Chapter 795: Treants

"That thing? Sure. If I give it to you can you deal with it? I have to leave and get back to other things. I really don't want to waste the time." Walker was about to respond about how rude Adam was but remembered that dwarves tended to be blunt. It also helped that Walker could see that Adam was solely focused on the albino glowing mole egg. The soft eyes that Adam was watching it with spoke volumes of how he would care for it even though his rough actions seemed to betray the looks. 

Adam reached in to another bag set to the side and retrieved what looked like a rounded piece of wood. The brown and grey bark that covered it was the egg shell which encased the entire thing. Without any hesitation, Walker took it in his hands and started to notice the moss and small mushrooms on it. This was the same as a tree but it felt and looked younger. The feeling of natural mana was slight within it but there nonetheless. 

'Treant guardian egg

This is the seed of a treant guardian. It is a rare species of treant often growing larger and much more resistant to physical and magical attacks. Treants are a peaceful race and prefer to protect rather than attack. However, that does not mean it can not entangle and trap those with its vines and razor like leaves. This treant guardian does not have a contract and is close to hatching. Upon hatching it needs to burry itself in the ground for exactly one month before it is able to walk on its root feet and travel. It is extremely susceptible to ice and flame attacks.'

"A treant guardian? That's amazing. I didn't know treants had a sub species called a treant guardian." It was new information that Walker was careful to memorize for when he handed it to Elise who would be guiding the future demon in the taming world. 

"Guardians aren't as rare as a treant sage. Those are tough ores to break for sure. Not that they ever leave the depths of a forest. They can create a forest themselves with their nature magic. Crazy things. At least be thankful that I didn't bring a demon treant. Those things are a complete opposite of a normal treant. They create dark forests that nothing can live in. Demon lands are tough. I don't go there anymore." 

It was even more of a shock to Walker. A demon treant was something violent? Walker was having a harder time imagining going to the demon lands the more he heard about them. It all made so much sense why there was such a hard life for the demon people. If the normally calm and peaceful monsters had violent and brutal species there it would make life incredibly hard. But that did not excuse the actions of those who ruled the demons and the corruption that was being spread. 

"Yes, I think a demon treant would have been too much for this place. Thank you for your help. I will tell Elise that she can hand over this treant guardian egg soon." Walker bid his farewell and headed for the door. 

"Not a bad kid, he could tell what my ores were and that egg. Hope he does well with that rock. I carried it for fifteen useless years." The mumbling was missed by Walker and only lasted a second before Adam focused back on to the egg that he was going to raise to be a powerful companion. 

" Soooo? How was it?" Elise was quick to spot Walker as he left the cathedral. It was still quiet and calm outside so there were not many people around. Just the two of them now. 

"He was a little rough, but I think he is the best one to take care of it. Plus he gave me some pretty good ores I can use for a quest." It was all a fair deal in Walkers' eyes. Even if he couldn't use the ore he would be happy with the decision. 

"You're lucky he didn't keep you and try to convince you about the wonders of the underground and how the center of the world has hidden treasure and the true meaning of earth. He is a little crazy I think. He always tries to get me in to caves when I see him and that's just never happening. How could I go somewhere where Stella can't fly? It's just ridiculous and insane." It was clear that Elise and Adam had gotten in to a small disagreement once upon a time but also that she had respect for him. 

"Are you finished up here? I was thinking of grabbing some eggs and cheese from the market to make breakfast for everyone. I know they should be waking up for a late, well, very late breakfast soon." Walker changed the subject so that he could avoid the underground and flying talk that he knew could go on for hours. It was hard to avoid the topic since Elise enjoyed flying more than anything. 

"Oh, sure. I finished up a whole ago while you were talking. I just didn't have anything else to do so I waited. I actually should get back to traveling but I have a week until I need to get back so I can wait a day or two. I think I will take my new tamer friend with me though. She would be one of the few that can tame treants in the guild."

After seeing how happy Elise was, Walker gave her the treant guardian egg and explained all the details he had gotten from his appraisal and what Adam had told him. The two headed to the market and were back at the mansion in no time. The smell of bacon, eggs, and melting cheese woke anyone that had yet to stir.
