Ah, but they couldn't possibly think of such things when they finally saw what these children had been up to!
The aquaponics complex in the dungeon-linked space had been explained to them before, and they had heard plenty about the concepts and Luca's grand plans. But this was their first time seeing the facility for themselves.
And it did not disappoint.
Sure, they couldn't feel energy from the land, but considering how they nearly suffocated from the "stillness" outside earlier, this was already a giant leap forward!
Luca thought so too. Having traveled between places where the spiritual energy situation was vastly different, he believed that while the gap outside was terrifying, at least here was something that could bridge it.
And while it still took a few days to grow crops inside the aquaponics complex, it was something they could legitimately do outside of the space. Something the Empire could one day know about.
