After letting the Flaming Thunder Anacondas sleep, Eilajah then asked Leo to give him the Sandpit Worm's eggs and Sandstone Spider's eggs. He was still not fully confident with taming a Golden Thunderstorm Python. This kind of Magical Beast is something that is almost comparable to the Basilisk, one of the legendary species of Magical Beast Snakes found in the Celestial World. Therefore, he needed to thoroughly prepare himself first, not only mentally, but he also needs to set-up a Magic Array for taming Magical Beasts to help him strengthen his Summoner's Blessing and at the same time also weaken their resistance.

Since Leo had already learned pretty much a considerable amount of knowledge about taming Magical Beasts, at least for now, he decided to pass on watching Eilajah taming the Sandpit Worms and Sandstone Spiders. It's time for him to do something more productive. Like for example, do some preparation to join the Emerald Event.

After hearing Ellen's explanation yesterday about the Emerald Event, he had already made up his mind to let the Mischievous Lion Guild join.

After thinking about the Emerald Event yesterday, he came to the conclusion that this event is basically like the elimination round. It's the time when participants prove to everyone that they are stronger than the rest and proceed to the finals, which in this case is the main event called Emerald Elven Battle Competition.

The Emerald Event was said to last for a month. So, if counting yesterday's time, then there should only be 28 days remaining before it ends. Although the remaining time is actually still considered a lot, there are always unknown variables in every event that if one wouldn't be able to prepare, which in the case of this Emerald event, would affect the qualifying top 100 for the Emerald Elven Battle Competition.

If he and his Mischievous Lion Guild can't get one of those top 100 placings, then they won't have the chance to compete for the main prizes. At that time, their stay in Emerald Tree Kingdom would definitely require a longer period of time.

After thinking for a bit, Leo decided to visit Emerald City to inquire more about the Emerald Event. In order to start preparing to join the Emerald Event, he of course needs to gather some detailed information first.

"Time to go visit Emerald City." Leo said while walking in Ethan's direction. He wants to inform the latter first before leaving so that they can easily find him whenever they needed him.

Arriving a few meters away, Leo right after noticed an anxious person in front of Ethan while reporting something that looks very serious. Then, as soon as the report was finished, Ethan then quickly turned in his direction. Their eyes coincidentally meet with each other as they then quickly understood what the other person wanted.

"Good thing that you're here," Ethan said with a solemn expression on his face.

"Go on," Leo motioned his hand to continue.

"A few of our men secretly found a few injured people in the northeast direction. I am preparing to send some reinforcements to prepare for anything dangerous, but first I need to ask for your opinion before deciding on what to do," Ethan replied.

"Tell me the report," Leo said, his face quickly becoming serious.

Ethan nodded his head and reported, "The report said that there is a total of 5 people, all of them are Elves. The injury they received was already confirmed to be from weapons, not from Magical Beasts. Currently, they are hiding inside a small cave while fending off against Long Fang Wolves that are trying to get inside the cave,"

Leo thought for a bit before saying, "What's your opinion?"

He decided to ask Ethan first what he thinks is the best thing to do before telling him about his decision.

"In my opinion, we should let them die instead," Ethan replied, his suggestion sounding really cold.

Leo felt curious by Ethan's suggestion, so he asked, "Why do you think so?"

"Because I suspect that this is related to the Emerald Event currently going on around the Emerald Tree Kingdom right now. Those people should have encountered a group stronger than them while capturing a Magical Beast before, leading towards their current situation right now," Ethan explained, and continued, "If we make a move to help them, then we might just end up offending their enemy. In my opinion, that's very troublesome,"

Leo really can't help thinking after hearing the word 'Troublesome' from Ethan's mouth, whether his opinion was really how he personally feels about it or was it perhaps after considering how he hates troublesome situations.

Since asking himself wouldn't get him anywhere, then might as well just directly ask Ethan...

"What I want to hear is, your own personal opinion,"

Ethan shoots Leo a doubtful look on his face as he replied with a bit of hesitation in his voice, "In my own personal opinion... I would like to suggest that we... save them,"

"I'm listening," Leo motioned his hand for Ethan to continue explaining.

Ethan heaves a short sigh before explaining the reason why "I believe that saving them wouldn't really hurt us that much. Even if their enemy would indeed get offended by our choice, at most they would come to us to ask for an explanation first before treating us as their enemy. At that time, we could easily decide whether it's really worth protecting them or not."

Hearing Ethan's explanation, Leo can't help clapping for a bit to express his approval.

Honestly, Ethan's personal opinion of saving them is actually also what he wanted to do. Of course, he still didn't change his hate towards troublesome situations. It's just that he has another reason that is extremely beneficial for them.

In his mind, he thought that saving those Elves might just give them some unexpected benefits. Like for example, after hearing that they have saved some Elves from death, the Elves in Emerald City would then have a good impression of them.

However, if it really turns out the way that Ethan had predicted, then if they indeed can't handle the enemy of those injured Elves, they would just simply give them up to befriend those unknown people. And if they can actually handle them, then they would choose to protect those injured Elves while consequently using them to spread their fame of being a friend to the Elves. In such a way, he can attract some Elves to join his Mischievous Lion Guild as they would think that it's not that bad to join a Guild friendly to their own race.

This is why he thought that it's extremely beneficial for them since whatever choice they decide, it could give them some benefits nonetheless.

Leo smiles mischievously and said, "Then what are we waiting for? Go and save them!"

"Okay!"

After saying that, Ethan quickly stood up from his seat as he walked towards the reinforcement who were currently preparing their equipment as fast as possible. At the side, Elaine silently followed after.

While looking at Ethan's walking figure, Leo thought, "He's wiser than I thought he would be,"

The first time he meets Ethan, he really thought that he simply likes freedom and not be restrained. At that time, Ethan had said that he doesn't want to become a King or anything similar, which is really unlikely to a member of a royal family, as he simply wanted to travel around the Celestial World and become stronger.

Still, he could easily relate to that because even he doesn't want to be treated in such a way. But, he also secretly deemed Ethan as a bit of an irresponsible person, and can't be easily trusted, that's why he set a much stricter contract with him, which surprisingly he accepted without any hesitation, making him think that maybe he has misunderstood him or something.

However, at this moment, his opinion about Ethan has finally completely changed for the better. He could now one hundred percent confirm that he had completely misunderstood him in the past. Ethan's words before were indeed implying that he wanted something much more bigger than simply leading a territory, not anything else.

Soon, Ethan along with Elaine and the reinforcement left the Smiling Lion Village to rescue those injured Elves.

It didn't take that long for them to return, specifically around an approximate estimate of ten to fifteen minutes.

Behind them were the five injured Elves. Two Elves were being carried using a wooden stretcher, the other two Elves were helping each other to walk, and the fifth Elf, which is the only one with the least amount of injuries, was walking as if nothing had happened to him while having a conversation with Ethan and Elaine.

Seeing that fifth Elf, though, Leo can't help becoming a bit surprised.

"I didn't expect to meet you this soon," Leo said as soon as Ethan and the rest arrived in front of him.

"I also didn't expect this,"

"So, what unfortunate thing had befallen to you, Elvis the Cartographer and Information Dealer?" Leo asked while a mischievous smile was hanging on his face.

It's completely out of his expectations that the Elves that they would be saving would actually include Elvis, the Elf that they had first gotten to know before entering the Emerald Forest.

During their first meeting before, Elvis had really left him a deep impression before as he has this interesting personality that makes one want to befriend him despite having this identity of an Information Dealer, that is aside from both of them being a part of the Underground World.

Well, who would even be able to expect that they would meet this soon, right?

"Hehehe,"
