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

Adding a single ash tree is not enough to transform Sunflower Castle into a castle of light like Fluorescent Mushroom Castle.

But the brightness will definitely be a step up.

Pluto, accompanied by four patrolling knights led by Auden, sped all the way to the Glowing Fungus Castle, quickly persuaded Reverend Lamar to come, and then sped back to the Swamp Manor, covering a round trip of over a hundred kilometers in just half a day.

At the end of the day, around dusk, Lamar arrived before Leo.

"Your Excellency Lamar, you must be tired from your journey."

"It's all for the sake of the Glowing Mushroom family, so what's a little hardship?" Lamar smiled. "Young Master Leo truly lives up to his reputation as the most favored by the Holy Light; he actually managed to light up a giant tree of light in the wild!"

"Yes, praise be to the holy light!"

"Praise be to the Holy Light."

No need for any excuses, just praise the Holy Light. In the Eternal Night Continent, humans believe that everything is a gift from the Holy Light.

Without even entering the castle, the group, led by Leo, headed straight for the location of the white ash tree.

Actually, once you step outside the fence, you can see that shimmering ash tree.

It was far away, but very bright.

"What a beautiful, luminous tree!" Lamar exclaimed. "It must be several decades old, about the same age as the luminous linden tree in front of your castle, Young Master Leo. Its accumulation of holy light is quite profound."

Leo nodded: "Indeed, it's much brighter than a normal tree."

present.

Pastor Lamar began casting the Reverse Light spell, and after the holy light was spread, the ash trees began to grow in reverse at a speed visible to the naked eye.

It shrank to a height of four or five meters in a short while.

Without even digging, the knights could pull out the loose "small" ash tree stalks by working together.

They carefully carried it onto the carriage.

Leo was about to lead the team back when he suddenly spotted the cluster of gourd moss plants nearby and called out, "Wait a minute."

Then he went over himself and carefully used a small shovel to dig up the clump of gourd moss.

This cluster of gourd moss is a "partner" of the white ash moss.

Leo, being kind-hearted, couldn't bear to separate his two little friends, so he simply took the gourd moss plant back and planted it next to the ash tree plant. Perhaps the two plants would feel grateful and inspire many new flower meanings.

The team returned.

The serfs working on the fortified village, upon seeing the gleaming ash tree, shouted praises of the holy light and of Young Master Leo.

People who grow up in darkness all yearn for the light.

The brighter the swamp estate was, the happier the people were.

The planting location for the bare ash trees has been chosen; it will be located behind Sunflower Fort, about 250 meters away.

In this way, with the linden trees in front and the ash trees behind, these two large, decades-old trees can completely illuminate the entire fortress, ensuring that the light will forever reside in Sunflower Fortress and never be extinguished.

"How beautiful!" Franken exclaimed in amazement. "Leo, I feel as if I've glimpsed Sunflower Castle, destined to become the next Castle of Light!"

"Yes, it will," Leo said frankly. "More and more luminous plants will bloom and flourish around Sunflower Castle."

He squatted down and, about twenty meters away from the pit where the tree was planted, dug a hole and planted a gourd moss plant.

Let these two light-spotted partners continue to be together.

They even had the gardener, Raof, come over and cast a holy light spell on the Gourd Moss Plant as a reward.

the other side.

As Pastor Lamar performed his spell, the planted ash trees rapidly expanded, quickly regaining their former glory of over ten meters in height. The light emanating from them shone on the serfs, eliciting cheers from the crowd.

In the castle's backyard, a group of serfs were also working.

Upon seeing the radiant glow emanating from the ash tree, the serfs stopped and knelt down to kowtow before it.

A devout prayer.

Pray that the Holy Light will favor me, favor the Swamp Manor, and favor Young Master Leo.

"Young Master Leo, what are you doing here?" Lamar asked curiously, looking at the dirt being dug up in the backyard of the castle.

"Build a small outer fortress. Sunflower Fortress is too small and not enough to live in anymore," Leo said with a smile. Then he said to Butler Dirk, "Bring down my elf insect Maokai. I have another idea."

Butler Decker quickly brought down a small jade box.

The jade box was opened, and the sleeping elf insect Maokai opened its eyes, crawled into Leo's palm, and lay down.

I was about to fall asleep again.

Leo quickly patted the little guy: "Maokai, don't rush to sleep, come on, put away the oak tree cordyceps."

Maokai's small eyes blinked, looking somewhat dazed.

Perhaps because it had just woken up, it still obediently opened its mouth and took a breath of air around the fiery red oak tree.

In an instant, the oak tree and the cordyceps began to tremble violently, and its branches, leaves, and trunk quickly transformed into a ball of red light. The red light then rapidly condensed into a small cluster of flames, which were sucked into Maokai's little mouth and disappeared.

A large crater was left behind.

The fiery red light in front of the castle gate dissipated, but the glow of the linden trees in the distance filled the void.

"Do you want to transplant the Cordyceps militaris?" Lamar asked curiously.

"There are linden trees in front and ash trees behind, so my oak tree cordyceps doesn't need to glow anymore. Plus, the oak tree cordyceps has grown bigger, so I'm moving it to a new place, into the yard."

The courtyard between the inner and outer fortresses needed the light just right.

Oak-grown Cordyceps is the best choice.

Maokai spat out a small flame, which flew out and landed in the center of the courtyard. It seemed to leap up like a ball of fire, rapidly growing into the outline of a large tree. When the flames subsided, a fiery red oak tree was revealed.

It is about five meters tall, with its branches and leaves spreading out, like a canopy.

"I remember when we first came to Swamp Manor, this oak tree was only a little over three meters tall. How long has it been? It's already over five meters tall, almost as tall as a two-story building," Butler Dirk exclaimed, marveling at the oak tree's incredible growth rate.

In just over a month, it grew more than two meters tall.

This is the magic of Cordyceps militaris.

In the foreseeable future, the Oak Tree Cordyceps will continue to grow rapidly. As long as Leo and Maokai can continue to improve, the Holy Light will help the Cordyceps grow rapidly and become a large tree like the Linden Tree Cordyceps or the Ash Tree Cordyceps.

Moreover, the potential of Cordyceps militaris is even greater; Cordyceps militaris from oak trees may even break through the limits of the tree itself and grow into a towering tree.

"Lord Lamar, what are the limits of an oak tree's height and size?" Leo asked.

"The maximum height of an oak tree is about thirty-five meters, but it would take at least several hundred years to grow to that height," Lamar said. "I once saw an oak tree in Lancashire that had grown to fifty meters tall."

"Fifty meters high?" Leo exclaimed in astonishment.

“Yes, fifty meters tall,” Lamar added. “Oh, I misspoke. It’s not an oak tree with caterpillar fungus, but an oak tree with flowering plants.”

The luminous cordyceps is a luminous plant that lives in symbiosis with the elf insect.

The Guangzhu Flower and Grass is a Guangzhu that coexists with the Flower Fairy, and is an advanced form of Guangzhu Cordyceps.
