The Knight of Light plants the sun in the eternal night.

Chapter 119 I've Become a Taoist Priest

Back at the Swamp Manor, the newlywed Oden did not indulge in the joy of creating children, but continued to spend his days in the Spring Crystal Field, cultivating the Light Plant.

His newlywed wife, Bronwyn, stayed at their home in the fort.

She used several cartloads of valuables she brought from her parents' home to carefully decorate the two rooms and create a cozy little nest.

"How is it? This place is alright, not as bad as you imagined." Sophia, the wife of Knight Commander Pluto, came over to help, carrying their 3-year-old daughter, Bunny. "And there are sunflower plants, so the brightness is pretty good too."

Compared to the fluorescent town, the brightness of the fortress is definitely less, but not by much.

Sophia continued, "And if you feel it's not bright enough, you can apply to Young Master Leo to exchange your battle merits for sunflower seedlings to replant in the front and back of the yard, or even put a couple in your room."

"I've heard Oden mention sunflowers before, but I didn't expect them to be this beautiful," Bronwyn said, his face flushed.

I was clearly well-nourished last night.

She dusted off her hands and remarked, "The manor is definitely quieter than the town, but the houses in the fortress are much more spacious than I imagined. And I just took a walk around the fortress; it has all kinds of shops."

"With Young Master Leo around, the future of Swamp Manor is limitless," Sophia said with a smile.

"yes."

"Oh, did you know that the yard can be expanded?"

"Oh, Oden didn't tell me," Bronwyn shook his head.

Sophia explained, "It's a regulation issued by the administrative office that allows for the expansion of two more rooms in the fortified village's courtyard, provided that it's earned through battle merits or that the family exceeds six members. Your husband, Auden, is a Knight of Light and has accumulated many battle merits, which he can acquire at any time."

"Really?" Bronwyn nodded happily, but then shook his head. "I'd better not apply. These two rooms are big enough for Oden and me. There's no need to build two more."

"Haha, really? What if you have kids, one, two, three—and what if your parents want to come and stay for a few days?"

"Oh, I really hadn't thought about that." Bronwyn had been married once but didn't have any children yet. "Sister Sophia, your two children are so cute, I want two of them too."

"Two isn't enough. Pluto and I have already agreed that when Bunny is two years older, we'll have two more kids."

"Four?"

"Yes, young master Leo encourages everyone to have more children, the more children you have, the more rewards you get—of course, we're not after the rewards, we just really want that many children."

The two chatted for a while, and soon Franken's wife and Harrison's wife came to help.

The women were talking about things that made people blush.

While quickly helping Bronwyn decorate his new home.

In just half a day, Oden's two previously empty rooms were transformed into a warm and comfortable little nest.

noon.

Leo hosted the newlyweds, Oden and Bronwyn, at Sunflower Castle and presented them with four sunflower seedlings as a gift, which was equivalent to giving the Odens four lamps – a very practical gesture.

After lunch, a warm guide arrives.

This time, he pointed to the guest rooms on the third floor of the castle. Leo's lips curled up: "Sunflower Ancestor, or Hyacinth?"

Leo always kept the oldest wild sunflower in his guest room because it, along with the hyacinth, witnessed the time Leo spent with the Countess, and thus held a special significance.

Leo soon found out that it was the fifth time that the Sunflower Ancestor had triggered the flower language.

His voice was still as enthusiastic and full as ever: "I am the sun—the sun, I'm almost there, knight, keep up the good work—I have a strong feeling that good things are about to happen."

"Good persimmons and peanuts?" Leo stroked his chin. "When the sunflower patriarch said it was almost done, did he mean that the sunflower field was almost ready and would soon meet the standards? He was vague, but that's roughly the idea."

E

Even without the Sunflower Ancestor urging him, Leo never slacked off for a single day.

As long as he doesn't leave the house, he casts Holy Light four times a day without fail to check and fix any deficiencies in the sunflowers.

Oden, along with a group of trainee priests, focused on cultivating sunflower seedlings.

It can be said.

The territory's support for sunflower seedlings has been maximized.

Sure enough, by the afternoon of the next day, the sun's mark was not delayed at all, and the flower language was triggered as soon as it was fully charged.

This time, the warm guidance pointed to a sunflower plant at the entrance of the fortified village.

After Leo touched it, he heard a bright, almost manic voice: "It's done, it's done, it's done! I've done it! Tonight at midnight, I will break through the sky and guide a phantom beast to descend!"

hiss!

Leo gasped, then was overwhelmed with surprise, muttering to himself, "So that's how it is! I get it now!"

The field of sunflower light has been completed.

With the blessing of the sun's mark, just as the field became light, a phantom beast descended.

However, it wasn't the Sunflower Ancestor who was responsible for guiding the phantom beasts to become phantom beast light plants; rather, it was this sunflower light plant at the entrance of the fortress that received this opportunity.

Of course, we are all sunflowers, without distinction between us.

Leo climbed the stairs next to the main gate directly to the top of the fortress. Standing high up, he felt the hot wind and finally managed to calm down his excited and chaotic thoughts, allowing him to think calmly about the upcoming phantom beast.

"I am only a Tier 1 Knight — I am still far from being a Tier 2 Grand Knight."

Vanessa gave Leo a detailed introduction to each stage of the knight's training.

First-tier knights are divided into four stages: thin battle aura, warm battle aura, surging battle aura, and dense battle aura.

The second-tier Grand Knight is also divided into four stages: Battle Aura Shield, Battle Aura Counterattack, Battle Aura Armor, and Battle Aura Unity.

In theory, the foundation for a beast contract is simply a 2nd-tier Grand Knight whose battle aura has evolved into battle spirit. However, Grand Knights with both battle spirit and battle spirit are more likely to be favored by beasts, and forming a contract will not be hindered.

If it were a great knight with a shield formed from battle aura, the phantom beast would most likely resist, causing the contract to fail.

Leo has no chance.

The mythical beast couldn't just stay put and wait for Leo to break through to the second-tier Grand Knight level before forming a contract.

"The territory has only three Grand Knights: Rod, Pluto, and Harrison, all of whom are Grand Knights who have achieved perfection in the integration of battle aura."

Rhodes was the first to be ruled out, as he was the Baron's man.

The remaining two choices are Pluto and Harrison.

Harrison was older, while Pluto was younger. Harrison's status was essentially determined by the Baron, while Pluto had already pledged allegiance to Leo. Therefore, Leo didn't need to make any judgments and simply chose Pluto to contract the phantom beast.

After careful consideration.

Leo had someone summon Pluto.

"My lord!" Pluto climbed onto the roof of the fortress, stood above the gate, and bowed to Leo.

"We should have someone build a loft here. It would decorate the gate of the fortress, and it would also be nice to sit here and enjoy the view from time to time," Leo said casually.

Pluto, not understanding, simply nodded in agreement: "What you say is true, sir."

As if struck by a thought, Leo calmly said, "Lord Pluto, if I were to assassinate Sanchez Candlemoss and need your help, would you follow me?"

Pluto answered without hesitation: "Yes!"

"So decisive?"

“As a follower, my job is to carry out the decisions made by the adults,” Pluto replied.

"Aren't you going to try to persuade me?" Leo laughed.

Pluto shook his head and said matter-of-factly, "I am older than you, sir, but I do not believe my wisdom surpasses yours. So since you have decided, Pluto will abide by it—besides, Pluto also wants to wash away the shame upon him!"
