Ultra: Dark Shadow Mage, Founding a Magic Empire

Chapter 32 Alien Exploration, We Are Envoys
"What's this place called?"

"The advance team investigated it and it's called Lanton Star. According to the language here, it means 'center'. It sounds very exaggerated. I don't know if it is the center of this planet."

"I want to know, too. Unfortunately, we can't fly into outer space. When His Excellency Blue Dragon's order comes, we can take a look at the general composition of this planet."

A group of people walked in the mountains and forests, their destination being the city on the other side of the forest.

This is a world without an ocean, similar to the Kingdom of Light, with only a few lakes and a few rivers running from the mountains across the entire continent.

It is precisely because of the water problem that they only have one central empire that controls the source of the rivers.

The rest of the area was inhabited by feudal nobility, small kingdoms, and the like.

"They have magicians called court mages, but based on the concentration of magic in this world, they should be insignificant."

"Although it's not very good, we must come to such a beautiful world!"

"Isn't that an invasion?"

"What are you talking about! We are the legitimate heirs of the Shadow Moon Civilization! This is a branch of the descendants of the Shadow Moon Civilization, so they are our people! Isn't it normal to merge with people of the same race? Even brothers have quarrels sometimes, so it's normal for people of the same race to have frictions!"

"Makes sense!"

"So how do I take the first step?"

"I heard that the princess of the Lanton Empire is looking for a husband. Should we give it a try?"

"I saw it. She's pretty and well-educated!"

"I think so! It's all for the empire!"

"If it is really qualified, it must be presented to His Majesty!"

"That's right!"

Everyone agreed.

Only Lanster, who had been silent, twitched his lips.

The members of this exploration team are all top students who graduated from magic academies and science and technology institutions. They are from the previous year and can be considered seniors of Lanster’s seniors.

These people have already worked under the cabinet and have a deep understanding of the science behind how the cabinet operates!

They said such things without any shame at all. Instead, they were all righteous and looked like they were willing to sacrifice for the country.

"These guys...Will Dieter be like this in the future? Eh! That's really awkward!"

Lanster imagined the scene where Dieter, with his face half paralyzed, said such shameless words with a straight face...

Uh, very weird!
Forget it.

Lanster set off with them.

Due to the terrain of Landon Star, although there is no sea between them and there is a lot of communication, the customs of different places vary greatly. Therefore, even though the group of people were wearing gorgeous griffin fur magic robes, they did not attract undue attention from passers-by.

When they arrived at the capital of the Lanton Empire, everyone frowned.

Lanster covered his mouth and nose and couldn't help saying, "I didn't expect that the environment here is worse than those empires and dynasties."

Lanster didn't expect that the first thing he said when he came here would be to complain about the environment here!
"This is similar to the past. This is the era that your majesty has designated as the 'Middle Ages'. Your majesty has said in the Records of the Grand Historian that this is a sign of backward civilization. It is far from the China described in the Records of the Grand Historian."

The middle-aged leader smiled and patted Lanster on the shoulder. "Don't take deep breaths. Breathe shallowly and slowly. Relax."

"That book is very interesting. I have been reading it!"

"We also developed according to the book. If you ask me, it shouldn't be called 'Historical Records', it should be called 'Utopia'!"

The rest of the group didn't notice it, as they were chatting enthusiastically about the travelogue-style copy of "Records of the Grand Historian" that Norman wrote in his spare time.

After chatting for a while, they noticed that Lanster was different.

"Lanster, are you okay? Why do I keep seeing you covering your nose?"

"Can't you smell that?"

Lanster's face was distorted. He never thought that his predecessors could actually ignore the foul smell!

"Oh, you're talking about this. You've been studying magic for so long, haven't you forgotten that you can use the power of your blood to hold your breath?" "Hold your breath?"

Lanster came back to his senses and his eyes twitched. He didn't expect there was such a solution.

Lanster tried it and found that he was able to use the power of his blood to control his body and temporarily block his sense of smell.

It was because they stood here for too long that they attracted the attention of the patrolling soldiers.

"Hey! You guys! What are you doing?"

How could they be soldiers from a country's capital? Seeing them dressed so gorgeously, they dared to step forward and question them.

"Just passing by, I'll leave now."

The leader responded calmly, but the soldiers did not intend to let them go. A team of people quickly dispersed and surrounded the few people here.

"You guys look strange, and what you say is weird. I can understand you, but it's not a Landon accent! Where are you from?"

The soldier questioned sternly.

Just as the team leader was about to reveal the editor's identity, he was stopped by Lanst.

Lanster stepped forward and saluted using the Black Kingdom's etiquette, then said generously: "We are from the Black Kingdom, bringing with us the sincerity of His Majesty, to seek an audience with your king!"

"messenger?"

"Exactly."

"Envoys? Where are the other countries? There is only one country in the entire Landon Continent, the Landon Empire! Where did you come from, you liars? Arrest them all!"

When the soldiers heard that they were envoys, the disdain on their faces became even heavier. They looked at Lanster and others with greed in their eyes, without the slightest respect.

"Catch what?"

Lanster frowned. Along the way, what they saw was not only a bad environment, but also people’s miserable lives and rebellions everywhere.

But I didn't expect that this central empire was also filled with a group of villains who had no respect for others, were only greedy for money and made false accusations!
"We are the Black King's envoys! If you touch us, it will be like declaring war! You can't afford it!"

"What the hell is the Black King! This is the Landon Empire! You have to listen to us here! Take him away!"

The soldiers had a defiant look on their faces. With a wave of their hands, all of them drew their swords and surrounded them.

"what should we do?"

Lanster and others stood back to back, communicating through blood.

"They are just a bunch of ordinary people, but if they cause trouble now, I'm afraid they have no reason to do so."

"Then let them catch them first. If we don't report back on time, the country will definitely send an exploration team."

"Ah."

"We are envoys! We demand to see your king!"

Lanster and others raised their hands and did not make any resistance.

The team leader was not polite at all and waved his hand to order the soldiers to tie them up.

The people of the surrounding Landon country shook their heads and sighed, and hurriedly dispersed in all directions, fearing that they would be regarded as accomplices and captured by these people who wanted to make money.

"What's going on over there? It's so noisy."

On the official road, a carriage passed slowly. When passing by this side, a pleasant voice came from the carriage, asking what was happening around.

The man holding a sword and sitting next to the driver got off the carriage upon hearing this, listened around for a while, and then returned to the carriage.

"Your Highness, the city patrol arrested a group of people. They said they were envoys, but the city patrol said they were fake."

"envoy?"

The princess sitting in the car repeated it again and said, "Take my order and bring these people here!"

"As ordered."
