A farming master in Stardew Valley

Chapter 579 Because She is the Mermaid Queen

"I'm here, thank you for your escort."

After arriving at the hotel, Leon got off the carriage and expressed his gratitude to the two mermaid warriors who were responsible for escorting him.

The two mermaid warriors bowed to Leon in unison, then turned the car around and returned the same way.

Leon, on the other hand, straightened his clothes before entering the hotel.

"Hey, kid, you're back. Did you bring the demi-human spices I asked you to bring me?"

As soon as they entered the hotel, Mr. Cody behind the counter asked Leon.

"Of course I won't forget." Leon immediately took out the subhuman spice he brought for Cody in the shopping street. This was purchased in the first half of the shopping street. Many people sell this special spice, but Roche said that most of them are not very authentic.

So he took Leon to find a green-skinned, fanged, non-human intelligent race merchant whose appearance was very similar to the trolls in World of Warcraft, and bought this big bag of 5 pounds of sub-human spices from him.

Cody took the spices handed to him by Leon, untied them, picked up a little bit of spice, put it to his nose and sniffed it, then put it into his mouth to taste it.

"Good stuff, very good taste, not bad."

Cody was quite satisfied with the spices Leon purchased: "How much?"

"It's not worth much money, just consider it a return gift." Lyon replied, waving his hand. This big bag of spices only cost 250G, an average of 50G per pound. Compared with Lyon's spending on agricultural products, it is a drop in the bucket.

Moreover, Leon still remembered the benefits brought by the coin that Cody gave him, so he naturally would not refuse this favor for the sake of 250G.

"Okay, then I'll ask the chef to make you a special dish tonight so that you can replenish your energy." Cody didn't persuade him any more. He picked up the spices and threw them into a small window behind the counter. A strong and sturdy arm stretched out from the small window, accurately took the spices, and then retracted his hand.

"I'm not sure if we'll eat here tonight. Rasmodes told me that he would take me to a dinner full of the characteristics of the Elemental City." Hearing this, Leon remembered the notice he had received from the communication between the Mermaid Embassy and Rasmodes, so he explained it to Cody.

"Dinner party? Oh, yes, I had forgotten if you hadn't mentioned it. There is indeed a dinner party tonight."

Cody was stunned when he heard this, and then he remembered this matter. He took out a blue-gray invitation from the drawer under the counter and started reading it. After a moment, he complained with some dissatisfaction.

"But if I remember correctly, each invitation letter only allows one accompanying person. Is he special enough to bring you two little guys? Is this the difference in treatment between active Guardians and retired old men?"

“Don’t talk about the mess. I can only take one. Leon can go because I have his invitation.”

This sentence happened to be heard by Rasmodes, who had just returned with Abigail, and he hurriedly explained to Cody.

"This little guy also knows the city lord?" Hearing this, Cody laughed. He looked at Leon for a moment and joked, "Could you be the city lord's lover?"

"Don't you dare talk nonsense." Upon hearing this, Rasmodes cast a silencing spell at Cody. Then he glared at Cody and roared, "Are you suffering from Alzheimer's? How dare you joke about something like this?"

Although he has retired, he was once a top wizard after all. Cody easily broke Rasmodes' silence. He also knew that Rasmodes was not trying to ban his right to speak, but was just reminding himself. He immediately smiled and teased Rasmodes.

"I'm a native of the Elemental City and I don't know the city lord better than you. Not to mention I said it here, even if I said it in front of her, she wouldn't think there is anything wrong with it. Instead, she would explain to me seriously that she is not interested in men. You, you, are just too timid." "This is respect." Rasmodes looked a little embarrassed when he heard it, but he still replied with a straight face.

"In her eyes, we are all juniors. She won't get angry over trivial matters at all." Cody looked at Rasmodesmus speechlessly, then put the invitation back into the drawer.

"Since you're going, then you can just tell the city lord a message for me. I'm too old to join in the fun. I'll attend during the anniversary celebration."

"Haha." Rasmodesm looked at Cody with a sneer after hearing this. He was very tough in words, but in the end he still didn't dare to meet the city lord.

"What are you laughing at?" Cody also felt a little embarrassed and immediately shouted at Rasmodes.

Watching the two big men bickering, Leon consciously shrank to the side. He noticed that Abigail was staring at him, and his heart immediately tightened.

"Did you have an interesting experience in the Elemental City today?"

Although he was a little panicked, Leon pretended to be calm and chatted with Abigail.

"It was quite interesting. I saw many races and special magics I had never seen before, and I also got some gifts." Abigail answered Leon's question first, then asked, "Where did you buy this dress? It looks pretty good."

"A friend gave it to me." Leon replied calmly.

"You have friends in the Elemental City?" Abigail exclaimed in surprise. "Isn't this your first time in the Elemental City too?"

"But I'm also an explorer. Roche, the vice president of the Bladehead Guild, is my friend. I had a training match with Roche this afternoon and got slightly injured, so I stopped by the Mermaid Embassy and used their hot springs for treatment. The clothes were a gift from the mermaids."

Leon picked out the things he could talk about and explained the origins of his clothes.

Abigail had no doubt about this. She also knew that Leon had a good relationship with the mermaid clan. She had not only heard this story from Leon, but also from Rasmodesmus.

"Then you can go directly in this outfit. I'll go back to my room and change into my wizard robe." Abigail said and ran upstairs.

After arguing with Cody, Rasmodes saw Abigail leave, so he pulled Leon to the corner table in the hotel lobby and sat down. He set up a magic to block the spread of sound, staring at the sapphire ring in Leon's hand and spoke.

"It looks like you had a pretty busy afternoon, didn't you?"

The tone was very flat, and it was hard to tell whether it was a casual chat or a sarcastic tone.

But Leon guessed that Lasmodes must be aware of his current situation, so he sighed and said nothing.

Rasmodesmus continued, "Actually, when Helena came to me, I probably knew what she was thinking. I should have stopped her, after all, you're with Abigail now. But do you know why I didn't stop her and instead chose to help Helena?"

"I'd like to hear the details." Lyon was quite surprised to hear what Rasmodes said.

"Because she is the Mermaid Queen." Rasmodesm emphasized Helena's identity.
