Ultra: Dark Shadow Mage, Founding a Magic Empire

Chapter 31: Serving the Country
A group of well-dressed nobles sat around a round table.

This was once the prince's palace. After the death of the prince who was powerful, suppressed the Normans and wanted the Normans to abdicate, the palace was abandoned and sold, and became the meeting hall for the old meritorious nobles.

They also all had their bloodlines awakened because they were loyal to the Black Kingdom.

But their loyalty to Norman is somewhat ambiguous.

This not only prevented them from entering the core circle of power, but also because they were not loyal enough, the power of their own bloodline was very weak, and it was difficult for them to learn magic.

This has led to them being looked down upon, but they just think that it is a matter of personal talent.

After all, there are many people in their family who have learning talents and have been admitted to scientific and technological institutions.

And now, they have obtained priority trading rights.

This was a gesture of goodwill towards these old meritorious nobles after consultation with the cabinet.

But for these feudal landlords who had previously relied mainly on slavery, this was a sign of fear for the Cabinet and Parliament!

"Everyone, I think you all know why we are sitting here today, right?"

Sitting in the most powerful position is Chat Mantes, the current head of the former Prime Minister's family, the Mantes family, who is also the son of the Prime Minister of Norman's father's generation.

The nobleman who asked Alice in the Hollow Team was his son, Dieter Mantes!

And two days ago, the two theories that the cabinet was discussing were proposed by Dieter!
"Of course! Your son is really outstanding. These two theories will greatly support what we do!"

"Yes, yes! In this way, we only need to mobilize those unruly people and make them accept these things. Then we can act accordingly and don't have to care about what the cabinet says!"

Everyone praised Dieter.

But there was a young man in the corner who, after hearing their discussion, silently shook his head and quietly retreated...

"They were still praising you, why did you come out?"

"I just came back and saw this. I'm so upset that I can't stay here any longer."

The young man shook his head, looked up at the dark sky, and sighed, "Your Majesty once said that people with different paths cannot work together. I don't know if my path is the same as yours, but I will definitely not work with these guys."

This young man was none other than Dieter Mantes who had just returned from the Hollow Earth!
The person who was talking to him was his cousin, Lanster Free, the fourth of the Twelve Sacred Founding Families of the old meritorious nobles, the second son of the Kingdom Shield Free family.

At the same time, he is also the least welcome one in the Free family, an "outsider" who is neglected and has no contact with the dirty affairs of the Free family.

Lanster smiled and asked, "Did you see any dragon-shaped monsters when you went to the Earth's Hollow this time?"

"I'm still a student. I can't get down from the edge."

"Well, are these doctrines you are talking about really what His Majesty once said?"

"Even you don't believe me anymore?"

"Not really. I went to the library and saw that it was there, but it was just a few words."

Lanster said: "If you can come up with a complete theory with just a few words, then you are really amazing."

"If I say that all this is what your majesty wants, do you believe it?"

"Since you got it from your majesty, why do you still need to speak up for these guys?"

Lanster's tone suddenly changed.

Although he was clearly within the coverage of the fire magic circle, at that moment, Dieter felt a biting cold!

This level of low temperature is even comparable to that of a blue dragon!
It reminded Dieter of the chill that rose from the depths of his soul when he first saw the blue dragon.

"Did your ice magic work?"

Dieter narrowed his eyes slightly, he didn't expect that his cousin actually succeeded!

"It was just luck." Lanster looked at Dieter, and seeing that Dieter's expression remained the same, he dispersed the magic power he had gathered.

He became lazy again, sitting on the steps and looking at the brightly lit streets in the distance, and sighed: "Times are changing quickly, aren't they?"

"When we were young, a star went out. It was only because Your Majesty received the revelation that we were able to survive. Ten years have passed. Two years ago, we were still hiding in coffins and taking turns sleeping. Now we can live on the surface again."

"Even with the help of magic, we can still live the same as before the sun went out." "It's really unimaginable."

"So...never mind, I should go now."

Dieter hesitated to speak, finally shook his head and walked down the stairs.

"Where are you going?" Lanster asked.

"Go to the meeting room. I received a summons when I came back from the Hollow in the Earth's Center. Today is the day for the meeting."

"Really? Then you have to behave well."

"hope so."

"I'm leaving too." Lanster said.

"Where are you going?" Dieter asked.

"The magic school has located the coordinates and successfully opened the portal. I volunteer to join the exploration team."

Hearing this, Dieter turned to look at Lanster, frowned slightly and said, "That's very dangerous."

Lanster smiled and said, "I heard that the sun there has not gone out. I hope my mother can see the sun again. She has been talking about it all the time."

"But everything over there is unknown. If you go there, you might..."

"Just serving the country."

Lanster interrupted, "Besides, if we all indulged ourselves, we wouldn't be alive today!"

"Yeah."

Dieter withdrew his hand again without comment.

"Don't you think so too, my dear cousin?"

Lanster stood up and walked over, patted Dieter on the shoulder, and then walked straight to the Science and Technology Bureau.

"Who knows."

Looking at Lanster's back, Dieter muttered something in a voice that only he knew.

After saying this, Dieter turned around, turned his back to Lanst, and strode towards the meeting room, where a "battle" was waiting for him!
But at this moment, he was no longer worried or afraid.

Just like Lanster said, it's just serving the country, why think so much?

……

somewhere in the universe.

A signal flew in the universe for a long time, and was ejected by a star's turn, heading towards a planet that was completely plunged into darkness and drifting in the universe.

As the signal entered the planet, a pair of scarlet eyes opened.

"Di Si Lei Mu, dead."

The voice of the wise and evil alien Mefilas was heard, and then the powerful general Grozam, the frozen star, and the evil general Bogaru also opened their eyes.

"How is this possible? Dithrem went directly to the Kingdom of Light? He's not that stupid, is he?" Grozam said.

"It's hard to say, but it would be a pity if it died. It's better for me to eat it." The evil Bogaru patted his stomach in dissatisfaction.

"I don't know, but His Majesty has ordered us to bring the army over."

Mefilas put his hands behind his back and said coldly: "No matter who killed Disrem, it is a provocation to His Majesty the Emperor!"

"Only darkness and destruction can wash away this shame!"

"No matter who it is, they must die!"
