Manor Lord of the Elf World

Chapter 119 The Arrival of Victini
Immediately afterwards, a small figure flew in from outside the door.

It was a small Pokémon that looked somewhat like a mouse and had a pair of huge V-shaped ears.

That's... a Victini?!

Raven's pupils contracted slightly, and a look of astonishment appeared on his face.

Before he could figure out what was going on, the Victini was already in front of him.

"Nini~!"

Victini's face was full of joy after a long separation. It opened its little arms and hugged Raven affectionately, rubbing its cheek against Raven's face.

Upon seeing the Victini's actions, Raven was slightly taken aback, and a memory from the past immediately surfaced in his mind.

From the moment he was born, Victini was always by his side. Victini watched him grow up and often took him to play around the castle.

Those are the original owner's memories.

Upon seeing Victini, Raven fell silent for a moment.

The original owner of this body has passed away. If he hadn't transmigrated, Raven's existence would have left no record in history.

Well then, he is now "Raven". Since he has transmigrated to this place, he naturally has to fulfill the duties of the original owner.

Raven sighed inwardly, but a look of surprise appeared on his face:
"Victini, what are you doing here?!"

Victini smiled happily, then closed her eyes, waved her fingers, and acted like a little adult.

"Nini, Nini!" Of course I'm worried about you, so I came to check on you!

However, Bictini soon couldn't help but reveal her original lively, cheerful, innocent, and adorable self.

"Nini!" It's so great to see Raven again!

Raven reached out and patted Victini's head. Although he couldn't understand Victini's words, from its expression and tone, it was clear that Victini was very happy to see him again.

Raven said softly, "Yes, I'm also very happy to see you. But Victini, how is Father doing?"

“Nini…” Bictini’s face fell as he spoke of the old king.

The eldest and second princes are about to start a war. The old king has been placed under house arrest in the castle by them, and they have stripped him of his power...

Seeing Bictini's appearance, Raven roughly guessed that the old king's current situation was probably not good.

If he hadn't arrived, the story would probably have unfolded as it does in the anime.

The struggle between the two princes caused the dragon veins to go out of control. The old king lost his life trying to quell the out-of-control dragon veins, and Victini will be trapped in Eindook for thousands of years.

His appearance has now introduced a twist to everything.

“Don’t worry, Father will be alright,” Raven comforted him. “After a while, I’ll see if I can go to the capital and bring Father here.”

For example, once Dragonair evolves into Dragonite, they can quickly travel between Eindoark and Raven City.

“Nini!” Victini trusted Raven unconditionally, letting out a happy cry. Then, as if suddenly remembering something, it pulled out a letter from behind its back and handed it over: “Nini.”

"A letter from my father?" Raven reached out and took it.

“Nini!” Bictini nodded repeatedly.

Raven opened the envelope and took out the folded letter.

[To Raven:]
My child, how have you been? Seeing what you've been through, my heart is filled with dread. Raven, my child, you've grown up! You are now qualified to be a king... However, your elder brothers will likely launch a war soon, and your situation will surely become extremely difficult. You must hide well and never appear before them! I have used the last of my power to secretly send you over a thousand commoners and slaves. From this day forward, you are their king.

Besides these people, I also sent you many things that you might need.

Manpower, tools, food, seeds, workers, magical beasts... you can ask the court lady Rowling for details.

I think you've seen Victini by now, haven't you? Don't worry, my child, Victini will stay with you in my place; it will protect you.

After reading the letter, Raven felt incredibly conflicted.

The old king actually sent Bictini to be his bodyguard...

“Nini?” Victini leaned closer to the letter, seemingly wanting to see what was written inside.

“My father said he sent you to protect my safety,” Raven explained.

Upon hearing this, Victini immediately patted her chest with her little hands and exclaimed happily, "Nini!"

That's right! It will protect Raven's safety!

"Alright, Victini, you must be tired after such a long journey. Eat something first, then get some rest!"

As Raven spoke, he gestured to the maid to prepare food, remembering that Bictini's favorite food was cookies.

Before long, the maid came over with a glass of tree juice and a plate of cookies.

"Nini!"

Upon seeing his favorite food, Bictini immediately began to happily devour it.

While Bictini was eating, Raven had Elif summon Lorraine, the court lady mentioned in the old king's letter.

Before long, a woman dressed in a long robe, with long hair, wearing black-rimmed glasses, and exuding an intellectual aura, walked in from outside, led by Elif.

Rowling, the court lady mentioned in the letter, was now looking at the kingdom's third prince with slight surprise.

In fact, before coming here, Rowling had already heard about Prince Raven's ordeal from His Majesty.

She had assumed this would be a small village, since clearing land with just a few people would be extremely difficult.

But everything here was completely beyond her expectations.

Prince Raven not only led those people through the blizzard and established a new home here, but also governed this place in an orderly manner, and even utilized the power of magical beasts in an unprecedented way...

"Your Highness." Rowling stopped her wandering thoughts and bowed to Raven.

“Get up!” Raven said. “I have received Father’s letter. I want to know the details of your group.”

"Yes!" Rowling organized her thoughts for a moment before slowly saying, "Currently, we have a total of 856 people who have successfully arrived in the territory, including several knights, civilians, farmers, scholars, blacksmiths, carpenters, and slaves. In addition, there are about 150 magical beasts used for work, bringing the total number to about 1,000."

A thousand people... that is indeed a very large number for the current territory, Raven pondered.

Rowling continued, "By order of His Majesty, we have also brought many tools, including several farm implements, picks, shovels, and so on."

"There are also plenty of easily stored foods, such as wine, cheese, ham, bacon, dried fruit, bread, tea, and so on."

"In addition to these, there are many crop seeds for cultivation, including crops suitable for planting in various seasons, such as wheat, rice, turnips, carrots and other vegetables and fruits."
