A farming master in Stardew Valley

Chapter 874 Not Allowed in Principle
"Bishop Owen is joking."

Leon said modestly, but it attracted Roche's contemptuous look.

"Let's go. Although it hasn't officially started yet, the food to entertain the guests is ready. I guess you haven't had breakfast yet." Bishop Owen didn't dwell on this matter.

He turned sideways to show the grass arch behind him: "Please."

"Roche, you go first." Lyon nodded and signaled Roche to go in first.

Roche didn't ask any more questions, but walked directly into the archway and disappeared into the air.

At this time, Leon bumped into Sophia and Abigail again, indicating that they could go in.

Sophia looked at Leon with some confusion, not understanding why Leon came with them when the archway was clearly wide enough for four or five people to pass through in parallel.

But Abigail knew that Leon had something to say to the man called the bishop, so she grabbed Sophia's wrist and led her into the archway.

"Mr. Lyon, what do you want to tell me?"

Abigail could see what Lyon meant, and Bishop Owen could naturally understand it as well.

"It won't take Bishop Owen long, just two sentences." Leon rubbed his hands. Even though there was no one else around, he lowered his voice and asked, "Um, can the church's God-favored Badge allow me to marry multiple wives within the law?"

Bishop Owen was stunned. He originally thought that Leon had some confidential matters to discuss with him, or wanted to provide some important information. At the very least, he wanted to confirm with him again whether he could get the church's bounty. Who would have thought that this guy would actually ask such a topic.

Even Bishop Owen, who had witnessed countless big scenes, had his brain frozen at this moment.

“In principle, it is not allowed.”

But the bishop was a bishop after all, and his mind worked quickly. He resisted the urge to launch a holy baptism attack on Lyon and gave an ambiguous answer.

And this answer is enough for Lyon to know the answer. "Not allowed in principle" is much better than "no problem in principle". He is familiar with official language.

Seeing Lyon smile, Bishop Owen breathed a sigh of relief. As long as Lyon understood what he meant, there would be no problem.

"Go in first. Your two female companions may still be waiting for you. It's not good practice to ignore beautiful ladies."

After answering Lyon's troublesome question, Owen was afraid that Lyon would continue to make trouble, so he hurriedly urged Lyon to come in.

Lyon smiled, then without further ado, walked in through the archway.

The moment he crossed the arch, Lyon saw a simple open-air glass house built under the model of the World Tree. It was square and looked very much like the Water Cube.

Through the glass, you can see guests walking around inside. There are not many of them. Compared with the crowds outside, it is much quieter here.

The furnishings inside were also very simple, with just a long table covered with a ginger-colored tablecloth, a three-tiered structure, and various foods placed on the table, probably in a buffet style.

These don’t look very exquisite, but the portions are very large. However, there are no drinks, which have been replaced by cups of pink juice.

But these are not the main points. What really attracts Lyon's attention are the piles of melons shaped like the mark of Ba stacked under the world tree model.

There were far fewer melons than he had seen on the grass before, but these melon piles could barely encircle the sturdy model of the World Tree. Lyon also saw giant melons among them, four in total, and he believed that two of them were sold by him.

"These are high-quality melons collected from all over the world, including those provided by you, Mr. Lyon. Can you guess where the perfect quality melons are, Mr. Lyon?" Just as Lyon was looking at these melons, Bishop Owen appeared beside Lyon and asked.

"The treetops," Leon guessed.

"That's a good answer, but it's not correct." Bishop Owen smiled and shook his head, then pointed to the cups of pink juice in the simple glass banquet hall. "They're all there."

"It's just for drinking, not for sacrifice?" Lyon frowned when he heard this. He originally thought that the banquet was so simple and monotonous because the church did not like empty formalism. Now it seems that it is not the case.

"Of course it's for drinking, but it's not for guests," Bishop Owen explained.

"Oh, no wonder no one touched it."

Realizing that he had misjudged the subject, Leon noticed after being reminded that none of the few guests in the glass room took the pink melon juice. Instead, they held a small plate and ate the food on their plates while chatting with others.

"It's not that you can't drink it, but no one knows how much perfect quality melon juice will be needed to catalyze the protective net during this ceremony. If there is any left after the ceremony, you'd better act quickly," Bishop Owen reminded.

"Guardian Net? Is it a name for a certain plant or some existence?" Lyon asked curiously.

"Of course it's a plant, and it's the oldest plant cultivated by Ba since the birth of the planet. The seeds it produces are the foundation of maintaining the barrier. After the banquet, these seeds will be taken to various corners of the world by church personnel and planted in order to strengthen the strength of the barrier and isolate most evil creatures from invading natural life." Bishop Owen explained to Lyon.

"What a magical plant." Upon hearing this, Lyon was full of curiosity about this plant called Guardian Net. He was now dealing with various crops in spring, so he was naturally full of curiosity about this divine plant that could protect the world.

Of course, he wanted to know more about whether he could gain a vast amount of farming experience if he planted the plant and harvested the seeds himself.

Unfortunately, Leon felt that the church would not let anyone else touch such an important thing, so he could only wishful thinking.

"Aren't you curious about why I said this?" Bishop Owen looked at Lyon in a daze and couldn't help but remind him.

"Aren't you going to give me some scientific knowledge?" Lyon asked Bishop Owen in confusion.

"That's the reason, but more importantly, I plan to give you a seed from the Guardian Net, and you will plant it in Stardew Valley on behalf of the church." Bishop Owen gave Leon the answer.

"Let me do it?!" Lyon's breathing paused for a moment when he heard the news.

He had only thought about it before, but who would have thought that he could actually get a seed and plant it. Although it was not the guardian net itself, but the seed produced, it was still very rare.

"Of course, after all, Stardew Valley is one of the reserved locations. As for where to plant it, it is up to you, Mr. Lyon. This is not only an honor, but also a responsibility. Are you willing to take on this job, Mr. Lyon?" Bishop Owen asked Lyon with a serious expression.

"Please give it to me." Leon nodded decisively, accepting the honor. He had already considered where to plant it on Red Star Farm, but he still had some concerns: "By the way, Bishop Owen, after planting the seeds of this guardian net, will the soil have high nutritional and water requirements?"

"Just plant them. No fertilizer or watering is needed, and it won't affect your farm in any way," Bishop Owen replied with a smile. "Not only will it have no impact, but it will make the Red Star Farm's barrier more stable, providing you with powerful protection."

　Brothers and sisters, Happy New Year! I wish you all smooth sailing in the new year, success in everything, academic success, a happy and harmonious family, and a successful career.

　　Happy New Year! Happy New Year! Happy New Year! Happy New Year! Happy New Year! Happy New Year!
