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

The swamp crocodiles in the pool are already over five meters long and are still climbing, clearly not yet at their limit.

Leo investigated it.

The crocodiles in this swamp area are on average about five meters long. This swamp crocodile, however, has clearly broken its growth limit after being illuminated by the holy light and has the potential to grow to six or even seven meters in length.

"They're similar to saltwater crocodiles on Earth."

Looking at the swamp crocodile lazily bathing in the holy light, its tail swishing back and forth in the pool, Leo was very satisfied with one thing: the swamp crocodile's limbs were longer, thicker, and more flexible than those of ordinary crocodiles.

This makes it better adapted to crawling on land.

Unlike ordinary crocodiles, they do not appear very clumsy when crawling on the ground.

"Such a majestic crocodile, possessed by a phantom beast, is indeed a rather cool vehicle." Leo examined it carefully, imagining himself riding a swamp crocodile. "But... Vanessa is a female knight, riding a crocodile... isn't very elegant."

but.

Who cares? He's still a Beast Knight, the pinnacle of knights.

In the entire White Rose Kingdom, although there is a giant dragon, there are no knights. Therefore, the third-tier phantom beast knight is the ceiling of the kingdom's knights' combat power.

"Oh right, I don't think I've named the swamp crocodile yet?" Leo suddenly remembered that he had been raising the big guy for a month, just calling it "crocodile, crocodile" without ever thinking of giving it a name.

He pondered for a moment, then had an inspiration: "Swamp crocodile is the species name. Judging from your tail-wagging enthusiasm and the holy light you've been bathed in, you've already mutated. Let's give you a separate scientific name... Dog Crocodile!"

The swamp crocodile, unaware of what was happening, simply kept wagging its tail in the pool.

Leo found the name "Dog Crocodile" to be very fitting; this large crocodile, though seemingly fierce, was actually just a lapdog.

"And then, your name will be Big Black." Since the dog-crocodile was entirely black, Leo simply called it Big Black. "Big Black, remember that, from now on you'll be called Big Black. Come on, Big Black, answer me!"

After several calls.

The crocodile seemed to have truly understood that Big Black was its name.

As soon as Leo called Big Black, it would happily climb out of the pool and follow Leo around on the lawn.

Its thick and long limbs allow it to run like a dog.

Leo took a stroll around and then suddenly had a whim: "Big Black, give me a ride."

Then he plopped down on Big Black's back, but as soon as he sat down, he jumped up again: "No, the scales are hurting my butt."

The dog-crocodile, Dahei, has raised scales on its back, like sharp thorns.

"Mr. Dirk."

"Young Master, I'm here."

"Bring me a thick cushion."

When Butler Dirk brought over a thick cushion, Leo immediately placed it on the back of the dog-crocodile, Big Black. Now, riding on it, he finally didn't feel any discomfort on his bottom.

Moreover, when Big Black lies on the ground, its belly is round and plump, making its back appear very broad. But when it crawls on the ground, its belly droops down, and its back immediately becomes narrower, similar to the back of the Light and Shadow Warhorse, making it very suitable for riding.

However, the big black dog-crocodile wasn't used to it; as soon as Leo mounted it, it stopped moving.

"Um, Young Master Leo, what made you decide to ride a crocodile?" Old Knight Rhodes, having finished training the children, came over and immediately frowned. "This big guy looks imposing, but it's not fast..."

Before he could finish speaking...

Leo had already channeled the holy light and fighting spirit within him into the body of the dog-crocodile, Big Black.

Energized by the Holy Light Battle Qi, the dog-crocodile Dahei shuddered and immediately took off running on all fours.

At 70 miles per hour, I felt carefree and relaxed.

It circled the castle lawn again and again, and in terms of both speed and endurance, it was no less than the Light and Shadow Warhorse.

In terms of momentum, it was as if they had unleashed a devastating attack.

He exudes an aura of dominance.

"Ah..." The old knight Rhodes opened his mouth, "It can actually be ridden?"

The serfs at the nearby fortified village construction site were drawn to the scene and pointed and whispered in this direction.

The castle servants also stood at the entrance, peering out curiously.

A moment later, Pluto, Harrison, and other knights were also drawn over. Looking at Leo riding on the back of the dog-crocodile, looking majestic... yet somewhat comical, they exchanged glances, unsure of what to think.

Once Leo had had his fill of riding, he patted the back of the big black dog-crocodile and stopped channeling his holy light battle aura.

At this moment, Big Black suddenly stopped in front of everyone. The sudden braking effect was amazing, and its huge size showed its ferocious and domineering aura.

"Sir, what's going on?" Pluto asked cautiously.

Leo shrugged it off, grinning broadly: "I wanted to try what it felt like to ride a crocodile. It feels pretty good now. This dog-crocodile—oh right, that's what I call the Holy Light Crocodile. Its name is Big Black."

"What an amazing scene, wow!" Franken squeezed in as well, never wanting to miss any excitement.

"Will you ride it into battle, sir?" Harrison asked.

"Perhaps," Leo gave an ambiguous response. "Knights aren't limited to riding warhorses, right? I remember there were quite a few knights who rode bulls, pigs, tigers, leopards, and lions, and there were even more mythical beast knights."

Leo's father, Baron Linard, rode a leopard—his mythical beast was a glowing leopard, which did not require a vehicle and could be ridden directly.

That's what I mean.

The knights could understand, but looking at the giant crocodile in front of them, they were still a little confused for a while.

After all, in most people's common sense, crocodiles live in water...

"Alright, there's nothing to see here. Go back to your own business." Leo waved the onlookers away.

He continued to ride the dog-crocodile, Big Black, for training and getting used to it.

We will strive to train Big Black into a trustworthy and intuitive mount as soon as possible, in preparation for what's to come.

In the next few days.

Every day, Leo would ride his big black horse out of the manor and wait around the pond where the water lily plants were located.

Unfortunately, the duckweed otter did not appear.

The flower meanings these past few days haven't been very effective either; they've just been some boring nonsense.

For example, a moss plant might be lamenting, "Those ants over there carrying bread crumbs are moving so slowly, I'm getting sleepy just watching them."

For example, a newly transplanted sunflower plant might be muttering to itself, "I am a street lamp, illuminating thousands of homes."

There were still two days in between when the flower language wasn't even triggered.

However, on June 20th, early in the morning, a familiar warm guidance came from the sun's mark, pointing to the water lily plant in the pond. This was the fourth time the water lily plant had triggered its flower language.

Leo rode the big black dog-crocodile straight to the pool, then touched the water lily plant: "Miss Vanessa is coming. She always fantasizes about a dragon knight pursuing her... Her phantom beast is suffering because of this. Perhaps, this is an encounter destined by the Holy Light."

"Um?"

Leo was both surprised and delighted.

I'm happy to finally meet Vanessa Floating, but I'm also surprised by what's wrong with this girl? She's fantasizing about a dragon knight pursuing her?

"This isn't just being love-struck, it's hysteria!"
