"Prince, Ser Oswell Whent is with Prince Rhaegar, and the Kingsguard brothers are in contact."
Ser Gerold coughed lightly, avoiding the prince's teasing gaze.
"So that's how it is."
Daeron would be a fool to believe him.
Oswell Whent didn't even bother to act; he was a known loyalist of Rhaegar.
Both of you died together in the 'Battle of the Tower of Joy'.
Seeing that the prince didn't believe him, Ser Gerold's old face flushed, and he intended to take his leave.
Daeron spoke, "Ser, do you remember what we talked about last time?"
Ser Gerold paused.
Daeron said, "Ser, my journey to Dragonstone this time is to explore Dragonmont and search for any remaining dragon eggs."
Ser Gerold's expression was complex, and he sighed, "Prince, please allow me to remain silent."
More than a hundred years had passed.
Bringing up the past could very likely cause new complications.
"Ser, you've misunderstood."
"I'm not forcing you, but asking you to help me contact Lord Leyton."
Daeron insisted that there was a dragon egg in the Citadel and said, "You know that successive kings of the Targaryen Family have strived to bring dragons back to the world."
"But today, the royal family doesn't even have a dragon egg."
"Ser, this is unreasonable."
Ser Gerold was in a dilemma, unsure how to answer.
Agreeing to contact his family would be tantamount to admitting that the Citadel preserved a dragon egg.
Refusing... as the Lord Commander of the Kingsguard, he admitted that Prince Daeron's words were well-reasoned; the royal family should not be reduced to not even having a dragon egg.
"Ser, whether or not there is a dragon egg in the Citadel, it's not a bad thing for Lord Leyton and me to become pen pals."
Daeron eased the other party's psychological burden.
Ser Gerold took a deep breath, "Prince, please allow me to think about it."
At this point, refusing would be impolite.
Daeron waited for good news.
Both the Citadel and Dragonstone are locations with a probability of yielding dragon eggs, and their importance is equal.
He now controlled the City Watch and had cleared out a third of King's Landing.
Next, he couldn't rush things.
Tomorrow is Spring 25, the day a large batch of strawberries will ripen.
On Spring 26, another batch of strawberries will ripen.
Summer was approaching, and he had to return to Dragon Language Farm to prepare for the first summer.
"Ser Jon, I have a task for you."
Before leaving, Daeron specifically sought out Ser Jon.
He hadn't brought the other party to last night's operation because the Kingsguard symbolized the king and could not participate.
It was better to leave matters of the City Watch to Alliser.
"Prince, what are your orders?"
Ser Jon's spirits lifted.
Daeron instructed him to stay in King's Landing and, as a Kingsguard brother, persuade Ser Gerold on his behalf.
Ser Jon gladly accepted the order... On the way back to the farm, Daeron kept thinking about future plans.
First, the trip to Dragonstone.
This journey was imperative for him.
Not just for Dragonmont, but also to see his elder brother Rhaegar and communicate with him.
Again, communication is the best bridge.
Rhaegar before and after the 'False Spring' was like a completely different person.
Daeron was a bit unsure and needed to test the waters.
Oh, there was also good news in the letter.
His sister-in-law, Elia Martell, was pregnant.
"My little niece Rhaenys Targaryen will be born soon."
Daeron was about to become an uncle.
It was necessary to visit his sister-in-law Elia, whom he had never met.
Father Aerys was terrifyingly paranoid and never gave his children a chance to meet the Princess of Dorne.
Everyone was for the family.
Daeron certainly had to get to know his sister-in-law, Elia Martell, the Princess of Dorne.
In addition, there was the end of spring and preparations for the change of season.
On Spring 25 and Spring 26, two batches of strawberries were waiting to ripen.
With this funding, farm development could no longer be delayed; necessary buildings had to be constructed.
Summer would arrive, coinciding with the trip to Dragonstone.
Before leaving, he needed to craft enough sprinklers to ensure that the planted seeds would grow and ripen even when he wasn't at the farm.
King's Landing to Dragonstone was not far; two days for a round trip would be sufficient.
But he was going to visit his brother and sister-in-law, so he might stay for ten days to half a month.
"I also need to prepare gifts."
Daeron was thorough in his considerations.
The chestnut mare crossed the flat stone bridge and entered the Princes Domain.
"Oh?"
Daeron caught a glimpse of a Daffodil by the roadside.
An old farmer would not abandon any collectible that appeared in his sight.
Pop~~
The daffodil was picked, revealing its essence as a special crop, emitting a warm glow.
Daeron focused his gaze, "Gold Star quality!?"
Following Gold Star quality crops, foraging items also achieved Gold Star quality.
Previously, he had been preoccupied with various matters, busy with fishing and mining, and hadn't paid much attention to his foraging ability.
Now that he had time, he should seize the opportunity to gather a lot before spring ended.
Pop~ pop pop~~
Stopping and starting along the way, Daeron found a foraging item every so often.
Daffodils, Dandelions, Leeks... "All four foraging items collected, to be saved for offerings."
Daeron picked another silver star quality daffodil, intending to save it along with the snow yam Davos handed in, for offerings.
Suddenly, his motion of straightening up paused.
Daeron's eyes were clear, and he murmured, "But without the old community center, and without those little apples, how can I make offerings?"
Little apples, of course, referred to the special race in stardew valley—Junimos.
Junimos are very cute, round and plump, like colorful little apples that have come to life.
Offerings are given to them.
Only when the Junimos are happy will they give feedback with offering rewards.
"Besides Junimos, I haven't even learned [Forest Magic]."
Daeron couldn't help but become serious.
The [Forest Magic] here was not the kind practiced by the Forest Witch, but a special potion brewed by the Wizard in stardew valley.
After consuming it, the farmer gains the special ability [Forest Magic], allowing them to understand the Junimo language.
Daeron opened the panel and checked the offering bundle.
Indeed, once opened, it was a mess of garbled characters, completely unreadable as a language.
He had actually realized this much earlier.
After all, there were no minecarts or buses outside the farm.
But the world was different, so he couldn't force it.
However, the offering items were ready, and the offering bundle existed, but he hadn't learned [Forest Magic] or found the Junimos.
That must be his own problem.
"Perhaps I should look for a Forest Witch."
Daeron considered cautiously.
The Red Comet had arrived early, bringing a magical tide to the world.
special crops and the Life Force system could both align with the stardew valley panel.
Therefore, Junimos and Forest Witches might not be unrelated.
"I'll find a chance to try it."
Daeron made up his mind.
He didn't know a Forest Witch, but Cersei had an acquaintance.
There was a 'Toad' Witch-Queen in the Westerlands... Dragon Language Farm.
"Woof woof woof~~"
As soon as Daeron returned home, the puppy Doro smelled its farmer and trotted over excitedly.
"Good puppy, I didn't spoil you for nothing."
Daeron squatted down and rubbed the little dog all over.
"Woof woof~~"
Doro rolled over, exposing its soft belly, whimpering comfortably.
The man and dog played for a while.
Daeron's mood calmed, and he released the puppy, "Alright, go play."
He still had important matters to attend to.
Doro was very sensible, rubbing against its farmer reluctantly before going to lie on the steps in front of the cabin, wagging its little tail.
"Good dog."
Daeron rubbed the dog's head again, then went inside to rummage through a treasure chest.
10 clumps of clay, 100 pieces of stone, 5 copper bars... these were the materials for building a Silo.
[Silo]: "Allows you to store cut hay."
Choosing Meadowlands Farm gives a head start with one Chicken Coop and two chicks.
Coupled with the more filling Blue Pasture that additionally boosts animal affection, an early livestock-focused playthrough would be very smooth.
A Silo was absolutely an indispensable building.
The blue and green grass on the farm grew wildly; the two chicks couldn't eat it all, and it covered more than half the farm.
According to game understanding, he should harvest the green grass early and store it in the Silo to dry into hay.
Without the green grass crowding it, the blue grass would grow even more luxuriantly.
This was all for future planning.
"Build a Silo!"
Daeron threw the materials into the shipping box, and a panoramic view of Dragon Language Farm appeared on the panel, allowing him to choose a location for the building.
He selected a spot and clicked confirm.
Bang!
With a muffled thud, a wooden platform enclosed by fences appeared next to the Chicken Coop.
That was the construction site for the Silo.
After checking it, Daeron nodded in satisfaction, "With a building cost of 100 gold
and two days, the Silo will be ready for inspection."
