A farming master in Stardew Valley

Chapter 127 I do good things without expecting anything in return

Leon, who was targeted by Haley, was riding his bike towards the library.

"Hey Gunther, here I am again."

As soon as he entered the library, Leon greeted the library director Gunther with ease.

"Mr. Leon, welcome. Are you here to read books or to make a donation?" Gunther was very happy to see Leon. After all, there were only a few people in the town who often came to the library, but Leon was different. Leon was not only a reader, but also a donor.

"I brought some goodies for you to identify."

Leon glanced at the library and found that he and Gunther were the only two people in the library. He took out the antiques he had obtained in the mine yesterday from the system backpack without hesitation.

A heavy, metal-plated dwarven helmet and two dwarven scrolls.

"It seems that Mr. Leon has started to explore abandoned mines." Gunther was immediately attracted by these three items.

"Mr. Gunther still has a sharp eye." Leon praised, and at the same time he was sighing that as expected, in front of the big guys, they didn't care about his ability to take things from the system backpack remotely.

Gunther explained, "After all, dwarves usually only live in underground mines. Knowing this, it's easy to guess where you've been, Mr. Leon, based on these artifacts related to dwarven civilization."

"Speaking of which, I have a question. The thing Mr. Gunther gave me last time triggered a special ability, allowing me to see some illusory things called ancient spots. The appearance of these things means that there must be some ancient artifacts or other things buried under the land where they exist. However, I can't see any ancient spots in the mine. Does Mr. Gunther know about this situation?"

The purpose of coming to Lyon is not only to donate antiquities, but also to consult about the special ability of the Ancient Mystery.

"This question is very interesting. If Mr. Lyon is interested, I can talk to you about it." Gunther raised his head and looked at Lyon, then took out two chairs from the side and motioned Lyon to sit down.

"I wonder what Mr. Lyon thinks of Yuba?"

As soon as he sat down, Gunther asked Leon.

"The God of Creation, the world was created by Him." Leon replied.

"Indeed, this is the legend of Yuba, but besides Yuba, do you think there is a possibility of other gods, Mr. Lyon?" Gunther nodded and continued to ask.

"Not sure, I haven't studied the mythology system." Lyon responded, shaking his head.

"Okay, let me put it another way. The ancient spots exist because of the echoes of eternal life. These echoes are formed from the remains of vengeful spirits who died unnatural deaths and were rejected by the land. Yuba is the creator god, the origin of life, and the light. Death, or darkness, which is the opposite of life, is the domain of another god. The bone fragment from before came from his remains."

Gunther casually revealed a piece of news that shocked Leon.

"Because this deity's past has been forgotten with their fall, I don't know their name either. But one thing I know for sure is that they possess absolute control over the dead. That's why you can see the Ancient Spots after obtaining the Ancient Mysteries." "The mine is different. It was actually a mineral treasure trove built by Yuba to satisfy his own hobby of forging. Therefore, within the mine, Yuba's rules and preferences repel the power of the Death Deity, which is considered to be their opposite. That's why you can't see the remains of vengeful spirits, or Ancient Spots, on the artifacts in the mine."

After saying this, Gunther stood up and held the dwarf's helmet in his hands. "Dwarves are the servants who once served Yoba. They are also the guardians Yoba uses to watch over the mines. Of course, Yoba needs them to protect the peace of the mines, not the minerals. Aside from humans and dwarves, any dangerous creatures that set foot in the mines will be considered threats and enemies by the dwarves."

"So this is why the dwarves started an elemental war with the shadow people?" Leon asked.

"Yes, this is one of the origins of the Elemental War. Of course, there are other factors, such as the opposition between elements, differences in beliefs, etc., which are the main reasons for the Elemental War." Gunther continued to explain.

"If the dwarves believe in Yuba, what about the Shadow People?" Lyon continued to ask.

"Maybe it's the god who left no name. I'm not sure, after all, I don't have much contact with the Shadow People." Gunther replied.

"I do know a shadow man who seems to believe in Yuba." Leon said, thinking of Krobus.

"You mean Krobus in the sewer?" Gunther glanced at Leon and said, "How did you get into the sewer? I have the key."

"Um, I went in through the water outlet." Realizing that he had exposed something, Leon had to answer truthfully.

"It's okay to be curious, but being too curious about unknown areas can easily put you in danger." Gunther helplessly warned Leon, "If the person in the sewer isn't Krobus, but a normal Shadow Maniac, you'll be in trouble."

"There's Mage Rasmodes's Mage Tower in the Coal Forest. If I were really in danger, he would probably help me."

Leon explained that after all, he dared to enter the sewer because, on the one hand, he knew that Krobus in the sewer was a special existence with good and lawful tendencies, and on the other hand, he knew that Rasmodes was nearby and he had a big figure to rely on.

"Oh? You actually know the Guardian? No wonder you are so confident." Gunther suddenly realized what was going on, then stared at Leon for a long time, and finally silently took out a rusty key.

"Next time, use the key to enter through the sewer entrance next to the Pelican Town Cemetery. I originally planned to give you the key after you donated sixty copies, so that you could meet Krobus, the special merchant who lives in the sewers. But now, this surprise is no longer necessary."

"Ahem, thank you." Lyon took the key a little embarrassedly and put it into his backpack.

Gunther waved his hand. "Counting the three relics you brought this time, you've already collected five. I was planning to give you a gift as a reward and a thank you, but now the only gift I have is this key."

"It's okay. I do good things without expecting anything in return." Thinking about the five donations of antiques and the fact that Gunther's gift was cauliflower seeds, Lyon was not very interested, so he said this with great righteousness.

On the contrary, Gunther thought that Leon was telling the truth, and he smiled happily and said, "Mr. Leon, I admire your noble qualities."

　Thanks to Brother Zhao Yi Ba for the 100 starting coins reward, and thanks to the boss for his support. I wish the boss good health.
