A farming master in Stardew Valley

Chapter 774 Dark Amulet

Leon did not agree with Linus's answer, because Linus said it was okay, but what he said was a bit overstepping the mark.

So Leon immediately brought the topic back to the main thread and spoke.

"Then while Miranda is away, I'm going to go get the Dark Amulet. I'll finish it sooner and call it a day."

"Go." Linus nodded, then picked a green leaf from a bush nearby and handed it to Leon.

"If you're in danger, tear this leaf into pieces and I'll come to save you. There's a high chance I won't be able to use it."

"I hope so." Lyon took the leaf, put it in his pocket, and then walked down the mountain towards Pelican Town.

The news of the theft of the Baile Tang soup base was well blocked by Lewis. At least in Pelican Town, everyone still maintained a relaxed daily life.

Lyon, who had crossed the square, saw no sign of Lewis, and did not know whether he had returned from Marnie's house.

Originally, Leon planned to reveal some information to Lewis after seeing him to calm his emotions, but now it seems that it is not necessary. It will not be too late to tell Lewis the good news after getting the soup base of Baile Soup.

According to the information obtained from Linus, the base of the Paratha soup was most likely not destroyed or eaten. Leon still believed that Miranda asked the goblins to steal the base of the Paratha soup in order to have Rasmodestis come in person.

Although Linus said the probability was not high, Lyon just had this feeling.

After crossing the square and walking along the river for a while, Leon came to the sewer manhole cover surrounded by a fence. He took out the rusty key and opened the big lock on the cover. He lifted the manhole cover, and the unique smell of the sewer rushed into his head.

Fortunately, Leon was already used to the smell, so he climbed down the stairs directly. As soon as he landed, he heard Krobus's voice.

"Leon, do you want to buy something?"

"Krobus, long time no see. I'm not here to buy anything. I'm here to get the Dark Amulet from you." Leon landed and dusted off his hands. Then he turned to look at the big black winter root hiding in the shadows and spoke.

"Dark Amulet? Why?" Krobus asked Leon in confusion.

"I need to unlock a seal deployed with the Dark Amulet. Rasmodes told me to come to you to get the amulet." Leon explained.

"So this is the Guardian's request. I'll give it to you, but I hope you don't touch it for a long time. Although it's called a talisman, the dark power it contains is too dangerous for humans. It may cause unnecessary contamination and illness to your body."

When Krobus heard Rasmodeus's name and the seal, he realized that Leon was not acting on impulse.

"I understand. I will bring it back to you after I use it." Leon nodded seriously. Krobus definitely did not want to scare him. The Dark Amulet should be really dangerous. Leon is a person who listens to advice.

"Actually, you don't have to return it. I can make this myself. If you want to keep it as a souvenir, that's fine. I can dispel the shadow elements on it for you, so it will just be an ordinary amulet carved from obsidian."

Krobus replied. "Never mind. A gentleman doesn't take away what others love. Just use it for a bit." Leon stepped forward and patted Krobus on the shoulder, politely declining.

"Then take it." Krobus felt a little embarrassed by Leon's pat, and quickly took out a decoration with curved devil horns from his body. The whole body shone with a gradient of blue and dark purple, and in the center there was a pair of strange amulets with bright purple eyes, and handed it to Leon.

"Dark Amulet: A magical item imbued with the power of darkness. Solidifying it is like solidifying the abyss."

When Leon got the amulet, his first feeling was that it was a bit heavy, and then he felt a slight tingling sensation on the skin of his hand that touched the amulet.

Just as Krobus said, this thing is really dangerous for humans to touch.

Subconsciously wanting to put it into the system backpack, Lyon found that he actually put it in.

This means that the ownership of this dark amulet, according to the system's judgment, belongs to him, which also means that Krobus really gave this thing to him.

"I'll come to you when I'm done here. I'm in a hurry now." Leon was impressed by Krobus's honesty, but he couldn't chat with Krobus for more. After all, no one knew how long it would take Miranda to come back from that secret gathering, and Leon had to seize the time when she was not in the Witch Swamp.

But before leaving, Leon thought of something and asked Krobus, "By the way, Krobus, do you have any Void Mayonnaise? I'd like to buy some."

"Yes, I'll give it to you right away." Krobus turned around and ran towards the altar where he set up his stall. After a while, he came back with a bottle sealed in a glass jar, which contained a mass of black and sticky paste. On this terrible-looking paste, there were some spots with a red luster, and these spots would expand and contract, like a beating heart.

"Void Mayonnaise (Artisan): Thick, paste-like, smells like burnt hair, and doesn't appear to be edible."

"Thanks, how much is it?" Leon accepted the Void Mayonnaise, then took out the mission commission reward paid by the dwarf and prepared to pay the bill.

"500G." Although he really wanted to say that he gave it to Leon, rules are rules, so Krobus still truthfully reported the price of his Void Mayonnaise.

Leon took out 500G and handed it to Krobus: "Okay, I'll leave first. I'll come find you when I'm done here."

"Okay." Krobus took the money and waved his short arms towards Leon.

After saying goodbye to Krobus, Leon climbed back to the surface along the stairs and headed directly towards the northern foothills.

"Did you get it?" Linus, who had been standing on the hillside, greeted him immediately when he saw Leon coming back.

"I got it." Leon nodded and walked uphill to Linus' side: "Old man, do you want to give me a ride?"

"Let's go." Although he didn't want to meet Miranda, Linus could still enter and exit the railway area freely as long as he didn't enter the Witch Swamp.

And for the sake of efficiency, Linus once again demonstrated his ability to accelerate people and used it on Leon, allowing Leon to once again experience the feeling of being as light as a swallow and free from the influence of gravity.
