach would have been to directly reveal the Sequence 2's authority; that werewolf would have immediately lost control and died.

But at that time, he only displayed abilities at the Sequence 4 level, as if trying to minimize the impact on himself, preventing him from losing control or having his humanity suppressed by the divine power.

"This approach doesn't seem like something the divine power would care about when controlling the body. So, who was helping me pilot? The Knowledge Moor? Unlikely, it's still sealed; such manipulation is too difficult. The Hidden Sage? But why?" Leyton made constant guesses in his mind.

Leyton pondered for a long time but couldn't find a reason for the Hidden Sage to do this, so he could only temporarily give up.

"You two, stop pretending to be asleep; we've arrived at the Church of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom." Sia's voice interrupted Leyton's contemplation.

"Huh? So fast! Sister Sia, what are we doing at the Church of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom? Aren't we going back to the team?" Leyton asked, puzzled.

"The werewolf's characteristics need to be handed over to the church for processing, and your mental damage also requires potion treatment. Of course, I won't force you if you don't think it's necessary," Sia said, waving her hand as she walked into the church.

"I need it, of course, I need it!" Leyton quickly followed.

Speaking of mental damage, Leyton's head throbbed. This was already the most friendly treatment he could get. Leyton couldn't imagine how miserable he would be if the Hidden Sage hadn't been so kind to him.

There were too many people at the church, so Bugs Bunny could only pretend to be an ordinary pet rabbit. Leyton originally wanted it to sit on his shoulder as before, but Sia actually said he wasn't in good condition and simply held Bugs Bunny in her arms.

Leyton almost laughed out loud when he saw the human-like horror on the rabbit's face.

In Sia's arms, Bugs Bunny was like a dead rabbit, without any movement, even breathing carefully.

"It seems that the parrot who had its feathers plucked repeatedly also left a psychological shadow on this rabbit," Leyton thought to himself.

Leyton followed Sia to the innermost lounge for the church's clergy. Bishop Angerman King was already waiting for Leyton and Sia.

"Good afternoon, Your Excellency Bishop!" Sia greeted the bishop with a salute, her right hand drawing the shape of the All-Seeing Eye on her chest.

"Good afternoon! Your Excellency Bishop," Leyton followed Sia, making the same salute.

When facing the bishop, Sia was completely different from her usual style, like a playful female classmate pretending to be a well-behaved girl in front of her teacher.

"Good afternoon, you two!" Bishop Angerman returned the same greeting to them.

"Your Excellency Bishop, when I rushed over, that Rose School of Thought werewolf had already been killed by an unknown Sequence 5 or demigod," Sia went straight to the point after greeting.

"A fatal blow; the werewolf didn't have any chance to resist, and the opponent completely healed Leyton's fatal injuries in a short period," Sia said, glancing at Leyton, who was standing next to her.

"Yes, I understand," Bishop Angerman looked at the torn slits on Leyton's clothes and the hole in his chest, seeming to have already discerned the kind of attack Leyton had suffered.

Sia then took out the werewolf's Beyonder characteristics, and Bishop Angerman closed the box after taking a look.

"This characteristic has been corrupted by the evil god's power worshipped by the Rose School of Thought and cannot be directly used as the main ingredient for potions or made into Beyonder weapons. It can only be used after a certain purification process," Bishop Angerman commented.

Then he added, "Just leave it with the church; the church will record the corresponding merits on your behalf."

Sia and Leyton certainly had no objection to this. Anyway, they couldn't use it themselves, so it was better to exchange it for something from the church.

However, Sia didn't mention the existence of the Sealed Artifact on the werewolf, seemingly wanting to help Leyton pocket it.

"Leyton, stay here for a while; I'll prepare a potion to treat your mental damage. Your mental state needs to be adjusted, or tomorrow's advancement will have to be postponed," Bishop Angerman said simply, turning his gaze to Leyton.

"Advancement? Have you already digested the characteristics of the Student of Ratiocination and the Reader?" Sia looked at Leyton with disbelief.

Leyton spread his hands helplessly: "The under the sword took me running around and knew too many things before, so the Student of Ratiocination was digested at that time. Later, some accident happened, I saw some things, and then the Reader was also digested."

"Are you trying to stimulate me? Then you have indeed done it. After you become a Knowledge Keeper, I will help you quickly adapt to the improvements brought about by the potion," Sia said with a subtle tone.

"Ah haha, I'll have to trouble you with such a small matter, Sister Sia," Leyton immediately chickened out.

Bishop Angerman watched this scene with a smile and then left the lounge to prepare a potion to treat Leyton's mental damage.

"Sister Sia, is Bishop Angerman your former teacher?" Leyton asked curiously.

"You could tell?" Sia didn't refute.

Leyton nodded and said, "You act completely differently in front of Bishop Angerman than you do in front of us. It's too different. It's obvious that you're a student pretending to be well-behaved in front of your teacher."

"So, you think I'm very naughty?" Sia looked at Leyton with a hint of danger in her eyes.

"How could that be? Don't distort my meaning! I just want to say that you're more natural in front of us!" Leyton felt that Sia just wanted to find a reason to take her anger out on him.

"That's no fun! It seems that it's impossible to find a chance to leave you with a deep impression before leaving Madan," Sia said with a sigh.

"Leaving Madan?" Leyton was puzzled for a moment.

"Yes! You don't think it's normal for the Executor team in this small city to have two Sequence Sixes, do you?" Sia said.

"Our team isn't normal?" Leyton asked, puzzled.

"I'm just temporarily staying here. So many things have happened in Madan this time; I'll probably be transferred to investigate this matter," Sia said with reluctance in her tone.

"Separation is for a better reunion," Bishop Angerman had already prepared the potion and returned.

"Since Your Excellency Bishop, you've said so, it seems that the church has indeed sent me to investigate this matter," Sia said without surprise.

"Yes, the corresponding notice will be issued tomorrow," Bishop Angerman nodded.

Then the bishop handed a bottle of light golden potion to Leyton: "Drink it, go back and get some sleep, and you'll be fully recovered tomorrow."

"Okay," Leyton nodded.

He reached out and took the potion handed over by Bishop Angerman, opened the bottle, and poured it directly into his mouth. Leyton's expression froze for a moment. How could such a good-looking potion taste so bad?

Leyton didn't know whether to be happy or sad that he had finished it in one gulp. If he was happy, he wouldn't have been able to drink it if he hadn't finished it in one gulp; if he was sad, it was really hard to drink.

"Very clever! You actually knew to drink it all in one breath, not giving your mouth time to regret it," Sia praised, nodding from the side.

Leyton's face was pale, and he kept his mouth shut. He was really afraid that he would not be able to help but spit it out if he opened his mouth.

"Haha, a potion to treat mental damage; this is the most effective one, although the taste is a bit indescribable," Bishop Angerman explained.

"Your Excellency Bishop Angerman, this is not just indescribable; this is clearly a secondary injury!" Leyton complained loudly in his heart.
