Chapter 521: Eilajah joining the Mischievous Lion Guild (1/2)
Proofreader: M_W Miss Fierce
Fortunately, Leo's plan works well in the end. He was able to successfully turn the red-colored String of Fate of Eilajah back to green once again. The only thing left for him to do now is to make Eilajah join the Mischievous Lion Guild and then make him sign a contract for confidentially so as to prevent him from revealing any information about Levi's real identity as a Leviathan to someone else. Only with that could he have peace of mind that there would be no accidental leakage of information.
As for how exactly he would achieve that? Just like what he had said just now, Eilajah's clumsiness is what will make him someone really powerful in the future.
”Your clumsiness is not actually the proper term to use on you,” Leo said as he passed a chair for Eilajah to sit down on.
Eilajah accepted the chair, sat on it, before asking in doubt, ”What do you mean?”
Leo sat down on his chair facing opposite to Eilajah as he crossed one of his legs to the other and saying, ”The peculiar thing happening to you is not clumsiness, but rather it's a sudden spike of your fortune, or otherwise can also be called as luck,”
”Luck?” Eilajah asked as he was still unable to understand what Mister Loki really meant with his words.
”I've actually looked into a bit of your information that Elvis had sent to me before. Don't worry though, because I don't mean any harm. I'm just a very cautious person and I don't like having people that I don't know a thing about work for me,” Leo explained to make his reason for collecting information about Eilajah clear. He then continued, ”I've noticed that every time your supposed clumsiness strike, aside from affecting you negatively, it also results into something positive, or what I liked to call us, luck,”
”Remember our first encounter?” Leo asked Eilajah.
”Yeah... I almost got into an accident with your group. Fortunately, though, you were able to quickly summoned some Golems... No, now that I know about your ability to summon Elementals, what you have summoned at that time should be Earth Elementals, right?” Eilajah asked in confirmation.
”Yes,” Leo nodded his head, not intending to hide the truth about that time anymore.
”I can't believe that you have just scammed me!” Eilajah said a bit displeased.
”It can't be helped. After all, I saw a great opportunity to gain a profit out from you, hahaha,” Leo said while laughing. In the next second, he immediately went right back to the main topic, ”Anyways, although I've scammed you, you were at least also able to solve one of your greatest worries at that time, right?”
”Indeed...” Eilajah nodded his head, he continued, ”At that time, I was really worried about where to look for more jobs, considering that majority of the people don't want to hire me anymore due to my clumsiness... Wait... So you mean to say that; my clumsiness, or let's called it as my luck, made me get into an accident with you in order to fix that problem?”
”Exactly,” Leo nodded his head. He quickly added, ”I have studied thoroughly into the jobs you've completed in the past, and although you weren't able to achieve what your employer had exactly needed from you, you have still completed them with excellence, which is the reason why you are one of the top ten Magical Beast Tamer in the entire Emerald Tree Kingdom,”
”One such example was when you gave that certain someone who has a Green Fur Ape as a Beast Companion a list of ingredients to help it recover from some unknown complications, you were instead able to make its breakthrough to become a Green Fur Gorilla due to you accidentally writing one wrong ingredient,” Leo said before heaving a deep sigh to express his pity for Eilajah as he continued, ”But unfortunately, despite that achievement, a rumor has already spread from a group of Alchemists who concocted that medicine for you about how you have written a wrong ingredient. And not only that, the employer who had hired you, despite giving you positive feedback on your service, actually also agreed with that rumor as well. He even added to that rumor that you were only lucky that no accidents had happened to his Beast Companion, despite such a fatal mistake. It was because of that why your success was overshadowed by the negativity that was spreading,”
”Yeah...” Eilajah could only smile wryly to express his helplessness in that situation. What else could he do? The rumor spreading about him writing one wrong ingredient in that medicine was unarguably true.
”That wasn't the only time that such a thing had happened to you. But despite all of your achievements, there was always a lot of negativity that comes along with it,” Leo added while patting Eilajah's shoulder to console him. He added, ”It can't be helped, those people were simply just blind to see your true worth. They didn't understand that if things happened many times, it's no longer called an accident, but rather it's your own skill that makes you achieve all of those,”
With a smile on his face, Leo said, ”You don't have to worry though, because now that I'm here, I don't mind letting you help me hatch as many Magical Beast's eggs as you can.”
After saying that, Leo threw Eilajah a Storage Ring which contains tens of Storage Rings inside. Those Storage Rings inside was where he had stored all the Magical Beast's eggs that they have gotten from their clearing operation of that Green Area.
”What's this?” Eilajah asked while looking at the Storage Ring that Mister Loki had given to him.
