”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.
