"Oh, then what kind of question, then?" Evangelion immediately asked after hearing Leo\'s reply with a slight proudness of himself on his face. Him being a 5 Star Mage and having a junior asking him a question was indeed worthy of being proud of, at least in his case with his character of being like everyone\'s model person.

"You already knew about my trump card, right?" Leo asked as he wanted to confirm first. He doesn\'t want Evangelion to suddenly treat him as someone evil like Madam Silva the moment after he summoned the Elemental, nor does he want to reveal his trump card casually to someone who doesn\'t know about it.

"Don\'t worry, Madam Silva already told me..." Evangelion said as he gulped down a mouthful of saliva due to excitement.

What really happened was, after Evangelion was informed by Madam Silva that Leo can actually summon Elementals, he immediately felt excited about seeing it for himself.

Well, who on Celestial World doesn\'t even want to see a powerful Magical Entity, such as the Elementals, up close for themselves, right?

So, Evangelion was long hoping for such a day like this to come.

Leo breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Evangelion\'s reply before he finally summoned his Earth Elemental.

Out of thin air, a body that somewhat looked like those of Humans but entirely made out rocks slowly formed in front of Evangelion, making him even more excited.

"Wow!" Evangelion can\'t help but gasp in amusement. Looking at the Earth Elemental closely was indeed so marvelous, just like what Madam Silva had expressed to him before.

"Ehem!" Evangelion quickly fixed himself as he continued, "What question-related to this do you want to ask me about? I\'ll inform you first, I\'m not a professional when it comes to Elementals. My knowledge is pretty much base on books and other people\'s stories. So, you\'re free to ignore my words."

"That\'s okay, I\'m not asking something hard anyways. Do you perhaps know of any way to disguise my Earth Elemental?" Leo finally said his real intention.

"Oh..." Evangelion said while observing the Earth Elemental from left to right, and its every edge and inches. He continued, "I might only know a bit about Magical Beast and Magical Entity, such as the Elemental. But, I can suggest something like this easily for you, wait here!"

Evangelion quickly went to some shelves in the deep part of the study room to look for that specific book that will solve Leo\'s problem.

After a while, Evangelion finally came back while holding an old book as he said, "This book is something that discusses a lot about Magical Entities. Naturally, it includes information about the Elementals, but that isn\'t the most important thing here..."

Evangelion immediately started flipping through the book as soon as he put it on the study table, "This is the most important!" He pointed towards a specific picture.

"Golems!!" Leo quickly understood what Evangelion really wanted to say.

Golems were Magical Entities. They were made out entirely of rocks like those of the Earth Elementals, so they can indeed become a really good disguise. Moreover, unlike Earth Elementals, Golems weren\'t unique and a lot of Mages, specifically those who can\'t afford to invest in Magical Knights, use them as their protectors.

Indeed, it was called protectors. Like those Mages that Leo had met beforehand, Mages were really too weak. They can easily be killed despite being powerful and having a unique ability to be able to use Magic spell. He had even killed tens of them already easily despite just being a beginner Mage.

It wasn\'t because the Mages were weak, really, but because of the lack of powerful protection. When casting, Mages defense becomes vulnerable, hence they can easily be killed, such as shooting a bow or swiftly arriving in front of them to launch a direct attack.

So, Mages needed to have protectors in order to compensate for this obvious weakness, such as Magical Knights or Golems.

Unlike those rich Mages though, that was born from Noble Households, or those Mages with powerful capability, hence easily earning money. Mages that were born poor and incapable of earning money easily tend to compensate for their weakness by relying on Golems.

Magical Knights were Humans, so they could only become strong by giving them resources that have Magical properties. Such resources though needed a lot of money in order to have. Moreover, as Mages themselves, they also needed such Magical resources too.

So, Mages that were born poor don\'t have any other choice anymore aside from looking for another way to cover up their weakness, and that searching eventually leads the Mages to the invention of the Golems.

Although Golems weren\'t as powerful as the Magical Knights, neither do they have the capability to think on their own, but still, such a Magical Entity was enough for the poor Mages to cover up their weakness.

"Yep, Golems! You just need to turn your Earth Elementals into those of Golems. By doing so, no one that hasn\'t seen your Earth Elementals would be able to suspect them as being Earth Elementals." Evangelion immediately explained as he then continued, "The only flaw though would be your Earth Elemental should not act like it has any intellect or the capability to think on their own to successfully disguise them..."

Evangelion suddenly shook his head to express his pity soon after.

It was indeed a pity. Elementals were powerful Magical Entities simply because they have the capability to think on their own. Removing this capability would result in something like those of Golems, they can be destroyed easily because their power has been greatly reduced.

Anything capable of thinking, living, or non-living, are automatically deemed as powerful. No matter how weak their strength was, if cultivated and used well, they would eventually become a powerful tool or Magical Beast, that are capable of turning the tides of the battle with their capability to adjust and make their own decisions.

"Oh, that isn\'t a problem! I could just simply order them, so my Elementals could basically still be able to hide that they have the capability to think on their own." Leo said.

"Unfortunately, you still can\'t..." Evangelion replied as he continued, "Golems don\'t have any brain, hence they could only follow their Master\'s specific order. Simply put, if you order your Golem to punch, it will only punch towards the target you choose. Once its target successfully dodges that punch, the Golem wouldn\'t be able to follow up another attack towards the target in order to correct their error. The Golems will just remain still and wait for another order. The only way is, one way is to constantly sent out orders after orders to successfully land a punch towards your target, which would then deem the Mage\'s ability to cast magic spells useless."

Mage\'s uniqueness was their ability to cast magic spells. If they became busy sending out orders after orders to their Golems, then that ability to cast magic spells would obviously have no use anymore, since they don\'t have any time to construct any Magic circles to attack on their own.

Those Mages who have Golems might as well just give up on being Mages and instead hone their capability to analyze enemy\'s actions and make countermeasures as quick as possible in order for their Golems to land an attack, right?

"You\'re right... Then how?" Leo can\'t help but ask. Since Golems had such a flaw, then obviously he can\'t use that. After all, his Elementals have their own consciousness. The moment he sent out an order, they would be able to adapt if ever the situation changes on their own, which by then would obviously easily reveal the difference between his Earth Elementals and those of Golems.

However, since Evangelion thought about the Golems, then obviously he should have something else that will help him solve this problem.

"Fortunately, you have Madam Silva and me, as your backer..." Evangelion said as he suddenly turned the page of the book to the next page as he pointed at a picture, "This is called Command Crystal, a Magical Tool. It is made out of the unique Memory ore as its core and arrays to save commands embedded to its two bodies. This Command Crystal would allow its user to set auto commands that will then allow the Golems to automatically make countermeasures the moment the first order didn\'t become successful. Hence, the Mages don\'t get disrupted all the time, and at the same time the Golem could finally fully serve its purpose!"

"So you mean... I just need to wear a Command Crystal and make it looked like I had set up multiple commands inside, in order for my Golems to seemingly make countermeasures, but in truth, the Golems were actually acting on their own!" Leo said feeling really excited.

With this discovery, he would now be able to use his Earth Elementals out in the open and with no trouble coming to him later on.

"Thank you!" Leo exclaimed in excitement as he can\'t help but hug Evangelion to express his gratefulness.

The information that Evangelion gave to him could pretty much solve the problem that he had long been carrying; how to use his Elementals without worrying about being discovered and hence turning into a lab rat right after?

Finally, he has the solution to that now.

Although the Golem could only disguise the Earth Elemental, that is still considered as the first step for him to finally be able to use his Elementals openly.. A day would surely come where he can finally summon his Elementals without worrying about being discovered.
