A farming master in Stardew Valley

Chapter 863 Balance
the other side.

Leon ran all the way to Pelican Town and rushed directly into Pierre's grocery store. Under the surprised eyes of the customers and the confused look of Pierre, he ran to the living area at the back without any hesitation.

First he went to Abigail's room, then the hall and kitchen, and finally the sunroom behind the kitchen, but Leon didn't see any trace of Abigail.

"Leon, what's wrong with you?" In the sunroom, Caroline, who was watering the plants on the shelf, looked at Leon's hurried appearance and asked in confusion.

"Caroline, good morning. Is Abigail back?" Although Leon was anxious, he still remained polite and asked Caroline.

"No," Caroline answered truthfully. "What's wrong with you?"

"A little, but I can handle it. If Abigail comes back, please let me know privately. Please."

Upon learning that Abigail did not return to her parents' home, Leon said goodbye to Caroline and ran away quickly.

After that, Lyon searched around Pelican Town like a headless fly, but he couldn't find Abigail. Then he bravely went to the Mage Tower, but the door of the Mage Tower was tightly closed. No matter how loudly Lyon knocked, he got no response.

I don’t know if there is no one inside or the people inside don’t want to see him.

Finally, realizing that this was not a problem, Leon could only turn around and leave, looking for another person who could help.

But after arriving at Linus's tent, Leon noticed that there was no one here. The tent was open, but there was no one there. There was no trace of Linus in the nearby mountain lakes, and no one knew where the old man had gone, including on the railway.

When Lyon returned from the railway area, he was surprised to find that Linus had returned without him noticing.

But unlike the Linus seen in the dungeon before, Linus now looked a little dusty and dirty, most of his silver-white beard was burned off, his clothes were tattered, and there were many tiny wounds on the exposed skin.

"Old man, I'm sorry."

Looking at Linus's appearance, Leon could probably guess that it might be related to himself. It might be because he was taken away that Linus suffered the anger of Rasmodesm. He immediately apologized sincerely and handed over a bottle of life potion.

"It's okay." Linus waved his hand to comfort Leon. Although he looked embarrassed, his injuries were mostly superficial. After all, it was not a fight to the death, so he and Rasmodesmodis had restrained themselves. If he hadn't seen that Rasmodesmodis just wanted to vent his frustration, and he was a little in the wrong as a peacemaker, he might not even have his clothes damaged after this fight.

"As for you, you should be more careful about your influence in the future. After all, that girl is Rasmodes' blood relative and his successor. Before you provoke her, you should consider that there are people backing her."

"Oh." Leon sighed. He knew this, but sometimes things happened so suddenly.

"Drink it. It's a potion that can heal your injuries. Don't be shy, or I'll be guilty."

Leon urged as he uncorked the life potion and put it into Linus's hand.

"Hmm? A life potion with very high purity, but it's not made by Rasmodesm. Where did you get it?" After taking the potion, Linus did not rush to drink it. Instead, he held it in his hand and observed it for a moment. He sniffed the smell of the potion and asked curiously.

"I made it myself. The ingredients aren't too difficult. I still have a few bottles. Take some, and if you're short, I'll have more." Leon waved his hand. He'd always made a life potion whenever he could gather the ingredients, intending to keep it for himself in times of crisis. But the more he accumulated, the more he never had the chance to use one. "I didn't realize you had such a talent," Linus said, knowing Leon's expression of no regret or pain. He knew he was telling the truth. This thing wasn't a rare thing for Leon, so he happily drank the potion.

"Tsk tsk tsk, rich vitality, and that undeniable smell of mushrooms and soil, it's not just for show."

After taking the potion, the wounds on Linus' body began to recover visibly, but the recovery effect was not significant. The wounds only scabbed over and did not heal completely.

"This?" Seeing this situation, Leon was stunned. The description of the life potion didn't say that it could completely heal the body's injuries. Why did it feel like there was such a significant gap between the item description and its actual use?

"That's normal. This amount of vitality is completely sufficient for an ordinary person to heal, but it's far less effective for me. My physical strength and life level are different, so the effect is naturally greatly reduced. It's like you can use glue to stick together paper, but not steel. It's a little useful, but not much."

Linus explained to Leon with a smile.

"If I drink it, will it be more effective?" Leon felt a little uneasy after hearing this explanation. He prepared so many potions just to save his life at the critical moment. If the effect is not significant, then rushing straight to the 100th floor of the Skeleton Mine would be equivalent to losing an insurance policy.

"It should be quite effective. After all, your current physical condition can only be considered excellent, not to such an exaggerated degree. If you don't believe it, you can try it." Linus suggested to Leon with a smile.

Lyon heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this. As long as it was useful, it was good. Although Linus' words hinted that he was a weakling now and there was a huge gap between him and him, Lyon had long been accustomed to the Versailles remarks of these big guys. As long as the result was beneficial, it was fine. He was not so petty as to care about these ridicules.

"What are your plans for the future? After all, the trouble has already happened, you have to find a way to clean it up yourself."

Motioning for Leon to sit down, Linus found a kettle from somewhere and drank water while asking Leon.

"Of course, but I have to find Abigail first." Leon explained: "I came to you this time just to ask you where she went."

"Castle Village, west of the Calico Desert, is located on the border of the Crimson Desert. She has a good relationship with the witch in Castle Village and should be living there." Linus actually knew Abigail's situation because he and Rasmodes had fought in the Crimson Desert.

And when he came back from the fight, Rasmodes went to the Castle Village to say hello.

"Castle Village? How do I get there?" Lyon felt relieved immediately after hearing this, and at the same time asked for the route to Castle Village.

"That place is on the border. Although it is not as deep as the Starfall Land, it is not a place that ordinary people can go. You'd better stay there honestly. The little girl is quite safe there. Don't forget, you still have to attend the Summer Carnival in a few days." Linus advised.

"But, I."

"No buts. You won't be able to see that girl now, but I guarantee you'll see her at the Summer Carnival. It'll only be a few days. And don't just think about Abigail. There's another little girl wandering around your farm who needs your attention too."

Linus reminded him with a wicked smile on his face, "How to maintain a balance is what you need to consider now. While enjoying the envy of others, you also need to pay some costs that others don't need to consider."
