Manor Lord of the Elf World

Chapter 202 The Hero Aaron

"Your Majesty, you have done very well."

Seeing the worried look on Raven's face, Elif couldn't help but comfort him.

In fact, countless ancient kingdoms have existed on this land, and none of their rulers were better than their emperors.

Hearing this, Raven shook his head slightly: "I'm just a little worried that my actions might be a bit premature."

Perhaps he should wait a few more years, until the public has a deeper understanding of Pokémon, before officially promoting the trainer culture.

That's enough, there's no use thinking about it now!

What they need to do is move forward steadfastly.

After finishing his official duties, Raven turned his attention to his lord panel.

After these days of development, his people have provided him with a great deal of satisfaction.

These satisfaction levels can unlock several new technologies.

With a slight thought, Raven automatically unfolded the technology tree before his eyes.

What comes into view is a long list of technologies waiting to be unlocked.

[Steamship: Unlocks the theory and methods for constructing giant seagoing vessels powered by steam engines, providing a tool for ocean voyages and trade. Required for exchange: 15 satisfaction points.]

[Pokémon Nutrition: Unlocks technologies such as Energy Cubes, Poffins, and Pokémon Special Foods that better provide nutrition and dietary needs for Pokémon. Requires 10 Satisfaction Points.]

[Bicycle: Unlock bicycle production methods. Required for redemption: 5 satisfaction points.]

【…】

Looking at these new technologies, Raven couldn't help but be amazed. The unlocking conditions for these technologies were getting more and more expensive as time went on!
However, it's understandable.

After all, with the unification of the kingdom, the population of his territory will surge, and the satisfaction it can provide for him will also increase significantly.

If it weren't for the lack of manpower and resources, Raven felt that he could even have carried out a second industrial revolution within thirty years, producing electric lights and telephones.

"Forget it, let's focus on the immediate matter first!" Raven thought to himself.

With a slight thought, the three technologies crucial to the kingdom were unlocked before him.

Steamships, powered by steam engines, are able to support large ships on long-distance ocean voyages.

This will not only bring new people to the Unova region, but also greatly develop the region's commerce and trade, allowing them to sell their products all over the world.

The money earned can then be used to support the overall development of the Unova region.

More importantly, with this giant ship, Raven can officially explore the outside world and introduce Pokémon from other regions that can bring greater convenience to human life.

Pokémon nutrition can fill the gaps and deficiencies in the current Pokémon food.

Similarly, properly prepared food can provide Pokémon with the balanced nutrition they need, allowing them to grow better.

As for bicycles...

Raven's expression was somewhat strange.

A bicycle is a mode of transportation that can bring great convenience to short trips, but it also has a drawback: it is easy to break.

Just like in the anime, Ash broke Misty's bicycle.

However, this means of transportation is better than nothing, and perhaps certain groups of people will need it.

After the exchange was completed, all the information about these technologies flooded into Raven's mind.

He spent some time transferring them to paper, and then had Elif hand over the operating theory and production method of the giant ship to the Royal Workshop, so that they could build a shipyard to produce the steam trains simultaneously.

The notes containing various Pokémon nutritional recipes were sent to the Pokémon Association, which then promoted and popularized them free of charge.

However, these alone were not enough, and Raven fell into deep thought.

He alone cannot do it. Humanity possesses boundless wisdom and inspiration. He should encourage ordinary people to invent and create things that are useful to this era and to the development of humanity.

Just like the paintings created by artists, a true golden age should be like their works, where a hundred flowers bloom.

*
Meanwhile, ten kilometers away from Feiyun City, a small wooden sailboat was slowly sailing on the rippling sea.

The sky was a clear blue, the clouds were white, the sea was a deep blue, and occasionally a few big-billed gulls could be seen flying by.

On the sails of that sailboat were prominently displayed intricate patterns representing the royal family emblem of the city of Orudron.

Without a doubt, this is a sailboat from the distant Kanto region.

The sailors and boatmen, dressed in linen robes, observed the distant sea and could vaguely see the outline of a continent at the horizon.

A sailor on the ship entered the cabin and respectfully addressed the figure inside:
"Lord Aaron, we are almost at the Kingdom of Eindooc!"

Upon hearing this, the man inside stood up, walked out of the cabin, and stood on the deck gazing at the distant scenery.

The man was dressed in a blue outfit with a black cloak draped over his back, a mysterious hat on his head, and a scepter with a jewel-encrusted top in his hand.

Beside the man stood a bipedal Pokémon that resembled a wolf, with a majestic appearance and black and blue fur.

“Lucario, we’ll be at our destination soon,” said the hero Aaron.

Lucario nodded slightly.

A year ago, they heard news of a war that had broken out across the entire kingdom of Eindooc.

Queen Lynn of Orudron and the old king were pen pals who were quite close and frequently corresponded with each other.

Upon hearing of the outbreak of war, Queen Lynn was very worried about the safety of the old king, so she sent the hero Aaron to Eindook to check the situation.

However, what worries Aaron even more is Queen Lynn.

The situation in Orudron City has been rather unstable lately. The king of the neighboring country has repeatedly provoked them, and it may not be long before war breaks out in Orudron City.

"Once we've confirmed the situation in Eindook, we'll immediately return to Orudron City." Gazing at the distant land, Aaron made this decision in his heart.

The weather was very pleasant today, and with the sea breeze blowing, the ship soon arrived at the port of Feiyun City.

Aaron had been to this place twice before.

They need to transit here before continuing their journey to the capital of Eindook, the location of the Earth Sword Castle.

Yalang still retains some memories of Feiyun City.

It was not much different from other cities. Here, classes were clearly defined, with slaves, commoners, nobles, merchants, and lords forming a complete circle, living together in this huge city.

However, as soon as he got off the ship today, Alan sensed that something was wrong.

Lucario, standing nearby, also keenly sensed something amiss. It immediately began to warily survey its surroundings, even using the aura power within its body to probe. Aaron hesitated for a moment, then looked up.

He quickly understood the source of that strangeness.

Ports, docks, fishermen, cargo handlers... they are all busy here.

At first glance, everything seemed unchanged, but compared to when Aaron and his group last came here, there were many more magical beasts in the city!

On the wooden planks of the dock, several children were feeding breadcrumbs to the long-winged gulls circling in the sky.

Beside the sailboat, several magpies and the dockworkers were carrying cargo unloaded from the ship.

Near the shore, several boys who were excellent swimmers were playing with some starfish in the flowing water.

What... this is?!

Alan was quite surprised.

As a monster wielder, Aaron is well aware of the fear that some common people have of monsters.

In fact, he was not originally a Beastmaster.

He was originally a knight and Aura user living on Rota Street in the city of Ordron. Because he could use Aura power, he later met Lucario.

During their long training period, Aaron and Lucario grew closer and closer, becoming like friends.

Aaron also began to use his Aura and Lucario's powers to travel around and help those in need.

But apart from him, the vast majority of people were terrified of the existence of monsters.

But now...

Looking at the strange scene around him, Alan couldn't help but show a look of astonishment.

There's something strange about this city!
However, Aaron quickly calmed down.

He continued onward with Lucario, leaving the docks and entering the city.

Their journey with the magical beasts did not cause much of a stir; the surrounding crowd merely glanced at them before looking away.

But the perceptive Aaron and Lucario sensed a hint of envy, longing, and respect in those gazes...

What surprised Aaron and Lucario even more was that not only at the dock, but throughout the entire Flying Cloud City, monsters could be seen everywhere!
The fragrant ape helps sell bread in the bakery.

The ladies led Hayok on a stroll through the streets.

A boy running through the streets with his Growlithe.

And some lily root dolls leisurely basking in the sun in the flower beds by the roadside.

Aaron even saw several shops that specialize in grooming, combing, and bathing Warcraft characters!
While the customers waited, the shop's staff gently washed the fur of a cherub with warm water.

On the other side, a tidy pig was using its flames to dry the wet fur of a little Yorkshire Terrier that had just taken a bath.

Upon seeing this, Yalang was stunned.

Not only him, but Lucario was also stunned.

In a corner unknown to him, what exactly happened in this place?
However, as a monster user, Aaron quickly calmed down. He found an old man resting on a roadside bench and asked him:

"Hello, may I ask what happened in this place... Feiyun City? Why have so many magical beasts suddenly appeared?"

"Warcraft?" The old man was surprised to hear this, then his face lit up with realization: "Oh, you're from out of town, aren't you?"

Aaron nodded slightly: "That's right, Lucario and I are travelers who came from other places by sailboat."

"From the sea? That's quite a distance!" The old man was slightly surprised, then smiled and said, "They're not called monsters anymore! His Majesty Raven renamed them; these cute little guys are now all called Pokémon!"

Pokémon? Aaron was somewhat taken aback: "Your Majesty Raven?"

“That’s right!” The old man’s eyes lit up with fervor: “His Majesty Raven not only stopped the war, but also abolished slavery, and taught us how to use the power of Pokémon to live on this land.”

"Haha, it's really amazing now that I think about it. These Pokémon don't seem so scary after all. I don't know why we were so afraid of them before."

Aaron fell silent.

Raven... if he remembers correctly, he is the youngest of the three princes of the Kingdom of Eindooc.

However, what puzzled Alan was that, despite it being a war between the eldest and second princes, why did the third prince ultimately emerge victorious?
He calmly asked the old man in front of him about the questions that were on his mind.

The elderly man answered each question one by one.

Chosen by the dragon Kyurem, he single-handedly stopped the great war on the Flying Cloud Plains, unified the kingdom, abolished slavery, taught his people to use the power of Pokémon, and ordered the fertile god Landorus to help make the land more fertile, so that no one on this land would ever go hungry again...

Not only that, that person also founded a newspaper, distributing it nationwide, and created Pokémon flying taxis, enabling people to travel quickly between two places by flying taxi.

One unbelievable thing after another was slowly recounted from the old man's mouth.

The more Aaron listened, the more silent he became.

"Haha, you must be wondering where an old man like me would know all this, right?" The old man seemed to see the doubt in Alan's mind and said with a smile, "It's all from the newspapers!"

Yalang: "..."

If all of this is true, then the Kingdom of Eindooc is likely to undergo a dramatic change.

As a Beastmaster, Aaron intends to see with his own eyes.

He thanked the old man and then went straight to the Flying Pokémon Taxi Company located in Flying Cloud City.

After paying the fare, they quickly boarded a flying taxi bound for Eindooc.

Aaron and Lucario sat in the small carriage, each of them looking out at the scene through the transparent glass window in disbelief.

They...really flew in the sky!
Eindook has actually used the power of magical beasts to this extent!

The speed of the Pokémon flying taxi exceeded Aaron's expectations.

Before they could even react, they had already arrived at Eindook.

Following the route they remembered, Aaron and Lucario arrived at the Earth Sword Castle. They showed the castle guards the items that proved their identity as envoys, and were then granted entry into the castle.

Led by the guards, the man and his Pokémon quickly arrived before the old king.

“Your Majesty!” Aaron greeted the king with a standard knightly salute.

However, the old king smiled and shook his head at this title:

“I am no longer the king. My son Raven has done a far better job than I have. You have seen it, haven’t you? Under his rule, this country has undergone earth-shattering changes.”
