Chapter 113 Secret Treasure - Amber

After seeing the guests off, Leo also planned to go home. While it was great to freeload at the Glowing Mushroom Castle, home was still the best place.

Sunflower Castle is his true home.

"So eager to go back?" The Baron frowned, but did not try to stop him. "After you get back, the training of the knight squad must not be neglected. Also, if war breaks out, you will need to lead your squad to join the Knights Order."

"Are the Knights training together?"

"Yes."

"Father, my territory needs at least three knights to stay and guard it, so my knight squad will be short-handed. I hope you can allocate three more Tier 1 knights to me."

"Okay, go find your older brother Neanderthal."

Neant didn't make things difficult for Leo, who was only a first-tier knight. Instead, he assigned three knights who were not yet assigned to any positions: Marcus, Dean, and Cruz. They were all in their thirties, in their prime, but had little potential for advancement.

Neant wouldn't assign promising young knights to Leo; he didn't want another Light Knight like Oden to emerge from Leo's ranks.

"Your father has already given instructions regarding the red bricks and peat. There's no need for the red bricks; the family has its own quarry, so there's no need for handmade clay bricks. But the peat business is fine. The family will buy as much peat as you dig out."

"Okay, but the acquisition price can't be low. Have the affairs officer discuss the details with Franken later."

"Also—" Neant paused for a moment, "We'll leave later. Lisa said last night that she wanted to go and pay respects to her mother."

Leo nodded: "Okay."

At 11:00 a.m., after seeing off all the departing guests, the three siblings left the Glowing Mushroom Castle together with the offerings.

Lisa was also a knight, so the three of them rode the Warhorse of Light and Shadow, galloping for half an hour, until they arrived at a dilapidated manor. Scattered lights emitted a dim glow, outlining the former liveliness of the manor.

It is now abandoned and has become a graveyard for fireflies in the wilderness.

There were many graves, but one cemetery, planted with several bright and shiny large trees, was the grave of Mrs. Heather, the mother of the three siblings, with a large patch of evening primroses growing on the grave mound.

"My mother has been gone for more than ten years —" Neant sighed.

Lisa knelt down and carefully stroked the tombstone, sobbing softly. Neander quickly patted her shoulder.

Leo didn't show much emotion about the scene.

But she still stepped forward and comforted us, saying, "When Mother sees that the three of us siblings have all grown up, she will surely transform into holy light to protect us."

"I remember, my mother left when I was seven, and my father remarried when I was nine. I ran here and cried my eyes out," Lisa said, sobbing. "Leo, you were only six then, and I carried you here."

Leo: "————"

After reminiscing about the past, Neant said, "Let's go back. We have a banquet to prepare for at noon."

Neander and Lisa mounted their horses.

Leo stood still: "Big brother, sister, you go first. I need to say something to Mother, and I'll be there in a bit."

"Hurry up, don't waste time." Nian nodded.

Once the two were out of sight, Leo walked straight to a large, bare pine tree beside the grave.

Just now, the warm guidance pointed to this big tree.

Leo was only a few steps away, so he didn't want to appear too abrupt and waited until now.

Reaching out to touch it, the sound of pine needles rustling through the air rang out—a gentle, elderly female voice: "I have witnessed a mother's love for her child, and I have also witnessed a child's devotion to his mother. My wanderer, let me give you a secret treasure—amber."

pat.

Something fell from a bird's nest on a bare pine branch and landed next to Leo.

Leo was startled, but quickly bent down and picked up the fallen object, which was a fist-sized, orange-yellow stone.

"It's not a stone, it's—amber!" Leo recognized the stone's texture. "This is the secret treasure that Pine Tree Light Plant gave me—amber stone? That's right, I think I've heard of amber stone before. Ah, so this is the secret treasure!"

Leo was overjoyed.

Secret treasures are extremely rare and priceless treasures, usually formed naturally and possessing magical and extraordinary power.

This treasure—amber stone—is a naturally formed piece of amber that, under the long-term influence of holy light, has grown into a treasure with extraordinary magical power.

Its function is to seal the light plant inside.

"It is said that in Count Chamei's castle, there is an amber stone that, when used with a priest's backlight spell, can seal the Great Tree of Light inside and then take it out, thus enabling the remote transport of the Great Tree of Light."

In other words.

With this amber stone, large, bare trees like pear trees can be sealed up and put into a pocket to take home.

Instead of having to carry it back with great effort.

"It's a pity I don't know the Reverse Light spell—" Otherwise, Leo would have wanted to try and see if he could seal the pine tree in front of him.

He bowed to the pine tree in thanks, then accepted the treasure—the amber stone—mounted his horse, and chased after Neander and Lisa.

Take along three knights, as well as their families.

After lunch, Leo's caravan headed toward the Swamp Manor, with Leo, riding on horseback like a third wheel, in high spirits.

This trip to the Fluorescent Mushroom Castle was very rewarding.

A foxtail grass that can speed up meditation, a secret technique suitable for a knight's lance—the Poison Dragon Drill, and a priceless treasure—the Amber Stone—each of these are valuable items that money can't necessarily buy.

It must be said that you can't just fleece one sheep at a time.

Staying cooped up in the swamp manor won't yield any good results anymore. It's time to get out and explore more; the world is vast, and opportunities abound.

It was evening.

Arrive at the Swamp Manor.

Leo immediately removed Rod, Oden, and Camille from the Swamp Manor Knights squad, and added Marcus, Dean, and Cruz to the squad, appointing Knight Pluto as the squad leader.

"From now on, when the Knights go out to fight, Rhodes, Oden, and Camille, the three of you will stay behind at the manor."

Rhodes had no objection to this.

Oden knew what was important; he stayed on the estate to cultivate the light plants rather than go hunting.

But Camille was somewhat reluctant. This silly girl, who looked a bit dim-witted, had a unique love for fighting.

"Don't worry, I'll take you with me every time we go hunting," Leo reassured Camille's warlike spirit.

Rest for a night.

The next day, the new full-strength knight squad began formal training.

Instead of targeting monsters, they train real knight charges against hypothetical enemy knight squads.

This time, Leo trained very hard.

He understood a principle: the more you sweat in peacetime, the less you bleed on the battlefield. He didn't want to die before achieving his goal, leaving heroes to weep with sorrow.

"charge!"

"Change formation!"

"Disperse, then regroup!"

Pluto's instructions were relayed one by one.

The knight squad charged continuously through the wilderness, practicing different formations so that each knight was familiar with his position in the formation, ensuring that he would not panic when changing formations or fighting.

Leo is the core of this team.

In each assault formation, he was protected in the center to ensure that he would not become the first target of concentrated fire in close combat.

Leo accepted this arrangement with a clear conscience. It was not only his will, but also the will of all the knights. In the White Rose Kingdom and even throughout the entire Eternal Night Continent, if the lord died in battle, all the knights would fight to the death.

Therefore, only if Leo lives can the knights live.
