Chapter 103 Counter-Espionage Scheme

Walter sat dejectedly on the floor and confessed all his secrets.

Just as Leo had predicted.

He was a spy sent by Sanchez Candlemoor.

His only task was to record everything that happened at the Swamp Manor, especially Leo's situation, in great detail, so that when a caravan came next time, someone would take his parchment scroll diary.

As for Walter's true identity, he was originally a clerk at Candle Manor. He had a sister named Walter who worked as a maid at Candle Castle.

However, Walmart stumbled upon a huge secret of Sanchez's.

"What secret?" Leo perked up, feeling he was about to catch Sanchez colluding with the Shadows.

But the secret Walter mentioned was completely different: "Master Sanchez—is impotent."

"Um?"

"My sister was so innocent and thought—she thought that by climbing into Mr. Sanchez's bed, she could—she could live a life of wealth and happiness forever. Who knew—who knew that Mr. Sanchez was impotent and could only use his hands."

Leo frowned, looking disgusted.

What on earth is all this?!

"so what?"

"My sister shouldn't have told her best friend about this. That maid is a big mouth, and now everyone in the castle knows about it," Walter said helplessly. "Lord Sanchez was furious and executed the noisy maid, and he also wants to execute my sister."

To save his sister Walter's life, Walter, a lowly clerk, stepped forward and offered to do whatever it took for Sanchez to repay the debt.

that's it.

Walmart remained in the castle, continuing to be Mr. Sanchez's finger lover.

Walter, on the other hand, was sent to the serf ranks of the Glowing Mushrooms and, through Mrs. Sandra's influence, was arranged to go to the Swamp Manor.

The purpose was to monitor all news from the Swamp Manor.

"Take him away and lock him up for now." Leo ordered his men to take Walter away and lock him in the castle's cellar.

He then secretly discussed with Franken: "We thought we could catch a big fish, but now it seems we've missed out."

"Air Force?" Franken didn't understand.

Leo casually explained, "He just can't catch anything, but he loves fishing and it's all about companionship—in short, even if he told my father about Walter, it didn't affect Sanchez."

It's just recording information.

If Mrs. Sandra then whispers in his ear again, there's a high chance that he'll just be punished with a few drinks and then the matter will be dropped.

Franken had an idea: "Leo, how about this—"

"How is it?"

"A counter-espionage plot!" Franken said, narrowing his eyes. "We've captured Walter, and now we can torture him at will. Why not let him continue as a spy, just alter the contents of the parchment scroll?"

Upon hearing this, Leo's eyes lit up: "Indeed, we can use this opportunity to mislead Sanchez!"

With Walter in hand, how the parchment scroll is written depends on how Leo wants to confuse Sanchez.

The information about the Countess and Vanessa must be deleted.

The content about the Knights Squad resisting the Little Demon Tide has also been deleted.

Delete all the content about Leo's own brilliance and prowess, and attribute all the credit to his subordinates.

This gave Sanchez the impression that Leo was still the same Leo, aloof but mediocre, and that his subordinates were just eager to make a name for themselves and diligently built the swamp estate, while Leo was at best a puppet.

"In that case, Sanchez will surely underestimate me," Leo smirked. "The next time he tries to harm me, he'll be careless!"

Carelessness led to the loss of Jingzhou.

In this way...

At the Glowing Fungus Castle, Lady Sandra has Alice as a spy; at the Abbey of Beatrice, Pastor Alice is temporarily overseeing things; and at the Candle Manor, Sanchez is having Walter pass on false information.

In other words, Leo could monitor every move the enemy made.

"Heh, Sanchez, don't be so hasty. Once I have enough evidence to completely and utterly destroy you, even if you're a Beast Knight, I'll strip you of your Beast Contract and personally send you to your death!"

Leo sat at his desk, with two potted sunflowers on either side of him illuminating both sides of his face.

His expression was calm.

In fact, considering his status as a time traveler, Sanchez not only had no grudge against him but also owed him a debt of gratitude; otherwise, he wouldn't have had the chance to time travel.

But revenge is an obsession left over from the previous life.

Leo felt that only by doing this could he achieve clarity of mind and fully realize his identity as Leo the Glowing Fungus, embarking on a grand and magnificent undertaking in the Eternal Night Continent.

Walter was put back.

To cover their tracks, Franken, along with John the Bearded, arrested several serfs, conducted a perfunctory interrogation, and finally announced that there was no thief, but rather that the Sunflower Fort had made a mistake.

The serfs, who had been tormented, dared not speak out in anger, and could only grumble in private, and that was how the matter was resolved.

Swamp Manor has returned to its usual rhythm.

In the hot summer, the roads dried quickly after the heavy rain. The fortress was rebuilt, and small pebbles were dug out to pave four roads in the fortress square. Carbon ash was also laid at the entrance of the fortress.

Looking at the completely renovated venue.

Leo was relieved that he no longer had to step on the mud, but he also felt a little regretful: "It's a pity that there are too few stones. The entire Firefly Wilderness is short of stones. Otherwise, it would be best to pave roads and build houses with stones."

With these pebbles, we can only lay the foundation for the fortified village.

"If only we could make bricks." He thought of bricks. There were many places in the swamp manor with soil that looked quite like clay, so it should be possible to make bricks.

There was simply no firewood.

Timber is very useful, and there are no coal mines nearby: "Let's dig for pebbles instead. When Vanessa arrives, I'll have Little Pippi look for waterways and places where pebbles might be found. More pebbles will allow us to pave more paths."

evening.

Oden and several other knights returned to the Swamp Manor, bringing good news.

The first piece of good news was that Oden's wedding was arranged. It would be held in Glowing Town a month later, with his father-in-law Brownie in charge of all the arrangements. Oden only needed to send someone to attend, and after the wedding, he could take his bride, Bronwyn, back to Swamp Manor to live.

The second piece of good news is that Oden has successfully mastered the technique of backlighting.

"Pastor Lamar was very enthusiastic and taught me for most of the night. He finally taught me the art of backlighting. Sir, I can go and transplant the pear tree seedlings now."

"Okay, let's go when Vanessa arrives." Only Vanessa knows the location of that place.

Vanessa arrived the next morning.

Vanessa immediately led the way on her phantom beast, while Leo and Oden rode their shadow steeds, and the three quickly headed towards the location of the pear tree. Because there was no road, the shadow steeds had difficulty traveling, and it took them a full four hours to reach their destination.

The pear tree was nearly eight meters tall when it was bare, but after Oden used his reverse light spell, it quickly shrank to a small tree less than two meters tall.

The pears on the tree have become tiny and adorable, like miniature soybeans.

"Sir, I'll carry the pear tree trunks back!" Oden decided to take on this dirty and tiring work.

However, since he was carrying the pear tree stalk, he couldn't ride the light and shadow warhorse.

It's not convenient to go back to find the carriage; there's no road, and the carriage can't get here at all.

"Leo, how about this?" Vanessa suggested, "Let Little Pippi and Big Black carry the pear tree trunks; they can manage it. I'll ride back with you."

Upon hearing this, Little Pipi immediately began to protest with loud squawking.

After a moment's thought, Leo nodded and smiled, "Alright, then I'll trouble Little Pipi and Big Black. I'll give them some extra food later; I have some Holy Light Honey, I guarantee they'll love it."
