Chapter 480: The real game begins (1/2)
Proofreader: M_W Miss Fierce
It didn't take that long for Leo to find Elvis, who was currently talking with the other injured members of the Night Ear group who are currently still staying in the temporary clinic.
The reason for this clinic being temporary is because it would be transferred soon to the Alchemist Store and the Craftsman Training Center.
Seeing that Mister Loki was looking for him, Elvis bid goodbye to his friends as he then went outside.
”I assume that you're done with gathering information?” Leo immediately asked as soon as Elvis arrived in front of him.
”Yes, though there wasn't really that much of information to gather as I already know a lot of information beforehand,” Elvis nodded his head. He motioned his hand to make Leo follow him as he walked towards the corner of a still under construction building. As it was already nighttime and no one was doing the construction anymore, thus no one would be able to eavesdrop on their conversation over there.
”The information we have gathered is really bad. It simply spells a lot of trouble for us,” Elvis said while showing a helpless expression on his face.
”Why?” Leo curiously asked.
Elvis begins explaining, ”I think that you have already noticed this while you were out hunting for Magical Beasts today. But just this afternoon, we have gathered information that the participants of the Emerald Event had already completely cleared off the majority of the Magical Beasts that can be found in the Green area of the Emerald Forest nearby the Emerald Tree Kingdom and are now planning to begin clearing the Dark-green area tomorrow morning,”
”This means that if we want to catch Magical Beasts, we would have to go deeper to the Dark-green area, or worst, we would have to travel farther from the Emerald City in order to arrive on a Green area that is still remaining untouched by anyone,”
”If we choose to go deeper to the Dark-green area, then we will most likely be encountering a lot of danger, not only from powerful Magic Beasts but also from other participants, and potentially from non-participant as well, like for example are Slave Hunters,”
”In the Dark-green area of the Emerald Forest, the majority of the Magical Beasts that we will most likely be encountering are in the 3 Star to 8 Star level. Considering our current strength, we would most likely be experiencing a lot of difficulty in capturing Magical Beasts,”
”Aside from that, this would also mean that the participants going over there would either have a high cultivation level or are bringing hundreds of people with them. Participants would probably also start forming alliances to help each other in capturing Magical Beasts. This kind of situation is really not that easy to handle, especially since I've just heard that we are actually being targeted by Goblins?” Elvis asked to confirm whether the information he had heard about the Mischievous Lion Guild being targeted by Goblins was true or not.
”Yes, and I'm guessing that it's because of the special trait of their Goblin race,” Leo replied.
Hearing Leo's reply, Elvis shook his head as he said, ”I don't think that it's as simple as that,”
”Go on,” Leo motioned his hand for Elvis to continue. He knows that their topic has already changed from talking about the Emerald Event to talking about why Goblins are attacking them. If it wasn't because of the fact that this is very important for him, then he would have just simply ignored this and make Elvis continue talking more about the Emerald Event.
”To tell you the truth, after hearing those rumors, I've quickly begun to gather information about the reason why the Mischievous Lion Guild is being attacked by the Goblin Guilds. You will definitely be surprised by what I've heard because apparently, the Hunter Goblin Guild is actually the real mastermind behind this. In fact, just before returning to the Smiling Lion Village, I've actually found a really interesting piece of information from Commander Vargas himself,”
”Commander Vargas?” Leo asked while raising one of his eyebrows. How did Commander Vargas get involved with this? Is it because he's trying to secretly protect them? Or is it actually because of another reason?
”Commander Vargas' hate on Goblin race is not a secret in the Emerald Tree Kingdom. Practically everyone that has heard about Commander Vargas also knew about how much he hates the Goblin race. But what you don't know is, as long as it's anything related to slaying Goblins, you'd definitely be able to find traces of Commander Vargas. And from what I've heard, the Goblin Guilds that was tricked by the Hunter Goblin Guild is actually seeking aid from Commander Vargas,”
