General Luke lead Leo and the others as they soon arrived in a smithy below the castle. 

A Dwarf full of muscle greeted them, "I'm Darvis, the head of the Royal Blacksmiths of the Evergreen royal family,"

"I'm Guild Leader Loki, the Guild Leader of the Mischievous Lion Guild," Leo shook hands with Darvis.

Darvis' eyes immediately showed that he's a bit surprised as he then said, "It's really an honor to meet you, Guild Leader Loki!"

"Oh, you actually know me?" Leo can't help but ask. 

"Well, of course!" Darvis quickly nodded his head. He explained, "Not only do I know you, but your name is also well-known in the Royal Blacksmiths,"

"Why?" Leo curiously asked. 

"Why you asked? Hahaha," Darvis chuckle before continuing, "It's because you bestowed to us, Royal Blacksmiths, a Beast Lord Treasure Beetle!" 

"So that's why," Leo finally understood the reason why. It seems like the Beast Lord Treasure Beetle that the Mischievous Lion Guild has caught ended up in the hands of the Royal Blacksmiths of the Evergreen royal family.

"Blacksmith Darvis, here is the request of King Elfin the Fourth," General Luke finally decided to interrupt and showed Darvis the letter with the signature of King Elfin the Fourth. 

"Oh, forty sets of customized Magic armors," Darvis began thinking after seeing the letter, "We have long not been making other sets of Magic armor ever since we focused on developing the Evergreen armor, but it should still be easy with our skills,"

Darvis turned to look at Leo as he said, "So, what kind of customized sets of Magic armors would you like? The best sets of Magic armors we the Royal Blacksmiths could make is a 9 Star set of Magic armor. So, as long as it is within that range, we should not have any trouble on making it,"

Leo nodded his head in understanding as he then replied, "I only need a 7 Star set of Magic armors. The main material to be used would be an 8 Star Storm Sparrow. As for the rest of the materials to be used, I didn't really bring any of it,"

All of the carcasses of the Magical Beasts that they have killed are all in their warehouse at the Smiling Lion Village. Other materials that could be used in crafting items are also stored there. 

He didn't bother bringing any of it as he really didn't expect anything like this to happen. His first thought when he came to the Evergreen royal family's castle was to only meet with Uncle Elfin and talk about the reason why he has invited them. 

As for hunting those secret members of the Naughty Elves organization in the Evergreen royal family's castle and getting rewarded for his efforts, it was the situation, specifically preventing his real identity from getting leaked, that forces him to do all of those. 

"How many 8 Star Storm Sparrows are we looking at here? And what is the range of level of the other materials you have?" Darvis asked. 

"We have five 8 Star Storm Sparrows-"

Before Leo could even finish his sentence, Darvis suddenly interrupted as he exclaimed in shock.

"FIVE?!!!" 

"Is there something wrong?" Leo asked as he turned to look at Elvis, obviously asking the latter if he had done anything wrong. 

Unfortunately, even Elvis doesn't know the reason for Darvis's reaction. In the next moment, he turned to look at General Luke, as he then finally understood the reason why "I guess it is because they can't believe you have caught that many 8 Star Storm Sparrows,"

"That's exactly the reason why I am shocked!" Darvis confirmed Elvis' guess, he explained, "Storm Sparrows are one of the hardest Magical Beast to catch in the Emerald Forest. Even the Evergreen royal family can only catch 10,000 of them annually, and their level is mostly in the 4 Star to 6 Star Storm Sparrows. Rarely would there be 7 Star Storm Sparrows, let alone 8 Star Storm Sparrows? In fact, when I heard that your Mischievous Lion Guild have caught a Beast Lord Storm Sparrow, I immediately asked his Majesty to give it to us, 

"Unfortunately, his Majesty declined us because he had already given us the Beast Lord Treasure Beetle. His Majesty also said that it would cost a lot of Magical resources to heal the Beast Lord Treasure Beetle, that's why the Beast Lord Storm Sparrow should be put into other use," Darvis suddenly paused as he looked at Guild Leader Loki, he quickly suggested, "Next time you capture a Galaxy-level Magical Beast, exchange it to me instead. I promise you that you will definitely earn more than what you can get in exchange for the Evergreen royal family,"

"How presumptuous of you, Darvis," General Luke sneered. 

Hearing General Luke's words, Darvis furrowed his brows as he said, "Am I?"

"Of course," General Luke nodded his head. He wasn't saying this on the basis of him being loyal to King Elfin the Fourth, but rather because he really doesn't believe that Darvis can give Leo more than what the Evergreen royal family could offer to him. 

Darvis rolled his eyes as he turned to look at Guild Leader Loki and said, "Don't believe General Luke, this guy doesn't know what I'm capable of,"

"Hahaha, says who? Tell me, can you give Guild Leader Le- Loki twenty-five Emerald Elven Flyingboats?" General Luke said with a smirk on his face. 

"Twenty... twenty-five?!!!" Darvis really felt like he had heard wrong what General Luke had said.

"No? Then can you give them the rights to establish a business relationship with the Evergreen royal family? Or a qualification to participate in the Emerald Elven Battle Competition? Base on your wage, I'm guessing you can't, right?" General Luke shook his head mockingly. He also added, "Aside from crafting items, what el-"

"Wait!" Darvis immediately interrupted General Luke. With a puff of his cheeks, he said, "Say, are you actually a stalker?"

General Luke's face immediately turned ugly as he exclaimed, "How the heck am I a stalker?!"

"Because you know a lot about me, and you also know a lot about Guild Leader Loki!" Darvis replied. 

Shaking his head in helplessness, General Luke said, "It's because Commander Vargas was the one who had received those two Galaxy-level Magical Beasts that Guild Leader Loki had an exchange to the Evergreen royal family,"

"Goodness, I almost forgot, you were actually one of Commander Vargas' dogs," Darvis said as he shrugged his shoulder.

"You..." General Luke pointed his finger at Darvis in disbelief. 

"I mean, Commander Vargas' hounds, at least that sounds better," Darvis chuckle as he then turned to look at Guild Leader Loki and changed the topic, "Anyways, aside from those five 8 Star Storm Sparrows, what else do you have?"

"We have thousands of carcasses from No Star to 7 Star Magical Beasts. That should be enough, right?" Leo really doesn't know a lot about Blacksmiths, so he's not quite sure if what he had offered is enough or not. But, he's guessing that it should be. After all, they are only asking for forty customized sets of Magic armors, not one hundred or more.

Darvis' eyes lit up as he grabbed Guild Leader Loki's hands and said, "That's more than enough! Quick, show me those materials so that I can begin planning on what sets of Magic armors I could make for you,"

"No problem," Leo smiled in delight after hearing Darvis words. Though he quickly asked, "But I still need to help Brother Elmont on something really important, so would it be fine if we do it tomorrow?"

"Is it more important than your sets of Magic armors?" Darvis asked as he raised his eyebrows. 

"Not really, but it is important for Brother Elmont," Leo replied. 

"How important?" Darvis still doesn't plan on giving up. After hearing those lists of materials, he can't wait anymore to begin. Just imagining the feeling of making customized sets of Magic armors with almost no limitations already makes him feel so delighted, even more, delightful compared to when he got 'first blood' from his beloved wife.

Leo smile wryly as he said, "It's about Brother Elmont's love life,"

"Oh... It seems like Seventh Prince Elmont and Lady Selina had a fight," Darvis quickly understood just how important this matter was. He waved his hands as he said, "Go on, Guild Leader Loki, be the best wingman for Seventh Prince Elmont so that those two could finally be together. It has already been more than a decade now and yet he still hasn't gotten Selina's 'first blood' yet. Back then when I was still his age, I have already gotten plenty of women's 'first blood'. Compared to Seventh Prince Elmont, I'm a real man!"

All of a sudden though, a cold female chuckle was heard behind Darvis.

"Oho, is that so?"

In an instant, Darvis' entire body began sweating profusely. His head slowly turned to look behind him as he then saw his beloved wife, "Wifey, my beloved wifey. I didn't realize that you're actually here. You... ahhh!"

"Go on, Guild Leader Loki, I still have to deal with something really important with my husband here," The beautiful female Dwarf said as she waved her hands to Guild Leader Loki and the others while dragging her husband, Darvis, to a dark corner. 

Before Dravis' figure could finally disappear from everyone's sight, he exclaimed loudly, "Tell Seventh Prince Elmont for me to quickly get Selina's 'first blood'. He's already a 19-year-old man. If he really can't do that, then he will be the shame of all men! AHHHH!!!"
