A farming master in Stardew Valley

Chapter 585 Getting ready to go home
As Triss finished speaking, everyone no longer had the heart to applaud. Instead, they all had gloomy faces, some were thinking, some were discussing with acquaintances, or they simply turned around and left the banquet hall, leaving this war barrier through the space crack that had been opened at some point.

Triss was quite satisfied with this scene. After announcing this matter, she left because she knew that these old hands would figure out how to deal with the next thing on their own and eventually bring her the most perfect result as before.

However, if she could first find the real Madman who had infiltrated, rather than the converted believer, then Triss wouldn't mind using this as an excuse to ask those merchants to pay more rent to replenish her own treasury.

Watching Triss leave, more and more people began to leave the banquet hall, each of them in a hurry. It was not difficult to imagine what the Elemental City would be like after all these people left.

At this moment, Rasmodes also walked back and said to Leon and Abigail, "You have heard that the Elemental City will be in turmoil in the coming period, so our trip to the Elemental City may have to end early. After a night's rest in the hotel, I will take you back to Stardew Valley tomorrow."

"I have no objection." Leon nodded. Although he only went to the shopping street and the arena today, the consumption in the shopping street made him eager to go back to develop the farm and plant all the seeds for the season, so he naturally had no objection to going back early.

"Me too." Abigail felt the same way. Although the Elemental City was very interesting and she could see many new things that could not be seen in the ordinary world, following Rasmodes today was not like traveling, but more like following a mentor for academic exchanges. She was still very happy to be able to get rid of this boring experience.

Hearing that both of them had no objection, Rasmodes nodded, then stretched out his hands and placed them on their shoulders. Without going out to take the carriage, he cast a teleportation magic and took the two back to the inn.

Cody, who was dozing off at the front desk, felt the fluctuation of space magic and opened his eyes immediately. However, the familiar magic prevented him from picking up his wand disguised as a crutch.

Seeing that it was indeed Rasmodesmus who appeared, Cody teased.

"You're back so soon? Was the party boring?"

"It's not that I'm bored. You know the city lord's personality. At the banquet this time, he directly announced that the Elemental City had entered a level one combat readiness state. Do you think anyone would still be there chatting in such a situation?"

Rasmodesm complained while looking at Cody.

"Level 1 combat readiness status. I haven't heard of it for over 50 years. It looks like they're going to make a lot of money in the near future." Cody was stunned when he heard this. Although his way of speaking was a bit casual, his expression looked very solemn.

"The Madman killed by Blade Chief was just a converted believer. The real Madman is still hiding in the Elemental City. You'd better be careful." Rasmodes reminded Cody.

"Don't worry. Although I'm old, I still have the ability to protect myself. It seems that you will be leaving tomorrow, so you should have a good rest first." Cody waved his hand, indicating that Lasmodes didn't need to worry about him.

"By the way, you guys teleported back directly. Where's my driver?"

"He should still be waiting for us at the war barrier. You can remotely notify him to come back." Upon hearing this, Rasmodes remembered that the coachman who sent them there was still waiting there, and said with some embarrassment.

"Okay, I'll let him come back. You guys go back to your rooms first." Cody didn't care much about it. After talking with Cody, Rasmodes took Leon and Abigail to the room upstairs.

On the way back, Leon asked, "Why don't we leave now?"

"Since Triss announced that the Elemental City has entered a level one combat readiness state, the interference barrier of the entire Elemental City has been activated. Except for the stable teleportation array, the magician's own teleportation magic cannot leave the Elemental City. So we can only wait until dawn, go to the Blade's Head Guild to register, verify our identity, and use the teleportation array there to return to Stardew Valley." Rasmodes explained.

"But teacher, didn't you just use teleportation magic to bring us back?" Abigail asked in confusion.

"That's because we're still inside the city. I think teleportation within the city shouldn't be affected. This is so that after discovering the Lost Mind, the mages can teleport to the scene immediately to encircle and suppress it."

Before Rasmodes could explain, Leon helped him analyze it.

"Leon is right." Rasmodes confirmed.

Realizing that she had asked a question that seemed easy to answer, Abigail shrank her head a little embarrassedly, but Leon and Rasmodes did not blame her, but continued chatting.

"What does the Elemental City look like when it's in a level one combat readiness state?"

"All businesses are closed, and no one can enter the Elemental City. Those who want to leave the Elemental City also need to pass identity verification, but most people probably can't leave, or even don't want to leave. Starting tonight, you will find that everyone in the Elemental City who can participate in the battle will begin a carpet search on the streets, and those who cannot fight will find a residence as soon as possible and wait for questioning by armed personnel." Rasmodes replied.

"It looks like we won't be able to rest well tonight." Lyon sighed.

"No, my identity is still somewhat useful. If those people really come here to search, Cody will stop them from disturbing us. So sleep peacefully. No matter what happens at night, don't open the door. Wait until dawn and I'll come find you, and then you can leave the room."

Rasmodesm shook his head, then looked at Abigail and Leon and decided: "You two can stay together tonight. I will move the bed from Abigail's room to your room, but I just want you to protect Abigail, so you know what you should and shouldn't do, right?"

"Don't worry." Leon naturally understood what Rasmodes meant and assured him very seriously.

If he was really a lecher, Abigail would have been married long ago, so why would he wait until this point to take action?

Leon could also understand Rasmodesm's concerns. If he was not afraid of Abigail's misunderstanding, he might have planned to let Abigail live with him. However, under the premise that he did not want to announce that he was Abigail's biological grandfather, the only person who could make Abigail feel at ease to protect him was Leon.
