”Were you also attacked by a bunch of Goblin teams?” Leo immediately asked the moment Dan and the others arrived in front.
”Yeah... Fortunately, old man Torre brought along his Eagle Lion team to meet up with us, allowing both of our teams to cooperate together to defeat those Goblin teams,” Dan replied.
”Just like what I'd expected, everyone was attacked as well,” Old man Torre said while nodding his head repeatedly.
”No,” Leo shook his head, he then explained, ”Both my team and Chief Lago's team wasn't attacked, only Ethan's team and both your team experienced a similar situation. But, let me guess, prior to your team being attacked, a single Goblin team appeared from the beginning?”
”Yes,” Sebastian, Dan, and old man Torre nodded their heads in unison. It's indeed as what Leo had said. Before being attacked by a bunch of Goblin teams, a single Goblin team appeared at the beginning that seemed to be following behind them. Afterwards, they suddenly charged at them with an intent to kill along with some other Goblin teams that were surprisingly hiding nearby their location.
”I believe that this is the Hunter Goblin Guild's doing,” Sebastian said confidently.
”Unfortunately, it seems unlikely the case right now... We have noticed that they were all wearing different Guild tokens, implying that they don't belong to the Hunter Goblin Guild,” Leo said before repeating the explanation he had said to Ethan and Chief Lago.
”Oh, so how should we handle this situation, then? If this situation continues, catching Magical Beasts would become more difficult for us. It might even cause us to not get into one of the top 100 spots for the Emerald Event,” Dan expressed his worry.
”You don't have to worry about the Emerald Event, I already have a sure guarantee solution for that. Our only problem now is how to handle these sudden Goblin attacks,” Leo said with assurance. As long as they could catch a Galaxy-level Magical Beast, their qualification for the Emerald Elven Battle Competition is guaranteed.
One of the reasons that he won't be telling that plan to them yet is because he doesn't want them to suddenly start slacking off. After all, working hard or not working hard would still mean that they can be qualified for the Emerald Elven Battle Competition, so why bother choosing the former, right?
Although this would allow him to see more clearly the members that genuinely want to reach greater heights in their life, but in turn, it would affect negatively in his purpose of training the members of the Mischievous Lion Guild using the Emerald Event. Not to mention, it would also cause that so-called small helps to not be able to gain some benefits.
Suddenly, Cassandra stepped forward and said, ”I know of a method to fix our problems with the Goblins,”
Hearing Cassandra's words, everyone immediately turned their heads to look at her, curious to know what it was.
With all the eyes on her, Cassandra then began talking, ”There is a way to invalidate the stench of killing a Goblin in our body to a certain degree, and that is by receiving the acknowledgment of the Goblins and asking for their Alchemist Goblin to make the Goblin Stench Removal Potion-,”
”But, according to the book I've read, receiving the acknowledgment of the Goblins is very difficult,” Leo suddenly interrupted.
Cassandra shook her head and replied, ”Indeed, it's very difficult, but that is if we use the normal method,”
”Do you mean to say that we will use threats and the likes to force them to acknowledge us?” Leo guessed.
”No,” Cassandra shook her head again in response. She soon explained, ”Forcing the Goblins to acknowledge us wouldn't necessarily result in anything positive. After all, once we kill them, we would just end up worsening our current situation. What we would do instead is to simply cultivate some Goblins ourselves,”
”Go on,” Leo motioned his hand to let Cassandra continue in explaining.
”We will buy some Goblin slaves from the Slave Houses, then teach them Alchemy. Afterwards, we will buy the recipe to concoct the Goblin Stench Removal Potion from the Alchemy Association, and allowing those Alchemist Goblins to learn them. In such a way, we would no longer worry about killing Goblins anymore, as we would already have a stable supply of those potions,” Cassandra finished explaining.
”Indeed,” Leo was able to quickly understand what Cassandra meant. In fact, it wasn't only him that understood her, everyone did as well.
”It's that simple?” Elizabeth asked as she only knew about such kind of method today. Killing Goblins has always been one of the biggest issue for the Snow Noble Household, or even the other Noble Households in the Silver Kingdom back then. If only they knew about such a thing, then they wouldn't have worried about the Goblins.
”I was thinking of asking the Sword and Magic to provide us with the supply of Goblin Stench Removal Potion, but it seems like someone already knew about the secret method,” Angel said, her eyes showing a bit of a disappointment as she realized that her method to get appreciated by Leo was taken away by Cassandra.
”Don't worry, we can use your method as well while we still don't have any supply,” Veronica comforted Angel.
”I feel like Cassandra is more like the Alchemist than me,” Ash can't help commenting.
”Then what are we waiting for, let's quickly exchange all of these Magical Beasts we have caught and then buy some Goblin slaves,” Charlotte said in delight.
”Let's go,” Leo said as he leads everyone towards where they would submit the Magical Beasts they have caught, specifically towards the Emerald Event Hub, a place where people that manage the Emerald Event are working at.
