"Boss, is this the sea? It's so big! I can't see the end of it," Bugs Bunny said, looking out at the azure ocean from the carriage.

Bugs Bunny was wearing a top hat and a cape, holding a small toy staff in his hand, and a glass bottle disproportionately large for his body hung from his waist, dressed like a wandering rabbit Magician.

"Yes, this is Seville, the largest port City southeast of Feynapotter. We'll be setting sail from here tomorrow," Leyton explained to the rabbit, who was curiously gazing at the sea.

Half a month had passed since leaving Madan, and Leyton hadn't rushed to sea. Instead, he had traveled leisurely, like on a long journey, to Seville, preparing to take a ship to the Rorsted Archipelago via Desi Bay.

After getting a Sealed Artifact for free from the Harvest Church, the next day, the Church of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom also delivered what Mr. Hughes had promised.

A new identity document, a mission transfer order, and Sealed Artifact 2-031, also known as the "Devil Badge," corresponding to a Devil of the Abyss Pathway Sequence 6. It was a very powerful Sealed Artifact, and equally dangerous.

The Church of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom's mission transfer order was more useful than Leyton had imagined.

Originally, Leyton just wanted to use it as a reason to leave Feynapotter, but unexpectedly, this mission transfer order easily resolved the potential objections from his Father and Mother.

Moreover, he could regularly receive funds from the Church of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom for his missions, which was also why Leyton was able to leave Madan so quickly.

"Boss, where are we going after we set sail?" Bugs Bunny withdrew his gaze from the sea.

"First to Desi Bay, then transfer to the Rorsted Archipelago. Of course, if we encounter our target midway, we'll just become pirates on the ship," Leyton said, adjusting the glasses on his nose.

Leyton didn't have a very clear goal. He felt that as long as he wandered the sea, with the Sage characteristic on him, he would eventually encounter Admiral of Stars Cattleya.

After arriving at the port by carriage, Leyton bought a first-class ship ticket with Bugs Bunny nearby, and then found a hotel to check in.

Placing the leather suitcase he was carrying on the cabinet in the hotel room, Leyton poured himself a cup of tea from the room and walked to the window, gazing at the sea not far away.

"Boss, is seawater really salty? Does that mean we don't need to add salt if we use seawater to make soup?" Bugs Bunny also hopped onto the window, looking at the sea nearby.

"I'll take you to the beach tonight. You can take a sip of seawater and taste it," Leyton suggested, seeing how interested the rabbit was in the sea.

"Hmm, Boss, when are we going to the beach tonight?" Bugs Bunny asked excitedly.

"Let's go after dinner. You can eat a little less, otherwise you won't be able to drink the seawater then," Leyton said, patting the rabbit's head.

"Okay, Boss!" Bugs Bunny replied excitedly.

Leyton's lips curved upwards. He hoped the rabbit would still be this excited after drinking seawater tonight.

"Boss, it's time. You need to smear fresh blood on that badge again," Bugs Bunny, who was lie on the window looking at the sea, turned back to remind Leyton.

"Okay, I know," Leyton responded.

Then he walked to the round table nearby, took out a small metal box from his coat pocket, which contained a blood-red Devil head badge.

Leyton took out the dagger he carried with him, made a cut on his palm, let the blood drip onto the badge, and then spread the blood evenly.

"How troublesome! Even if this Sealed Artifact is not used, it needs fresh human blood smeared on it every day," Leyton sighed.

This badge was Sealed Artifact 2-031 provided by the Church of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom to Leyton, also known as the "Devil Badge." It could use all Devil abilities except for Devilization and Malice Perception.

The negative effects were that it would increase the user's risk of losing control and magnify the user's desires, making it easy to be controlled by desires such as bloodlust and slaughter. Whether used or not, fresh human blood needed to be smeared on the badge every day.

However, this Sealed Artifact was indeed very powerful. Using it was equivalent to temporarily possessing the strength of a Sequence 6, and it was the kind that excelled in direct combat.

After smearing the blood evenly on the badge, Leyton closed the metal box again, and then took out a small bottle of healing potion from another pocket, applying it to the wound on his palm.

"When will I encounter a pirate? That way I won't have to bleed myself every day," Leyton sighed.

"Boss, aren't we going to be pirates on a pirate ship?" Bugs Bunny asked very timely.

Leyton gazed speechlessly at the rabbit lie on the window, deciding to make him drink two more mouthfuls of seawater tonight.

After resting for a while in the hotel, the waiter served dinner, which was local specialty cuisine and tasted quite good.

After dinner, Leyton took Bugs Bunny out. Before it got dark, Leyton planned to wander around the nearby port to see if he could find one or two pirates with bounties.

Either the pirates' disguise skills were too good, or Seville's public security was too good, Leyton and Bugs Bunny wandered around the port twice but didn't see a single wanted pirate with a bounty.

"Alas~ What a pity. I thought I could make a small fortune or find a long-term blood bag for the Devil Badge!" Leyton couldn't help but sigh.

"Let's go, we're going to the beach! Before the Sun completely sets, maybe we can still see the sunset," Leyton tilted his head and whispered to Bugs Bunny, who was lie on his shoulder.

Then he turned and walked towards the coast, planning to go to the beach before the Sun set. Before coming to this world, as someone from an inland province, he didn't have many opportunities to experience the sea.

A middle-aged man wearing a dark brown overcoat, with a plump figure, dark brown skin, and small eyes, hurried past Leyton.

The other party was walking very anxiously, and the corner of his coat brushed Leyton's hand as it swayed. The touch was cold and had a hint of chill.

Leyton frowned and continued walking to the beach as if nothing had happened. That person just now gave him a very cold feeling, like an undead.

This was the effect of enhanced spirituality after becoming a Spirit World Sorcerer, just like Eyes of Mystery Prying; even if he didn't actively peek, he would passively receive some information.

"Corpse Collector Pathway, not a high Sequence, most likely a Corpse Collector or Gravedigger. He should have been staying in a cemetery or contacting undead recently," Leyton subconsciously analyzed the other party.

Only after finishing the analysis did he react and let out a chuckle.

"No wonder Detectives are also called Detectives. This subconscious habit is really very similar to a Detective," Leyton felt that his understanding of Detectives had deepened.

"Boss, what are you saying?" Bugs Bunny, lie on his shoulder, looked at his Boss in confusion.

"Nothing. Did you smell anything on the person who just walked past us?" Leyton was a little curious if the rabbit's spirituality had detected anything.

"Hmm, it felt a little cold, but I didn't smell anything," Bugs Bunny recalled and said.

"I'm a rabbit, not a dog!" After realizing, he indignantly emphasized the fact that he was a rabbit again.

I found that the previous progress was a bit slow, so I'll speed it up and get to the start of the plot as soon as possible.
