Elf Lord, intelligence updated daily.

Chapter 105: Conferring Official Titles and Nobility! Marrying the Queen!
Loren tamed the seaweed fairy and named it Manaphy.

Wild, powerful Pokémon like Manaphy are very rare to encounter.

The success rate of Pokémon evolution is extremely low.

If they are not discovered and contracted by humans, they will almost always die when the Pokémon evolves into a Pokémon.

Manaphy's ability to evolve autonomously is enough to prove how strong its vitality is.

Elves generally have harmonious relationships with each other.

After entering the Elf Ring, Manaphy quickly became friends with the elves.

Of course, those three little elves—wheat, rye, and barley—truly became inseparable.

The little elves showed obvious affection for the new big elf.

This is a characteristic of the Elf species.

Fran was also very friendly to Manaphy, and even took the initiative to teach it to sing.

Unfortunately, Manaphy wasn't interested in singing.

Through her incarnation, Manaphy sensed the presence of the Elf Queen.

Loren was right after all!
It was very curious: when would it be able to meet the Elf Queen?

In mid-November, the Elf Queen arrived in Sandstone Town.

Loren summoned a group of small fairies, and two large fairies welcomed them.

At the same time, it also serves as a reminder to Seruccia that with so many Pokémon evolving, it's time to give him some Pokémon Bugs!
Serusia noticed Manaphy, "You've captured another new Great Spirit?"

"Yes, it's called Manaphy, the seaweed fairy."

Manaphy excitedly moved closer to Serusia to express her affection.

Celucia reached out and gently touched Manaphy's head, her gaze tender.

There are no rewards for capturing wild Pokémon; you have to raise them yourself.

"I thought His Majesty had forgotten about this," Loren said sarcastically.

Serusia glared at him fiercely.

"Let's go check out the new territory first, and I'll cast an elven blessing."

"Okay, Your Majesty!"

First is the Centaur Village.

Under Danny and Mali's leadership, the villagers of Centaur Village were very obedient.

They have begun building castles and cultivating farmland.

The land of Centaur Village is fertile, and the dense forest to the north of the village can even nurture dreamlike spirits like Lilia.

If you apply the blessing of the spirits, you will surely be able to breed many spirit insects in the future.

As the Elf Queen arrived, a light rain began to fall over the Centaur Village.

The drizzle contains abundant spiritual power, and the land after the rain is full of vitality.

Is this the blessing of the elves?

"Is this the end?"

"if not?"

"Your Majesty, won't casting a blessing on the land deplete your magic?"

Serusia shook her head. "No."

She couldn't be bothered to explain to Loren the source of the blessing's power.

Next are the Cat and Dog Village and the Snake Man Village.

After casting the blessing, Serusia reminded, "Territories that have received the elven blessing must be well protected, lest they be taken away by the orc tribes."

The elves are the foundation of the elf kingdom and must never be shaken.

Finally, there's the boarman territory.

Compared to the other three orc villages, the quilboar territory covers a larger area.

There are at least tens of thousands of wild boar people living in this territory.

After losing their territory, the boar people decided to revolt.

They pose no threat to the Elf Kingdom.

However, once a conflict occurs, it will not only affect nearby territories, but also make future construction work difficult to carry out.

They learned that the Elf Queen and the new lord had arrived.

The boar-men, who were preparing to rise up, rushed to the entrance to intercept them.

They will never become slaves of the Elf Kingdom!
Even if King El has already died.

Even if I cannot escape death today.

They would never betray the orc tribe!
The Boarmen will never be slaves!
Upon entering the territory, Loren unleashed a powerful burst of fiery battle aura, repelling the rioting boar horde.

These boar-men were not strong and were no match for the Earth Knight.

Arriving at the center of the territory with Celucia, Loren shouted a message.

"The hardworking and brave boarmen, the great elven queen has killed the tyrannical King El and overthrown his rule."

From now on, you will no longer have to live such a miserable life of not having enough to eat!
His Majesty is considerate of your feelings and has even gone so far as to visit your territory in person.

Look at this beautiful and kind queen!
"Do you really have the heart to continue this rebellion?"

Loren's voice echoed throughout the entire territory.

Many boar-men looked toward Serusia.

The beautiful aura that Celucia possessed quickly calmed them down.

Loren continued shouting.

I know your concerns and understand your worries.

Because I also started from a lowly serf and worked my way up to become the lord of this territory, the Earl of the Earldom!

Each of you carries the same potential!

The Elf Queen glanced at Loren silently, her heart filled with longing.

He spouts nonsense without warning, making it sound like the truth...

"Believe me, the Elf Queen is definitely not a cruel tyrant."

She cares deeply for the people of the Elf Kingdom, even if you come from the Orc tribe.

Now, lay down your weapons and offer your loyalty, and one day you will all be able to live a good and happy life!
From now on, you only need to do three things: farm! Farm! And farm some more!

Work hard in the fields, and you'll have no worries about food and clothing!
Work hard in the fields and escape slavery!
Work hard in farming, and you'll be promoted and granted titles!
Work hard at farming, and you'll marry the Queen!

Celucia couldn't stand it anymore and kicked Loren.

Loren coughed lightly, "Sorry, I accidentally said what was on my mind..."

The many boar-men looked at each other, discussing amongst themselves.

No one dared to easily believe Loren's words, but what else could they do besides believe them? Did they really have to fight Loren and the Queen to the death?
Even when it comes to the moment of giving their lives, they still hesitate.

Especially after hearing Loren's vision of a promising future, no one wanted to die easily.

"Her Majesty the Queen is about to bestow her blessing upon the Boarmen territory."

From this day forward, all offspring born on this land will receive the blessings of the spirits.

Freed from slavery and becoming a nobleman, one might even be able to contract with precious spirit insects in the future.

Now, it's your turn to make a choice.

Take up arms and fight to the end.

Or lay down your weapons and offer your loyalty!

As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of a weapon falling to the ground rang out.

Many boar-men knelt down and chose to submit.

Their resistance stemmed from their fear that the boar people had no future.

It's better to fight to the death than to be a slave for life.

But Loren's words gave them hope.

Submitting to the Elf Kingdom might not be a bad choice.

Loren's words contained lies, but on the most fundamental matters, he did not deceive the boarmen.

If they had worked hard at farming, their lives would never have been so miserable.

If you behave well enough, there is indeed a chance to escape slavery.

The Elf Queen bestowed an elven blessing upon the Boarmen's territory.

Loren summoned the chieftain of his territory.

"What's your name?"

"Reporting to the lord, my name is Zhu Tong."

"For the next period of time, you will be in charge of managing many affairs of the territory. Your task is to cultivate farmland. I will find someone to assist you in carrying out the construction work of the territory."

"Yes!"

Loren first assigned the tasks.

At least for the time being, the boar people's territory will not be invaded by foreign enemies.

Celucia also needs to go to other territories to bestow blessings.

After arranging the work, Loren had already left.

The promised sprite bug reward still hasn't been given.

Even with the cooperation of the orc tribes, the construction of their territory still takes a considerable amount of time.

Until a suitable lord is found, Loren can only let the local chieftain or village headman be in charge of management.

Upon returning to Sandstone Town, Loren arranged for his knights to travel to various territories to transplant thorny elms.

There are plenty of thorny elms in Tieling.

However, transporting goods by horse-drawn carriage takes some effort.

In particular, the Boarman territory is quite far from Sandstone Town.

Unfortunately, this territory requires special defense.

Once the thorny elm transplantation is complete, a natural defensive line will be established in the boarman territory.

Cordyceps, when combined with red elm, can protect the territory of the Wild Boar Man.

If Red Elm evolves into a Great Elm, even an army led by an orc chieftain would not be able to break through the Thorn Elm walls.

Only after strengthening the defenses of his territory could Loren confidently develop his farmland.

The boarman territory and the three orc villages cover a large area.

With a sufficient labor force, Loren will harvest a large number of elf insects in the future.

First, cultivate the land well, and then expand into other industries.

The environment of the snake-man village is dark, damp, and cold, making it perfect for building a haunted house.

If you put some small snakes in the haunted house, you can catch a few ghosts later if you have the chance.

Cat and Dog Village has many gentle and lovely cat girls and dog girls.

I'll open a foot massage parlor or a bathhouse sometime, a legitimate business.

The dense forest outside Centaur Village is intricate and complex, enough to build a forest maze.

Loren has made plans that take into account the local characteristics, and the future of the Elven Earldom is promising.

In the afternoon, Viscount Hermon from the East Coast and Viscount Quinn from the Seaport City both came to visit Sandstone Town.

They only learned today that the East Coast, along with Haikou City, had been incorporated into the Elven Earl's Territory.

Loren has become the lord of the new Earldom.

“Count Loren, we only received the news today and came here specifically to celebrate. We hope Your Excellency will not be angry.”

Loren waved his hand.

He doesn't have time to care about such trivial matters.

The two viscounts sent congratulatory gifts, which were not of high value, but were full of goodwill.

"Lord Loren is truly a young man of great talent. To become an earl at such a young age, I hope you will take good care of me in the future."

"If Your Excellency has any needs, please feel free to give us your orders, and we will be there at your beck and call."

After a few casual words, Loren saw the two viscounts off.

After being promoted to earl, they became even more respectful to Loren.

After that, Loren continued to devote himself to the study of magic.

He discovered that illusion spells, though seemingly unoffensive, often had unexpected effects in actual combat.

Of course, the focus of the research remains on plant growth.

The current focus of cultivation is on red elm.

As the main defensive force, it must evolve into a powerful spirit as soon as possible.

Currently, there are several types of elm trees, including common elm, thorny elm, fast-growing thorny elm, and flame thorny elm.

Even with hybridization, it is difficult to cultivate more high-quality varieties.

Inferior breeds don't improve your Pokémon much, so breeding them is pointless.

In the past, hybridization breeding was mainly aimed at different varieties of the same type of plant.

Next, Loren decided to go a step further and study whether different types of plants could hybridize.

This is difficult to achieve under normal circumstances.

But he's a wizard, anything is possible!
