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

Chapter 97 The Knight of Light, Oden

The barbecue dinner at Sunflower Castle was lavish and lively, but it was only for the knights of the manor.

The serfs still ate black bread with thick soup.

In fact, Elio was so generous that he didn't mind giving each serf an extra piece of black bread during the celebrations after a great victory.

But as soon as the pilgrims left, the plantation's food reserves were running low.

I can no longer play the role of a generous person.

Furthermore, the importance of the knights must be highlighted, so only knights participated in this celebratory banquet, with Frankenstein being the only exception. Although he was not a knight, as Leo's confidant, he could be considered a knight.

After the dinner.

Oden approached Leo: "Sir, I feel like I'm about to be promoted to priest, and that's bound to cause a stir."

"Oh, really?" Leo's eyes lit up. "Indeed, your meditation practice had already reached its peak, and your promotion to priest was just around the corner. In that case, announce now that you've found the spirit insect in the magic crystal field."

"Yes, sir!" Auden couldn't help but laugh again.

Soon, a bombshell piece of news spread throughout the entire Swamp Manor.

Knight Oden, who was in charge of the Spring Crystal Field, discovered a spirit insect at the base of a glowing mushroom plant.

The serfs were still just amazed.

The knights, whether asleep or awake, all rushed to congratulate Oden and Leo.

Leo seized the opportunity and announced in front of everyone that he would transfer the contract rights of the sprite insect to Oden.

"Oden, don't let me down," Leo said.

Oden also pretended to kneel on one knee and solemnly swore his loyalty to Leo before he began to contract the spirit insect.

He then proceeded with the contract through an exaggerated performance.

The crowd cheered again.

"That's great, Oden!"

"Blessed by the Holy Light, Oden, you are about to become a Knight of Light!"

"The master is too good to you, Auden. Don't let him down and fail to become a priest." It was Franken who spoke, his tone extremely sarcastic, his eyes almost red. He was also a trainee priest and dreamed of contracting a spirit insect.

Pluto chimed in with a laugh, "Get promoted soon, Oden!"

The voice just fell.

A holy expression suddenly appeared on Auden's face: "My lord, my colleagues, I feel the blessing of holy light descending upon me. I feel as if I am about to ascend. It is the holy light, it is the spirit insects, they are calling me!"

"Huh?" Everyone was shocked.

I was stunned by the continuous stream of surprises.

"Promoted after just signing a contract?" Harden's eyes widened. "Oden, Oden, how are the brothers supposed to—how are we not jealous of you doing this!"

Biden and bin Laden were speechless.

Harrison sighed, a hint of envy in his eyes. Once Auden was promoted to Knight of Light, he would be even more sought after than he, an ordinary Grand Knight.

Old Knight Rhodes also sighed.

It's just a pity that the Swamp Manor seems to be truly blessed by the Holy Light. Just a few months ago, Leo contracted a Spirit Insect, and now Oden has contracted another Spirit Insect. Two Spirit Insects have been born in one manor in succession.

That's incredible.

"Alright, everyone step back a bit, don't get in Odamp's way," Leo called to the group, and they moved a little further away.

Auden stood there, hands clasped together, praying toward the holy light.

Soon above his head, it was as if a crack had opened in the void, and bright light descended, illuminating Oden's entire body.

"It's holy light!" a knight exclaimed.

As the holy light descended, Oden became incredibly holy, but this process didn't last long, about thirty seconds. The crack above his head disappeared, the holy light stopped descending, and the light that had fallen on Oden gradually disappeared into his body.

Everything is back to normal.

Oden grinned, "My lord, I've successfully advanced to a 1st-tier priest!"

"Haha, great!" Leo was overjoyed. This was the first 1st-tier priest he had trained, and the development of his territory was about to enter a period of rapid growth.

He quickly walked up to Oden and patted him on the shoulder: "Oden, you're not a Tier 1 priest, you're a Tier 1..."

"A Holy Knight! Savor this feeling, and then explore the path of a Holy Knight."

"Yes, sir."

"Tomorrow, let's celebrate Oden!" Leo announced again that tomorrow, a grand banquet would continue, after which the knights would be dismissed.

But he did not leave immediately.

Instead, he chatted with Oden for a while, giving him some instructions: "The training of a priest is not just a simple Holy Light spell. Holy Light magic is a profound and complex system. I have a book called 'Holy Word' here. Study it carefully."

Holy Word is a synonym for Holy Light spells.

Auden solemnly accepted it and replied, "Yes, sir, I will diligently study the 'Art of the Holy Word'."

"Don't just bury yourself in your work. If there's anything you don't understand, speak up. I'll grant you a leave of absence to study at a monastery," Leo said. "Pastor Lamar and I have a good relationship; he'll teach you diligently."

"I understand, sir."

Leo was about to leave when he suddenly stopped: "Oden, let me see your Holy Light spell now."

Oden chuckled: "Okay."

The two arrived at the magic crystal field and chose a sunflower seedling area. Oden drew his longsword instead of his magic staff.

Begin chanting Holy Light.

Soon, a large amount of holy light elements dissipated from his body and gathered on the blade. Some free holy light elements in the air also mixed together and condensed on the blade, turning it into a lamp tube.

He swung his sword casually.

These elements of holy light then blossomed into a vast expanse of holy light, descending upon the sunflower seedling area and quickly seeping into the seedlings.

Nourished by the holy light, the seedlings, which were only as tall as calves, grew rapidly upwards at a visible speed, as if they were being forced to grow faster. In the blink of an eye, they grew to nearly 15 centimeters tall, growing from seedlings into half-grown plants.

"Not bad, not bad at all. Its power is more than ten times greater than the Holy Light spell of the novice priest," Leo exclaimed.

Not to mention its immense power.

The key difference is that a trainee priest can only cast Holy Light six or seven times a day at most, while a level 1 priest can cast Holy Light more than ten times a day.

Auden chuckled, "My lord, from now on, leave the cultivation of sunflower seedlings to me. I guarantee that the sunflower streetlights you've been waiting for will soon fill every corner of the manor!"

Oden has been promoted to priest.

While Leo was happy, he also felt a pang of sadness.

His progress in meditation is not fast. He is currently maintaining a level of three Holy Light spells per day. If he pushes himself a bit, he can cast it about five times a day, but he is still far from reaching his limit.

The limits of promotion for trainee pastors.

Under normal circumstances, you can cast Holy Light about seven times a day, and at most about twelve times a day.

Oden was at this level before.

Trainee priests like Old Bob, Lucas, and Rauff, who were serfs or servants, could usually cast the spell five times a day. If they were heavily exploited, they could barely cast it eight or nine times, but it was difficult for them to cast it more than ten times.

Once you exceed that limit, your body will become exhausted, as if you've just recovered from a serious illness.

"We still have to work harder, don't we, Maokai?" Leo was holding the jade box, inside which the oak tree spirit insect Maokai was fast asleep, oblivious to Leo's mutterings.

Clearing his mind of distractions, Leo closed his eyes and began his meditation practice for the evening.

The specks of holy light that were floating in the air were drawn into his body by his affinity for holy light, and under the blessing of meditation, they settled into his limbs and bones, waiting to be awakened by the holy light spell.
