Sele didn't participate in the fight against the Storm Sparrow tribe for a reason. Just like Elvis, she was also assigned to investigate something, specifically the location of another Galaxy-level Magical Beast, to be captured. 

Sele went to the Red Area to the west of the Storm Sparrow Tree. It was a place Elvis had named, Nature Hercules Valley. 

Just like what the name Nature Hercules Valley had implied, this is a valley under the territory of a Nature Hercules tribe, specifically the evolved version of the Nature Minions, and with the leader of this place being a Beast Lord Nature Hercules.

"I wasn't able to write any report," Sele scratched her cheeks awkwardly. She was working all alone, unlike Elvis who has many men under his command that he can order to write a report while the others were gathering information, and also the moment she returned she wasn't given enough time to write a report as Leo immediately called out for a meeting.

"It's alright, just tell me what you have found," Leo waved his hands off.

"Ummm... I only found countless Nature Minions..." Sele said before shaking her head in disappointment to herself. She was supposedly assigned to investigate the location of a Galaxy-level Magical Beast living in the Nature Hercules Valley, yet the only thing she found out was a valley full of Nature Minions. 

"You mean to say those cowardly Nature Minions?" Leo doubtfully asked. 

"Yeah..." Sele nodded her head in confirmation. 

"Go on," Leo motioned his hand for Sele to continue speaking. 

Sele quickly explained, "I also thought at first that those were actually Nature Hercules, because base on the Magical Beasts Encyclopedia that Elvis had given to me before leaving, the Nature Hercules is the evolved version of the Nature Minions and that they looked almost identical,"

"However, base on the pictures of the Nature Hercules that I've seen in the Magical Beasts Encyclopedia, they have two or more Magical Plant above their heads. But what I've seen were merely a single Magical Plant, which means to say that they are Nature Minions and not Nature Hercules, 

"I really didn't believe it at first. After all, Elvis had already informed us that this is the territory of a Nature Hercules tribe. I thought that maybe the reason why there are a lot of Nature Minions to be found here is because it's the hatching time for their Magical Beast's eggs. So, I went a bit deeper into the Nature Hercules Valley. But even after crossing tens of kilometers, I still didn't find any signs of Nature Hercules. But instead, what I found out were only even more Nature Minions,"

"Maybe the Nature Hercules are just living even deeper in the Nature Hercules Valley, that's why I wasn't able to find any of them. Of course, I also thought of exploring even deeper, but because you reminded me that we will be leaving once the night falls, that's why I haven't continued even farther," Sele finished explaining. 

"It seems like it would take us some time to look for the whereabouts of the Beast Lord Nature Hercules," Leo went into deep thought. 

Sele was supposedly going to locate the whereabouts of the Beast Lord Nature Hercules, so that they can just simply go over there immediately after exchanging the Beast Lord Storm Sparrow to the Evergreen royal family, and fight against it, like what they did to the Beast Lord Storm Sparrow. 

However, since Sele wasn't able to locate the Beast Lord Nature Hercules, then the only thing left to do is to look for another Galaxy-level Magical Beast. 

With how big the Nature Hercules Valley is, it would definitely take them a lot of time just to locate the whereabouts of the Beast Lord Nature Hercules, especially considering the fact that it used to be a Nature Minion before becoming a Nature Hercules, specifically the Magical Beasts that likes to hide in extremely difficult places to find. Not to mention, traveling to that place would also take a considerable amount of time. 

Doing this would solve their problem about racing against time. So, it's indeed best to find another target, in particular, a Galaxy-level Magical Beast closer to the Emerald Tree Kingdom.

"You are dismissed," Leo said, but he quickly informed Sele, "By the way, please call Elvis for me, I need him for something really important,"

"Yes, Guild Leader Leo," Sele nodded her head before leaving the meeting room.

The only major problem of looking for a Galaxy-level Magical Beast located somewhere nearby the Emerald Tree Kingdom is the fact that he lacks information. Fortunately, he has Elvis, who is not only an Information Dealer but had also explored the entire Emerald Forest in the past and was even the person who created the entire map of it. 

Hopefully though that Elvis' information about the Galaxy-level Magical Beast located nearby the Emerald Tree Kingdom is not outdated. If that really turns out to be the case, then they'd be stuck on searching for the next Galaxy-level Magical Beast to capture.

It didn't take that long for Elvis to enter the meeting room. 

"Guild Leader Leo," Elvis greeted. 

"Come in and have a seat," Leo pointed his hand to the chair beside him. 

Elvis nodded his head and went to sit on the chair. He then asked, "What can I help you with, Guild Leader Leo?"

"Elvis, do you have any information about a Galaxy-level Magical Beast located nearby the Emerald Tree Kingdom?" Leo immediately went straight to the point. 

"Why? Is there perhaps some kind of problem about the Beast Lord Nature Hercules?" Elvis asked curiously. 

"Yeah... Unfortunately, Sele was unable to find the Beast Lord Nature Hercules in the Nature Hercules Valley," Leo replied. 

"Hmmm..." Elvis nodded his head in understanding before thinking of a solution. After a minute or so, he said, "I don't really know if the information I know about the Galaxy-level Magical Beast located nearby the Emerald Tree Kingdom is still useful to this date. After all, my information about them has dated way back to ten or so of years ago..."

"Indeed," Leo can't help shaking his head in disappointment. Just like the worst-case scenario that he had expected; outdated information.

"No worries though," Elvis said with a smile, he continued, "Even if my information is outdated, surely the other Information Dealer staying in the Emerald Tree Kingdom knows a lot about them. We'll just look for some Information Dealers, and then buy the information they have about some Galaxy-level Magical Beast located nearby the Emerald Tree Kingdom," 

"My decision of calling you here is indeed correct!" Leo said in delight, but his face instantly turned solemn in the next moment as he saw Elvis' smiled turned into a frown. 

"But unfortunately, this would also mean that we will have competitors to fight against us in capturing the Galaxy-level Magical Beast," Elvis shook his head. He then explained, "Most of the Galaxy-level Magical Beasts that were caught in the past were all located nearby the Emerald Tree Kingdom. That's why, in order to find more Galaxy-level Magical Beast, they would have to go to farther places just like what we did, though not really that far away... After all, they don't have the same method as ours, which is to use a fleet of Flyingboats to travel,"

"Most likely, they would only go and search those Red Areas nearby the Emerald Tree Kingdom that weren't yet touched by anyone in the previous Emerald Events. However, since these Red Areas are closer to the Emerald Tree Kingdom, it is to be expected already that a lot of people will come and also search for a Galaxy-level Magical Beast over there to capture,"

"That's why whenever someone found a Galaxy-level Magical Beast, the information would soon after spread to all the people present in that area. In order to prevent the information to spread even further, specifically to the entire Emerald Tree Kingdom, the people who knew about it would normally agree to lock down the information and discuss a deal with each other on how they should share the profit. Of course, whenever there is such a situation, the strong people would have more say compared to the weak, thus the information would still end up spreading because the weak wants to earn more profit, but of course only to those people who can pay the right price,"

"Aside from the Wolf Howl organization, there are only the Major Noble Households that can compete against us, so it shouldn't be a problem," Leo said. 

"That is if you only consider the forces in the Emerald Tree Kingdom. But you should already know that the territories nearby the Emerald Tree Kingdom are also participating in this event, like for example the Moon Werewolf Kingdom, specifically the closest ally of the Emerald Tree Kingdom," Elvis said, he continued, "To tell you the truth, most of the outsiders don't really care about whoever we are, they only care about getting benefits for themselves,"

"Not to mention, now that the different sponsors are also making their own moves to earn benefits for themselves as well in the Emerald Event, this would make the other participants more powerful,"

"Even though I know how much you really hate this word, but once we choose to do that, we don't have any choice but to face against a lot of trouble,"

Hearing Elvis' words, Leo could only heave a sigh of helplessness as he said, "Since that's the only way, then... then let's just do it..."

He really can't believe that he's saying this right now. For the first time ever in his entire life, he is actually personally inviting trouble to come to walk inside his house and try to destroy it...

This better be worth it!
