A farming master in Stardew Valley

Chapter 960 Roots
"Grandpa, the village chief."

Yuzu, who was standing by, only noticed Shui Teng's appearance at this time and immediately greeted him politely. At the same time, he placed his slender hands in front of him, lowered his body, and looked like a good baby.

"Yuzu, go take care of the other guests first. I'll talk to this guest." Shui Teng suggested after glancing at Yuzu.

Yuzu nodded immediately and ran away, and Shui Teng no longer paid attention to Yuzu. Instead, he invited Leon, "Let's go to the lake. There are some things I don't want these kids to hear."

"Please." Leon nodded, and then came to the lake with Shui Teng.

After Leon sat down cross-legged, Shui Teng also sat opposite Leon, looking at the calm lake in front of him and slowly speaking: "First of all, welcome to the village. I have learned from Yuzu about your help to it and the matter of Apple. I would like to thank you for your kindness."

"It should be. After all, the Junimos are very cute and kind. Not many people can stand by and watch such beautiful creatures." Leon replied.

"Yes, but there are bad guys eyeing us. But fortunately, Stardew Valley is at least safe. People with malicious intentions cannot enter this forest and find our village." Shui Teng said with a smile, and then looked Leon up and down.

"Can I ask you a question, my friendly guest?"

"You please." Leon nodded.

"Have you ever been to the spirit world?" Shui Teng asked.

"I guess I have been there." Leon answered unsteadily, stroking his chin. After all, he didn't know whether his trip to the spirit world in his dream counted as a trip he had made.

"No wonder there are still traces of the spirit world on your body, plus the forest magic on your body. If you were not still alive and still so young, I would almost think that I had met the bigwigs of the spirit world." Shui Teng sighed.

"Not now, maybe in the future?" Leon joked. After all, he knew that those who possessed forest magic would enter the spirit world after death. If his grandfather had not retired in the spirit world by then, perhaps he would have the possibility of becoming the big man that Shui Teng mentioned.

"Hahaha, this kind of talk is not suitable for you now. After all, you are still too young, and life is precious."

Shui Teng reluctantly reminded Leon, then rubbed his hands awkwardly, and hesitated for a moment before speaking: "Can you tell me what the current situation is in the spirit world? I haven't been back for a long time."

"As for the spirit world, it should be similar to before. I'm not too sure, after all, I haven't been there many times." Leon replied.

"That's good that there are no changes. It seems that the bigwigs are still sticking to their duties." Shui Teng breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and his expression calmed down.

"You said you haven't been back to the spirit world for a long time, so you asked me about the current situation in the spirit world. But didn't those Junimos who moved from the spirit world bring you any news about the spirit world?" Leon asked with some confusion.

"Um, it was Yuzu who told you this, right?" Shui Teng's expression became embarrassed when he heard Leon's question.

"Hmm." Lyon looked at the water vine and noticed something was wrong.

"Actually, among all the Junimos in the village, I'm the only one from the spirit world. The reason Yuzu thinks so is because I instilled memories into them."

Shui Teng said this, glanced at the Junimos who were already playing with Abigail Sophia, and continued, "You should have noticed the difference between us. Except for me, all the Junimos in this village are particularly large, right?"

"Yes, Yuzu told me they're adults, but I think that's what you told them," Leon said, looking at Shui Teng. "That's right, Junimos don't grow up. We've been this size since birth, but Yuzu and the others are a bit special," Shui Teng said slowly, nodding.

"They are not Junimos in the traditional sense, at least they are not born in the spirit world.

Their birth is related to the elemental battlefield. This tragic battle caused the emergence of a large number of souls, but the channels to the spiritual world and the spiritual world itself could not accommodate so many souls crossing at once, so some of the souls that should have entered the spiritual world and returned to their essence remained in the material world.

Most of these souls were accepted by nature and reshaped, or were transformed into vengeful spirits because they were too close to the dark elements. The experiences of the souls in Stardew Valley were the most special, because this forest once belonged to the elves, and in the elves' territory, there was always an elven spring blessed and favored by nature, which symbolized nature's favor for the elves.

During the war in this forest, many elven souls were unable to enter the spirit world. Consequently, nature intervened and sent them to the Elven Spring. Purified by nature, they were reborn into the various natural life forms of the material world. Some of the purest souls were shaped into Junimos, healing the war-torn land. This is how the children of this village came to be.

This special situation has also attracted the attention of the spirit world, so I was sent here as a guide to teach these fellows born in the material world that the Junimos in the spirit world are born with knowledge and cognition."

"I see." Lyon suddenly realized that if this was true, then many things would make sense.

For example, why do these Junimos take pride in signing contracts in dilapidated buildings, but the words they write are very awkward? For example, why is it that even though the apple is not in the forest, Yuzu can still sense the scent of the apple in the forest.

However, while understanding it, Leon also looked at the water vine. It said so many things to him, it must have other ideas.

Noticing Leon's inquiring gaze, Shui Teng continued without pausing, "And I actually have my own selfish motives when I say this."

"Just say it." Lyon nodded with a smile, probably guessing what Shui Teng wanted to say.

"I would like to ask you to go to the spirit world and ask the current managers of the spirit world to send a new guide for these children." Shui Teng's idea made Leon stunned.

I originally thought that Shui Teng wanted me to help let these Zhuni demons enter the spirit world.

"I am already very old. Time is fair to all life. Although the lifespan of Junimos is very long, it still has its limits. I am not afraid of death, but these children are not ready yet. They need a caretaker." Shui Teng's tone became a little low when he said this.

"No problem." Lyon assured Shui Teng seriously.

"Thank you, sir." Shui Teng received a positive response and smiled again.

"I'm sorry for wasting your time. I hope you can have a pleasant time here. These kids haven't been in contact with outsiders for a long time. I hope they won't cause you any trouble."

"Hahaha, actually this is quite good. After all, they don't have any bad intentions, right?" Lyon joked.

"I hope you can maintain this positive attitude in the future."

Shui Teng looked at Lyon meaningfully, and then asked Lyon to return to the center of the village.
