A farming master in Stardew Valley

Chapter 551 The Mage is a Petty Person

Rasmodesm closed his eyes to rest, but Abigail had no such thoughts, nor did Leon. However, facing the fruits in the fruit bowl, both Abigail and Leon were at a loss as to where to start.

Because these fruits are completely different from the fruits Lyon has seen before, and each one has a very strange shape.

For example, there are bunches of grapes that look like eyeballs, oval fruits with densely packed small bumps that look like sea urchins, and a blood-red fruit that trembles slightly in the fruit bowl, as if it were a living thing.

It doesn't look like it's edible at all.

"Taste it?"

Leon pointed at a small fruit that looked relatively kind, but had snake-skin patterns, and bewitched Abigail.

"Why don't you eat?"

Abigail rolled her eyes and complained, after all, this plate of fruit didn't look very appetizing.

"I don't like sweet things." Leon answered seriously.

"This is spicy." Rasmodes suddenly said with his eyes closed.

"Spicy fruit? Isn't that just chili pepper?" Lyon complained.

"Fire Snake Honey, a special fruit with a sweet and spicy taste. It actually tastes quite good." Although Rasmodes did not open his eyes, he still introduced the name and taste characteristics of this fruit to Leon and Abigail.

"How do you eat it?" Leon asked with interest.

“Eat it straight away,” Rasmodes added.

"Oh?"

Hearing this, Leon picked up the fruit doubtfully. Just as he was about to taste it, he noticed a prompt from the system.

"Fire Snake Honey (fruit): A special fruit that grows on the edge of magma. It's one of Lava Monkeys' favorite foods, but even Lava Monkeys will peel the skin before enjoying the sweet and spicy flesh."

As soon as this hint came out, Leon immediately understood the ill intentions of Rasmodesmus. This old Deng must have done it on purpose, just to let him be tricked by this fruit peel as revenge for his displeasure of appearing in front of him holding Abigail's hand in the morning.

As expected, Rasmodesmos is still the same Rasmodesmos, very petty.

So Leon handed the fruit directly to Abigail: "Let's eat together. It's rare to see such a special fruit. You heard it too. Your teacher said it tastes very good."

Abigail didn't realize there was a trap, so she immediately took the fire snake honey from Leon's hand and planned to put it in her mouth.

Rasmodesm could no longer sit still and directly reminded her, "This fruit hasn't been washed yet, Abigail. It would be more hygienic if you peel it before eating."

"Teacher, didn't you say that we can eat it directly?" Abigail asked with some confusion.

"That's for Leon. He's got a strong constitution, so he's not afraid of the dirt on the fruit. You're not." After saying this, Rasmodes couldn't help but open his eyes and glare at Leon. He was certain Leon was doing it on purpose, probably sensing something was amiss and deflecting the blame. Abigail obeyed and peeled the fruit, revealing the fiery red flesh inside. Then she took a small bite.

"Wow, what a stimulating taste, a little spicy, but mostly sweet. And the juice of this fruit is actually warm, so interesting."

After just one bite, Abigail experienced the specialness of this fire snake honey. It was indeed delicious and very novel. The taste and flavor were not something that ordinary fruits could have.

“I’m actually quite hygienic.”

At this moment, Leon smiled and took a fire snake honey, peeled the skin, put the flesh into his mouth, feeling the unique taste, and complained to Rasmodes.

Rasmodes didn't say anything, just rolled his eyes and continued to rest.

With the fire snake honey as a foundation, Abigail also became interested in other fruits. Although these fruits did not look good, they did not seem to taste too strange. Abigail was now full of curiosity about these fruits that she had never seen before.

Lyon felt relieved knowing that the system would identify these new things. He eliminated some unusable parts of these fruits from the system's identification information before sharing it with Abigail.

This allowed Abigail to avoid any pitfalls and fully experience the special flavors of all the fruits in the fruit plate.

Seeing this, Rasmodes, who had his eyes closed, felt helpless. He prepared this fruit plate not only to show Leon and Abigail something new, but also to test Abigail's eyesight. But now all of this was ruined by Leon. All the small traps that Abigail should have identified by herself were avoided by Leon in advance.

At this moment, Rasmodesm was extremely confused. This was probably the first time that Leon had seen these fruits. How could he find the flaws of these fruits so accurately, including the fire snake honey before? It was obvious that Leon knew that the peel was the inedible part. Although eating it would only make him cry because of the spiciness, and there was no major harm, Leon still noticed this pitfall.

After much thought, Rasmodesm thought that it might be due to Leon's intuition as a farmer or the special talent given to Leon by forest magic. Apart from that, he really couldn't think of any method by which Leon could identify the defects of these fruits.

After Abigail and Leon finished showing off the whole plate of fruit, the carriage, no, it should be a rat carriage, just stopped. The coachman helped open the door, stood outside the door, and invited the three to get off.

"Do I need to pay?" In addition to the gift card, Lyon also brought 1000G in cash to deal with some small purchases, so before getting off the bus, Lyon asked.

"No need, this is the hotel's pick-up service." Rasmodes shook his head and got out of the car first.

Then Leon and Abielle got out of the car and noticed the changes in the surrounding environment.

Unlike the previous buildings that were all built of rocks, the building materials in this area were very random. The three-story hotel with an open door in front of Lyon was basically made of wood, while the other buildings on the side included a glass house, a bluestone house, a library built on a big tree, and a vine house of similar style.

The most eye-catching thing is a castle-like building not far away, which is made entirely of sea-blue crystal. This castle is also protected by an inverted barrier.

"That's the embassy of the mermaid clan."

Regarding the most conspicuous building on this street, Rasmodes explained: "Leon, if you want to go and see it, you can use the conch as a pass to enter."

"Let's talk about it when we have time." Leon had a good impression of the mermaid clan. After all, who doesn't like a beautiful mermaid sister? But Abigail was by his side. If Leon couldn't wait to run over, Abigail would definitely be jealous.

After all, this is a mermaid. Even if you haven't seen it with your own eyes, you can tell what it is just by hearing the name. There is only one possibility for Abigail to let Leon go to such a place, and that is that she doesn't love him anymore.
