Along the way back to the Smiling Lion Village, Ethan went to inform Leo about the situation in the Smiling Lion Village and Mischievous Lion Guild while he was in the Elves Secret organization.

Ethan told Leo that the situation of the Smiling Lion Village is now developing on the right track. Its construction plan is still on schedule despite the new addition of 4 square kilometers and 500 square meters of land. Though, the construction plan that they have created for the Smiling Lion Village before had been changed... or, to be more precise, has been improved by Elvis.

Right now, the Executiv­es' Residents, Members' Hotel, Magical Beast Center, Public Market, and Craftsman Street have all been expanded by twice or even thrice of the size of land than what it used to have before.

In addition to those, Elvis has also proposed to construct two different sides of the Smiling Lion Village.

The left side would purely be about entertainment purposes for the Mischievous Lion Guild, which he called the Entertainment Center. This part of the Smiling Lion Village would have the Tavern, Gambling House, a small Sports Hub related to shooting Magic spells, and an Arena.

These four buildings would be like an outlet where the members of the Mischievous Lion Guild would be able to release their pent-up emotions like stress, frustration, anger, and other similar kinds of emotions after doing all sorts of different kinds of jobs and missions in the entire day.

Aside from that, this would also allow the Mischievous Lion Guild to earn back the money that their members were able to earn from their jobs and missions and also potentially earn more money from other people that visit the Smiling Lion Village.

Most importantly, with the members of the Mischievous Lion Guild entertainment needs satisfied, they would definitely be able to exert more energy and effort in the following days to come.

On the other side, specifically the right side of the Smiling Lion Village, it would have the necessary buildings needed for the daily operations of the Mischievous Lion Guild. An example of that would be Craftsman Street where one could find a Blacksmith Store, Alchemist Store, Tailor Store, and the likes. And they could also be able to find the Magical Beast Center over there.

In addition to those two places, a Craftsman Training Center and a Library are going to be added.

The Craftsman Training Center is where the Mischievous Lion Guild would be training the potential Craftsmen of their Guild. After all, as soon as they begin training their own Goblin Alchemist or other Craftsmen occupation, they of course would need a proper place to train them.

The Craftsman have different requirements compared to the Mages and Magical Knights. They don't need to go out to the wilderness to fight in order to improve their strength, go study Magical Books to learn more Magic spells or to look for Magical Beast or Magical resources to breakthrough to the next cultivation level.

What the Craftsman needed instead is the right atmosphere, the required items, tools, and equipment, and most importantly, the right place to properly train them. Like for example, when it comes to training Alchemists, they should be in a place where they are surrounded by fellow Alchemists, with all the Alchemist items, tools, and equipment prepared, and the place should be an Alchemist Laboratory.

Without any of those, it would be difficult for the Mischievous Lion Guild to train their own Craftsmen as they lack the proper requirements to train them.

While the Library is where the members of the Mischievous Lion Guild would be able to find Magic Books, books for different kinds of techniques, training methods, important knowledge, and the likes. So that when a member wants to improve in their cultivation or grow more stronger, like for example learn more Magic spells, techniques, or some necessary information to solve a problem, they would no longer need to visit the Emerald City to find places to gather more knowledge as the Mischievous Lion Guild already have them.

Considering that all of the ideas that Elvis has proposed were perfect, Ethan confirmed all of them without needing to discuss about it with Leo.

Leo doesn't see any problem with Ethan's action as he also agrees with all of that, so they quickly proceeded with the situation of the Mischievous Lion Guild.

Soon, Ethan began explaining to Leo that with the Mischievous Lion Guild growing more popular in every passing second, a few people had indeed come to join their Guild. But because they were considered as weak, specifically with only cultivation of No Star to 2 Star level, he decided to leave it for Leo to handle on what to do with them.

As of now, those people are currently staying inside the territory of the Mischievous Lion Guild, learning more about the Guild while at the same time waiting for the reply of the Guild Leader of whether they are accepted or not.

Hearing all of this news, Leo felt a bit less trouble because although some bad news had indeed happened to him today, he was at least also able to get some good news as well.

What a relief...

After twenty minutes of the journey, the Green Eagle Flyingboat finally arrived at the sky of the Smiling Lion Village.

There was already an open space long prepared for them. So, with Chief Lago's careful control, he slowly landed the Green Eagle Flyingboat on the ground.

As soon as Leo stepped out of the Green Eagle Flyingboat, he quickly spotted all the changes that Ethan had told him about the Smiling Lion Village. Though, this time seeing it with his own eyes made him more delighted.

"It's more than I expected," Leo said to himself.

At this moment, a few of the construction buildings were already finished, with the majority of them already finished halfway.

One of the Members' Hotel was already finished its construction while the other one is halfway completed. On the other hand, all the Executiv­es' Residents are already completed with their walls beginning to be polished, and the furniture that the members of the Mischievous Lion Guild have handmade using the trees and materials that can be found around the Smiling Lion Village are also slowly being brought inside to each of the houses.

The Magical Beast Center has also been finished its construction. Showing to everyone a building that almost looked like a mini Magical Beast Tamer Association with a stable by the side.

In front of the south gate of the Smiling Lion Village, half of the Public Market has already begun its operation. A few stalls were selling some weapons, tools, and equipment that are all made out of iron. But unfortunately, as the Mischievous Lion Guild doesn't have a lot of stocks in their warehouse right now that they can sell, thus the majority of the stalls were only set up to buy items instead.

Lastly, Craftsman Street is halfway completed. From the buildings alone, only the Alchemist Store could be seen to be completed, while the other stores for the other Craftsmen are still having no roofs, or the walls are not fully leveled yet.

As for the newly added building that Elvis had proposed.

The so-called Entertainment Center has already the Tavern completed, while the Gambling House and the small Sports Hub are halfway in their construction to be completed. The Arena though is still not yet to be seen, probably its blueprint is still being discussed, or worst, they don't know how to make an Arena that can host a fight between Mages or Magical Knights. Hopefully, it would be the former...

As for the Craftsman Training Center and the Library, only the latter's building was being constructed while the former's building was yet to be seen as well, just like the situation with the Arena.

Leo was really curious about this, so he decided inwardly that he will come to look for Elvis to ask about this later.

Speaking about Elvis, since he has already returned to the Smiling Lion Village, this should mean that the task of gathering information about the Emerald Tree Kingdom has already been completed.

"It seems like I would have to look for him now," Leo said. He informed the others on what to do as he then excused himself to look for Elvis.

The information about the Emerald Tree Kingdom is a really important part for the Mischievous Lion Guild to win both the Emerald Event and Emerald Elven Battle Competition, and earn the most profit from it.

Aside from that, he would also be able to learn the different powers in the Emerald Tree Kingdom, like for example the Wolf Howl organization, the Hunter Goblin Guild of President Gobil, or the Red Fist Guild of President Orcborg.

Knowing this kind of information is really important not only for him but also for everyone in the Mischievous Lion Guild, as this would allow them to not accidentally offend any of the forces in the Emerald Tree Kingdom that can cause them any sort of trouble.

However, doing this doesn't necessarily mean that he or the Mischievous Lion Guild would back down if trouble itself actually comes to look for them. It's just that he wants to avoid trouble as much as he possibly could. After all, he's not here in the Emerald Tree Kingdom to cause any trouble, that is, aside from the other reason that he hates trouble.
