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

Chapter 8 Evening Primrose Flower Language

"I saw a monster lurking in the darkness. The gap in the northern fence has never been plugged. Could the monster break in?"

The evening primrose symbolizes gentleness.

But the interpretation startled Leo; once bitten, twice shy.

So he immediately summoned Pluto: "Lord Pluto, I have a vague unease in my heart. Have your men thoroughly inspect the fence, check for any gaps or deficiencies, and I do not want any breaches in the fence."

Pluto had just inspected the place during the handover yesterday.

But since Leo had already given the order, he didn't say anything more, nodded, and called the knights to go out.

"Aren't our superiors overthinking this?" Bin Laden muttered on horseback. "If there were a gap in the fence, the serfs would have been carried off by the monsters long ago."

Pluto turned around and glared at bin Laden: "Straighten up your attitude, bin Laden!"

"I'm sorry, Knight Commander!" Bin Laden quickly apologized.

Upon arriving at the fence, Pluto instructed two people to work together to inspect the saplings at the base of the fence.

He was alone.

Walking along the fence, observe the area illuminated by each sapling to see if it illuminates the entire fence without leaving any blind spots.

Currently inspecting.

Franken also rode over.

"Lord Frankenstein, is there something you need?" Pluto looked up.

"You check yours. Leo was worried and asked me to check too... You know, yesterday's accident might have scared Leo." Franken followed behind Pluto, not taking it very seriously.

In his opinion, Leo was too nervous.

The swamp manor has been peaceful for so many years without any shadow monsters crossing the border, which shows that the fence is very well built.

Pluto replied, "Since you've given the order, I must check it carefully."

"Haha, it has to be you, Pluto. No wonder the Baron assigned you to Leo as a knight commander. Just for your dutiful attitude, if I were the Baron, I would also leave you to my son."

Franken praised him.

But after hearing this, Pluto's facial muscles twitched involuntarily; if possible, he would never want to follow Leo.

So he remained silent and simply kept checking the fence posts.

Franken was a talkative and restless man. After a moment of silence, he started to chat again: "I have to tell you a secret. Just last night, the oak tree at the entrance of Sunflower Castle attracted a fairy insect."

Pluto looked up: "Really?"

"Of course, and you'd never guess who contracted this sprite insect," Franken boasted.

Pluto frowned: "Could it be you?"

Franken chuckled, "Haha, how could it be me? But Leo did promise that I would be the one to form a contract with the next spirit insect. As for this spirit insect... tsk tsk, it was Leo who formed the contract with it!"

"A contract with the adult?" Pluto asked incredulously. "Doesn't the adult lack affinity for Holy Light elements?"

Franken muttered to himself, "The Holy Light always shows its favor to the world unexpectedly; there are always exceptions, aren't there? Besides, Leo is a descendant of the Glowing Fungus family and the grandson of Count Evening Primrose, so it's only natural that he would be favored by the Holy Light."

Pluto remained silent.

He nodded slowly: "That's how it is."

Nobles are always blessed by the Holy Light, and even if the Holy Light favors ordinary people, nobles will steal the Holy Light's favor.

"So, Pluto, cheer up," Franken laughed.

"I'm very excited."

"You've been looking listless lately, you can't fool anyone." Franken pulled out a piece of candy from somewhere, unwrapped it, popped it into his mouth, and then handed another to Pluto, "Have some candy."

Pluto did not refuse and accepted the candy.

Franken took a sip of his syrup with relish, then said with great enthusiasm, "You might think that staying in the Glowing Fungus Castle gives you a chance to strive, but I think the opposite is true. Venturing out into the world offers more opportunities."

Pluto scoffed, "Where would there be a chance?"

"Aren't these all opportunities?" Franken casually pointed to the darkness beyond the fence. "It's a race to claim territory."

"So what if they're included?"

"So you knights may be strong and robust, but you're not as quick-witted as me," Franken boasted. "Let me tell you, the Baron is wise and powerful. People like you and me might not be able to compete with others and gain the Baron's favor."

He paused, then smiled slyly: "But it's different when we're with Leo. You and I are Leo's right-hand men."

"But... sir, you are merely a lord knight."

The title of lord or knight is the lowest rank of nobility, and they do not have the power to grant fiefs to their subordinates, since their fief is only a small manor.

"That being said, but what if..." Franken trailed off, "...the Baron is promoted to Earl? Wouldn't Leo be able to rise in rank and acquire a baron title? After all, he's the grandson of Earl Evening Primrose!"

Upon hearing this, Pluto opened his mouth.

Although he didn't believe that everything would go so smoothly, a surge of fighting spirit welled up inside him.

Leo might not be that capable.

But Pluto, who considered himself extraordinary, wondered why he couldn't push Leo forward and help him earn a baron title.

At that time, would Leo still be stingy enough to bestow upon him the title of Lord Knight?

noble!

At that moment, Pluto felt a surge of excitement, but he quickly suppressed it, replying coldly, "Don't think too far ahead, Franken. Get to work. The fence is crucial to the safety of the manor; we cannot let our guard down."

After a thorough inspection, the knights reunited and found no defects.

I thought I could go back now.

Pluto, however, ordered in a deep voice: "Check again, and each of you switch areas to check. There must be no slackening."

After saying that, he continued to inspect the fence section by section.

The other four knights, along with Frankenstein, also grumbled and re-examined the area, and this examination actually led Bruto to discover a problem.

"Come here, everyone!"

He gave the signal for the knights to assemble.

This is an overlapping fence built over a dry ditch. The glow of the fluorescent mushrooms can illuminate the fence, but not the ditch below, and the area illuminated avoids the bottom of the ditch.

In other words, if a shadow monster sees this gap, it can easily crawl through the ditch.

They crawled inside the fence.

Then they went on a killing spree.

"This..." This section of the fence was inspected by Bin Laden and Biden together. The two responded awkwardly, "We thought there was water in the ditch. The Shadow Monsters are afraid of water, so we didn't pay much attention..."

Pluto rebuked him sternly: "This is no excuse; any oversight could be fatal!"

The two immediately straightened up and apologized: "We're sorry, Commander!"

Bruto instructed, "Oden, Harden, go to the Magic Crystal Field immediately and have Old Bob, the steward, transplant a few fluorescent mushroom plants over here."

After giving the instructions.

He crouched down and jumped into the ditch to check the bottom. As soon as he touched it, he immediately felt the power of the shadows: "A shadow monster has been wandering around here, probably trying to crawl through the ditch."

"No way, there really is a loophole!" Franken was startled.

"The adults' concerns are valid. If the shadow monsters were to infiltrate, the serfs who are working would certainly suffer."

Fortunately, it was discovered in time.

When Oden and Harden arrived with Bob, the group worked together to plant the fluorescent mushrooms on both sides of the ditch, ensuring that the light could cover the bottom of the ditch, before they finally breathed a sigh of relief.
