Although he couldn't understand why the Knowledge Moor wanted the Card of Blasphemy, as an honest and dutiful employee, Leyton could only find a way to complete the task. Of course, that would have to wait until his strength reached the demigod level or above.
"I have no clue about the perfecter card, but the wheel of fortune card is quite clear, it's with Bernadette. The Hermit card is also very likely with Bernadette; her old father must have left her some decent inheritance," Leyton recalled the information he knew and made his guesses.
"But I always feel that the probability of the Card of Blasphemy being in the hands of the True God Church is small. This is a scenario Roselle would not want to see, so there might still be a chance for the perfecter card," Leyton mused.
"The clearest target, Bernadette! The Card of Blasphemy in her hand has the highest probability of being acquired. I can exchange Roselle's information with her," Leyton set his first goal.
Thinking of Bernadette, a dangerous, uncontrollable thought popped into Leyton's mind: reading her old father's diary to Bernadette right in front of Roselle.
"If I really do that, will Roselle revive on the spot to hunt me down?" Leyton felt this was highly probable, but the dangerous thought in his mind kept bouncing around and couldn't be suppressed.
"Boss, what are you muttering about?" Bugs Bunny asked, bouncing onto the desktop in front of Leyton.
Bugs Bunny saw Leyton's expression turn strange after drinking that bottle of oddly colored potion, then he started muttering words that the rabbit couldn't understand, making Bugs Bunny a little worried if his boss had lost control.
"Nothing, just thinking about the action plan for leaving Feynapotter later," Leyton replied subsequently.
"Awoo! Has Boss completed his advancement? So, Boss, can you learn all sorts of spells now?" Bugs Bunny asked curiously.
"Yes, I've gained talent in learning and using spells, and I've also mastered some spells that come with the advancement," Leyton nodded and said.
Sequence 7 of the Mystery Pryer, in addition to strengthening the abilities of previous Sequences, mainly gains talent in spellcasting and some accompanying spells. There are no Beyonder abilities exclusive to this Sequence, but the abilities one can use are very comprehensive; the more knowledge one masters, the more comprehensive and powerful one becomes.
"Then are we going to prepare the spellcasting materials you mentioned, Boss!" Bugs Bunny had always been curious about the spellcasting Leyton had described to him.
"Hmm, no rush for that. The Beyonder materials I applied for from the Church these two times can also be used," Leyton explained.
Bugs Bunny didn't quite understand, but he still nodded. He was just very interested in spellcasting and wanted his boss to teach him too; nothing else mattered.
"It looks like you're in a good mood. Are you ready for the exam?" The Church's angel's crow avatar suddenly appeared in the room.
"Huh?" Leyton was stunned for a moment. This angel always appeared suddenly, and now his words were becoming more and more incomprehensible.
"Boss! Were you caught cheating this morning?" Bugs Bunny asked, looking at Leyton very sincerely.
Leyton's face darkened. He felt that this rabbit was deliberately bringing up his cheating this morning at this moment.
"Cheating?" The crow gazed at Leyton.
"What do you mean by 'ready for the exam'?" Leyton changed the subject with a completely normal expression.
"The exam you owe from advancing from Sequence 9 to Sequence 7," the crow explained.
After the crow explained, Leyton's face darkened even more. He finally understood why the captain had said he probably wouldn't be able to fool his way through. In front of a Wisdom Angel, there was no need to cheat, even if this crow was just one of his avatars.
"You are the invigilator?" Although he had already guessed, Leyton still asked, unwilling to give up.
"Of course, besides me coming to be your invigilator, who else could prevent you from cheating through the Hidden Sage?" The crow said without any regard for Leyton's feelings.
Leyton's mouth twitched. He hadn't even done that yet; it was just a thought in his mind, and it had been mercilessly suppressed by the other party.
Leyton strongly suspected that this Church angel had used the Prophet's divination ability regarding his exam.
"No need for divination; your thoughts and actions can be easily seen," the angel's avatar, the crow, had already seen through what Leyton was thinking.
"You're even more unfair than divination! This belongs to the 'Insight' of Sequence 3, right!" Leyton said with certainty.
The Sequence 3 "Cognizer" of the Reader Pathway "sees through" the rules of the world, mastering many deep-seated mysteries. In front of a Beyonder of this Sequence, there are hardly any secrets to speak of.
The other party could completely analyze his behavior based on their understanding of him, achieving the effect of premonition. Just like what this crow was showing now.
"You know a lot about this Pathway! You even know 'Insight,' which is one of the core abilities of the White Tower Pathway," the crow gazed at Leyton until Leyton's scalp tingled before withdrawing his gaze.
"One of the core abilities? What are the remaining core abilities?" Leyton asked curiously.
"You will know when you advance to the corresponding Sequence," the crow did not answer the question explicitly.
"What are you kidding about! Is it possible for me to advance to that level? The Cognizer of Sequence 3 is already the limit of this Pathway; changing Pathways won't work," Leyton said speechlessly.
The Five Omniscient and Omnipotent Pathways, each Pathway has a True God occupying it. Sequence 2 Angels are the leaders of their respective Churches or organizations; it's impossible to get one without being tied to their Chariot.
In contrast, the Pathways of the cowardly trio are much better; with good luck, one might even become a Sequence 1.
"You certainly know a lot!" The crow said with a sigh.
Leyton was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized that the other party seemed to be able to see what he was complaining about in his mind.
"It's really hard to have secrets in front of a Reader Pathway angel, even if it's just an avatar," Leyton sighed in his heart.
However, compared to having his complaints seen through by the other party, Leyton was more worried that his personality seemed to have changed subtly without his knowledge. If it was a problem caused by the potion or the corruption from the Knowledge Moor, it would be quite serious.
"Don't worry, this is not the influence of the potion, otherwise I would have warned you," the crow's words reassured Leyton.
"If you are very concerned about this issue, as long as you become a Wisdom Angel, you can detect very subtle changes in yourself and correct them," the crow added.
"Wisdom Angel? They have such an ability?" Leyton looked at the crow in front of him and said in disbelief.
"The 'Wisdom' of a Wisdom Angel can be reflected in many aspects," the crow did not elaborate on this topic.
Bugs Bunny, on the desktop nearby, had already skillfully slumped like a salted fish. Whenever his boss and this crow talked, he was in a state of confusion, unable to understand a single word.
"I see!" Leyton did not pursue this topic but changed the question: "Do you know about the perfecter card among the blasphemy cards?"
"Card of Blasphemy? You shouldn't have a need for a potion formula, and it's from the Paragon Pathway," the crow said with some confusion.
"I want to collect the blasphemy cards," Leyton only stated a thought he had in his mind, without revealing the Knowledge Moor's task.
"I don't know where this Card of Blasphemy is, but I know it's not in the Church of the God of Steam and Machinery," although this angel lord didn't know the whereabouts of the Card of Blasphemy, he at least confirmed Leyton's previous guess.
"However, I do know where the White Towern and Hanged Man blasphemy cards are," the crow added.
Leyton looked at the crow suspiciously, trying to find a clue from its expression.
"You're not going to say it's with you, are you? Or the Church of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom?" Leyton asked curiously.
"The White Towern card is indeed with me, and the Hanged Man card is with an ancient dragon that survived from the second epoch's Twin Years," the crow answered Leyton's question very straightforwardly.
Leyton blinked, somewhat disbelieving that this angel lord had just directly told him the information about the Card of Blasphemy.
"What's the use of knowing? Can you get the Card of Blasphemy from me or that ancient dragon?" The angel lord read Leyton's thoughts and said indifferently.
