"Teaching skills?"
Draconis was slightly stunned.
Was he supposed to directly teach these skills to the residents of his territory?
At this moment, the panel once again displayed corresponding information, similar to a beginner's guide.
"Residents have more possibilities. By assigning residents to a specific production job, you can significantly increase their chances of understanding relevant skills!"
"At the same time, the Lord also has a certain chance to acquire skills shared by the villagers, thereby unlocking a certain technology in advance!"
This time, Draconis understood.
He didn't need to directly tell his Commoners how to do it; instead, he could send them to raise Combee. During this period, they would have a chance to comprehend the processing technology for honey, thereby becoming professional beekeepers.
Of course, if he chose not to teach, then this chance would not occur. As for whether the residents could comprehend it, that would purely depend on their insight and talent.
However, looking at the last sentence, Draconis couldn't help but twitch his brow.
This reminded him of a line from Civilization 6.
"Villagers have shared Controlled Nuclear Fusion Technology with you!"
This function was quite convenient.
After understanding this technology, Draconis turned his gaze to the "Animal Husbandry" above it, and the names of the Pokémon that could be raised.
Miltank could produce fresh milk, Tropius would bear Banana Berry, and the wool from Wooloo and Mareep was strong and warm, making it excellent material for clothing.
It's just... looking at the glaring three words "Groudon" at the very end, Draconis couldn't help but feel a bit speechless.
Could Groudon really be raised by humans?
"Groudon: The incarnation of the earth, possessing the power to make rain clouds disappear, evaporate moisture with strong light and high temperatures to expand the land. It once appeared as a savior to people suffering from floods, loves natural energy, expanding land, and seeing its rival Kyogre frustrated. Its goal is to defeat Kyogre, seize its oceans and convert them into land. Rearing difficulty: Hell."
Draconis: "..."
Undoubtedly, these legendary Pokémon listed later were just there to make up the numbers in the large group. Given their dignity and temperament, there was no way they could ever be raised by humans.
Regarding this point, Draconis was reminded of something Ghetsis once said.
"Even if they are called gods, they are still just Pokémon at the end of the day."
Perhaps this was why these legendary Pokémon were also included here?
However, more than Groudon, Draconis was more interested in understanding the rearing methods for Aron.
"Aron: Normally lives deep in the mountains. To forge a steel body to protect itself, it eats iron ore from the mountains, but occasionally appears at the foot of the mountains to eat bridges, railways, or vehicles, making it a troublesome Pokémon. Its favorite food is various metal ores. If a large amount of iron ore can be provided to Aron, it is easy to build a close relationship with it. In the past, some miners used Aron to help search for ores in the mountains. Rearing difficulty: Normal."
Aron, a Steel and Rock-type Pokémon, and its final evolution, Aggron, is a very powerful existence.
What's more interesting is that, to Draconis's knowledge, Aggron would claim an entire mountain as its territory.
And when its territory became barren due to landslides or forest fires, Aggron would continuously transport soil to the mountain, then personally plant saplings, cleaning up its territory beautifully.
What is this called? A fierce tiger sniffing a rose?
Even a giant monster has a heart for gardening.
Draconis actually quite liked this type of giant monster Pokémon. If he had the chance later, he would like to capture an Aron to raise.
Whether for guarding the territory or for gardening, it would be excellent.
As Draconis put away the panel, Dratini and the others had also finished their dinner.
Draconis had the maid clear the dishes, and after playing with Dratini for a while, Old Butler Alfred rushed over to report on the day's various affairs within the territory to Draconis.
With the completion of the wooden houses and the onset of heavy snow, the Commoners were temporarily idle, all staying indoors to endure the winter.
"...Your Highness, do you have any other tasks you need us to handle?" Alfred asked after reporting the situation.
Draconis shook his head: "Never mind, let everyone rest well for now. Other matters can wait until this winter is over!"
"Understood, Your Highness," Alfred responded. Seeing that there was nothing else, he prepared to leave, allowing His Highness Draconis to rest properly.
Draconis suddenly remembered something else. He called out to Alfred and said to him:
"Oh, there's one more thing."
"Please speak, Your Highness."
Draconis's expression was somewhat serious: "On this land, not only humans live here. If anyone encounters injured or hungry beasts outside, we must do our utmost to provide them help."
It wasn't just that he wanted to create a place where humans and Pokémon coexisted; it was also because their arrival had destroyed the habitats of many Pokémon.
Draconis felt that they had a responsibility to do this.
Hearing these words, Alfred was slightly taken aback, then nodded: "I understand, Your Highness."
After this period of interacting with the beasts, not only Alfred but most of the Commoners in the territory had realized one thing.
— Beasts, perhaps, were not as terrifying as they had imagined.
They were intelligent, possessed emotions, knew how to repay kindness, and would even fight other beasts to protect humans.
"I think everyone will be willing to do this," Alfred said.
Draconis nodded. Although he could wait for Dratini to evolve, ride a Dragonite to fly around the territory, and prove to everyone that beasts could be ridden by humans like this.
But these Commoners would only think he was powerful, and wouldn't believe they could do it too.
After all, these people had previously only lived as Commoners in the royal city. They were protected by tall, majestic city walls, and some people might never even come into contact with Pokémon in their entire lives; they could only hear about them from others.
It was precisely because of this that many of these Commoners still held very serious stereotypes about Pokémon.
Therefore, they must be allowed to see with their own eyes and personally interact with Pokémon to gradually change their perceptions.
"Your Highness, please rest well."
After relaying the tasks, Old Butler Alfred chose to take his leave.
Draconis was also a bit tired. After a simple wash, he went to bed and fell into a deep sleep, surrounded by Dratini and a host of other fluffy creatures.

At the same time, deep in the forest.
In the quiet snowy night, four or five Sneasel quietly hid themselves in the darkness. They were scattered throughout the forest, but their cunning and fierce eyes all looked in one direction.
If a Pokémon scholar were here, they would immediately recognize that these Sneasel were using teamwork to hunt prey under the cover of night.
In a clearing with bushes, a Snivy was cautiously moving forward.
A Blizzard was coming, and it had to find a hiding place first.
But just then, Snivy suddenly acutely sensed several ill-intentioned gazes lurking in the darkness.
It immediately became vigilant.
Seeing that they had been discovered, the Sneasel immediately launched their attack.
The next second, four or five Sneasel extended their cold, gleaming claws and leaped out of the darkness, simultaneously attacking Snivy from all directions.
