In the garden, as I followed after Krob, I noticed that Bulbine wasps were buzzing near the ceiling, and other than that, it was peaceful.

I wondered if I will get to see Glatellia again, but Krob was taking me in a different direction, away from that majestic tree with a black trunk, so I assumed that will not happen.

To my surprise, Krob took his task of teaching me seriously. He was meticulously explaining about every plant on the list Aldus gave me. Krob told me how to take care of each plant, how to harvest and preserve parts that we needed, and also any specifics, like if it's edible and the effects it has if touched or ingested.
