Manor Lord of the Elf World

Chapter 56 Three Digletts and the Farmland (Thanks to the generous patron, Meow Meow Meow!)
When Raven rushed to the farmland, he saw a small mound on the ground moving rapidly in the distance.

The knights of the Order of Knights are blocking the path of the bulge, trying to catch it.

But whenever they were about to get close to the bulge, the other party would nimbly change direction and quickly move to another place.

"hateful!"

One of the knights was so angry at the monster that it was destroying the fields that he stomped his feet on the spot.

The others tried to intercept the bulge in advance along its path, but they all failed miserably, not only catching no monster but also getting a humiliating defeat.

"Snivy, stop it!" Raven ordered in a deep voice.

"Teng Teng."

The Sniper calmly looked at the constantly moving bulge, and the next second, a thin, emerald green vine whip flew out from its neck.

The vine whip sliced ​​through the air, leaving a clear whistling sound.

With a whoosh, it struck the bulge precisely.

The bulge beneath the ground indeed stopped moving. The Pokémon underneath shook its body and then burst out of the ground, revealing its true form.

It was an unknown magical beast with three brown heads, each with a red nose.

That's... a three-legged hamster!

As soon as it emerged, the three-legged gopher immediately and accurately targeted the Snivy that had attacked it.

The mischievous gnomes immediately launched a counterattack, aiming at the sniffer snake and spitting out several clumps of dirty mud!
However, Snivy was very agile. The instant Diglett attacked, it calmly leaped up and landed on another open space.

“Vine whip,” Raven said again.

"Snivy." Snivy calmly replied, then sprinted straight toward Dugtrio not far away. A long, thin vine whip slashed through the air again, striking Dugtrio hard, delivering a triple strike.

"Clap clap clap!"

Outstanding effect!

The three-horned squirrel immediately cried out in pain. Seeing that it was no match for the enemy, the three-horned squirrel immediately tried to turn around and run away.

But how could the Snivy give it that chance?
He immediately used a grass knot to block its path and restrain it.

"We've finally caught you, you wretched fellow!" The knights rushed forward and surrounded the three moles.

Raven inspected the damage to the field and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that only a small area was damaged.

Raven stepped through the crowd and walked up to the gopher that was tightly entangled in a knot of grass.

The three-legged ground squirrel looked terrified. It tried to escape, but it was tightly entangled in a knot of grass and couldn't move. All it could do was squeak in panic!

"Your Highness Raven!" The knights made way for Raven as he approached.

Lei Wenchong nodded slightly to the group, then turned his gaze to the three ground squirrels in front of him.

Dugtrio, the mole Pokémon, is a Ground-type Pokémon that usually lives in dark underground environments and rarely comes to the surface.

In that distant future, this Pokémon will be carefully cultivated by many farmers because Dugtrio's passage will properly turn the soil, and its droppings will make the soil more fertile, making it the most suitable land for cultivation.

However, wild tricorns often cause considerable damage to fields and farmers because they eat the vegetables growing in the fields.

A Pokémon that helps the territory, and the damage it causes to the fields can be avoided as long as Dugtrio is provided with enough food.

Raven began to consider recruiting him.

But he remained expressionless, even somewhat serious.

"Gopher, you've destroyed our fields! These crops are our only food left!"

"That's right, that's too much!"

"Your Highness, do not let this demonic beast escape!"

The knight and the farmer standing nearby echoed this sentiment.

"Squeaky!!!"

Upon hearing this, the three-horned mouse was startled. It quickly and pitifully explained that it didn't mean it; it hadn't eaten much all winter and was just too hungry!

“We can’t let you off so easily.” Raven’s expression was serious. “You have to do something to make up for our losses.”

“Woo!” That’s right! The Dratini chimed in from the side.

"Luckily we found it early! If we had been any later, you would have destroyed the entire field, and without food, everyone in our territory would have starved to death here!" A farmer said, his face filled with lingering fear.

Hearing this, the three mole rats seemed somewhat deflated.

"Squeak..."

It glanced at the expressions of the people around it and couldn't help but feel a pang of guilt.

"Squeak..."

It didn't mean to hurt anyone; it just wanted to find something to fill its stomach... Seeing that the atmosphere was just right, Raven finally spoke up: "We can let it go if you want."

"Squeak?" The three ground squirrels quickly looked up.

“You must remain in this territory and work for me with your power until you make amends for the harm you have caused us,” Raven said.

"Your Highness?" Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned.

Even the three ground squirrels were somewhat incredulous.

Raven, however, seemed to have expected this, and said:

"If I'm not mistaken, you should be quite good at loosening the soil and tilling the land, right? Next, we need you to help us reclaim the land and till the soil to make up for our losses. What do you think?"

The three-horned hamster was a little down, but what else could it do at this moment?

"Squeak..."

The next second, Raven received a notification that the three Digletts had become members of the territory.

Pokémon: Dugtrio

[Attribute: Ground]

[Gender: Female]

【Characteristic: Sand Hole】

[Moves: Grab, Sand Throw, Shout, Triple Attack, Till the Ground, Mud Throw]

[Friendliness: 0]

[House's resume: In the 146th year of the Kingdom Calendar, the ground rat was born.]

In the year 148 of the Kingdom Calendar, the Diglett evolved into the Triple Diglett during hibernation.

In the year 149 of the Kingdom Calendar, the Three-Earth Rat, feeling guilty and wanting to make up for the damage he had caused, decided to stay in the territory to help with the work and repay the losses.

Raven: "..."

Why do I feel inexplicably sorry for this dwarf hamster and think it's so innocent?

Ultimately, it can't be entirely blamed on it. After all, the dugong must have been very hungry after hibernating all winter, which is why it came to the ground to look for food and ended up eating their crop seedlings by mistake.

Thinking of this, Raven softened his tone and said, "Since you're willing to take responsibility for your mistake, we'll forgive you for now!"

"Also," Raven said, looking at a knight, "go and fetch some tree fruit and some tree roots."

Although the knight was puzzled, he still turned around and went to carry out his mission.

Soon, he returned here with a few pomelos and tree roots.

The pomelos were picked from the wild, and the tree roots were waste materials removed when the trees were cut down.

Raven placed the tree roots and fruits in front of the three gophers and said, "Eat up, you'll have the energy to work when you're full."

"Squeak squeak..." The three ground squirrels looked at the food in front of them in disbelief.

Raven continued, "As payment for your work, we will provide you with this kind of food every day."

"Squeak..." The three mole rats paused for a moment, then a bright light flashed in their eyes: "Squeak!"

"Your Highness..."

Seeing this, several farmers felt something was amiss, and their faces were full of worry.

Ultimately, they are just magical beasts. What if they turn around and secretly eat the crops in the fields again?
Raven reassured the group with his eyes, patiently waiting for the three groundhogs to finish eating before speaking:
"Gopher, let me see your strength. Can you till the land?"

"Squeak!"

Having filled its belly, the three ground squirrels felt full of energy.

The next second, a burst of energy erupted from its body, and the earth rippled like waves.

The once flat land became uneven and pitted under the influence of this force, and then the three ground squirrels began to move forward with great effort.

The land it passed through was completely plowed up, and the originally hard soil became soft and full of life.

The three gophers moved quickly, and in just a few minutes, the wasteland in front of them was transformed into a vibrant field!

The farmers present all stared in disbelief at this scene.

What... what on earth is going on?!
Raven smiled slightly.

Till, a Ground-type move, turns over soil to make it easier for grass and trees to grow, and it can also increase the Attack and Special Attack of Grass-type Pokémon.

With this trick, they can farm more quickly and conveniently. More importantly, the nutrients in the soil can make crops grow faster and better.
