Alex always knew his master's court was big, but not THIS big.
Hills and plains stretched as far as his eyes could see, and his eyes could see very far. The shape of the land was slightly trapezoid—the narrower of the two sides held the hall at the center with a few mountains for people to live and learn, and the rest of it was entirely for alchemy gardens.
Alex wanted to visit these garden, but that wasn't something he was allowed, even as Silvermist's disciple. There were rules for who could enter these gardens and for how long. Everything had to be kept track of, so no one was allowed to enter freely.
There were, however, platforms prepared around every alchemy garden where people could stand and look down at the fields to see what grew and how the people worked on them.
From time to time, people came there on trips and watched from these platforms to learn about the happenings inside an alchemy organizations such as this one.
