Manor Lord of the Elf World

Chapter 235 A Bountiful Harvest

Columbus and his fleet rested in the United States for half a month before setting sail again to explore other lands on the vast ocean.

Although he had decided to go to the Carlos region, Raven was not in a hurry.

He stayed in Raven City, watching as Anna and the Champions and Elite Four handled the Pokémon League's affairs in an orderly manner.

As yet another batch of new trainers received their starter Pokémon from the Pokémon League and embarked on their journeys,
Watching the kingdom's workers and Pokémon toil together, laying railway tracks and power grids from Raven City to all parts of Unova.

Everything seemed so orderly and well-organized.

At night, Raven stood in the castle, watching the lights of Raven City with his Pokémon.

In this way, the country can function normally even when he is not around.

"Tuk Tuk Tuk!"

Suddenly there was a knock on the door.

“Come in!” Raven said.

Elif walked in with a beaming smile: "Your Majesty Raven, the detailed harvest results from all over the kingdom this spring have been sent over!"

Hearing this, Raven raised an eyebrow and turned to look at Elif: "Oh?"

"What a bumper harvest, Your Majesty!" Elif's cheeks flushed with excitement. "This spring, the entire kingdom has enjoyed an unprecedented bumper harvest! Every household's granary is overflowing with grain!"

"Furthermore, the tree fruit crops you promoted last year also yielded a bumper harvest. With this food, starting this year, the common people and Pokémon throughout the kingdom will no longer go hungry!"

"Good, very good." Raven was quite pleased as well.

He did it.

“Your Majesty, I have heard that villages and towns all over the country are building shrines to worship the Earth Cloud,” Elif added.

Raven was not surprised by this.

However, if this happens, thousands of years later, legends of the Land Cloud will likely circulate throughout the Unova continent.

Because of his appearance, the future has already changed dramatically.

"Will Arthur and the others be back soon?" Raven asked.

Arthur was the boy he had sent out to travel through Unova with Land Cloud, Thunder Cloud, and Tornado Cloud to improve the soil throughout the country.

"Yes, Arthur and the others have already arrived in Kagome Town and will be back soon," Elif replied.

Raven nodded: "Then we must reward him handsomely! But... has Kagome Village been renamed?"

Raven was somewhat surprised.

Eriff nodded: "Because of your arrangement, Kagome Town was one of the first towns to have a steam train. In addition, there are a large number of Ice-type Pokémon inhabiting the area, so many trainers go there to train or catch Ice-type Pokémon."

"That's why the village has developed rapidly, and now it's become a very bustling town!"

Raven nodded; it seemed his arrival had indeed changed many things.

*
Three days later, a steam train from the direction of Kagome Town sounded a long whistle and slowly pulled into Raven City Central Station.

The crowd spontaneously gathered on both sides of the platform, their cheers almost lifting the roof off—not only because of Arthur's return, but also because of the three enormous figures following behind him.

The Earth Cloud was surrounded by warm earth-elemental energy, and wherever it passed, even tender green grass sprouted from the cracks in the stone slabs; the Thunder Cloud and Tornado Cloud accompanied it on the left and right, their auras having subsided from their usual frenzy and gained a bit more composure.

These three legendary Pokémon, which had once shaken the world, now obediently followed beside a young boy, drawing the worship of countless people. Arthur was covered in dust and grass, his clothes still stained with mud and grass from afar, but his face was more resolute and upright than when he left.

He stepped off the train, his gaze passing through the crowd and settling steadily on Raven, who was standing at the very front of the platform.

Without the slightest hesitation, the young man knelt on one knee, his voice clear and respectful:
"Your Majesty, Arthur has lived up to expectations. He has traveled throughout the entire territory of the Union with Lords Land Cloud, Thunder Cloud, and Tornado Cloud to improve the soil and improve the flow of energy. All farmland in the territory has been restored to life and is even more fertile than before!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the entire hall fell silent, then erupted into thunderous cheers.

Raven slowly stepped forward and personally helped Arthur up.

He looked at the man before him, who had grown from a naive youth into a capable and outstanding individual, his eyes filled with admiration:
"You've worked hard, Arthur. You've done a great job. If it weren't for you accompanying Landorus across mountains and rivers, the Unova Kingdom wouldn't have had this year's bumper harvest, and the common people and Pokémon wouldn't have escaped hunger and cold. I've seen your contributions and efforts."

“Your Majesty…” Arthur’s eyes flickered, his heart filled with deep emotion.

Arthur had never imagined that he, born into a peasant family and unremarkable from head to toe, could win the favor of His Majesty Raven.

He didn't think what he had done was of great merit, because compared to what His Majesty Raven had done for them, it was really insignificant.

At that moment, Arthur was deeply moved. His voice was firm, and his face was full of gratitude:

"Arthur will protect His Majesty with his life!"

Raven: "..."

What's with all this talk about dying? It's so unlucky.

"Get up, you must be tired from the journey. Now you should get some rest!"

After saying that, Raven turned around and looked at Elif, who had been waiting to the side.

Elif stepped forward and read aloud in front of the surrounding onlookers:

"Young Arthur, loyal and brave, with the people in his heart, was ordered by the king to accompany the three cloud gods on their journeys to unite the people, improve the territory, and make great contributions to His Majesty and the kingdom!"

"Arthur is hereby appointed as the Chairman of the Pokémon Agriculture Association of the Unova Kingdom, in charge of all matters related to farmland improvement, soil management, and fruit cultivation nationwide, guiding Pokémon to integrate into agriculture. He is granted a mansion, free access to the Royal Palace and the Pokémon League Headquarters, and the title of Honorary Trainer of Unova. He can choose his starter Pokémon anywhere in the League and enjoys Champion-level privileges!"

After Arief finished reading, Arthur trembled and immediately knelt down on one knee again, his voice filled with barely suppressed excitement and a choked sob:

"Arthur...Thank you, Your Majesty! Arthur will follow and protect Your Majesty to the death!"

Raven: "..." It's clear that this kid is at a loss for words.

Raven gently patted his shoulder, then turned his gaze to the three cloud gods beside him and nodded to them.

Looking at the scene before him, Raven's last lingering concern finally subsided.

The Kingdom of the United States is now truly at peace.

The Pokémon Trainer industry is booming, and Anna, along with the Champions and Elite Four, will diligently take his place in guiding the fusion of humans and Pokémon.

Police departments led by Officer Jenny and Interpol will be responsible for maintaining order in various regions.

Geralt's army was stationed throughout the kingdom, protecting its peace.

And he could finally set sail without any worries, heading to the next continent—the Carlos region.

However, he went to Carlos not in his personal capacity, but as the King of the Unified, to meet Az.
