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

Chapter 143 Shake hands, good friends

In the wilderness, a faint light flickers.

That was Little Pipi, the duckweed otter, perched on the big black head of the dog-crocodile, rolling its eyes in boredom. Ever since it had followed Vanessa as its master, it felt that its fate was quite tragic, and its dignity as a mythical beast had been severely trampled on.

Normally, mythical beasts only recognize the contracted knight and can only be ridden by the contracted knight's partner.

however.

For Vanessa, however, it became a tool for her to "catch up" with her, as she would take a Tier 1 knight with her every day.

"Chirp!"

The more it thought about it, the angrier it became, and it let out a cry of anger.

The big black crocodile rolled its eyes upwards, glanced at Little Pipi, and then closed its eyes to rest, not wanting to move at all.

the other side.

The two, already panting heavily, took a while to calm down and began to whisper to each other.

Leo mainly talked about his trip to Moonlight Castle and his entrepreneurial plans.

"Leo, don't worry, although my family isn't wealthy, I will definitely give you my full support in starting your business!" Vanessa immediately declared. "Whatever Floating Manor has, I can support you as long as you need it."

"Thank you, Vanessa." Leo didn't say no.

He already considers Vanessa his woman, so naturally he won't be polite; resources should be concentrated to maximize their effectiveness.

After a while.

He suddenly remembered: "Oh right, Vanessa."

"What's wrong?"

"When I ascended to the rank of Priest, I comprehended a peculiar secret technique under the illumination of the Holy Light."

"A secret technique?"

"Hmm, it's similar to a knight's secret technique. The secret technique is a specially structured holy word spell. The secret technique I comprehended is called Heart-to-Heart Connection." Leo powered the solar mark's flower disc with a teleportation device, covering it with a layer of skin.

At that moment, he packaged the Flower Plate Flying Message as a secret technique—Heart to Heart—and explained it to Vanessa in detail.

"Such a miraculous secret technique!" Vanessa exclaimed.

Floating Manor did not pass down any secret techniques, but Leo had already taught her the secret technique—Heart of Steel—giving her a deeper understanding of the power of secret techniques and magic.

"Now let's try it," Leo said. "Extend your hand, let's shake hands. You need to open your heart and not have any resistance. I will use a secret technique—heart-to-heart imprint—to mark you."

"Okay." Vanessa was overjoyed, feeling that this was a token of love, and it was full of a sense of ritual.

The two hands are clasped together.

Leo quickly activated the sun mark on his left palm and began the branding ritual, which was to brand a clone of the sun mark onto Vanessa's left palm.

A warm current spread through their palms.

The duration was very short.

But Leo knew the branding ceremony had succeeded, and he said with a smile, "Vanessa, look at your palm."

There was nothing on his fair palm.

As Vanessa gazed at it, a faintly glowing sun mark soon appeared, resembling a sunflower with twenty-four petals, just like the one in Leo's palm, only much dimmer.

"Leo, is this the secret technique—the mark of mutual attraction?" Vanessa exclaimed in amazement. "It's truly amazing."

She looked at Leo's palm: "And yours?"

Leo activated the Sun Mark, and the Sun Mark on his palm became much brighter, more refined, and delicate.

just.

Vanessa, however, couldn't see it: "No?"

"This—I'm probably the only one who can see it." Leo breathed a sigh of relief.

He didn't want Vanessa to see it, after all, the Countess's name was engraved on the petals of his sun mark.

He then explained, "Perhaps because I am the caster, I can see both my and your marks, but you are the passive recipient, so you can only see your own mark, after all, you are not a priest."

"Mmm." Vanessa smiled sweetly. "It's alright, Leo, I'm really happy to have this Heart Link!"

She kissed Leo gently: "This is the best reward the Holy Light could give me."

"Come on, Vanessa, let's try the secret technique—Heart to Heart. I'll go first." He tried to connect with Vanessa Floating's name on the petal with his mind, then his face darkened. "Sorry, I haven't accumulated enough energy yet."

Sending a message via a flower disc requires wasting a full amount of energy, which is equivalent to using the opportunity to trigger the flower's meaning for a spiritual message.

He could only look at Vanessa: "Try it, send me a message."

"Mm." Vanessa nodded with a smile, then turned her back. "Leo, you turn your back too, and see if you can really receive it."

"it is good."

The two stood back to back.

Vanessa followed Leo's instructions and called out to him in her mind. Soon, Leo's portrait appeared on the sun mark clone on her palm, with a nonchalant smile on his lips.

next moment.

Suddenly, Vanessa's voice echoed in Leo's mind, a "hearing" sensation similar to the language of flowers.

It works directly on the spiritual level: "Leo, in the days you've been gone, I've thought about you every day and longed to see you every day—now, with the secret method—Heart to Heart, I can really see you every day."

"I heard you," Leo said softly, his back to Vanessa. "I think about you every day too."

"Wow, it really works!" Vanessa exclaimed. "It's amazing, holy light! — Wait, Leo, why is the Heart-to-Heart connection dimming? Thank goodness, your image is still visible."

Leo turned around, put his arm around Vanessa's waist, and said, "These petals of the mark are a charging indicator. When all the petals light up, it means the charging is complete, and then you can send me another message."

In fact, Leo thinks this feature is somewhat of a gimmick.

A charging time of about a month is simply too long.

Although he could send one message a day, it would waste his chances of sending flower messages. Besides, he might need to send messages to many different people in the future: "The secret method—Heart to Heart—allows him to send a message about once a month."

"Then we must cherish it, Leo."

"certainly."

"Don't message me anymore. If you end up on the battlefield, then message me to let me know you're safe."

"it is good."

Vanessa didn't stay for lunch; she had promised her father she would come back for lunch, so she left early.

Leo spent the afternoon in the Spring Crystal Field.

Firstly, I cast several holy light spells on the sunflowers, and the sense of accomplishment was unparalleled as I watched many sunflower heads light up.

Secondly, it was also to introduce Lucio to Oden.

Both were Knights of Light. Lucio was a great mentor. In addition to running the Holy Light Abode, he also worked at the Spring Crystal Field on a daily basis, cultivating light plants with Oden and planting sunflower light plants in every corner of the manor.

-

The fact that three Knights of Light were gathered in this small swamp manor is quite extravagant.

As evening approached, the solar mark completed its charging and immediately triggered the flower language.

It was a sunflower whose flower head had just been lit, its voice quite powerful: "I came, I saw, I conquered, I am the sun!"

It sounds impressive, but it's completely useless.

Leo rolled his eyes: "I should have saved my energy and tried using Flower Plate Message to send Vanessa a voice message!"
