Manor Lord of the Elf World

Chapter 41 Beast Tamer Aron

The next day, the snow stopped.

The women were cooking breakfast at home, while the men went out and used brooms and shovels to clear the snow in front of their houses, creating several paths for people to walk on. Meanwhile, the children gathered together and built a snowman with the snow-hatted monster.

After breakfast, some women carried wooden basins full of dirty clothes to the river to wash them, while the men checked the exterior of the houses to prevent the heavy snow from collapsing the roofs and burying people underneath.

The knights, led by Ryan, began to patrol their territory as usual.

The entire territory presented a thriving and vibrant scene.

"Your Highness Raven, it seems everyone is gradually adapting to life here," Elif said, watching the children playing with Pokémon in the snow.

Raven grunted in agreement. He looked at the dirt road in front of him and thought that next spring, in addition to building sturdier houses, he would also have to fix the road.

Otherwise, if it rains heavily, the roads throughout the territory will become muddy and impassable.

There are currently no matters within the territory that require Raven's attention.

He then went to Anna to check on her training progress with Zorro.

Upon learning Raven's purpose, Anna excitedly reported on the results of her and Zoro's efforts.

"Teacher, Zoroah can now create illusions! Come on, Zoroah, show your teacher!"

"Woo~!"

Soroya focused his mind and held his breath, and a bewitching purple light suddenly surged from his body.

The next second, Raven sensed that his surroundings had changed.

Anna and Soroya had vanished from his sight, replaced by two stones, one large and one small.

Then, the stone moved.

Raven saw one of the rocks waving at him.

Anna's voice rang out: "Teacher, can you see me? I'm a stone now!"

Raven: "..."

Is it an attempt to use this deception to escape attacks from wild Pokémon?
It works, but it's too rudimentary...

Raven was at a loss for words.

People in the past had rather limited imaginations.

If you encounter a reckless Pokémon, it doesn't care what you've turned into; it might just unleash a million-ton punch at the two rocks in front of it.

"Hehe!" The illusion vanished, and Anna looked over expectantly, asking, "Teacher, how did we do?"

"For beginners, your performance is already very good." Raven finally praised his young apprentice.

"Yay!" Anna exclaimed happily.

"However, your development of this ability is too rudimentary, Anna. Unleash your imagination."

Raven thought for a moment, then began to give Anna examples.

"The so-called illusion is not just a change in yourselves. Although this ability cannot cause any form of harm, it can deceive the senses of humans and monsters."

"For example, you could influence their brainwaves, create a forest maze to trap them in an illusion forever, or transform yourself into a powerful Pokémon to intimidate your opponents."

As far as Raven knows, Zoroark's illusionary abilities are among the best of all Pokémon.

"The powerful Zoroark can not only transform into anything, but it can even create illusions that thousands of people can see at the same time, trapping an entire town inside," Raven added. In Zoroark's exclusive theatrical version, that Zoroark can not only transform into the three legendary Pokémon Entei, Suicune, and Raikou, but also perfectly replicate their powerful abilities.

Anna and Sororia listened with rapt attention.

Zoroah was filled with longing as he read Raven's description: "Huh? Can it really possess such power?"

Anna was equally astonished: "That's amazing?!"

“Anna, never underestimate the power of any magical beast. As long as you take good care of them and nurture them, their power is limitless,” Raven said.

“Infinitely large…” Anna murmured, repeating the three words, “Just like Lord Aaron, the Beastmaster?”

Can she and Zoroya become that amazing?

Several years ago, Lord Aron came to the Kingdom of Eindooc and defeated a terrifying monster that no human could defeat for the townspeople.

At that time, his legend was circulating throughout the kingdom.

In Anna's mind, Lord Aaron was the most powerful monster tamer in the world.

“Yaron?” Raven was slightly taken aback upon hearing this familiar name.

But soon, memories related to it surfaced in his mind.

Three years ago, an "evil" great demonic beast unleashed terrible storms across the kingdom, destroying countless homes and fields.

The old king's army failed in its campaign and he had no choice but to request support from other kingdoms.

Thus, the Beastmaster Aron came from the Kingdom of Ordron on another distant continent, and he used his power to seal away the "evil" beast.

His deeds thus spread throughout the entire Unova region.

Recalling these memories, Raven's expression suddenly became somewhat strange.

Seeing that Raven didn't speak, Anna called softly, "Teacher? What's wrong?"

"It's nothing, I was just thinking about something." Raven snapped out of his thoughts and shook his head. "Anna, you and Zoroya continue your training! I have some things to take care of."

"Yes!" Anna nodded quickly.

Aron... Isn't that Aron from the movie "Lucario and the Aura Warrior" who sacrificed himself to end the war and transferred his Aura to Lucario?
In this era, Aaron is still alive?!
Raven was somewhat surprised. He turned around and found Elif, asking him about Aaron.

Elif pretended to recall something, and then replied, "Lord Alan? That's right, he came to the royal city three years ago. At that time, a magical beast called Tornado Cloud caused a terrible disaster. The king had no choice but to ask Queen Lynn of the Kingdom of Ordron for help."

"Queen Lynn and the King were pen pals, and they often corresponded by letter. After that, Lord Aaron came and he and the monster named Lucario stopped the tornado and helped the kingdom resolve the disaster."

"What's wrong, Your Highness?" the old steward, Elif, couldn't help but ask.

"It's nothing, I just think that beast wielder is very powerful, and I wish I could meet him," Raven said.

"The land where the Kingdom of Orudron is located is very far from us. It would take a month to get there by ship," the old steward couldn't help but say.

Raven was naturally aware of this matter.

In this era, humanity's fear of the sea far exceeds its fear of the land.

The ocean is unfathomably deep, and thunderstorms and torrential rains often rage at sea. Countless sea monsters also inhabit the ocean. Once a ship is wrecked, one can only wait for death in despair.

This is why there was very little connection between different regions in this era, and some regions were still living slowly in the form of tribes.
