The elders' face contorted in annoyance after Walker attempted to refuse the rainbow elental crystal. "Do you know how rare it is for soone to be able to craft with this elental crystal? Do you know how rare it is for an item or gear to survive without falling avert or breaking down after it is made using this as a material? You will take it and thank ."
Walker realized just how much the elder wanted to see a material like this beco sothing. It was the look in the elders' eyes that gave him away. It wasn't one of a person who was truly angry. The fire in the elders' eyes was full of curiosity that could only be satiated by the crafting of rare materials.
"Then I will accept it. I am sure that it will be a key ingredient in the staff I will have forged." Walker smiled and stored the crystal away. He had only dread of obtaining a rainbow elental mana crystal. It was just too rare yet he had been given one so easily. Yet, hearing that it was extrely hard to craft and extrely hard to keep the gear made with it intact, he knew it was not a simple matter.
"Anything else you see here that you want to use." The elder let Walker sate his curiosity by using his all around appraisal skill to choose so more materials. Since the mysterious gem had been put away the spirits joined them.
Walker was interested to see all the spirits were attracted to a tree branch. This wouldn't be strange but the branch still had green leaves on it and looked to be just cut.
'Immortal birch branch
This branch cos from a tree known to never die. It grows to a certain size then never absorbs nutrients, grows, or changed unless sothing changes it forcefully. Immortal birch trees are exceptionally rare since dryads are the only creatures on the planet that can cause them to multiply. All immortal birch trees resist all elentals without any affinity. They can not be affected by elental mana at all unless a dryad uses a unique skill on it.'
"Taken a liking to the immortal birch branch? I see. We brought it here to try and grow it from this branch like the dryads. Unfortunately, we failed. It has just been here for about seventy years. If it was up to we would have used it by now. But nothing ever stood out as being worthy. But your staff may be worthy."
Walker was hiding his excitent over this material. If he managed to get this branch then he would be able to have a staff that wouldn't be at risk for decaying, burning, breezing and shattering, being cut by the wind, and many more. He knew that physical attacks could do damage, but he had a party that could protect him and tals could be added to the staff.
"I would very much like to use that for my staff. Is there a price?" The way the elder had spoken made Walker realize that this material was definitely not free in the least. There would be a price to pay.
The elder smirked and looked at the spirits along with rembering that Gil was also on a quest revolving around the modification of a spirit forged bow, "I want to be the one spirit forging more. I want to see what can be made. I want to at the very least be present when the amazing experience takes place. I want to learn more about the truth of elental spirits that my entire people have been blind to." The elder had finally found knowledge that could fill the emptiness in him. He thought that he could spend the remainder of his life learning all of this and still only scratch the surface.
"Then you can. In the Genesis city that is being built, the alliance will have more than just forges. There will be a new alchemy guild, sentient monster races trying to earn their full racehood. There will even be trade from every single kingdom and more. Just push your kings to join and you will be the dwarf at the front of the spirit forging movent."
Walker knew that playing to the elders' desire would be the best key here. If the elder put in a word the kings would have no qualms about joining and even more so, would push to join. If they went to the summit to sign contracts instead of just discuss things then everything would progress more smoothly.
"There will be a place for the dwarves? One that allows us to craft and trade? One for golems?" The elder tested this a little to wash away any lingering doubt.
"Yes, there will. I wouldn't mind seeing the crafting and forging guild beco a full force in the city along with the alchemy guild. My kingdom only has a forge building and there is no guild for it like here. The golems would make an excellent work force and assistance t guarding the borders against demons until we can sort out the demon leaders corruption." Walker didn't pull any punches and laid it out clearly.
"Then you may have that immortal birch branch. But please rember what my agreeing ans to the alliance and you. I will make sure everything you have said happens as long as we are equal to each other." The elder handed the branch to him.
Walker looked at the branch which could only be described as falling off a tree that day, However, he knew it had been cut long long ago. "In the Genesis city, everyone is equal. Even the goblins are equal. Even the grey haired spiders are equal. If monsters find their intellect and beco sentient of their actions they will be assisted to gain their racehood and no longer be monsters."
The last words from Walker made the elders' heart stir. It had been years since he felt the cold from the underground fade away. It was like a forge within him had been lit after sitting idle for many years.
