Whether it was because of his words, "I still need to study it," Leyton didn't know, but the rabbit stubbornly refused to sign the contract.
"Follow me and you'll eat well and drink well; follow her and she'll eat you well and drink you well. Choose one!" Leyton pointed at himself and Sia, letting the rabbit make a choice.
The fat rabbit immediately pretended to be dead on the ground, not even twitching no matter how much Sia kicked it.
"Looks like it's really dead. Let's roast it and eat it, otherwise it won't be fresh if we leave it too long," Leyton said with a voice full of regret.
Sia rolled her eyes at Leyton, then echoed, "This rabbit is too fat, perfect for half to be barbecued and half to be made into pies."
"I'm not dead, I'm not dead!" the rabbit hurriedly opened its eyes and shouted loudly.
Leyton grabbed the rabbit's ears and lifted it up, discovering that the rabbit was indeed fat, weighing at least twenty or thirty pounds.
"You're tainted with the characteristics of the Planter pathway. I have the corresponding potion. As long as you follow me, I'll give it to you. When the time comes, you can beat that parrot however you want!" Leyton enticed.
"Really? Not lying to me?" The rabbit's already large eyes widened even further.
"Your grudge against that parrot is quite deep!" Leyton was speechless. After saying so much, nothing was as effective as the promise of being able to beat the parrot.
"Of course it's true. We can add this condition to the contract," Leyton nodded.
"Okay!" The rabbit agreed very readily.
Leyton turned to look at Sia: "I've got it settled, Sister Sia."
"Wait a moment, I'll just add this clause in," Sia took out parchment and a quill she carried with her and began writing the contract clauses one by one in Ancient Hermes.
Soon, a parchment filled with Ancient Hermes script was completed. Sia handed the parchment and quill to Leyton.
"You can sign your names on it now. I will simulate the ability of a notary to notarize it for you," Sia said, casually brushing the red hair that had fallen on her face behind her ear.
Leyton nodded, took the parchment, put the rabbit he was holding on the ground, and asked, "Do you have a name?"
"Name? Grandpa Rabbit!" The rabbit raised its neck and said.
"Pa!"
Leyton slapped it: "Change it."
"Rabbit Grandpa!" The rabbit held its head in its hands.
"I'll give you one, you illiterate rabbit!" Leyton said speechlessly.
Looking at the rabbit in front of him, holding its head in its hands with a wronged expression, Leyton suddenly had a mischievous idea.
"I'll call you Bugs Bunny! I'll introduce you to some big shots later. They'll be shocked when they hear your name," Leyton was already imagining the scene of throwing this drama-queen rabbit in front of Roselle and Klein in the future.
"Are you sure your naming sense is better than this rabbit's?" Sia looked at Leyton with a face full of question marks.
"Isn't this name good?" Leyton's fist was placed in front of the rabbit.
The rabbit, who was shaking its head, was forced to nod: "Yes, yes, this name is very good. From today on, I will be called Bugs Bunny!"
Leyton nodded, this rabbit was very sensible. Then he picked up the quill and wrote his name "Leyton Soth" on the parchment.
"Here, can you write?" Leyton handed the quill and parchment to Bugs Bunny.
"I'm a rabbit!" Bugs Bunny's red eyes seemed to be glistening with tears.
"You can press a blood handprint," Sia reminded.
Bugs Bunny looked at Leyton, who was reaching out his devilish claws, in shock, wanting to escape. But before it could, it was already grabbed by Leyton.
"Help! Murdering a rabbit!" Bugs Bunny felt that this guy in front of him just wanted to eat roasted rabbit, and all the words he said before were to lower his guard.
Ignoring Bugs Bunny's shouting, Leyton took out a dagger and directly cut its paw, then pressed its paw on the parchment.
Sia's eyes bloomed with blue-white light, which then transformed into a bright golden color.
"Notarized, valid!"
The parchment contract suddenly ignited, and the burning ashes transformed into two patterns composed of an unfolded book and the Eye of Omniscience, which were reflected in Leyton and Bugs Bunny's eyes respectively.
Leyton clearly felt that something had been added to his body on the mystical level, and that there was also a trace of connection in the mystical sense between himself and Bugs Bunny.
Through the Eyes of Mystery Prying, Leyton could see a faint golden thread wrapped around the spiritual bodies of himself and Bugs Bunny. This thread represented the mystically significant connection between himself and Bugs Bunny constructed by the contract just now.
Bugs Bunny was still clutching its paw and wailing, while sticking out its tongue to lick the blood seeping from its paw.
Leyton originally wanted to put some healing potion on Bugs Bunny's paw, but when Leyton pried open its paw, he found that the wound on the rabbit's paw had already stopped bleeding and was beginning to heal.
"Your saliva also has the ability to heal wounds?" Leyton said in surprise.
"I don't know! No one has ever cut me before," Bugs Bunny shook its rabbit head.
"Let's test where the limit of its healing ability is?" Sia also saw this scene and said with great interest.
"No, no, it will kill the rabbit." Bugs Bunny hugged Leyton's calf, shrinking behind him, trying to block Sia's sight.
"This rabbit is too timid. Are you preparing to give it a potion?" Sia asked curiously.
"Yes, a mascot! But I need to get the potion formula first." Leyton nodded.
"If it's the Sequence 9 Planter, I know the formula, but what are you going to use to buy it?" Sia tossed her hair, striking a charming pose.
"Money?" Leyton asked tentatively.
"This lady doesn't lack money. You have to please me!" Sia's voice was captivating and alluring.
"Then, is knowledge okay? Some high-end, but useless knowledge." The pressure from Sia made Leyton take a step back before daring to speak.
"Knowledge? What high-end knowledge do you know that I don't?" Sia's curiosity was piqued by Leyton.
"If you know it, we'll renegotiate the deal!" Leyton said indifferently. Anyway, he had plenty of useless, high-end knowledge.
"Okay, what knowledge is it?" Sia asked curiously.
"Should we trade here?" Leyton glanced around.
The surroundings were sparsely populated, but not empty. Although it wouldn't matter to him if that knowledge spread, if he casually spread it, he would be blacklisted by all the orthodox Churches.
"Oh! It needs to be kept secret!" Sia teased.
Leyton felt a wave of spirituality. Then, he saw many faint, mysterious symbols appearing around him and Sia. These symbols only appeared for a moment before becoming transparent and disappearing into the void.
"Alright, you can speak now. This barrier can isolate most prying eyes, unless it's a Saint or a Sealed Artifact with corresponding abilities. Otherwise, it would be difficult to spy here without alerting me," Sia said casually.
"Amazing, does a Reader become so omnipotent after reaching Sequence 6!" Leyton said with some envy.
"Of course not. A Polymath is versatile because of their extensive knowledge. They can identify, see clearly, remember, and imitate abilities they have seen. The prerequisite is that you have enough knowledge and experience," Sia briefly explained the Polymath's abilities.
Sia sized up Leyton and asked, "What is that high-end, but useless knowledge of yours?"
"You definitely know the Acting Method, so do you know the Law of Beyonder Characteristics Convergence and the Law of Conservation?" Leyton asked.
"You even know the Acting Method, no wonder your digestion speed is so fast. Tsk tsk! Big boy, you have many secrets!" Sia's gaze towards Leyton changed slightly, but quickly returned to normal.
"Who doesn't have secrets! Hey! Sister Sia, do you need to know the Law of Similar Sequence Beyonder Characteristics Convergence or the Law of Beyonder Characteristics Conservation?" Leyton said with a flattering smile.
"I have some guesses about the Law of Convergence. Just the Law of Conservation, of course, if you're willing to say more about the Law of Convergence, you can," Sia said thoughtfully.
Leyton nodded, not surprised by this situation. After all, Sia was already Sequence 6, and a Reader pathway user, so she must have some guesses and understanding of this knowledge.
After organizing his thoughts a little, he said, "The Law of Beyonder characteristic Conservation refers to the conservation of Beyonder characteristics in similar pathways. The more high sequences there are, the fewer low sequences there will be, and vice versa."
"I see, no wonder there are so few demigods and above in the various Churches," Sia nodded thoughtfully.
"After all, the Churches have large organizations and many places that need Beyonders to guard," Leyton nodded in agreement.
There was another reason Leyton didn't say, which was that each pathway had a Sequence 0, and the characteristics possessed by each Sequence 0 must be extremely large. This could be seen from the pile of Beyonder characteristics left to the Abraham family after Mr. Door's fall.
"The Law of Beyonder Characteristics Convergence refers to the tendency of high-sequence items of the same pathway to intermittently and unconsciously attract Beyonders of low sequences to their vicinity, and to aggregate with each other. High sequences can detect this attraction. A similar Law of Convergence also exists in similar pathways."
Since he had already talked about the Law of Beyonder characteristic Conservation, Leyton simply told Sia about the Law of Convergence as well, since the other party had already made some guesses about it.
"I see, no wonder the frequency with which I encountered Vice Admiral Iceberg at sea was the highest. My guess was indeed correct," Sia nodded.
"I guess there's a third law, right?" Sia quickly regained her composure and said with certainty.
"Yes." Leyton nodded.
"Tell me together, otherwise I will feel very uncomfortable. I will tell you the potion formulas for the Sequence 8 Doctor and the Sequence 7 Harvest Priest together," Sia proposed a new deal.
Of course, Leyton gladly accepted this, anyway, this knowledge was all free to him.
"The Law of Beyonder characteristics Indestructibility: Beyonder characteristics will not be destroyed or reduced, but only transferred from one carrier to another," Leyton said the third law.
"That's why Beyonders form Sealed Artifacts or characteristics!" Sia murmured.
"Do you want me to say the potion formula or write it down for you?" Sia asked.
"Say it, it doesn't test our memory," Leyton said.
