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

After Cecilia showed her concern and asked after him, Leo sat back down next to his brother-in-law, Phoenix.

"Leo, are you settling in well with life at the manor?" the eldest brother, Neander, asked gently.

Neant is twenty-three years old, married for less than two years, and has not yet had children. He resembles the Baron and has inherited the Baron's talents. He is now a second-tier Grand Knight and is patiently waiting for his phantom beast.

"Of course," Leo replied. "Everything is fine."

"That's good. Build the swamp estate well." After saying that, Neander turned back to continue talking to the servant.

Leo could sense that his older brother was only asking politely and didn't really care about him at all.

As for her older sister Lisa, she was already chatting and laughing with her sister-in-law Olive.

He also showed little concern for his younger brother, Leo.

Leo wasn't surprised at all; in his memory, his older brother and sister were just like that, completely unfamiliar with him.

"Has your cultivation fallen behind?" the Baron asked.

"It's alright," Leo replied dismissively.

Lisa then turned to her younger brother and teased, "What kind of standard is 'okay'? Have you awakened your Holy Light Battle Aura yet? You're only 'okay'? Leo, you're already sixteen. You don't have many days left to waste."

Upon hearing this, Madam Cecilia immediately became worried: "Yes, Leo, you'd better try harder."

All eyes were on Leo.

The eldest brother, Neander, had a slight upturn at the corners of his mouth, with a hint of amusement; Lisa, on the other hand, had a smug look of glee, happy to tease her younger brother; Madame Sandra squinted her eyes, looking very kind; and the Baron frowned, seemingly lost in thought.

Uncle Lishike cast a sympathetic glance his way.

He was also the second son of the family, so he understood all too well how Leo felt at this moment—a kind of oppression caused by being firmly bound by talent and status.

An inescapable fate.

"Uh..." Leo didn't want to be too high-profile, but being teased like this by his older sister Lisa was even an insult.

A fire quickly ignited in his heart.

Her tone was no longer gentle and refined, but rather seven parts cold and three parts sarcastic: "I'm sorry to have worried you, sister, but you don't need to worry. I have already awakened the Holy Light Battle Aura."

He paused for a moment.

Before anyone could react, he smiled at Lisa and said, "Moreover, the Holy Light has blessed me and bestowed upon me an elf insect, making me realize that I also possess a faint, almost imperceptible, affinity for the Holy Light elements."

Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent.

Everyone was stunned by this news.

Lisa was even more incredulous, staring wide-eyed and gesturing with her hands: "Are you kidding me, Leo?!"

Franken, who was sitting a little further away, finally found an opportunity to loudly defend Leo: "Miss Lisa, what Young Master Leo said is true. The Holy Light favors the Glowing Mushroom family. Young Master Leo not only escaped danger but also received the Holy Light's favor many times."

He approached the sofa and fawned over Madam Cecilia: "Madam, your children and grandchildren are all geniuses. When young master Leo stepped into the swamp manor, spirit insects fell from the oak tree at the gate... As soon as the moon rose in the morning, holy light and battle aura accompanied the longsword's bloom..."

It's just a regular contract or promotion.

His description of the dramatic ups and downs almost portrayed Leo as a chosen one, showered with holy light.

Leo watched Frankenstein's performance quietly.

My eyes swept across the faces of my family members, and seeing their surprised expressions, I felt a strange sense of satisfaction at being proven wrong.

"I'm not showing off..."

"This is what I owe 'Leo'..."

He sighed inwardly, realizing that his predecessor had been an insignificant nobody who longed to be in the limelight, but circumstances had prevented it.

Now Leo has done it for him.

Grandma Cecilia exclaimed excitedly, "My God, it's truly a blessing from the Holy Light! Our family's most handsome young man has successfully crossed the sea and become a transcendent knight, and in the future, he will be a Knight of Light!"

She beckoned Leo over, then took his hand and patted it vigorously, saying, "Grandma is so proud of you."

Neant abandoned his gloating and began to look at his younger brother seriously for the first time.

Lisa frowned, her gaze towards Leo still filled with hostility, seemingly disbelieving him at all.

Mrs. Sandra still squinted her eyes kindly, but the fingers on her hands resting on her lap were a little tense.

The Baron stared intently at Leo.

As for Uncle Lix, his smile suddenly turned bitter. He had thought it was a resonance between the two sons, but it turned out to be just wishful thinking on his part. Although they were both second sons, Leo's future was clearly much brighter than his.

Knights of Light!

Even setting aside his identity as a knight, his mere identity as a priest already ensures that Leo will definitely be valued by the Baron.

Because priests represent countless Light Plants, Light Plants are the most important strategic resource on the Eternal Night Continent.

"Leo, let me see your battle aura," Lisa suddenly spoke up, "and your holy light."

The Baron nodded slightly.

Madam Cecilia smiled and said, "Let everyone see, and then have your father prepare a celebratory banquet for you. This is an honor for the Glowing Fungus family. Our family has many knights, but priests have always been scarce!"

Leo sat on the sofa and first cast a Holy Light spell.

As holy light gradually gathered in his palm, no one doubted that Leo had become a trainee priest.

Leo then clenched his fist, and another white light swirled around it.

Holy Light Battle Aura!

Now, there was no more doubt.

The baron stood up from the sofa, walked over to Leo, patted him hard on the shoulder, and said with a big smile, "Leo, it seems that letting you go out and be granted a fief was the right thing to do. A warm castle can't provide the nourishment for a fledgling to grow."

Leo bowed slightly: "Thank you for your guidance, Father."

"Haha, it's also thanks to your own hard work and the blessings of the Holy Light." The Baron said, looking at Madam Cecilia, "Mother, let's hold a celebration banquet for Leo after your birthday."

Grandma Cecilia said playfully, "Although eating banquets one after another can be tiresome, what's wrong with eating them every day if they're our own family's banquets?"

"Hahahaha." The younger generation laughed heartily in support.

Even Lisa smiled brightly, completely forgetting her earlier "hostility" towards Leo. She pushed her husband Phoenix aside and pulled Leo to sit next to her: "Leo, what gift do you want? Your sister will prepare it for you."

This attitude can be described as initially arrogant but later becoming obsequious.

But in Lisa, it seemed perfectly natural and just like that.

"Give me some food," Leo said casually, not expecting Lisa to give him any valuable gifts.

"Food? You brought so many supplies, and it's still not enough to eat?"

"I plan to buy a batch of serfs to reclaim wasteland, so the more grain the better."

"Alright, I'll send you a batch of stored grain." Lisa nodded, then looked at Phoenix and ordered in a condescending tone, "Phoenix, remember to prepare another batch of serfs to send to Leo as a congratulatory gift."
