Basing on what Commander Vargas had said just now, it seems like the qualification to join the Emerald Elven Battle Competition wasn't really something that will automatically be given to whoever exchanges a Galaxy-level Magical Beast to the Evergreen royal family, but rather it was included to all the benefits they would be getting from them.

Simply put, by giving them the qualification to join the Emerald Elven Battle Competition, it could be said that they have received three things from the Evergreen royal family in exchange for a Galaxy-level Magical Beast.

Leo really can't help saying inwardly, "What a smart way to decrease the benefits,"

Honestly, if only Commander Vargas didn't mention this, then he wouldn't have thought about it at all. He knew clearly that this is the perks of having Commander Vargas as his friend.

"I don't really know that much of how much exactly is the worth of this Beast Lord Treasure Beetle to the Evergreen royal family, so how about you give me some suggestions first of what we could exchange it for?" Leo decided to ask Commander Vargas for some suggestions. He knew for sure that Commander Vargas knew more about what benefits he could get by exchanging this Beast Lord Treasure Beetle from the Evergreen royal family, considering that he works for them.

"Hmmm..." Commander Vargas began massaging his chin to think of some benefits which are beneficial for Mister Loki that he could get from the Evergreen royal family. After a few minutes, he then proposed, "There's really a lot of benefits you could get by exchanging this Beast Lord Treasure Beetle to the Evergreen royal family, too bad though that they didn't make a list of it to make it easier for people like you to choose."

"One of the most common benefits to exchange from the Evergreen royal family is the right to establish a business relationship with them and a month's worth of allocation to cultivate in the Emerald Tree yearly,"

"But if I was you, then I would exchange this big guy here for five Emerald Elven Flyingboats and 20 Griffins instead,"

"I believe that with the strength of the Mischievous Lion Guild, this wouldn't be the only Galaxy-level Magical Beast that you will be exchanging to the Evergreen royal family. So, a right to establish a business relationship and a month's worth of allocation to cultivate in the Emerald Tree yearly could just be put off for the later transaction,"

"As of now, it's much better for you and the Mischievous Lion Guild to have more transportation method first in order to easily fight against the Galaxy-level Magical Beast that you want to capture,"

"Also, I remember you telling me that you will not be staying here in the Emerald Tree Kingdom that long as your main goal is to go to the Horizon Empire. With the growing popularity of the Mischievous Lion Guild right now, the number of new members joining your Guild would definitely skyrocket to thousands, or maybe it's even ten thousand or so. So, those Emerald Elven Flyingboats and Griffins would surely be a huge help to your Mischievous Lion Guild in your journey," Commander Vargas finished explaining.

"Indeed," Leo nodded his head to express his understanding.

What Commander Vargas had said is indeed very reasonable.

At first, his main intention was to only exchange the Beast Lord Treasure Beetle for the rights to establish a business relationship with the Evergreen royal family and a month's worth of allocation to cultivate in the Emerald Tree, and only later on would he bother exchanging for more benefits.

However, after experiencing the challenge of capturing a Galaxy-level Magical Beast himself, he realized that capturing a Galaxy-level Magical Beast wasn't actually that easy as he expected before.

Their experience of easily capturing the Beast Lord Treasure Beetle before was nothing but a mere lucky encounter. He strongly doubts that the next Galaxy-level Magical Beast that they will be encountering would also be seriously injured, like the Beast Lord Treasure Beetle. At that time, they won't be able to just simply walk inside their place, easily defeating and capturing the Galaxy-level Magical Beast, and escape the place along with the caged Galaxy-level Magical Beast. Instead, they would have to face against their respective forces while at the same time also facing against the Galaxy-level Magical Beast.

If he really wants to capture more Galaxy-level Magical Beast, then having Ethan and the other powerful members of his Mischievous Lion Guild alone would be far from sufficient. Instead, he would have to send more members than what the Mischievous Lion Guild already have to fight against the force of the Galaxy-level Magical Beast while the powerful members would fight against the Galaxy-level Magical Beast itself, and also a much more convenient and faster method to transport them.

The first problem of needing more members to fight is something that the Mischievous Lion Guild could easily solve since right now there are a lot of people that are currently lining up to join their Guild. As long as they could increase their total members to ten thousand or so, or even just close to ten thousand, then fighting against a Magical Beast tribe similar to the Treasure Beetle tribe or the Storm Sparrow tribe would be a lot easier.

But, the second problem is somewhat difficult for them to handle, because no matter how many members the Mischievous Lion Guild would have, as long as they only have the three Green Eagle Flyingboats as their method of transportation, then, in the end, bringing those members to the place where they will be fighting against the Galaxy-level Magical Beast would, unfortunately, take them a very long time to complete.

It would have been fine if it was any other normal day, but this time there is a deadline, which is only until the end of the Emerald Event. Once the Emerald Event is finally over, then exchanging a Galaxy-level Magical Beast for benefits from the Evergreen royal family is no longer available.

Also, once they finally decide to leave the Emerald Tree Kingdom, the three Green Eagle Flyingboats would certainly no longer be enough to transport everyone in the Mischievous Lion Guild.

It would have been fine if only he has 200 or so of members in the Guild just like what they have before, but since now he's currently accepting more people to join the Mischievous Lion Guild, thus it's impossible to transport all of them with only three Green Eagle Flyingboats. Unless, of course, if he decides to kick all of those new members. But would he really do such a thing? That would be very stupid of him since that would not make his Mischievous Lion Guild grow more powerful, but rather it would make it weaker instead.

He really doesn't want to waste such a chance for the Mischievous Lion Guild to grow more powerful. He needs to grab as much benefits from this Emerald Event or else he would come to regret not grabbing this opportunity in the future.

Fortunately, just like what Commander Vargas had said, he could solve this problem easily as long as he exchanges this Beast Lord Treasure Beetle for five Emerald Elven Flyingboats and 20 Griffins. Besides, as long as the Emerald Event hasn't ended yet, then he still has plenty of chances to exchange for the right to establish a business relationship with the Evergreen royal family and a month's worth of allocation to cultivate in the Emerald Tree yearly.

After thinking for a few minutes, Leo finally decided to accept what Commander Vargas had proposed to him.

"Okay, then I would like to exchange this Beast Lord Treasure Beetle for five Emerald Elven Flyingboats and 20 Griffins," Leo said to Commander Vargas.

"No problem," Commander Vargas nodded with a smile. He then added, "You have already exchanged for two things, so what would you like to exchange for the third?"

The five Emerald Elven Flyingboats and the 20 Griffins were only considered as two different things, thus Leo still has one last chance to exchange for something.

Truthfully, back then he had already thought of what kind of benefits he would like to get after exchanging a Galaxy-level Magical Beast to the Evergreen royal family. An example of that was the Emerald Elven Flyingboats and Griffins. But now that he already had them, he's having a bit of trouble with what else he would like to get. This was because Commander Vargas had mentioned to him that what he should be exchanging for is something that will help them capture more Galaxy-level Magical Beast, so he quickly abandoned the other benefits in his list that wouldn't help them achieve that.

"Hmmm..."

In the end, after a few minutes of thinking inside his mind, Leo decided to just exchange for more Emerald Elven Flyingboats. He realized that even if he has 8 Flyingboats, it would still take a lot of time to transport thousands of members from one place to another, especially if the place is as far as that Treasure Beetle Mountain. What he really needs right now is a method for mass transportation, not weapons or whatsoever.

"I change my mind, I would like to request to exchange this Beast Lord Treasure Beetle for a total of fifteen Emerald Elven Flyingboats. What I need now is a method to transport hundreds of people at the same time, so Griffins is not an option as they could only transport at most 3 to 5 people at the same time," Leo decided to change his mind.

All of a sudden, Commander Vargas began laughing. As soon as he stopped, he said, "You are really a one of a kind person, Mister Loki,"

Leo could only scratch his cheeks as he really doesn't know how to respond to Commander Vargas's compliment.

Commander Vargas cleared his throat before announcing, "As the person assigned to represent the Evergreen royal family for this transaction, I hereby declare that I accept Mister Loki's offer!"

After saying that, Commander Vargas turned to look at the soldier beside him who was responsible for writing the items to exchange as he said, "Make it to twenty Emerald Elven Flyingboats,"

"Yes, Commander Vargas!" The soldier replied as he wrote on the paper 'Twenty Emerald Elven Flyingboats'.

"Consider the five Emerald Elven Flyingboats as a token of friendship from the Evergreen royal family," Commander Vargas turned to look at Mister Loki with a smile.

"I express my wholehearted gratitude to you, Commander Vargas, and to the Evergreen royal family as well," Leo said as he bowed his head by a bit.

"No, it's a great privilege and pleasure for the entire Emerald Tree Kingdom to have this transaction with you, Mister Loki, or should I start calling you now as, Guild Leader Loki," Commander Vargas replied while also bowing his head by a bit.

With that, the transaction between Leo and the Evergreen royal family was concluded. The latter received the Beast Lord Treasure Beetle while the former received a total of twenty Emerald Elven Flyingboats the very next day, making the Mischievous Lion Guild own a total of 23 Flyingboats as of now.
