An hour and a half later, everyone finally returned to the three Green Eagle Flyingboats, bringing with them the necessary items they needed.
Before finally leaving, a few people ca asking whether they can pay for a ride to the Erald Tree Kingdom. After all, going there by Flyingboat would be the most safest way possible, so they of course would want to try their luck. No one knows, maybe they will agree on the right price. At that ti, they would certainly no longer need to experience a life-threatening journey.
However, with Leo's extrely cautious character, he didn't hesitate to refuse them. He didn't even bother saying any reason why.
The reason why he refused them was simply because he doesn't trust them, and he was also cautious of anyone not part of his group as well. Moreover, just like what he had repeatedly ntioned already; this was no longer the territory of Lionheart Kingdom. If he was still in Lionheart Kingdom, he wouldn't even be afraid of picking up an unconscious woman in the middle of the road to Silver City, like what happened with Cassandra, since if the situation really turns out for the worst he could always count for the Mischievous Lion organization to help him. This ti, however, he could only have himself and the few people around him to count. And if they are not enough, then he wouldn't have any choice left but to retreat.
Soon, they slowly took off as they flew in the direction of the Erald Tree Kingdom.
With the distance of the village and the Erald Forest, it didn't take that long for the three Green Eagle Flyingboats to finally enter the territory of the Erald Forest.
Everyone imdiately went into high alert mode and was cautious as they observe 360 degrees around them.
The war weapons already have people manning them and at the side were people that will assist them, people capable of casting Magic spells prepared themselves on the deck, others already took out their bows and other ranged weapons, and the crew that the Captain had personally picked prepared themselves to assist the Captain once the ti cos.
The three Green Eagle Flyingboats positioned themselves in a triangle formation, specifically the Flyingboat that Leo was on board at the very center with the Flyingboats of Eclipse troops at the right and the slaves at the left.
anwhile, Leo was right beside the Captain who he now knew was nad Marcus, telling him the direction where to go.
Marcus was one of the slaves he had gotten for free from the stupidly honest Boss Kent. He was once a Captain of a Flyingboat before getting captured by Slave Hunters and sold as a slave to a Slave rchants. Eventually, he arrived at the Red Axe Slave House and was then involved with the operation of taking over the Southeast Fortress.
The other Captains of the two other Green Eagle Flyingboats were Marcus' Vice-captains in the past, specifically John and Jhon, they are twins. That's why there should only be a small problem with their cooperation as the three of them are long familiar with each other.
"According to this map, we have entered from the southeast area of the Erald Forest. The Erald Tree Kingdom is located nearby the exit of the southern area of Erald Forest, so we should continue traveling southwest and we will eventually be able to arrive at Erald Tree Kingdom." Leo said while drawing a straight line from the village they have visited a while ago straight towards the Erald Tree Kingdom.
"Mister Loki, can I ask for you to lend the map?" Marcus said, seemingly thinking of sothing.
"No problem," Leo quickly handed Marcus the map.
Marcus received the map before quickly analyzing the path. Soon, he returned to Leo the map before suddenly turning the wheel to the south.
Leo was imdiately surprised seeing Marcus's action.
"No need to worry, Mister Loki. I am only doing this in order to avoid entering the dark-green area of the Erald Forest. I've noticed that you hate troubleso things, so I am avoiding it for you," Marcus explained without waiting for Leo to ask while still looking at the front.
"Alright, you're the Captain, so you know better than ," Leo smiled in reply.
"Thank you for the trust, Mister Loki," Marcus nodded his head.
After tens or so of minutes, Marcus turned the wheel of the Green Eagle Flyingboat to face the southwest direction again, implying that they have safely avoided the dark-green area of the Erald Forest.
Along the way, Marcus did many turns and even went high up in the sky to avoid any troubleso places. He had also courteously asked Mister Loki to show him the different maps of the Erald Forest, allowing him to know more things about the wilderness. It was only through this that he was able to successfully avoid those troubleso places. Simply put, the more maps he received, the safer the journey beca.
At the sa ti, Marcus also started admiring Mister Loki's ticulous character. If it was other people, then they would have only bought a single map and leave imdiately. They wouldn't bother asking for different kinds of maps.
What Marcus' didn't know though, it was actually the Cartographer and Information Dealer Elvis that inford Leo that there are a lot of maps of the Erald Forest. Without being inford about that, then he wouldn't have known about such an important information.
Honestly, Leo has only used maps thoroughly for cities and similar territories. It was his first ti using maps thoroughly for wilderness during the trip to Sun Desert. That's why he doesn't know that much yet. But now that he knew about it, he would always keep it in mind in order to avoid troubleso situations.
When the night ca, Leo imdiately issued an order to land on the ground and set up a camp. They can't continue with the journey during the night because not only would there be a lot of Magical Beasts active during the night compared to the day, but almost everyone would also be tired after being on constant alert and cautious during the entire day. It's always important to have enough energy and stamina during any journey in the wilderness. This was sothing that Leo has always put in mind.
Because it was in the middle of the forest, Leo sent out Ethan, Edward, Chief Lago, Sebastian, Dan, and a few other people capable of flight to cut down the trees so as to create enough space for the three Green Eagle Flyingboats to safely land.
He also sent out in advance Lex, Virgil, and a few others to start constructing a temporary defense for the night. After all, camping in the wilderness in such a huge group would naturally attract a lot of Magical Beasts, so they need to create defenses to give themselves so advantages.
It didn't take that long for everyone to finish, thus finally allowing the three Green Eagle Flyingboats to safely land on the ground.
The majority of the people disembarked from the Green Eagle Flyingboat and started making a temporary camp. A few also started cooking for their dinner tonight.
anwhile, Leo and the other important people gathered inside a tent to discuss about the Erald Tree Kingdom.
Taking into consideration their smooth trip right now, they would most likely be arriving at Erald Tree Kingdom tomorrow, a new territory that they only knew a few information about.
They won't really stay that long in Erald Tree Kingdom, but they would also be staying for so ti.
They have plenty of reasons and purposes for visiting the Erald Tree Kingdom.
One was to make a na for themselves. After all, this was one of their goal from the very beginning; to gain fa and henceforth attracting more capable people to join them.
Aside from that, he also wants to find a Magical Beast Tar to finally make Levi his Beast Companion, thus finally honoring his promise to the little one in front of his parents. And likewise, he also wants to try to invite a few Magical Beast Tars to join them in order to make use of the Magical Beast's eggs with them in the future.
Elves were known to have the best capability to communicate with Magical Beasts, so he's sure that he would definitely be able to find one in this Elf Kingdom.
However, and most importantly, since Levi was a special Magical Beast due to him having the pure bloodline of a powerful Leviathan, he needs to look for soone he can really trust to keep Levi's identity as a secret of topmost importance.
The only way to do that though is to have enough fa and status for soone to give that to them. No one would foolishly give such a thing to soone unknown, and likewise, it would also be stupid of them to trust those people that would actually give them such a thing to them. Hence, another reason why they would have to stay in Erald Tree Kingdom for so ti.
Moreover, he also wants to buy the specialty of the Erald Tree Kingdom, specifically Elven Flyingboats, Magical Beast Taming Books, Nature Elent Magic spell Books, and many more that Elves are proficient at.
Last but not the least, he wants to establish a close relationship, or at least a business relationship, with the Evergreen royal family, if possible, or just the Noble Households.
This is one of the topmost priorities for a Guild foundation to grow and make their Guild even more powerful. To have a good relationship with different people in other territories so as to have a proper and safe channel for different types of businesses. Like for example, information, missions, items, and many more.
But of course, it is also possible for them to have more things to do. But so far, he was only able to think of those.
When everyone finally arrived, they then began the discussion.
