Chapter 107 Foxtail Grass

August 3, 1026.

Butler Dirk arranged the convoy, but did not accompany Leo to the Glowing Fungus Castle, believing that a butler should guard the house.

So Ramos, in high spirits, led the team and set off again with Rio.

"Doris, double-check the young master's belongings. Make sure the water bottle and snacks are full."

"Thomas, keep a close eye on little Morris and little Tocarson. This trip to Glowing Fungus Castle is meant to broaden their horizons, so they can't wander around or talk nonsense and tarnish the reputation of Sunflower Castle," Ramos repeatedly instructed.

After giving instructions to the servants.

Ramos then went to the cargo wagon and inspected it carefully. Looking at Mrs. Nicole in the wagon, he said gently, "Relax. Don't be nervous when you get to the Fluorescent Mushroom Castle kitchen. Just focus on making tofu."

"Yes, Mr. Ramos," Mrs. Nicole nodded.

"Have you brought all the raw materials?"

"Um."

"That's good." Ramos encouraged gently, "Make good tofu, and we should also bring honor to our young master."

If this tofu could earn a single word of praise from the Baron.

So not only was Leo's gift acceptable, but the servants of Sunflower Castle also shared in the honor.

After a while.

Leo walked out of the gates of Sunflower Castle.

He instructed Butler Dirk, who had come to see him off at the door, "If Miss Vanessa comes, tell her I've gone to the Glowing Fungus Castle. If nothing unexpected happens, I should be back on August 6th or 7th."

"Don't worry, I will inform Miss Vanessa," Butler Dirk said with a smile.

The convoy set off, moving forward along the gravel road. The sunflowers lining both sides of the road truly provided illumination, much like streetlights.

However, once they stepped onto the dimly lit path outside the manor, it suddenly became dark.

So Leo had no choice but to activate the special effects of his luminous armor, and the dazzling light immediately illuminated the way ahead.

It provides much brighter illumination than a torch or a gas lamp.

"Young Master Leo is our guiding light, always showing us the way forward," the old knight Rhodes joked.

After the battle against the Little Demon Tide, his relationship with Leo improved considerably.

Although the trust is gone, the superficial relationship has returned to what it used to be, and they can still chat and laugh.

Leo laughed, "I not only want to be your guiding light, but I also want to be the guiding light for the entire Eternal Night Continent—Lord Rhodes, your words have reminded me, and I suddenly have an idea: I want to invent something!"

"Inventing things?" Rod asked in surprise. "The tofu you invented is really delicious. I can't live without it anymore."

"Tofu is just an appetizer. If my new invention succeeds, my name will be known throughout the Eternal Night Continent."

"Really?" Rod asked curiously. "Is it an invention like red bricks?"

"Red bricks have existed since ancient times, it's just that the wilderness where fireflies once lived was not suitable for making bricks, so it can't really be considered an invention."

Leo kept everyone in suspense.

He didn't tell Rod and the others what he was going to invent.

But he kept thinking about this invention all the way, pondering silently: "Candles, torches, and wind-blown lamps—the lighting tools of the Eternal Night Continent are still in a very primitive stage, relying more on light plants."

In other words, the technology development path has gone astray.

I was so focused on increasing the brightness of the light source that I neglected to provide adequate lighting for my tools.

"A flashlight, if I could invent a flashlight—electricity probably wouldn't work. I've already learned natural magic—lightning strikes, and I can clearly sense that the electricity on the Eternal Night Continent has extraordinary properties, making it difficult to control using Earth's physical rules."

But there was no electricity, and there was holy light.

Leo thought of the piece of adamantite locked in his safe; the light of adamantite was much brighter than that of meteorite iron.

If refined gold were crafted into a light bulb, wouldn't it be a natural flashlight? No electricity is needed; refined gold would naturally absorb free holy light elements from the outside air and then release them in the form of holy light.

This is a perpetual motion machine.

The perfect flashlight that requires no charging.

"But the raw materials for the adamantite flashlight are too expensive, so it can't be popularized. Forget it, inventing is really difficult. I'll just grow sunflowers instead. Once I've planted sunflowers all over the world, who will need flashlights?"

I pulled myself back to reality.

On the way to the glowing town, a warm guiding light came from my palm.

Leo used the excuse of needing to relieve himself to go for a walk by the roadside and found the source of the warmth he was following: a wild foxtail grass.

The voice seemed to be calling from the wild: "Freedom, only me and the Holy Light. Eat my seeds, and the elements of the Holy Light will chase you, embrace you, and eventually settle in your body, waiting to break free from your cocoon and become a butterfly."

"Um?"

Leo was taken aback.

The meaning of this flower is not difficult to understand. It means that the seeds of this foxtail grass can accelerate the effect of meditation on the element of holy light.

And importantly, it doesn't mention that it's infertile. Maybe its seeds can reproduce generation after generation and each generation will have the effect of accelerating the meditation of the Holy Light Element.

If that's true.

They made a fortune.

Leo immediately took matters into his own hands and used a dagger to dig out the entire foxtail grass, including the roots and the surrounding soil.

"Ramos, get me a pot, I want to plant this 'light plant'."

"Yes, young master."

The flowerpots were found quickly. Since there were many bald plants everywhere, the carriage usually kept a few flowerpots in case any remarkable bald plants were found on the road. Now they came in handy.

"Foxtail grass?" Old Knight Rhodes rode over, not quite understanding. "It's everywhere, and the light is very dim. Why transplant it?"

"I don't have this kind of weed on my swamp estate. I'll plant it back and spread it out so it can feed the cattle, sheep and horses in the future." Leo casually made up an excuse, not showing much importance to it, just taking it as a sudden thought that came to mind when he was interested.

Rhodes was no longer curious.

When passing through the town of Firefly, the convoy stopped briefly, and Harden, who was accompanying the convoy, went into a dye shop by the roadside.

Oden did not accompany them this time, but stayed in the manor to spread holy light spells. With his current level, he could cultivate a large number of light plants every day. Leaving for even a day would be a huge loss, so he could not rest easily.

So, he asked Harden to take a gift to Miss Bronwyn.

The couple's wedding date is set for the end of August.

Exchanging gifts now helps cultivate a relationship beforehand, preventing awkwardness and shyness when entering each other's homes on wedding day.

Although the Baron's birthday hasn't arrived yet.

But the Glowing Fungus Castle was bustling with activity. Unlike the simple birthday celebration for Grandmother Cecilia, the Baron's birthday this time was quite grand.

Many nobles will come in person to offer their congratulations.

Two baron guests have already checked into the Glowing Fungus Castle. They are neighbors of the Glowing Fungus family: Baron Drumstick and Baron Olive.

Leo quietly checked into the Glowing Fungus Castle, changed into a noble's suit, and went to pay his respects to the two barons.

"Uncle Ternas, Uncle Stephen—" Leo bowed.

His upright posture, handsome face, and impeccable aristocratic demeanor immediately caught the eye of the two barons and their wives.

But then things calmed down again.

The reason is simple: Leo is just the second son of the family.
