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

Chapter 150 The Ferocious Bone That Pierced the Sky

It's a very strange feeling.

As Leo, along with the Glowing Mushroom Knights, drew closer to Hill City, he experienced the sky gradually changing from darkness to dusk, then to twilight, and finally to daylight.

This is an indescribable gradual change.

He looked up at the sky, which was covered by thick clouds, so he couldn't see where the light was coming from.

The shadows on the ground are also diffuse reflections, without any outlined shadows. That is to say, the light may not be coming from overhead, but from all directions, and there is really no fixed light source.

"So, does the sun really not exist?"

"And not just obscured?"

Leo couldn't understand it. Scholars on the Eternal Night Continent had studied it for thousands of years, yet they still couldn't explain it clearly. Even the dragon knights, who stood at the pinnacle of extraordinary power, couldn't fly out of the clouds above the City of Never Sleeps.

This is a misty world locked inside a box.

"What is that?" a knight suddenly exclaimed.

They pointed to the city wall, which was faintly visible in the distance, and a towering tower on the wall. The tower was estimated to be a hundred meters high, but that was not important. What was important was that a blue-purple lightning chain seemed to be wrapped around the tower.

Leo immediately noticed that the blue-purple lightning chains were very similar to the two small soul whips he had collected.

They all shimmered with a blue-purple light.

"It's the Tower of Bone Demons," the Baron said, answering the knights' questions. "The bones left behind by the Void Beast are the Bone Demons. By using the Bone Demons, we can pierce the dark sky and let the light shine on the earth again."

The baron continued with a sigh, "Hill City has a total of four Bone Towers, each sealing a piece of the ferocious bone of a Void Beast, just enough to keep the city lit up at night."

Amidst gasps of amazement.

The Glowing Mushroom Knights entered the Hill City, which had no city gates. Not only were there no city gates, but there were also no glowing plants around the city walls, only some ordinary, non-glowing plants, and the surrounding farmland was the same.

Leo was not surprised by this.

The reason is simple: Hill City is a city that never sleeps, and the shadow monsters dare not approach it, so it naturally does not need the protection of the Light Plant.

Without the threat of the shadow monsters, Hill City, despite its unfavorable location on a hillside, was still full of people. The area inside and outside the city walls was covered with sloping fields, and even the gullies were planted with crops.

"Excuse me, are you the Glowing Mushroom Knights?"

As soon as they entered the city, knights riding phantom beasts came to greet them: "We are His Highness the Prince's Royal Flying Cavalry. His Highness has instructed us to wait here for the arrival of the Glowing Mushroom Knights. Please show us your summons."

The phantom beast beneath the knight was a bull with a small white flower blooming on its head.

Baron Lenard immediately took out a letter written on gold foil from his pocket and handed it over. After verifying that it was correct, the knights followed the Royal Flying Riders into the inner city and arrived at a flat rocky square, where knights from other places had already arrived.

"Set up camp!"

The baron gave the order and then called to Leo, "Come with me to pay our respects to His Highness Prince Hendler."

Prince is a special title.

Without a fief, it can be regarded as a lifelong title of nobility, and it is generally the king's sons or brothers who will be granted the title of prince.

If he is the king's son, he only needs to wait patiently to inherit the throne; if he is the king's brother, his princely title will be revoked after his death, and his descendants can only obtain noble titles by establishing themselves through military achievements.

Prince Hendler was the king's brother.

"Clearly, the King hopes that Prince Hendler can accumulate military merits, so that he can bestow titles upon the Prince's sons." The Baron went to the palace in Hill City, where Prince Hendler was staying. "Most of the knights who came this time have the same goal."

They all wanted to use the war to make a fortune and get rich.

As they walked, the Baron instructed Leo: "If you want to start a business, you should try your best to curry favor with Prince Hendler. For the next ten years or so, this prince should be the kingdom's main advocate for war."

The prince held a prestigious position.

Unfortunately, it was only a lifetime appointment, and in order for their descendants to remain noble forever, every generation of princes was a warmonger.

The kingdom also needs a warlike prince to establish the royal family's martial spirit.

"The King really values ​​Prince Hendler," Leo remarked, looking at the magnificent palace.

"How so?"

"If we don't value Prince Hendler, how can we allow him to stay in the palace? The palace is also a royal palace, and only the king can stay there," Leo said. "There are so many castles in Hill City, some of which are large enough to accommodate a prince."

The baron shook his head: "The royal bloodline is thin. This generation has finally produced two brothers, the king and the prince, so naturally they love each other very much. Moreover, the White Rose royal family has a tradition that any member of the royal family can stay in the palace."

As the father and son whispered among themselves, they had already entered the depths of the palace.

They were led by palace guards to a courtyard, where they could hear a commotion from afar.

It turned out to be several people dressed in gorgeous aristocratic attire, gambling together.

"Your Highness, Baron Lenard of the Fluorescent Fungus family has arrived," a palace guard announced loudly.

The noisy crowd turned their heads.

One of the handsome noblemen, who looked to be around thirty years old, greeted him with a smile: "Linard, come on, come on, add you to the list."

""

This person was none other than Prince Hendler Dragon White Rose.

"Lord Lenard, please sit here," the other nobles greeted him, the betting continuing despite the baron's arrival.

The Baron was about to lead Leo to greet the many nobles.

Prince Hendler immediately ordered, "Forget the formalities, let's play cards. I've already lost over a hundred gold coins. I hope your arrival can change my luck and help me win it all back!"

Renard laughed heartily: "Okay, how much to bet?"

He then sat down in the specially reserved seat and joined the gambling process, asking questions to those around him.

No need for formalities.

Leo breathed a sigh of relief and stood behind the Baron, watching a group of nobles gamble under the Prince's leadership.

The bet involves a type of card similar to playing cards.

There are 52 cards in total, without jokers, and the suits are divided into four types: Knight, Priest, Shadow, and Wizard.

The rules are similar to Texas Hold'em, with two hole cards and five community cards.

The highest-ranking hand is a Royal Flush, which consists of five cards of the same sequence: 10, J, Q, K, and A.

Leo watched for a while.

The J cards reveal four suits: Knight, Priest, Wizard, and Beast; the Q cards reveal four suits: Archmage, Bishop, Necromancer, and Shadow Beast; and the K cards reveal four suits: Phantom Knight, Archbishop, Death Knight, and Void Beast.

"So, these all correspond to the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd orders?" Leo wondered.

He quickly denied it: "No, in the Shadow suit, Wizard, Necromancer, and Death Knight are just evil professions, not classified by rank."

Then he saw card A.

The Ace has four suits, depicting a dragon knight, a six-winged angel, a skeletal dragon, and a ferocious void beast.

"The Dragon Knight is Tier 4, and the Void Beast is also Tier 4," Leo pondered. "But what is this six-winged angel? Did the Archbishop evolve into a six-winged angel? Never heard of that! And what is this bone dragon?"

This kind of card game isn't popular in the Firefly Wilderness; Leo has never played it.

On the contrary, Baron Linard was very familiar with the game, placing bets with ease, clearly having played "Never-Sleeping City" quite often at aristocratic banquets.
