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

Sunflower seedlings have been successfully cultivated.

This was a huge surprise for Bob and Rauff, because Leo's reward was very generous.

But for others, it's just another type of light plant.

I don't think that sunflower plants with light are any more special than fluorescent mushroom plants, hyacinth plants, or evening primrose plants.

The most unique luminous plant in the Swamp Manor is clearly the oak luminous plant that has become a luminous cordyceps.

The fiery red oak-shaped cordyceps has become a spiritual totem for everyone on the estate.

"It's grown even bigger, young master. I've been observing it every day, and this oak tree is growing rapidly." Butler Decker handed a plate of nuts to Leo, who was resting under the oak tree, and remarked with admiration.

After attracting the spirit insect, the oak tree evolves into the Light Cordyceps.

It is growing at a visible rate; it was already over three meters tall, and now it's heading straight for four meters.

Moreover, with its branches becoming increasingly bushy and its trunk twisting and turning, it will surely grow into a very large canopy.

"Yes, it's time to transplant it," Leo nodded.

The oak tree grew larger and larger, and the original location at the main entrance was no longer suitable; some branches were almost touching the outer wall of the castle.

Doris brought over the fairy insect, Mokai.

Leo immediately placed Maokai in his palm: "Little guy, get to work, put your cordyceps away."

Maokai's outfit features a reddish-brown color scheme.

Red is the color of the oak tree's glow, brown is the color of the acorn, lying in the palm of your hand like a large cotton candy.

Sesame Seed's tiny eyes glanced at Leo, then at the fiery red oak tree by the door, before lazily opening its mouth and taking a breath.

next moment.

The red oak-shaped cordyceps began to tremble violently, then rapidly transformed into a ball of red light. The red light shrank smaller and smaller until it resembled a small flame, which was then absorbed into Maokai's stomach.

Only a large pit left, formed by tree roots.

The once fiery red and bright castle gate suddenly dimmed, leaving only a few luminous plants in the corners emitting a faint glow.

"What an amazing scene," Leo exclaimed.

A large tree was transformed into a beam of light and swallowed by the spirit insect, completely beyond Leo's comprehension.

But that's what makes the Eternal Night Continent so magical.

The new location for the oak tree wasn't too far away, just moved outwards by five meters. Leo patted Maokai's belly: "This is it, Maokai, let's replant the oak tree."

Maokai lazily opened his mouth and spat out a small flame.

After the small flame landed, it grew rapidly in the wind, truly leaping up like a flame, and in a flash, it unfolded into the outline of a large tree. Then, the light subsided, and it indeed transformed into an oak tree radiating a red glow.

In no time at all, the oak tree transplantation was completed.

The fiery red light illuminated the castle's main entrance once more, and together with the glowing mushrooms and candle moss climbing the castle's outer walls, it was as if a dazzling light effect had been applied to this three-story stone castle, making it quite a beautiful sight.

And so, the day's work came to an end.

Leo decided to have a barbecue tonight, so Butler Dirk and the servants moved the tables and chairs under the oak tree.

Mrs. Abby was busy skewering meat and vegetables.

Maids Olivia and Doris were busy grilling, while servant Thomas was busy serving dishes, and assistant butler Ramos was busy pouring drinks.

Leo and his knights enjoyed their roasted meat and beer, having a wonderful time.

"Life on a country estate can be boring, Leo, but if you learn to find your own enjoyment, you can have a good mood no matter where you are," Franken said, raising his glass. "Come, let us give thanks for all of this and praise the fluorescent mushroom family."

"Amazing is the fluorescent mushroom family!"

"Praise be to Young Master Rio!"

"Holy Light shines upon Swamp Manor!"

"Holy Light!" Camille had already become familiar with the knights and was no longer reserved around Lord Leo.

They ate meat with gusto and drank milk tea with gusto.

This was a successful barbecue feast, a lively and boisterous celebration that proclaimed Leo's complete sovereignty over the Marsh Estate.

……

At night, after taking a bath, Leo held the spirit insect Maokai and began his tedious holy light meditation.

Although it's boring.

But the feeling of the Holy Light gradually washing over my body was still very comfortable: "I'll cast the Holy Light spell on the sunflower again tomorrow... once a day. Once my body has fully adapted to the Holy Light element and the meditation effect is enhanced, I can cast it more often each day."

The next day.

May 7th.

There is no calendar, but the old butler, Dirk, will carefully record the dates, and the clock in the castle will be wound up every night.

Try to make the date as accurate as possible.

They lived according to the day-night cycle that existed a thousand years ago.

Leo went to the Magic Crystal Field greenhouse and cast a spell on the sunflowers again. When he cast the Holy Light spell, two more sunflower heads emitted a faint glow, as if they had become two white jade plates.

"Holy Light, young master, you are the embodiment of Holy Light!" Rauff immediately began to fawn over him.

Old Bob retorted, not to be outdone: "Young Master Leo is a noble scion of the Glowing Mushroom family; the Holy Light will naturally favor him!"

Leo, however, seemed to be deep in thought.

He looked at the sun mark on his left palm, invisible to others, and pondered, "It's not that I'm blessed by holy light, but rather... my sun mark has a strong connection with sunflowers."

You could even say that...

The Holy Light spell he cast must have been enhanced by the Sun Mark, which is why it was able to activate four sunflower plants in such a short time.

"Hmm, I'll try casting Holy Light on other plants tomorrow and see if it has a similar effect."

Leo was making plans in his mind.

He instructed Old Bob and Rauff to look after the sunflowers, and then left the Magic Crystal Field.

By 3:30 p.m., the sun's mark will be full of energy again, which can inspire new flower meanings.

This time, the warmth still pointed outside the castle.

Following Leo's footsteps, the source was quickly pinpointed to a large cobblestone pit outside the manor. This pit was a remnant of a riverbed in the swamp, filled with pebbles of all sizes.

Around the large pit, there were a few very faint mushroom-shaped plants growing sparsely.

The flower's meaning is a wild star-studded grass in the distance, its light so dim it barely shines.

But it is still a luminous plant, still capable of evoking flower language, subtle whispers: "There is a stone glowing at the bottom of the river. According to the memories of our ancestors, it came down from the sky, streaking across the sky with brilliant fireworks, and crashed into the river."

"Huh?"

Leo's heart skipped a beat, and he understood the meaning of the star-studded clover's flower language: a meteorite was hidden in this cobblestone pit.

A luminous meteorite.

Without a doubt, this is a meteorite illuminated by holy light.

"Thomas, go back and tell Teacher Franken to arrange for the people to come and dig for stones, and to collect as many of these pebbles as possible and store them around the castle." Leo didn't want to directly say that there was treasure at the bottom of the pit.

So he made up an excuse.

This undoubtedly left Franken somewhat helpless: "Leo, you always do whatever comes to mind. These pebbles are perfectly fine here, why do you have to dig them all up?"

"Just do as I say," Leo instructed.

Franken could only shrug: "You're the lord, I'll obey you."
