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

Upon returning to the manor, Leo took off his Radiant Knight suit and handed it to his servant Thomas to put away.

He rarely went hunting, so he basically didn't need to wear any clothes.

The next morning, Leo returned from the Spring Crystal Field, and the sun mark on his palm happened to provide a warm guidance, pointing towards the farmland of the manor.

It is located in a wheat field.

"Huh, a wheat stalk?" Leo stood on the edge of the field and quickly found the source of the warmth. It was a wheat stalk mixed in with the winter wheat, emitting a faint glow that was quite conspicuous.

Even with crops planted on a large scale, occasionally one or two bare plants may emerge.

Then they are treated as food for bare plants and are not transplanted to the roadside, since they cannot compare to the bare plant varieties that have been cultivated for a long time.

Leo went straight to the field.

Standing before the stalk of wheat, I casually touched a slightly prickly ear of wheat and heard a proud voice say, "I am wheat, I can shine. My brother can't shine, but his ears are heavy, high-quality and high-yielding!"

"Oh, your brother?" Leo looked around at the wheat seedlings by the faint light of the wheat plants.

Most of the wheat ears stand straight and upright.

It's not yet time for the wheat to ripen; it will be more than half a month before it matures. But one of the wheat plants is already bending over with its ears of wheat.

Leo took a closer look and discovered that the wheat plant had many ears of wheat.

Besides the main stem and the ear of wheat, there are eight or nine branch stalks, making a total of ten clusters of wheat ears. Moreover, each cluster of wheat ears is full of plump grains and has a good weight, no wonder the wheat seedlings were all harvested before they were even ripe.

He immediately sent someone to summon John the Big Beard, the farm manager: "John, remember this stalk of wheat, protect it well... never mind, go and call Lucas from the Glimmering Light Group, have him cast the Holy Light spell."

Leo originally planned to wait for the wheat to ripen naturally.

But it's better to just ripen them artificially.

Anyway, with Holy Light, ripening wheat is easy—of course, he only reserved his Holy Light for sunflowers.

"Young Master Leo."

"Lucas, come, cast Holy Light to ripen this wheat," Leo commanded.

As soon as Lucas finished casting the Holy Light spell, the heavy wheat stalks ripened without anyone noticing.

"John."

"Young Master Leo, please give your orders."

"This wheat plant has excellent traits, with a full nine tillers. I want you to cultivate it and develop a new high-yielding, high-quality wheat variety." Leo assigned the task. "Can you do it?"

John the Bearded immediately patted his chest and assured him, "Young Master Leo, don't worry. I've spent my whole life dealing with crops, and I'll definitely take good care of this wheat plant so that its seeds can fill the entire swamp estate."

"Lucas, while you're cultivating light-producing plants, your Light Group should also help John cultivate new wheat varieties as soon as possible."

"Yes, Master Leo," Lucas replied.

"Young Master Leo, why don't you give this new wheat a name?" the bearded John said ingratiatingly.

Under the light of the lantern, the heavy wheat seedlings were golden yellow.

Leo raised an eyebrow and said, "Then let's call it... Golden Wheat. I'll reward you handsomely if you cultivate Golden Wheat as soon as possible."

Just as he was about to leave, the male servant Thomas rode up on horseback: "Young master, a caravan has arrived from Thousand Tent Hills and would like to borrow a place in the manor to set up a stall and sell their goods. They hope to obtain your permission."

"A caravan from the Thousand Tent Hills?" Leo asked in surprise.

However, he quickly came to terms with it, as several caravans would pass by the Swamp Manor every year, since it was located next to the Glimmering Road.

"Let them in."

"Yes, young master."

Thomas rushed back.

When Leo returned to the castle, a circle of stalls had already been set up in the castle square, stalls made from horse-drawn carriages.

The unemployed serfs had already gathered around the stalls, selecting goods.

Of course, many people look, but few buy.

The serfs didn't have much money in their pockets.

"Leo," Franken approached, "It's rare to see a caravan. Would you like to browse around and buy something?"

"Hmm, let's take a look."

Leo simply had Butler Decker summon all the servants in the castle and give them all a half-day off, so they could buy whatever they wanted.

He himself, accompanied by Butler Dirk and Franken, went from stall to stall.

"My lord, I sell all kinds of ironware here: hoes, sickles, axes, nails, horseshoes, pots, kettles, kitchen knives, scissors..." the shopkeeper enthusiastically promoted his goods.

Leo glanced around and moved on to the next stall.

The stalls sold salt, cured meat, and pickled vegetables. Many serfs bought salt and pickled vegetables, but were reluctant to buy cured meat.

Behind them were stalls selling fabrics, oils and waxes, trinkets, herbs and ointments, spices, furs and leather goods, wine and honey, paper and ink, dried fruits and nuts, dyes...

There was even a carousel stall, which unfolded into a carousel for children to play on.

Unfortunately, the serfs were too poor, and no family could afford to let their child ride the carousel.

The boss sat on a small stool, looking melancholy.

After browsing through all the stalls, Leo looked at the empty carousel stall and suddenly said with a smile, "Teacher Franken, spread the word that all children under the age of fourteen in the manor will be invited to ride the carousel."

"You are so generous and kind!" Franken praised.

Leo pointed at the owner: "Discuss the price with the owner first, it's a one-time private event, not a price for each seat."

"Of course, of course, merciful lord!" The shopkeeper jumped up from his stool. "The caravan plans to stay at your manor for a day. If you have the whole place to yourself, it'll only cost ten silver coins!"

"Five!" Franken bargained.

The boss immediately nodded: "Deal!"

Franken immediately frowned: "Damn it, we didn't cut enough!"

Leo smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. Go and inform all the farmers."

A moment later, the children in the manor cheered and shouted "Praise be to Master Leo!" and "Praise be to the Holy Light!" as they ran over to ride the carousel.

"You are always so generous and kind." Butler Dirk looked at the happy children and smiled sincerely.

Leo stood with his hands behind his back and smiled faintly: "It's just a little money. It's quite interesting to watch the children play happily, isn't it?"

"Yes," Dirk the butler remarked.

A hint of sadness seemed to flash across his eyes, but Leo didn't notice it.

By evening, the caravan was still setting up stalls, but there were hardly any customers browsing them anymore.

The serfs had bought everything they needed; the rest they either didn't want to buy or couldn't afford.

"It's time to pack up and go." The caravan manager took out his pocket watch and glanced at it. "We'll stay at the Swamp Manor tonight, and set off early tomorrow morning to sell the remaining goods in the Glowing Town."

At this moment, Leo walked over with Butler Dirk and Butler Ramos: "Wait a minute, I still have something to buy."

"Your Excellency, please." The steward immediately stopped packing up the stall.

Leo walked up to the first stall selling ironware and casually waved his hand, saying, "Boss, let's settle the bill. I'll buy all the ironware on this stall."

"Huh?" The stall owner was stunned.

But she quickly regained her composure and exclaimed with delight, "My lord, are you... are you sure you want them all?"

"I want them all." Leo waved his hand. "Ramos, you settle the bill with the boss."

He strolled over to the second stall, the one selling salt and cured meat: "You too, I'll buy all of these."

The stall owner was overjoyed: "Yes, yes, esteemed lord, I will settle your account right away."

Seeing this, the remaining stall owners all looked over expectantly, and Leo waved his hand at each stall, shouting, "I'll buy them all!"

Stock up!

Swamp Manor has no shortage of money, only a shortage of supplies. This wave is to fill the increasingly empty warehouses of Sunflower Castle.
