Ultra: Dark Shadow Mage, Founding a Magic Empire

Chapter 63 Jian: Why do I feel like we’ve lost out?
"The number of people who died this time is too high, more than in any disaster we've experienced before."

"Yes, and in order to obtain weapons, we also signed a contract with Baltan Trading Company."

"Hey... this is inevitable, but how should we proceed from now on?"

In the parliament of the Kingdom of Light, the original high-ranking officials of the Kingdom of Light are still sitting here.

There's no way. Although they are just sitting there doing nothing, they still have some backbone.

When the Amperla aliens invaded, they were the ones who led the resistance and fled after failing to win.

Later, when Jian and Beria formed a resistance army and tried to persuade them to sign a contract to purchase it, they agreed.

When the war finally broke out, they fought on the battlefield, saving many residents of the Kingdom of Light, and some even sacrificed their lives!

In this case, it is understandable that they are still sitting here.

Not to mention Jian, who was originally from the Silver Clan, even if Norman was here, there was no excuse to replace them.

Light has a huge impact on the Ultraman family.

They eliminated crime in the first place, and after turning into light, they magnified the kindness and positive emotions within.

Even if your mentality changes a little after living for a long time and you become a little confused, you will not really do bad things.

"Since we have signed a contract with them, we naturally need to fulfill it. Although they want a lot...but they dared to contact us when the Anperla people were at their strongest, which can be considered a favor."

This was said by Jian, who was sitting in the lowest seat.

His position is clear.

No matter whether the other party is standing from the perspective of a businessman, and has reached an agreement with them and is taking the opportunity to ask for a big ask. Since the other party has expressed goodwill, they must respond to the goodwill!
"Well, this is indeed an important point."

"I agree. Then pack up the supplies and deliver them to them."

"Ah."

Jian nodded, stood up and left the council, heading to the other side where supplies were being sorted.

"How's the sorting going? Is it enough to pay off the previous debt?"

"Not enough. We collected the supplies that can still be used today and destroyed the warehouses built by the Amperla people. Our soldiers cleared the Amperla Empire, but those aliens looted the warehouses. What we collected is still not enough to repay the debt."

"..."

Jian felt a bit of a headache. After doing the math, why did he feel like he was at a loss?

I took the weapons given by the Baltan Chamber of Commerce, defeated the Empera people who ruled the universe, and shattered the Empera Empire. I spent many years competing with the aliens for resources before I received the legacy of the Empera people.

And now you tell me that one tenth of the assets of the entire Ampela Empire is not as much as the debt owed for the batch of weapons we originally ordered?
Is this reasonable?

"Why do you owe so much?"

Jian looked at the bill, his whole body a little dazed.

"The annual interest. It took us hundreds of years to conquer the Empire of Ampela. The interest from all these hundreds of years is piled up and this is the amount."

Jian:……

"Then why didn't you return it in the first place?"

Jian’s question is actually easy to answer.

After his decisive battle with Alien Empera, the Kingdom of Light should have regrouped and rested.

But their goals are different from those of the Shadow Empire. When the Shadow Empire's fleet goes out, its target is only those warehouses and supplies, and it has no idea about aliens and monsters.

Therefore, in the hundred years after the battle, they have been looting the resource warehouses of the Empera Empire in various galaxies. The tentacles of the Dark Shadow Empire once reached millions of light years away!

What the Kingdom of Light wants is not supplies, but to completely destroy the Empera Empire and dispel the darkness!
So they wasted more time, and by the time Jian came back, it was more than a thousand years after the decisive battle!
Accordingly, because they had been away on the battlefield, Jian and Beria had temporarily forgotten the debt contract they had signed that year...

Now that I think about it, it’s not too late.

After all, the Ampera Empire is too large, and the Ampera people are not dead!
Although he was seriously injured and had to hide, his wise general, Mefilas, led the newly formed Four Dark Lords and gathered a large part of the army to resist.

If we want to completely eradicate them, it will take at least ten thousand years!

“Because there wasn’t one at that time!”

Ultraman, who was guarding the warehouse, was speechless.

Jian was not surprised to get this answer. At that time, the entire Kingdom of Light was enslaved, and all resources and technological technologies were looted. It was only because of the protection of the Plasma Spark Tower that those artifacts were not lost.

At that time, the Kingdom of Light did not have many resources to use even if it emptied the entire planet.

It's become a bit embarrassing now.

If the money is paid off in one go, there will be no more accrued interest, but the Kingdom of Light will not be able to recover, and the 150 billion residents of the Kingdom of Light will probably have to lie down for the next thousand years.

But if they don't pay off the debt and only pay off the interest, then if they want to save up the money again, I'm afraid everyone will have to work for a hundred years to pay it off.

And if you don’t pay it back for the time being... well, that won’t be considered.

Although the Kingdom of Light can develop again with these materials, when the Kingdom of Light is developed and wants to repay the debt, I am afraid that the debt will not be repaid!
"Then, give them all!"

Jian's eyes twitched, but there was nothing he could do. A short pain is worse than a long one!
It’s better to solve it now than to be delayed later.

"Really?"

"Yes, the parliament has passed it."

"Row."

The warehouse manager was very prompt. He sat down and began to count the supplies and contact the Baltan Trading Company.

On the other side, the goblin merchants who received the news were ready to go.

The scale of the universe is so large that even if they use the standard cosmic year they set, they cannot accurately calculate the passage of time in the universe and the relative time under different gravity. It is only an approximation at best.

for example.

The goblin merchant Kuidok traveled in the universe for a thousand standard years, but not long ago he returned home and found that his wife was dead...

After checking, he found out that 1,100 standard years had passed on the dwarf star, which was exactly the lifespan limit of his wives!
Because they lack talent, even if they have enough resources to practice, they cannot break through to the peak of the surface level.

A strong man at the peak of the surface level can live for at least five thousand standard years, but if he fails to break through the surface level, he can only rely on taking genetic drugs to survive.

But people who rely on drugs to prolong their lives can only live for about two thousand years at most, after which the effectiveness of the genetic drugs will become less effective.

And Kuidok returned a hundred years late, causing the genetic medicine he brought to fail to be delivered in time...

Well, it might be painful for other species.

But for the goblins, if they lose their wife, they can just marry another one!

So in recent times, Kuidok has been living a very comfortable life.

While nourishing him, it also made him more ambitious and he wanted to build another kingdom for his Majesty!
And the first step starts with collecting debts!
　I have a headache. I need to take a day off.
