Manor Lord of the Elf World

Chapter 208 The World Tree and the Dream, Cooperation with the City of Ordron!

dream!

This dreamy creature is holding a doll made of cloth and wool in its arms.

"Miu?" It looked at Raven and Dragonite in front of it, then suddenly created some distance between them: "Miu!"

“Dreamlike…” Raven murmured.

"miu~"

Dream covered her mouth and chuckled, then turned around and flew towards the Tree of Beginning.

But the dream didn't fly away immediately. After flying a distance, it suddenly stopped, looked back at Raven, and then turned around and flew forward again.

He looked as if he was playing around with them.

Seeing that Raven didn't move, Dream slowed down and stood not far away as if to lure him.

As soon as Raven lifted his foot, Mew cried out and turned to fly towards the Tree of Origin.

Raven: "..."

"As expected, it perfectly matches Dream's personality!" Raven thought to himself.

"Let's go, Dragonite, let's go check it out too!" Raven said to Dragonite.

"Woo!"

The man and the dragon followed in Dream's footsteps, but Dream's speed was too fast, and coupled with the complex terrain of the Tree of Beginning, it soon disappeared from Raven's sight.

If it were Ash, seeing this situation, he would definitely try his best to follow in Mew's footsteps.

After all, Mew is an extremely rare and precious Pokémon, and ordinary trainers simply cannot resist its allure.

But Raven knew that the Tree of Beginning was Mew's home, and if Mew wanted to see him, they would meet again sooner or later.

Moreover... there is now a special circumstance.

"Boom!"

Seemingly sensing the intruders, the Tree of Beginning automatically activated its defense mechanism, dispatching three guardians to block their path.

"Buzz!"

With a deafening rumble, the three enormous creatures in front of us emerged from the passage with heavy, mechanical steps.

The one on the left exudes a white, chilling aura and possesses a massive body as large as an glacier.

The central body is composed of enormous gray and orange rocks.

The one on the right is made entirely of hard steel, its body gleaming with a cold silver luster.

The faces and bodies of these three Pokémon are covered with orderly arranged yellow dots, which are now flashing with a strange light, as if they are recognizing some kind of information.

"Regierok, Regice, Registeel..."

Raven narrowed his eyes slightly and murmured their names.

It seems that if we want to enter the Tree of Beginnings, we will inevitably have to fight them.

"Perfect, let's test the gap between Dragonite and these legendary Pokémon," Raven thought to himself.

However, just as he was about to engage in battle, the yellow dots on the faces of the three Divine Pillars in front of him stopped flashing in unison.

Then, Regirock, Regice, and Registeel surprisingly moved aside, making way for the entrance to the Tree of Beginning.

Upon seeing this, Raven froze on the spot.

This is……

The yellow dots on Regirock's face flickered a few times, and then it made a gurgling sound.

"&ねの%#."

Raven was a little confused. What was this Regirock saying in its gibberish?

Raven: "Kyurem, can you help me translate this?"

Translator Kyurem automatically went online.

"Those recognized by the Tree of Origin, please enter."

Kyurem's deep, resonant voice echoed in Raven's mind.

What? He's already been recognized by the Tree of Origin?
Raven was even more confused.

But then he thought about it again and realized that what he was doing was indeed beneficial to the world.

While the origin of the Tree of Origin has never been explicitly stated, it is certain that it is closely related to this world.

Raven suddenly realized.

He nodded to the three legendary Titans, then continued forward with Dragonite.

However, these three Pokémon really look like they'd be perfect for guarding the gate. It would be great if we could catch them and bring them back to Raven City to protect the city.

Unfortunately, this is impossible, as they bear the responsibility of protecting the Tree of Origin of the World.

"Let's go!"

Raven lifted his foot and continued forward, and at that moment, Dream reappeared in front of him, but this time, it seemed to be taking the initiative to guide him.

Led by the dream, Raven traversed the complex and diverse passages inside the Tree of Beginning, riding a magical bubble to the top floor. After passing through a green light membrane, the scene before him suddenly opened up.

The huge trees blocked out the sky, the trees were lush and green, and the flowers and grasses grew extremely luxuriantly. Everywhere you looked, there was a vibrant scene of life.

This time, Dream stopped dodging and floated in front of Raven, holding the doll and looking at him with its big, cute eyes.

"Dream, you want to bring me here, right?" Raven said with a smile.

"Miu!"

Dream responded and then continued to lead the way.

Raven followed it through meadows and forests, finally arriving at a vibrant lake.

When Raven's gaze fell upon the lake, he froze on the spot.

So many Pokémon!

No, these are not ordinary Pokémon, but fossil Pokémon that went extinct thousands of years ago and can only be brought back to life through fossil revival technology!

Ammonites, Spiny Ammonites, Archaea, Fossil Pteranodon...

It's not just these fossil Pokémon.

This secret realm, located inside the Tree of Beginning, is also home to a large number of other Pokémon!

Ladybugs, Nidoran and Nidoran, dragonflies, cottonbirds, Oddish, Rattata, pangolins, and Tallfinches...

However, what shocked Raven even more than these things was the fairy-tale-like scenery before him.

What a nice view!

"Miu?"

Seeing Raven standing motionless, Dream couldn't help but turn around and take a look.

Raven then followed, and couldn't help but ask, "Dream, is this your home?"

"Miu!"

Mew flew to a fallen tree. The tree was hollow inside, so Mew crawled inside and used its telekinesis to control a bunch of toys to fly out of it.

"Crash!"

A variety of toys were scattered in front of Raven; undoubtedly, these were all toys that Mew had brought back from the city of Ordron. However, judging from Mew's expression, it seemed she wanted to play with these toys with him?

Living alone on the Tree of Origin, Mew must be very lonely, Raven couldn't help but wonder.

A feeling of pity welled up in his heart.

Raven patted his pockets and then took out the Power Cube and Poffin he had brought from Raven City, placing them on the grass in front of Mew.

This was something he had prepared for Dream before he came to the Tree of Origin.

Raven knew that if he came to the Tree of Beginnings, he would definitely encounter Mew.

“Eat up!” Raven introduced, “This is food made by humans; it’s energy cubes and Boffin.”

"Miu?"

Dream landed on the grass, picked up an energy cube with its paw-paddled little hands, and then gently bit it.

The next second, a rich sweetness burst forth in its mouth.

Dreamy eyes lit up instantly, as she had never tasted anything so delicious before.

"Miu!"

It immediately sped up its chewing, like a little hamster, and in no time, it had devoured an energy cube completely.

Dreamy licked her lips, seemingly still wanting more.

"Miu!"

Raven smiled; Dreamy looked so cute eating!
"Miu!"

Dream took out the toys again and invited Raven to play together.

Raven thought the toys were too childish, but he remembered that he probably never had anyone to play with Dream, so he played with it for a while.

As darkness fell, it became increasingly dark, and before we knew it, it was already late at night.

Sitting here and looking up, you can see the deep blue night sky and countless stars.

Even though it was late, many plants on the Tree of Beginning emitted a faint glow, not as bright as the sun, but enough to make people see.

The rustling sounds of wild Pokémon came from the surrounding grass and forest. Mew was playing with its toys attentively. The night was so peaceful and beautiful.

"I have to go, Dream."

Seeing that it was almost time, Raven finally spoke, saying he needed to go back and rest, as he had very important things to do early the next morning.
"Miu?"

Upon hearing this, a look of reluctance immediately appeared in Dream's eyes.

“Don’t worry, I’ll probably stay here for a few more days. I’ll come back after I’m done with work tomorrow,” Raven said softly.

"Miu..." Although Meng Huan was a little reluctant to part, she nodded happily at the thought of seeing him again tomorrow: "Miu!"

"Well then, goodnight, Mew." Raven patted Mew's head; it was fluffy and soft, and surprisingly felt nice to the touch.

"miu~"

Raven released Dragonite and rode it away from the Tree of Beginning, returning to Ordron Castle.

Mew was left alone, floating in mid-air, staring blankly at the backs of the person and the Pokémon until it could no longer be seen.

“miu…”

For thousands of years, this was the first time that the dream had stirred such emotions within it.

In all those years, it had always lived alone on this giant world tree.

Occasionally, when I feel bored or lonely, I fly down to the human town at the foot of the mountain and quietly observe the bustling town.

It sees human children having a lot of fun playing with toys.

So, Dream would secretly steal toys from the town and take them back to the World Tree.

Before it even realized it, it had accumulated so many toys.

For some reason, when Dream met Raven for the first time today, she felt a sense of closeness to him.

Perhaps it's because the World Tree has already acknowledged him? And as a result, it, which coexists with the World Tree, also has this feeling?

Dream didn't know the answer either, but it felt that Raven must be a very, very good person.

Because he brought it such delicious food, and not only that, he played with it for so long.

Will I be able to play with Raven again tomorrow? Dream couldn't help but wonder.

I think so? Raven just said he'll be coming again tomorrow.

Dream couldn't help but start looking forward to tomorrow.

*
The next day.

Queen Lynn formally received Raven in the council chamber.

"Lord Raven, I have already discussed the matter you mentioned yesterday with the ministers of the kingdom."

"If everything is as you say, I am willing to cooperate with you on behalf of the city of Orudron."

Not only for the sake of making the country better, but also because as a queen, Queen Lynn sincerely hopes that her people will never have to suffer from hunger again.

“That’s natural.” Raven was not surprised by Queen Lynn’s decision.

"In addition, I sent people to search for the magical beasts you need yesterday. They should be able to return to the royal city in a while," Queen Lynn said.

“It’s alright, I have plenty of time.” Raven nodded, indicating that he understood. He looked at Queen Lynn and said with a smile, “As a token of my gratitude, I will represent Eindooc to provide the city of Orudron with a method for living with magical beasts.”

"Afterwards, I hope that the cities of Orudron and Eindook can strengthen their ties and cooperation, whether in daily interactions or trade."

“That’s natural.” Queen Lynn nodded, but she hesitated. “However… our two countries are separated by a vast ocean. It might not be easy to conduct trade.”

Sailing at sea requires a lot of time and luck. Moreover, the ships in their city of Orudron are somewhat outdated in technology. If the sea is calm, it will be fine, but if they encounter a storm or tsunami, they will probably end up with their ships destroyed and people killed.

At that time, the cargo on the ship will probably sink into the sea as well.

"Your Excellency Lynn need not worry about this matter. The new type of ship in Eindooc is under research. Our craftsmen are using a brand-new power source as the ship's propulsion. It will only take about ten days to travel from Eindooc to the city of Orudron."

Raven paused for a moment, then continued, "And compared to ordinary ships, these ships powered by a new type of energy are much safer, and can sail normally even in the face of tsunamis and storms."

"What?" Upon hearing this, Queen Lynn's face immediately showed a look of great surprise: "Only ten days?"

Compared to before, the time has been reduced by more than three times!
Queen Lynn then recalled the words Aaron had spoken to her the day before.

—His Majesty Raven is ushering in a new era.

If... if all of this were true, Queen Lynn suddenly had a premonition that perhaps in the near future, the whole world would undergo tremendous changes because of this person!

"Immediately order the construction of a port in Fallen Leaf Town," Queen Lynn calmly issued the command to her ministers.

"No need to rush," Raven said with a smile, shaking his head.

He looked at Queen Lynn and said, "If I'm not mistaken, the city of Orudron is facing a crisis of war, isn't it? Perhaps we should wait until the war ends and peace is restored before making contact again."

Queen Lynn paused slightly, a bitter smile appearing on her face.

"To be honest, two neighboring countries have already started a war, and it may not be long before the flames of war spread to our territory."

The city of Orudron has never been one to fight or compete. As the queen of this country, Lynn only wants to lead her people to develop their lives well, so that all commoners can fill their stomachs and not have to suffer from hunger and cold.

However, the kings of those countries were all extremely ambitious.

It was simply impossible for them to remain neutral or indifferent in the war.

　Happy New Year everyone!
