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

"Praise be to Young Master Rio!"

"Holy Light, please continue to favor young master Leo!"

"May young master Leo be embraced by holy light every day."

"Praise be to young master Rio! Praise be to the Fluorescent Mushroom family!"

The serfs, who had received the promise of black bread—that the castle was temporarily unable to produce it—cheered loudly outside the castle.

The level of support for Leo has reached an extremely high level.

If the serfs were numb with a hint of curiosity when Leo first arrived, now they wholeheartedly support his arrival.

It was just a little bit of black bread.

Leo completely won over the hearts of the serfs.

"Here's to Leo-sama!"

"Here's to Leo-sama!"

At the barbecue feast, the knights were also cheering for Leo's name, and even the usually reserved Pluto was cheering loudly.

Fairy Insects...

siderite……

The genius knight Camille...

Pluto may distrust Leo and not believe in Leo's future prospects, but he must have faith in the Holy Light.

The Holy Light favored Leo.

So he trusted Leo, believing that following Leo would lead to a promising future.

"To the glow mushrooms, to the sunflowers!" Leo concluded, raising his beer glass. "May our territory prosper!"

……

After the barbecue party ended.

Leo wasn't drunk, just a little tipsy, and then he took his butler, Dirk, and his personal maid, Doris, for a stroll around the castle.

"Mr. Dirk, have all the servants received their rewards?"

"Each person gets a cup of cream pudding. The servants are all thanking you for your generosity, young master, and everyone has a happy smile on their face."

"That's good."

After walking for a while, we unknowingly arrived at the Magic Crystal Field greenhouse.

Old Bob, the steward, was dozing on a bench when he heard the noise and realized it was Leo. He quickly bowed and greeted him, "Young Master Leo, welcome."

"I've come to see the sunflowers."

There are still only four sunflower plants, all of which were created by Leo using his Holy Light spell.

After standing in front of the sunflowers for a while, Leo decided to cast Holy Light again; he had already cast it once that morning.

After a day's work, eating and drinking makes me feel like I've made up for it all.

Therefore, he chose to cast Holy Light on another patch of plants as a comparison, to study whether his Holy Light spell had any special effect on sunflowers.

Extend both hands.

Gathering holy light.

Cast spell, Holy Light!

Holy light shone down, and the plants in the field grew rapidly, but not a single plant emitted light.

Old Bob had already prepared to flatter him, but the words caught in his throat. He smiled obsequiously and said, "Young Master Leo, that's how Holy Light works. Very few Light Plants can be induced to grow; most just grow normally."

"Hmm." Leo showed no disappointment.

On the contrary, this further solidified that his Holy Light spell, after being blessed by the Mark of the Sun, was indeed only effective on sunflowers.

"Make good use of that bag of seedlings," Leo instructed before leaving.

Old Bob immediately replied, "Yes, yes, young master Leo, don't worry, I certainly won't waste any of the seedlings."

"By the way, I heard from Rauff that you want to send your son to Lancashire?"

"Ah, I do have that idea." Old Bob became energetic when he mentioned his son. "Bauer is already ten years old. I took him to the monastery in Glowing Town before, where Abbot Zane tested him, but he has no talent."

Lacking talent means being unsuitable for a professional career.

But old Bob was not disappointed in his son. He smiled and said, "I was thinking of sending him to Lancashire to learn some knowledge at the Holy Light Church's school. After he finishes his studies, he will be able to better serve you, young master Leo."

"Yes, that's good." Leo nodded. "My tutor, Franken, graduated from the Papal School."

He patted Bob on the shoulder: "Take good care of young Ball."

"Hey, hey!" Old Bob laughed heartily.

Leo turned and walked out of the Magic Crystal Field greenhouse, with Doris quickly following, while Butler Dirk lagged behind.

He said softly to old Bob, "Yes, young master cares a lot about young Bob. If you need anything in the future, you can tell me, and maybe I can help."

"Thank you so much, Mr. Dirk!"

"It's nothing, it's for the children." After saying that, Butler Dirk quickly left the Magic Crystal Field greenhouse.

Old Bob, deeply moved, was left behind, gazing at the bare seedlings on the two acres of land.

Composing himself, he secretly vowed, "I must train Bauer! I'll rise from serf to manager of the magic crystal fields, and Bauer will surely become a distinguished guest of noble lords, just like Lord Franken!"

……

Early the next morning.

After gritting his teeth and finishing his morning knight's lesson, Leo went to the Magic Crystal Field greenhouse and sat down to catch his breath.

Then I began today's Holy Light spellcasting.

Since a control group already exists, he cast a spell on this patch of sunflowers again today. After the holy light was cast, two more sunflower heads quietly began to emit a faint light, becoming glowing plants.

"Holy Light!"

Old Bob exclaimed, this time with genuine praise: "May the Holy Light bless Young Master Leo!"

Looking at the glowing sunflower, Leo smiled sincerely. He had confirmed that his Holy Light spell was indeed extraordinary.

This is a holy light spell blessed by the mark of the sun.

It has an unparalleled effect on sunflowers.

"Yes." Leo had made up his mind. "My Holy Light spell will be a special Holy Light spell for sunflowers. From now on, I will only cast Holy Light spells on sunflowers, cultivating enough sunflower seedlings... to create a field of light, or even a sea of ​​light!"

It is said that...

Mythical Beasts are often born in fields of light; only when there are enough light plants can a Mythical Beast be summoned.

The legendary dragon, powerful enough to suppress the fate of a nation, creates a city that never sleeps upon its birth. But only when the light plants are abundant enough to form a vast ocean will a dragon be favored and tear through the eternal night to descend upon the human world.

"I wonder if I'll ever be able to grow a sea of ​​sunflowers, a true sea of ​​light?"

"Ride a dragon and become a dragon knight?"

Leo had confidence, especially after seeing the sun mark on his palm and the six sunflowers in front of him.

That made me even more certain.

……

After leaving the Magic Crystal Field greenhouse, Leo spent the whole day wandering around the manor. Wherever he went, any serfs would immediately kowtow or bow to him.

Then he greeted him with, "May the Holy Light bless Young Master Leo."

This is what people want.

"Professor Franken, I've discovered that the 6,000 acres of the estate essentially encompass the best part of the swamp."

"Yes, Leo, Lord Harrison and his pioneering knights are very good at choosing pioneering sites. The best piece of land in this swamp is where our manor is located." Franken agreed.

Leo changed the subject: "However, the plans are somewhat disorganized."

"How so?"

Leo used a twig to draw a simple map on the ground.

The castle is in the center, with a row of knights' houses on the left, which is still under expansion; on the right is a livestock pen, mainly housing ten horses and some mules; in front is a small square with meteorite iron and oak trees, all of which can glow.

Behind the castle is a small vegetable garden.

Go north from the back gate, about 500 meters away, there is a scattered residential area with three or five houses clustered together.

"Look at these serfs' houses, they're crooked and unevenly distributed. The field ridges and roads are also slanted, wasting not only the light of the plants but also a lot of walking distance to get to the fields," Leo said.

He prefers a straight, horizontal and vertical arrangement to a messy distribution.

Franken nodded: "It's possible that when the swamp was being cultivated, some puddles needed to be avoided, but after it was cultivated, the puddles were filled in, leaving behind the slightly messy layout we see now."
