Ultra: Dark Shadow Mage, Founding a Magic Empire

Chapter 18 Magic System, Bloodline Upgrade

"God! It's really God!"

When Norman flew across the sky on a blue dragon and brought the warriors of the Noldor tribe to the next tribe, the tree people of this tribe knelt down on the ground.

Nodok announced the law of "God", allowing them to join the Black Kingdom and become the people of the Black Kingdom.

This is why Norman wanted to give Nodok ancestral blood and give him inheritance.

If the tree people from other tribes were simply incorporated into the Noldor tribe, the powerful tree people tribes among them would most likely rebel.

After all, it's a merger. Why not a weak tribe like you join my powerful tribe?
But if at this moment there is a foreign force that is stronger and more advanced than them, and that fits their myths and legends, then their acceptance will immediately double, and they will easily accept the request to join.

The initial reception went smoothly.

But soon, a little accident happened...

"We are the heirs of our great ancestors! God, I sincerely hope that you can form an alliance with us according to the ancient covenant, grant us status and power, and teach us the great magic."

The tree man, wearing a crown-like ornament and with an arrogant look on his face, spoke fluent Shadowmoon language and made a request to Norman.

This is the leader of the largest tribe in the northern swamp.

He was unwilling to join, but demanded that Norman give them status and power, and that Norman share magic with them.

It was ridiculous, Norman didn't know what to say.

But soon, the Iron Guard solved this ridiculous problem for Norman.

In front of the powerful Iron Guards, this patriarch who wanted to do some weird things was just a small splash.

After the entire continent calmed down, Norman returned to Shadow Highlands.

After being strengthened, all citizens of the Black Kingdom are superhumans. In other words, they are all super workers who can do the work of twenty people previously!
Just one year later, Shadow Highlands has been completely transformed.

Except for the central library and palace, the rest of the place is newly built facilities, including meeting halls, government centers, residential areas, industrial areas, agricultural areas, comprehensive education areas, etc.

"Why are there still agricultural areas?" Norman asked.

Edward was silent for a long time before he said, "Director Allen got the wrong blueprint. I wasn't here, and it was already built when I came. But according to Nodok's research, we can grow magic mushrooms there. Eating them can directly increase magic power through the digestive system."

"I see. Then let's take those rebellious tribes over to grow mushrooms. They're all black, so there shouldn't be any problem."

"All black? Yes, sir."

Edward was about to turn around and leave when he suddenly thought of something. He turned back to look at Norman and asked, "Your Majesty, what if they say they can't do it?"

"Can't do it?"

Norman put down the architectural diagram in his hand and said, "Do I need to teach you? It just so happens that Blue Star is short of labor force. Didn't Nodok say that tree people can grow from the ground? Let's give it a try."

Edward: ...

If you don’t know how to farm, then just plant it in the fields, right?
Your Majesty, it is still the same as always...

"Yes."

Edward left, and Norman looked at the diagram again, then walked towards the library.

As he walked, Norman thought about the question just now and couldn't help shaking his head.

He wants to lead his people to live a better life, but who cares about those guys who are not his people and who make unreasonable demands?
Not farming directly on the land means I am already being...kind.

Well, very kind.

Arriving at the library, Norman prepared to systematically study shadow magic and at the same time summarize and memorize the dark magic.

Norman came to the top of the library, where there was an experimental site, which was specially used to test the level of magic. The level of magic was different from the power level planned by the system.

Shadow Star's classification of magic is very simple, directly divided into nine levels from low to high.

Stages one to three are comparable to the surface level, capable of being extraordinary, able to fight an entire region on their own, able to deal with common monsters, but unable to destroy a city.

The fourth and fifth levels are equivalent to the planetary level, which is the extraordinary and forbidden level of magic. They can destroy a city at will but cannot leave the planet at will.

At that time, most of the great magicians of Shadow Star were around level four or five.

The sixth and seventh levels are on par with the interstellar level, but apart from the first few great magicians recorded in history, no one has ever reached that level in subsequent records!
The eighth stage is comparable to the super-large galaxy level. At this level, it is already a legendary existence.

It is an existence that has no historical records and only exists in the imagination of Shadow Star Magic. It is an existence that can be called the God of Magic.

The ninth level that follows is equivalent to the single universe level, and is the creator imagined by the Shadow Star magicians, the legendary supreme magician who created the universe.

This is the limitation of a home planet civilization.

They were unable to leave their home planet, nor were they able to cultivate their magic to the level necessary to explore other dimensions beyond their home planet.

Therefore, they cannot know about the existence of higher levels and can only rely on imagination.

Of course, if it reaches the level of a single universe, it may not be just imagination. Maybe they have seen Noah?
The dark magic rewarded by the system is also graded according to the divisions of the Shadow Stars. In other words, the system recognizes the feasibility of this classification, and the legendary eighth and ninth levels do exist!
Norman started learning magic seriously from the first level.

There are more than one hundred kinds of shadow magic from the first to the fifth level. After removing some with duplicate properties and abilities, there are less than fifty left.

Compared to the shadow magic which is only up to the fifth level, the dark magic rewarded by the system has a full nine levels, which is more complete than the shadow magic.

On the other hand, the blood inheritance of the Son of Night brought into this magic system only has fifth-level magic.

In other words, the upper limit of the growth of the Night's Son bloodline is only to the planetary level at most.

It doesn't mean that it will limit Norman's growth, but after surpassing the planetary level, it will not be able to provide Norman with effective help and bonuses.

Norman took out the Song of Shadows, a book of inheritance that recorded all the magic. Combining it with the theoretical knowledge in the library, Norman finally selected the magic that suits him.

49 in total.

There are 7 first-level magics, 13 second-level magics, 20 third-level magics, 6 fourth-level magics, and 3 fifth-level magics.

At the same time, Norman integrated the study of dark magic and picked out five first-order dark magics.

Start learning from the first level of magic.
The shadow magic chosen are: Shadow Arrow, Shadow Cloak, Shadow Aura, Roar of Fear, Shadow Barrier, Shadow Medium, and Shadow Ninja.

The dark magics chosen are: Dark Aura, Dark Wave, Dark Shock, Corrupted Telekinesis, and Dark Blessing.

After combining these twelve magic spells, Norman began to engrave the runes.

Magic can be released directly through blood, through rune construction, or through alchemical artifacts.

Rune construction is similar to chanting. Runes can be used to draw on magical power to release magic. To an outsider, it seems like just a matter of raising your hand.

The release of blood means that the magic circle of that magic has been engraved into the blood, so it can be directly released through one's own magic.

Alchemical artifacts are released, such as the Song of Shadow, which is a fifth-level super alchemical artifact engraved with all shadow magic and can be released instantly at will.

What Norman has to do is to engrave all these twelve magic spells into his blood!

When the twelve first-level magic inscriptions were completed, something strange happened.

His bloodline, under the transformation and infusion of magic power - evolved!
