Manor Lord of the Elf World

Chapter 83 Your Highness's kindness can never be repaid!

After the harvest celebrations concluded, the residents of the territory, filled with hope for the future, returned to their homes in groups.
Cliff was one of them.

Because there are too many people and not enough houses in the territory, he is now living with a man named Flick.

Both of them were originally slaves of the kingdom. Back in the capital, they ate dry, hard black bread and drank oat porridge that was thinner than water. They were always faced with endless work.

At that time, Cliff and Frick felt that they could see their future clearly, and felt hopeless about life, with a bleak future ahead.

But now, everything has changed.

The great Prince Raven not only abolished their status as slaves, making them free citizens who could live freely in this territory.

They were also given a house to live in, so that they could sleep in a comfortable and soft bed.

Not only that, His Highness Raven also plans to bestow seeds upon them, which means that from now on, they will also be able to own a piece of land of their own!
In this way, they will never have to worry about going hungry again.

Cliff and Flick never wanted to go back to their old life.

Therefore, they cherish their current life immensely.

Back in the cabin, the two knelt on the ground with devout expressions, grateful for Prince Raven's blessing.

Prince Raven was like a sun, illuminating their lives.

Life is getting better and better!
At night, the two lay in their respective beds, gazing into the darkness before them, and Cliff couldn't help but say:

"Frick, we can't let Prince Raven down!"

They must work even harder to repay Prince Raven's kindness!

Frick hummed in agreement and chuckled, "Do you even need to tell me?"

Cliff couldn't help but recall the images of the magical beasts in his territory, which made him sigh involuntarily:
"The power of monsters is truly amazing!"

They never imagined that monsters possessed such magical power.

"I wonder if I'll ever meet a magical beast that's willing to follow me in the future..." Flick couldn't help but say.

Just like Prince Raven's Snivy, and the three Snow Hat Monsters who are Paige and George's good friends.

When he gets a plot of land later, that magical beast can help him cultivate the crops.

After spending time together, the two of them were no longer as afraid of monsters as they had been at the beginning.

Frick even found some of the magical beasts to be both incredibly fierce and adorable.

Not only Flick, but Cliff felt the same way.

Watching the magical beasts running and playing around the village every day, a strange feeling even began to stir within him...

Night had fallen, and the cries of wild beasts echoed from the forest outside. Frick and Cliff lay on their bed in the cabin, feeling utterly at ease.

Filled with anticipation for the future, the two slowly drifted off to sleep.

The same scene played out in various parts of this territory.

At Raven's home.

Raven sat in front of the fireplace, massaging the Dratini's body while watching the notifications constantly refreshing on the territory's panel.

[Satisfaction level +10!]

[Satisfaction level +25!]

[Satisfaction level +20!]

【…】

There are currently 299 human subjects and 28 Pokémon subjects in the territory.

Today's bumper harvest has solved the food problem, freeing everyone from the worry of going hungry. With their basic needs of food, clothing, shelter, and transportation met, the people in the territory have begun to provide him with a great deal of satisfaction.

Notifications started flooding the screen.

It lasted for about three minutes before stopping, and the total satisfaction level reached 2,500.

In this way, new technologies can be unlocked.

Moreover, Raven noticed something else.

The loyalty of many civilians within the territory also increased significantly.

He glanced at it briefly and found that most people's loyalty was hovering between 85 and 95.

Only a very small number of people have a loyalty rating of 100. For example, the old butler Eriff, Geralt, Anna, Ryan…

Raven even saw that a man named Cliff had a loyalty level of 100 to him.

[Commoner's Name: Cliff]

[Age: 22 years old]

[Occupation: None]

[Special ability: none]

Loyalty: 100 (maximum 100)

[Life Background: In the 127th year of the Kingdom Calendar, Cliff was born in a small village in the Kingdom of Kassiak.]

In the year 135 of the Kingdom Calendar, the Kingdom of Kassiak was destroyed, and Cliff became a prisoner of the Kingdom of Eindook.

In the year 145 of the Kingdom Calendar, Cliff had been living the life of a slave in the royal city of Eindook.

In the 148th year of the Kingdom's calendar, he was bestowed upon the third prince, Raven, and went with him to his fiefdom.

In the year 149 of the Kingdom Calendar, Prince Raven abolished slavery, and Cliff became a free man. He was filled with gratitude towards Prince Raven, regarding him as the sun in his life, and resolved to work hard to repay his kindness.

Raven: "..."

"So that's it."

Looking at this person's information, Raven was somewhat speechless, but still quite happy.

This person is actually quite grateful.

Good, we can reuse it later.

However… Raven noticed a piece of information in Mrs. Kerry's life resume.

The Kingdom of Kassiak.

The size of a region in the Pokémon world is much larger than it is shown in the anime. Even now, the Unova region is not yet fully unified.

Eindooc was the largest of these kingdoms.

In some peripheral areas, there are also some very small countries...

Raven fell into deep thought.

Just then, a dense white light suddenly emanated from the Snivy beside them.

"Teng Teng...!"

Raven's attention was immediately drawn to him.

Is this another evolution?
However, Snivy still did not choose to submit to this power, but instead tried its best to suppress the urge to evolve within its body.

After a long while, the light of evolution slowly faded, and Snivy sat on the ground, panting heavily.

"Teng Teng..."

"Huh?" Dratini looked puzzled when it saw Snivy's appearance.

It doesn't understand why there are still Pokémon in this world that are unwilling to become stronger and evolve.

If it were that Pokémon, it would immediately evolve into an even more powerful and stronger Pokémon.

That way, it can protect Raven and itself!

However, Snivy did not provide an explanation to Dratini's question.

"Teng Teng."

It stood up from the ground and turned its gaze to Raven.

Raven was pondering a question.

This can't go on forever.

If Snivy really doesn't want to evolve, then as its trainer, he should consider giving Snivy an Ever Stone.

Everstone: A stone containing magical power. If a Pokémon carries it, it will remain in the same form and will not evolve.

"Maybe there will be some at the mine..." Raven murmured.
