Herb Cultivation Experiment

Herb Cultivation Experiment is a special project that is being developed by Nfirea Bareare in the Great Forest of Tob.
== Objective ==
It was known that the efficacy of whatever is grown in a man-made medicinal herb field would drop leading to weak effects. Hence why there was no effort made to create medicinal herb fields in E-Rantel and other places because of the soil. It was proposed that the reason for the efficacy drop was due to insufficient nutrients. 
Though it seems that is the very reason why Nfirea has been conducting experiments by making a medicinal herb field in the middle of the Great Forest of Tob.
== Procedures ==
Several test areas have been set up in the forest to study their growth and herb effects. There was not just a herb field in the forest, but a lot of logs with mushrooms growing on them, as well as ones with moss growing on them.
== Results ==
Ainz Ooal Gown lacking the required skill to use medicinal herbs and alchemical reagents to make medicine in YGGDRASIL, believed that the alternative was found in using the technology of the New World and the medicinal herbs unique to it.
Hence why he dispatched Aura Bella Fiora to monitor the pharmacist's progress. However to get near Carne Village secretly has proven to be difficult as the goblins under Enri Emmot's control were standing guard in a wide area around the village. In particular, there seemed to be a being called the Goblin Trapper who not only laid out damage-type traps but the alarm-type traps
which were more difficult to discover.
Even so, Ainz wished to do a similar cultivation experiment. If the issue was the lack of nutrients, then he believed that Nazarick could just use items and Mare Bello Fiore's ability to improve the soil. But
even Mare had some doubts to the plan. He had been secretly using his magic at night on the E-Rantel Adventurer's Guild medicinal herb garden, but did not feel he was making much progress.
When members of Nazarick used the same herbs from the garden to make YGGDRASIL potions, a troubling result appeared—there were signs that the effect was slightly inferior.Overlord Volume 16 Chapter 4: A Life in the Village
== Trivia ==
* A notion though was brought up on whether the medicinal herbs from YGGDRASIL could be grown in the soil of the New World. To a druid like Mare Bello Fiore he believed that the herbs probably would not grow.
*In Mass for the Dead, E-Rantel did create a large scale herb cultivation field to accommodate the need for healing potions for the Tripartite Alliance. Later the run-off water from the field resulted in the Sanitary Slimes in the sewers to undergo rapid mutations.Mass for the Dead Chapter 05: Platinum AdventurerMass for the Dead Chapter 09: Evil Darkness
