Manor Lord of the Elf World

Chapter 11: The first wooden house is complete!

Zorua, the fox Pokémon, is extremely skilled at using illusions to confuse its opponents.

Wild Zorua can transform into humans or other Pokémon to protect themselves from danger by hiding their true form.

In certain special circumstances, Zoroah can even transform into the exact same appearance as his opponent and escape while the opponent is still in shock and frightened.

However, this Zoroa's illusion abilities are clearly not very proficient.

In the blink of an eye, it reverted to its original form as Zoroya.

It's back to normal!

Anna opened her eyes wide, her big eyes filled with curiosity.

However, just then, Anna suddenly saw that Zorua's expression became tense. It lowered its body, assumed a defensive posture again, and let out a series of threatening growls.

Upon seeing this, Anna was slightly taken aback, then looked at the magical beast in disbelief, thinking to herself: No way? Hey! I'm the one who saved you!

Suddenly, a chill swept over them from behind, and a massive shadow enveloped the person and their Pokémon.

Anna then belatedly realized that the monster wasn't roaring at her, but that an enemy was approaching!

Realizing this, Anna turned around abruptly.

A magical beast nearly three meters tall, covered in a thick layer of white fur, appeared behind them without them noticing.

It's Warcraft!
"Roar~ Woo!"

The tundra bear roared and swung its terrifying claws, which instantly tore through Anna's cotton coat.

pain……

Anna felt a sharp pain as her adrenaline surged. She instinctively picked up Zoroya and ran forward as fast as she could.

"Hoohoho!"

Upon seeing its prey about to escape, the tundra bear let out an angry roar and quickly gave chase.

The forest was covered in snow in winter. Although the snow had stopped, the once soft snow had become hard and smooth after being blown by the north wind.

Anna slipped, and the next second, she and Zoroya in her arms tumbled forward rapidly.

"Ah ah ah ah ah!"

"Ugh——!"

The person and their Pokémon looked ahead with terrified expressions.

At the end of this road, there is a dangerous cliff!

Anna felt a sharp pain all over her body, and then she lost consciousness.

Building a log cabin is an extremely tedious and complex task.

After the carpenter Tucker explained the process, Raven gained a general understanding of how to build a log cabin for protection against the cold.

First, choose a flat and suitable terrain, prioritizing locations with deep snow layers and stable conditions due to wind and snow to ensure a sufficiently stable foundation.

Tucker circled the area and quickly found a suitable spot.

In just one morning, thanks to everyone's joint efforts, a considerable number of trees had been felled.

These trees were carried from the forest by strong men, and then some makeshift carpenters with tools trimmed off the excess branches.

Next, it was time to officially build the wooden house.

To reduce material waste and enhance insulation, Tucker adopted a dome-like design similar to an igloo, fixing the logs together with mortise and tenon joints.

Finally, fill the gaps in the wooden house with materials such as snow, logs, soil, and fallen leaves from the forest to prevent cold wind from seeping in.

No one wanted to die, so when faced with a severe survival crisis, everyone unleashed amazing potential, building cabins with astonishing efficiency. With the cooperation of dozens of people, the first cabin for warmth was built in just one day.

At night, people light a fire in the cabin, and the warm firelight illuminates the whole room. Above the flames hangs a pot, in which a fragrant bowl of oatmeal porridge is simmering.

The gaps between the pieces of wood were filled in so tightly that no matter how the biting cold wind howled outside, there was never a trace of cold air inside.

Those who witnessed this scene showed expressions of excitement and a glimmer of hope in their hearts.

This simple little wooden hut gave them a glimmer of hope in their desperate situation!

If they work together, every family can get a cabin like this and safely get through the cold winter!
Seeing that the cabin had worked, Raven didn't show it on his face, but he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

"Fortunately, the log cabin is working. As long as we continue, we should be able to safely get through this winter."

"You've all worked hard. Go home and get some rest tonight, and keep up the good work tomorrow!" Raven said to everyone.

People smiled and responded, "Yes, Your Highness Raven!"

Raven smiled and prepared to go back to rest with the Mini Dragon.

However, as soon as he stepped out, he saw a woman running towards him anxiously.

When the woman saw him, it was as if she had seen some hope, and she quickly pleaded:
"Your Highness Raven, my daughter Anna is missing! Please save her!"

Anna… Raven vaguely remembered her; she was the ten-year-old girl who led the response during his speech.

“What happened? Tell me slowly,” Raven said calmly.

The woman sobbed as she answered, "This afternoon, Anna returned to the tent from Doctor Lila's. She was reading there and everything was fine. I went to the toilet, and when I came back, I found she was gone."

"At first, I thought she had gone out to play, but Anna didn't come back even when it got dark... Your Highness Raven, please, help me find Anna!"

Her husband died on the way here, leaving her with only her daughter in the world. Now that Anna is missing, Ellie feels like her world is collapsing.

"Ryan, go investigate around the tent."

After understanding the situation, Raven calmly gave instructions to his personal guard knights.

"Yes, Your Highness Raven!"

Ryan didn't ask any more questions and turned to carry out his mission.

Raven then checked Anna's situation through the territory panel.

[Commoner's Name: Anna]

[Age: 10 years old]

[Occupation: None]

[Special ability: none]

Loyalty: 99 (maximum 100)

[Life Background: Anna was born in the 138th year of the Kingdom's calendar.]

In the year 148 of the Kingdom's calendar, Anna and her mother accompanied Prince Raven to his fiefdom.

Anna's name has not disappeared, which means that she is still alive.

Looking at the weeping woman in front of him, Raven comforted her, "Don't worry, I will do my best."

At this moment, Ryan also returned and immediately reported:

"Your Highness Raven, we've found a trail of footprints leading into the depths of the forest behind the tent!"
