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,"
Leo was immediately stunned after he heard Elvis\'s words. He asked, "Goblins are actually going to Commander Vargas despite knowing that he hates them?"
"Just like what I said, anything related to slaying Goblins, even if it\'s Goblins against Goblins, Commander Vargas would definitely involve himself. And this time, the Hunter Goblin Guild is as good as dead because from what I\'ve heard, Commander Vargas decided to personally intervene. Seriously, those bastards are really unlucky. Just what crimes did they do to actually cause Commander Vargas to make a move personally?"
"What a pity," Leo said with a tone of disappointment in his voice. He really thought that he\'d be able to experience a bit of action after knowing that it\'s the Hunter Goblin Guild that has caused them to get attacked by those Goblin teams. At that time, he\'d definitely also be able to earn more fame and popularity for the Mischievous Lion Guild again after defeating them, thus attract more people to join his Guild.
Unbeknownst to Leo and Elvis, the main reason why Commander Vargas had actually decided to personally intervene was because of the appearance of Ethan in the Mischievous Lion Guild.
After hearing the piece of information that the Mischievous Lion Guild actually has a member with a Galaxy level cultivation, Commander Vargas quickly realized that Mister Loki is definitely not as simple as he thought, thus he thought that he\'d definitely be able to earn more favors from Mister Loki by taking the initiative of eliminating the Hunter Goblin Guild. In such a way, when he needs some help in the future, he would be able to ask help from a Guild that is bound to become powerful in the future. That is if they don\'t get eliminated... He knows clearly that what he\'s doing right now is the same as betting on the chances that the Mischievous Lion Guild would become successful in the future.
"Anyways," Elvis quickly decided to change the topic again to continue talking about Emerald Event again. He continued, "Going back to the main topic. If we choose to go farther away from the Emerald City in order to find places that are remaining untouched, we would need to prepare a lot of things. One and the most important requirements are transportation,"
"I\'ll say this ahead of time, but merely having three Green Eagle Flyingboats is not enough for this venture. We would have to catch as many Magical Beasts as possible enough to make the trip worth the effort. If we can\'t do that, then I strongly discourage you in choosing to do this because aside from it\'s not worth the effort at all, it\'s also going to cost us a lot," Elvis shook his head in discouragement.
"So what do you consider as enough to make the trip worth the effort?" Leo asked while smiling mischievously. He was able to easily read between the lines of Elvis\'s words.
Seeing Mister Loki\'s mischievous smile, Elvis can\'t help chuckling as he said, "It seems like you already know what I am thinking... To make our venture worth the effort is only if we catch all the Magical Beasts we could find in that Green area,"
Just like what Leo had expected. If they are going to choose to go into a different location to catch Magical Beasts, then the best way to do it is to catch all the Magical Beasts they could find in that place before finally leaving. After all, leaving just after catching a few hundreds or thousands of Magical Beasts is still considered a small harvest, totally not worth it no matter how he thinks of it.
Only if they completely emptied out the place of Magical Beasts, could it be called as worth all of their effort... Not only would they be able to earn the maximum amount of points they could get from that place, but it also means that they can proceed to other locations, thus earning even more points.
However, if they are really going to choose to do this, then they would need a lot of preparations. Not only in their venture, but they also need to prepare the Smiling Lion Village from any possible trouble that will come while they are away for the trip.
"What are your plans?" Leo decided to ask Elvis. Considering that the latter has already thought of doing this, then it should mean that he also has a plan on how they could complete such a goal already inside his mind.
"Very simple, it\'s like this..." Elvis said with a smile on his face as he then began explaining to Mister Loki his plan.
Leo and Elvis spent the entire night talking about how they would complete their goal of catching all the Magical Beasts in a Green area.
A lot of plans were presented by Elvis, and then they both debated it until eventually arriving on the best method.
They repeated this over and over again until the discussion was finally over.
Pleased with everything, Leo and Elvis went into separate ways to prepare for venturing into other locations to catch Magical Beasts.
With that, the real game for the Emerald Event has finally begun....
