Chapter 345: I will not let you down!
"Dragonblood Crystal counts as a Level 3 Special Resource," Auremax said without hesitation.
Ethan nodded, then followed up with another question. "Alright, then let me ask you this—if you had to pick just one Level 4 Special Resource that would benefit Emerald Castle the most right now, which one would you choose?"
Auremax paused, caught off guard. His brow furrowed slightly as he replied, "My Lord, that’s... something I’d really need to think about. As far as I know, there aren’t many Level 4 Special Resources out there, but each one has its own strengths. If I had to pick just one... I’d need some time to give you a proper answer."
"No rush. Take your time and let me know when you’ve decided." Ethan gave a small nod, then added, "Alright, that’s it for now. Auremax, go find Oakenmaw for me. I need to speak with him."
"Yes, my Lord." Auremax gave a respectful nod and turned to leave.
BOOM!
A deep, thunderous rumble echoed through the ground not long after. A towering Treant—massive beyond belief—slowly made his way into Ethan’s presence. With a deep, resonant voice, he bowed respectfully and said, "Greetings, my honored Lord. Auremax said you were looking for me?"
"Yeah..." Ethan nodded, getting straight to the point. Without wasting time, he pulled out two items: Zylarion’s Arcstone and a B-grade fragment of Order Dragon Asha’s power. He handed them both to the Ancient War Tree, Oakenmaw.
"Oakenmaw, I’m not sure if you recognize these. This one’s Zylarion’s Arcstone—it’ll directly accelerate your evolution, helping you reach Hero Unit status faster.
"And this one... is a B-grade fragment of Order Dragon Asha’s power. I’m giving you both. With these two artifacts, I think you’ve got everything you need to evolve into a Hero Unit, right?"
"This... this is really for me?!" Oakenmaw froze, stunned.
