Manor Lord of the Elf World

Chapter 166 Reshiram's Visit (Two chapters combined)

The moment Sharon's eyes met the other person's, he immediately felt a strange tension.

Looking at that face that bore a resemblance to Prince Lance, at that moment, he was absolutely certain that the other person was none other than Prince Raven, the third prince of the Kingdom of Eindooc!
But what exactly is going on?

Shouldn't Prince Raven be in the royal city right now? Why is he here, and even established a territory in this place?
More importantly, as a member of the royal family, he actually thought about abolishing slavery. Wasn't that going against his ancestors?

What shocked Sharon even more was that Prince Raven, like Lando and Prince Lance, had also subdued the dragon.

Doesn't this mean that His Highness Raven also intends to get involved in the upcoming war?

For a moment, Xia Lun's mind was in turmoil, and the more he thought about it, the more horrified his expression became.

Eindook, the world is about to change!

Just then, the boy on the throne spoke.

"The lord of Twin Dragon Territory?"

Sharon heard the other person ask this question.

He nodded subconsciously: "Your Highness, it is indeed me!"

"What brings you here?" Raven asked.

“Because…” Sharon opened his mouth, he wanted to say that he wanted to see who dared to impersonate Prince Raven and make those decisions here, but he changed his words and said, “Because the newspapers and paper that Your Highness created have been spread to my territory, Twin Dragon Territory.”

Raven nodded slightly, deep in thought. In that case, his two older brothers would probably get the news soon.

Although he already possessed Kyurem, which allowed him to contend with them, he was still far inferior to his two older brothers in other aspects.

But now his territory is underpopulated, and progress has almost come to a standstill.

War was an inevitable trend, and for him, it was a good opportunity to expand the population.

Take in vagrants and homeless Pokémon, provide them with as much protection as possible, and incidentally send out Pokémon armies to turn against those Pokémon that have been forcibly conscripted to the battlefield.

Raven's mind was filled with thoughts. As a time traveler who had read history, he knew that he who wins the hearts of the people wins the world.

Once the war reaches its climax, he can raise the banner of "for the people and the monsters" and join in to stop the war.

At that time, his people will overwhelm any dissenting voices like a flood, and everything will fall into place naturally, ushering in a new era.

Reflecting on the events of the past few days, and the throne beneath his buttocks, Raven sighed with a sense of helplessness.

Even now, the people in his territory are already wanting him to wear the imperial robe!

“You’ve already seen it.” Raven looked down at Sharon.

Sharon thought to himself, "Yes, I see a completely new world I've never seen before. This territory is thriving under Prince Raven's rule. Although it's not large at the moment, I can already see its future."

But... compared to these, there was something else that terrified Sharon even more.

In this war, he has already chosen sides and opted to support the second prince, Lance.

Now, he has inexplicably come to the side of the Third Prince Raven. Judging from the current strength of the other party, his overall strength is definitely not comparable to that of Prince Lance.

In this situation, no one wants to be exposed.

Thinking of this, Xia Lun couldn't help but feel a little regretful. He shouldn't have come here so carelessly; he should have secretly sent someone to investigate.

However, just as Sharon was preparing himself for the fact that he could never go back, he heard the other person say:
"Now that you've finished watching, let's go back!"

Sharon was slightly stunned, and he could hardly believe it.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty?"

"Is there anything else?" Raven asked.

"No, that's all!" Sharon shook his head repeatedly, hesitated for a moment, and finally chose to take his leave. Then, with his butler, he hurriedly left Raven City and headed towards his territory.

“Your Highness, are we just going to let him go like this? What if Prince Lance finds out you’re here…” Elif’s face was full of worry.

“No need to worry.” Raven had already made up his mind: “My existence can no longer be hidden as the territory has developed. Sooner or later, this news will reach the ears of my eldest and second brothers. Besides… I also want to see them.”

He wanted to see what kind of people the Czechoslovakian and Lehiram had chosen for this era were like.

Elif paused for a moment, then nodded and said, "Yes, Your Highness."

Lei Wen thought his second brother Lance would receive the message some time later, but he never expected that the other party would arrive so quickly.

Two weeks later, just as Raven was inspecting the results of the soldiers' special training of Cocodora and Cotton Bird, he received a report from his subordinate that a man who called himself Lance had come to see His Highness!

When Raven arrived there, he saw a young man with long white hair, pale skin, handsome face, and gentle expression waiting for him not far away.

Behind the young man stood a white dragon, its body covered in soft, feather-like white fur, its face resembling a white wolf, and a pair of enormous white wings raised high on its back, looking graceful and agile.

That is Reshiram, the legendary Pokémon from mythology that can burn the world to ashes with its flames, the true dragon that is said to assist those who build the real world!

At that moment, Reshiram lowered his head and quietly observed Raven with his bright blue eyes.

Just then, as if sensing something from this human, the dragon couldn't help but pause slightly.

Not only Reshiram, Raven could also clearly feel that Kyurem, which he had placed in the Poké Ball, was also somewhat agitated.

It seems to want to absorb Reshiram's true power to fill the void in its body and transform into the Flame White Kyurem.

But Kyurem remained silent for a moment and did not do so.

Its character is upright and dignified, and it values ​​loyalty and righteousness. Such behavior is inconsistent with its nature and would make it look down upon by others.

Kyurem hopes to help Raven fight Reshiram, the human he serves, in a fair and square battle, defeat him honorably, and then reclaim that power.

With that thought in mind, Kyurem telepathically conveyed his thoughts to Raven.

Raven nodded slightly.

Meanwhile, Lance was also observing his third brother.

After a long while, a gentle smile appeared on his face, and he greeted them in a mild tone:
"Third brother, it's been a long time. You've grown quite a bit taller without us even noticing! I remember a few years ago, you were only this tall, and you would always pester me and the eldest brother to ask us about things outside."

Lance gestured with his hand to indicate his height, his face full of emotion.

He looked just like an older brother who had simply come to visit his younger brother.

This action startled Raven, who was momentarily at a loss for how to respond.

After a moment of silence, he invited, "Why don't you come to my place and sit for a while? It's almost noon, let's have lunch together?"

Raven took the other person back to his mansion and then ordered a maid to bring lunch.

Lance looked around the layout with great curiosity.

Then, to everyone's surprise, they saw many magical beasts in the room.

Dragonite, Serperior, Flamebug, Claydol, Victini, and Bubble Squirrel. When Lance saw Victini, even his usually gentle face showed a look of surprise.

"Nini?" Victini was startled when he saw Lance.

"Bictigini, long time no see!" Lance greeted Bictigini with a smile.

“Nini!” Victini blinked, then hesitated before responding.

"Is this your home? It looks impressive!" Lance looked around; traces of human and magical beast life could be seen everywhere in the room. "I never imagined you, Third Brother, would do something like this..."

“Victini is also a magical beast; I grew up with it since I was a child,” Raven reminded him.

“That’s true.” Lance glanced at the foam squirrel that was cleaning with its tail.

Just then, a maid brought in the food.

Raven invited Lance to sit down for a meal. The two ate in silence, neither of them speaking, and the atmosphere fell into an eerie silence.

There was a time when they also sat at a table like this to eat.

At that time, their father and mother were both alive, and the three brothers were still young. They would sit around the dining table and fight over the last chicken leg.

The eldest brother, Lando, was older and stronger, and he always domineeringly snatched the chicken leg away, leaving his two younger brothers to fight over it.

But he didn't eat, as if he was teasing his two younger brothers. Raven was made to cry by his older brother several times.

Back then, their father would always sternly say that as the older brothers, they should give the chicken leg to their younger brothers.

The Empress Dowager would always look at them gently, telling them not to fight over each other, saying that they were all brothers and should help each other.

But now… Lance thought back to the recent situation and sighed silently in his heart.

After a long silence, he suddenly spoke up: "I thought you were with my elder brother."

When the king sent his third brother to his fiefdom, that fiefdom was within the eldest brother's territory.

Lance had always believed that his third brother was being held under house arrest by his eldest brother.

Until a few days ago, he received the news from the lord of Twin Dragon Territory.

“Something went wrong along the way; we encountered a blizzard, and the convoy lost its way,” Raven explained. “After that, I led the remaining people to build a new home in this place.”

“You should have come to me. After all, I’m still your brother,” Lance sighed.

Raven was not the original owner of this body, so he could only remain silent upon hearing such words.

What does brotherly affection matter in the struggle for the throne? Didn't Li Shimin also launch the Xuanwu Gate Incident?
"How's it going with your brother?" Raven asked.

“I haven’t seen him in a long time.” Lance shook his head slightly. “But I think we’ll see each other soon.”

"Isn't there any way to stop it?" Raven couldn't help but ask.

Lance shook his head gently, a hint of sadness in his gentle eyes.

“Third brother, things have come to this point, and neither my eldest brother nor I can stop. We carry too much on our shoulders. Countless humans and monsters have placed their hopes on us. This is a battle of beliefs between him and me.”

"But don't worry, I won't put you under house arrest like the boss did. But I also hope you won't get involved in this war, and won't interfere in the struggle between him and me. After the war is over, we can go back to how things were before, okay?"

"..."

"What do you think of monsters, Second Brother?" Raven didn't answer directly, but asked a question instead.

Warcraft?

"Humans have always gone too far in their treatment of monsters. They also possess emotions and intelligence, and our enslavement of them is far too cruel."

"I want to liberate those enslaved magical beasts, release them back into the wild, and establish a kingdom that belongs only to us humans," Lance said softly. This was his true self.

Upon hearing this, Raven fell silent.

"And what do you think of those human slaves? They, like the monsters, were enslaved and oppressed by other humans and nobles," Raven questioned.

"How can this be the same?"

Lance said instinctively that he was born into royalty and was taught from a young age that royalty and nobility are inherently noble.

Raven: "..."

He looked at his second brother and said that, to be honest, Lance couldn't be blamed for this. What made him think this way was the feudal era and the mountain of class that had been pressing down on humanity all along.

“I’m sorry, second brother, I don’t agree with your claim of truth.” Raven slowly shook his head: “In my opinion, there is no difference between humans and magical beasts.”

Lance paused for a moment, then sighed helplessly.

"It seems that you, Third Brother, have also found your own path!"

Knowing his younger brother's personality, he knew that nothing he said would make a difference.

"My elder brother has already raised an army of nearly 200,000, including countless monster legions. His strength is formidable. I hope that we can temporarily refrain from fighting each other."

In this situation, starting a war with the third brother is not a good decision. The eldest brother's side is already much stronger and has always been eyeing the situation covetously. If he suffers any losses in the battle with the third brother, the eldest brother's side will inevitably mobilize all its forces.

“I promise you.” Raven nodded. Getting involved in this war too early would not be a good thing for him.

After lunch, Lance stood up and said, as if sensing something, "
"In ancient times, a divine dragon split into three, each fighting for its own destiny. Now, the three of us brothers are also fighting for our own beliefs..."

"Wrong," Raven thought to himself: Kyurem will not compete with Zekrom and Reshiram. As a shell, it is destined to devour the two, merge the three into one, and encompass all things.

Only in this way can balance be achieved.

"Third brother, the next time we meet will probably be on the battlefield," Lance said softly.

He looked at Raven with a determined gaze, and then slowly said, "No matter who the final winner is, please carry on with their beliefs and keep going!"

“Yes, Second Brother.” Raven nodded.

Lance didn't say much, nor did he stay there for long.

With war imminent, there are still many things waiting for him to handle at the castle.

He took Rahiram outside the door, then climbed on top of him.

With a melodious dragon roar, Reshiram's pure white figure soared into the sky, almost merging with the clouds.

This scene attracted many civilians in the city to stop and watch.

Soon, Reshiram's figure disappeared into the horizon, and Raven City returned to its usual tranquility.

But Raven knew that this was just an illusion.

A storm is brewing in the Unova region!
