Soon, Leo and the others gathered together as they then start a meeting to discuss about what they have accomplished today and what is their plan for tomorrow.

At the beginning of the meeting, Leo told everyone that Ash has now officially become a 3 Lotus Novice Alchemist. It immediately caused Ethan and the others to become surprised that she was actually promoted directly to that level instead of starting from the very bottom.

"As expected of one of Mister Loki's women," Ethan can't help commenting.

Leo right after introduced Eilajah; one of the top ten Professional Magical Beast Tamer in the Emerald Tree Kingdom, to everyone as their temporary Magical Beast Tamer.

After hearing such revelation, Ethan and the others couldn't help themselves becoming dumbfounded. It's even more shocking compared to Ash getting directly promoted to a 3 Lotus Novice Alchemist. No, calling it shocking is not the correct word to use, rather they felt disbelief.

In the case of Ash, they could at least say that Leo's women are really capable that's why she directly became a 3 Lotus Novice Alchemist.

However, Eilajah's case was different, since this person is not only a Professional Magical Beast Tamer but on top of that one of the top ten in the Emerald Tree Kingdom as well. Not to mention, with so many Magical Beast Tamers around the Emerald City, the chances of picking one of the top ten and successfully hiring them should be extremely low.

Absolutely no one amongst them was able to expect that Leo would actually be able to invite such a person like Eilajah.

They become even more in disbelief after hearing Eilajah's explanation on how he had met Leo and why he now had become their temporary Magical Beast Tamer.

"Wait, can you explain to us again what happened?" Edward was having trouble believing what he had just heard. It wasn't only him, everyone was feeling the same way as well.

Eilajah heaves a sigh of helplessness as he explained one more time, "I almost got into an accident with Leo and his group due to my Beast Companion losing control during our landing at the airport of the Magical Beast Tamer Association. It would have been okay since they were able to timely dodge, but it had unfortunately destroyed ten of his precious Golems. I don't have that much money, that's why to compensate him I would be working for him for an entire month or until the Mischievous Lion Guild leaves the Emerald Tree Kingdom."

Hearing Eilajah's explanation, Ethan and the others turned to look at Leo, shooting him a look on their faces seemingly saying to him that, "You're really daring to actually trick a top ten Professional Magical Beast Tamer in the Emerald Tree Kingdom!"

They then soon after secretly looked at Eilajah, shooting him a pitiful look on their faces.

After calming down, the meeting continued.

This time, it was about the serious part of the meeting.

First, it was about the Mischievous Lion Guild.

Lex and Virgil were able to successfully register the Mischievous Lion Guild temporarily in the Guild Association of the Emerald Tree Kingdom. However, the benefits they would be receiving were only half, meaning if there is a 50% discount on items they could only get it for a 25% discount.

It's not really that bad for them as they would still be receiving some benefits, but it's also not that good since losing half of the benefit is already considered a lot.

They could only heave a sigh of helplessness after knowing this. They really don't have any other choice aside from accepting it...

After all, the planned location where they would be permanently registering their Mischievous Lion Guild was on the Horizon Empire, not in the Emerald Tree Kingdom, because only by doing that could they really guarantee their own safety from the hands of Emperor Yuta and his Dragon Horn Empire.

"Here," Lex carefully handed to Leo their Guild documents and a Storage Ring which contains hundreds of copper tokens with a symbol of a Mischievous Lion, which represents the Mischievous Lion Guild. He soon explained, "Currently, our Mischievous Lion Guild is only considered a level 1 Guild. Therefore, we can only accept level 1 missions from the Guild Association."

Virgil right after added, "At this moment, the benefits are really nothing much. In fact, there are only two, which is a 5% discount on all the items that the Guild Association are selling and a 5% bonus in completing level 1 missions."

"However," Lex suddenly interrupted, "We can slowly increase the percentage of our Guild benefits with a maximum of 25% and also add more benefits as we increase the level of our Mischievous Lion Guild."

"To increase the level of our Mischievous Lion Guild, we need to complete missions in order to earn Guild points. We need 100 Guild points to get promoted to a level 2 Guild, 500 Guild points to a level 3 Guild, 1,000 Guild points to a level 4 Guild, and 5,000 Guild points to a level 5 Guild."

"Unfortunately, there is also a limit for a temporary Guild..." Lex shook his head, and continued, "We can only level up our Mischievous Lion Guild to the maximum of level 5. Once again cutting more benefits that level 6 and above Guilds could receive."

Hearing this, everyone quickly understood that this limitation was obviously created in order to encourage Guilds to register permanently in the Emerald Tree Kingdom, and at the same time discourage temporary Guilds, or worst, it might even cause a temporary Guild to disband.

Such an event would then allow the permanent Guilds in the Emerald Tree Kingdom to harvest those disbanded temporary Guilds, which not only increase the Guild's strength but also the Emerald Tree Kingdom's strength as well.

Fortunately, such a thing could only cause a tiny effect to the Mischievous Lion Guild since the majority of their members were slaves, loyal members of the Smiling Lion group, and the Hybrids of the Eclipse Village. Though there still exists a chance of a few people, with an exception of the slaves, to be tempted to join other Guilds.

"Aside from that, because we are just a temporary Guild registered in the Guild Association of the Emerald Tree Kingdom, we can't breakthrough from the Bronze rank Guild." Lex added.

"Bronze rank Guild?" Leo curiously asked.

"Apparently, there are different ranks of Guilds, specifically Bronze, Iron, Silver, Gold, Platinum, and Diamond. Each of these ranks has 10 levels in them." Lex replied as he added, "And since we can only reach a maximum of level 5 Guild, then we would be forever stuck in the Bronze rank in the Emerald Tree Kingdom. Maybe we could reach higher levels in other territories, but it's still much better if we go to the Horizon Empire as soon as possible. At that time, we don't need to worry about any limitations anymore as we can level up our Guild to the maximum level."

"Just be patient. Don't forget, we still need to get a lot of things here in the Emerald Tree Kingdom to increase our force. Without that, it would be extremely difficult to get to the Horizon Empire." Leo reminded. But judging from their expression, it seems like his reminder wasn't needed.

Cassandra raised her hand before saying, "To avoid allowing other Guilds from pulling members of our Mischievous Lion Guild, I suggest that we keep a close eye on those people from the Smiling Lion group and the Eclipse Village. It's even better if we focus our resources on them and make them our core members. We don't have to worry about the slaves going to other Guilds as they signed a slave contract with Mister Loki, making them unable to leave him nor betray him."

"In addition to that," Elizabeth soon after raised her hand as she then continued, "Let's promote a way for the slaves to become core members as well."

Leo smiled at Elizabeth as he said, "No worries, I've already begun laying out the foundation for that."

Back then, during the war against the Silver royal family, he had already established the numerical names system for the slaves, specifically calling them Slaves #1 and so on.

He would first call them Slave #1 and so on, and when a slave shows good potential, he would then give them a proper name, which would then somewhat give the slaves a bit of authority and freedom.

Once a slave has become an example, the other slaves would then start thinking that they have a chance to become more than a slave, hence making them work hard to achieve such a thing.

"I only need to improve it a bit and it would be good to go," Leo said in assurance.

"As I expected from our Guild Leader," Ethan said with a smile.

"Guild Leader?" Leo began thinking.

"Well, since the Mischievous Lion Guild has already been established, albeit just temporarily, might as well officially call you Guild Leader Loki, right?" Ethan explained.

"Down with the Mister Loki, go with the Guild Leader Loki!" Cassandra and the others raised their hands to express their agreement.

"The name actually sounds good," Elaine commented.

"Guild Leader Loki!" Edward supported.

"Guild Leader Loki!" Chief Lago supported.

"..."

Hearing everyone calling him 'Guild Leader Loki, Leo smiled before nodding his head and saying, "Then, Guild Leader Loki, it is!"

After saying that, the meeting proceeded to the next topic.
