Inside the Royal Palace

In the Elf Garden, the moment Landen thought of how the entire garden and palace had been built several dozen meters above the ground, he sighed at the strength of his ancestors. "This is a Hanging Garden in the literal sense."

Landen looked at the many plants around him and asked the Life Mages beside him, "So many plants here are about to enter the intermediate tier. Should we make a special batch of cultivation tanks for them?"
