A farming master in Stardew Valley

Chapter 898 Confrontation
"How could that be? You're joking. Even if I really had this thought, it has little to do with my own will."

Leon answered sincerely, but Rasmodes and Linus didn't believe him at all.

However, they did not continue to challenge Lyon on this topic. Lasmodes spoke first.

"Your previous condition was really bad. If possible, I hope you can use less of this power. After all, it belongs to a god. Even though this god has fallen for a long time, this power is still not something that ordinary people can easily control."

Linus also agreed: "Like you said, it's a double-edged sword. You also need to be careful about the damage that the blade pointing towards you may cause."

"Yeah." Lyon nodded obediently, indicating that he would still listen to the advice.

Seeing that Leon was not just being perfunctory and really listened, Lasmodes and Linus did not continue to repeat words like precautions.

"We've tried almost everything. Let's go to the farm. We still need to plant the seedlings of the Guardian Net quickly. If there are any special situations, we can help find a solution."

With Linus's reminder, the experiment ended. Rasmodesm obviously didn't like walking, so he took the initiative to grab Leon and Linus' arms, and the next second, the three of them were directly teleported to the Red Star Farm.

"I haven't noticed for a month, but your farm is already in good shape now."

After landing, Linus immediately turned his attention to the farm. When he saw the scene which was completely different from before, he was quite relieved.

Rasmodesmos grumbled with a straight face, "He's a far cry from when the old man was here. He's still too young. If he were willing to spend the time he spends dealing with girls on agricultural research, perhaps he would gain more."

"That's why the old guy never got married in his life. Don't follow his example." Linus said bluntly, obviously not agreeing with Rasmodesmodis's point of view.

Seeing that the two were about to argue with each other again, Leon quickly said, "Plant the protective net first. What do you think of me planting it in this position?"

After saying that, Lyon pointed his finger to the center of the Red Star Farm. That piece of land had not been used yet and was covered with a thin layer of grass. Compared with the vacant land used for growing crops on the farm, it looked much more primitive and natural.

"It doesn't matter where you plant it. After all, it's your own farm and you plan it yourself." Rasmodesmodis didn't care about these details, but his attention was attracted and he gave up arguing with Linus.

"It's great here. There's nothing blocking the view. If there's any problem, we can spot it at a glance." Linus approved of Lyon's choice.

"Then I'll start."

After making sure there was no problem, Lyon took out his hoe, walked towards the selected location, and started digging a hole.

Although covered with turf, the soil dug out from under the turf is actually of the same quality as other places. The slightly sticky black-brown soil is quite loose and extremely fertile.

After a hole of suitable size appeared, Leon placed the protective net wrapped in Yuba soil into the hole, and then filled the empty gap with the excavated soil.

There are no accidents or precautions during the planting process. You just need to dig a hole and bury some soil, and there is no need to count one, two, three, four, or five.

"Let's water it." Rasmodes suggested from the side.

"No need, and do you know how to farm?" Linus looked at Rasmodesmus with disdain and sneered.

"Indeed, there's no need for that. Bishop Julis told me that once we plant it, we don't need to pay attention to it. It will take root and grow on its own, absorbing the nutrients and water in the soil." Lyon explained.

"So it's over now?" Rasmodesm was still a little unconvinced. After all, this was a protective net. How could the planting process be so simple and casual?
"I think so." Lyon didn't know what the requirements were for planting the seedlings of the Guardian Net.

Linus squatted in front of the protective net plant and observed for a moment: "Well, that's good. I feel that it has begun to take root in the soil and has begun to sprout new life. It's in good condition." "That's no problem." Although it was a bit embarrassing to be ridiculed by Linus for knowing nothing about agriculture, Rasmodes still recognized Linus' insight and understanding of nature and plants.

"Then do you think I need to arrange a scarecrow to drive away crows?" Leon thought of the question that he had not received an answer from Bishop Julis before.

"Crow? That shouldn't be necessary." Linus was stunned when he heard that, and spoke uncertainly after a long time.

"No need to worry about crows anymore. From now on, there will be no crows running loose in this land."

Rasmodesm was quite confident about this. Although he didn't know much about agriculture, he knew magic.

After the Guardian Net seedlings were planted, Rasmodesm gradually became aware of the magical fluctuations and aura emanating from the Guardian Net seedlings. He also noticed that this magical power that could not be captured by the naked eye began to transform into an intangible network and began to spread outward with the plant as the center.

The most obvious impact was the protective barrier that originally covered the Red Star Farm.

Compared to before, the barrier is more stable and thicker, and its strength in isolating evil forces has increased several times. Even if it is Rasmodesm himself, it will probably take a lot of effort to destroy this barrier.

"So there won't be any crows on the farm anymore?" Lyon was quite curious when he heard that.

“It’s not that they won’t, but some special types of crows will be completely isolated.

In the magical world, crows are special creatures that have a natural affinity for elements and are affected by various elemental forces.

Depending on their habits and the types of elements they come into contact with, crows also possess various characteristics. Some crows that have come into contact with the power of nature's primitive elements will grow into familiars with weak magical powers under the training of magicians, becoming more intelligent and powerful.

The crows that delivered the letter to you before belong to this category. They will not steal seeds in the soil or newly grown plant sprouts, nor will they be affected by guardian magic.

Another type of crow that comes into contact with the dark element will be assimilated into a half-monster that hates nature.

The crows that like to steal plants and seeds from various farms belong to this type. As half-monsters, they have a natural greed and destructive desire for plants full of vitality, so they will target the plants grown on various farms and eat them. It is instinctive.

Crows infected by the dark power will be expelled by the barrier strengthened by the Guardian Net strains."

Rasmodes explained seriously, glancing at Linus with disdain as a response to his previous ridicule.

"Is there such a reason?" Leon didn't pay attention to the two old men's angry behavior. Instead, he was full of interest in the new knowledge he learned: "If this is the case, why doesn't anyone specifically hunt these polluted crows?"

"Because they are only half-contaminated and haven't completely turned into monsters, there's no need to target them deliberately. And they're easy to target. A scarecrow can isolate the threat they pose. I didn't even consider this before I set up the protective barrier here." Rasmodes explained.

"It all comes down to you not being able to isolate those little things accurately." Linus said sarcastically.

"Do you know magic? I told you, there's no need!" Rasmodes retorted at Linus with a glare.

Seeing that the two of them had started arguing again, Leon looked at them with a headache. In the end, he gave up the idea of ​​helping to resolve the conflict and just walked away.

Let them be. He had done his best anyway. Instead of wasting time on these two old men bickering, he might as well go help out in the kitchen.
