A farming master in Stardew Valley

Chapter 474 Olivia Arrives
"Will not."

Leon asked, "By the way, old man, you said the Sons of the Wilderness are the first line of defense, so are the magicians the second line of defense?"

Based on Linus' explanation, Lyon thought of some very important links. After all, opportunities and dangers coexist.

In the previous life, the Earth had no supernatural powers, and ordinary creatures were the mainstream of the world.

However, due to the particularity of this world and the existence of monsters, various extraordinary people also appear.

Therefore, Leon felt that all the extraordinary people in the Order camp probably had enemies they needed to face.

This is consistent with the Taoist theory of yin and yang balance and the mutual promotion and restraint of species. After all, without monsters and various supernatural threats, this world should not give birth to extraordinary beings such as mages and children of the wilderness.

Now that Abigail has entered the field of magic, Leon is still quite worried about Abigail's future.

"No, they're explorers. Don't underestimate these seemingly ordinary warriors. Their combat abilities are not much worse than those of magicians. Moreover, against monsters, sharp blades are more deadly than magic."

Linus shook his head and then added.

"The last line of defense is the magicians. After all, although they master the elements and arcane magic, they are made of glass and shatter at the slightest touch. They are not suitable for frontal combat. However, they can provide good auxiliary capabilities and firepower support. They can also rely on the elements and arcane magic to detect many threats that are invisible to the naked eye."

"Does every mage have his own responsibilities?" Lyon continued to ask.

"Yes, but it's not mandatory. A mage's learning and growth is not only due to talent, but also to their own efforts. The reason they are able to take on the responsibility of the last line of defense is because of the contract with Yuba. Yuba has given humans the magic to control the arcane and elements. And humans who learn this magic must also fulfill the mission of helping Yuba protect the world.

This ancient contract has been memorized and passed down by magic practitioners since magic was first taught to people. However, the human population has exploded in modern times, and there are already enough mages to fulfill this contract. Therefore, except for the most powerful mages who have become guardians and continue to fulfill this contract, other second-level mages will only inherit this responsibility after a guardian retires.

Of course, many mages, even if they are not guardians, still rush to the front line, because only by joining in the protection of this world can they mobilize more arcane and elemental power to complete their advancement on the path of magic.

Of course, there are also mages who simply want to protect their families, friends, and homes, so mages will not be forced to take on responsibilities, and you don't need to worry about Abigail. "

Linus knew the reason behind Leon's question, so he explained it in great detail and even pointed out the main point at the end so that Leon could feel at ease.

"Now what should I do with Da Huang?"

After finding out about the concerns, Leon brought the topic back to Rhubarb. After all, after saying so much, Linus didn't say how to provide the best growth environment for Rhubarb, which is currently in this transformation period.

"Didn't I tell you?" Linus scratched his hair in confusion.

"No." Leon looked at Linus worriedly. The old man looked energetic, but he was old after all. Was he starting to become confused?
Linus also noticed Leon's eyes and scolded him angrily: "Take back that look of yours. Although I am old, I am not old enough to die. I just talked to you too much and forgot to mention this!"

"Actually, there's nothing much to prepare. Just find a place where no one will disturb it and leave it there. The rest is up to it."

"Don't we need to find an ice cellar or some area with abundant natural energy?" Lyon asked uncertainly.

"No need." Linus shook his head and added: "And don't put it in your alien space, just put it somewhere on the farm." "Oh." Leon naturally believed what Linus said, but he still felt a little melancholy when he looked at the frozen rhubarb.

Because the moment this little guy completes his transformation, he may not be able to follow him around like before, nor can he help him act as a wingman or peacemaker.

Linus felt a little reluctant when he saw Leon staring at the ice sculpture of Rhubarb. After all, he had entrusted Rhubarb to Leon before just so that the child could have a companion on the farm. Now that they had developed feelings for each other, Rhubarb unexpectedly embarked on the promotion to the Son of the Wilderness, which led to another separation.

However, this is something that Lyon has to go through after all. Even if there is no Dahuang, there are other farewells waiting for Lyon to face. As the holder of forest magic, as long as he does not act recklessly, the lifespan of the Son of Nature is several times higher than that of ordinary people.

In the future, Lyon will probably encounter many cases of the elderly sending off the young. Now that he has adapted to separation in advance, although it is not a separation of life and death, it can be regarded as a kind of experience for Lyon.

"Go back, you should be very busy today."

"Oh." Leon nodded, then held the frozen rhubarb, said goodbye to Linus, and left the northern foothills.

After returning to the farm, Leon immediately placed the ice sculpture of Dawang on the bedside. Although it could be placed anywhere, Leon felt that it would be best to place Dawang in front of his own eyes. In this way, if anything went wrong, Leon would be able to discover it and ask for help in the first time.

After looking at the rhubarb sleeping quietly under the ice for a while, Leon withdrew his gaze and went out to water the crops in the fields and feed the hens in the chicken coop.

To his surprise, inside the chicken coop, he actually saw eggs left by the hens on the ground. Some had white shells, some had red shells, and the shells were round. The eggs were not small in size, and were a lot bigger than the eggs bought from Joja's house.

"If Dahuang knew about this, he would probably cry and act like a spoiled child in front of me, begging for food." Looking at the egg in his hand, Leon inexplicably thought of Dahuang again.

After collecting the eggs, Leon left the chicken coop, went to the cave again to harvest some mushrooms, and found the cherries brought by the fruit bats. Then he returned to the house and continued to stare at the ice sculpture of Da Huang in a daze.

"Ding Ding Ding"

After an unknown amount of time, Leon suddenly heard the landline phone in the cabin ringing. He came to his senses and picked up the receiver.

"Hey?"

"Leon, are you still busy with your farm work?"

"Are you done? What's wrong? Is there anything?" Lyon was a little confused when he heard the voice of Lewis on the other end of the phone.

"Ah, didn't you know? It seems you didn't check your mailbox. Today is the day Olivia and her family move to Stardew Valley. She has set up a banquet venue next to the fountain near the old community center as promised. Now most people have arrived at the scene. We are waiting for you to arrive before the banquet to discuss the development of the area in the eastern mountains." Lewis explained.

"Oh, I see. I'll be there soon." Lyon remembered this matter only then, but he was not too surprised. After all, this was something Lewis had agreed on in advance.

Just looking at the frozen Da Huang, Lyon felt a little headache. On such a lively day, if he went there alone, his friends who knew about Da Huang's existence would definitely ask why Da Huang didn't come, and he would have to smooth things over for Da Huang.
