Leo and the others were completely oblivious about Uncle Elfin and Madam Flores' conversation as they were so focused on deciding a reward. 

In the process, they have debated and argued about the pros and cons of all of the rewards on the list. 

It was only after more than half an hour of debate and argument did they finally arrived at a conclusion.

However, since the small celebration has already begun, they decided to just inform Uncle Elfin about it later. He also seems to be busy talking with the other guest, so they shouldn't disturb him for now. 

As soon as Leo and the others went to the food table to choose dishes to eat and returned back to their table to begin eating, they were soon immediately surrounded by a lot of representatives that wanted to get to know them. 

Because of that, Brother Elfin and the others were finally left alone in peace, making all of them heave a sigh of relief. They quickly turned their attention to their dishes in front of them which they have only touched a small portion of and began devouring everything on the plate. Seriously, can't those people not see how hungry they are?!

It took nearly an hour before those representatives finally left Leo and the others alone. But unlike Brother Elfin and the others, they already lost their appetite to continue eating. Why? Well, it's because those people completely ignored the food on their table as they keep on talking and talking while their saliva and sweat sprinkled on their food. 

Anyone in the same situation as them would definitely lose their appetite as well. 

As much as they wanted to tell them to keep their saliva and sweat for themselves, out of respect... No, it wasn't out of respect, but rather they were basically not giving them any chances to say it because every time one of them was finished talking, another one would immediately begin having a conversation with them. This keeps on repeating over and over again until only Fate knows whose saliva and sweat has been mixed on their foods.

Those peoples action were completely different to how they were having conversations with Brother Elfin and the others a while ago. During that time, they were all acting so respectful and mindful of their actions. But yet when it came to them, they acted as if akin to having casual conversations with them.

Although it was actually very easy to understand the exact reason why. Just now, they found out that the majority of those representatives were actually from Guilds, not Noble Households, which finally explains the reason why their actions doesn't carry any hint of noble air at all and why they seems to be so casual with them.

In the end, they could only go back to the food table and grab plenty of desserts to stop their protesting stomach. 

With all of the efforts they have done yesterday, it is only natural for them to be this hungry. If only this wasn't the Evergreen royal family's castle, they would have definitely long flipped out and given those people something that they would definitely not forget in their entire life.

After an hour or two, the celebration has finally ended. 

Leo and the others were invited by Uncle Elfin to discuss about their rewards in his study room.

Sitting opposite to each other, Uncle Elfin asked, "So, have all of you reached a decision yet?"

"Yes," Leo nodded his head, but he first asked, "We just don't really know if you will agree with it though..."

The rewards that they have chosen were a bit special. It wasn't listed in the list, but instead something they have thought about after looking at the list. 

"Let me hear it first," Uncle Elfin said. 

"It's like this," Leo took out the list as he pointed first at the Emerald Elven Flyingboat as he said, "Would it be fine if we order a different style of Flyingboats? Its not that we don't like the Emerald Elven Flyingboats, its just that we wanted to have a Flyingboat that has the signature of the Mischievous Lion Guild,"

The Emerald Elven Flyingboat is obviously the signature Flyingboats of the Emerald Tree Kingdom, just from basing on its name alone.

Although they don't really have a problem with the Emerald Elven Flyingboats, because as far as they have seen, its performance was good and much better compared to the three Green Eagle Flying boats. 

Nevertheless, they still found it a bit strange and weird for their Mischievous Lion Guild to have tens of the signature Flyingboats of the Emerald Tree Kingdom. After all, the Mischievous Lion Guild doesn't belong to the Emerald Tree Kingdom nor the Evergreen royal family. 

That's why it is much better for them to have Flyingboats that they could, even at the very least, call their own. 

"Not a problem," Uncle Elfin easily understood what Leo meant with his words. Honestly, he actually also agrees with this, "I will send someone to go to the Evergreen Shipyard and inform them about your request. But unfortunately, because your order is a bit special, you would have to wait for a week or so, or even much longer depending on your request, for them to finish, would that be alright for you?" 

"It's fine. Anyways, we won't be going anywhere once the Emerald Event is over. So, we won't be using any of our Flyingboats at that time," Leo replied. 

"Oh," Uncle Elfin quickly thought of something, he continued, "Since you won't be using any of your Flyingboats anyways, then why not send those to the Evergreen Shipyard as well to be customized? In such a way, all of those Flyingboats that we have given to you will have the signature of the Mischievous Lion Guild and you won't have to worry about such problems anymore,"

"Would it cost a reward?" Leo curiously asked. He quite liked what Uncle Elfin had proposed to him, but as they have already agreed on what to use all of those five rewards for, they would have to discuss with each other once again if they have to sacrifice one of the rewards they have agreed. 

"Well, of course! We can't just give our service for free, right? No worries though, it would just cause you one reward," Uncle Elfin replied with a smile on his face. As much as he wanted to give such service for free to Leo, as the King of the Emerald Tree Kingdom, he also needs to think of what could benefit them. And besides, he had already given the Mischievous Lion Guild a lot of things. If he really gives more than that, then he might just earn himself a loss. That's why he needed to lower the cost of the reward that they are asking.

"For a bit," Leo turned to look at Angel and the others as he asked, "Are you guys fine with that?"

"I don't really mind exchanging the war weapons to customized all twenty-five of Emerald Elven Flyingboats that we have to fit the image of the Mischievous Lion Guild," Angel said. 

"Sets of Evergreen armors is something we really needed to give to our core members once we have chosen them, so let's exchange the war weapons for that instead. Anyways, those Flyingboats also have Elven Cannons on them, so it doesn't really matter," Elvis added. 

"I agree!" Iasiah nodded his head in agreement. 

"Fine with me as well," Nightingale also expressed his agreement.

Hearing everyone's agreement, Leo turned to look at Uncle Elfin as he said, "We will take that as one of our rewards,"

After saying that, Leo quickly wrote on a separate paper 'Customizing all twenty-five Emerald Elven Flyingboats'. 

"So, how many customized Flyingboats would you be asking?" Uncle Elfin immediately returned back to the first topic.

"Since one reward is equivalent to five Flyingboats, then we would be asking for ten Flyingboats, which counts as two rewards," Leo replied as he wrote on the same paper 'Ten customized Flyingboats'.

"So next would be sets of Evergreen armors, right? One reward would be equivalent to twenty of such sets of Magic armors set, so how many Evergreen armors do you want?" Uncle Elfin asked.

Leo nodded his head as he replied, "We would like to ask for forty sets of Magic armors. But similar to the Flyingboats, we also want to ask for a customized sets of Magic armors, would that be fine?"

The reason why he wanted to ask for a customized set of Magic armors is not mainly because he wanted it to have the signature of the Mischievous Lion Guild similar to the Flyingboats, but also because he wanted to use other materials in crafting them. It's time to make use of those 8 Star Storm Sparrows that they have caught and those carcasses of Magical Beasts that they have killed.

"Not a problem. I'll order our Royal Blacksmiths to cater to your order. Once we are done here, General Luke will take you to meet them," Uncle Elfin nodded his head. He then asked, "So, is #that all? If you want to change for something else, then it's not yet too late,"

"No," Leo shook his head as he wrote 'Forty sets of customized Magic armors' on the paper. He continued, "Those would be all,"

"Okay," Uncle Elfin said as he then informed one of his men outside of his study room to call out for General Luke. 

It didn't take that long for General Luke to arrive. 

"Your Majesty," General Luke greeted Uncle Elfin as he then turned to look at Leo and the others and bowed his head by a bit to greet them. 

Uncle Elfin wrote his signature on the paper where Leo had written all of the rewards he had asked as he then gave it to General Luke and said, "Bring Leo and his people to meet with our Royal Blacksmiths and show them this,"

General Luke accepted the letter as he soon understood the reason why. He nodded his head in affirmation to King Elfin the Fourth. 

"Once you are finished with the Royal Blacksmiths, assist Leo to get those other rewards," Uncle Elfin said before walking to his table, "You all can leave now. I will not be seeing you off, because as you can see, I still have a lot of things to finished before the start of the Emerald Elven Battle Competition,"

Leo can't help but empathize with Uncle Elfin after seeing the numerous stacks of papers beside his table, "We will be going then, Uncle Elfin!"

"Goodbye, let's see each other again once the Emerald Elven Battle Competition begins," Uncle Elfin reminded.
