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

Chapter 126 The Journey by Moonlight

Although the days of the Knights' large-scale training were tough and tiring, Leo quite liked the atmosphere of having many people.

His cultivation of Holy Light Battle Qi was also slowly but steadily improving.

He has officially entered the stage of dense battle qi, which is the perfect stage of a first-level knight. His holy light battle qi is becoming increasingly viscous, and he may break through to holy light battle qi at any time, thus advancing to a second-level great knight. However, this breakthrough opportunity is hard to grasp.

Maybe we'll break through tomorrow, or maybe it will be three years from now.

The cultivation of extraordinary power is never a smooth or orderly process, hence everyone eagerly anticipates the blessing of the Holy Light.

There's no need to expect anything from Leo.

because.

He has cheat codes.

He was absolutely certain that the sun's mark would always lend him a helping hand at the right time, in the form of flower language.

However, these happy times will have to be said goodbye for a while.

"Neander, Lisa, and Leo, you three siblings, travel light and simply to Moonlight Lake." The Baron summoned the children in his study. "I have prepared the gifts for Earl Evening Primrose."

Butler Vincent arrived with a group of men carrying three gifts.

Neander's gift was a silk robe, a noble robe woven from the silk spun by silkworms on mulberry trees. It was gorgeous and precious, not to mention priceless, it was hard to come by and very suitable as a gift.

"Neander, you are the heir to the family. Your and Olive's gifts represent the Glowing Fungus family's attitude towards Earl Evening Primrose."

The Baron explained why the gifts arranged for the Neanders were so valuable.

The gifts arranged by Lisa and her husband, as well as Leo, were a beautifully cultivated and brightly glowing evening primrose plant and a glass jar of fluorescent mushroom sauce. They weren't cheap, but they weren't expensive either.

"Lisa, you're a girl, so flowers are the most suitable gift for you," the Baron said, glancing at the honest and unassuming Phoenix. "For formal occasions, Phoenix, you should be present. Don't let Lisa be present; it would be impolite."

"Father!" Lisa protested.

The baron glared at her and said, "What?"

Lisa remained silent, and Phoenix then replied, "Yes, Father-in-law."

The baron then looked at Leo and smiled with satisfaction: "You're the best-looking one. Neant will handle the socializing, so you just focus on pleasing your grandfather—don't worry, your grandfather dotes on your mother the most, and he loved you the most when you were little."

Upon hearing this, Leo nodded slightly.

Neander and Lisa both pouted; they hadn't inherited any of their mother Mrs. Heisel's beauty.

Everything is arranged properly.

The white night has just begun.

Knight Commander Louis, Knight Commander Pluto, and a squad of knights consisting of second-tier Grand Knights were already waiting at the castle gate.

The servants brought various items needed for the journey and entrusted them to the knights to carry.

Leo also received a small jade box from the deputy butler Ramos. Inside was the oak tree spirit insect Mokael. During the time Leo lived in the Glowing Mushroom, he still held Mokael and meditated every night.

The three siblings, a small group of five, mounted their horses without servants and set off, surrounded by a small cavalry.

The Count of Evening Primrose's territory is over a thousand kilometers away, a long distance, making it unsuitable for a large convoy.

The rugged roads alone could wear down the carriage.

Moreover, there are always shadowy monsters attacking at any time.

Therefore, nobles would ride bicycles when traveling long distances, and rarely take carriages, unless the journey was only one or two days long.

Fortunately, all five of them, including Lisa and Olive, were Tier 1 riders and were not afraid of long-distance riding.

Two phantom beast knights guard the group, resembling two large light bulbs that also provide illumination. Leo, Neander, Olive, and Lisa all wear luminous armor, which also provides light.

Leo wasn't surprised that his older brother and sister-in-law wore shiny armor.

After all, they are the heirs of the family; all the good things will belong to them in the future.

But Lisa also had a set of shimmering armor, which Leo somewhat objected to. He had only kept a small amount of the meteorite iron he had donated to arm the knights and had even lavishly made a set of shimmering armor for himself. He never expected that his sister would also receive a set.

It is evident that the Baron's affection for Lisa was no less than that for Leo, and perhaps even far exceeded that for Leo.

On the road.

Leo deliberately slowed down, riding alongside his brother-in-law Phoenix, and whispered, "Brother-in-law, you don't have any glowing armor?"

Phoenix forced a smile: "I haven't accomplished anything, so I don't deserve to wear shiny armor."

"What about your older sister?"

"Your sister has a distinguished status—"

"We're family," Leo said without room for argument. "When we get back, I'll explain to my father and get you a Bright Knight outfit too."

"No need, Leo." Phoenix quickly waved his hand, somewhat flustered by Leo's kindness. "Thank you, but really, it's not necessary. My talent is mediocre, and I'd feel uncomfortable wearing the shiny armor—"

Leo interrupted him immediately, saying, "Listen to me, brother-in-law. We're about to go to the battlefield. A set of shiny armor can be a lifesaver in a critical moment."

"Leo—" Phoenix's voice suddenly choked up.

After a long pause, he continued, "Really, thank you so much for treating me like a brother-in-law. You must come to my Lantern Manor for drinks sometime!"

"Okay." Leo smiled.

At this moment, Lisa slowed down, frowned at the two of them, and said, "What are you two whispering about in the back?"

"Women shouldn't interrupt when my brother-in-law and I are talking." Leo raised an eyebrow.

Lisa was instantly enraged: "Are you looking for death?!"

Leo casually drew his gleaming longsword and unleashed a sharp slash through the air: "Sister, are you sure you can still beat me now?"

"Well, you've certainly improved, Leo!" Lisa gasped, "You've only been away for less than six months, and you've already become quite capable!"

.

She turned her head and shouted ahead, "Neander, Leo bullied me!"

Leo's face darkened.

Neander, however, was quick to respond and rode down to the back of the group, frowning as he looked at Leo: "You bullied your sister?"

"Just a friendly exchange."

"How about we have a spar?" Neant threatened, relying on his status as a second-tier Grand Knight.

Leo sheathed his gleaming longsword, yawned, and said, "Let's get going."

Neant glared at Leo and said, "You can cause trouble on the way, but once we get to Moonlight Castle, you and Lisa better behave yourselves. If you displease Grandpa and ruin the family's important affairs, I won't let you off the hook!"

"Got it." Leo waved his hand.

Lisa said indignantly, "If he doesn't bother me, I won't bother with him!"

By evening, the knight squad had left the Firefly Wilderness and arrived in the wilderness of the No Man's Land.

No, it's not unclaimed land.

All the ungranted land in the country belongs to the royal family. However, the land is vast and sparsely populated. Humans live in habitats filled with luminous plants, while the dark wilderness is a playground for shadow monsters. There are only a few main roads, which the royal family is responsible for maintaining every year.

The knight squad chose to set up camp at a "Light Tree Station" by the roadside.

The so-called "Guangzhu Station" is a place where several white rose bushes have been specially planted along the roadside, forming an open space of over a hundred square meters.

Theoretically, the holy light emitted by the Light Plant can drive away the Shadow Monsters, but it's not a sure thing, because there's too little holy light here, so little that it's not enough to make the Shadow Monsters retreat, and they even dare to cross the boundary.

We just set up camp.

A familiar warmth emanated from Leo's palm, pointing to a white rose bush beside him.

After being touched, the flower's meaning blossoms: "Monsters rustle in the darkness; they attack when you're sound asleep. Knight, stay alert, and don't sleep too soundly!"
