Not long after Leyton returned home with Bugs Bunny, Uther arrived with a carriage full of documents to visit.

His mother, Isabel, saw Uther, who was wearing the long robe of an Church of the Earth Mother clergyman, and thought he had come to find Leyton's father.

"Sir, are you looking for Patch? He won't be back in Madan for another two days," Isabel said.

"Good afternoon, madam. I am here for Mr. Leyton. I have brought the documents he needs," Uther explained.

His mother, Isabel, looked very strange. If she remembered correctly, didn't her son join the Church of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom? Why would someone from the Church of the Earth Mother come to deliver documents to him?

Isabel suppressed her confusion and said with a smile, "Okay, please wait a moment. I'll call Leyton down now."

His mother, Isabel, went to Leyton's room on the second floor and saw her son staring at the rabbit sitting on the table.

She knocked twice on the open door and then said, "Little Leyton, a clergyman from the Church of the Earth Mother is outside. He said he's here to deliver documents to you. Aren't you with the Church of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom? Since when did the relationship between the Church of the Earth Mother and the Church of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom become so good?"

"That fast? Okay, I'll be right down," Leyton replied.

He immediately got up and walked downstairs, explaining to his mother, "No, it's because I reached an agreement with the Church of the Earth Mother, which is why they're bringing me documents."

By the time he finished speaking, Leyton had already reached the first floor. Arriving at the main entrance, Leyton saw Uther already waiting there.

"Uther, I didn't expect you to arrive so quickly," Leyton said with a light chuckle.

"Most of the church's documents don't need much organizing. I just brought all of them over. Where do you need them placed? I'll help you move them," Uther said very politely, with a hint of respect.

"Just put them in my study. Are there a lot of documents?" Leyton asked, looking at the carriage behind Uther.

"Yes, the carriage behind me is full, and there are some that couldn't fit in this carriage. I'll bring them over later," Uther nodded honestly.

A whole carriage couldn't fit them all? Leyton's mouth twitched. At this moment, he already regretted it. The Church of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom's books were already numerous and difficult to read, and now there were so many more documents.

Leyton already regretted not being able to resist the Church of the Earth Mother's temptation earlier. Leyton felt that these documents were even enough for him to digest the Reader potion several more times.

At this moment, Leyton only wanted to exclaim, "Learning makes one decadent!"

"Some of these documents are confidential files of the Church of the Earth Mother. I hope you won't disclose them," Uther added.

"Okay, I'll be careful," Leyton nodded expressionlessly.

Leyton called the male servant Robert and Uther to help move these documents to his bedroom on the second floor. Leyton looked at his bedroom, which was now a rabbit's nest and a document storage, and it suddenly seemed a bit crowded.

"I need to use another room as my study," Leyton thought to himself.

After moving the documents, Uther bid farewell and left, saying he would go back and bring the remaining documents.

Leyton told him not to rush, as the pile of documents in his bedroom alone would take an eternity to read.

"The plan to recruit Frank is imminent, and this rabbit can't be let off either. I'll have the Hidden Sage instill knowledge into it, and then have it help me read that pile of documents," Leyton planned in his mind.

Bugs Bunny, who was playing magic tricks with the Great Magician's Top Hat on the desk nearby, suddenly felt a chill down its spine, as if it had been targeted by a terrifying hunter.

Bugs Bunny cautiously looked around and only saw Leyton frowning at a pile of documents. It rubbed its rabbit head and turned away, thinking it was just its imagination.

"What did you do? Why do you have the Earth Mother's blessing on you again?" A sudden voice came from the room.

A crow suddenly appeared beside Bugs Bunny, scaring Bugs Bunny into jumping back, missing its footing, and falling to the ground.

"Waaah~, there's a ghost!" Bugs Bunny cried out loudly, lying on the ground.

"Stop yelling, there's no ghost, only a crow more terrifying than a ghost," Leyton reminded Bugs Bunny.

Bugs Bunny didn't pay attention to the part about being more terrifying than a ghost. It wobbled up from the ground and jumped back onto the table. It had seen this crow before; besides looking a bit bizarre, there was nothing strange about it.

"What Earth Mother's blessing?" Leyton asked the angel's avatar with some curiosity.

"On you, the blessing given by the Earth Mother," the crow answered concisely.

"Huh? I have the Earth Mother's blessing on me? No wonder the Church of the Earth Mother is acting so proactive and generous," Leyton said thoughtfully.

"Just a reminder, the New Year is approaching, and these next few days are the Church of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom's year-end exams. Also, you've advanced too quickly and owe the advancement exams from Sequence 9 to Sequence 7, which also need to be made up," the crow, the angel's avatar, spoke terrifying words in an unadorned language.

Leyton was stunned for a moment before he reacted.

"Are you a devil?" Leyton truly regretted joining the Church of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom instead of the Church of the Earth Mother.

"I'm not a low-level creature like a devil!" the crow's voice said with disdain.

Leyton choked for a moment, unable to think of a rebuttal.

"Why does the Church of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom have exams!" Leyton could only complain with a tone of grief and indignation.

"The Earth Mother has already left a blessing on you. No matter what you promised the Church of the Earth Mother, you cannot go back on it," the crow said, answering evasively.

After saying this, the crow quickly lost its color and vanished from the spot.

Leyton looked at the place where the crow disappeared, wanting to roll his eyes speechlessly. He felt that this crow was just here to prod him, to remind him not to forget that he belonged to the Church of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom, not the Church of the Earth Mother.

"Boss, you still have exams!" Bugs Bunny asked curiously after the crow left.

"It seems so. So, all these documents sent by the Church of the Earth Mother can only be given to you, alone. Oh no, to one rabbit to read," Leyton said, showing a devilish smile to the fat rabbit.

Bugs Bunny's crimson eyes widened as it looked at its boss in disbelief.

"I'm just a rabbit! I don't know that many words, and I can't understand those documents!" Bugs Bunny argued for itself.

"That's not a problem. I'll find the Hidden Sage to instill the relevant knowledge in you," Leyton explained.

"Waaah~" Bugs Bunny cried out loudly.

It rolled around on the table, acting cute, and then started playing dead.

Leyton poked the drama queen rabbit's belly: "You might as well lie still now. That way, when the Hidden Sage instills knowledge into you, you won't have to fall over again."

"Waaah~ Boss, this is animal abuse!" Bugs Bunny accused loudly.

"You're not an ordinary small animal, but a Beyonder animal. Don't forget, the Church of the Earth Mother has promised you your subsequent advancement potions. As long as the experiment is successful, even Sequence 4 demigod-level potions, the Church of the Earth Mother will not be stingy with," Leyton offered a very tempting persuasion.

"No, that many documents will kill a rabbit!" Bugs Bunny didn't fall for it.

"Don't worry! It's not all being given to just one rabbit. You're just an assistant. I already have someone in mind for the real work," Leyton comforted the rabbit.

"Who?" Bugs Bunny pressed.

"A very distinctive pirate. After the New Year, we'll go out to sea to find him," Leyton said.

"Really? You're not lying to a rabbit?" Bugs Bunny didn't quite believe Leyton's words.

"You're just a rabbit. Even if I were lying to you, one rabbit couldn't complete such a big project!" Leyton patiently explained.

Only then did Bugs Bunny believe Leyton's words. But looking at the large pile of documents from the Church of the Earth Mother stacked nearby, Bugs Bunny still felt it was too much for one rabbit.

Leyton felt it was more important now to find the Hidden Sage to instill knowledge into himself and Bugs Bunny. He altered the secret ritual pointing to Fool that he understood, making the secret ritual point to the Hidden Sage.

"From the currently known information, the Hidden Sage bears no ill will towards me. In fact, it is my most useful leg to lean on," Leyton muttered to himself.

Then Leyton began to prepare the secret ritual, hoping that the Hidden Sage would give him more useful knowledge.

"Sage who discerns the world, eye that peers into truth, embodiment of endless knowledge and numerology!"

The connection of the secret ritual was bidirectional; the knowledge and information Leyton himself possessed would also be known by the Hidden Sage. However, Leyton didn't think this was a problem. From the Sage characteristic on him, he could guess that he had no secrets to speak of before the Hidden Sage.

Leyton repeatedly thought to himself, "Later, give my rabbit some basic knowledge, just enough for it to understand the documents."

This thought didn't linger in Leyton's mind for long. The Hidden Sage's knowledge infusion made Leyton's head suddenly swell with pain. It was as if countless tiny insects were drilling into his head.

Fortunately, the Detective potion greatly enhanced Leyton's memory and comprehension, which made Leyton's acceptance of knowledge infusion much stronger than that of an ordinary Mystery Pryer.

Enduring the throbbing pain in his head, Leyton entered a rapid thinking mode, quickly organizing and categorizing the extra information in his mind.

The throbbing pain in his head lasted for about three to five minutes before gradually subsiding. However, Leyton then heard his rabbit's screams.

"Waaah~ Help! Boss, the rabbit's dying!" Bugs Bunny's screams echoed in Leyton's ears.

Only after his headache subsided did Leyton have the energy to pay attention to his fat rabbit. Bugs Bunny was rolling back and forth on the table, screaming repeatedly.
