"Oh, I guess they missed such a big opportunity, then," Leo said with a smile. He wasn't only hiring a Professional Magical Beast Tamer, but on top of that one of the top ten in the Emerald Tree Kingdom as well. So, he's surely going to benefit a lot out from it.

Eilajah raised his head to look straight at Mister Loki's eyes before asking, "You... you're not joking, right?"

"What would I get from joking?" Leo asked while shaking his head.

"You're also not planning on taking revenge, right?" Eilajah doubtfully asked as he right after added, "After all, you and your group nearly gotten into an accident because of my clumsiness."

Hearing Eilajah's words, Leo chuckled before replying, "Well, working for me without any pay can also be considered as my revenge to you, right?"

"Indeed," Eilajah nodded his head as he realized that what Leo had said to him was indeed very reasonable.

"But of course, I will not seriously give you such unfair treatment. After all, although you have indeed caused me to lose ten precious Golems and had also nearly pulled my group into an accident, it still can't deny the fact that you are a Professional Magical Beast Tamer, thus it's just right for me to still give you payment for your service." Leo said in assurance.

Eilajah can't help heaving a sigh of relief after knowing that he would still be able to earn some monetary gains while working for Leo. He's currently struggling financially right now after getting into plenty of similar accidents, so Leo's payment for his service would really be a huge help for him.

"Anyways, do I still need to hire more Magical Beast Tamer, or are you confident doing it all by yourself?" Leo asked.

"What kind of Magical Beast's eggs exactly do you have?" Eilajah asked in response. He might be one of the top ten Professional Magical Beast Tamer in the Emerald Tree Kingdom, but it doesn't mean that he can handle everything because of that. There's still exist a lot of things that he can't handle alone.

"I have four types of Magical Beast's eggs with me, namely Golden Thunderstorm Python's eggs, Yellow Skinned Anaconda's eggs, Sandpit Worm's eggs, and Sandstone Spider's eggs." Leo replied.

"Oh," Eilajah thought for a bit before saying, "Aside from the Golden Thunderstorm Python's eggs, which is a powerful species of Magical Beast, I'm pretty confident that I can handle the rest. Therefore, when shall we begin?"

"The sooner the better," Leo replied with a mischievous smile on his face.

After that conversation, Leo and Eilajah quickly signed a contract to finalize everything.

In the contract, it states that Eilajah would be working for Leo as the Magical Beast Tamer of their Mischievous Lion Guild until the date arrives, when they would finally decide to leave the Emerald Tree Kingdom.

Eilajah would be keeping everything he knew to himself, not leaking anything to anyone. It also mentioned that Leo would be paying Eilajah 10 silver coins for each Magical Beast's eggs that he could hatch and tame, with the exception of the Golden Thunderstorm Python's eggs, as he would be earning 1 gold coin for each.

Once that was all signed and done, Eilajah followed after Leo and his group as they went shopping and at the same time touring around the Emerald City to familiarize themselves with the territory.

Because Eilajah lives in the Emerald Tree Kingdom almost his entire life, he volunteered to tour Leo and his group around the Emerald City.

They visited a lot of tourist spots around the Emerald City, which includes the famous Emerald Tree, which is where the Emerald Tree Kingdom got its territory's name from.

The Emerald Tree was one of the prizes for the Emerald Event. It was said that if one cultivates beside the Emerald Tree, it would give them a lot of benefits, specifically, it could increase the Mana Capacity of a person, heal their internal injuries, increase their affinity with the Nature Element, and a small possibility to awaken the talent of taming Magical Beasts.

Aside from that, they also visited plenty of stores to buy clothes, equipment, weapons, Magic related books, and other necessary stuff and supplies.

And most importantly, which is something that all of them had agreed that they shouldn't miss as it wouldn't complete their shopping and touring around the Emerald City, they dine in the restaurants that can serve the special dishes of the Emerald Tree Kingdom.

Finally, before the night could arrive, Leo leads everyone to look for Ethan and the others back to the airport where they have landed and parked the three Green Eagle Flyingboats. He wants to check the progress of their plan and to also finally rest for the day.

There only exist two plans for the first day of their arrival in the Emerald Tree Kingdom.

First, which is the most important part of their plan right now, is the land that they would be buying in the territory of the Emerald City.

The land that they bought would be their territory, or otherwise base of operation, for the time being while staying in the Emerald Tree Kingdom.

Without any territory, then settling down in the Emerald Tree Kingdom, even if it's just temporary, with such a large group of people would be extremely difficult. After all, having no land and base doesn't only concern their settlement, but it could likewise affect negatively their financial situation and security as well.

It could negatively affect them financially because if they don't have any place to stay they could only rent rooms from hotels or rent unused properties, which with such a large group of people, would really cost them a lot of money. Also, those properties wouldn't necessarily give them the fullest extent of security and safety as well, as there exist a lot of things that their possible enemies could exploit, especially if those enemies are from the Emerald Tree Kingdom. Like for example, forcefully kicking them out of the property for some unreasonable excuse using connections and such, or buying the blueprints of that said property from the black market so as to plan something against them.

He wants to avoid all of that from happening, therefore the best way is to buy an empty plot of land outside or inside the Emerald City and personally construct their settlement.

And second, temporarily registering themselves in the Guild Association of the Emerald Tree Kingdom, as it would be through this where they could get the most fame out from, hence attracting people to join them.

Being a registered Guild in the Emerald Tree Kingdom could also give them plenty of Guild benefits as well while temporarily living in the Emerald Tree Kingdom, which would really be a huge help for them, especially as a new Guild.

Soon, Leo and the other finally arrived at the airport where they meet Edward and Sele who then lead them outside the Emerald City towards the north.

Apparently, the territory that Ethan was able to buy was located outside of the Emerald City and a few kilometers to the north.

It isn't really the best location for a base of operation, as it is already inside the territory of the Emerald Forest, which means a lot of Magical Beasts would be attacking them, but at the same time, it is also not that bad as well since they can also use the Emerald Forest as a cover for their base of operation and to their advantage, that is, if they knew how to. But with so many people in their group, surely there are a few people that know a thing or two about such a thing. And if there is really none, then they would just slowly learn and adapt.

After nearly an hour of journey, Leo and the others, following the lead of Edward and Sele, finally arrived at the said location.

At this moment, there is already a rough defense, specifically a wall made entirely out of wood, around their entire territory that has a size of 500 square meters.

Tens of watchtowers had been built nearby the wall to watch over the surrounding area, which would send early warning whenever Magical Beast's attacks their territory. To further add more security to the territory, tens of slaves were already patrolling on the top of the wall.

Looking inside the territory, the majority of the trees around the place were also already chopped to make enough space for their houses and other needed infrastructure. Those woods were also used as materials for construction.

A rough stone road was already made with a few houses made out of wood mixed with a bit of stone, brick on both sides.

Before finally entering the territory, Leo and the others couldn't help looking at the sign nearby the entrance.

"Smiling Lion Village," Leo silently murmured to himself. He smiled and added, "What a great name."

"I am sure that this was suggested by Lex and Virgil!" Cassandra said, seemingly stating the obvious.

"Who else could it be? Leo is with us, leaving only two people with addiction to adding the word 'Lion' in almost everything, hahaha," Elizabeth said, chuckling.

"What's wrong with that word, ha?" Leo can't help asking.

"It's actually a good name," Angel unexpectedly replied.

Veronica quickly pulled Angel to the side as she right after asked, "Don't tell me you have been infected by them as well?"

"Ignore them," Ash rolled her eyes, "Whatever the name of the territory would be, as long as it can provide as settlement, then its good!"

"Tch, another person with no knowledge about the importance of the name of a territory," Cassandra, Elizabeth, and Veronica sneered at the same time.

Charlotte walked beside Leo before asking, "By the way, Leo, which plan amongst all of those plans we have discussed before would we be doing tomorrow?"

Edward moved to the other side before saying, "In my opinion, tomorrow we should split the group in two. The first group would continue developing the Smiling Lion Village, while the second group would train our members so as to prepare to join that so-called Emerald Event."

"I agree with Edward," Sebastian expressed his agreement.

"I agree as well," Dan nodded his head.

"....."

"Everyone should gather together first before we start discussing about the plan for tomorrow," Leo interrupted as he turned his head to look at the center of the Smiling Lion Village.. Over there, he saw Ethan, Elaine, Chief Lago, Lex, and Virgil already gathered together while discussing about how they should construct the layout of the Smiling Lion Village.
