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

After the newly arrived serfs finished their meal of black bread and thick soup, Frankenstein assigned them to dig the foundations for the fortified village.

But there weren't enough tools, so the serfs had to take turns.

Ramos easily arranged for a group of serfs to come with a few shovels and begin digging a pool near the oak tree at the castle gate.

This pool doesn't need to be very deep; half a meter is enough.

So at 8:30 p.m., the large pool was dug, and Ramos then arranged for the serfs to take buckets to fetch water and fill the pool.

When Leo returned from casting his spell in the Magic Crystal Field greenhouse, he saw the swamp crocodile lying comfortably in the large pool.

His head rested on a rock by the pool.

From afar, serfs peered in this direction, and many of them appeared terrified upon seeing the ferocious crocodile head.

On the contrary, the servants in the castle had become accustomed to the swamp crocodiles, and some even secretly brought breadcrumbs to feed them. The swamp crocodiles accepted everything, even the smallest breadcrumbs.

"Good dog."

Leo patted the crocodile's head and went back to his small study on the second floor. After sitting quietly for a while, Butler Dirk came over with half a bottle of his prized wine.

"Young Master."

"Sit down, Mr. Dirk."

Butler Decker poured two glasses of wine, and the master and servant clinked glasses, savoring the taste of the fine vintage.

"The castle has been a bit chaotic these past few days. The new servants are still in their internships, and Mrs. Abby has had to ask a lot of maids to help out," Butler Dirk said, half reporting and half chatting. "The public and private accounts are all mixed up, which is getting a bit too messy."

"How so?"

"What I'm thinking is, should we separate the public and private accounts? The castle can't possibly keep supplying food indefinitely."

Leo nodded.

Butler Decker continued, "Moreover, the goods in those dozens of carriages are all your personal property, young master. It's perfectly fine to use them for castle construction and training knights, but as for the serfs, the accounts still need to be kept."

"That makes sense," Leo agreed. "Tell Franken to double-check the accounts."

"Then who should keep the books?" Butler Dirk suggested. "I think Ramos would be a good fit. I've seen his ledgers from when he was the butler at the villa. The entries are very clear. Maybe he could do the bookkeeping."

"Perfect timing. I was just thinking of finding something for Ramos to do, so you can assign him this accounting task."

"Yes, young master."

Having finished discussing business, Leo picked up some stories from the Glowing Mushroom Castle and shared them with Butler Dirk.

They didn't say goodnight until they had comfortably finished half a bottle of wine, and then went back to sleep.

The next day, Leo was awakened by a commotion. The serfs at the fortified site were already busy, with shouts, slogans, arguments, and children crying all around.

"Although it's noisy, it has a real sense of life." Leo went out and went to the open space in the backyard.

Take knight lessons here, train with the old knight Rhodes and Camille.

When Leo arrived, Rod was already instructing Camille in training, and the two, one old and one young, were training together harmoniously.

"Alright, Camille, you can practice on your own now." Rod immediately abandoned Camille and trained with Leo.

As a great knight, his battle aura has evolved into battle spirit, which can spread throughout his entire body.

Even with Leo's enhanced Secret Technique - Heart of Steel, his defense couldn't match the Great Knight's Battle Aura, resulting in a one-sided battle. While the Secret Technique could indeed propel Leo's strength forward, it represented a significant leap across realms, making it far too difficult to overcome higher levels.

"Alright, alright, Lord Rhodes, you should rest for a while. I'll practice with Camille for a bit." Leo said, feeling a little frustrated.

Begin backward compatibility.

Camille remained fearless, gripping her longsword tightly with both hands, and launched a desperate attack on Leo. However, she had not awakened her battle aura, and her moves were simple, relying solely on physical strength without the power of holy light, making her attacks ineffective.

Even Leo's secret technique - Heart of Steel - couldn't stack it up.

However, as the fight progressed, Leo realized something was wrong. Camille was acting like a mad tiger, entering a state of frenzy.

"Is he about to awaken his Holy Light Battle Aura?" Leo exclaimed in surprise.

However, he quickly came to terms with it. Camille was a genius knight who had developed a sense of qi without any prior training, and he had been training for almost half a month now.

It's time to wake up.

He slowed down the pace and began to focus on defense, guiding Camille to unleash his full potential. When Leo first awakened, it was during a series of exhilarating attacks that he completely unleashed his body's potential.

A moment later, Camille roared, and white light suddenly emanated from his longsword.

pat!

The Heart Steel armor stacked in front of Leo perfectly blocked the attack, and then he swung his sword to repel Camille, who was starting to look bewildered.

Camille plopped down on the ground, then opened his mouth wide and grinned foolishly, "Sir, I feel so hot and comfortable! There's a warm current flowing through me, it feels so good, I feel so good!"

"Alright, alright, keep your voice down." Leo rolled her eyes; anyone who didn't know better would think something was wrong with her.

He then smiled and said, "Congratulations, Camille, from now on you are officially promoted to knight."

"Knight!" Camille looked at his hands. "I have Holy Light Aura!"

Seeing Camille grinning to himself, Leo was also very happy, which meant that a full squad of knights had been formed in the Swamp Manor.

The twelve knights took their positions.

That evening, Pluto and his men escorted the convoy back, bringing back all the serfs who had been stranded at the Glowing Mushroom Farm.

There was also a scattered group of serfs who, along with guests who needed to bring gifts, migrated from their own estates.

Along with this group of serfs arrived a large number of tools.

Leo commissioned Knight Commander Harrison to purchase almost all the tools in the town of Glowing, including shovels, hoes, sickles, pliers, carrying poles, buckets, and more, and also ordered even more tools from the blacksmith.

Once the tools were distributed, the serfs no longer needed to work in shifts.

"You've worked hard, knights," Leo said with a smile. "It's a good day that Camille has been promoted to knight. Tonight, we'll hold a grand banquet at Sunflower Castle to celebrate Camille's promotion and reward you all."

Before the banquet began, Leo sensed the sun's mark, triggering the language of flowers once again.

The source of warmth leads to the guest rooms on the third floor of the castle.

"Hmm, the guest room on the third floor, is it a sunflower plant or a hyacinth plant? Could it be that the Countess is coming?" Leo was excited and rushed to the third floor. He quickly located the source: a sunflower plant.

This is the third time this wild sunflower plant has triggered its flower language.

Leo touched the flowerpot with anticipation, and then heard a warm voice say, "The breeze is so nice today, I feel like yawning over the flowerpot."

"Um?"

"Um?"

"Um?"

Leo asked three questions in a row, then remained silent as he looked at the bare sunflower.

The first time, this sunflower was bare, pretending to be the sun; the second time, this sunflower was bare, teasing Leo for missing the Countess; but unexpectedly, the third time it was still nonsense, wanting to yawn!

"Pull it up!" Leo shouted angrily, pointing at the bare sunflower plant. "Pull it up! Believe me or not, I'll pull it up right now!"
