Manor Lord of the Elf World

Chapter 112 Czechrom and Rehiram

Flying Cloud City, in the southern part of the Unova region.

Inside a huge, luxurious castle, a man of about twenty-five years old, dressed in magnificent robes, sat on the throne.

He was handsome with deep-set features, thick, sword-like eyebrows, and sharp eyes, giving him an air of arrogance and dominance.

If Elif were here, he would recognize the man at a glance as Lando, the eldest prince of the Kingdom of Eindooc.

Beneath the throne, two rows of ministers stood ramrod straight, while a middle-aged man dressed in magnificent court attire reported to him on the recent recruitment efforts.

"Your Highness, in the past month, we have recruited a total of 100,000 soldiers from various places. Combined with the previous army and the monster legion, our current military strength is 200,000!"

"Hmm." Lando nodded slightly. He pondered for a moment and asked, "Haven't you found my dear younger brother yet?"

The minister hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and said, "According to our spies, His Highness the Third Prince does not seem to have gone to Feiyun Territory..."

Upon hearing this, Lando closed his eyes.

He didn't want any other destabilizing factors in this war.

He originally planned to find his third brother, put him under house arrest, and then, after the war ended and he unified the kingdom, bestow a title upon him, allowing him to live out his life peacefully there...

A moment later, Lando opened his eyes again and said to everyone, "You may all step back!"

"Yes!"

The ministers seemed somewhat intimidated by the king; they bowed and then withdrew from the palace.

Lando was left alone on the throne, lost in thought with his eyes closed.

And just then, that voice resurfaced in his mind once again.

"Do you have the awareness to seek your ideal?"

It's that voice again.

Lando suddenly opened his eyes. He got up and returned to his bedchamber, where a jet-black stone was emitting a faint glow.

"What exactly are you?" Lando asked.

“I am the dragon of ideals, Zekrom,” the voice replied.

“Czechrom?” Lando frowned, seemingly having never heard of the name before.

He had been able to hear this strange voice for a long time, and it had been asking him in his mind what his ideal was.

When he left the royal city, Lando brought it with him.

After that, the stone remained silent for a long time, but unexpectedly it made a sound again today.

"Tell me, what is your ideal?" the voice rang out again.

There it is again.

Lando raised the corners of his mouth. If he had been hesitant before, now he could reply with absolute certainty:

"My ideal is to unify the entire kingdom, seize the throne, use the power of magical beasts to build a powerful nation, and then conquer this continent!"

Unfortunately, his foolish second brother actually thought the monsters were pitiful.

When monsters hurt and kill people, are they ever pitiful?
The monster possesses immense power, and this power should be put to its own use!
Humanity can only achieve better development by making good use of the power of monsters!

Upon hearing this answer, the voice fell silent for a moment.

After a long while, a dazzling light burst forth from the dark stone.

As a magnetic voice rang out, a dark figure slowly emerged from it.

"I will fulfill your dreams!"

*
In the northern part of the Unova region, within a magnificent castle.

A young man with long white hair, pale skin, handsome face, and a hint of pity in his eyes was looking at the white stone.

"Stop the exploitation of magical beasts, liberate all enslaved magical beasts, release them back into the wild, and establish a kingdom that belongs only to us humans. This is my truth."

The second prince, Lance, responded softly to the white stone's question.

He grew up in the royal city. Unlike ordinary people, he had encountered many kind and gentle magical beasts when he was young. He was even saved by a magical beast during a wild adventure.

This experience made Lance unable to stand by and watch those poor magical beasts be ruthlessly enslaved by humans.

How pitiful they are!

Even without monsters, humanity can build a prosperous and thriving nation through its own strength.

Therefore, he had to stop his brother; only by taking that position could he change everything!
The second prince, Lance, had a determined look in his eyes.

His belief reached the white stone.

The next second, a gentle voice rang out from the depths of his heart.

"Is this your true self? I sense it. If so, then I will realize your true self for you!"

In the white light, a holy and gentle figure slowly emerged.

It was another bright and sunny morning, and early in the morning, the residents of the territory began their busy day. Children played hand in hand with their Pokémon partners within the territory.

The knights, accompanied by Cocodora and the Blue Swallow, began their new day's training in the open space.

A group of Fire-type Pokémon, including Apatomina and Darmanitan, went to the brick kiln to help light the fire and fire the bricks.

Loggers went to the forest to cut down trees.

The workers and Haoli went to the town and continued to build new homes for everyone.

Meanwhile, some skilled weavers wove the wool sent from the Gyarados Ranch into carpets and clothing.

In the fields, farmers work diligently among the lush green crops.

The three ground squirrels also came out from underground to freeload.

The farmers looked worried.

As the scale of the fields gradually expands, these few people are already starting to find it difficult to keep up with the workload.

Just then, someone suddenly noticed a figure appearing in the sky.

"Look! What's that?" a farmer said, pointing to the sky.

The others looked closely and quickly recognized the figure.

"That's Prince Raven's magical beast!"

The slender magical beast flew over the field, twisting its light body. In an instant, dark clouds gathered in the once clear sky.

Then, a light drizzle began to fall, nourishing the fields below.

The farmers who witnessed this scene couldn't help but show expressions of utter shock.

It's raining!
what on earth is it?

Is it the power of that monster?
Okay, so awesome!

Changing the weather at will is something only a god who controls the weather can do, right?
This miraculous sight prompted some farmers to bow in worship. If they hadn't known beforehand that the magical beast belonged to Prince Raven, they probably would have already offered tributes to the lake where he lived.

In mid-air, Hakron looked at his masterpiece with great satisfaction.

It was very happy because it could finally help!
After finishing this task, Hakron twisted its body and flew towards its territory. It quickly flew to a wooden house and slipped inside through the window.

Raven was sitting at his desk reviewing Elif's report when he saw Hakron enter. He smiled and asked:

"Busy working?"

Hakron nodded gently: "Woo~"

"Thank you for your hard work." Raven gently patted Hakron's head.

Seeing this, the burning insects nearby immediately nudged over, wanting to touch it as well.

Raven naturally wouldn't refuse. He then looked at the Green Vine Snake beside him and asked it with his eyes if it wanted to be petted.

The Green Vine Snake immediately turned its head away haughtily.

But when Raven looked away, it couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

But the next second, the Green Vine Snake suddenly saw Raven get up and walk over, handing it a grapefruit and patting its head.

The Green Vine Snake paused for a moment, then turned its head away haughtily.

Hmph, it doesn't need that!

Despite its words, the Green Vine Snake still happily ate the pomelo fruit.

"Go play!" Raven shooed away the jealous Hakron who was arguing with the Burning Bugs, then sat alone at his desk, pondering what to do next.

Building a powerful Bossdora army requires a large amount of metal resources.

There are only two ways to obtain metal resources.

One method is manual mining, and the other is trading with other cities.

However, this is not realistic at present, because the territory is surrounded by small villages and towns of average size.

In that case, the only remaining option is manual mining.

However, relying solely on manual labor is still too slow.

Raven couldn't help but glance at his technology panel, realizing that they were still some distance away from transitioning from the agricultural to the industrial age.

The condition for entering the industrial age was the unlocking of steam engine technology.

"Unfortunately, the satisfaction rate is still too low..."

Raven couldn't help but think how nice it would be if they had a MeloMeta.

This Pokémon can produce large quantities of iron, so it can be used directly as a caretaker for Cocodora.
