A farming master in Stardew Valley

Chapter 431 The Secret of the Mage Tower
"I see. However, this thing is indeed quite dangerous. I wonder if debris similar to the one in the mountains still exists in other areas where humans live."

Lyon breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, but at the same time he couldn't help but sigh.

"Yes, but it won't interfere with ordinary people. We mages and the Explorers' Guild will not sit idly by." Rasmodes comforted.

"What about this matter?" When Lyon heard this, he immediately rubbed his hands and looked at Rasmodes with anticipation.

"This is your mission, and don't forget, you are now a member of the Explorer's Guild." Rasmodes reminded.

"Can you offer me some small assistance? I'm just an ordinary farmer. Asking me to sneak into a mine full of miners and find this wreckage that seems to be buried deep in the mountain without anyone noticing is a bit difficult."

Seeing that he couldn't trick Lasmodes into helping him, Lyon had no choice but to follow his original plan and see if he could get some help from Lasmodes.

If he were to play the real-life version of Assassin's Creed, he really wouldn't be confident. Although he now had some combat talent, that talent was all focused on reaction. He had no experience in stealth. If he rashly broke into the mine and was discovered, Leon couldn't learn to kill all the witnesses and achieve the achievement of perfect infiltration.

"Just do it. I won't provide you with any help, Leon. Now you need to be independent instead of asking me or Linus for help in everything. We can help you once or twice, but we can't help you forever." Rasmodes replied earnestly.

"And most importantly, this is a mission commissioned specifically for you. I don't think Mr. Qi would want to see you rely on outside forces to accomplish this mission. If you want to receive that generous reward, you'll have to find a way on your own."

"Okay." Lyon didn't say anything after hearing this. What Lasmodes said was indeed very reasonable. He was a little too dependent on the two elders, Lasmodes and Linus.

In the past, I would always seek answers to my questions and doubts from these two people. Now that I think about it, it seems that I have owed them a lot of favors without realizing it.

Even though the two of them cared for him because of his grandfather, this kind of care was not to be taken for granted. If it happened too many times, not only would they feel tired, but Leon might also get used to relying on them and start to become weak.

Rasmodesm glanced at Liang's expression after he finished speaking. There was no sign of loss or anger on his face. It seemed that Liang really listened to what he said, and he felt relieved.

Then he stopped talking about these things with Leon and continued to focus his attention on Abigail in the maze. Leon did the same. They both noticed that Abigail was almost done exploring all the passages in the maze, because there were only a few boxes left in the maze prepared by Lasmodes.

"Come in. The end point of the teleportation array in the maze is set in my wizard tower. Let's wait for her there." Lasmodes reminded Leon, then turned and walked into the wizard tower.

Leon followed in Rasmodes' footsteps and entered the Mage Tower. It still had the familiar decoration and layout, without any changes. Even the huge crucible had firewood burning at the bottom all year round, with steaming bubbles rolling in the pot. The air was still filled with the faint fragrance of grass and unknown flowers.

Unlike before, this time Lasmodes did not stay in the hall of the main gate of the Mage Tower, but took Leon around to a stone wall next to the gate.

"It's time to show you some interesting places in the Mage Tower."

As Rasmodes spoke, he stretched out his hand and placed it on the wall. The stone wall instantly began to fade away, revealing a wide staircase leading downwards.

"Down below is my private library and some magical facilities. You can visit, but don't touch anything. Otherwise, if you get into unnecessary trouble, I won't help you." After instructing Leon, Rasmodes took the lead and walked down the stairs. Leon followed Rasmodes's footsteps. After walking down a staircase about ten meters long with a drop of about three or four meters, he saw a long corridor.

Both sides of the aisle are filled with various statues, including classical European knight armor, complete human skeleton models, and some animal sculptures such as owls and crows. They are scattered on both sides. Although they are not placed symmetrically, it does not make people feel awkward.

"Will these armors be able to move and guard this place when needed?" Lyon asked, looking at these shiny empty armors and the knight's swords held in their hands.

"It's just a decoration given to me by an old friend, but your suggestion is very interesting. Maybe I can give it a try." Rasmodesm became interested after hearing this.

"Then be sure to notify me when it's done. I'm looking forward to seeing these armors in action." Leon reminded Rasmodes.

It would be awesome if these armors could be made to look like the ones in Hogwarts in Harry Potter.

"We'll talk about it later."

Rasmodesm put the matter aside for the moment and continued to lead Leon forward. At the end of the corridor, he turned left and took Leon to see one separate small compartment after another.

These cubicles are about the same size as the squat toilets in public toilets, except that there are no squat toilets. Instead, there are small platforms slightly above the ground, and each platform is engraved with a magic circle that flashes milky white fluorescence.

"This is my teleportation room, which basically contains some of the places I go most often. Although I can use magic directly to travel, riding the teleportation array is much easier than casting spells." Rasmodes looked at Leon's inquiring eyes and explained.

Leon nodded. He had never seen these in the game, but he had already gotten used to this change from the game.

Rather than worrying about the differences between the games, Leon was more concerned about where these teleportation arrays led to. Fortunately, Lasmodes hung a wooden sign at the entrance of each compartment to describe the area it led to.

Looking from left to right, they are in order.

"Enchanted Forest," "Little Girl," "Bladehead Guild Hall," "Castle Village Guild Hall," "Atlantis," "Fingill's Ministry of Magic," "???"

There are seven locations. The second one was erased, leaving only two vaguely recognizable words. Leon speculated that it should be the witch's hut in the Witch Swamp, where Rasmodesma's ex-wife is, and the other six areas.

Lyon was not quite sure about the details, but he had heard of the Castle Village, where Camilla was. As for Atlantis, Lyon speculated that it should be the territory of mermaids. The Ministry of Magic of Fingill was even easier to understand, as it should be the administrative agency and power organ of the magicians.

The rest of the Magic Forest and the Blade's Head Guild Hall were completely unheard of, especially the last area, which made Leon extremely curious.

Even the ex-wife's residence was marked. Although the content had been erased, it was still a record. But this??? There were only three question marks on it, and no other text description could be seen.
