Chapter 113: Looking for a way to disguise the Earth Elemental (1/2)

”Oh, then what kind of question, then?” Evangelion immediately asked after hearing Leo's reply with a slight proudness of himself on his face. Him being a 5 Star Mage and having a junior asking him a question was indeed worthy of being proud of, at least in his case with his character of being like everyone's model person.

”You already knew about my trump card, right?” Leo asked as he wanted to confirm first. He doesn't want Evangelion to suddenly treat him as someone evil like Madam Silva the moment after he summoned the Elemental, nor does he want to reveal his trump card casually to someone who doesn't know about it.

”Don't worry, Madam Silva already told me...” Evangelion said as he gulped down a mouthful of saliva due to excitement.

What really happened was, after Evangelion was informed by Madam Silva that Leo can actually summon Elementals, he immediately felt excited about seeing it for himself.

Well, who on Celestial World doesn't even want to see a powerful Magical Entity, such as the Elementals, up close for themselves, right?

So, Evangelion was long hoping for such a day like this to come.

Leo breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Evangelion's reply before he finally summoned his Earth Elemental.

Out of thin air, a body that somewhat looked like those of Humans but entirely made out rocks slowly formed in front of Evangelion, making him even more excited.

”Wow!” Evangelion can't help but gasp in amusement. Looking at the Earth Elemental closely was indeed so marvelous, just like what Madam Silva had expressed to him before.

”Ehem!” Evangelion quickly fixed himself as he continued, ”What question-related to this do you want to ask me about? I'll inform you first, I'm not a professional when it comes to Elementals. My knowledge is pretty much base on books and other people's stories. So, you're free to ignore my words.”

”That's okay, I'm not asking something hard anyways. Do you perhaps know of any way to disguise my Earth Elemental?” Leo finally said his real intention.

”Oh...” Evangelion said while observing the Earth Elemental from left to right, and its every edge and inches. He continued, ”I might only know a bit about Magical Beast and Magical Entity, such as the Elemental. But, I can suggest something like this easily for you, wait here!”

Evangelion quickly went to some shelves in the deep part of the study room to look for that specific book that will solve Leo's problem.

After a while, Evangelion finally came back while holding an old book as he said, ”This book is something that discusses a lot about Magical Entities. Naturally, it includes information about the Elementals, but that isn't the most important thing here...”

Evangelion immediately started flipping through the book as soon as he put it on the study table, ”This is the most important!” He pointed towards a specific picture.

”Golems!!” Leo quickly understood what Evangelion really wanted to say.

Golems were Magical Entities. They were made out entirely of rocks like those of the Earth Elementals, so they can indeed become a really good disguise. Moreover, unlike Earth Elementals, Golems weren't unique and a lot of Mages, specifically those who can't afford to invest in Magical Knights, use them as their protectors.

Indeed, it was called protectors. Like those Mages that Leo had met beforehand, Mages were really too weak. They can easily be killed despite being powerful and having a unique ability to be able to use Magic spell. He had even killed tens of them already easily despite just being a beginner Mage.

It wasn't because the Mages were weak, really, but because of the lack of powerful protection. When casting, Mages defense becomes vulnerable, hence they can easily be killed, such as shooting a bow or swiftly arriving in front of them to launch a direct attack.

So, Mages needed to have protectors in order to compensate for this obvious weakness, such as Magical Knights or Golems.

Unlike those rich Mages though, that was born from Noble Households, or those Mages with powerful capability, hence easily earning money. Mages that were born poor and incapable of earning money easily tend to compensate for their weakness by relying on Golems.
