The Reincarnated Sage ~I Will Forge the Strongest Empire in the Demon Forest!~

Beramus first decided to build a farm.

There is no large vacant land in this village, but there are small vacant lots here and there.

There is no need to produce that much land at first, so he decided to use a small vacant lot for farming.

The first question is what we are going to grow, and we have already decided on what we are going to grow.

It's called Meroon.

The meroon is characterized by its whisker-like flowers and grows in the forests around the village.

The plant produces a large crop of small berries that it eats, but cannot eat in its normal state. The berries are poisonous.

It is poisonous and will not kill you, but it will paralyze you for two days.

Neither boiling nor roasting will erase the poison.

So the goblins will never eat it, but there is a way to make Merune edible.

That is to grow them using a water called 'magic water'.

Magical water is water made with magic.

Magical water also has a poisonous component that is fine in small doses, but after consuming a certain amount, symptoms such as headaches and vomiting will occur.

If you use magic water to grow meroons, you can eat them normally. They are actually sweet and tasty.

The principle of why the poison disappears is unknown.

Beramus walked around the nearby woods and gathered ten stalks of meroon.

The berries are ready to go to seed.

With ten plants, he could grow quite a lot of meroons, since each plant is loaded with berries.

As for where to grow the meroons, there is a large vacant lot near my house in Beramus.

He asked Aretha if he could use it for farming.

"What is knotweed?

It's about growing edible plants.

'Hoon, that sounds interesting. ...... is what Vellums has, not Meroon! You're not going to grow that?

Yes.

You can't eat that! I had a terrible experience as a child. If you're going to grow something, you'll have to grow something else!

It's okay. There's a way to grow these things to eat.

...... Really? You can't boil it or bake it, it's inedible.

We'll just change the water we use to grow them and they'll be fine.

Really? ......?

You seemed skeptical, but Aretha gave them permission to use the land.

Then I found two other sites that could be used for farming and asked permission from the nearby goblins.

They all gave permission, but they were skeptical that Merune would be able to eat.

First, we need to plant some land.

First, they would have to cultivate the land near their home.

Using soil magic, it will be done pretty quickly.

I estimate that I can grow about forty meroons on this land.

After that, I'll get Aretha and Delarosa to help me plant the seeds.

Delarosa tries to eat some meroons along the way, so I do my best to stop her.

Finish sowing.

Then it's time to water the plants with a little magic.

"Small Cloud.

"The magic of the small cloud. It's the magic of making little clouds.

Clouds forming over the farmland.

"Woo-woo cloud-dar.

'Magic can make clouds too, Ka ...... demo, I said I'd water them, Ni, it doesn't look like it's raining.'

The clouds were white and no rain was falling.

Bellamus faced the clouds and cast another spell.

"Water Cannon.

"The water cannons are water bullet magic.

There's quite a bit of water in there.

When the water hits the clouds, the water is absorbed by them.

And the clouds turned gray quickly, and then it started to rain.

Ooh-ooh-raindah.

"This way we can water evenly and efficiently.

Magic is useful. ......

By the way, the small cloud disappears after a few minutes.

Don't drink the water coming down from this cloud, son. It's bad for you.

Vellums advised.

'It's bad for you, Ka ......? Wait a minute, how can you grow poisonous plants in bad water and then be able to eat them?

It seems Aretha's suspicions have grown.

Then I magically placed an invisible shield over Smallcloud.

We needed to shield the area from normal rain, as normal rain would be bad.

More shields will be placed around the field.

This shield can last for about two weeks.

Then the other areas are tilled, planted and watered in the same way.

If they grow well, I should have about 130 meroons in all.

It is possible to magically speed up the growth of the crop, so they will be ready to eat in about two weeks.

Sooner or later, Bellamus thought he should build a bigger farm, but for now, this much should improve the food situation to some extent.

After we finish building the farm, we will rebuild the house.
