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

Chapter 88 Whispers of the Shadows (Tenth Update)

On the last day of June, Leo looked at the sun mark in his palm, which had been fully charged, but found that it was still not moving.

"A few days ago, I gave some meaningless flower meanings, but today I can't even trigger the flower meanings at all—could it be that I've already plucked all the sunflower plants in the Swamp Manor bald and they're too scared to speak?" He thought of the sunflower bonsai.

He had already picked the last handful of sunflower seeds.

After finishing the honey, I was still in the stage of surging battle qi, which is the late stage of a first-tier knight. I was still quite far from the perfect stage of a first-tier knight with dense battle qi. Even after finishing two jars of holy light honey, I still wouldn't reach that level.

Ascetic practices are too slow.

All we can do is wait patiently until we stumble upon a flower whose symbolism can rapidly increase our fighting spirit, at which point we can become rich overnight.

"Let's go, Lord Rhodes." Leo mounted his horse.

The old knight Rhodes teased, "My lord, isn't Miss Vanessa coming today?"

"Ahem." Leo waved his hand. "I've already told her that she doesn't need to come over for help these next couple of days."

Vanessa has been busy day and night these past few days surveying groundwater. Rhodes and the others have witnessed her relationship with Leo, and it's inevitable that they'll have some presumptuous thoughts about it.

of course.

Although it wasn't exactly what they expected, it wasn't far off.

The two mounted their luminous warhorses and left the swamp manor, heading straight for the glowing mushroom castle. For safety on the road, Leo had already changed into his luminous knight suit, which glowed directly on the road.

The dazzling light resembled a large lantern.

The dimly lit road was brightly illuminated.

The distance of one or two hundred kilometers was easily covered by the Light and Shadow Warhorse in three hours. He signaled to the old knight Rhodes to go to the Glowing Fungus Castle to report the news first, while Leo himself went to the administrative office of the Glowing Town and found the administrator Falco.

Falcao is an elderly Rank 1 knight, a confidant of Baron Linard.

Despite having only average abilities, they managed to keep the Glowing Town in excellent order.

"Young Master Leo, what brings you here?" Falcao welcomed Leo into his office and had tea made.

The host and guests took their seats and exchanged pleasantries for a while.

Leo got straight to the point: "Lord Falco, my territory is lacking officials, especially clerks who can write and do arithmetic, so I hope to receive a batch of clerks from the Glowing Town government."

"Well—Young Master Leo, there aren't many clerks in this town government who can read and do math—"

"Lord Falcao!" Leo emphasized, "Do you really have to ask my father to intervene before you'll help?"

Falcogan chuckled twice: "Young Master Leo, there's really no other way; everywhere is short of clerks and minor officials."

Leo understood.

This administrator, Falcao, had either sided with his elder brother Neander or with Lady Sandra, and was no longer a confidant of the Baron.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to make things difficult for Leo.

"Very well, very well, Falcao." Leo left the office with a sullen face, no longer wanting to make a fool of himself.

Standing on the street, looking at the bustling town, I felt very unhappy.

Just then, the sun mark on his palm sent a warm, guiding sensation through him, which made him feel much better: "Heh, I am indeed only the second son of the baron's family, and I was enfeoffed early on, but who knows what the future holds?"

He mounted his steed, a warhorse of light and shadow, and trotted a few steps.

Soon, following the warm guidance, we arrived in front of a building, which was the Holy Light Monastery of the town.

A place for worshipping the Holy Light and training pastors.

Many jasmine plants were planted at the entrance of the monastery, probably at the behest of Madame Sandra, who loved jasmine. Jasmine plants were also displayed on the balcony of the main bedroom in the castle.

Mrs. Sandra would come to the monastery to pray every week.

After dismounting, Leo reached out and touched a jasmine plant that was the source of the warmth. The next moment, a small voice rang out: "Don't trust that priest in the white dress; her prayers are mixed with the whispers of shadows."

"Hmm?" Leo asked in surprise.

A look of surprise flashed across his face, followed by delight: "Whispers of the Shadows, huh? A priest actually colluding with the Shadows—Sanchez, Sandra, the monastery—even under the Holy Light, filth can be hidden!"

He knocked on the door.

Soon a woman in a nun's uniform opened the door: "Excuse me—oh, it's young master Leo, please come in."

""

"I come to church," Leo smiled.

He is a novice priest, a devout believer of the Holy Light, and a messenger of the Holy Light in the eternal night. It is only natural for him to come to the monastery to worship.

The nun quickly invited Leo inside.

The monastery wasn't very large, and it was almost entirely filled with nuns dressed in black dresses. Leo looked around and offered a brief prayer before the sacred treasures enshrined in the main hall—the Crown of Thorns, the Elf Insect, and the Holy Light Sword.

It was dealt with hastily and perfunctorily.

Leo then began to wander around the monastery, passing by room by room, looking for the priest in the white dress.

Finally, in the attic, they saw a nun wearing a white dress.

年纪约莫五十来岁—一1阶牧师、1阶骑士、2阶大骑士都没有青春永驻的神奇力量，只有晋升2阶主教、3阶幻兽骑士，才能永葆青春。

"Beatrice?" Leo recognized the priest. As the second son of the Glowing Fungus family, he naturally knew all the priests the family worshipped. "It seems that she is the only one in the entire monastery wearing a white dress."

"

It is highly likely that the priest who colluded with the shadows is Beatrice.

Leo was still thinking of sneaking closer to hear if there were any whispers of shadows in the other's prayer.

But Beatrice was alert and sensed someone approaching. She turned around and saw it was Leo. She smiled and greeted him calmly, "Young Master Leo, weren't you on your fiefdom? It's rare to meet you at the monastery."

"I'm also a novice pastor. I came to town on some business and took the opportunity to pray to the Holy Light at the monastery."

"I've heard about what happened to you. It's truly a blessing from the Holy Light. You've made a pact with the Incarnation of the Holy Light, and you're sure to become an extraordinary priest in the future," Beatrice said in a tone reminiscent of an elder.

They probably mistook Leo for an ordinary sixteen-year-old boy.

"The Holy Light shines on everyone," Leo laughed.

Beatrice nodded: "Yes, the Holy Light is merciful and loves all people—Young Master Leo, the place of worship is in the main hall. Why did you come to the attic? This is not a good place to pray."

"Did I just see you praying?" Leo asked tentatively.

"Yes, I thought that the higher the place, the greater the chance that the holy light would be heard, so I got into the habit of praying in the attic."

With that, Beatrice turned to leave.

Leo watched her departing figure, activating Knight's Sense and Shadow Sense to their maximum, but he couldn't detect any evil aura.

Beatrice was surrounded by a dense holy light.

"Regardless, I believe in the symbolism of jasmine flowers. This Beatrice is definitely in cahoots with Sanchez and Mrs. Sandra. She even created the gap in the fluorescent mushrooms on the 'Dim Light Road'!"

"Don't rush, take your time!"

"We'll wipe you all out sooner or later!"

Shaking his head, Leo turned and left, swiftly exiting the monastery, mounting his Radiant Warhorse, and heading straight for the Glowing Fungus Castle.

After he left.

From the monastery's attic, Beatrice peered out, gazing in the direction Leo had gone, her brow furrowed, lost in thought.
