Chapter 251: The Mysterious Benefactor
Hearing this, Brother Bear lay back down and reminded him, “If you ever run into that kind of enemy again, come find me. I’ll handle it for you.”
“Brother Bear, you should keep guarding the Secret Woods. Besides, I’m a warrior too—I can still protect myself,” Leon reassured him.
As tempting as Brother Bear’s offer was, Leon worried that if he dragged him out to fight, the Secret Woods might get invaded. That would be a real mess.
“You’re right. I can’t leave Stardew Valley for too long,” Brother Bear said with a resigned sigh. “After all, the desert near the forest is never peaceful. If I’m gone too long, they might take advantage of it.”
Then Brother Bear tilted his head and asked, “By the way, that big snake you mentioned—it was once human and could talk. So would it count as human or as a Child of the Wilds?”
“No idea.” Leon shrugged. “I asked Wizard Rasmodius about it and looked into its history. Turns out, it was a witch’s experiment.”
“A witch, huh? No wonder. Most witches are a little unhinged. Even the Guardian’s ex-wife was a witch, and she—”
Before Brother Bear could finish, the ground trembled beneath them. He quickly shut his mouth. “Ahem. Leon, you’d better head back. I still need to patrol the forest. I won’t keep you.”
“Understood. See you, Brother Bear.” Leon nodded and waved goodbye.
