Manor Lord of the Elf World

Chapter 46 Fire-type Pokémon?

"Your Highness..." Ryan felt a surge of excitement within him, "Is it like Anna and that little monster?"

"Hmm?" Raven turned to look at the eager Ryan, raising an eyebrow as he asked, "You also want to have your own magical beast like Anna?"

Ryan scratched his head sheepishly: "Well, that way we can fight together!"

“It’s not impossible.” Raven thought for a moment and then said, “However, magical beasts are very intelligent beings. If you want to subdue them, you must treat them with sincerity and not use them as tools in any way. Otherwise, even if you subdue them, they will leave.”

As he spoke, Raven turned his gaze to the Dratini swimming in the hot spring.

“Take my Dratini for example. Although you may think it’s just a pet I use to kill time when I’m bored, it has always been by my side and is like family to me.”

Treat Warcraft like family?
Upon hearing these words, Ryan couldn't help but be somewhat stunned.

Raven naturally saw through his thoughts and couldn't help but laugh as he said:

"Warcraft will accompany you in life, eating, and sleeping. When you go out, it will obediently wait for you to come back at home. When you encounter danger, it will also protect you without hesitation. Although they don't understand anything, to them, you are the most trusted and closest person in the world."

“It seems…that’s definitely how it is.” Raven’s words reminded Ryan of a description, which he immediately uttered: “It’s like raising a child.”

“So, do you understand what I mean?” Raven asked.

A picture involuntarily popped into Ryan's mind.

He patrols and guards the territory outside, while his magical beast stays at home obediently waiting for him to return. If he doesn't come back for a long time, the magical beast will worry and get anxious.

When he returns, the magical beast immediately cheers up again, and they eat together and warm themselves around the fire...

Ryan's eyes welled up with tears.

He lost his parents when he was young and lived alone, making a living by working in a bakery. Although he later joined the Knights, he was always alone.

He was lonely and isolated.

If... if there really were a magical beast willing to stay with him, he would definitely take good care of it!
Raven: "..."

Why are this kid's eyes red?

At that moment, Raven suddenly remembered Ryan's life story.

His parents passed away when he was nine years old, and Ryan has lived alone ever since.

Although he has now become the leader of the Knights, he is still that lonely child at heart.

"Your Highness, I also want to raise a magical beast!" Ryan pleaded. "Please help me!"

Raven sighed and then said, "It's not easy to tame a magical beast."

"what should I do?"

"As far as I know, monster tamers often use these methods to tame monsters."

"First, demonstrate your strength to them through battle, prove to the magical beasts that you are stronger than them, and in this way you can gain their recognition and have them follow you."

"Secondly, it is through some special methods, such as luring them according to their preferences. Some simple-minded monsters will follow you as long as you give them some good food."

"Third, like Anna, you went through some things together, and it fell in love with you and was willing to stay by your side forever."

"Fourth, take care of the magical beasts before they hatch from their eggs. This way, once the magical beasts hatch, they will treat you as their closest person."

Ryan listened carefully. At this point, number four seemed the least likely, because he hadn't seen any monster eggs nearby.

The third is also a rare occurrence, with cases like Anna and Zoroah being extremely rare. Ryan doesn't think he's that lucky.

As for the second method...

He seemed to know nothing about these magical beasts before him, and had no idea what they liked.

If that's the case, then only one remains!
With a clang, Ryan drew his iron sword from his waist, his eyes gleaming as he looked intently at the group of magical beasts before him.

Let's fight! "Quack quack!"

The two Psyducks realized the danger and fled in panic. Marill in the hot spring also immediately pulled his head back into the water and submerged.

Raven: "?"

Ryan was completely bewildered. Looking at the empty hot spring in front of him, he couldn't help but ask, "Isn't that how it's supposed to be done?"

"..." Raven was speechless: "Every magical beast has a different personality. Even among magical beasts of the same race, there are those who like to fight and those who don't. If you encounter the latter, fighting them will be completely ineffective."

Moreover, there are no Poké Balls in this era, so it's impossible to knock them out and capture them.

"Then what should I do?" Ryan was dumbfounded.

Raven's gaze fell upon the Pokémon in another hot spring.

Psyducks often suffer from migraines; perhaps providing headache medication would help build a closer relationship with them.

The Swim Ring Weasel is an incredibly powerful tool, excelling at everything from rock breaking and super strength to digging, surfing, diving, and waterfall climbing.

Squirrel, a Fire-type Pokémon, is the evolved form of Squirrel Monkey and has a great love for sweets.

Raven told Ryan about the general preferences of these Pokémon.

After listening, Ryan turned his gaze to the fragrant ape.

"You like sweets? What a coincidence, I have some candies that I brought from the royal city!" Ryan said excitedly.

Moreover, judging from the appearance of that magical beast, it looks very warm. It's still winter with snow, so if you could live with it, you would never be afraid of the cold again!
"I'm going back to get the candy right now!" Ryan said excitedly.

"My lord!" The little knight beside him was stunned for a moment, then quickly called out.

Raven glanced at him and said with a smile, "If you also have a favorite monster, you can go back and prepare one."

But the young knight named Manon hesitated for a moment, and ultimately chose to stay.

He shook his head and said, "I will stay here to protect Your Highness!"

Raven was helpless, but he didn't force the issue. Instead, he turned his attention to the Exploding Fragrance Ape.

To be honest, the Explosive Apex is a very unpopular Pokémon in the game.

But if Ryan can really subdue it, it wouldn't be a bad thing for the territory.

Because the Exploding Ape can spew out flames at temperatures exceeding 300 degrees Celsius, they can ask it to help them fire clay bricks and roof tiles next spring to build more habitable houses.

As I pondered, a ripple suddenly appeared on the surface of the hot spring.

Immediately afterwards, the figure of the Mini Dragon emerged from underwater.

It held an orange-yellow stone in its mouth and then slowly placed it in Raven's palm.

"Woo!" The Mini Dragon was very happy.

This is a stone it found underwater, which it gave to Raven as a gift!
Raven was slightly taken aback when he saw the appearance of the stone.

This is... the Fire Stone?

and many more!

Raven suddenly realized something.

He looked up at the unusual hot spring and remembered that the Fire Stone was found by Dratini underwater. Moreover, Ape needs a Fire Stone to evolve into Apexus.

So... could there be a fire stone vein hidden beneath this hot spring?!
