Contracted with Man-Eating Tree Dragon Elf Carly for quite some time now, the plantation for man-eating trees had been established in Flame City, but the uses of the man-eating tree remained elusive.
These trees neither produced food nor were they attractive; at most, their wood quality was decent, but their trunks were too thin.
Thus, Carly's identity as a dragon elf had truly seemed rather superfluous before—seemingly magical, something only a dragon-rearing family could cultivate. However, its value seemed to be limited to providing company for chatter with Liszt—despite being of the man-eating tree species, it could only snatch up and consume some commoners.
It was unreliable against knights or ancient mages, and moreover, the man-eating trees could only move under Carly's control.
Although it was unspoken, Carly could feel its awkward status and sense the slight regret in Liszt's heart toward it.
