Rey walked towards a wooden chest immortal king had pointed to. It was fairly large and had a heavy lid. Rey opened it revealing many colors of shimring fabric.
"Those are made arcane silk worm thread. I received them many years ago. The silk repels magic of all kinds and is as tough as steel. I used to wear robes made of such fabric. However, it beca useless to as I now have the ability to create cloaks made to boost my abilities greatly. I'm glad to get rid of so, having useless things is quite a pain." Immortal king was rembering before fusing with all the souls. Every grand priest of higher was given robes of this silk so they could perform their acts in battle safely.
Rey pulled a large roll of red and white striped arcane silk worn silk. "I would like to choose this one if that's acceptable." Rey held up the silk.
"Hmm yes it will match" immortal king nodded and Rey brought the fabric to Walker to store away. Su was the next to move forward.
"Ahh finically the defender steps forward, I'd believed you to be mute." Immortal king laughed heartily at its joke.
"Great sir I've thought about this and I know it is very selfish, but if you have any knowledge on unique spells to heal a person's weak constitution could you please give them to our leader? Not only can we use it to help others but it would an curing my mother's illness." Su wanted to think of sothing else sothing better but she couldn't put aside a chance that this being which had lived for hundreds of years had an answer.
"Hmm challenging aren't you...why not bring that mother here and I'll make her undying?" Immortal king mocked her trying to put her on edge or potentially burst at anger as so guardians often do.
"Thank you for that kind offer however that is not what she or I would desire." Su gracefully declined not even phased by its words.
Immortal king grumbled as its mind gas were unsuccessful. It now didn't feel amused and grabbed a scroll from the darkness tossing it to Walker. "That has 912's master healing spell sealed. It's one use. Heal her mother or whatever I care not. Now tell your request so I can send you out." Walker caught the scroll and put it away. The worry after hearing immortal king's words increased. Su gave Walker an apologetic look knowing she had aggravated it.
Walker prepared himself, he'd been trying to think of a specific thing but instead decided to take a gamble. "Sir I hope to ask for one thing only you can give. I see the great power and belief you hold and know asking for sothing specific to be unwise. So I beseech you to give sothing you see fit in your eyes." This gamble was shocking. Everyone else was out in a state of even higher stress than before. Why had walker made this gamble!?
Silence reigned in the room, immortal kings tapping had stopped instantly upon Walker's words. He could feel immortal kings' look penetrating him. "Yes yes, an interesting suggestion. You are not lured by the shiny things here are you not? Well I've watched you through the eyes of other undead and I can not decided your system. It's very unique I'm sure." Small pools of darkness appeared around immortal king as it stuck its hands in and out seemly searching.
"Hmm no no....maybe...ah too good....oh the mories...." immortal king mumbled to itself item after item until a small palm sized bag was pulled out. This drawstring bag was a light blue with golden cords. "You told to choose child and choose I have. Before the war our city was vibrant as blessed by the immortal god itself. However those vile vampires broke buildings, slaughtered people, and even brought true death to every plant within our city. You see the weeds and ruin outside this room." Notes of anger were apparent in its voice. Immortal king was viewing the great sights of the city before the attacks and soul fusion. They may not have been the most benevolent people however their city was a stunning sight showcasing life in many forms. "Take this, it holds many extinct plant seeds. I may lack taste but When I can leave this spire I desire to consu vile blood fruit once again. To see the weeping willows branches sway. To feel the prick of oozing vines!" The energy in the room was ever expanding as immortal king thought of more and more it had lost and wished to reclaim.
Walker hesitated hearing so of the nas it said and worried it would bring misfortune to the world. However he had asked and would now need to receive. He could only rely on his skill later to choose wisely along with work with Gils mother to gain skills to grow them properly.
He reached out his hand to receive the pouch "child we expect you to plant these so that we can view them again. This is not for you but a gift for us."

Walker's jaw dropped upon seeing this happen. They just received a quest from a gift from soone seen as evil? The things the people did in the ancient city were ghastly and cruel however they were still part of how the world worked. Without evil there was no good. This may not be a bad thing to persue however, what did the system an by a visit? Would immortal king be escaping to see the plants or would sothing else be visiting? Before walker could continue in his train of thought he was interrupted.
