Ultra: Dark Shadow Mage, Founding a Magic Empire

Chapter 15 The legacy of another civilization, shadow magic!

An exploration team soon gathered in front of Norman and others.

Following Norman and others, they walked forward. As they walked, the leader introduced the general situation to Norman.

"Your Majesty, we have explored here before. This is a highland plain, about 3 square kilometers."

"At the edge of this high plain is a cliff. We found a waterfall flowing downwards, but we couldn't see the boundary. It is likely to be a mountain peak more than a thousand meters high."

"There are no living things in this area anymore. We didn't find any living things. There are only ruins and remains, but the remains are very well preserved."

Norman nodded as he listened to the introduction, then took Caitlin and the Iron Guards to explore the surroundings.

Just as the leader of the exploration team reported, Norman felt carefully and indeed felt no signs of life.

Compared to the Blue Star which had only been in darkness for a year, the world before us had already sunk into darkness and fallen into eternal silence.

"Go and take a look inside those ruins."

Norman let the exploration team lead the way.

The exploration team is particularly professional, not only because of Norman's active training and guidance, but also because Blue Star itself has such a foundation.

The Blue Star is different from the Earth, but because it has more land and a unique magnetic field, it has created many geological wonders.

For the people of the Blue Star, those geological wonders are God's masterpieces. As long as they are buried in them, they can receive God's blessing and ensure that their dynasty's power will last forever.

For a while, Norman was in the same embarrassing situation as Boss Cao, so...

Ahem, I made a little attempt to imitate it~
Closer to home.

After development, the exploration techniques have long been perfected, so as long as it is still human-sized, there will actually be no difficulty even in excavating an alien civilization.

The exploration team led the way, lighting torches along the way to prevent getting lost, and then introduced the structure of the place to Norman and others.

"Your Majesty, this is undoubtedly a magical civilization!"

"And the experience of this civilization is similar to ours. Before they disappeared, they left behind some special magic and some translation methods!"

"Director Allen has discovered many documents that have never been weathered. We are currently deciphering the text on them. I believe it won't be long before we can completely decipher them and learn about this civilization!"

"Your Majesty, look."

The leader pointed to the mural in front and said, "This is the center of the ruins. There is an altar in the back, and there are many runes painted on the murals here."

"These runes are the same as the ones we found. They can all be activated with magic power!"

"So we have a bold guess. It is very likely that our civilization came from here! Some people once went to the Blue Planet through a magic portal!"

"I see. It seems possible."

Norman nodded, because those runes were not only found in the territory of the Black Kingdom, but also in other areas!

So this speculation is very likely, but it still needs further confirmation.

If these documents and runes can match the text of the Blue Star, then the origin of the Blue Star's civilization may really come from here!

But if that's the case, then wouldn't it be a bit...

Joke from hell?

Norman walked forward and gently stroked the runes on the wall.

The runes here all carry a faint magical power. Even after a long time, this trace of magical power still protects these runes and stone carvings. It is precisely because of the magical power here that they have not completely disappeared in history.

After passing this mural, the altar that the tour guide mentioned is behind it.

It looks like a simple three-layer earth platform, but it is covered with runes and magic array patterns similar to blood magic.

The inheritance of the Sons of Night was not systematic, only the method of using blood magic, but no deeper principles. Norman's inheritance was relatively complete, with all the blood magic, magic circles, blood alchemy, etc. of the Sons of Night bloodline, but there was still no systematic way of learning from childhood to adulthood, usually just a little bit of learning here and there.

But on this altar, Norman saw numbers, or symbols, used for division.

From one to nine, and then there are specific classifications, as if they correspond to something.

"Have you found the corresponding objects for these symbols?" Norman asked.

The leader nodded excitedly, "As expected of you, Your Majesty! We spent a long time looking for it before we found it!"

"Yes, there is a library deep in the ruins. The altar corresponds to the division of books in the library!"

"That is to say, there is a complete set of magic inheritance here?"

"That's right!"

"very good."

Norman was also very happy after hearing this, "I didn't expect that I would inherit the heritage of an entire civilization here!"

Norman said as he walked up to the altar and looked carefully at the magic patterns on it.

These array patterns spread upward from under the altar and finally converged at the center of the altar, forming a palm-like pattern.

Norman looked at it and slowly squatted down, pressing his palm on the pattern.

"Your Majesty, are you curious too? We tried it before, but there was no reaction. It should be some kind of... huh?"

As soon as the team leader explained, he was shocked by the scene before him and was speechless.

Because after Norman placed his hand on the pattern and released the power of his ancestral bloodline of the Son of Night, the altar actually glowed!
The blood-red magic power unique to blood magic spread downward from the direction of the palm pattern and quickly spread throughout the entire altar.

In an instant, the altar turned blood red!

The light coming out from above also turned into a layer of gray mist.

Norman, shrouded in mist, also disappeared from everyone's sight!
"His Majesty!!"

Caitlin screamed and jumped out, but just as she was about to step onto the altar, she heard Norman's voice.

"It's okay, don't worry, it's the magic hidden in this altar."

Norman waved his hand to remove the magic power, and the gray mist dissipated, replaced by a dark and precipitous feeling.

Norman was still standing there, but with a book in his hand.

At the same time, the system prompt sounded in his mind.

[Ding! Absorb the new magic system - Shadow Magic! Fantasy route takes effect! Get reward: Dark Magic! ]

Shadow magic, this is the name given to this magic system by the system.

Very appropriate and suitable.

After obtaining this inherited magic book, Norman also learned the name of this civilization - Shadow Moon.

Somewhat different from their previous speculation, the world where this civilization existed had been semi-dark from the very beginning.

There is only one dim dark star in their star system.

Dark stars, also known as brown dwarfs, are known as "failed stars" because they do not have enough mass to become burning stars.

The light was dim, just a hazy layer.

The destruction of this civilization was actually caused by a supernova explosion...
