Chapter 448: Meeting the Cartographer and Information Dealer Elvis again (1/2)

Proofreader: M_W Miss Fierce

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.
