This cave dug into the mountain is quite unusual compared to ordinary caves.
The further you go in, the hotter it gets, with no hint of the coolness one might expect.
By the time you are fully inside, the temperature can be described as scorching. It's both hot and humid.
Moss-covered rocks and the dark, dreary cave walls are adorned with plump droplets of water.
Plants are scattered all around, sprawling out from cupboards, flower pots, and water troughs, scrambling for territory, leading to leaves and stamens stained with soil.
At first glance, Lann recognized many rare herbs, even those declared extinct in Airetusa's library.
An elderly woman, dressed similarly to Nanny Aiora but more corpulent, was rolling up her sleeves and working with scissors and a bone stick amidst the lush plants.
The cave's lighting was surprisingly good. When Lann looked up, he realized that several large holes had been dug above, sealed with crystal.
