Manor Lord of the Elf World

Chapter 114 News of Kyurem
“Besides that, there is one more thing I need to report to you,” Elif added.

"Oh?" Raven looked up.

"Recently, the civilians in the territory have been influenced by you and Megan and the others, and they have also begun to actively contact monsters."

"So far, in addition to Megan's Gyarados Ranch, several other ranches specializing in raising magical beasts have been opened around the territory. Those people asked Anna to help them find magical beasts to raise."

"Their targets are mostly magical beasts like the Three Bees, Mare the Sheep, Lily Root Doll, Four Seasons Deer, Sprout Deer, Cotton Ball, and Potpot. Some farmers also hire gophers and three-gophers to till the fields using food to improve their farming," Elif reported slowly.

Hearing these words, Raven wasn't too surprised.

The wool of the Mare sheep, the leaves of the lily root doll, the tea leaves of the Four Seasons Deer, the cotton of the cotton ball, the sap of the potpot tree, and the honey of the three bees are all very useful items for humans.

Those people were considered very intelligent; they could see the benefits that Pokémon could bring to humans. When the benefits outweighed the drawbacks, these residents would begin to actively approach wild Pokémon.

All of this was within Raven's expectations.

These are all necessary for this territory.

Because the ranches and farms surrounding the territory supply the daily needs of the entire territory.

Raven glanced at the panel showing a whopping 123 Pokémon subjects.

But the story doesn't end there.

Some clever residents even used their savings to buy shops and started selling items made by Pokémon.

In addition to these shops, clever people in the territory also began to run inns, restaurants, barbershops and other similar businesses.

“The systems I mentioned before can now be gradually implemented,” Raven said.

For example, implementing a tax system more favorable to ordinary people, distributing land to farmers, and strongly encouraging ordinary people to raise Pokémon to trade with merchants, thereby promoting commercial development.

In addition, Raven plans to search for some gentle, easy-to-train, and friendly unhatched Pokémon eggs to give to the children under ten years old in his territory.

Although they can't play a significant role now, these children who become trainers will play a major role in the development of the entire territory in the future.

"Yes, Your Highness!" Upon hearing this, Elif nodded, keeping the matter in mind, and prepared to carry it out later.

Just then, a voice suddenly came from outside.

Is Prince Raven here?

It's Evan's voice!

He's back from Kagome Village!

Raven was pleasantly surprised and quickly called the person over, asking, "How did it go?"

"Fortunately, I live up to my fate!"

After several days of eating and sleeping outdoors, Evan looked quite disheveled, but his eyes were extremely bright.

"Your Highness, I have obtained information about Kyurem from the locals!"

"Say it quickly!"

Evan then slowly began to recount his experiences on this trip.

At that time, after leaving his territory, he went directly to Kagome Village.

After a long journey of nearly a week, he arrived safely at the village, a small village with only a dozen or so households. They were very friendly to Evan, the lost traveler, and warmly welcomed him.

Evan received a message from the locals.

It is said that decades ago, a huge meteorite fell from the sky into the nearby mountains.

A ferocious and terrifying beast lives inside the meteorite. That beast appears in the village at night, accompanied by a cold wind, snatching away people and monsters and devouring them.

To prevent this from happening, the villagers built a wall around Kagome Village. In addition, the local village chief established a rule that forbids villagers from going out at night and requires them to stay at home.

The locals named the man-eating beast Kyurem.

Kyurem lives in a cave called Giant's Cave near Kagome Village. It is said that the cave was formed by a meteorite, but because Kyurem eats people, the local villagers dare not go near the cave.

"It's said that a few years ago, someone approached the Giant's Cave, and a terrible disaster befell him. Since then, the local villagers have never seen him again!" Evan said with some fear. "I didn't dare go near that cave..."

After hearing this, Raven was completely stunned.

No way? Kyurem really eats people?
But that shouldn't be the case... Kyurem is so powerful, if it wanted to eat people, it could just run into the village and eat everyone, there's no need for it to specifically choose the night and specifically eat people who have left the house.

After all, it's a legendary Pokémon; a human house simply can't stop it.

The veracity of this rumor remains to be confirmed.

The good news is that he has finally located Kyurem, and all he needs to do now is take some time to go there and make contact with him.

"You've worked hard, Evan. Now you should get some rest," Raven said.

Evan nodded, but as he looked at Raven, a surprising thought suddenly popped into his mind.

Your Highness—could it be that he plans to subdue that monster named Kyurem in the same way he subdued the Green Vine Serpent?

At the same time, in Raven City, the caravan led by Zack stared in astonishment at the clean and tidy red brick streets and the rows of houses lining both sides of the road.

Wait! What's that? Are those monsters running around in the street? And there's more than one!
The merchants stood frozen in place, watching the snow-hatted monsters running alongside the children.

That's an incredibly dangerous wild magical beast!
Are they seeing things?
But the next second, everyone saw a group of knights in armor and carrying swords walking neatly down the street, seemingly on patrol.

This wouldn't have been a problem in itself, but a large group of magical beasts were following the knights... It seemed like those beasts were patrolling with them.

What... what on earth is going on?!
"Boss, we're not in the wrong place, are we?!" one of the subordinates couldn't help but ask.

Zack was also completely bewildered; he had seen humans and monsters walking together before.

However, those magical beasts are often equipped with chains and anklets to prevent them from going berserk.

But... why do these monsters look so happy?
"Boss, look! There's a magical beast wiping the little girl's sweat!" another subordinate suddenly exclaimed.

Zach turned his head and saw Zoroark wiping the sweat off Anna's face with a handkerchief.

After wiping her sweat, Anna took a berry out of her bag and handed it to Zoroark, who then happily ate it.

This seemingly ordinary scene stirred up a huge uproar in the hearts of Zach and his group.

That little girl... could she be the esteemed Beastmaster?
But what about those knights and children just now?

Are all the people in this place monster tamers?

The scene before them was completely beyond the comprehension of Zack and the others.

This town is strange!
