Manor Lord of the Elf World

Chapter 70 Town Planning
"you are?"

When Geralt saw the person in front of him clearly, he couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.

Evan's heart skipped a beat. Sure enough... Lord Geralt didn't recognize him, this nobody?
"I was sent by His Highness Raven!" Evan quickly explained.

Upon hearing Raven's name, Geralt's expression instantly turned serious.

He scrutinized the man before him and asked, "Where is Prince Raven now? Is he safe?"

Evan turned his gaze away from the terrifying monster beside Lord Geralt and then recounted their experiences after they parted ways.

This includes finding a valley plain, cutting down trees to build houses, and how Prince Raven used the power of magical beasts to fish and solve the problem of food scarcity...

Geralt frowned and listened intently.

When he heard that Prince Raven was safe and sound, his long-tense nerves immediately relaxed.

Geralt breathed a sigh of relief.

When Geralt heard how Raven had led his people through that cold winter, and how he had helped them build their territory and heal the wounded, he couldn't help but close his eyes.

His Highness has really grown up.

Compared to the two princes in the royal city, His Highness possesses a quality called benevolence.

As the leader of the Twin Dragon Knights, Geralt was well aware of the current situation within the kingdom.

Given the personalities of those two princes, their conflict was inevitable sooner or later, and war throughout the Unova region was almost a foreseeable prospect.

However, in the struggles between royal families, it is only the common people who suffer. Their children will be sent to the battlefield, where they may even become enemies with their former neighbors and friends...

Geralt, who also came from a commoner background, couldn't help but feel immense sorrow.

Because he knew the two princes' stubborn personalities well.

Unfortunately……

Geralt slowly exhaled a breath of stale air. In any case, as long as Prince Raven was alright, that was all that mattered.

He will protect Prince Raven to the death, even if it means sacrificing his own life!
Geralt looked at Martha and the others, who were carrying large and small bags and were ready, and said in a deep voice:

"It's time for us to go."

Construction within the territory has reached a bottleneck.

Due to a shortage of manpower, many of Raven's plans could not be implemented; if he wanted to do one thing, he had to give up another.

After much deliberation, Raven decided to solve the housing problem first.

“Your Highness Raven, this is Ms. Elena, who previously designed the city layout for the royal city. Perhaps she can be of assistance to you.”

The old butler, Elif, brought a woman in her thirties, exuding an intellectual air, to Raven and introduced her to him.

Raven nodded slightly: "Hello, ma'am."

Elena sized up the third prince in front of her. Although she had met him before, this was the first time she had been in such close contact with him.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Your Highness." Elena bowed.

Raven pushed the map Christina had drawn of the surrounding area in front of Elena and said:

"Tell me your thoughts on the development and urban construction of this land."

Upon hearing this, Elena looked at the map on the table.

It clearly records the location of the terrain and resources near this territory.

In an instant, Elena had an idea.

But she didn't explain immediately; instead, she wanted to know the answer to a question.

"Your Highness, I have a question I would like to ask you."

Raven was somewhat surprised, but still gestured, "Go ahead."

“I remember His Majesty the King bestowed upon you a rich fiefdom. That place seems far more suitable for you than this one, doesn’t it? Does Your Highness intend to stay here and build a completely new territory?” Elena asked. Raven, however, didn’t answer this question directly. Instead, he asked, “What do you think of my two brothers?”

Two older brothers? Aren't those the eldest and second princes?

Elena was slightly taken aback.

In fact, she had seen the two princes before when she was in the palace.

Although they came from the same family, the two princes had completely opposite personalities, as if they were two natural extremes.

As it turned out, Elena was right.

She took the initiative to leave the capital, because she could sense the changing situation within the palace.

She had even vaguely heard that some barons and viscounts of the knightly territories had begun to take sides, and that those who did not comply were being dealt with swiftly and decisively…

Given the personalities of those two princes, they will inevitably go to extremes sooner or later.

At that time, they will surely eliminate everyone who stands in their way before deciding the victor.

And the location of Liyongling... if His Highness Raven were to go there...

Elena instantly understood the meaning behind Raven's words.

He cannot escape the struggle for the throne.

Whether he likes it or not, he will be drawn into it.

Moreover, Liyong Territory is one of the richest territories in the kingdom, and once war breaks out, it will become a battleground between the eldest and second princes.

Their forces are overwhelming; Prince Raven has absolutely no chance of winning.

Raven observed the changes in Elena's expression; clearly, she had also grasped the key point.

Raven smiled and spread his hands, saying, "Alright, we don't have that much time to waste. Are you ready, Elena?"

Elena finally came to her senses and looked at the slightly immature boy in front of her with a complicated expression.

She's just escaped one wolf's den, and now she's about to enter another tiger's mouth?

"Your Highness, the forces of the First Prince and the Second Prince are enough to crush us..." Elena said, trembling.

Raven smiled slightly: "Elena, have you ever heard this saying?"

"what?"

"It's not about the quantity of soldiers, but their quality." A glint flashed in Raven's eyes.

This isn't the real world; it's a world where Pokémon exist.

Despite his two older brothers commanding large armies, including dedicated Pokémon soldiers.

However, it's important to understand that people in this era still had a very limited understanding of Pokémon. They didn't know how to utilize Pokémon moves at all; they only knew how to put strong Pokémon like Aggron in armor and have them fight hand-to-hand with the enemy.

In such a large-scale battle, if a well-trained Tyranitar were deployed and ordered to unleash its full power of Earthquake...

Or you could let Dragonite fly into the air and use a wide-area AoE move like Draco Meteor...

It's not impossible for one person to fight against a thousand.

The only problem is the Zekrom and Lehiram held by his two older brothers.

"We must find Kyurem." Raven silently formulated a plan in his mind: "Kagome Town... Giant's Cave... I wonder if Kagome Town is still called Kagome Town in this era."

Elena remained silent.

After a long silence, she sighed helplessly and said, "Leave it to me!"

Eindook is situated high in the mountains, and despite the immense difficulty of its construction, she managed to design such a prosperous and magnificent town there.

Now, nothing in this place can stump her!
