Manor Lord of the Elf World

Chapter 81 Medieval Poké Ball
The construction of the brick kiln took time, and in order not to affect the lives of the people in the territory, Raven specifically chose a vacant lot on the outskirts of the territory as the construction site.

The workers began construction using the previously fired bricks.

The medieval brick kilns were not much different from the brick kilns Raven remembered; they were mainly divided into three parts.

The first part is the main kiln, which has an arched space inside to accommodate brick blanks. The second part is the ventilation system, which includes air inlets and smoke exhaust ducts. The third part is the chimney, which is used to guide the hot airflow.

Building a brick kiln takes a considerable amount of time, but with the help of those two powerful kilns, the time required was greatly reduced, and it was completed in just a few days.

The workers piled the shaped clay bricks into the mixture, then added plenty of coal as fuel. Finally, at the command of the blacksmith Morrick, the Exploding Ape unleashed a jet of flame at the coal.

The raging flames quickly ignited the coal.

As the temperature inside the brick kiln continued to rise, the damp clay bricks turned reddish-brown and hardened at a visible speed.

Soon, the first batch of clay bricks produced after the kiln was built was officially fired.

Hao Li and the workers worked together to move the beautifully fired bricks to the open space outside.

Then, the construction workers in the territory would transport these bricks away to pave roads and build houses.

Thanks to everyone's joint efforts, this territory is undergoing tremendous changes.

Buildings rose from the ground, and the original dirt paths were transformed into neat and beautiful red brick roads.

However, this is only a small part of the city's construction. Even with the help of Pokémon, it will probably take several months for the town to be fully completed.

But that's enough.

Raven sat in the lord's hall, his eyes closed, pondering the various affairs within the territory.

The jars for brewing tree juice are ready, the fruit trees in the orchards are growing, the miners are working hard to mine, the farmers are toiling in the fields, and the construction workers are building towns for everyone.

Under Raven's leadership, all aspects of this territory are developing steadily.

"The crops in the fields can be harvested tomorrow, and then the food problem will be solved."

"As for poultry, some villagers have caught pheasants from the forest and brought them back to raise, so there is no shortage of eggs and chicken for the time being."

"But the source of meat such as pork and beef is still a problem..." Raven pondered.

At least in this area of ​​the wild, they have not yet found any trace of ordinary pigs, cattle, or sheep.

"I can send someone to the villages down there to buy a few cubs to raise," Raven thought.

As for eating Pokémon...

Perhaps some people in this era would eat the flesh of Pokémon, but Raven couldn't do that, and besides, such a thing would contradict the town he wanted to create.

Living alongside Pokémon while eating their flesh, what would those Pokémon living among humans think?
Raven felt it was necessary to enact a law.

—Eating Warcraft is prohibited.

He summoned Elif and put him in charge of the matter.

Having received his new assignment, Elif hurriedly left the house.

Shortly after he left, the blacksmith Morrick arrived with something.

"Your Highness Raven, I have completed the task you assigned me!"

As he spoke, Morric held up what appeared to be a Poké Ball.

Raven reached out and took it, carefully examining the "Poké Ball" in his hand.

It's called a Poké Ball, but it's actually just a regular berry cut in half and then fitted with a fixed metal ring and buckle to make it look like a Poké Ball.

But does this thing really have the ability to capture Pokémon?
Raven held the Poké Ball and tried to aim it at the Dratini beside him.

But the Poké Ball didn't react at all. "Huh?" Seeing Raven's actions, Dratini was momentarily confused. It looked at the round ball in front of it with some doubt, and then looked at Raven.

"Your Highness Raven?" Morrick was slightly taken aback, also somewhat puzzled.

"Is it not possible?" Raven looked at the Poké Ball in his hand thoughtfully, then said to Dratini, "Dratini, try to see if you can get in here by shrinking down."

He remembered that the developer of the modern Poké Ball was a Pokémon professor named Mori Nishino.

During a study on the anger energy of Infernal monkeys, the doctor made a mistake in the dosage, causing the monkeys to become weak.

Surprisingly, the weakened Inferno Monkey's body began to shrink and hid inside the professor's glasses case.

This incident also demonstrates that Pokémon have a habit of shrinking their bodies and seeking small, secluded places when they are in a weakened state.

This means that a Poké Ball is ultimately just a container; any Pokémon can enter it whenever it wants.

"Woo..."

Dratini blinked at the Poké Ball in front of it, and the next second, its body turned into a red light and actively entered the Poké Ball.

Upon seeing this, Morric's pupils contracted, and an expression of utter astonishment appeared on his face.

That... that monster went inside the fruit!

After a brief moment of surprise, Raven couldn't help but think to himself, "I knew it."

But soon, the Dratini came out on its own, looking pitifully at Raven.

Raven understood its meaning in an instant.

Staying inside will make the dwarf dragon feel uncomfortable!
After all, these are ancient Poké Balls, and their workmanship and other aspects are very rough, far from being as exquisite as modern Poké Balls, let alone deluxe balls.

Raven patted the Dratini's head to comfort it.

He then made several more attempts.

Before long, Raven came to several conclusions.

First, this type of Poké Ball does not have the automatic bounce function of modern Poké Balls.

Second, these Poké Balls cannot be used to catch Pokémon. As long as the Pokémon wants to run away, it can simply run away. They cannot be trapped at all.

Rather than being a Poké Ball, it's more like a container made using the characteristic of Pokémon shrinking and hiding when they are extremely weak, much like the glasses case that Primeape hides in.

This Poké Ball is not complete.

“It seems there are still many other things missing,” Raven murmured.

Meanwhile, Moric was completely stunned.

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

How did a monster with such a large body manage to squeeze into such a small cone? Wouldn't that cone get burst?

This...this is simply impossible, right?

Raven smiled and said, "This is something I read in an ancient book when I was in the royal city. The book said that the bodies of magical beasts can shrink under certain special circumstances."

"So, if this thing can be manufactured, we can let magical beasts enter it, making it more convenient to carry when going out."

“It’s actually possible…” Morric murmured.

Warcraft is such an amazing creature!
