Fortunately, in the following two days, Leyton didn't encounter any more suspected cultists or Beyonders of unknown origin. Otherwise, Leyton would have really started to suspect that Madan was a stronghold for some kind of cult.

Leyton's application for the Mystery Pryer potion hadn't been approved yet, which made him a little worried. He wondered if the higher-ups in the church thought he was applying for potions too quickly, and that he hadn't digested the previous potion, so they rejected his application.

However, Leyton felt that the probability of this happening was not high. Whether it was the God of Knowledge or that angel, they should arrange things for him.

"Another day spent idling away with an anxious heart." Leyton sighed inwardly, then took Bugs Bunny home.

After getting into the carriage, Leyton idly looked around the city. Although it was just a small city, it was actually quite well-built, at least most of the districts were.

The architecture here was similar to the Victorian style, with triangular gables, high-pitched roofs, prominent eaves, and sometimes turrets and balconies with columned porticos. Dark and bright colors were the main tones here.

Bugs Bunny, who was lying on the other side of the carriage looking at the scenery outside, suddenly scratched Leyton's hand twice urgently.

"What's wrong?" Leyton turned around and asked curiously.

"I saw that person last time, the one with the cowboy hat when we bought the seeds," Bugs Bunny said softly.

Leyton followed Bugs Bunny's line of sight and saw a figure wearing a cowboy hat, a gray coat, about 1.75 meters tall, with very thick hair on his body, walking away into the distance.

The exposed wrists and the side of the face had black body hair, but soon the figure disappeared from Leyton's sight.

"Are you sure it's the same person we met when we bought the seeds last time?" Leyton turned to ask Bugs Bunny.

The Beyonder who was suspected to be a cultist, whom they met when buying seeds before, intentionally obscured his face, and Leyton didn't see clearly what he looked like. The person he saw just now was just a back view, and there were no more similarities between the two except for their height and the cowboy hat on their head.

Bugs Bunny nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes! It's him, the terrible feeling he gave me when he looked at me just now was exactly the same."

"He looked at you? What did you do?" Leyton frowned slightly, a little puzzled.

"I don't know, I was just looking at the people outside and accidentally saw him, and then he looked over at me," Bugs Bunny said, shaking his head.

"Don't stare at people too carelessly in the future. Beyonders are very sensitive to this kind of gaze. He should have noticed your gaze," Leyton warned Bugs Bunny.

The carriage went all the way to White Maple Street, and Leyton got off the carriage directly at the intersection, without choosing to go directly to his doorstep.

After getting off the carriage, Leyton subtly activated the Eyes of Mystery Prying, looked around, and relaxed after confirming that there was nothing unusual.

Whether the Beyonder he met just now was the same person as last time or not, the other party had already noticed Bugs Bunny. Recently, he had encountered several unfriendly Beyonders in a row, and Leyton had to be careful to guard against anyone becoming interested in the Beyonder characteristics of this rabbit.

"What's wrong?" Bugs Bunny noticed Leyton's pause and looked around, asking nervously.

"It's nothing, let's go." Leyton shook his head and didn't say much.

After letting Bugs Bunny lie on his shoulder, Leyton walked towards his house.

"Why do I always feel a faint sense of unease in my heart!" Leyton frowned slightly as he walked and pondered.

After Leyton left with Bugs Bunny, a gray carrier pigeon flapping its wings landed on the roof next to him, glanced at the direction Leyton left, and then flew away.

In a cheap hotel several streets away, a figure stood by the window. He was holding a red wooden melodica the size of an adult's palm in both hands, playing it silently.

He deliberately lowered the brim of the cowboy hat on his head, wearing a gray-white long trench coat, and a dark turtleneck sweater with a collar inside. The exposed cheeks on both sides were covered with thick black hair, and with the dark green eyes, he looked like a bloodthirsty wolf.

In the other party's silent playing, a gray carrier pigeon fluttered its wings and landed on the windowsill.

He put down the wooden melodica in his hand, reached out and grabbed the gray carrier pigeon that had landed in front of him forcefully. He brought the struggling pigeon in his hand to his mouth and bit its neck off in the pigeon's struggle.

"Bah~" He spat out the feathers that had gotten on his mouth, and the corners of his mouth, stained with a little blood, grinned into an exaggerated smile, full of madness and bloodlust.

On the other side, Leyton, who opened the door with Bugs Bunny, didn't see the butler waiting in the living room, but a delicately dressed middle-aged woman.

A head of golden wavy long hair was simply draped behind her back, with a pointed face, long eyebrows, light blue eyes, faint crow's feet at the corners of her eyes, and slightly loose skin, bearing the traces of time.

She was wearing a casual gray house robe, with a pair of round-framed gold-rimmed glasses on her face, sitting on the sofa in the living room, holding a thick book and reading it carefully.

The sound of Leyton pushing the door startled the middle-aged woman who was concentrating on reading. She looked up. The moment she saw Leyton, a very warm smile appeared on her face.

"Mother!" Leyton was stunned in place, but the memory of the body made Leyton open his mouth and shout the moment he saw her.

The middle-aged woman in front of him was Leyton's mother in his memory, Isabel Eli, a scholar from Lenberg.

Isabel calmly got up and walked to Leyton, reached out and stroked Leyton's cheek, revealing a smile full of nostalgia and relief.

"I didn't expect my little Leyton to be taller than his mother!" The smile on Isabel's face was a little dazed.

"Yes, I've grown up." Leyton felt a little at a loss, feeling the warmth from his mother.

"Come in quickly, we don't need to stand at the door all the time, do we?" Isabel gave a just right smile and pulled Leyton to sit on the sofa.

"Woah!" Bugs Bunny, lying on Leyton's shoulder, made a sound in a timely manner to show his presence.

"A very handsome little rabbit, is this the pet Sean mentioned?" Isabel couldn't refuse a little rabbit who took the initiative to come up and act cute, and soon her attention was diverted by Bugs Bunny.

Isabel took Bugs Bunny from Leyton's shoulder, and when she held him in her hand, Isabel realized that this very cute rabbit was heavier than it looked, and she was finding it a little difficult to hold him.

Fortunately, Bugs Bunny knew how to cooperate, and jumped from Leyton to the sofa next to Isabel on his own.

"What's his name? Why did you dress him up like a magician?" Isabel's attention was completely drawn to Bugs Bunny.

Seeing that his mother's attention had been diverted, Leyton finally breathed a sigh of relief. No matter how familiar the memory and the body's performance were, Leyton still found it a little difficult to adapt to his new family in his heart.

"Bugs Bunny, show your magic to mother." Leyton said to Bugs Bunny, while signaling with his eyes not to perform anything too outrageous.

"Bugs Bunny? Why did you give such a cute rabbit such a name?" Isabel was stunned by the name Leyton gave the rabbit.

"It's fun!" Leyton shrugged indifferently, not explaining his bad taste, anyway, the people in this world don't understand.

After hearing Leyton's words, Bugs Bunny cooperated very well and jumped onto the coffee table, stood upright on two legs, took off the tall hat on his head, and put it in front of his chest to give a newly learned salute.

"Haha! How interesting!" Bugs Bunny's actions made Isabel cover her mouth and giggle.

Bugs Bunny turned the Great Magician's Top Hat upside down on the coffee table, and used the opening ability of this Sealed Artifact to play his favorite trick of turning things into rabbits.

"Haha, my dear little Leyton, how did you teach a rabbit to do magic?" Mother Isabel was completely immersed in Bugs Bunny's magic performance.

"This rabbit is quite talented." Leyton responded in a low voice.

The awkward situations that Leyton had imagined in his mind after meeting his parents did not happen. On the contrary, Leyton found that he was quite adapted to this newly appeared mother, as if everything was so simple and warm.
