Manor Lord of the Elf World

Chapter 57: Farmland
In battle, the [Tillage] move might not be very useful.

However, if used in places like farmland, forests, or gardens, its effect far exceeds that of a hundred Destruction Rays.

After clearing the wasteland, the three-legged ground squirrel looked somewhat dejected.

Clearly, using the tactic of tilling the land is also very physically demanding for them.

"Your Highness Raven, what exactly is going on with this magical beast?!"

It took a long time for one knight to recover from the shock caused by the three groundhogs. Looking at the soft farmland in front of him, he couldn't help but ask Prince Raven, who knew the most about magical beasts in the territory.

Upon hearing this, several farmers nearby couldn't help but cast their gazes at Raven.

They were even more shocked than the rest of the Knights.

Because the scene before them was far beyond their comprehension.

The land that would take them several days to cultivate, this monster finished in no time?!

“This is the power of this magical beast.” Under everyone’s gaze, Raven slowly explained, “I once saw books about it in the Royal Library.”

"Its name is Diglett, a magical beast that lives underground, and the move it uses is called [Tillage]."

Farmland connects with the earth, transmitting its own ground-attribute energy to the soil beneath its feet.

"If I remember correctly, crops grow faster and better when cultivated using this technique."

"Their orchard is settled now," Raven thought to himself.

"Such a thing actually happened..." The surrounding farmers and knights all cast curious glances at the three ground rats.

“That’s what makes Warcraft so amazing,” Raven said with a smile.

However, Raven only knew that tilling the land would make crops grow faster, but he didn't know exactly how much it would shorten the ripening time.

But it's probably not too exaggerated, after all, Dugtrio is just an ordinary, unremarkable Pokémon.

It is far inferior to the power possessed by some mythical beasts and divine beasts.

Shemi will immediately bloom flowers wherever she goes.

Land Cloud, the god of agriculture, replenishes the soil with nutrients, enabling crops to grow strong.

There's even the Brilliant King, which can make any plant ripen instantly with a mere wave of its hand.

However, it is sufficient for the current territory.

“Take good care of the three-legged hamster. I hope you can all continue to cultivate the fields and grow crops with it,” Raven said slowly.

Everyone was slightly taken aback, then quickly nodded and said, "Yes, Your Highness Raven!"

“Gopher, you’ll stay here and help out for the time being! As payment, we’ll provide you with food so you won’t go hungry.” Raven crouched down and said to Gopher, “I hope you can get along well with everyone.”

"Squeak..."

After Raven left, the farmers, each holding a hoe, looked at the monster called Three-Hole Rat in front of them, bewildered.

But now is not the time to be daydreaming.

Now that the new fields have been cultivated, they need to sow the seeds as soon as possible.

The farmers got busy.

The three ground squirrels stayed where they were, their round little eyes wide open, watching the bustling scene.

A moment later, in order to make up for the losses he had caused to these humans and to lessen his guilt, Dugtrio, having regained some strength, began using the [Till] move again.

The people in the surrounding fields were initially surprised to see the monster that had destroyed the farmland working so hard to till the land.

Even when it was very tired, it didn't stop.

This scene moved everyone present.

Prince Raven is right. This magical beast isn't evil; it destroyed the farmland simply because it was starving. And now, having learned the truth, the three gophers are working hard to make up for their losses…

At that moment, the farmers felt a greater sense of approval for the three-legged ground squirrel.

Once all the fields had been cultivated, several farmers came together to the panting ground squirrel.

"Squeak?" The three-legged voles looked up when they noticed several shadows above them.

The next second, it saw several cautiously smiling faces.

The smiling owner gently placed the water bottle and tree fruit in front of it.

"You must be starving after a busy morning, right? These are fruits that monsters can eat, eat up!"

The three ground squirrels were slightly taken aback.

"Squeak..."

After lunch, Raven was sitting in the tent in the lord's hall, pondering various matters within the territory.

Just then, the old butler Cliff walked in from outside, reporting with a look of astonishment on the progress at the farmland.

"Your Highness Raven! In just one morning, a large amount of arable land has been cleared from the farmland!"

“I know,” Raven said with a smile, “It’s the power of that three-legged rat, isn’t it?”

Upon seeing Raven's appearance, Elif immediately understood what had happened.

—His Highness has encountered a new magical beast, this time one that excels at farming.

"If I'm not mistaken, have all those crops been planted?" Raven asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Huh? How did Your Highness know?" Elif asked, somewhat surprised.

Raven smiled and said, "I know that magical beast. Its power is perfect for tilling the land."

Thinking about this, Raven couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

Pokémon are indeed the primary driving force in the Pokémon world!

A single dugong and a few farmers working together can achieve this; Raven couldn't even imagine what it would be like with more dugongs...

Raymond planned to ask the three gophers to help cultivate the fields near the orchard in the afternoon, and then they could bury the orchard seeds.

But after hearing Elif's words, Raven changed his mind.

The three mole hamsters have worked so hard; they must be exhausted by now.

Raven did not want to be a lord who exploited his people.

In that case, let's postpone the establishment of the orchard until tomorrow!
"Once the tree fruit seeds are planted, we can officially begin the special training for Snivy," Raven thought to himself.

Snivy's preferred moves are mostly special attacks, and mastering these types of moves requires a very high level of energy control from the Pokémon itself.

Whether it's Giga Drain, Energy Ball, or Leaf Storm... even a physical attack move like Leaf Blade requires the Pokémon to first condense energy into the shape of a leaf blade before it can attack.

Therefore, Raven plans to use the seeds of the planted tree fruit to give Snivy special training.

Let it use the grass-elemental energy within its body to care for crops, ripen seeds, and provide them with nutrients, thereby accelerating their growth.

This will not only improve Snivy's control over Grass-type energy, but also allow it to help take care of crops.

"Killing two birds with one stone," Raven couldn't help but think.

Just then, a sound full of surprise came from outside.

"Your Highness Raven! Come quickly and see what we've caught!"
