After everyone said their piece, Leo then turned to look at Elvis as he ordered, "Elvis, begin investigating Willis now. Nightingale will come along with you to lend you a hand,"

"Yes, Guild Leader Leo!" Elvis and Nightingale nodded their heads before quickly leaving. 

"How about me?"

"How about me?"

Both Iasiah and Elmont asked at the same time. 

"The three of us will investigate the soldiers, specifically those soldiers who are assigned nearby the bridges to the castle," Leo replied, he quickly asked, "Brother Elmont, do you happen to know of any place that will give us a full view to all the bridges around the Evergreen royal family's castle?"

"There," Elmont pointed at the highest tower of the Evergreen royal family's castle. 

"Let's quickly go over there before it's too late," Leo said. 

"Okay!" Iasiah and Elmont nodded their heads.

"Come, I know a shortcut," Elmont said as he opened another secret passage. 

Leo and Iasiah can't help becoming a bit surprised seeing another secret passage in the training ground. Just how many secret passages does Brother Elmont hide in this place? And what are the purpose of all of these secret passages?

Such a thought though only lasted for a brief moment as the two of them quickly followed after Elmont. 

The reason why Leo was in a rush right now to go towards that highest tower that Elmont had pointed at is because he wanted to intercept a message, specifically a report of information about him. 

During lunch, Uncle Elfin had mentioned his real name in the presence of Willis. Of course, Uncle Elfin didn't do it on purpose, but rather because he doesn't know that Willis is a secret member of the Naughty Elves organization in the Evergreen royal family's castle. 

Since that's the case, then Willis would definitely look for his accomplices in the Evergreen royal family's castle to send a report to the Naughty Elves organization about his real identity. 

As it would be so suspicious of those accomplices would leave the Evergreen royal family's castle right now, they would most likely choose to use a messenger, such as a Messenger Pigeon, to send the message.

And where else could be the best place to send a Messenger Pigeon aside from the nearby bridges to the Evergreen royal family's castle. 

The only problem though, the bridge that they have traveled to enter the Evergreen royal family's castle a while ago wasn't the only bridge leading towards the castle. There are a total of four bridges, specifically located at the north, west, south, and east. And the bridge that they have traveled before was the northbridge.

It's impossible for the three of them to choose one bridge to observe each as there are four bridges. That's why they can only look for a high place that will give them a full view of all four bridges. 

Soon, Leo and the others finally arrived at the highest tower in the Evergreen royal family's castle. 

Just like what Elmont had said before, they were indeed able to have a full view of all of the four bridges from the tower. 

Along the way, Leo had already informed Iasiah and Elmont about what they should be looking for. So, the moment they arrived at the top of the tower, they immediately began observing the soldiers who are stationed on top of the walls facing the four bridges.

Actually, Leo could have used his Wind Elementals in this situation to have a much better method to observe the soldiers. But, as he doesn't want the Evergreen royal family to know about his unique capability of summoning Elementals, he could only choose to personally observe the soldiers. 

"Iasiah, come here and look at what that soldier is doing," Leo called out to Iasiah as he pointed at a soldier who came down to the lake. With his current cultivation level, he can't quite see what exactly is that soldier doing from his distance. But he was still able to see that soldier acting so suspiciously by looking at his surroundings every now and then.

Following where Leo is pointing at, Iasiah soon described, "He's just the same as the other soldiers except for the fact that there is some kind of turtle following behind him," 

"That should be a Carrier Turtle! We use Carrier Turtles for easy transfer of material from the castle to the surrounding land of the lake. They could travel fast underwater and we could also use their turtle shell as a chest to put materials inside. That soldier should have put the letter inside the turtle shell!" Elmont exclaimed. 

"F*ck, with how huge the lake is, it would be next to impossible to intercept that Carrier Turtle!" Leo can't help swearing after knowing about the Carrier Turtles. 

If it was an aerial Magical Beasts, then Iasiah could just simply fly and chase after it. But, in the case of water Magical Beasts, even if Iasiah could swim fast with his 7 Star cultivation, it would be extremely difficult to chase after the Carrier Turtle in the water. That's not all, his vision and movement would also be restricted underwater. 

"Wait..." Leo immediately thought of an idea, "Iasiah, quickly bring me down towards that soldier!" 

Without asking for the reason why Iasiah immediately carried Leo as he flew down.

"Wait!" Elmont could only jump down from the tower in order to follow after them. He used the wall of the tower to slide down and support his landing to the ground. He's still a 1 Star Mage, so he's still incapable of flight, that's why he could only do it the hard way.

Down below, Angel, along with both Princess Tifa and Princess Tila, immediately noticed Leo and Iasiah flying above them. 

"What are they doing?" Princess Tifa asked curiously. 

"It looks interesting, let's go and find out!" Princess Tila replied before turning to looked at Angel. To her surprise though, she soon saw that Angel is already chasing after Leo, "Let's go, Tifa!"

Meanwhile, that soldier down the lake had already noticed Leo and Iasiah's descent, hence he instantly quickens his action. 

"Go!" The soldier quickly ordered the Carrier Turtle. 

In the next moment, the Carrier Turtle swam to the lake. 

Whoooooosh!

Out of the soldier's expectations though, some kind of humanoid entity suddenly dives down straight towards the lake. 

Whooooooosh! 

Before the soldier could react, his feet were soon bounded by ice. And instantly, this ice-covered his entire body. 

Shiiinggg!

"Do you really think that you could escape?" Iasiah said before letting go of Leo. 

The moment Leo landed on the ground, he immediately uses the vision of the Water Elemental he had summoned to see the Carrier Turtle it's currently chasing after. 

Seeing the close distance between the two, Leo immediately heaves a sigh of relief inwardly. 

Fortunately, he was quick enough to realize that since it's underwater, there is no need for him to worry about the Evergreen royal family seeing the Water Elemental. As long as he makes it look like he used a Magic spell, Brother Elmont wouldn't know about it. 

Whooooosh! 

When the distance between the Water Elemental and the Carrier Turtle was only less than 10 meters, the Water Elemental immediately made its hands into tentacles and soon caught the Carrier Turtle. 

The Carrier Turtle tried its best to escape by struggling from the tentacles trapping it. But, no matter how much it struggles, it was still unable to escape. In the end, it could only choose to give up.

Well, it didn't actually come as a surprise. Unlike the Carrier Turtle who can only swim fast in the water, the Water Elemental could control the water. Not to mention, water is its domain. Any body of water, even if it is only a small body of water, is something it could use as a weapon, let alone this huge lake. If it really wanted to, it could even make use of the one-kilometer area of this huge lake into its weapon. 

After catching the Carrier Turtle, the Water Elemental quickly returned to Leo. 

"Leo?" Angel called out as soon as she arrived. Her eyes immediately turned to look at the soldier trapped inside an Ice Coffin spell and her guess was soon proven correct. For Leo and Iasiah to do something really weird such as flying above the Evergreen royal family's castle without any reason, it only meant one thing; there is something wrong going on.

"What are you doing here? I thought you were with Princess Tifa and Princess Tila?" Leo asked. 

"We were-" 

Speaking of the two devils...

"What is going on here?" Princess Tifa asked as she suspiciously looked at Leo and Iasiah.

"Woah, are you perhaps playing ice tag or something?" Princess Tila exclaimed as she approached the ice coffin. 

But before Princess Tila could arrive near the ice coffin, Iasiah immediately blocked her, "Princess Tila, I kindly ask you not to approach this person. We are suspecting that he's a member of the Naughty Elves organization,"

"What!"

"What!"

Both Princess Tifa and Princess Tila immediately exclaimed in shock.

"Brother Leo...!" Elmont called while catching his breath. After catching enough breath, he turned to look at the ice coffin before he said, "Thank goodness we were able to catch this traitor,"

But as he didn't notice any signs of the Carrier Turtle, Elmont could only heave a sigh of helplessness, "Unfortunately, we were still unable to stop the Carrier Turtle. Now your identity would be leaked to the Naughty Elves organization... This is all our fault. If only my father didn't accidentally mention your name during our lunch, then they wouldn't have learned about your real identity. Don't worry, I'll take full responsibility for this! I assure you that I-"

Elmont immediately stopped speaking as he soon saw Brother Leo pulling a Carrier Turtle out from the water in front of him. His mouth is now wide open agape as he can't believe that he was actually able to still catch the Carrier Turtle despite that it had already swum in the lake.

"What are you saying again?" Leo asked while smiling mischievously. 

"Nothing...." Elmont could only pretend that he didn't say anything.
