There are so many pebbles in the pebble pit, and some of the pebbles that have sunk to the bottom are very large.

Even a few serfs would have a hard time moving it.

Leo simply summoned his knights and asked them to lend a hand in pulling the large rock up. This kind of work might not be very respectable, but the knights of the country estates had to do it, just like the pioneer knights.

As they dug...

Suddenly, one of the serfs saw a sliver of light shining through the mud at the bottom of the pit, as if something was glowing beneath the mud.

He immediately squatted down and wiped the mud off with his hands.

This sudden burst of light attracted the attention of several serfs nearby.

"What's going on?"

"What's glowing?"

"It is... a large rock." The first serf vigorously wiped the mud off, revealing a huge, gleaming rock.

I didn't see the whole thing, but it's obviously going to be huge.

Only a portion of it is visible.

"It's really a rock!"

"Are those glowing stones holy treasures?"

The serfs gathered around, digging through the mud while marveling at the sight.

The commotion quickly alerted the overseer, Franken, who pushed aside the serfs and squeezed in, asking, "What's going on?"

"Lord Frankenstein, we have discovered a holy artifact—a large, luminous rock!"

"Let me see, let me see!"

Franken squeezed to the edge of the glowing boulder and exclaimed, "By the Holy Light, it truly is a treasure of holy light, and it's enormous! It feels warm to the touch, and... it's as hard as a block of iron!"

He immediately signaled to the serfs to dig out the glowing stone.

The more the pit was dug, the more large rocks were exposed, and the brighter the area within the pit became.

The knights came over to help, and Leo also came closer to examine the "meteorite from outer space" up close.

It sparkles like a luminous pearl.

An extra-large luminous pearl.

It was as big as a water vat, with an irregular oval shape and a surface covered with dense cracks.

"This is meteorite iron!" Knight Commander Pluto, who had somehow caught up, exclaimed excitedly, "My lord, it's meteorite iron! Meteorite iron, orogen, mithril, and adamantite—meteorite iron made from the four holy metals!"

Holy light can help plants evolve and help humans cultivate extraordinary abilities.

Naturally, it can also render objects.

Among the metals, there are four types that have been imbued with holy light: meteorite iron, orogen, mithril, and adamantite.

Weapons crafted from these four holy metals are absolute divine weapons for extraordinary professionals.

"Such a large amount of meteorite iron, how many gold coins would that sell for!" Franken's eyes sparkled. "The Holy Light favors Swamp Manor, the Holy Light favors you, Leo, do you know how much of a fortune you've made this time!"

Leo, however, appeared quite calm.

Having already heard the meaning of the star-striped grass, he calmly said, "This is a huge fortune, Professor Franken. We have the money to develop the manor; it's time to make a big splash."

"Haha, of course!" Franken exclaimed triumphantly. "I can't wait to go and claim my land!"

Soon the huge piece of meteorite was moved out of the crater.

It was said that moving it was inappropriate, but in reality, the knights, together with the serfs, pulled, dragged, and pushed, barely managed to flip the meteorite up from the bottom of the crater.

"Whoosh!"

The serfs were exhausted and panting.

Oden and the other knights also breathed a sigh of relief.

"My lord, this meteorite weighs at least four tons! Four tons!" Laden exclaimed, sticking out his tongue. "If all of it were used to forge Holy Light equipment, how many suits of Holy Light armor, Holy Light longswords, Holy Light shields, and Holy Light spears could be made!"

Pluto nodded silently: "If we were to forge bright Holy Light equipment, it could probably fully arm forty knights... However, that would be too extravagant. Let's forge dark Holy Light equipment instead, which would at least arm an entire knightly order."

The gleaming Holy Light equipment is made entirely of Holy Light metal, resulting in a sparkling effect.

Dark Light equipment is made of an alloy of Holy Light metal and ordinary metal. Depending on the proportion of Holy Light metal, it may emit a faint glow, or it may not glow at all.

Pluto glanced down at the knight's longsword he always carried; this one-handed sword was a dark-light weapon.

However, from its appearance, it is basically impossible to see any light at all.

The amount of holy light metal doped with it is far too small.

The glittering meteorite iron before him seemed to show him a future day when he would wear a set of dark armor that shimmered—no, only emitted a faint glow—and be invincible in the darkness.

"How do I get it back?" Leo just wanted to get this meteorite home as soon as possible and keep it safe.

after all.

The light emitted by meteorite is also holy light, and has the same effect as the light emitted by the light plant, which can ward off monsters in the dark.

If necessary, we can sell some of it to make money.

"Push it, that's the only way." Franken rubbed his hands excitedly. "Wagons and carts definitely can't pull a four-ton meteorite. We can only roll it on the ground and push it by hand back to the castle... This piece of meteorite is worth more than the light emitted by a thousand Light Trees."

Leo smiled and waved: "Then push it back!"

The knights and serfs worked together, chanting slogans as they pushed the meteorite, leaving deep indentations in the road.

In this way, they relied solely on manpower to push the meteorite back to Sunflower Castle.

Instead of placing it inside the castle, the meteorite was erected at the castle's main entrance as a light source.

A fiery red oak tree stands in front of the gate, and a meteorite, as bright as a moon pearl, hangs at the entrance.

Two kinds of light intertwined in front of the gate, creating a beautiful sight.

With his hands behind his back, Leo admired the Sunflower Castle under the various lights, feeling a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction as if he had given the castle a dazzling new look.

"Young Master, is it appropriate to leave it here? Should we send someone to guard it?" Butler Dirk asked, somewhat uneasy.

Meteorite is extremely valuable.

It is far more valuable than the entire Sunflower Castle, and its value is even comparable to the entire Swamp Manor. If someone were to present this meteorite iron to Baron Glowing Mushroom, the baron might just wave his hand and knight him.

of course.

There is a crucial premise—all treasures discovered on the territory belong to the lord.

So even if a knight finds meteorite iron in the wild, it's only credit for the discovery; the treasure belongs to the lord from the very beginning.

This time it was discovered on Leo's territory, so naturally, this meteorite belongs to Leo.

Franken was already laughing from the side: "Mr. Dirk, your worries are unnecessary. If someone can steal it, I can only say... he has the ability, and the Baron will treat him as an honored guest."

It would take a large group of people, including knights, to move the meteorite.

It's not something a petty thief could steal.

"Just leave it here, Mr. Dirk. You don't need to worry about its safety." Leo agreed with Franken's assessment, then called out, "Tell the kitchen to continue the barbecue feast tonight to celebrate the meteorite harvest!"

Butler Dirk bowed slightly: "As you wish, young master."

Franken cheered loudly, "Another barbecue feast! Haha, I love it! Leo, the Holy Light favors you; you were born to be our lord!"

Pluto and the other knights joined in the cheers, "Bravo, my lord!"

Amid cheers, Leo announced, "Ramos, on my behalf, will distribute a black bread to every serf in the territory. Those serfs who participated in the excavation of the cobblestones in the pit will receive an extra one!"
