Chapter 119: Victini Arrives
Following closely, a small figure flew in from outside the door.
It was a Pokémon that was small in size, somewhat resembling a mouse in appearance, and possessed a pair of large V-shaped ears.
That’s… Victini?!
Lei Wen’s pupils contracted slightly, and an expression of astonishment involuntarily appeared on his face.
Before he could understand what was happening, that Victini had already arrived in front of him.
“Nini~!”
Victini’s face was full of joy after a long reunion. It opened its small hands, affectionately hugged Lei Wen, and rubbed its cheek against Lei Wen’s face.
Seeing Victini’s actions, Lei Wen was slightly taken aback, and a past memory immediately surfaced in his mind.
From the time “he” was born, Victini had always been by “his” side, watching “him” grow up and often playing around the castle together.
Those were the memories of the original host.
Seeing Victini now, Lei Wen fell silent for a moment.
The original host had already passed away; if he hadn’t transmigrated, Lei Wen’s existence would not have been recorded in history at all.
Never mind, he was “Lei Wen” now. Since he had transmigrated to this place, he naturally had to fulfill the duties of the original host.
Lei Wen sighed inwardly, but a look of pleasant surprise appeared on his face:
“Victini, why did you come here?!”
Victini smiled happily, then closed its eyes, waved its fingers, and put on a demeanor of a little adult.
“Nini, Nini!” Of course, I was worried about you, so I came to see!
However, soon, Victini couldn’t help but reveal its original lively, cheerful, innocent, and cute appearance.
“Nini!” It’s so good to see Lei Wen again!
Lei Wen reached out and petted Victini’s head. Although he couldn’t understand Victini’s words, judging by its expression and tone, Victini was clearly very happy to see him again.
Lei Wen said softly, “Yes, I’m also very happy to see you, but Victini, is Father King doing alright?”
“Nini…” Speaking of the Old King, Victini’s face showed a dejected expression.
The First Prince and the Second Prince were going to start a war, and the Old King was placed under house arrest in the castle by them, with his power being usurped…
Seeing Victini’s appearance, Lei Wen could roughly guess that the Old King’s current situation was probably not good.
If he hadn’t arrived, everything would have likely progressed as it did in the anime.
The strife between the Two Princes caused the Dragon Vein to go out of control. The Old King lost his life trying to quell it, and Victini would have been trapped on Aindook for a thousand years.
Now, due to his appearance, there was a slight change to all of this.
“Don’t worry, Father King will be alright,” Lei Wen comforted him. “After some time, I’ll see if I can go to the Royal City and bring Father King here.”
For example, once Dragonair evolved into Dragonite, they could quickly travel between Aindook and Raven City.
“Nini!” Victini believed Lei Wen unconditionally. It let out a happy growl, and then, as if suddenly remembering something, it took out a letter from behind and handed it over: “Nini.”
“Father King’s letter for me?” Lei Wen took it.
“Nini!” Victini nodded repeatedly.
Lei Wen opened the envelope and took out the folded letter.
【 To Lei Wen:
My child, how have you been recently? Seeing your predicament, your father is extremely shocked. Lei Wen, my child, you have grown up! You already possess the qualifications to be a king… However, your elder brother and second brother will likely launch a war soon. At that time, your situation will surely become very difficult. You must hide well and never appear before them!
I have used the last bit of power I controlled to secretly send you over a thousand commoners and slaves. From now on, you are their king.
Besides these people, I have also sent you many things you can use.
Personnel, tools, food, seeds, workers, monsters… You can find out the details from the court maid Lorraine.
I believe you must have already met Victini by now? Don’t worry, my child, Victini will stay by your side for me, and it will protect your safety. 】
After reading the letter, Lei Wen’s heart became incredibly complex.
The Old King had actually sent Victini directly to be his bodyguard…
“Nini?” Victini leaned towards the letter, seemingly wanting to see what was written.
“Father King said he sent you to protect me,” Lei Wen explained.
Hearing this, Victini immediately patted its chest with its small hands and said happily, “Nini!”
That’s right! It would protect Lei Wen’s safety!
“Alright, Victini, you must be very tired from your long journey. Have some food first, and then get some good rest!”
Lei Wen said, while signaling the maid to prepare food. He remembered that Victini’s favorite food was small cookies.
In a short while, the maid came over with a cup of berry juice and a plate of small cookies.
“Nini!”
Upon seeing its favorite food, Victini immediately began to eat heartily with joy.
While Victini was eating, Lei Wen took the opportunity to have Elif call Lorraine, the court maid mentioned in the Old King’s letter, over.
Not long after, a woman wearing a long robe, with long hair, wearing a pair of black-rimmed glasses, and exuding an intellectual aura, entered from outside, led by Elif.
Lorraine, the court maid mentioned in the letter, was currently appraising the Third Prince of the Kingdom before her with a look of slight surprise.
In fact, before coming here, Lorraine had already heard about Prince Lei Wen’s experience from His Majesty.
She had expected this place to be a small village, as it would be very difficult to reclaim land with just that manpower.
But everything here far exceeded her expectations.
Prince Lei Wen not only led those people through the blizzard and established a new home here, but he also managed this place in an orderly fashion and utilized the power of monsters in an unprecedented way…
“Your Highness.” Lorraine stopped her scattered thoughts and bowed to Lei Wen.
“Rise!” Lei Wen said, “I have received Father King’s letter and would like to know the detailed situation of your group of personnel.”
“Yes!” Lorraine organized her thoughts slightly and then slowly began, “Currently, a total of eight hundred and fifty-six people have successfully arrived in the territory, including several knights, commoners, farmers, scholars, blacksmiths, carpenters, and slaves. In addition, there are about 150 monsters used for labor. The total number is approximately one thousand people.”
One thousand people… For the current territory, it was indeed a very large number, Lei Wen mused.
Lorraine continued, “As per His Majesty’s command, we have also brought many tools, including several farming tools, pickaxes, shovels, and so on.”
“And a large amount of easily stored food, such as wine, cheese, ham, smoked meat, dried fruit, bread, tea leaves, etc.”
“In addition to these, there are many crop seeds for farming, including crops suitable for planting in all seasons, such as wheat, rice, radishes, carrots, and various other vegetables and fruits.”
