Chapter 522: Sponsorship? part 1 (1/2)

Proofreader: M_W Miss Fierce

”Levi, you come with us,” Leo called out to Levi, who was shuddering in a corner, afraid that Leo would scold him after causing him trouble just now.

”Okay...” Levi replied nervously. He really didn't mean to cause Leo any trouble. Vox and him were just simply playing together a while ago and then they decided to come to this place thinking that nobody was here as it was so silent. But then when they got inside, they found Eilajah hatching some Magical Beast's eggs. Eilajah turned to look at them in curiosity, and it was then that his identity as a Leviathan was discovered, which is honestly something that he didn't expect to happen because despite already meeting a lot of people after all of this time, it was only at this moment that his identity was discovered.

”Be sure to behave, and take this,” Leo said before throwing a Storage Ring to Levi.

Levi quickly caught the Storage Ring, and without any hesitation, he looked inside of it.

Whoooosh! Whoooosh! Whoooosh!

In the next moment, Levi started circling up on the air to express his happiness. He soon landed on Leo's shoulder before rubbing his head to Leo's cheeks to express his affection.

”Soon, we will sign a contract with the help of Eilajah, and after that, you will officially become my Beast Companion, just like what your parents had told me to do,” Leo rubs Levi's head.

”Okayyyyy!” Levi nodded his head excitedly before flying back up again.

”Parents?” Eilajah asked in shock. He continued, ”You mean to say that you have met more Leviathans before?”

”Yes,” Leo replied, but he heaves a heavy sigh before explaining, ”But unfortunately, both of them had died as they decided to sacrifice themselves to save everyone,”

”That's really unfortunate...” Eilajah expressed his pity. Based on the book that he had read before about the Leviathans, there were less than a hundred Leviathans to ever be recorded to exist. So, if one of them died, that will cause their total population to slowly come closer to extinction. The mere thought of having such a powerful species of Magical Beast becoming extinct is really such an unfortunate thing to happen. Not only because they will cease to exist in the Celestial World but also because every knowledge that could be learned from them will disappear and never be discovered again.

If Leo knew about what Eilajah was thinking right now, he would definitely mock the latter for having such shallow thoughts. The purpose of the Leviathan's existence in the Celestial World was never just to merely provide the people like them with more power or knowledge, but rather it was to protect them from the Gods of the Celestial World. That's why if ever the Leviathans cease to exist, the people living in the Celestial World would lose one of the chances to fight back and protect themselves from the Gods of the Celestial World.

Soon, Leo, Levi, and Eilajah arrived at an office room that occupies an entire floor located at the top-most floor of one of the hotels that the Mischievous Lion Guild has finished building. It was the place where Ethan and Elaine were busily working on some important matters concerning about the Mischievous Lion Guild, which includes accepting members or deciding important decisions, along with the members of the Bravo Lion team.

Walking inside the office, Leo immediately noticed that it was almost covered with stacks upon stacks of papers. Some stacks of papers even reached up to 10 feet high.

Coincidentally, Elvis was also inside, currently talking with Ethan about something that seems to be serious.

Ethan had reminded Leo before to come here today as he has something to give to him. He also said that he was going to introduce to him his own office, making him a bit excited because he finally has a proper place to work, unlike before where he could only work inside a tent.

”Mister Loki, you're finally here,” Ethan called out to Leo after he noticed him walking inside. He quickly stood up from his chair and stored a few stacks of papers by his side inside a Storage Ring. And after doing that, he walked towards Leo and handed him the Storage Ring.

”What are all of those papers for?” Leo can't help asking after receiving the Storage Ring from Ethan.

”Those were all important documents that can only be signed by the Guild Leader himself,” Ethan replied as he then quickly explained, ”It includes job request from the Noble Households, request of cooperation from the top Guilds in the Emerald Tree Kingdom, invitations by some prominent figures from both politics and military, which also includes some invitation letter from noble ladies, for you know, that kind of thing that I don't need to mention about... and curiously, there's a strange request for sponsorship,”

”I don't really know what exactly that sponsorship-thing is for, but Elvis here was the one who sent that letter to me just now. As he was going to explain to me about it, you suddenly came inside, so I'll leave the explaining to him instead.

”And last but not the least, a request to join the Mischievous Lion Guild. I'll leave all of those things to you to handle, while I'll be busy over there dealing with the matters about the construction of the Smiling Lion Village, again...” Ethan quickly returned back to his table in a bad mood after he finished explaining and buried himself back again with mountains of work. To be honest, his situation right now is no different back then when he was still the Fourth Prince of the Silver royal family. Though he also understood that this is only for the meantime, as the Mischievous Lion Guild is still at its beginning phase. It still can't change the fact though that he's in bad mood right now.

”Okay...” Leo was a bit speechless at Ethan's action just now. It seems like Ethan is not happy about the fact that his working inside an office while the others are currently doing a lot of interesting things outside, including his older brother, Edward.

Leo turned to look at the inside of the Storage Ring while thinking about how many papers exactly were inside. In the next moment, he can't help heaving a heavy sigh of helplessness.
