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

Holy Light Battle Aura and Holy Light Elements are both manifestations of Holy Light; the power to fight against darkness is Holy Light.

But in the usual sense.

Holy Light Battle Qi is more powerful because it originates from the refinement of the human body itself and can be quickly activated, unleashing powerful destructive force when combined with Battle Qi martial arts techniques.

Therefore, knights are the ruling class of the Eternal Night Continent.

Holy Light requires meditation to gather from the outside world, and then casting Holy Light spells through chanting. This process has a fixed procedure that takes a lot of time, meaning that the pre-cast animation of Holy Light spells is too long.

Therefore.

Priests are primarily used to cultivate plants of light, using holy light spells to stimulate their growth and make them glow.

"Aura-based martial arts techniques are activated quickly with no wind-up; Holy Light spells have a long wind-up, but their power is immense. If a knight and a priest combine their abilities, they can use aura-based martial arts techniques to cast Holy Light spells."

The Light Knight class combines both elements.

Using martial arts techniques to unleash holy light spells is incredibly powerful, with no wind-up animation, effectively doubling combat strength.

"Right now, I'm a prospective Holy Knight... I don't need to worry about the Priest class; as long as I can contract with the Spirit Insect, I'll definitely be able to advance to Rank 1 Priest smoothly. It's just that my talent for the Knight class is a bit too mediocre."

At sixteen years old, he is still in a state of Qi perception.

If you reach the age of eighteen and still cannot break through or awaken the Holy Light Battle Qi.

Once physical development stagnates, awakening battle aura becomes extremely difficult, leaving one destined to remain a trainee knight for life.

"For the sake of being a Knight of Light, I will train diligently!"

"Tomorrow morning, I'll have Pluto arrange my knightly training!"

Leo secretly vowed that he didn't want to sleep yet. Instead, he closed his eyes and meditated silently, absorbing and condensing the free holy light elements from the outside world.

The holy light element is warm; once absorbed into the body, it slowly settles throughout the limbs and bones.

Then, little by little, he repaired his body, which had been nearly drained of its vitality by the Shadow Beast that had pierced through it.

"Shadow Beast..."

The thought of this triggered a surge of fear lingering in Leo's mind, causing his meditation to falter.

He simply stopped meditating.

With my eyes open, I stared at the potted plant by my bedside. It was a pot of lantern peppers, with seventeen or eighteen small, glowing peppers hanging from its tiny branches, like little lanterns providing dim lighting for the room.

The Shadow Beast is a Tier 2 monster.

These monsters that lurk in the darkness are collectively known as Shadow Monsters. Just like humans who cultivate the power of holy light, these monsters contain shadow power within them, which is an evil power that is completely opposite to holy light.

Tier 1 Shadow Monsters are called Monsters, and they are mostly formed from various wild beasts corrupted by Shadow Power.

The second-tier Shadow Monster is called the Shadow Beast.

The Shadow Beast can transform into a shadowy mass in the darkness to attack humans. Its predecessor was simply dozing in a carriage when a shadowy mass pierced its body. In that instant, the chill seeped into its bones, and its life force and mental energy rapidly drained away.

Even their souls were frozen.

Ultimately, it was replaced by time travelers.

"I don't believe it was an accident." Leo took a deep breath, no longer dwelling on whether the attack was an accident.

Whether it was an accident or not, he was determined to become stronger.

Only in this way can we prevent more unexpected events in the future. Although he is just a second son without inheritance rights, who knows how the future will develop? After all, the second son is still the second in line to inherit.

"My dear brother Neander... he wouldn't go so far as to harm me."

"Where is Mrs. Sandra?"

"She is the Baron's second wife, and her son Lipton is only nine years old and third in line to the throne... What if Neant and I both have an accident?" Leo's suspicions about Madame Sandra deepened.

The baron was in his prime.

Mrs. Sandra had many opportunities to wait patiently for Lipton to grow up and challenge for the Baron's succession as the third in line.

"But would she really dare to do that?" Leo frowned. His adoptive father, Baron Lenard, was no fool. On the contrary, Baron Lenard was very shrewd and had many followers in the noble circles of Lancashire.

Moreover, he was blessed with good fortune in military affairs and made many contributions in defeating the shadowy monsters, maintaining border stability, and assisting in national affairs.

Within aristocratic circles, there are vague rumors that Baron Lenard is very likely to be promoted to Earl.

Because the king greatly admired him.

"Nobility places the issue of succession above all else. If Lady Sandra dares to make a move, the Baron will definitely hang her himself."

The more I think about it, the more confused I get.

Leo simply gave up on thinking about it: "Once news of my attack reaches the Glowing Fungus Castle, the Baron will definitely send people to investigate. We'll deal with it then."

He cleared his mind of distractions and meditated intently for an hour.

Feeling his body, which had been emptied by the Shadow Beast, replenished itself and finally he fell asleep peacefully, entering a sweet dreamland.

……

Good morning, little one.

At nine o'clock in the morning, it was still pitch black outside the window, but a new day had already begun.

Leo greeted the sprite insect in the jade box, and the sprite insect raised its head and tilted its head, as if it were greeting Leo in return.

They looked at each other in silence.

But our hearts are connected.

"Oh right, I haven't given you a name yet. From now on, we'll be partners bound by fate, destined to be together for a lifetime... Hmm, I'll call you 'Maokai'." In his past life, Leo liked to play Maokai in the top lane when he played League of Legends.

Maokai, the twisted tree spirit, appears to be transformed from an oak tree.

"Young master, is its name Maokai?" Doris asked, leading her maid Olivia to tidy up the bedding and make the bed.

"Yes."

Leo stretched out his arms.

Doris slipped a somewhat elaborate aristocratic dress onto him and carefully aligned the buttonholes. The older maid, Olivia, was responsible for cleaning and other chores and was not qualified to serve Leo.

"Keep Maokai's matter a secret, understand?" Leo said.

Doris replied, "Mr. Dirk gave instructions early this morning that we servants are not allowed to gossip about anything in your room, young master."

"Yes." Leo nodded.

Butler Decker is an old servant who has worked half his life in a castle like Glow Castle with hundreds of servants. He naturally knows how to manage a small castle like Sunflower Castle with only a few servants, ensuring that nothing goes wrong.

I went downstairs.

Franken was chatting with Harrison and the other knights.

Upon seeing Leo, everyone stood up and greeted him as "Young Master Leo."

"Is Lord Harrison leaving today?" Leo asked. "Won't he stay at the Swamp Manor for a few more days?"

"Haha, no, no," Harrison said with a laugh. "Going back to report to the Glowing Fungus Castle sooner will also allow me to have some free time and reunite with my family."

"Hmm." Leo maintained a cool demeanor. "Master Franken, please see the knights off for me."

"Well then, young master Leo, we'll take our leave now." Harrison and the three pioneer knights left Sunflower Castle.

Franken escorted them all the way to the outside of the manor fence.

Looking back at the small castle bathed in dim light, Harrison couldn't help but sigh. It had taken more than a decade of hard work to build this manor.

However, the Baron issued a transfer order.

He would have to give up the manor and hand over the fruits of his labor of more than a decade to the son of a nobleman.

He was still a good-for-nothing second son, merely a trainee knight.

Harrison, a second-tier Grand Knight, possessed holy light and battle aura covering his entire body, having already achieved the level of aura transformation, allowing him to venture alone into the dark wilderness. Yet, after all these years, he hadn't even managed to acquire the noble title of a lord knight.
