Manor Lord of the Elf World

Chapter 115 Merchant's Goods

Zach and his group walked blankly down the wide street.

As they walked, they gazed at the harmonious yet eerie scene around them.

Mawile, who moves timber with humans; Snowcap Monster, who chases and plays with children; Lily Root Doll, who leisurely sunbathes on the street; Cocodora and Swablu, who patrol with knights; and many Bean Pigeons that land on the rooftops...

It seems that monsters can be seen everywhere.

Compared to when they last visited, this place has undergone tremendous changes.

What surprised Zack even more was that this territory seemed to pay great attention to the survival of magical beasts, because there were still many grassy areas and trees full of natural charm between the town's streets for the magical beasts to stay in, just like a park.

The monsters did not harm humans. Even when they saw these strangers, they showed no hostility. Instead, they smiled at them in a friendly manner.

These scenes continuously challenged the understanding of Zack and others.

At this moment, a sense of confusion inevitably arose in everyone's hearts.

When did the relationship between humans and monsters become so close?

"Boss, look over there!" one of his men said, pointing to a shop.

Zach turned his head and saw a shop with a picture of honey on its sign.

Zack couldn't help but step forward and ask, "What kind of things do you sell here?"

The shop owner was a woman in her thirties. She looked at the people who had come in front of her and asked with a smile, "Are you from out of town?"

Zach nodded.

"No wonder!" the woman said with a smile. "This is all honey, honey made by a magical beast called the Three-Bee. Its taste and quality far surpass ordinary honey!"

Three bees...?
Zach froze on the spot.

As far as he knew, it was a magical beast that specialized in collecting nectar.

Their honey is highly nutritious and tastes better.

Therefore, in some places, some people have tried to raise those magical beasts, but these three bees would rather die than submit, and even if they are kept in captivity, they will never collect nectar.

Later, it was discovered that there is a queen in the three-bee colony, and the three bees only obey the queen's commands.

Once separated from the queen, they refuse to collect honey.

Later, someone tried to capture the queen as well, but was met with fierce resistance from the entire Three Bees colony.

Some people have even lost their lives because of this.

And how did the people here manage to make the three honeybees and their queen obey?
Thinking this, Zack couldn't help but ask on the spot.

A smile appeared on the woman's face: "His Highness Raven taught us all of this! His Highness Raven believes that magical beasts can coexist with humans. At first, no one really believed it, but now... we can't live without magical beasts!"

"Hey! Warcraft are so scary, aren't you afraid?" one of Zach's men couldn't help but ask.

"His Highness Raven said that as long as you treat magical beasts with sincerity, they will definitely reciprocate with the same sincerity. I used to think they were scary, but now I think magical beasts are actually quite cute!"

The woman beckoned, and a budding flower hopped onto the counter. She looked at the crowd and said:
"Look! What an adorable magical beast! Prince Raven is truly amazing!"

His subordinate looked completely bewildered.

Treating Warcraft with such care sounds incredibly unbelievable, doesn't it?
Those monsters are so terrifying that you'll be attacked just by encountering them, and in more serious cases, you might even lose your life.

If it weren't for the pressures of life, he would have loved to stay in the city forever and never see Warcraft again!
Unlike his subordinates, Zach looked thoughtful upon hearing these words.

As a businessman, he keenly sensed a business opportunity.

Honey made by the mythical beast Three Bees is a highly sought-after item among royalty and nobility.

They viewed this rare and hard-to-obtain product as a symbol of status and prestige. If they could source the sweet treats from here and sell them elsewhere, they could certainly make a fortune!
However, there was one more thing they needed to do before that.

Zach recalled the man he had met before, the master of this territory, Raven.

He had to go and meet the other party.

Just then, Zach saw a person dressed as a knight pass by.

He quickly stepped forward and introduced himself, "Greetings, sir. I am Zach, a merchant who visited here once before. Lord Raven bought some things from us last time, and I have brought them over with me now!"

Upon hearing this, Geralt sized up the group of people in front of him.

He paused for a moment, then said, "Come with me!"

“Yes!” Zack told the rest of the caravan to wait there, while he went alone with Geralt to meet Prince Raven.

After traversing the streets, the two soon arrived at the center of the town.

That was the city hall where Raven and his colleagues handled official business.

Taxation, real estate transactions in the town, and shop rentals all take place here.

The concept of a town hall was proposed by Raven. Although it is somewhat out of step with the times, the castle is not yet completed, and having such a place would make it much more convenient to handle official business on a daily basis.

When Geralt arrived with Zac, Raven was also touring the place under Erief's guidance.

“Your Highness Raven, a foreigner claiming to be a merchant wishes to see you!” Geralt bowed before speaking.

merchant?

Upon hearing this, Raven immediately understood what was going on.

"Let him in!"

Soon, Zach walked in respectfully from outside.

He looked at Raven sitting behind the desk, bowed, and said respectfully, "My lord, I have brought the livestock and slaves you requested, as you instructed!"

"Oh?" Raven immediately became interested: "Take me to see it!"

"Yes!"

Led by Zach, Raven soon encountered many familiar, ordinary animals.

Ordinary dairy cows, ordinary cattle, ordinary sheep, ordinary pigs, and ordinary chickens produce milk.

On the other side stood more than twenty Pokémon with their hands and feet bound.

Raven glanced at them and saw that there were about 8 Machokes, 4 Porters, and 8 Repairmen.

At this moment, these Pokémon were huddled together, their eyes numb and empty, and their bodies covered with scars left from not receiving timely treatment.

The young transporters huddled fearfully behind the old construction worker, looking around in terror.

Raven watched this scene thoughtfully.

Clearly, these Pokémon were previously slaves.

In this era, slaves could be bought and sold at will.

“My lord, these are all the magical beasts you requested!” Zack introduced from the side, “These magical beasts are called Maul. They are very strong and can easily move things that humans cannot move.”

"These are veteran construction workers. The concrete they make is incredibly strong. In some big cities, they are experts at building city walls!"

"These little magical beasts are porters. Although they are not very strong, they can help the old craftsmen on construction sites."
