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

The oak tree's flower language calmly narrates: "From the cracks in the meteorite iron, a different kind of holy light shines through. My master, I must tell you, that is the aura of refined gold, hidden deep within the heart of the meteorite iron."

Refined gold?

Leo's eyes lit up. Of the four holy metals—meteorite, orogen, mithril, and adamantite—meteorite was the least valuable, while adamantite was the most valuable.

Because refined gold is extremely rare, and gold itself is a valuable currency, its value becomes immeasurable when further enhanced by holy light.

Moreover, the holy light attribute of adamantite itself is amplified.

Meteorite conduction, orogen copper defense, mithril soft sound, adamantium amplification... Holy Light weapons mixed with adamantium will have their battle aura martial arts and holy light spells amplified by the adamantium, thus increasing the power of the holy light.

Immediately, Leo called to Pluto: "Knight Commander, has the 500-pound meteorite fallen yet?"

"We've knocked it down!" Pluto's voice trembled slightly, a result of his excitement.

Leo wants to use meteorite iron to forge holy light equipment.

Without a doubt, one of the sets will be given to him to wear. Even if he doesn't own the set, but only has the right to use it, it will still be a great joy for him, a blessing from the Holy Light.

Leo looked at the meteorite.

It does seem to have shrunk a bit.

After all, a four-ton meteorite is equivalent to eight thousand catties. If five hundred catties are knocked off, it is only one-sixteenth of the meteorite.

"Take these meteorites with you when you go back to the Glowing Fungus Castle. I'll contact the castle's craftsmen to forge them into holy weapons," Leo said, explaining his plan to equip a squad of knights.

A knight squad usually consists of twelve knights, which means he has to use five hundred pounds of meteorite iron to forge twelve sets of holy light equipment.

Bruto responded excitedly, "Sir, Oden and I have calculated that a set of luminous equipment requires about fifty pounds of meteorite iron. If we spread it evenly, five hundred pounds of meteorite iron can easily make twelve sets of luminous equipment."

He paused, then changed the subject: "However, it's a bit too ostentatious for the knights to wear such fine equipment, so I suggest that you use five hundred catties of meteorite iron to forge twenty sets of Darklight equipment."

"Arm two squads of knights?"

"Yes, you have enough resources and time to build two squads of knights." Pluto's eyes were burning.

It was driven by both public and private motives.

The stronger the forces under Leo's command, the more opportunities he will have to achieve great things in the future, so he hopes that Leo can support two knight squads.

In response, he flattered her, saying, "Moreover, using five hundred catties of meteorite iron to forge twenty sets of dark-light equipment is too extravagant. We could easily spare eighty catties to forge a set of bright-light equipment for you, sir."

A typical knight's standard equipment set weighs about fifty pounds.

Meteorite is heavier, so it requires eighty pounds.

Ordinary people might not be able to withstand such weight, but for the knight and the Warhorse of Light and Shadow, it's a piece of cake.

"Would it be too flashy to have a single set of glowing gear?"

"My lord, the craftsmen of the Glowing Fungus Fortress are highly skilled. I know of a dust-covering technique that can hide the light of glowing equipment, so that it will only glow when infused with battle aura during combat." Pluto had done his homework.

He is a Tier 2 Grand Knight, a professional.

So Leo readily agreed: "Since it's your suggestion, then let's make it according to your wishes."

"Yes, sir!" Pluto replied loudly.

"Also," Leo cut to the chase, "bring Oden and the others over here, and smash this meteorite to pieces."

"Smash him?"

"Yes, it will have to be smashed and taken away sooner or later." Leo knew very well that this piece of meteorite iron only belonged to him temporarily.

Once Baron Lenard learns of this, he will definitely confiscate it.

After all, these were strategic resources, and Leo was not only his son but also his followers and vassals.

Leo dared to leave behind 500 jin (250 kg) and forge his own Holy Light equipment, which can be considered as taking advantage of his father's love to be willful.

If it were any other lord or knight, upon discovering this meteorite, they would have contacted the Baron immediately, not daring to keep a single pound—even though, theoretically, the meteorite belongs to whoever owns it.

In reality, for a vassal like Leo, everything was bestowed upon him by the baron, and the baron could take it all away with just a word.

"Yes, sir!" Pluto nodded.

He then summoned Oden, Harden, Laden, and Biden, and the five knights worked together to repeatedly strike the meteorite with their weapons.

Clang, clang, clang!

The meteorite was violently smashed, breaking into seven or eight pieces, each weighing a thousand pounds, scattered on the ground, still radiating a bright light.

"Alright, you can all go back now." Leo shooed everyone away and then instructed Butler Dirk not to let anyone near them.

He wanted to personally search for refined gold from the shattered meteorite.

Soon, a different color was found in a fragment of meteorite iron: a golden light mixed in with the white light.

Leo struck the gold piece violently with his hammer several times, his hand aching from the impact, before finally managing to knock it off.

Picking it up and weighing it, it was only the size of an adult's fist, but it weighed a full ten pounds.

"Is this adamantite? I feel it unconsciously attracting the holy light battle qi within my body. It truly lives up to its reputation as a top-grade holy light metal." Leo directly put the adamantite into a cloth bag and then personally delivered it to the small study.

He has a small box in his study where he keeps his treasures.

Inside are the treasures that the original owner had accumulated since childhood, including picture books, cards, bracelets, rings, and other items with sentimental value.

But that only made sense to the predecessor; to Leo, it was just a pile of junk.

He moved the clutter away and put it in the cabinet, then carefully locked the fine gold wrapped in the cloth bag into the treasure box.

"Phew." The box was locked, and Leo smiled. "You can keep the meteorite iron, but I'll take the adamantite... When I have the chance, I'll forge myself a set of holy light equipment mixed with adamantite."

But then she quickly thought, "I can easily forge a magic wand out of adamantite, after all, I'll become a priest sooner or later."

At that time.

Waving his adamantine magic staff, he cast a holy light spell. It was believed that with one holy light spell, all the light plants would be illuminated by the holy light.

After finishing his work, Leo felt that once he calmed down, he would miss the Countess.

This is not good.

A true man should not be harmed by wine and women.

He called out to Camille, "Come on, Camille, I'll practice martial arts with you today."

"Yes, sir," Camille replied loudly, becoming more and more like a knight, no longer the timid and silly girl she once was.

Longswords clashed.

Ding ding ding.

"Wrong, don't raise your hand, move your body along the trajectory of the sword."

"You're wrong again. Don't use up all your strength at once. You need to know how to conserve and save your strength. First, make sure you're invincible, then think about how to kill the enemy."

"Very good, that's a good move, you've already achieved the resemblance."

"Increase the intensity, Camille! How come your swordplay is already getting weak after just a few rounds?"

Leo practiced with the students while loudly instructing them, thoroughly enjoying the experience of guiding beginners.

In teaching, it is also a way to integrate and apply what one has learned in the past.

The Holy Light Battle Qi was consumed, refined, and strengthened without anyone noticing. Camille progressed rapidly, and Leo himself progressed just as quickly.
