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

Franken has left.

Leo, however, remained seated in his small study, then took out a blank sheet of paper and a fountain pen.

Write your family history on paper in Chinese, then reflect on your own position and future development direction.

The Glowing Mushroom family is a hereditary noble family in the White Rose Kingdom.

The family territory is called Firefly Wilds, located in the northeastern region of the kingdom, far from the southern capital, White Dragon City. Therefore, the nobles here mainly socialize in Lancashire.

Every few years, the king would also come to Lancashire to stay for a few months and get to know the local nobles.

Or perhaps the baron would travel to the capital, White Dragon City, around the time of the annual festival to express his loyalty to his king.

"I am my father's vassal, not the king's vassal..." Leo put down his pen and pondered for a moment.

Limited by his father, Baron Linard's title, the only noble title he could bestow upon Leo was Knight.

Above that, there's nowhere left to seal off.

"However, Franken revealed that there is a strong call for my father to be promoted to earl, which may be an important opportunity for me to take the next step." Once Baron Lenard is promoted to earl, Riodo could really advance further by flattering his father.

An earl can grant barons to his subordinates.

The power of such a "secondary" baron certainly cannot compare with that of a direct baron of the kingdom, but it is still within the ranks of the great nobility.

He paused, pen in hand.

A sharp glint flashed in Leo's eyes: "If something were to happen to my elder brother, as the second in line to the throne, why couldn't I take his place?"

He had never had this idea before.

However, his predecessor was targeted by a conspiracy and even died in an attack by the Shadow Beast, forcing him to consider the matter of succession.

Baron Lenard the Glowing Fungus had three sons and one daughter.

His first wife was Heather Evening Primrose, the daughter of Count Evening Primrose. The couple were loving and harmonious and had an eldest son, Neant Glowing Fungus, a daughter, Lisa Glowing Fungus, and a second son, Leo Glowing Fungus.

But when Leo was three or four years old, Mrs. Heather died in a demonic upheaval.

The Baron was deeply grieved.

He then quickly married the daughter of a lord knight in the territory, the current Sandra Candlemoss, and they had a son, Lipton Glowfungus.

"Lipton is third in line to the throne." Leo wrote the name on the paper. "Mrs. Sandra wants to kill me so that Lipton will become second in line. If something happens to my older brother, then Lipton..."

This plan sounds crazy.

and.

According to the memories left by the previous owner, Mrs. Sandra did not seem to be a "bad" woman. She was usually polite to the three siblings and did not have the malice of a stepmother, nor did she deliberately try to please them.

Therefore, the predecessor never doubted anything and naturally assumed that his elder brother Neander would smoothly inherit the title of baron.

The best outcome for him and Lipton would be to be knighted as lords.

Therefore, the predecessor was quite happy to go to the Swamp Manor to "take up his fiefdom," feeling that he was free from the constraints of the Glowing Fungus Castle and could indulge himself to the fullest...

"Intuition is a very unreliable thing. You can't judge people based on your senses; you have to consider their interests," Leo told himself. "Whoever benefits from me is the prime suspect!"

Then he smiled slightly: "Besides, I also have the Sun Mark. When I return to the Glowing Fungus Castle for my grandmother's birthday, I'll stay for a couple more days and trigger the flower language a few more times...maybe I can find something on Mrs. Sandra!"

He circled Sandra Candlemoss's name several times.

Then his gaze fell on his eldest brother Neant's name, and the thought of taking his place kept rising in his mind, but he finally suppressed it: "I'll find a chance to remind my eldest brother that no matter what, we are brothers."

It's not that Leo is particularly kind-hearted.

He didn't want to take away his elder brother's position as heir.

Instead, he believed that with the Sun Mark as his cheat code, he had a chance to ride a dragon in the future, so why should he fight with his elder brother for such a small amount of family property?

"In my memory, my eldest brother was unfilial and my eldest sister was not virtuous, but I cannot be unrighteous and unjust." Leo has already achieved self-realization.

He rolled up the paper and lit it over the kerosene lamp.

Only after burning to ashes did he get up and leave the small study, returning to the third floor to meditate while holding the sprite-bug Maokai.

……

It's 6:30 p.m.

Leo had already eaten dinner and was sitting in a chair under the oak tree, watching Camille practice riding with Pluto.

With the castle's full support, Camille was like a sponge, desperately absorbing all the knights' knowledge and experience.

She was so hardworking.

So much so that after two days of trying to stay motivated, Leo felt he couldn't keep up with the intensity, his mental state started to decline, and he became lax.

Fortunately, he still has other avenues to strive for success.

The sun mark on the palm has been fully charged and is shining again. This time, there was no need to wait long; the warm guidance followed immediately.

Pointing out of the manor.

"Oden, you four have nothing to do, come with me for a stroll outside the manor," Leo casually ordered.

Then he mounted the Warhorse of Light and Shadow and left the manor.

Following the warm guidance, we soon arrived at the edge of a puddle, where a wild reed stood.

These plants growing near water are difficult to transplant.

Light plants are needed in the wild to ward off shadow monsters, so no one would move a reed light plant home.

Dismount and touch.

The flower language of the bare reed is like that of an excited little girl talking.

There was a sense of jubilant excitement: "Oh sun, a giant crocodile hides in the mud of the swamp, its fangs gleaming in the darkness. If it didn't want to leave the mud, it might have fallen into the shadows and become one of the monsters."

Leo was immediately startled.

Giant crocodile!

monster!

He was once bitten by a snake, and for ten years he was afraid of even a well rope.

However, they quickly realized that the flower language meant that the giant crocodile had not yet fallen into the shadows, and therefore had not turned into a monster such as a demon beast or a shadow beast.

Or a wild beast.

But its fangs gleamed, clearly influenced by holy light or shadow, just like the black ant Leo had discovered earlier.

The queen ant in the black ant colony has been handed over to Ramos for care.

So, could this giant crocodile in the mud pool be raised as a pet? The meat of such a crocodile, which has been artificially enhanced, must taste much better than that of a regular crocodile.

"Quiet down." Leo pulled up a cover. "I think I've spotted something. There seems to be some kind of animal crawling in the mud. Oden, you four, search carefully and find it for me."

"Yes, sir!"

The four of them immediately began a careful search.

Oden also reminded Leo, "Sir, you should stay by the reeds and wait for us to clear the danger."

Although Leo knew that the crocodile in the mud pit was not a magical beast, he still obediently stayed where he was. He didn't want to take any risks. After all, this swamp crocodile was a ferocious giant crocodile!

After a while.

Harden exclaimed, "Look what I found! It's a little alligator, a little alligator with glowing teeth!"

He grabbed the crocodile by the tail from the mud, jogged over, and showed it to Leo: "Sir, what you saw crawling around is probably this little guy. Its teeth glow!"

Leo opened his mouth, looking at the swamp crocodile that was about the same size as a Yangtze alligator, and didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Is this the "giant crocodile" described by Luwei Guangzhu?
