Later the next day, Leo and the others finally saw in front of them the silhouette of the Emerald City, the capital of the Emerald Tree Kingdom.

It was very surprising to see the capital of the Emerald Tree Kingdom on the border of their territory, but they soon understood the reason why as Ethan explained to them the information he had gotten during the time he was buying their supplies from the village they have visited prior to entering Emerald Forest.

It was said that the Evergreen royal family doesn't want the capital of their Emerald Tree Kingdom to be situated at the center of their territory because of many reasons. Two of those reasons are; first, because the center of their territory is the most peaceful place, away from fight and such, hence it isn't really a good place to train and grow more powerful people, especially Magical Beast Tamers as they need to be in constant contact with the Magical Beasts. And second, they don't want the Ruler of the Emerald Tree Kingdom to be protected by their people, but instead, they want to be the ones to protect their people.

This very reason alone really reflects why Elves are one of the most respected and admired race amongst all the Foreign races in the entire Celestial World. They have honor and principles that other Foreign races rarely have amongst them.

Even Leo can't help himself from admiring the Evergreen royal family just from those words alone.

However, those thoughts only lasted for a bit as he remembered what Elvin had once said, "The second prince controls the Underground World of the Emerald Tree Kingdom."

He immediately understood that despite that heroic and honorable front of the Evergreen royal family, they still can't escape the darkness in their hearts, which honestly speaking, he doesn't mind at all, because he and the Mischievous Lion organization always believes that it is only through embracing both white and dark would one be able to survive in this cruel world called the Celestial World.

Controlling the light and dark of their Emerald Tree Kingdom is really a wise thing to do. In such a way, there won't be any risk of one of the two falling into the hands of someone with bad intention to their territory.

In fact, this was also the goal of Queen Olivia, that's why the Mischievous Lion organization continued existing despite already defeating the Silver royal family and taking over the Silver Kingdom.

Once Queen Olivia achieves such a thing, then Lionheart Kingdom would be bound to become prosperous in the near future, since there won't be anyone that can threaten her throne from the inside, thus allowing her to focus all of her attention on the outside.

Soon, the three Green Eagle Flyingboats finally landed at the airport of the Emerald City.

As soon as they opened their doors, they were immediately greeted by an Elf wearing a green-colored uniform.

"Greetings, Foreign friends. I am Emor, a receptionist at this airport. I would like to ask, how many days would you like to stay at our airport?"

Hearing this, Leo thought for a bit, as this was really his first time using an airport.

Quickly noticing Leo's inexperience, Captain Marcus stepped forward and asked, "How much is the rate of the stay, Foreign friend?"

"It would be 50 silver coins a day for each Flyingboats for the first month. But if you still decide to stay for the next month, then it would become 1 gold coin a day until the day you finally decide to leave." Emor replied.

Leo was a bit surprised after hearing this, so he asked, "Why did the price rose by 50 silver coins?"

"The first 15 days are considered as our promo and the latter 15 days are the benefits that our ally Foreign races could receive from us." Emor replied.

Leo nodded his head in understanding after hearing this. Half a second later, he waved his hand and took out 45 gold coins from his Storage Ring and gave it to Emor.

"I'll pay for the first month first," Leo said with a smile.

"Okay! Have a great stay, Foreign friend." Emor received the payment before leaving to return back to their office and record the stay of Leo's group in their airport.

"Now then," Leo turned to look at the others behind him.

Leo moved his eyes to Ethan and Elaine before saying, "Ethan and Elaine, bring with you 10 people and look for land outside the Emerald City that we can buy for below 100 gold coins. After that, return here to bring the rest with you and start constructing our base of operation."

"Okay!" Ethan and Elaine nodded their heads in affirmation. They quickly took with them 10 people and 100 gold coins from Leo and excused themselves to begin.

Leo then turned to look at Edward and Sele before saying, "Edward and Sele, bring with you another 10 people to gather information about the Emerald Tree Kingdom. Here are 100 gold coins to buy information from Information Dealers, if you needed one."

"Roger that!" Edward and Sele nodded their heads. They quickly took 10 people and the 100 gold coins before excusing themselves.

"Lex and Virgil, go to the Adventurers Association and register our Guild temporarily." Leo said while looking at Lex and Virgil as he again handed 100 gold coins to them.

"What would our Guild be called?" Lex can't help asking while receiving the 100 gold coins from Leo.

"Indeed, I've long been curious about what our Guild name would be." Virgil added.

"What else would it be called? Of course, our Guild would be called the Mischievous Lion Guild." Leo replied seemingly as if he's stating the obvious.

At the side, Cassandra and the others can't help themselves from heaving a sigh of helplessness. They have already expected it to be like this. After all, it has always been like this from the name of their faction to the name of the organization. It's always been the same with only the word 'Organization' and 'Faction' being different.

"Can we not always use the word, Mischievous Lion?" Cassandra suggested.

"Of course not," Leo shook his head. The name Mischievous Lion meant a lot to him. And besides, it sounds so cool, so why bother changing it, right?

"Okay..." Cassandra quickly decided to give up persuading. What else could she do if Leo already decided on such a name?

Contrary to them though, Virgil and Lex were delighted after hearing this. They have always proud of themselves being part of the Mischievous Lion organization, so they felt delighted that their Guild would also have the same name.

"You can count of it as done!" Lex and Virgil said before quickly excusing themselves.

After that was done, Leo turned to look at the rest and said, "All of you will be staying here to wait for Ethan and Elaine to return." He paused and said, "Chief Lago, you will be in-charged while I'm gone."

"Okay!" Chief Lago nodded his head in affirmation.

"Sebastian, Dan, and old man Torre come with me." Leo called out.

"How about us?" Cassandra can't help asking as she noticed that they weren't assigned with anything.

"Of course, all of you would be coming with me as well. We will be going to different places to register a few of you." Leo replied.

"Where?" Elizabeth followed up.

"We will first go to an Alchemist Association to officially register Ash as an Alchemist. Then go to a Magical Beast Tamer Association to..."

Before Leo could finish his words, Levi suddenly appeared and soon began circling around his head.

"Is it time for me to officially become your Beast Companion?" Levi asked, feeling excited.

Leo smiled while patting Levi's head, "Unfortunately, I still can't officially make you my Beast Companion."

"Why..." Levi's mood quickly became sad after hearing that he still can't become Leo's Beast Companion yet.

"We can't risk revealing your secret to anyone yet. So, you need to wait until we find a Magical Beast Tamer that we can trust." Leo explained.

"Okay..." Levi nodded his head before leaving to play with Ahmed, Jasmine, Vox, and Brad.

Seeing Levi leave, Leo can't help shaking his head. To be honest, he felt the same as Levi. He also wants to make him as his Beast Companion as soon as possible. But, due to the risk of his identity as a child of a Leviathan, he can't just randomly choose a Magical Beast Tamer. Anyways, now that they are here in Emerald Tree Kingdom already, it wouldn't be long for Levi to finally become his Beast Companion.

Leo turned to look at Cassandra and the others again and continued what he was going to say, "As I was saying, we would go to the Magical Beast Tamer Association to hire a few Magical Beast Tamer to help us with the Magical Beast's eggs we have. And after that, we will go shopping to relieve our stress from these few days."

Hearing the word 'Shopping', Cassandra, Elizabeth, Angel, Veronica, Ash, and Charlotte's eyes immediately lit up brightly.

"However, in one condition!"

Of course, Leo wouldn't forget putting on a condition to avoid them from causing him trouble.

"What condition?" Cassandra and the other women immediately asked.

"You guys will still be wearing the Magic Mantle outside and could only remove them when we are inside a store or a place that can limit your exposure. Is that okay?" Leo said, looking straight at Cassandra and the others' eyes.

Cassandra and the others immediately began thinking. And after a few minutes later, they nodded their heads and replied, "Okay, we all agree!"

"Then, let's go!" Leo smiled before leading the way.

Cassandra and the others quickly followed along, feeling excited and delighted at the same time.

Sebastian, Dan, and old man Torre smiled and quickly followed along as well. It's indeed time for them to relax for a bit.
