Chapter 83: Grandpa’s Letter
“That’s good.” The Wizard let out a breath of relief before adding, “You should already know Krobus. I hope you continue to treat him kindly. He’s a rather unique Shadow Marauder, but he won’t pose any threat to you or the townsfolk.”
“Of course, we’re already friends,” Leon nodded. “So you came here just for this, Wizard?”
“That was just something I asked in passing. The main reason I came was to handle a request from an old friend.” The Wizard extended his palm downward.
The ground beneath their feet began to ripple and churn. Clumps of soil rolled together into a smooth, square model. More earth gathered onto it, slowly forming a small house and a miniature vegetable garden in the style of a sandbox model.
Leon recognized it at a glance—it was a perfect likeness of his Red Star Farm. While impressed by the Wizard’s craftsmanship, he couldn’t help but wonder why he’d gone through the trouble. Surely it wasn’t just to show off.
“When your grandfather passed away, he sent me a letter. As he instructed, I cremated his remains and buried them near my Wizard’s Tower. Now that you’ve inherited this farm, I intend to return his shrine to the land he loved most.”
Having finished shaping the farm model, the Wizard explained himself.
“I need you to decide where on the farm he should rest.”
Leon’s head began to ache at the explanation. Forget the fact that his grandfather’s affairs had been handled by the Wizard; the idea of casually relocating a grave was jarring.
