I Was Reincarnated as a Poor Farmer in a Different World, so I Decided to Make Bricks to Build a Castle - Chapter 557

"Why are you here, called the Blue Virgin?

"It's for these kids. These are just children who have lost their parents and their places of destination. I'm taking care of them."

"Here?

"No, the ruins of this sacred city only come at night. The base of life is a little far from here."

Really? So, I'm harvesting and selling a plant called Salt Herb. "

"Exactly. Salt grass is a miracle plant that grows on land where salt no longer grows crops. They take the salt out of the grass and sell it to the merchants, and they take care of the orphans for their profit."

Blue Virgin Mirialia answers my question.

Small children are snuggling up on her body and snuggling on to her clothes.

It seems true that the children here admire you.

Somehow, she was a young woman who made her feel maternal.

"I see. That was tough. But don't lie, Madonna. If possible, I want you to tell me everything without hiding anything from me."

"What are you talking about? I'm not hiding anything."

"Was salt grass a miracle plant that could take salt? No, it's a little different. It may be true that salt grass is a miracle plant. And the fact that salt can be removed from its roots is also true. But aren't they called miracle plants because they can get salt from these plants?

"... what are you trying to say?

"I understood when I received the salt grass from the boy the other day. This is the raw material for the poison. Perhaps the toxicity itself is not strong if it remains intact, but it affects the human body at most when harvested. That's why we're letting the kids pick it."

"... I don't understand what you're saying."

"They're orphans. But it's not a child with no power, is it? It turns out that all the children here are just baptized children, and no one has a name yet. In other words, they can all use magic. Besides, the magic is called the Blue Virgin, a magic you can't use."

"... these kids are just normal kids."

"Perhaps you brought the orphans from the former Kyle territory and the former Guinean territory? These children are expected to be children of lands previously occupied by Marshall Mercenaries Naja. It was already baptized by the priest of the church that ruled the land at the time when he was killed by Najah."

…………

"These kids should be able to use it. The Poison Deactivation spell. With [poison deactivation], you can collect salt grass that can be used as a raw material for poisons without affecting the human body. No matter how powerful the miracle plants are, But you can't use Poison Deactivation yourself. So they're using children."

"Salt grass is a more ancient plant. It's been used to reclaim land where salt damage is particularly severe. What makes you think it's poison?

"I can see that. Poison Nullification is the magic I created. I applied all kinds of poison to my body, swallowed it from my mouth, endured the suffering, and sublimated myself to magic. As a result, I understand. I wonder if the plant is toxic. Probably it's still slightly poisonous if you just collect it, but I think if you refine it, you'll be able to produce a drug with a pretty strong effect, right?

"Stay away from me a little. I need to talk to this person for a moment."

While I was being guided by Mirialia, I was observing the salt grass given to me by the boy.

That's when I realized.

This salt grass is toxic.

My body was a poison detector by repeating experiments with Meem.

At that time, I used Meem's available drugs on my body to create a magic called [poison deactivation].

The magic still serves as a spell to deal with unknown poisons.

This is the case, for example, with the poison from Fox Valley, which was once said to be inhabited by Nine Tails.

It was because of this [poison deactivation] that I was able to go to a place filled with poison where no one was allowed to approach and recover the flame ore.

Others helped me eat unknown foods in the western seas and jungles.

That means I'm fine with poisons I've never experienced before, and I'm almost immune to all poisons.

Besides, I can deal with poison without using magic myself.

Touching the poison without using Poison Nullification almost unconsciously responds to the body.

And that makes me feel good.

This salt grass is not just a plant.

That's why I told the boy to meet the leader when I knew he was letting the kids collect salt and stuff like that.

I didn't think you could catch such a big fish.

Blue Virgin Mirialia.

I've heard stories about people who have beautiful, long blue hair and are very popular.

I didn't know such a person was gathering poison ingredients here.

I won't let you say I didn't know.

It is unlikely that even the next Pope will be completely ignorant of the efficacy of salt grass.

We decided to move the place so that we wouldn't be listened to by the worried boys, in order to hear from them what they were thinking and doing.
