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

Chapter 137 Secret Technique - Crescent Moon Slash

early morning.

Leo looked at his palm; the sun mark had been fully charged, but it hadn't triggered the flower language further.

This puzzled him: "There are so many light plants in Moonlight Castle, yet not a single one of them has spoken. It's truly astonishing."

Regarding the triggering conditions for the meaning of flowers.

Leo still couldn't figure it out; there was no definite pattern, so he could only shake his head and stop worrying about it.

Breakfast is a buffet with a wide variety of dishes. Not to mention ordinary food, there are more than a dozen kinds of staple foods.

Leo didn't stand on ceremony and only ate the bare stalks of food.

In any case, his favorite food has always been Chinese food; everything else is just food to fill his stomach. Since he doesn't care about the taste, he can only care about nutrition and eat his fill.

They ate and drank their fill.

A middle-aged butler approached and said, "Young Master Leo, the master is at the training ground. Please come over after you have finished your meal."

"Okay." Leo nodded politely.

I can't remember the other person's name.

Moonlight Castle has over a thousand servants, including more than a dozen butlers, such as head butler, warehouse butler, deputy butler, female butler, travel butler, butler assistant—the positions are too numerous to count, and it would take at least ten days to half a month to sort them out.

This magnificent castle, with its ten stories, could easily be mistaken for a royal palace.

Leo changed into a knight's tunic suitable for martial arts training, put on his gleaming longsword, and went to the training ground.

From afar, we could see Earl Hayden drawing his bow and shooting an arrow.

Moreover, on his shoulder stood a small eagle, its body shimmering, with a cluster of small yellow flowers on its head—the blooming flowers of evening primrose. This was undoubtedly a mythical beast.

Leo knew that this was the old count's mythical beast, the Moon-Viewing Eagle.

Even more amazingly, on Count Hayden's other shoulder, there was a tiny creature the size of a palm with transparent wings, which was also glowing. This was a magical creature evolved from a flower fairy or an elf insect.

Count Hayden is exceptionally talented and is currently a Tier 3 Beast Knight and a Tier 2 Bishop, meaning he is also a Tier 2 Light Knight.

"Grandpa." Leo rushed over.

"Leo is here." Count Hayden lowered his bow and said gently, "You were promoted to Knight of Light on your journey, so you probably haven't had time to learn Holy Word yet?"

"Yes, I borrowed a book called 'The Art of Holy Word' these past two days and am currently studying the art of backlighting."

"Yes, Reverse Light is a priest's most commonly used life skill." Earl Hayden didn't waste any words. "These common Holy Word spells can be learned directly from books. I called you here to teach you the secret techniques passed down by the Evening Primrose family."

"A secret technique?"

"Knights have secret techniques, and priests naturally have secret arts. Moreover, you are a Knight of Light, and in the future you will be able to combine secret techniques and secret arts into a profound mystery—first, be down-to-earth and learn the secret arts I will teach you."

Count Hayden said, taking a glowing magic staff from his servant: "This secret technique is called Crescent Slash."

He waved his magic wand lightly.

There was no chanting; the flower fairy on his shoulder yawned, and a crescent-shaped beam of light slashed out from in front of him.

It sweeps horizontally forward along the waistline.

Wherever it passed, all the targets snapped in two, the cuts smooth and clean. Whether it was metal or tough leather, it cut through them as easily as cutting tofu, without encountering any resistance.

It slashed a full twenty meters before the crescent moon's light dissipated.

"So strong!" Leo exclaimed.

This is far superior to his secret technique—Sharp Light Slash. Sharp Light Slash is extremely powerful when it hits the first target.

But if there is a second goal, it will be impossible to maintain.

The secret technique—Crescent Slash—ignores the number of targets, sweeping through everything in its path with unbelievable power.

Of course, Leo was well aware of the difference between Sharp Light Slash and Crescent Moon Slash. The priest's Holy Light spells were always more powerful than the knight's Holy Light Aura, but their casting animation was too long, making them unsuitable for the ever-changing nature of combat.

However, the second-tier bishop used the Flower Fairy to directly cancel the pre-cast animation.

As a result, their combat power skyrockets, becoming comparable to that of a Tier 3 Phantom Beast Knight, and they can also remain eternally youthful.

Therefore, the status of a Tier 3 Phantom Knight and a Tier 2 Bishop is equal.

"Impressive, isn't it? Learning it is my only requirement for you. I will let you go back when you have mastered it." Count Hayden smiled. He could tell that Leo was also eager to leave, so he offered him incentives.

This way, Leo can stay a few more days, and the grandparents and grandchildren can spend more time together.

Leo suppressed his greed and said, "Grandpa, I do long to learn the secret technique—Crescent Moon Slash, but—this is the inherited technique of the Evening Primrose family. Although I have your blood in my veins, I am, after all, surnamed Firefly Mushroom."

"You are very good." Earl Hayden was increasingly satisfied. "But I am the head of the family, and I can pass it on to whomever I want—I would also like to pass it on to your brother and sister, but can they learn it?"

Neander and Lisa don't even have the talent of a priest, so naturally they can't learn it.

Even if it exists.

Even Earl Hayden might not be willing to teach it.

After all, besides the secret methods passed down in the Evening Primrose family, there are also secret techniques passed down in the family, but he didn't seem to pass them on to Neant or Lisa.

Secret techniques and methods, these trump cards passed down by great noble families, should not be passed on lightly. If Leo had not been so outstanding and Earl Hayden had not been so satisfied, he certainly would not have passed them on to someone outside the family, lest he incur the resentment of his son and several wives.

"In that case, Grandpa, I'll learn!"

"Good, it's good that you're willing to learn," Earl Hayden laughed. "The secret technique—Crescent Slash—isn't difficult. With my personal instruction, I guarantee you'll learn it in half a month, no, ten days!"

present.

Count Hayden dissected the secret technique—Crescent Slash—from beginning to end, giving Leo a rough overview in a cramming-style manner.

Make the first impressions, and then come back later to understand them slowly, little by little.

Before he knew it, the morning had passed. Leo had barely managed to remember a portion of it; he wasn't some kind of genius with a photographic memory.

This made Earl Hayden realize that his young grandson was not perfect in every way and had some weaknesses.

"It seems that I won't be able to learn it in ten days, at least half a month—but that's fine, at least I can keep it by my side for a few more days." Earl Hayden comforted himself in this way. He couldn't force his juniors to be as good as him.

So he said gently, "Go back and have your meal first, we'll continue this afternoon."

"Yes, Grandpa." Leo could also sense that he probably couldn't keep up the "genius" persona any longer.

Fortunately, he mainly cultivates an image of "honesty".

If the genius persona is shattered, so be it.

As the grandfather and grandson walked back, passing a large, bare tree, Leo suddenly felt a warm guiding light that locked onto the tree.

"Grandpa, what kind of tree is this?" Leo asked, pretending to ask, but actually touching it.

In an instant, a mocking voice echoed in his mind: "That old man always looks down on everyone, thinking no one is as good as him. It's just a secret technique—Crescent Slash. Watch how I help you intimidate him!"

"This is a rain tree, also called a rain bean tree, which is suited to hot climates," Earl Hayden said. "It's still young, and the local climate isn't suitable for it. It needs holy light spells to keep it alive every day, otherwise it will never grow big."

He's finished speaking.

But then they saw Leo leaning against the tree trunk, his eyes unfocused, as if he were lost in thought.

Count Hayden stopped and waited silently, wanting to see what was wrong with Leo.

I even felt a little regretful, thinking that no one is perfect. Some people seem wonderful at first glance, perfect in every way, but after spending more time with them, you realize that they are actually...

Just then, Leo suddenly exclaimed, "Grandpa, I've figured it out! I understand the secret technique—Crescent Slash!"
