After leaving Cattleya's captain's cabin, Leyton went to Frank's laboratory and found Bugs Bunny and Paz, who were eating fruit and dried fish.
"Boss, why are you here? Are you going to fight someone again?"
Bugs Bunny saw Leyton walk in, but didn't move his butt, lazily nibbling on fruit as he spoke.
Leyton looked at this cat-like rabbit with some helplessness.
"I shouldn't have let it stay with Paz, that slacker cat, all day," Leyton silently grumbled in his heart.
Leyton took a deep breath, suppressing the urge to kick this fat rabbit, and said:
"I'm here to say goodbye to Frank. We're about to leave the Future."
"Leave the Future?" Frank repeated, somewhat surprised.
"Yes, I have a new mission and can't stay at sea for now. I'll have to trouble you to continue with the experiments. I'll leave the messenger's incantation, so if you have any questions, you can contact me anytime through the messenger."
Leyton finished speaking in one breath.
Frank nodded:
"No problem, we already have one result here."
As Frank spoke, he rummaged through his lab, pulled out a pile of mushrooms, put them into a sack, and handed it to Leyton.
"Here! These are the improved mushrooms based on your suggestion. Their biggest advantage is rapid reproduction, and I even specially made several flavors of fruit and sea fish according to Paz's and Bugs Bunny's opinions."
Frank said proudly, then explained the detailed information about the mushrooms:
"I just simply added some flavor to these mushrooms; they are still ordinary mushrooms in essence."
"However, the rapid reproduction of this type of mushroom has certain requirements for nutrition and humidity, so it cannot be planted everywhere, and long-term planting will also cause some damage to the environment."
"This is unavoidable without the influence of Beyonder power."
Leyton nodded, taking the mushrooms Frank handed over:
"Okay, I understand. This is already very good. I will contact the Church of the Earth Mother after leaving the Future. I will clarify that these mushrooms were all optimized and improved by you."
Finally, he added:
"I think those people from the Church of the Earth Mother will look at you differently. Although their opinions aren't important, the Earth Mother might even look at you with appreciation!"
"Praise the Mother!" Frank praised the Mother in a very devout tone.
Leyton nodded, not responding. His identity was not suitable for saying such words as "Praise the Mother."
Especially when there was also a Wisdom Angel from the Church of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom who might look at him at any moment.
Leyton then turned his gaze to Paz, who was looking at him:
"Do you want to leave with me?"
"No, I want to be a pirate, Meow!"
As expected, Paz rejected Leyton's proposal. He had long since realized that this house cat had become a wild cat.
"Hmm, but later I'll tell Ilisa's brother that you're being a pirate on the Future."
During his time on the Future, Leyton had never revealed in his letter exchanges with Yas that he had met Paz.
"Meow~"
Paz shook his head and meowed, like an ordinary black cat that couldn't understand human speech.
"Don't just focus on eating dried fish. You still haven't paid the captain for your Sequence 8 potion ingredients! Be careful you don't work on the ship for the rest of your life, without salary or dried fish."
Leyton warned the slacker black cat.
Then, carrying the bag of mushrooms Frank had given him, he took Paz back to his room. He packed up his belongings and then, using the consciousness magic that connected to the Library in the Spirit World Depths, he put everything into the Library.
"Alright, things are done. We should head to the next place."
Leyton put the remaining items into his leather briefcase, and Bugs Bunny also jumped onto Leyton's shoulder and lay down.
Leyton's eyes were covered with a faint blue glow, and then his body and Bugs Bunny on his shoulder became transparent and disappeared from the spot.
"Wait a minute, Meow!" Paz rushed over quickly.
As a result, he pounced into empty air, hitting the wall panel of the room.
"Leave the small bed for me! I don't want to sleep on a wooden board! Meow~"
Paz's voice carried a hint of sorrow, but unfortunately, the room was already empty.
After six or seven consecutive Spirit World traversals, Leyton finally arrived in Loen. Holding Bugs Bunny's toy staff, he used the Staff Divination method to divine his way.
Finally, after three more Spirit World traversals, Leyton successfully arrived in Tingen City with Bugs Bunny.
"I wonder what stage the plot has reached now. I don't remember the details of the timeline very well," Leyton mused in his heart.
He randomly found a decent-looking hotel in the City and booked a room.
Adhering to the principle of "when in trouble, find the Hidden Sage," Leyton put down his briefcase in the room and immediately began to pray to the Hidden Sage:
"Sage who observes the world, eye that peers into truth, embodiment of endless knowledge and numerology!"
"I pray to You, I pray for a prophecy, where should the next events unfold?"
The Hidden Sage's response was quick. A scene of a small town quickly appeared in Leyton's mind. However, Leyton couldn't distinguish which place it was at all. Fortunately, the Hidden Sage was reliable and also gave a phrase: "Lamud Town."
"Morse Town?" Leyton thought for a long time before remembering what plot this was.
"The divine blood of the Eternal Blazing Sun! Although I don't know if I need a ritual to advance to a Mysticologist, getting it is definitely worthwhile."
Leyton quickly determined what he would do next.
He would go and get the Eternal Blazing Sun divine blood from that Sealed Artifact, and if appropriate, he might get to know the current Klein.
"You wait for me here. I'm going out for a bit."
Leyton said to Bugs Bunny, who was lying nearby, somewhat dizzy from the Spirit World traversal.
Bugs Bunny, weak as if carsick, waved his paw and then fell silent.
Seeing this, Leyton no longer bothered with the dizzy rabbit. He casually tossed Bugs Bunny's toy staff into the air, then used Spirit World traversal in the direction the staff tip pointed.
Leyton arrived at Morse Town via Spirit World traversal. Leyton, who appeared in a secluded spot in the town, had a pale and very unsightly face.
"Damn it! Too much spirituality consumed, almost fell into an unknown place."
Leyton, feeling dizzy, stumbled out of the Spirit World.
The Spirit World traversal used through Imitation consumed far more spirituality than that of a Traveler.
Leyton meditated and rested on the spot, recovering some spirituality, before he began to act.
Walking through the town, Leyton, observing his surroundings, noticed the fluctuation of Sun domain power not far away.
"Such good luck? I just arrived and already ran into it?" Leyton muttered in surprise.
He then approached the direction where the Sun domain power erupted. He saw Klein standing outside the Church. The other party seemed to sense something under his gaze and looked over.
Leyton had no choice but to use Spirit World traversal again, appearing directly inside the Church.
"Huh?" Klein withdrew his gaze in confusion.
He felt as if someone had just looked at him, but there was nothing there.
"Was the pressure from making the Sun Flame Charm too great just now?"
Klein muttered, no longer paying attention to the situation there.
Leyton, who appeared inside the Church, then took out a scroll.
"Hidden," he whispered in Dragonese. The scroll automatically burned, releasing the power of Hidden, isolating the interior of the Church.
"Who are you!"
A young man with short dark hair, emerald eyes, handsome and dashing but somewhat unkempt, spoke warily.
The other party made a warning gesture of drawing a gun, but then suddenly stopped, as if someone had told him that the other party was much stronger than him.
"Shh! Lower your voice, I have no ill intentions."
Leyton said, lightly pressing his right index finger to his lips.
But the tense Leonard opposite clearly didn't believe him and even took a step back nervously. Leyton was somewhat helpless, feeling like he was currently some perverted villain.
"Hello, Old Grandpa, how about we make a deal!"
Leyton didn't explain anything further and directly spoke to Leonard.
"Old Grandpa?"
Leonard highly suspected that the fellow opposite him was a Mid-Sequence Lunatic on the verge of losing control.
Leyton found that Pallez completely ignored him, so he spoke again, adding more information:
"Pallez Zoroast, as an Angel of the Marauder pathway, you should be able to sense what's on me. Let's talk! It's just a small deal, you definitely won't refuse."
"Angel?"
Leonard's emerald eyes were filled with disbelief and shock.
"I refuse! The one on you is at most a Sequence 2 Angel, and this is the Church of the Evernight Goddess."
Leonard spoke again, but this time his voice clearly sounded older.
Seeing that Pallez finally responded to him, Leyton breathed a sigh of relief. As long as he was willing to communicate, it would be easy.
"You misunderstood me. I was referring to my identity as a knowledge's Favored and the Earth Mother's blessing on me. This should prove that I have no ill intentions towards you, right!"
Leyton explained.
"Hmph! This is Loen, not Feynapotter, and certainly not Lenberg!"
Pallez replied with disdain.
"That's precisely why I can't do anything here!"
Leyton waved his hand, somewhat helpless. Pallez was too wary of him.
"Let me first state my bargaining chip! I know the location of a Marauder pathway Demigod. It's severely injured, so much so that it can only parasitically cling to a rat's body, clinging to life."
Leyton first stated his condition. Finally, he added:
"You don't have to worry about this information being problematic. I can swear in the name of the God of Knowledge that the Demigod parasitic on the rat is a descendant of the Jacob family. It is also Marauder with no common sense. I think it should be able to supplement your recovery of strength!"
Pallez fell silent, and the Church of the Evernight Goddess instantly became quiet.
