Manor Lord of the Elf World

Chapter 126 Town Completed!

"Your Highness Raven, what's going on here?!"

The strange phenomenon caused by the Dragon Star Cluster quickly attracted the attention of the patrolling knights.

Geralt happened to be among them, and out of concern for Raven's safety, he quickly ran over to check on the situation.

"It's nothing, it's just that Hakuryu has just learned a powerful new move." Raven chuckled and patted Hakuryu's head.

New move?
The two young knights behind Geralt couldn't help but swallow hard as they looked at the huge craters around them, which had been smashed by some terrible thing.

What kind of move would it take to smash the ground like that?
Today's special training has come to a successful conclusion. To celebrate the evolution of Serperior, Raven specially had several of its favorite foods prepared.

Several Pokémon sat around the dining table, happily enjoying their meal.

Raven paid special attention to the Serpent Lord.

Although the Monarch Serpent lost its hands and feet after evolution, it learned to use its vines to get food without being taught, and its posture was noble and elegant.

The Serpent Lord noticed Raven's gaze and turned to look at him.

Raven smiled and shook his head, saying, "It's alright, you guys take your time eating. Elif needs to see me about something, I'm going to my study to handle some official business."

The group of Pokémon enjoying their dinner had no objections.

Raven left the restaurant to the Pokémon and went to his study alone, where Elif was already waiting.

Upon seeing Raven approach, he said, "Your Highness Raven, as you predicted, with the help of those powerful figures and veteran builders, our town has been fully completed!"

"Not only that, our craftsmen also used the concrete made by the old craftsmen to build a bridge across that great river, connecting the two banks!"

Upon hearing this, Raven nodded, inwardly exclaiming, "Finally!"

As he spoke, Eriff placed a map of the town on the table.

"This is a town map that Miss Christina drew for you."

Raven looked down and saw that the various areas of the town were clearly marked.

Raven City has been developing outwards from its city hall, with the town center mainly consisting of residential areas, commercial areas, military barracks, parks, squares, and leisure areas.

Places such as brick kilns, farmland, pastures, and orchards surround the town in a ring.

Thanks to Raven and Elena's advanced design concepts.

The town still retains many facilities such as gardens, trees, and lawns, which are both beautiful and provide habitats for some Pokémon.

Of course, what pleased Raven the most was the town's underground water system.

With the help of the three gophers and the screw gophers, the workers dug out a very advanced drainage system beneath the town.

The town is divided into two parts.

Part of it is where they are currently located, on the east side of the great river.

The other part is on the plain on the opposite bank of the river, and the two areas are connected by a bridge.

“Those people who came from the royal city have also gradually moved into these new residences. Our town is currently expected to be able to accommodate five thousand people,” Elif said.

"Not bad!" Raven took a deep breath. Now it was up to these commoners to develop on their own.

As far as he knew, after spending these days together, some eligible men and women in the territory had developed very deep feelings for each other.

Some have even held simple weddings and moved in together with their parents in attendance.

He believed that a new life would soon be born within the territory. Overall, Raven was very satisfied.

Elif, standing to the side, looked hesitant and asked, "Your Highness, shall we build city walls?"

When the war spread to this place, without the city walls, the armies of the eldest and second princes would have easily trampled the entire town.

Raven was also aware of this problem.

After all, we are still in the backward Middle Ages, and wars between humans still rely on cold weapons.

In such situations, a sturdy city wall can often play a vital role.

There is a related wall technology in the technology tree, but Raven has never used it.

“In that case, let them begin construction,” Raven said in a deep voice.

“Understood. I will give the order to have the construction team continue building the castle and walls.” Elif nodded.

Raven fell into deep thought.

His two older brothers started recruiting soldiers last month, and now it seems that war will probably break out soon.

There is not much time left for them.

After a moment of contemplation, Raven said, "Elif, I may have to leave the territory for a while."

Upon hearing this, Elif froze on the spot.

"Your Highness... what's wrong?!"

"I wonder if you've ever heard of the legend of the Dragon God?" Raven asked Elif.

"Dragon God?" Elif looked puzzled.

Raven hummed in agreement and said, "The Dragon God is a powerful magical beast. One day, it suddenly split into two, becoming two different dragon magical beasts. They are extremely powerful; one of them can easily destroy a country. Moreover, they will assist the person they approve of to ascend the throne."

"As far as I know, my eldest and second eldest brothers have already gained the approval of these two dragon-like magical beasts... so our current strength is not enough."

Elif immediately recalled the secret he had heard in the royal city: the eldest and second princes had received help from a mysterious power!

"Your Highness..." Elif opened his mouth, wondering what they should do if those two dragon-like magical beasts were really that powerful.
“Don’t worry, Elif. As far as I know, that legend is missing a part. It’s incomplete. In the real legend, there is a third dragon in addition to the two dragons.”

“I started my investigation before leaving the royal city, and not long ago I finally found its trail. Kagome Village is where it lives. Only by gaining the dragon’s approval can we truly have the power to fight against my older brothers,” Raven said in a deep voice.

Upon hearing this, Elif's eyes widened in surprise.

He immediately recalled the time His Highness had sent Evan out to investigate intelligence some time ago!
“I need at least a month. Before I leave, I will arrange the future development of the territory. At that time, everything will be in your hands,” Raven said.

With war potentially breaking out at any time, it's best for them to make contact with Kyurem as soon as possible.

Otherwise, if the kingdom's army were to besiege the city, it would be too late.

"Your Highness... Will there be any dangers along the way?" Elif asked with a worried expression.

Raven smiled and said, "No need to worry, Victini will go with me."

If all else fails, they can use Victini's superpowers to escape.

Elif didn't know what to say; he knew perfectly well that His Highness had made his decision.

The old steward opened his mouth, but finally uttered, "Your Highness, please be careful in everything you do!"
