[Satisfaction +100!]
[Satisfaction +100!]
As Draconis was training Dratini by the river, he suddenly received two notifications on his panel.
When Draconis clearly saw the words, he froze on the spot.
This was... satisfaction from those two Machoke?
Why so much? Draconis was truly surprised.
But then he thought, the situation of those two Machoke was quite special.
The environment they were in before was probably unimaginably harsh.
And when they arrived here, the two situations formed a sharp contrast, which made their satisfaction with this territory far exceed that of other villagers and Pokémon.
"I really have to thank the Machoke," Draconis murmured softly.
This further strengthened his belief that the path he was on was the correct one.
With these two hundred satisfaction points provided by the Machoke, plus the scattered points accumulated over the past few days, his current satisfaction had once again reached 362.
And now, he could unlock a new technology.
Draconis opened the technology panel and then set his sights on one of the technologies.
[Basic Shipbuilding: Unlocks manufacturing methods for some basic ships. Required: 300 satisfaction.]
Just right, he could unlock this technology now.
Now that Evan had discovered a village downstream, with a boat, they could travel there by river to trade with them.
They could also take a boat to the plain on the opposite bank of the river.
The big river next to the territory was very wide, and it was somewhat unrealistic to build a bridge across it with the materials they currently had.
And there were no professional bridge engineers... Therefore, the best way was to take a boat to the other side.
This way, they could build ranches on the other side and raise Pokémon like Mareep.
Draconis silently thought, "Unlock."
The next second, detailed shipbuilding techniques appeared in his mind.
"Now it's time to find someone to build a boat," Draconis thought.
He planned to ask Alfred in the evening if he had any suitable candidates.
"Alright, Dratini, that's enough for today!" Draconis paused Dratini's special training and went towards the Berry fields.
There, Snivy was using its Grass-type energy to help care for the fruit trees.
Not far away, the Shuckle from Shuckle's home curiously watched Snivy's actions on the ground.
Now that there was no danger in the territory, they had become bolder and dared to move around freely.
"How is it, Snivy? Did you feel your control over energy improved a bit today?" Draconis asked.
Snivy extended its hands, releasing green energy from them, continuously nourishing the tender saplings below.
Hearing Draconis's words, it responded proudly, "Snivy!" Of course!
Seeing this, Draconis grinned. He looked up at the sky; the sun was setting, and night was about to fall:
"It's getting dark, let's stop here for today! We'll continue tomorrow!"
Snivy stopped its actions and turned to return to Draconis's side.
Draconis originally wanted to reach out and hug it, but Snivy refused.
It walked ahead, arms crossed, with a mature expression on its small face that was unbefitting of its age.
Draconis: "..."
Sigh, what should a Trainer do if their Pokémon doesn't want to be affectionate?
Seeing no movement behind him, Snivy couldn't help but stop and look back.
"Snivy?"
"Coming, coming!"
Draconis let out a helpless sigh and then stepped forward to follow.
After dinner, Draconis went to the Lord's Hall as usual.
Alfred and Gerolt, among others, were already waiting there.
Seeing Draconis approach, Alfred immediately stepped forward to report:
"Your Highness Draconis, the new recruits' work has been arranged. With their addition, the work progress at the logging camp and the Mine has increased by nearly threefold."
"Not bad." Draconis was very satisfied with this result. As expected, population was the key factor in whether a territory could develop.
"Moreover, with Sir Gerolt's protection, our miners can now delve deeper into the Mine to extract ore. In addition to iron ore, a large amount of coal was transported back with the clay today!"
"Coal?" Draconis was a little surprised.
"That's right!" Alfred nodded excitedly. Now with coal, they would no longer have to worry about freezing in winter!
Draconis pondered and nodded, saying, "Tell Morik and the others that the brick kilns can start being built."
The speed of firing bricks with only one Fire-type Pokémon, Simisear, was too slow.
If there was a large brick kiln, they could put the shaped clay into it, use coal as fuel, and finally, ask Simisear to help light the fire.
This way, the territory could mass-produce bricks for building the town.
"Yes, Your Highness!" Alfred responded.
"Also, see if there are any people in the territory skilled in shipbuilding or bridge building. We need a bridge to go to the plain on the other side of the river," Draconis instructed.
"I will ask everyone," Alfred nodded.
"There's one more thing," Draconis added. "Try to trade with the village downstream. If traveling merchants visit in the future, remember to tell me; I have questions for them."
Traveling merchants had been to many places, and they were well-informed, so they would likely have heard news of Lacunosa Town.
Draconis was always a bit uneasy because there were no powerful Pokémon guarding the territory at the moment.
War could break out at any time. His two brothers had Zekrom and Reshiram; they also needed a Pokémon similar to the Black and White Dragons to help protect the territory.
Kyurem was naturally the best choice.
No matter what, he had to establish a good relationship with Kyurem first.
"Hmm, perhaps I can also establish contact with the Articuno on the snowy mountain..." Draconis mused.
However, that Articuno was elusive, and its exact location could not be determined.
Because ever since Cleveland was saved by Articuno last winter, he had repeatedly gone to the snowy mountain to track Articuno, wanting to see it again, but always without success.
"Understood, Your Highness," Alfred nodded gently.
"Hoo..." Draconis slowly exhaled a breath, then said, "That's all for today, everyone has worked hard!"
Everyone gradually withdrew, and Draconis also returned to his home.
However, as soon as he entered the door, he saw Dratini rubbing against the table leg again.
In a short while, another layer of dragon skin slowly shed from Dratini.
And Dratini's size had once again increased.
"Shedding again?" Draconis was a little surprised. Dratini's growth rate these days was unexpectedly fast!
Dratini looked over with innocent eyes.
"Woo..."
"You worked hard!" Draconis stepped forward and stroked Dratini's head.
In any case, shedding was a good thing for Dratini.
This meant that its internal life energy was constantly increasing.
Currently, Dratini's height was approximately 0.8 meters.
But in fact, the standard height for Dratini in the Pokédex was as high as 1.8 meters.
Judging by Dratini's habit of growing through continuous shedding, when it reaches the height listed in the Pokédex, the day of its evolution will probably arrive.
At that time, Dratini will transform from its juvenile stage into the mature Dragonair.
