Chapter 255: Information on Exclusive Bait
“Rasmodius, you’re underestimating me now. Sure, I’m a very affectionate person, but I do have my principles. A man shouldn’t hang himself on just one tree.”
Leon spoke righteously, looking Rasmodius straight in the eye.
“What if I told you that among the merfolk, a man can have multiple wives—as long as he has the ability?” Rasmodius replied calmly.
“Then maybe living in the ocean wouldn’t be such a bad idea,” Leon said, stroking his chin.
“…”
He had only meant to tease Leon, but the guy actually seemed to be considering it. Rasmodius’ expression darkened instantly. “Then I wish you a pleasant life in the sea.”
“I was just saying ‘maybe’—I haven’t decided yet,” Leon quickly explained, steering the conversation elsewhere. “By the way, Rasmodius, is your daily job to watch over Stardew Valley? How come you always show up so quickly whenever something happens?”
“That’s not called watching. It’s called guarding. Besides, when a mermaid appears in Stardew Valley, how could I possibly miss it? The commotion from teleportation magic might be undetectable to ordinary people, but to an arcanist, it’s like a lighthouse in the dark—hard to miss, wouldn’t you say?” Rasmodius replied without a hint of shame.
“Uh, that makes sense. But what about times when there’s no special event—how do you still know when we’re talking about you?” Leon had been wondering about this for a long time. Now that the topic had come up, he was determined to get an answer. Otherwise, having someone always watching over him would feel… weird.
