Manor Lord of the Elf World

Chapter 34 Messenger Bird

"Oh?" Raven raised an eyebrow, looking at Cleveland with some surprise. "What is it?"

Cleveland said in a deep voice, "Your Highness, I encountered two very special magical beasts on the snowy mountain!"

When Cleveland mentioned the mysterious creature that had guided him, his face was filled with longing and anticipation.

"...At that time, just when I thought I was going to die, He appeared."

"I don't know if it's a magical beast. It has beautiful blue feathers, and its wings shine like ice crystals in the sunlight. When it appears, the snowflakes in the air are frozen."

"He saved me and showed me the way out of the snow mountain..."

If possible, Cleveland would love to see him again.

Upon hearing Cleveland's description, Raven couldn't help but feel a question mark appear above his head.

Hmm? This description... could it be the legendary Pokémon Articuno?
As far as he knew, Articuno was a Pokémon that lived in secluded places such as the top of snow-capped mountains, where it would guard those mountains.

Legend has it that if travelers stray into the snow-capped mountains, lose their way, and face mortal danger, arthropods will appear before them, pointing them in the right direction and leading them to safety.

"I never expected that there would be an Articulated Bird living on that snow mountain, and it seems to be guarding it," Raven thought to himself.

This is indeed surprising news.

"I understand." Raven kept this in mind.

"Also, after leaving the guidance of that mysterious creature, I encountered a very special magical beast..."

As Cleveland recalled those events, he said:
"At that time, I was so hungry that I had no strength left. That monster... uh, it was like Santa Claus, it descended in front of me with a white package in its hand, and took out two fruits from it and gave them to me."

"Thanks to those two fruits, I had the strength to keep going and meet the search and rescue team."

Santa Claus? Or a monster carrying a white package?
Upon hearing these two adjectives, the image of a Pokémon instantly flashed into Raven's mind.

Messenger bird!
The Delibird is a very special Pokémon. It uses its wrapper-shaped tail to store food and carries it back to its nest all day long.

This Pokémon has a very special habit.

They will proactively share the food they find with humans and Pokémon.

In that distant future, the Pokédex related to Delibird clearly recorded this information.

If someone is trapped in the mountains, the messenger bird will share some of its food to help them. Many people who have been in danger in the snowy mountains have been saved thanks to the food provided by the messenger bird.

Upon hearing Cleveland's words, Ryan and Christina couldn't help but show expressions of curiosity.

"There are actually magical beasts like this?"

"Your Highness Raven, do you know what kind of magical beast that is?" Christina couldn't help but ask.

Raven replied, "If I'm not mistaken, that magical beast's name should be Messenger Bird."

"A messenger bird?" The three were slightly taken aback.

“Hmm.” Raven nodded and continued, “Some of the books in the Royal Library record such magical beasts. They have the habit of sharing food with other creatures and will actively share their food with humans and magical beasts who are lost in the snow mountains.”

"Wow!" Christina exclaimed, "How amazing!"

“Messenger bird…” Cleveland murmured the name, silently memorizing it.

If I encounter this monster again in the future, I'll have to thank it properly.

"Alright, that's enough for today!" Raven looked at the three of them and said, "You three have worked hard. Now, take a good rest and let your injuries heal!"

"Yes!"

Ryan and the other two took their leave one after another.

The old butler, Elif, who had listened to the whole thing, couldn't help but sigh:

"I never imagined that such magical beasts existed in this world... I never had the chance to learn about these things before when I was in the royal city." "I only realized after I came out that this world is much bigger than I imagined. Our kingdom of Eindooc is just a small corner of it. I've heard that there are many countries and many lands overseas. I really want to see them with my own eyes!" Raven couldn't help but feel a sense of longing.

The World Tree of the Kanto region.

Mount Hakugin in the Johto region.

The Meteorite People culture of the Hoenn region.

The creation myth of the Sinnoh region.

Super Evolution in the Carlos region.

The sword and shield hero of the Galar region.

And the paradoxical Pokémon of the Padina region...

Seeing Raven's appearance, Elif couldn't help but say, "Your Highness is still young, you will definitely have opportunities in the future."

"That will probably take a very, very long time," Raven couldn't help but sigh.

They are currently facing a very serious survival crisis and simply cannot spare the mind to think about those things.

Raven could only turn his gaze to the Dratini beside him and poked its big nose with his hand.

"Mini Dragon, you need to grow up quickly, okay? That way we can go out and see the world together."

"Woo!" The mini dragon perked up, its little face full of seriousness; it wanted to grow up quickly!
The final evolution of Dratini, Dragonite, possesses an incredibly high speed.

It is said that Dragonite can fly around the Earth in just 16 hours.

When the time comes, he will hand over the territory to Elef to guard, and he and the Dratini will sneak off to play in other areas.

Seeing His Highness's attitude, Elif couldn't help but chuckle.

Alas, in the end, His Highness is only a sixteen-year-old child.

Your Highness could have lived a happy life in the royal city, but now you are forced to grow up and lead everyone to survive here.

However, this situation is good news for Your Highness!
Even before they left, the situation in the royal city had already begun to stir.

Who knows when the eldest and second princes might start a war over the throne?

Throughout history, the victor has always been king, and the loser is always villain. Your Highness's situation in the royal city will only become more and more dangerous.

Sigh! The old butler looked at His Highness teasing the miniature dragon and couldn't help but sigh, hoping that day would never come!

"Phew! I don't want to think about that anymore, I need to get down to business!"

Raven straightened up and opened the book that Christina had just given him.

The first page records information about teapots.

Turning to the next page reveals a little bird Pokémon with fluffy wings like cotton clouds.

Christina made the following annotation below.

[Bold and unafraid of people, it will land on people's shoulders and heads; its feathers feel as fluffy and soft as cotton.]

"This is..." The name of this Pokémon came to Raven's mind.

Swabbit is a normal Flying-type Pokémon, but after evolving into Altaria, it becomes a Dragon-type Flying-type Pokémon.

Because its appearance is nothing like a dragon, and its attribute changes to "fairy" after super evolution, which is effective against dragons, Altaria is often called a traitor to the dragon race.

However... the first thing Raven thought of when he saw this Pokémon wasn't its strength, but rather that its fluffy, soft feathers could probably be used to make mattresses and pillows, which would be very comfortable to sleep on.
