Manor Lord of the Elf World

Chapter 77 Target: Three Bees!

Kingdom borders?

Northern part of the Unova region?

Raven was slightly taken aback.

As far as he knew, Kagome Town and Giant's Cave were located in the northeast of the Unova region.

Doesn't this mean that the distance between them and the Giant's Cave is not actually as far as they imagined?

“I also heard from the villagers that every now and then, traveling merchants from other places would visit, bringing local specialties and daily necessities to trade with them,” Evan added.

Raven nodded thoughtfully.

In that case, they could also trade with the villages over there.

Traveling merchants have been to many places and must be very knowledgeable. Perhaps we can find out news about Kagome Town from them, Raven thought to himself.

But right now, business is more important.

Raven turned his gaze to Geralt, the mighty man who could defeat an entire pack of double-axe dragons with his mortal body.

"Geralt, I have a task for you."

"Your Highness, please speak."

“Go to the mines and protect the miners so they can go deeper into the mines to extract more ore,” Raven said.

“Yes, Your Highness!” Geralt gave a standard knightly salute.

“Erif, go and arrange the work for those new recruits. Have them help with mining, cutting down trees, or gathering fruit in the wild. We need to speed up the construction,” Raven said.

“Yes, Your Highness!” the old steward replied softly.

"Teacher, what about us?" Anna, who was holding Zoroya, asked expectantly.

They must have new tasks too, right?

"How's Zorroia's combat training going?" Raven asked.

Anna's face was full of fighting spirit: "We've defeated all those little pebbles on the mountain!"

Previously, when she and Zoroia were protecting the miners in the mine, Anna, bored, directed Zoroia to engage in battle after battle with the Geodude that lived nearby, eventually wiping out all the Geodude in the mine.

Raven: "..."

Judging from this, Anna and Zoroah have grown very quickly during this period, haven't they?
“In that case, I do have a new task for you,” Raven said.

"I guarantee I'll complete the mission!" Anna immediately straightened up and promised.

"I haven't even said what the mission is yet..."

As he spoke, Raven turned to the page with the Tribeca map that Christina had recorded and handed it to Anna.

"I need you and Zoroya to try to make contact with this magical beast."

Anna looked down and saw two magical beasts that looked like bees.

Below the two magical beasts, someone made a mark with a pen.

"Queen Bee" and "Three Honeybees".

"Huh? Three bees and the queen bee?" Anna read the two names aloud.

Raven nodded: "This is a social monster led by a queen bee. Its position in the colony is like that of a king among humans, and the three bees are its most loyal soldiers."

Anna's eyes widened, and she couldn't help but ask, "Teacher, are we going to find them and then defeat them?"

"I understand! This must be a test that the teacher gave her and Zoroya!" Anna's eyes lit up.

“…No.” Seeing Anna’s expression, Raven was speechless for a moment. After thinking for a moment, he explained, “It’s not about defeating them. I need you to approach them and build a good relationship with them.”

"Huh?" Anna was taken aback.

“The Tribeca Pokémon is extremely skilled at turning nectar into sweet honey. If they could join our territory, we could produce our own honey,” Raven explained.

Without the Queen Bee, the Tribeca Pokémon would be a very weak Pokémon in the Pokémon world.

In the wild forests, they are often driven away by greedy hunting butterflies, who then steal their nectar. The nectar that the three honeybees accumulate in their hive is also frequently and ruthlessly taken by Pokémon like Ursaring and Bear.

Even the gentleman moth will steal honey from the nest of sleeping honeybees in the dead of night, taking a share of the honey.

Upon hearing this, Anna immediately understood.

Build a good relationship with the three bees and the queen bee to join your territory! She can definitely do it!

"Everyone, I'm counting on you!" Raven said, looking at the crowd.

With the order given, Geralt and the others turned and left to carry out their mission.

The vast lord's hall suddenly emptied.

Raven leaned back in his seat and let out a long sigh of relief.

Building, gathering, logging, mining...

Now that the territory has a sufficient population, these projects can finally be carried out simultaneously.

However, that's not enough.

In addition to firing bricks, they also need to fire glass.

After all, what good house is without a beautiful and aesthetically pleasing glass window?

With that in mind, Raven opened the panel again and scanned the names on the citizen interface, trying to see if he could find any technical talents among them.

This way, you won't need to spend extra satisfaction points to unlock technology, and you should save as much as possible in the early stages of the game.

However, instead of finding the right person, he did see two unfamiliar names among the Pokémon people.

【Haoli】

Huh? Raven was a little surprised. Where did these two Machamp come from?

He immediately clicked on Haoli's name to check the other party's specific information.

Pokémon: Machoke

[Attribute: Fighting]

[Gender: Male]

[Feature: No defense]

[Moves: Bare-handed chop, glare, kick down, gather energy, low kick, ground throw]

[Friendliness: 0]

[Hosho's resume: In the 145th year of the Kingdom Calendar, Arm-Li was born.]

In the year 146 of the Kingdom Calendar, Arm-Strength was captured by humans, shackled, and forced to work for them.

In the year 147 of the Kingdom Calendar, Machop evolved into Machoke due to intense work. Long-term oppression had robbed Machoke of its will to resist, and even its evolution did not change the reality of its exploitation.

In the year 148 of the Kingdom's calendar, Hawley was dispatched to his fiefdom along with the third prince, Raven.

This is... Haoli?
The image of this Pokémon immediately flashed into Raven's mind.

Machamp, a muscular Pokémon, is extremely robust and would be considered a powerful creature in modern times, possessing both strong physique and endurance.

They were known for their great strength, and in that distant future, Machamp and its evolved form, Strength, often helped out at moving companies and construction sites.

Whether it's moving heavy luggage and furniture, or helping to move cement mixers and dump trucks on construction sites, they excel at it.

There are two Pokémon in the territory...

With Haoli's help, their construction progress can be further improved.

After all, there's currently no Pokémon more suitable for farming than Machamp in the territory.

However, these two Magnus have been exploited for so long, I wonder what their current situation is.

After a moment's thought, Raven decided to find them and observe them first.
