It was at that exact moment that Elvis had realized just how weak he was because, at any given moment, his precious life could be easily taken away from him as if it was merely nothing, especially in the face of Constellation-level Magical Beast such as the Beast King Nature Emerald Dragon. 

"At that moment, my mind completely blanks out, and I wasn\'t able to think of what to do. The only thing that was being subconsciously registered in my mind was this is the end of me," Elvis suddenly heave a sigh of relief, evidently because his expectation didn\'t become a reality. 

Elfin the Fifth, and Charlotte and the other allies quickly wanted to say something, specifically they wanted to ask Elvis how he had survived and escaped that place alive despite the presence of the Beast King Nature Emerald Dragon. But, the latter was one step ahead of them, as if expecting their questions already. 

"After staring at me for some time, the Beast King Nature Emerald Dragon suddenly turned his attention towards the inside of the cave, seemingly like curious of what I have over there," Elvis continued speaking, "And the scene that I will never forget for the rest of life happened..."

.....

All of a sudden, a cold male voice sounded from the jaw of the Beast King Nature Emerald Dragon, "What are you doing here, young man from the Elf race?"

Hearing the unexpected voice of the Beast King Nature Emerald Dragon, Elvis could only blink his eyes multiple times out of shock. He wasn\'t even able to utter a single word as he was rendered in disbelief. 

Seeing Elvis unresponsive, the Beast King Nature Emerald Dragon exhales a mouthful of hot air from his nostrils towards his direction. 

Whoooosh! 

"Ahhh!" Elvis quickly blocked his face using his hands after the hot air blown upon his entire body. 

"It seems like you are not a mute, so why aren\'t you replying to my question, young man from the Elf race?" The Beast King Nature Emerald Dragon asked, a bit displeased. 

"I..." Elvis was still unable to pull himself together as he really can\'t believe what is going on right now. He really thought that the rumors about the existence of the ruler of the Emerald Forest weren\'t real, yet now he finally realized just how stupidly wrong he was. 

"Are you disrespecting me, young man from the Elf race?" The Beast King Nature Emerald Dragon expressed that he has only a little bit of patience left for Elvis. If this man doesn\'t answer his question, then it will not hesitate anymore to kill him after trespassing from its territory without any permission, especially considering the fact that this is its own home. 

"No, no, no, no, no!" Elvis hastily replied after finally realizing that he had displeased the Beast King Nature Emerald Dragon after taking so long to respond. 

"Good, then how about you answer my question now," The Beast King Nature Emerald Dragon ordered, while slightly calming down.

"Yes! Umm..." Elvis suddenly began scratching his cheeks. Evidently, he had forgotten what the Beast King Nature Emerald Dragon had asked him just now. After all, his mind was a complete blank a moment ago, so even though he had heard it saying something, he wasn\'t able to tell what exactly it was trying to say to him. 

Inside his mind, Elvis is hesitating whether he should ask the Beast King Nature Emerald Dragon to repeat the question again or not, in fear that he would cause further displeasure to it. 

"Are you treating me like a fool, young man from the Elf race?!" The Beast King Nature Emerald Dragon exclaimed in irritation. It soon after opened its jaw, and a green-colored sphere slowly formed inside its mouth. Observing closely, this green-colored sphere is actually a swirling orb of powerful Nature Element Mana. To be more precise, its Magic Power is akin to a Magic spell of a 5th Galaxy-level Mage.

As a knowledgeable person, Elvis easily identified the attack of the Beast King Nature Emerald Dragon as the infamous Dragon\'s Roar! And based on the color of it, it should most likely be a Nature Dragon\'s Roar! 

Knowing that he will die anyway once he received the Nature Dragon\'s Roar, Elvis braced himself and finally decided to ask, "I deeply apologize from the bottom of my heart, great and honorable Dragon, sir. I... I was unable to comprehend your question before because I completely blank out after discovering that you are actually real and not a mere rumor. If it is alright with you, may I ask for you to repeat your question again?"

After he finished saying that line, Elvis immediately closed his eyes while at the same time hoping deep inside of him that the Beast King Nature Emerald Dragon would not kill him. 

As soon as it heard Elvis\' words, the Beast King Nature Emerald Dragon immediately halted its gathering of Nature Element Mana, consequently canceling the Nature Dragon\'s Roar. It then muttered, "Oh, that simple? Hmmm... I was only asking what you are doing here in my territory?"

"Eh?" Elvis instantly opened his eyes after realizing that he was spared. Not wanting to waste the chance and repeat the same mistake again, he quickly responded, "I... I am only mapping out the entire central region of the Emerald Forest, great and honorable Dragon, sir," 

"You can simply call me, Neldrac, short for Nature Emerald Dragon," The Beast King Nature Emerald Dragon introduced itself. 

"Ah yes, sir Neldrac," Elvis replied, as he also added, "And this lowly person\'s name is Elvis,"

"Elvis? Hmmm... Until this day, I am still left wondering why you people from the Elf race always like to start your name with the letter \'E\'?" Neldrac can\'t help but asked in curiosity. 

"That is because it is part of the culture of the Elf race to have our names start with the letter \'E\', just like the name of our race," Elvis explained. 

"I know about that since the Orc race also has their names start with letter\'  O\'(#letter \'O\', the Dwarf race have their names start with letter \'D\', the Goblin race has their names start with letter \'G\', and so on and so forth. But why can\'t all of you just be similar to the Human race? They can basically have names starting on whatever letters their parents could come up with. Your race is very complicated, if you ask me," Neldrac expressed his own opinion.

"I... I also want to know why we, the Elf race, are very strict with that, sir Neldrac," Elvis was also curious about why their names always have to start with the letter \'E\'. But he has no possible way of knowing the answer yet since the existence of the Elf race in the Celestial World has long been very unclear for the majority of the Elves. Some say that our race have existed for centuries, but others also say that they have been transported here for many millennia ago.

"Anyways, we are totally getting sidetracked here," Neldrac returned back to the main topic. He continued, "You said that you are here to create a map of the entire central region of the Emerald Forest, which I am assuming was the given name of my territory from that arrogant City Lord Elfin. Well, I can easily confirm that since this cave practically has tens of pieces of maps scattered all over the place. Only people working as Cartographers will have such behaviors," 

"But I wonder, why are you exactly doing this?" All of a sudden, Neldrac\'s face turned solemn, before he added, "Is it perhaps because the Emerald Tree Kingdom has become really greedy for power and richest. Hence they want to expand their territory farther to my place and ignore the warnings I have given to your ancestors in the past?"

"Ah! No! It is absolutely not the case, sir Neldrac!" Elvis hurriedly defended the Emerald Tree Kingdom in fear that Neldrac will really come to attack it. At this moment, the territory is still recovering from the destruction caused by the Naughty Elves organization. If ever a Dragon suddenly comes and attacks them, then without a doubt it would be the end of the Emerald Tree Kingdom. 

"Oh, I thought that was the case, since I have long heard some reports from my loyal subjects that the Emerald Tree Kingdom has invented the Emerald Event and Emerald Elven Battle Competition. It has seriously caused a lot of deaths in my territory, especially to the Magical Beasts living in this place," Neldrac paused before ending his line with a warning, "Even though both events don\'t concern me that much just yet, but once the people in the Emerald Tree Kingdom steps out of the line, then I will surely make all of you remember the terror that I once brought to your Kingdom in the past," 

Elvis couldn\'t help but gulped down a mouthful of saliva after hearing Neldrac\'s threat. He was truly afraid of Neldrac attacking the Emerald Tree Kingdom.. Just like what he had mentioned before, there is absolutely no possible chance for them to survive if ever that really becomes a reality.
