Chapter 126: Town Built!
“Prince Lei Wen, what happened here?!”
The anomaly caused by Draco Meteor quickly attracted the attention of the patrolling knights nearby.
Coincidentally, Geralt was among them, and out of concern for Lei Wen’s safety, he quickly ran over to check the situation.
“It’s nothing, Dragonair just learned a powerful new move.” Lei Wen chuckled and stroked Dragonair’s head.
A new move?
The two young knights behind Geralt, looking at the large pits in the ground caused by something terrifying, couldn’t help but swallow.
What kind of move could smash the ground like this?
Today’s special training concluded successfully. To celebrate Serperior’s evolution, Lei Wen specifically had several of its favorite foods prepared.
Several Pokémon sat around the dining table, happily feasting.
Lei Wen paid special attention to Serperior.
Although Serperior had lost its limbs after evolving, it had instinctively learned to use Vine Whip to pick up food, a posture that appeared noble and elegant.
Serperior noticed Lei Wen’s gaze and turned its head to look over.
Lei Wen smiled and shook his head, saying, “It’s fine, you all eat slowly. Elif needs to see me about something, I’m going to the study room to handle some official business.”
The Pokémon enjoying dinner had no objections.
Lei Wen left the dining room to the Pokémon and went to the study room alone, where Elif was already waiting.
Seeing Lei Wen arrive, he said, “Your Highness, as you predicted, with the help of those Machop and Garbodor, our town has been completely built!”
“Not only that, but our artisans have also used the concrete manufactured by Garbodor to build a bridge across that great river, connecting to the opposite bank!”
Hearing this, Lei Wen nodded, thinking to himself, finally!
As he spoke, Elif placed a blueprint of the town on the table.
“This is the town map drawn for you by Miss Christina.”
Lei Wen looked down and saw that it clearly marked out the various areas of the town.
Raven City developed outwards from the City Hall as the center. The town center was mainly composed of Residential Areas, Commercial Areas, Barracks, Parks, Plazas, and Recreation Areas.
Areas such as Brick Kilns, Farmland, Pastures, and Orchards formed a ring around the entire town.
Benefiting from the advanced design concepts of Lei Wen and Elena.
The town still retained many facilities such as Gardens, trees, and lawns inside. These places were both beautiful and could support the survival of some Pokémon.
Of course, what pleased Lei Wen the most was the town’s underground sewer system.
Workers used the power of Sandshrew and Drilbur to excavate a very advanced drainage system beneath the town.
The entire town was divided into two parts.
One part was their current location, the east side of the great river.
The other part was on the plains on the opposite bank of the river, and the two areas were connected by a bridge.
“The people from the Royal City have also gradually moved into these new residences, and our town is currently estimated to accommodate five thousand people,” Elif said.
“Good!” Lei Wen took a deep breath. Now it was up to these commoners to develop themselves.
As far as he knew, after these days of getting along, some of the men and women of suitable age in the territory had developed very deep feelings for each other.
Some had even held simple weddings and moved in together under the witness of their parents.
He believed that it would not be long before a new life would be born in the territory.
Overall, Lei Wen was very satisfied.
Elif, standing beside him, seemed hesitant to speak: “Your Highness, should we build city walls?”
If war were to engulf this place, without city walls, the armies of the First Prince and the Second Prince would raze the entire town without obstruction.
Lei Wen also realized this problem.
After all, the current era was still the backward Middle Ages, and wars between humans still relied on cold weapons.
In such a situation, a sturdy city wall could often play a significant role.
There was relevant city wall technology on the Technology Tree, but Lei Wen had never unlocked it.
“Since that’s the case, then let them start building,” Lei Wen said in a deep voice.
“Understood, I will give the order for the construction team to continue building the Castle and the city walls,” Elif nodded.
Lei Wen fell into thought.
His two cheap elder brothers started recruiting troops last month, and now, war was likely to break out soon.
Time was running out for them.
After a moment of contemplation, Lei Wen said, “Elif, I might have to leave the territory for a while.”
Hearing this, Elif froze in place.
“Your Highness… what do you mean?!”
“I wonder if you’ve heard the legend of the Dragon God,” Lei Wen looked at Elif.
“Dragon God?” Elif looked confused.
Lei Wen grunted and said, “The Dragon God is a powerful Monster. One day, it suddenly split into two different dragon monsters. They are extremely powerful; one of them can easily destroy a country, and they will also assist those they recognize to ascend to the throne.”
“As far as I know, Eldest Brother and Second Brother have already gained the recognition of these two dragon monsters… so, with our current strength alone, it’s not enough.”
Elif immediately recalled the secret rumors he had heard in the Royal City that the First Prince and Second Prince had received help from a mysterious power!
“Your Highness…” Elif opened his mouth. If those two dragon monsters were truly that powerful, what would they do?
“Don’t worry, Elif. As far as I know, that legend is missing a part. It’s incomplete. In the true legend, besides those two dragons, there is also a third dragon.”
“Before I left the Royal City, I had already begun investigating, and it was only recently that I finally found its trace. It resides near Kagome Village. Only by gaining the recognition of that dragon can we truly have the power to contend with Eldest Brother and Second Brother,” Lei Wen said solemnly.
Hearing this, Elif’s eyes widened.
He immediately recalled that a few days ago, His Highness had sent Ai Wen to investigate information!
“I will need at least a month. Before I leave, I will arrange the future development direction of the territory. After that, everything will be entrusted to you,” Lei Wen said.
War might break out at any time, so it was best for them to make contact with Kyurem as early as possible.
Otherwise, if the Kingdom Army were to march on their gates, it would be too late.
“Your Highness… will this journey be dangerous?” Elif asked, his face full of worry.
Lei Wen smiled and said, “No need to worry, Victini will accompany me.”
If absolutely necessary, they could also use Victini’s psychic abilities to escape.
Elif didn’t know what to say. He knew that His Highness had made up his mind.
The Old Butler opened his mouth and finally said, “Your Highness, please be careful in all things!”
