Reincarnated as a Farmer Gamer: Rising to the Top with the Evolution of the Weakest Job that Only I Know About!? - 44.2

Damn! This feeling of being kept in suspense… It’s addictive!

“Hehe. Beryl is like my cute grandchild, so it’s fine. Also, you’ll probably bring magic stones when you get some, so it’s a matter of mutual benefit. It’s faster to show you than to explain.”

I followed Lady Evans and Lisa as she stood up.

Descending the stairs from the living room to the basement, we came to a row of four doors leading to the underground storage.

“The other three are food storage rooms, but beyond this door――――”

Beyond the door――――

“Hm? Lady Evans? There’s nothing here?”

“That’s right. It’s an empty room.”

“An empty room…”

“There are several reasons I chose this house, but this room is the largest. Now, watch closely.”

Lady Evans then recited an incomprehensible string of words.

A mysterious blue light illuminated everywhere in the room, which then became several lines that circulated throughout the room.

“Beryl. Do you know what this is?”

I’ve seen something like this before… But it’s slightly different from what I know.

“I think it’s something magical… But it seems different from ordinary magic?”

“It’s close to magic, but it’s not ordinary magic. This is―――― a power called dragon vein. It’s the magic of the earth.”

The magic of the earth… I see. So that’s it.

“As for what you can do with this… By connecting here to the end of the dragon vein and opening a gate, you’ll be able to pass through anytime.”

“Anytime…? What does that mean?”

“It means just as it sounds. You can go from here to the other side in an instant.”

“That’s amazing. But it doesn’t seem easy to connect.”

“That’s right. For now, I’ll connect it to the forest east of the capital, so take this and insert it into the ground there.”

Lady Evans handed me a short sword.

“Be careful to choose the place you insert it into, as it will become the transfer location.”

“Is it okay for me to decide?”

“Of course. You’ll be the one using it the most from now on.”

“Understood. I’ll go right away!”

As I was about to leave, Lisa followed me.

We arrived at a nearby carriage station and boarded a carriage heading east through the forest.

Unlike games, the fare is fixed even for short trips.

It wasn’t a large amount, so I paid for Lisa as well.

The carriage carrying us left the capital and ran along the main road heading east.

After a while, a vast forest appeared to the north from the main road.

“Boy! We’re getting close to the Deer Forest!”

“Yes.”

The people traveling with us stared at us with curious eyes.

Entering the forest at this late hour means we’ll almost certainly have to camp out. It’s understandable that they’re wondering.

The carriage didn’t stop and slowed down slightly as I carried Lisa in a princess carry and jumped down.

“Lisa? Are you hurt anywhere?”

“N-no! I’m perfectly fine!”

“Alright. Once we’re in the forest, can you ask Ponta for help?”

“Sure!”

We entered the forest and, in a place with no sign of people, called for Ponta.

The sight of the black pig with angelic wings is amusing.

Flying through the sky, the grandeur of the forest is directly felt, which is quite nice.

The sky was beginning to darken, the mountains beyond turning red, and the forest was completely dark.

Adventurers were scattered here and there, defeating magical beasts or setting up camp with the red light of their fires.

“Beryl-kun, how far are we going?”

“To the very end!”

“Alright.”

It would take some time in the forest, but we quickly advanced to the very end by flying and landed in an uninhabited area to insert the short sword into the ground.

A strong pulse was transmitted from the ground, and a magic circle appeared from the short sword.

This is quite nostalgic…! I never imagined I could set it up in such a remote area, and being able to teleport instantly to the hunting ground is very gratifying.

As the magic circle shone on the ground, Lady Evans appeared.

“It seems it’s properly connected.”

“Grandmother!”

Lisa hugged Lady Evans.

Yes, it’s very picturesque.

After inserting the short sword into the ground and saying “Return,” I, Lisa, Lady Evans, and Ponta were teleported to the basement of Lady Evans’ mansion.
