After entering the cave, Lann didn't feel as if he'd 'set foot on sacred ground'.
It was just like every other cave he had entered before.
Strangely shaped rocks sculpted by geological activity, green moss growing on the stones, fungi in the dark crevices...
This was a long cave with an overall downward direction, and along the way, long pole torches were placed at intervals to provide light.
Lann followed the torches all the way down and eventually reached a culvert.
Above the culvert at an angle, there was an opening leading directly to the outside, through which sunlight streamed in, shining right onto the only statue in the culvert.
It was a nearly five-meter-tall, fully copper statue of Hermes.
Under the sunlight, it shone with a golden brilliance.
Lann had no words left to express his feelings about this use of material and carving.
In a normal historical timeline, this could be the annual revenue of several provinces of a feudal dynasty.
