247: Chapter 195 Enlightened Treant_2 247: Chapter 195 Enlightened Treant_2 A face marked by the vicissitudes of ti appeared on the main trunk of the blackwood tree, releasing a long sigh, the first sound it had made in hundreds, if not thousands, of years.
The final form of the blackwood tree was a reluctant twenty ters, with its top still showing the broken state.
More slanting branches sprouted from around, keeping it exceptionally lush.
“Thornspike has seen the Lord and is grateful to the Lord for unlocking my wisdom.
I am willing to serve the Lord for a hundred years in return,” said the enlightened blackwood tree, speaking slowly.
As it spoke, Gaven could sense how it differed from the other enlightened trees he had encountered previously.
Those earlier enlightened trees would neither na themselves nor set terms, and they would not actively initiate conversation with Gaven.
If Gaven didn’t command them, they would remain standing still, almost as if they were unenlightened.
Gaven hurriedly pulled up the being’s detailed data.
Enlightened Treant, Thornspike
Life Force: 188 (14D12 98)
Size: Huge
Attributes: Strength 26, Dexterity 10, Constitution 24, Intelligence 14, Perception 18, Charisma 13
Special Abilities: Shapeshift (Special Ability) — When still, the enlightened tree looks exactly like an ordinary tree.
Stone Throw (Special Ability) — Able to draw elents from the earth to form huge stones for throwing attacks.
Root Entanglent (Special Ability) — When in a rooted state, it will entangle any creature that enters an eighteen-ter radius with its roots.
Siege Monster (Special Ability) — Does double damage to objects and constructions, especially wooden ones.
Thornspike Charge (Special Ability) — When Thornspike Charge is activated, the targeted creature must engage in a strength contest or be caught in a strong lock state, disadvantaged in resisting the charge.
This ability can only be used on large creatures or bigger.
Overwhelm (Transcendent Strength Bonus) — Creatures smaller in size are at a disadvantage in strength contests, more easily knocked down and trampled.
Rooted Regeneration (Transcendent Constitution Bonus) — If rooted in the ground, it will quickly draw energy to heal its wounds.
After reading the attributes, Gaven couldn’t help but take in a sharp breath.
It turned out not to be an enlightened tree, but an enlightened treant.
Despite a difference of only one letter in their nas, the nature of the two was worlds apart.
At first, Gaven had thought that trees would beco treants after undergoing the enlightennt.
It was not until Lord Virginia enlightened him that he understood they were two different categories.
To put it simply, for most trees, the art of enlightennt was nothing but forced growth.
Even though it granted them wisdom, when compared to a natural awakening, they fell short in many aspects.
Therefore, although the druids possessed the art of enlightennt, they seldom used it.
They preferred to protect and nurture those trees with the potential to beco treants, even moving them to places rich in magical elents to facilitate their self-awakening.
The rest was up to nature.
The enlightennt was reserved only for those trees that simply couldn’t awaken on their own or were on the threshold of doing so.
Enlightened Tree
Life Force: 63 (Life Dice: 7D12 21)
Size: Huge
Attributes: Strength 19, Dexterity 6, Constitution 16, Intelligence 10, Perception 11, Charisma 8
Special Ability: Shapeshift (Special Ability) — When still, the enlightened tree looks exactly like an ordinary tree.
These were the average stats of the twelve trees Gaven had previously enlightened.
The differences weren’t significant.
Using this as a comparison, one could see how formidable Thornspike was.
This is a natural war artifact, which can play a formidable role whether in defense or in siege.
Recalling the entire process of the Enlightennt of Thornspike, as well as his ability chart, Gaven’s thoughts suddenly sprang to life.
Compared with Enlightened Trees, Enlightening Treants is definitely more interesting.
There are traces to follow in this.
Without ntioning anything else, just the special ability of Thornspike’s charge raises a very big question.
After all, Thornspike is a tree, not a knight.
Although I infused him with the combat skills of a warrior, he did not possess the ideals of a knight.
The ergence of a knight-like charging special ability was indeed a very strange thing.
After much deliberation, the only explanation I could think of was the incident with the Piercing Carrier Worm.
The Force of Destiny allowed it to be tainted with cause and effect.
Like my silver Milestone of Destiny, which unlocked passive skills like Demon Hunter, it was only natural and logical.
What kind of trees have the potential to awaken as Treants?
Gaven thought it over and concluded that it must be those trees with a long history, unique experiences, especially those that carry others’ beliefs and convictions.
Whether it is likely or not, this matter is definitely worth a try.
Besides, the power infused by the Dragon Oak Mother Tree also played an indispensable role.
Even if it’s just enlightening trees, if such energy were infused, I believe the standard could be raised by a level or two.
Next, the search for the subject of Enlightennt must be conducted around the Dragon Oak Mother Tree.
Gaven, excitedly, took Thornspike back to the Dragon Oak Dragon Nest.
Along the way, they inevitably attracted the onlookers of those of the Fae Race, who couldn’t help whispering among themselves.
“A Treant that walks on all fours like a Dragon Beast, it’s the first ti I’ve seen one!”
“Do we have such Treants in Spring Bud Forest?”
“I know all the Treants of Spring Bud Forest, and there’s definitely no him.
Where did he pop up from?
I haven’t heard that a Treant is about to awaken recently.”
“Look at his back, there’s a person, looks like that Half-Elf.”
“That Half-Elf?”
“How many Half-Elves are there in our Spring Bud Forest?
Of course, it’s that Half-Elf…”
“Are you talking about the Lord of the Gnolls and Lord Virginia…
hehe…”
“Yes, that Half-Elf…
I heard that Half-Elf is quite extraordinary, said to know Enlightennt!
Could this new Treant be one he Enlightened?”
“A person favored by Lord Virginia is of course no ordinary person…
Wait, what did you say, newly Enlightened?
How is that possible?
I believe that he can Enlighten trees, but to Enlighten a Treant, how could that be done?
Even those great Druids can’t do it.”
“Being able to do what others can’t is what makes soone no ordinary person.
What do you think is easier, unlocking the heart lock of Lord Virginia, or enlightening a Treant?”
“It seems enlightening a Treant is easier.
Before this, I always thought that Lord Virginia could never move on from a past love, to love another person.”
“It’s just a pity, another short-lived kind.
In less than a hundred years, Lord Virginia will fall into new sorrow…
sigh…
our Spring Bud Forest has so many outstanding talents…
yet she falls for soone of a different race.”
“These short-lived kinds possess a passion that we, the Everlasting Kind, lack, and this is exactly what Virginia, constant to one place, lacks.
Perhaps, it’s this that she likes, moths to flas, often at the cost of their lives, yet they still flutter upwards.”
“I heard that this Half-Elf also played a part in the creation of the Dragon Oak Dream Realm.
It was with his help that Lord Virginia was able to build it.”
“I also heard a lot of the ideas ca from the Half-Elf, which is also a great achievent.”
Love gossip seems to be a common affliction of all Sage Races, and the Fae Race of Fairy Wilderness is no exception.
From Yaling to Little Fairy, Pikespirit, while marveling at Thornspike, the conversation quickly shifted to gossip about Gaven and Lord Virginia.
They let out knowing chuckles from ti to ti.
