[Your Conkeldurr shared the technology "Concrete" with your other people!]
[Concrete: Unlocks the manufacturing process for concrete, which can be used to build houses and bridges!]
Inside the Lord's exclusive office in the Town Hall, Draconis looked at the technology that suddenly popped up on the panel and was slightly stunned.
"Alfred, how are the Conkeldurr?" Draconis asked.
"Reporting, Your Highness, yesterday that group of Pokémon, led by Machoke, went to their residence and stayed there to rest," Alfred reported. "Early this morning, they seemed to have gone to the construction site with Machoke."
Hearing this, Draconis immediately understood what was going on.
It seemed the Conkeldurr had already understood the situation in the territory and began to actively try to integrate into this place.
This outcome was within Draconis's expectations.
Pokémon who were once slaves would not refuse a place that treated them kindly, viewing them as "people."
"Hmm, with the addition of these Conkeldurr and Machoke, the remaining projects in Nimbasa City should be completed very soon," Draconis thought to himself.
However, the number of residents in the territory was still too small, only three hundred people, which in some places was even less than a single village, leading to most areas of the town currently being empty.
This was also a problem—
Draconis couldn't help but start thinking about corresponding solutions.
The first: vigorously develop the city to attract people from other places to settle here.
The second: wait for war to break out, as many people would likely be displaced by the war; at that time, they could take the opportunity to receive these people to increase the territory's population.
The third: wait for the natural coupling of the people within the territory, commonly known as having children.
But no matter which method, none could be completed immediately in the short term.
Thinking of this, Draconis couldn't help but sigh.
Never mind, such things cannot be forced. Instead of dwelling on this matter, it's better to take this opportunity to see if there are any useful new technologies.
With the completion of the new city, the three major needs of food, clothing, and shelter were met. In just a few days, Draconis had gained tens of thousands of satisfaction.
He glanced at it; the current satisfaction balance was: 9730.
[Gathering] → Branch 1 [Basic Berry Cultivation] → [Advanced Berry Cultivation] → [Fertilizer Science] → [Plantation (Unlockable)]
→ Branch 2 [Basic Herbalism] → [Advanced Herbalism] → [Bandage Dressing (Unlockable)]
Branch 3 [Toilet] → [Bathhouse] → [Irrigation Canal (Unlockable)]
[Animal Husbandry] → [Basic Processing] → [Advanced Processing (Unlockable)] → [Messenger (Unlocked)] → [Pokémon Army Reform (Unlockable)]
[Fishing] → [Basic Shipbuilding] → [Advanced Shipbuilding (Unlockable)]
[Mining] → [Basic Ore Theory] → [Advanced Ore Theory (Unlockable)] → Branch 1 [Fortification (Unlockable)]
→ Branch 2 [Pottery (Unlockable)] → [Golett (Unsatisfied)]
Many new technologies appeared on the technology tree that could be unlocked.
Among them, with the completion of the bathhouse in the territory, the related [Bathhouse] technology on the technology tree panel was automatically unlocked.
In addition, Draconis also noticed that the [Messenger] technology was already in an unlocked state.
This was a technology that could train flying Pokémon like Pidove as messengers, which Evan had shared with him earlier.
Besides—
Draconis's gaze swept over the several technologies that could currently be unlocked.
[Plantation: Unlocks the planting, Gathering, and processing techniques for cash crops such as natural rubber, coffee, cocoa, and oil palm. Required for exchange: 1500 satisfaction.]
[Bandage Dressing: Unlocks the manufacturing technology for medical bandages and treatment techniques for some orthopedic and surgical diseases. Required for exchange: 1500 satisfaction.]
[Irrigation Canal: Unlocks related irrigation canal technology. This technology can introduce water sources into farmland through various channels, forming a water network system for extensive irrigation, which can effectively reduce the occurrence of floods. Required for exchange: 2000 satisfaction.]
[Pokémon Army Reform: Provides unified training methods for all Pokémon incorporated into the army. Required for exchange: 3000 satisfaction.]
Besides these, there was also a technology to create Pokémon like Golett and Golurk, but Draconis's current satisfaction was still a bit short.
"In that case, let's unlock some more useful moves first!" Draconis said.
Plantations could provide planting and processing methods for some cash crops. Whether it was rubber, palm oil, or cocoa beans, they all had great uses, but the only problem was that the territory did not have the seeds for these crops.
Bandage Dressing: When knights and Pokémon trained together, symptoms such as fractures and sprains often occurred. At such times, relying solely on potions was not enough. This technology could improve the medical level within the territory and play a significant role at certain times.
Irrigation canals were also very important. Currently, most of the fields in the territory were cultivated by the river, which was fine this season.
But in summer, extreme weather such as heavy rain could easily occur. Although there were moves like Sunny Day that could change the weather, Larvesta's current power could not change the weather 24 hours a day.
So this technology was also very important.
"In that case, let's unlock Bandage Dressing, Irrigation Canal, Pokémon Army Reform, and Pottery first!"
Draconis's thought moved slightly, and 7500 satisfaction was instantly deducted, leaving only 2230 satisfaction points.
Draconis planned to save these satisfaction points for now. Once he reached ten thousand, he would use them to unlock the [Golett] technology to see how Pokémon like Golett and Golurk were made.
If the manufacturing technique was simple, they could mass-produce these Pokémon. Whether for developing the territory or defending it, Golurk could play a significant role.
While thinking, Draconis wrote down the newly unlocked technologies on a piece of parchment and then handed it to Alfred, instructing him to take charge.
After completing his official duties, Draconis stood up and slowly sighed.
Next, he should go and train Dragonair and Servine.
They now knew the whereabouts of Kyurem. Before officially heading there, they had to raise their strength to a certain level, at least enough to protect themselves.
But just then, Draconis suddenly heard a commotion from the street outside.
"Hmm? What's going on?"
He was slightly startled, then walked to the window.
The next second, Draconis saw a large-scale team on the wide street.
That was—?
And at this moment, there was a sudden rush of footsteps from outside.
Alfred, who had just left, pushed open the door, his old face showing an extremely excited expression.
"Your Highness Draconis! People from the Royal City have arrived! His Majesty received our letter! His Majesty not only sent us many people but also sent Victini over!"
As soon as Alfred's words fell, Draconis heard a familiar yet unfamiliar Growl.
"Nini!"
