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

Leo carefully dug the fly agaric plant out of the soil and took it back to his master bedroom.

In order not to compromise the efficacy of the fly larvae.

He even squeezed his body to cast his second Holy Light spell of the day, to improve the condition of the Fly Amanita plant.

The efficacy of the fly larvae strain was optimized.

Only then did he have Doris bring him a basin of water, then dismissed Doris, closed the door, and took a few deep breaths.

I carefully pulled out the fly hyacinth plant, placed its roots in a basin of water, and rinsed away the soil.

"Highly poisonous mushroom... I hope the flower's symbolism isn't lying to me!"

With a determined bite, Leo stuffed the entire fly agaric plant into his mouth, chewed it, and found it to be a little bitter with a hint of radish spiciness.

Without tasting it much, he forcefully swallowed the chewed fly agaric plant whole.

It's all gone.

Not a single grain was left.

He thought for a moment, stared blankly for more than ten seconds, then suddenly pushed open the door and went downstairs to find Bruto, Franken, and the others.

He summoned all the knights and they drank tea together under the oak tree.

In case, in case the poison takes effect.

The knights took turns using their holy light and battle aura to cleanse his body, hoping to save their own lives.

"Sir, is there something you need?" Pluto asked, somewhat puzzled.

"It's alright," Leo smiled. "I'm just killing time anyway, might as well have some tea and chat with everyone."

So, led by Franken, they all started talking about their own stories.

Franken came from a declining lordly and knightly family and had seen the world in Lancashire. His various tales captivated the knights, and Leo couldn't help but yearn for the rich and colorful life in Lancashire.

Life on the manor was indeed a bit monotonous.

Camille, however, showed no interest in the affairs of the big city, and would occasionally brandish an iron sword.

Completely immersed in the knight's training.

They chatted until it was time for lunch, and Leo discovered that he had no reaction after eating the poisonous fly agaric plant.

There was neither poisoning nor the expected awakening of holy light battle aura.

"How strange!"

After lunch, he continued chatting with the knights all afternoon, making Franken's mouth dry.

No matter how many stories you have, you can't keep going on for an entire day.

He was finally free when dinner began.

Leo was certain he wasn't poisoned, so he slowly relaxed, took a bath, and began meditating while holding the sprite insect Maokai.

One night passed.

Still unable to awaken his Holy Light Battle Aura, Leo scratched his head as he got up, somewhat annoyed: "This Poisonous Fly Umbrella Plant, could it really be lying to me...? But why, just so I could eat it?"

Puzzled.

After having breakfast, Leo began his knightly lessons for the day.

Camille had already been training in the small square since early morning, but Leo completely ignored the diligent Camille and trained at his own comfortable pace.

As he practiced, he realized something was wrong.

It felt like a fire was gradually rising in my stomach, and then this fire seemed to spread rapidly through my blood to my limbs and bones.

I suddenly felt a burning sensation.

And it was also mixed with excitement.

Oden, who was sparring with him, clearly sensed something was wrong and parried with his sword: "Sir, your training performance today..."

"Don't talk, Oden. I feel something. Keep practicing with me." Leo knew his own feelings best. After a moment of surprise, he quickly realized that the effects of the fly agaric plant had kicked in.

He has now reached the point where he can awaken his Holy Light Battle Aura.

Oden immediately shut up and silently cooperated, choosing to calmly block no matter how fiercely Leo attacked.

Do not retaliate.

To prevent interrupting Leo's state.

Unbeknownst to him, in his excitement and agitation, during a moment of exhilarating swordplay, Leo's body seemed to suddenly open a valve, and a warm yet firm power instantly filled his entire body.

"drink!"

"ha!"

He brandished his longsword and delivered a heavy slash, the blade suddenly emitting specks of white light.

Dim, yet pure white.

Clang!

Auden's standard-issue longsword snapped in two upon being struck by the white light. He himself was also forced back three or four steps by the force of the impact.

Seeing Leo still motionless in his slashing stance, seemingly savoring the moment, he suddenly widened his eyes and shouted, "Battle Aura! Holy Light Battle Aura! My lord, you have awakened Holy Light Battle Aura!"

That shout.

It immediately drew everyone's attention.

Pluto was the first to rush over, abandoning his instruction of Camille: "Has the adult awakened?"

"It's awakened! I saw battle aura emanating from your longsword, sir!" Oden showed Bruto his short sword. "Look, Commander, even my standard longsword was cut in two by you, sir!"

"By the Holy Light!" The usually composed Pluto showed barely suppressed excitement for the first time. "My lord, you..."

Leo slowly sheathed his longsword and exhaled a breath of stale air.

Then he revealed a smug yet reserved smile: "By luck, by luck, the Holy Light has favored me, and I have made some progress in my cultivation, awakening the Holy Light Battle Qi."

"Leo!" Franken came galloping over from afar, executing a stylish slide kneel and kneeling on one knee. "Congratulations, sir, on awakening your Holy Light Battle Aura! You have now advanced to the extraordinary profession of Knight. Now is the time to make your mark!"

With him taking the lead, Bruto, Oden, and the others finally realized what was happening and knelt down on one knee, saying, "Congratulations, sir!"

They were Leo's followers.

Nature takes pride in Leo's achievements.

Camille knelt down in a daze. Not quite understanding human relationships and the implications of Leo's awakening of Holy Light Aura for his followers, she was filled with envy.

She also wants to awaken the Holy Light Battle Qi.

"Young Master!" Butler Decker and his servants rushed forward excitedly to congratulate him, showering him with praise and admiration.

"Get up, everyone." Surrounded by the crowd, the atmosphere was so wonderful that Leo couldn't keep up his composure any longer. He immediately abandoned his reserve, waved his hand triumphantly, and declared loudly, "Today is my day of glory, and it is everyone's day of glory."

"May the Holy Light protect you!"

"Blessed by the Holy Light!"

"Holy Light above!" the knights cried out.

Leo continued loudly, "Today, the people celebrate with me, the knights celebrate with me, the feast... begins!"

The knights began galloping toward the serf quarters, proclaiming the glory of Leo's ascension to knighthood.

Butler Decker, along with the servants, began preparing for today's lunch and dinner. One could imagine that the entire Swamp Manor would be bustling with activity today.

After the initial excitement.

Leo sat down under the oak tree, and after being overwhelmed by congratulations, he didn't even have time to properly experience the Holy Light Battle Aura.

Close your eyes.

Unable to see inside, but able to vaguely sense that in addition to the blood, there is another flowing vein in the body.

A thin, gentle yet firm aura flowed along this line, nourishing and strengthening the body wherever it passed.

"Is this the Holy Light Battle Aura?" Leo clenched his fist, feeling that his fist was more powerful than ever before.

As long as the mind is guided.

This thin, thread-like beam of holy light can burst forth from within the body, killing monsters in the darkness.

Of course, the best way to guide it is through the weapon, infusing the weapon with holy light and fighting spirit to unleash its power.

"Knight... I am now Knight Leo."
