Dwayne soon took Leo and General Luke in front of the long table, as he then introduced, "All of these are different parts of a Flyingboat, the body, which is separated into three parts, the front, middle, and back, the sail, the wings, and the most important part of all that makes everything move, the power engine,"

"The body is the internal and external design of the Flyingboat," Dwayne grabbed three blueprints amongst all the blueprints of bodies for the Flyingboat, which coincidentally showed a full image of the body of the Emerald Elven Flyingboat, as he then explained, "Take these parts of the Emerald Elven Flyingboat as an example; its back part has three decks, while its middle part and front part only has two decks. It has tens of holes for war weapons, enough to shoot out a barrage of attacks,"

Dwayne grabbed another blueprint as he then continued, "If we remove the front and replace it with a single deck, then it would look like this,"

A stair-like Flyingboat appeared in front of Leo and General Luke. 

"Each design of the body of the Flyingboat gives different kinds of advantages, but what you should pay more attention to is that the more deck you have, the slower and heavier the Flyingboat would become, and hence becoming an easy target," Dwayne explained, then he concluded, "But in all sense, the design of the body that you will choose affects the defense of the Flyingboat,"

Dwayne grabbed all the blueprints for the sail as he then explained, "Normally, the limit of sails that a Flyingboat could have is three, but some Flyingboats, especially those long ones, would choose to have four or five sails. Each sail of the Flyingboats could increase the speed, but more speed doesn't necessarily mean it is good,"

"Speed affects the maneuverability of the Flyingboat, specifically turning direction, going up and down, and stopping, so the speed should be in balance, or if not, only enough higher that it wouldn't affect the maneuverability,"

After saying that, Dwayne then grabbed all the blueprints for the wing part of the Flyingboat as he continued explaining, "Unlike boats, Flyingboats don't rely on sails to change their directions, they use wings like what birds do. There are many different types of wings, for example, long wings, short wings, wide wings, thin wings, and many more others. And the number of wings would entirely depend on how long the body of the Flyingboat is. It also depends on the body of the Flyingboat on what type of wing you will have, but base on my opinion, it is much better to use a flexible wing, in such a way the Flyingboat could turn in whatever direction you want and without that much of a problem,"

"Just like the sailing part, the wing part of a Flyingboat also affects maneuverability, so the better the wing is, the better the maneuverability of the Flyingboat would become,"

All of a sudden, Dwayne heave a heavy sigh as he said, "Unfortunately, the flexible wing design that I have just mentioned is not something that we provide because... I was the one who designed it and Head Manager Caesar said that it is not practical to use. It cost more than what the normal wings cost as it requires a lot of Magical resources to make, which includes almost all the materials used in almost all of the types of wings for Flyingboats, and most importantly, one needs to have a high talent in maneuvering a Flyingboat in order for one to be able to use a flexible wing, which honestly speaking, is a rare talent amongst all the captains we have seen,"

"The latter problem is only natural, especially considering that no one has yet to use a flexible wing before, as for the former problem if one wants to develop a stronger Flyingboat, it would naturally cost more to develop. No one could absolutely make something stronger without putting more money in development, right?" Dwayne can't help but rant. He then quickly changed the topic though, "Anyways, last and the most important part, the power engine,"

"The power engine that we used is called Heavy Crystal Core, which could store a minimum of 1,000 Mana stones to a maximum of 10,000 Mana stones to power the Flyingboat, thus making its speed reaching up to Mach 2," Dwayne paused as he warned, "But reaching this kind of speed is so much of a waste, so we only recommend putting at most 5,000 Mana stones, which total to Mach 1 speed, then refilling it next month with another 5,000 Mana stones,"

"It is simply because Flyingboats don't normally travel in such a speed because bracing such a speed continuously would cause its parts to easily get damaged, or worst, get destroyed. Not to mention, not everyone in the Flyingboat would be able to handle such a speed as well,"

"Of course, there are many Magic Formations to fix such problems. But, just like the power engine of a Flyingboat, it also cost Mana stones to constantly make the Magic Formation active during the travel. Unlike the power engine though, Magic Formations consumes ten to twenty folds of Mana stones compared to the former. A much more powerful Magic Formations would even cost thirty to fiftyfold, so it is obviously much better to just follow our recommendation, unless of course if you are facing a very dangerous situation. If it is like that, then don't ever hesitate to destroy your Flyingboat in order to save your precious life. After all, what's the use of still having a Flyingboat if you are dead already, right?"

"Indeed," Leo said while letting out a chuckle. Though, in the next second, his face turned stiff as he immediately realized the most important part of Dwayne's words. 

Dwyane had just said that each Flyingboat would have a monthly cost of 55,000 Mana stones or more, which once he add all 25 Flyingboats that the

Mischievous Lion Guild currently have, would cost an astronomical sum of 1,375,000 Mana stones!

Plus the new addition of 10 Flyingboats that he was going to customized today, would cost him close to two million Mana stones!

"What the hell!" Leo can't help immediately exclaiming. 

Just a while ago, he really thought that maintaining all the Flyingboats that the Mischievous Lion Guild currently has wouldn't seriously cost him that much money. Just around 500,000 Mana stones would be within his budget, or at most, 1,000,000 Mana stones. 

It was seriously out of his expectations that it would actually be twice than what he had assumed. 

A single Mana stone would already cost around a hundred gold coins, which means to say, all the Flyingboats that the Mischievous Lion Guild have would cost monthly spending of 192,500,000 gold coins! 

One hundred ninety-two million and five hundred thousand gold coins! 

Just where exactly would he get such an amount of money?!

Even all the money that the Mischievous Lion Guild currently have couldn't afford half of that! 

Although he has actually been using Chaos Orbs instead of Mana stones to fuel all the Flyingboats that the Mischievous Lion Guild have ever since Ethan tried it once back then at the Sun Desert, which is 1 Chaos Orb equivalent to 1,000 Mana stones. Nevertheless, it would still cost him an astronomical amount of Chaos Orbs every month, specifically close to 2,000 Chaos Orbs every month. 

With his current stock of Chaos Orbs, it would only be able to last for a year or so. 

Both General Luke and Dwayne quickly turned to look at Leo after hearing his sudden exclamation. 

"Is there some kind of problem, Guild Leader Loki?" Dwayne asked curiously. 

"Nothing," Leo quickly waved his hand as he excused himself for a few moments to think about something outside. 

Arriving outside, Leo then began contemplating on how he should fix this problem. 

He really never imagined that his casual picking of Flyingboats before would lead him to this huge problem. It was simply because he had never really learned that much about Flyingboats until today. In fact, if Dwayne didn't inform him this time about the cost of maintaining Flyingboats, he would definitely only learned about it at the end of the Emerald Event. 

Although it wouldn't really mean that it is too late for him to fix the problem at that time, especially considering the fact that he has more than a year's worth of time before all of his Chaos Orbs would run out, but knowing it a lot earlier is still much better for him. 

Thinking deeply, he only has two choices to solve this problem;

First, to burn the pocket of the Mischievous Lion Guild. 

Of course, burning the pocket of the Mischievous Lion Guild would only last temporarily. After all, as the Mischievous Lion continues to develop and become more powerful, it would likewise also earn more income. 

The only problem is, if he really chooses to do this, a lot of their plans would need to be put on hold for the moment until the Mischievous Lion Guild can earn enough funding for their other plans. In such a case though, the development of the Mischievous Lion Guild would slow down by a lot.

And second, to start producing more Chaos Orbs. 

Just like what he has long been doing by using Chaos Orbs to power the Flyingboats, he would just simply continue doing that. Of course, just like the first solution, it would only be temporary until the Mischievous Lion Guild could earn enough money to spend on maintaining all of their Flyingboats. 

But just like the first solution, there is also a problem with doing this; Chaos Orbs has plenty of uses. 

Like for example, Ethan and the others have now been using Chaos Orbs in their cultivation as it gives more benefits compared to the Magical resources that they usually used in their cultivation before.

Aside from that, he also wants to create cultivation rooms where he would use Chaos Orbs to allow the members of the Mischievous Lion Guild to also benefit the same way as Ethan and the others without risking getting his secret discovered. 

And so on and so forth. 

There is seriously a lot of uses for Chaos Orbs for the Mischievous Lion, so to guarantee that nothing gets affected, he would have to start producing Chaos Orbs again. 

However, producing Chaos Orbs is extremely difficult... No, to be more precise, extremely troublesome! 

He not only faced the risk of getting his secret discovered, but the traces left by producing Chaos Orbs are also very obvious for everyone who knew about the Chaos Mana to see.

As long as a barren area with no traces of Mana appeared, everyone would immediately assume that it is caused by Chaos Mana. And for other people who still don't know about the existence of Chaos Orbs, which in this case is almost everyone in the Celestial World, they would immediately assume that it is dangerous. Hence, this would make people investigate about them to prevent any danger from happening, which would eventually lead to their discovery. 

But of course, unless... 

"Why would I only choose to produce Chaos Orbs when there is a wide variety of choices for me to choose?" Leo finally thought of a solution, which made him felt a bit stupid. 

Now, there is no need to burn the pocket of the Mischievous Lion Guild.

If producing Chaos Orbs is extremely troublesome, then why not choose another Element Orb to produce, right?
