Manor Lord of the Elf World

Chapter 18: The First Batch of Pokémon Joins the Territory!

Raven took two farmers to search for suitable land to cultivate around the territory.

Elif was then given the critical task of playing with the three "monsters".

Raven left, and the three snow-hatted monsters looked up at him expectantly.

Thinking of Prince Raven's appearance, Elif forced himself to greet them, "You...you're called Snow Hat Monsters, right?"

"Mmm~!" The snow-hat monsters nodded happily.

The monsters actually responded to him! Even though he had seen Prince Raven interact with them beforehand, the old butler was still overwhelmed with shock when it was his turn.

One of the snow-hat monsters looked up at the human, then took a fruit from its body and handed it to him.

"Ugh!"

Man, would you like to try some fruit too?
Even the demons and monsters shared their fruits with him!

While the old butler was filled with shock, he couldn't help but feel a sense of unprecedented emotion.

"Thank you." Deep down, he still felt some resistance, so he forced himself to decline, saying, "But I'm not hungry right now."

The snow-hat monsters didn't pay any attention; they looked around curiously, examining everything around them.

This place is full of things they've never seen before!
The civilians around witnessed everything, but even so, they only dared to watch from a distance and dared not approach.

Seeing this, Elif, following Prince Raven's instructions, addressed the crowd:

"Everyone, don't be afraid of these three magical beasts. They are different from other magical beasts. They won't attack us. The reason they broke into our territory today is because Prince Raven gave them some almonds yesterday. So they came to let Prince Raven taste the fruit that grows on their bodies!"

Everyone was slightly taken aback by these words.

The adults hesitated to approach, after all, they had all witnessed monsters injuring people with their own eyes.

But the children were filled with curiosity about the three magical beasts.

They just saw those three magical beasts share the fruit with His Highness!
So, after the adults left, the three children, who were about six or seven years old, could not contain their curiosity.

At first, they only dared to watch from a distance.

But soon, one of the boys mustered up the courage to step forward.

The snow-hatted monsters immediately looked over.

The boy's heart pounded; Warcraft was watching!

What should we do? What should we do? Will he be attacked?

People are more prone to making mistakes when they panic.

The boy tripped over a stone on the ground and fell to the ground.

"Ouch!" That hurts!
Suddenly, someone came over and helped him up.

When the boy looked up, he saw the snow-hat monster's white face.

"Ugh~" the snow-hat monster made a friendly sound.

The boy froze on the spot for a moment.

The demons and monsters helped him up!

The boy stood there, frozen in place, staring at the three magical beasts before him, too afraid to move.

The snow-hatted monsters also looked at him curiously.

After a long while, the boy finally couldn't hold back any longer and mustered up the courage to ask:

"You...you really won't hurt me?"

Upon hearing this, the snow-hat monsters looked puzzled.

"Hmm?" Why do they hurt humans?

One of the snow-hatted monsters, seeing the boy was injured, even picked some fruit from its own body and gave it to him.

The boy took a bite, and his eyes immediately lit up: "So delicious!"

At this moment, he no longer feared the three magical beasts in front of him, but instead happily played with them.

So, when Raven returned from outside, this is what he saw:
Several children surrounded the three snow hat monsters, happily playing with them. Two of the more daring children even climbed onto the snow hat monsters.

The Snow Hat Monster, on the other hand, happily hoisted them onto its shoulder.

Raven heard a child say this:

"Snow Hat Monsters, the berries on your bodies are so delicious!"

Upon hearing this praise, the Snow Hat Monster immediately wanted to pluck a fruit from his body to share with him.

But it turned out that all the fruit on them had been shared.

"Ugh..."

This made Snow Hat Monster a little sad.

However, they recovered quickly.

Because by tomorrow, the fruit on them will grow back!
Seeing this, Raven couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Indeed, this is a good start.

"Your Highness Raven, how is it?" With business at hand, Eriff immediately stepped forward to ask Raven upon his return.

Raven nodded and said, "We've found suitable land for cultivation."

The land was located on the western side of the territory, near the riverbank. After investigation by the two experienced old farmers, they found that the land was very fertile and perfect for cultivation.

“They’ll be there this afternoon to cultivate that land,” Raven said. “We need to plant the seeds as soon as possible.” “Yes, Your Highness.”

As noon approached, wisps of smoke rose from the chimneys above the territory.

Lunch was ready.

Fragrant oatmeal porridge, grilled fish sprinkled with a little salt and roasted until golden brown, paired with slightly hardened black bread, and a few glasses of barley beer—this is the lunch of most ordinary people.

As a prince, Raven's lunch was much more lavish.

Soft white bread, ham with a smoky pine flavor and a slight sweetness, a full-bodied wine with a rich grape aroma, and a delicious fish soup simmered to a creamy white color.

The maids carried the food into the tent one by one.

The children who were playing with the Snow Hat Monster were all called back by their parents.

The children wanted to invite the Snow Hat Monster back to eat with them, but the adults stopped them because they were still a little worried.

"Ugh..."

Those people don't seem to like them very much...

The three snow-hatted monsters belatedly sensed the people's rejection of them. They immediately turned away, feeling utterly dejected, and prepared to silently leave the place.

Raven witnessed this scene and, seeing the Snow Hat Monster about to leave, he called out:
"Hey, Snow Hat Monster!"

The snow-hatted monsters turned around and saw Raven standing not far away.

Raven is back! Their eyes lit up immediately.

"Would you like to come over for lunch?" Raven invited with a smile.

"Ugh!"

Upon hearing this, the snow-hat monsters immediately rushed towards this direction.

They were invited into the tent by Raven and sat down at the dining table to eat together.

Raven and the Mini Dragon sat on the other side.

Different Pokémon have different eating habits.

The miniature dragons ate almost exclusively the fish from the abundant food on the table.

After looking around, the snow-hat monsters finally chose white bread, almonds, and figs—foods that interested them—for lunch.

“Try it!” Raven said.

The snow-hat monster picked up a piece of white bread, took a bite, and its eyes immediately shone with an unusual light.

"Ugh!"

So delicious!
Raven patiently waited for them to finish eating before speaking:

"By the way, Snow Hat Monsters, would you like to join my territory and live with us? That way we can play together all the time."

In fact, as a Grass/Ice type Pokémon, Snowcap doesn't have a big appetite.

They live on the vast snow-capped mountains, surviving by photosynthesis and eating snow.

This is why Raven was determined to invite them to join his territory and live together.

If it were a Pokémon like Munchlax, he would refuse to let it join him without hesitation.

Hearing Raven's words, the Snow Hat Monsters blinked.

Although they didn't understand the meaning of territory, they immediately agreed when they heard that they could play with Raven.

"Ugh!"

Meanwhile, Raven also received a notification.

His population increased from 79 to 82.

Following closely behind was a continuous increase in satisfaction.

+50!

+50!

+50!

In the blink of an eye, the satisfaction rate reached 300.

Raven was slightly taken aback, somewhat shocked by the rapid increase in satisfaction.

But looking at the three snow-hatted monsters in front of him, he quickly realized what was going on.

Unlike other humans, the snow cap monsters have very simple needs.

They are gentle and innocent by nature, and they will be happy as long as someone is willing to play with them.

"What a simple and straightforward Pokémon!" Raven couldn't help but think to himself.

However, he felt a sense of relief.

Whether it's using grass-based energy to help care for crops or producing edible fruits that can fill your stomach.

With the addition of the Snow Hat Monster, the territory will be able to alleviate a lot of pressure.

Of course, in return, Raven will do his best to meet the Snow Hat Monster's needs.

Whether it's providing special food or companionship services.
