Ultra: Dark Shadow Mage, Founding a Magic Empire

Chapter 33 I understand, it’s really a dimensionality reduction attack!
"As ordered."

The man with the sword took the order, then dodged and turned into a shadow across the street, arriving in front of the patrol team in the blink of an eye.

"It's the magic warrior!"

The people around who saw the commotion shouted, their faces changed suddenly, and they fled to both sides.

What's worse, some people even abandon their own goods and run away with their own children!
If the city defense patrol is the evil people they hate, then the high and mighty magic warriors are the evil ghosts!
Because the laws of the country of Lanton stipulate that it is not illegal for a magic warrior to kill someone!
"Give me these people. The princess wants to see them. Here is the order."

The man looked indifferent, as if the actions of these people were natural.

After seeing the handwritten order, the patrol captain handed the chain to the man with both hands, saying, "Sir, please hold it tightly."

The one in front of them is the "magician" of Landon Star, a person who is superior to others. Even if the people in the city defense patrol team are unwilling, they have to bow their heads obediently.

"Untie it, I don't need these."

"Yes Yes!"

The patrol leader untied the chains, then stepped back with his head lowered.

The man looked at everyone indifferently and said, "Follow me, the princess wants to see you."

The man said, and walked towards the street which was already empty.

On the other side of the street was a waiting carriage, and the princess lifted the curtain and sighed helplessly.

"Your Highness, the person has been brought here."

"Okay, I get it, but next time don't use magic in public. The title of a magic warrior can easily scare civilians."

"Yes."

The man touched his chest and bowed, then stood aside.

Lanster and others stood beside the carriage and discussed using the power of their bloodline.

"Is this their princess?"

"It should be that princess..."

"This is what we encountered?"

"The one next to him should be what they call a magic warrior here, right? His status is really extraordinary!"

"Tsk! He is only using the simplest level one magic Shadow Body, which is far inferior to Shadow Path. If that's all he has, then we can just start fighting!"

"Hello."

Just as everyone was discussing, a pleasant voice sounded again.

Lanster looked up and saw the princess coming out of the carriage.

She wears a long blue dress in the Langdon Empire style of dress, similar to the Rococo style of the Louis XV period.

The slim-fitting long skirt, with a low-cut design that is completely different from the one in the Black Kingdom, coupled with the princess's proud figure and beauty, really shines in the whole audience!
Even people like Lanster, who were used to seeing handsome men and beautiful women, were a little dazed.

"Good fellow! With this appearance, if he had the ability and brains to work, he would be worthy of His Majesty!"

"What do you mean? Are you going to kidnap her now?"

"How could a country like ours, a country of etiquette, do such barbaric things?"

"That's right."

"Come back to your senses, don't lose face for your majesty!" The leader interrupted their discussion, stepped forward, and saluted the princess with the etiquette of the Black Kingdom. "Hello, we are envoys from the Black Kingdom. We come with the sincerity of the Black Kingdom and want to establish diplomatic relations with your country."

"I am Katrina Landon, the Shadow Princess of the Empire. It's a pleasure to meet you. If you are envoys, then why were you captured by the city defense patrol?"

Katerina asked, smiling.

In response to this thorny question, the leader just smiled and said, "This is a misunderstanding. We did not resist and waited to explain to them. Fortunately, with the help of Her Royal Highness the Princess, the first stop of our visit did not become a dungeon."

Katerina was surprised by this answer.

Even the envoys from other vassal states did not have such a sharp brain that could immediately come up with a reply that took all parties into consideration and was also thorny.

no way,
In this country where there is not even armor, if you learn powerful magic, fighting a thousand people by yourself will only make your hands a little sore, and fighting ten thousand people will only make you a little tired!

In such a situation, who would think about how to run or manage the country?
But actually?
The development of Landon Star over thousands of years is actually not as good as the development of the Black Kingdom in ten years!
Those magic warriors and magicians, they spend their entire lives just following the old paths of their predecessors.

Without innovation, there is no progress.

When they die, the next generation will still be standing still!

The reason for this is related to their rigid and corrupt society, and also to the concentration of magic on this planet.

The most important thing is that there is no system, everyone is self-centered, and they are not even willing to teach their own disciples real skills!

It is not the ancient way of teaching apprentices by keeping some skills, but rather, they let their apprentices learn things over and over again, which could have been taught simply.

They should have taught the magic directly, but instead they let their apprentice experiment over and over again. In the end, not only did they become half-human, but they also made their apprentice look like this.

From generation to generation, everyone is just marking time.

So when she saw the leader's answer, Catalina showed her admiration for talent and said, "You look like a learned person. Are you willing to stay?"

"I can grant you the status of Grand Secretary and allow you to directly participate in the discussion."

"Thank you for your kindness, but I am only loyal to the great Black King, my civilization and my country. I have no such considerations. Besides, I am only the leader of a diplomatic corps and cannot be considered knowledgeable."

"Isn't it a sign of not knowing how to employ people to appoint someone like you who understands etiquette as an envoy?"

Katerina was puzzled.

The leader smiled and said nothing more.

Catalina understood what the leader meant. She sighed and got back into the car, saying, "Follow us. I'll take you to see our father."

"Thank you, Your Highness Princess!"

The group followed the princess's carriage and soon passed the guard post and arrived at the castle in the center of the city.

Without any inspection or difficulty, they entered easily, and after entering they saw the true appearance of the castle.

This castle is located on top of a snow-capped mountain. The four walls of the castle are actually four dams built with magic circles. Judging from the traces on them, they should be thousands of years old.

Being able to last so long, it is obvious that these four dams were built by the Shadowmoon civilization that migrated here!
In addition to this dam, there is another legacy left by the Shadowmoon civilization, which is the castle palace used by the royal family of Lanton as a royal palace.

This castle is not an alchemical creation, but it has a strong magical atmosphere. Lanster can even see the magic circle still running on it!
Apart from this, everything else made by the Royal Family of Lanton is not worth mentioning at all!
They couldn't even maintain the most basic sanitation and drainage systems. The environment on site was terrible, only slightly better than the streets outside.

The leader also saw all this, scratched his head and asked: "Your Majesty once said a word, what is it called?"

"Dimensionality reduction attack, right?" Lanster couldn't help but say.

"Yes! It's a dimensionality reduction attack!"
