A farming master in Stardew Valley

Chapter 373 Don’t sneak into the village and shoot
"As for Marcello's bookstall, you'll know for yourself when he comes to Stardew Valley next time. His hot air balloon always lands on the hillside behind the supermarket in Pelican Town." Rasmodes ignored Leon and continued to tell Leon about the bookstall.

"Then how do I know when he will come back?" Leon asked.

"It's very simple. You just need to wake up early every morning and take a look at the sky. As long as you see a line of clouds in the sky, it means Marcello is coming. His hot air balloon is a flying prop blessed by magic. Every time it runs, it will stir up the clouds. This is the best clue to find him." Rasmodes explained.

"It seems that Mr. Marcello has no enemies. Otherwise, with such obvious movements, if he had enemies, he would have been hunted down to death long ago." Lyon sighed.

“No, he does, but no one dares to confront him. Although he is a bookseller, he is actually a retired guardian.

You don’t think that without the ability to ensure their own safety, anyone would dare to fly in the sky, right?

"Aside from areas of human activity, the rest of the sky is essentially the domain of flying creatures like dragons, snakes, and ghosts, and is considered a restricted flight zone," Rasmodes complained.

"Then why do I remember that there are airplanes in this world?" Leon asked.

"Have you ever noticed the routes of these planes? They mostly fly within the empire. Have you ever seen routes that cross borders or cross seas? For example, the route from the Fingir Republic to the Gotlo Empire is basically transported by land trains and water ships. Even a wizard like me who doesn't care about the lives of ordinary people knows this, so how come you don't know it?"

Rasmodesmos complained to Leon in a bad mood: "Don't run around if you have nothing to do. Isn't it good to read a book, a newspaper, or read the news in the house occasionally?"

"Ahem, I understand." Lyon nodded quickly to agree with Rasmodes's lecture.

"Do you have any other questions?" Seeing that Leon was so receptive to advice, Rasmodes did not continue to embarrass Leon, but turned to ask Leon.

"Yes, I was fishing today and I caught something called a mystery box. Inside it was a teleportation totem. I was wondering, besides fishing, is there any other way to get this box?"

Since Lasmodes took the initiative to speak, Lyon naturally would not be polite.

"Mystery Box? This is a small event held by a certain being. I don't know the details, but I can guarantee that this box will only benefit you, not harm you. If you want to find more boxes, go explore on your own."

The corners of Rasmodes' mouth twitched when he heard this, and then he answered Lyon's question in an extremely perfunctory manner.

This made Lyon unsure whether Rasmodesmus knew that the disseminator of this mystery box was Mr. Qi, so Lyon simply asked Rasmodesmus.

"Then do you know Mr. Qi?"

"I don't know, I don't understand, and I'm not interested. I'm just a hermit mage living in Stardew Valley. I only know about Stardew Valley. Okay, you should go back. Remember what I said, read more books and newspapers."

Lasmodes directly vetoed three times, and then before Lyon could speak, he stretched out his hand and teleported Lyon directly back to Red Star Farm.

"Why do I feel like Master Lasmodes has an inexplicable fear of Mr. Qi? Is it my illusion?"

Looking at the familiar farm scenery around him, Leon recalled Rasmodes's response and expression and began to ponder. However, since Rasmodes couldn't explain, Leon didn't intend to embarrass him. He had already provided him with information about the bookseller, which was a great help. It would be unreasonable to ask for more.

Besides Rasmodesmus, there is no one else who is willing to answer his questions. As the saying goes, an old man in the family is like a treasure. If the wizard cannot get the answer, there is Linus who can help Leon.

Thinking of this, Leon left the farm again and headed towards the northern foothills.

Although he now has a mountain teleportation totem, which can directly reach the northern foothills by simply holding it up, saving about twenty minutes of travel time, Lyon intends to use such a good teleportation method as a trump card to escape.

In the future, if you encounter any dangerous situation, you can just raise the totem to return to Stardew Valley and save time on the journey. That would be a waste.

When Leon arrived at the northern foothills and found Linus's tent, he discovered that there was no trace of Linus in the fire pit or in the open tent. But what was interesting was that Linus seemed to know that Leon would come, so he left a letter on the sleeping bag in the tent.

The envelope was specially written with a letter to Leon in large letters.

Lyon:
When you see this letter, I should have already gone out. You just need to know that I have not been in Stardew Valley recently.

Don't ask me where I'm going. I can tell you that I'm visiting an old friend, so I won't encounter any danger and I won't come back too early.

By the way, maybe when you have nothing to do you can go and see that little girl named Abigail. Don’t go to her openly, but do it secretly.

-Linus

After reading the contents of the letter, Leon couldn't help scratching his head. He felt that Linus's departure was a bit abrupt, as if he was avoiding something. Moreover, he specifically reminded himself to look for Abigail quietly, which made Leon feel even more confused.

However, Lyon believed that Linus was not doing this without a purpose, so Lyon decided to find an opportunity to check on Abigail.

Forget about it now. The sun is setting. If I go to Pelican Town from the northern foothills, it will probably be dark when I get there. It would be no problem to visit openly at this time, but if I sneak in secretly, I will be in big trouble if I am discovered.

And the situation shouldn't be too urgent, otherwise Linus wouldn't have left a message asking Leon to visit Abigail when he was free, so Leon returned to Red Star Farm the same way.

After dinner and a shower, Leon turned on the TV, leaned back in his chair, and quietly watched the evening news and other channels, extracting some common sense knowledge of the world from various reports.

What Rasmodes said was indeed very reasonable. Leon's understanding of the world was too shallow. Not to mention the mysterious side, even the common sense that ordinary people learned imperceptibly in their lives and growth, Leon only had a superficial understanding.

For example, it was only through Penny that Leon learned that anyone entering Red Star Farm without his consent would be considered an illegal trespasser.

　Thank you Hedgehog Monkey boss for the reward of 200 Starting Coins. I hope you are so generous and in good health. We are old acquaintances too. I have even remembered you in my input method.
