After explaining that, Elvis then quickly returned back to the main topic, ”Anyways, I don't know what exactly could be found in the important part of the Phoenix Taming Tower, but it's certainly something valuable,”

”To be honest, after discovering the secret underground stairway of the Phoenix Taming Tower, I immediately tried to search the place, in hopes of finding some treasures and the likes. But unfortunately, I found numerous dangerous traps hidden all over the place,” Elvis said with a sigh, he then continued, ”Those traps were so hard to find, and are also something that with my cultivation level alone couldn't hope to defend against. That's why I decided to stop and decided to simply sell the secret of this place instead to the Emerald Tree Kingdom, hoping that someone from there would be able to benefit from this place,”

”If my memories serve me right, it was Commander Vargas who bought the secret from me,” Elvis said.

”So that's the reason why Commander Vargas knows about the secret of this Phoenix Taming Tower,” Leo finally understood why Commander Vargas wanted his help in searching the Phoenix Taming Tower.

Honestly, he really didn't expect that the simple map that he had bought from Elvis before actually holds such a lot of value. Hopefully, though, that this will turn out to be true.

Anyways, he wasn't here to explore this place. He'd just leave the exploring of this place to Commander Vargas and his men, along with Chief Lago, Sebastian, Dan, and old man Torre who he would be assigning to help them.

Now that he's done checking the Phoenix Taming Tower and had even gotten to know some important information about this place, it's now time to catch a 9 Star level Magical Beasts, or best, a Galaxy level Magical Beasts. Though he strongly doubts that they can catch a Galaxy level Magical Beasts this time, considering that there's only Charlotte and Chief Lago present here.

Actually, it's much better that he will just think about catching some Galaxy-level Magical Beasts once Edward returns from his mission with Sele. At that time, there would at least be an assurance for their safety and a high chance of successfully catching a Galaxy-level Magical Beast.

”So, according to the information I've gathered about this place 10 years ago, the Magical Beast tribes that live here are only two, specifically the Storm Sparrow and Treasure Beetle,” Elvis informed everyone. He then continued, ”Both Magical Beasts can fly, and are really powerful. Just putting one of them to the Green Area that we have just cleared is already enough to make them the ruler of the place. And not just any ordinary ruler like the Savage Foxes, because what these two Magical Beasts would do is they would claim the entire place as their own, meaning to say only their species can live in the place while the rest would be kicked out,”

”The first time I came here, this place was a warzone between the Storm Sparrow and Treasure Beetle. I don't know about now, but seeing that we haven't encountered any of the two Magical Beasts yet, it should mean that this place is no longer the same as before. Maybe one of the two Magical Beasts has already won, making this place solely their own territory, or that they have reached an agreement. No matter what it is though, it still meant danger and trouble for us,” Elvis finished explaining.

”I don't have as much information as you know about this place, so I'm leaving it to you to lead our group,” Leo suggested.

”Are you sure?” Elvis can't help asking, a bit dubious. To be honest, such kind of proposal from Mister Loki is really not something that he had expected. From the moment he became a member of the Mischievous Lion Guild, he had never seen Mister Loki giving the leadership of the group that he belongs to somebody else.

”Of course, I'm sure,” Leo nodded his head as he explained, ”If I lead everyone this time, I won't have anything else to say aside from that let's adapt our action depending on the given situation. So, it's much better to let you lead us instead,”

Hearing Mister Loki's confirmation, Elvis smiled delightfully as he replied, ”I promise to you that I won't fail your expectations,”

”Just make sure that all of us here can return safely,” Leo taps Elvis' shoulder before motioning his hand to let him know that the stage is now his.

”Okay,” Elvis nodded his head.

Unbeknownst to Elvis, assigning him to become the Leader of this group was actually Leo's way of determining the level of his leadership ability. After all, he's going to assign Elvis to manage the Intelligence Department of the Mischievous Lion once he passes the test that they have made. And such a position requires a high level of leadership ability.

To determine the level of Elvis' leadership ability, it would depend on how good he would be in their mission this time of catching 9 Star level Magical Beasts.

”Let's start with the information about both the Storm Sparrow and Treasure Beetle,” Elvis decided that it's much better to explain about the two Magical Beasts first before planning on how they should catch them.
