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

The celebration had faded by the next day.

The knights' morning training sessions proceeded as usual, and Camille was even more diligent than before, while Leo was exempted from many basic courses.

He then began his real battle against Oden and other knights.

Learn how to command and control Holy Light Battle Aura in battle, and how to integrate Holy Light Battle Aura into martial arts techniques.

"The power of Holy Light Battle Aura lies in its strong enhancement effect. Even a rusty iron sword, when enhanced with Holy Light Battle Aura, can become as sharp as cutting through mud," Pluto instructed Leo from the side.

As a knight commander, he was essentially also a knight instructor.

Oden, on the other hand, is a great sparring partner. He is broad-shouldered and quick-reacting, and can handle any of Leo's attacks.

There are good teachers and good practice partners.

For Leo, the knight training was simple. After just one hour of training, he felt that he had mastered the Holy Light Battle Aura.

"Lord Pluto, do you think I'll be able to participate in the monster hunt in a few days?" Leo was getting a little cocky.

"Let's practice for another month."

"Another month?"

"Yes, sir, your martial arts techniques are not yet steady enough, and your control over Holy Light Battle Qi is not fast enough. It will be difficult to withstand attacks from magical beasts. Only by making your martial arts skills instinctive and controlling Holy Light Battle Qi instinctive can you hunt magical beasts."

"Alright." Although Leo was a little unconvinced, he was determined to listen to advice.

The gentleman does not stand under the wall.

He understands this principle.

After finishing the Knight's Course, Pluto led a hunting party to replenish the magic crystals needed for the next cycle.

Bored, Leo went to Camille's side.

Camille was still doing the monotonous standing meditation.

"Train hard, Camille."

"Yes, sir."

"Remember, the awakening of Holy Light Aura requires you to explore it from within your own heart," Leo advised, eager to teach.

These are all valuable experiences provided by the knights of the Glowing Fungus Castle from the memories of the previous incarnation.

Unfortunately, it didn't work on Leo.

In the end, it was only after consuming the Fly Aureole that Camille awakened her Holy Light Aura. But this did not prevent Leo from passing on these experiences as his own "insights" to Camille, helping her to awaken her Aura as soon as possible.

"I will strive to learn from the adults, and I will awaken my Holy Light Battle Aura as soon as possible!" Camille responded loudly.

The little girl is no longer timid.

They might be a little slow on the uptake, but they are incredibly determined. Once they've set their course, they stay focused and unwavering.

This is commendable.

Even Leo was envious. He knew very well that he was actually just an ordinary person who couldn't endure much hardship.

Moreover, with too many distracting thoughts, it's impossible to maintain purity.

Watch Camille train for a while.

The warmth of his palm reminded him that another floral message could be triggered, this time at a location that was neither too close nor too far. He wandered around alone until he reached the western fence, finally pinpointing the source to a cluster of fluorescent fungi.

"More fluorescent mushrooms... There are so many fluorescent mushrooms." No other light-emitting plant in the Swamp Manor has as many fluorescent mushrooms as there are other light-emitting plants.

These glowing mushrooms are found everywhere.

Touching the green canopy, the next moment, a string of thoughts bloomed in his mind: "Conspiracy, conspiracy, it smells like conspiracy. My partner died in a conspiracy, it's the power of shadows... Hmm, you should have heard about it."

I have indeed heard about it.

The previous cluster of fluorescent fungi provided the same information.

Leo was somewhat speechless. He hadn't expected to hear the same thing repeated while listening to the language of flowers: "These fluorescent mushrooms... could they be like messengers, spreading like wildfire, from one to ten, ten to a hundred, all the way from the gap in the luminous path all the way to the Swamp Manor?"

That's actually quite possible.

He was somewhat disappointed that he hadn't gained any benefits, but at the same time, he felt a little sentimental: "The conspiracy that led to my being framed has spread throughout the fluorescent mushroom circle... I wonder if any fluorescent mushrooms at the crime scene have stumbled upon the conspiracy."

Leo thought that he should go and take a walk around the gap in the glimmering road someday.

The fluorescent mushroom fortress should have repaired the breach; it's unclear whether any remaining evidence can be found.

It was afternoon.

Pluto and his companions returned laden with spoils, having hunted down a full twelve magical beasts this time.

However, Biden and Harden also suffered some injuries. One had two holes bitten in his arm by the monster, and the other had a gash on his waist. Their protective knight armor failed to protect them from the monster's attacks.

"Take good care of yourself," Leo comforted him.

Then he made a decision: "Leaving the meteorite iron at the castle gate is of little use, and it will be requisitioned by the Glowing Fungus Castle sooner or later. Knight Commander Pluto, go back and knock off a hundred catties, no, five hundred catties, and take it to the Glowing Town to forge knight equipment."

After a pause, Leo said, "Craft a squad of twelve knights in Darklight armor, and equip each of them with one. This will make hunting safer."

Pluto immediately knelt on one knee: "You are so generous, sir!"

This moment.

He truly felt a heartfelt urge to die for a friend, and the last trace of resentment he felt for Leo, which the Baron had assigned to him, dissipated with it.

What does it matter if a lord who is willing to care for his knights is somewhat mediocre in talent?

The lord's glory is not only earned by the lord himself, but also by his followers, the knights, who fight together for him.

"Remember, each and every one of you is important to me." Leo seized the opportunity to stir emotions and cultivate the knights' loyalty. "I hope that when we achieve glory in the future, each and every one of you will share it with me!"

"We swear to serve you to the death, sir!" Oden and the others knelt down on one knee in unison.

Upon witnessing this scene.

At the entrance of Sunflower Castle, Butler Dirk smiled with satisfaction and muttered to himself, "Young Master Leo has grown up."

The once aloof and arrogant young nobleman has now learned how to win people's hearts.

……

Meditation, spiritual practice.

The next morning, the sun's mark remained still, and it wasn't until right after lunch that the warmth finally arrived.

However, the source of the warmth points to Sunflower Castle.

"Hmm, it's right here at home." Leo quickly pinpointed the source of the flower's meaning and placed it on the second-floor balcony.

It was the sunflower plant that was entrusted to Raoff for care, intended as a birthday gift for his grandmother.

"Young master, you entrusted the sunflower plant to my care, and every night before bed I would exhaust myself to cast an extra Holy Light spell on it." Rauff was busy taking credit; the sunflower plant was indeed being taken very well.

The branches are sturdy and the flower heads are full.

"Hmm, not bad," Leo commented, which immediately made Rauff beam with joy.

Leo then reached out and touched the sunflower stalk. A familiar yet somewhat unfamiliar, warm and passionate voice echoed in his mind: "I am the sun..."

But his tone quickly turned somber: "No, I am not the sun yet."

"The sun... that's interesting." Leo stood in the corridor, gazing at the dim light outside the window, pondering the meaning of the sunflower's flower.

Although the meaning of the flower does not reveal any benefits.

But that phrase, "I am the sun," subtly made Leo feel something—a sense of mission, as if he were a savior.

"I am the sun!"
