As the memories were gradually accepted by Leyton, the throbbing pain in his head dissipated once again. It was at this moment that Leyton began to contemplate his current situation.
The identity of the body he now inhabited was Leyton Soth, a Feynapotter, living in a small city called Medan located at the border of Feynapotter, Lenburg, and Segar.
Because it was situated at the intersection of three countries, although it still belonged to Feynapotter, there were many people from the other two countries as well.
The mainstream faith here was the Earth Mother, but there were also some people who believed in the God of Knowledge and Wisdom.
Leyton's father was Patch Soth, a grain merchant who believed in the Earth Mother, while his mother, Isabel, a scholar from Lenburg, believed in the God of Knowledge and Wisdom.
Because his parents' beliefs were not aligned, they didn't interfere too much with Leyton's faith, as long as he didn't worship evil gods.
However, with a mother who was a scholar, Leyton naturally had more exposure to knowledge, which also made him a superficial believer in the God of Knowledge and Wisdom.
Recalling Feynapotter, Lenburg, and the two true gods, the God of Knowledge and Wisdom and the Earth Mother, Leyton naturally understood that he was no longer in his original world but in the world of "Lord of the Mysteries."
Involuntarily, scenes from "Lord of the Mysteries" flashed through Leyton's mind. He subconsciously clutched his head, trying to divert his attention with pain. Leyton clearly remembered the setting in "Lord of the Mysteries"—knowledge itself possessed power, and the more one knew, the more dangerous it became.
The anticipated terror did not descend. Leyton relaxed and rubbed his head, which he had squeezed until it hurt.
"What an unlucky head!" he muttered.
Only then did Leyton carefully recall his memories, discovering that the dangerous parts had been shielded. At the same time, a lot of mystical knowledge had been added to his mind, not the generalized descriptions from the novels he had read before, but more specific and detailed mystical knowledge.
There was no memory of acquiring this mystical knowledge in Leyton's memories, which made Leyton's just-relaxed heart tense up again.
Temporarily suppressing these doubts, Leyton continued to sort through Leyton's memories so that he could better integrate into this world.
"It's the end of 1348 now. There's less than a year left before Mr. Fool appears. Time is really tight!" Leyton couldn't help but sigh after realizing where he was on the timeline.
Leyton's parents were away from home for most of the year, one traveling around for business, and the other engrossed in academic research, constantly investigating and gathering materials. Leyton didn't know how the two of them became husband and wife. As far as their daily lives were concerned, it couldn't be said that they had no interaction, but rather that they each did their own thing.
But as their child, Leyton Soth was completely different from his parents. Leyton liked a stable life. Although as a young man, he yearned for the outside world, compared to the exciting lives his parents described, Leyton still preferred the quiet and leisure of the small town.
Leyton's personality made his mother, a scholar, always believe that Leyton had only inherited the appearance of the two of them, while his personality had mutated. If Leyton's father hadn't diverted Isabel's attention, perhaps her research goals would have included Leyton as well.
"Fortunately, I'm not that crocodile Leyton from the League, and I don't have a brother named Nasus!" Leyton relieved his tense emotions by complaining.
"No! From now on, I am Leyton." Leyton adjusted his expression while tidying up his clothes in front of the mirror, making his temperament look more like that of a somewhat inexperienced young man.
"Besides me, there is also a butler and two servants in the house, but luckily today the butler took the two servants out shopping, otherwise the previous commotion couldn't have been concealed." Thinking of this, Leyton breathed a slight sigh of relief.
"Knock, knock, knock!"
The sound of knocking on the front door came, and Leyton's emotions tightened suddenly.
"Relax! Relax! The butler has the key to the house, so whoever is coming should be someone else. As long as I pay attention, I shouldn't give myself away." Leyton consoled himself in front of the mirror.
After tidying up his clothes again and adjusting his expression, he left the study.
After arriving in the hall, the knocking sound had stopped, as if knowing that someone in the house was coming to open the door. Leyton was a little surprised at first, but when he thought that this was a world of mystery and the supernatural, it was not strange.
After all, Klein in the Clown stage was able to see the appearance of the person outside the door, so it was not strange for the person outside to know that he was walking towards the door.
He tried to make his expression look natural and his movements more coordinated. Thinking that this was a world with mystery and the supernatural, Leyton became more cautious. Even through the door, the person outside might know his current expression and movements.
Leyton walked to the door with a practiced posture. He originally wanted to say "Who is it!", but then he restrained himself from this completely out-of-character thought, and then, according to Leyton's consistent style in his memory, he opened the door directly and quickly pulled it open.
Standing at the door were two people Leyton didn't recognize: a middle-aged gentleman in his thirties or forties, with dark brown hair neatly combed, some wrinkles on his forehead, a meticulously groomed mustache, light blue and deep eyes, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, standing tall and straight, estimated to be around 1.85 meters tall, wearing a brown long trench coat, inside was an off-white patterned shirt, and the lower half of his body was brown trousers and black leather shoes. The clothes on his body were also meticulously taken care of, and coupled with his angular features, the direct feeling he gave was that of a stubborn and serious university professor.
Behind this gentleman, offset by half a step, was a young man in his twenties, with light golden hair that was naturally curly and didn't seem to have been carefully styled, appearing somewhat messy, with soft and lively features, a faint smile always on the corner of his mouth, appearing humble and polite, like a young man just entering society.
He was slim, about 1.8 meters tall, wearing the same style brown long trench coat as the older gentleman next to him. Underneath was a simple patterned white shirt, with a decorative pocket on the left chest of the shirt, with a pair of round gold-rimmed glasses hanging on it. The simple clothing without deliberate matching and grooming, but appeared more natural, coupled with his gentle and handsome features, easily left a good impression at first glance.
"Sure enough, gold-rimmed glasses are standard equipment for every Lenburger. As long as you wear glasses, you are a scholar, right?" Leyton couldn't help but complain inwardly while subtly looking at the two people standing in front of the door.
"Hello! May I ask if you are Mr. Leyton Soth?" The middle-aged gentleman, who had meticulously groomed himself, spoke first.
"Looking for me?" Leyton was surprised in his heart. Originally, looking at the attire of these two people, Leyton thought they were friends or colleagues of his mother in Lenburg.
Only slightly surprised, Leyton immediately suppressed the doubts in his heart, while trying to make himself act like the original Leyton.
Medan was adjacent to Lenburg, and Leyton had no doubt that these two people were believers of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom. If the two people in front of him were Beyonders, then they would most likely be Beyonders of the Reader pathway.
The Reader pathway was definitely a pathway good at observation and reasoning. Even if Beyonders were ultimately only a minority group, Leyton did not dare to gamble that neither of the two people opposite him were Beyonders.
After all, the people of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom's church basically only had this pathway. Perhaps the church also had the potion formulas of other pathways, at least the All-Seer family definitely knew a lot, but the church only chose the Reader pathway, which belonged to the God of Knowledge and Wisdom, perhaps it was a group of scholars despising the barbarians of other pathways!
After all, other pathways related to knowledge had corresponding high-ranking beings, even the Mystery Pryer pathway, which didn't have a true god, had an evil god, the Hidden Sage, existing, and they were not adjacent pathways either.
Now Leyton could only try to act as much like the original Leyton as possible, after all, he had no way of knowing how familiar the two people in front of him were with the original Leyton.
But just now, this middle-aged gentleman directly said Leyton's name, so at least he knew some information about Leyton.
