Ultra: Dark Shadow Mage, Founding a Magic Empire

Chapter 95: Cosmic Beast Fist, Whereabouts of the Little Golden Man (4k)

"Welcome to the Shadow Empire!"

Ace turned and looked at Leo and Astra with a smile.

Leo and Astra, who followed in, were amazed at the magnificent city before them.

The first thing they saw was the shadow of the huge tower in the sky. The powerful force it emanated at all times shocked the two brothers.

Under the gray light, the whole city is full of light without being dazzling.

The neat passages in the sky, the neat and artistic streets and cities on the ground, and the bustling sounds, all made the two brothers feel dazed.

This feeling was completely different from the feeling they had when they heard about the Kingdom of Light.

"How does it feel?" Ace asked.

"Can I go down and take a walk?" Leo hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help but speak.

"of course can."

Ace nodded and led the two men apart from the group, heading towards the city below.

Walking in the city, the feeling is even more obvious.

Because their own civilization is in a high-tech feudal period, they know what "human evil" is and have witnessed a lot of crime and chaos.

But I have also seen a lot of spontaneous goodness in human nature beyond the law.

Unlike the highly evolved Kingdom of Light, the social system of the Shadow Empire is far from perfect. With just a glance, Leo and Astra saw a lot of conflicts.

But these disputes were well controlled and resolved pending legal decisions.

There is no crime here. No one bothers to do anything against the law. When the law is needed, it is only because of some trivial disputes over interests.

Watching these scenes, Leo felt as if he had come to a particularly humane utopia!
Compared to the Kingdom of Light, which is too far away and somewhat unreal for their civilization, the Shadow Empire is closer to their civilization, as if it is the future of their civilization.

"That's great. I wonder if L77 can reach this level in the future."

Leo was a little melancholy. He had promised his father that he would protect the people of L77.

"Don't worry, your father's guess is correct. Baltan Trading Company is part of the empire, the only part of the empire that is shown to the universe."

Ace said, "L77 is also under the rule of the Empire. Their living standards are determined by how the people of the Imperial Capital live. At most, there is a slight difference due to the wealth of each planet."

"And now that you have joined the Empire, with your brothers' potential, it will be easy for you to become a great general in the future!"

"You can even turn L77 into your own fiefdom if you want."

Leo nodded when he heard this, "I understand, I will try my best!"

Ace smiled, patted his shoulder and said, "Let's go, don't keep father waiting."

"Father?" Leo was stunned.

"Didn't I tell you?" Ace raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "Your Majesty is my adopted father. If you want, you can also become my father's adopted son. He seems to be particularly fond of adopting children recently."

"If you ask me, he might as well marry Aunt Caitlin and have a child himself."

Ace lowered his voice when he said this, but just as he finished speaking, Norman's voice rang in the ears of the three men.

"I heard it, stop talking nonsense there, little brat, and bring Leo and Astra to the palace."

Ace shrank his neck when he heard Norman's voice, and after a wry smile he looked at Leo and the others, "Let's go, let's go over there first."

The three of them soon arrived at the palace.

There were many people standing in the palace at this time. Norman was sitting on the throne. Caitlin, who was standing next to him, was looking at Ace with a smile. She was obviously very satisfied with Ace's previous "whisper".

And the only person sitting in the audience was Leo and Astra's mother, the Lionheart Queen of Planet L77.

The rest of the L77 royal family and nobles were standing behind the queen with their heads bowed respectfully.

They all understood that the Black Shadow Empire would be their home in the future, and if they wanted to live a good life, they could not offend the emperor in front of them.

"Queen Lionheart, the Shadow Empire is a unified regime. I cannot divide the territory for you. You can only join us. If you want to get privileges, you must make contributions to the empire."

"I understand that the Lionheart Royal Family and the various noble families will merge from today to become the Lionheart Family, but please, Your Majesty, give us a place to stay, and then our children will join the army and fight for you."

Queen Lionheart, or the head of the Lionheart family, was very humble.

She was very smart. She had no intention of asking for power from the beginning. She just wanted a place to stay.

"I agree. This will happen even if you don't say it."

Norman smiled and nodded, then looked at Leo and Astra and said, "Announce the decree, conferring the title of Lionheart Baroness Lionheart on the former Queen Lionheart, posthumously conferring the title of Lionheart Emperor, and Baroness Lionheart becoming the second-generation head of the Lionheart Family."

"Give the Lionheart family the barony, appoint Leo and Astra as royal guards, and allow them to study at the Imperial Academy."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

The Lionheart family head took the lead and knelt on the ground, and Leo and Astra stepped forward and knelt on one knee to receive the order.

With just a few words, they shattered the ideas of the nobles of L77. At this point, they had no choice but to kneel down.

"Ace, you take them to get settled, and then send Leo and Astra to the Imperial Academy."

"Yes."

Ace stood up and left with Leo and the others.

Norman looked at their backs and suddenly thought of the planet D60 in the constellation Draco and the Cosmic Beast Fist.

Because of his interference, the plot was not only completely messed up, but it had also collapsed on a large scale.

Leo is now 5,000 years old, but he was only 10,000 years old at the beginning of Leo TV.

According to the time difference, when Leo first appeared on Leo TV, he was already 10,000 years old and had lived on Earth for several years.

In other words, the time he wandered in the universe was probably less than two thousand years, or possibly even less than one thousand years.

Therefore, the time when the Magma people attacked planet L77 should have been between and years old for Leo.

Leo visited D60 many times, probably starting from when he was years old, until he met Regulus when he was over years old, and then was displaced by the attack of the Magma aliens.

Leo is only five thousand years old now, but the invasion of the Magma aliens has already occurred, and there is no trace of Regulus on D60.

In other words, the incident with Regulus has not happened yet, and the hidden Diablo has not appeared yet.

And now, D60 is actually under the control of Baltan Trading Company.

It was only because of that group of cosmic beast fist masters that the planet was not taken over in its entirety, leaving it in an autonomous state and not even claiming its ownership to the outside world.

"It looks like we can make a plan to save people at the critical moment, and maybe we can take over the entire Universe Fantasy Beast Fist sect."

Norman smiled, then sent the plan to Edward, asking him to take charge of the next steps.

the other side.

Edward has been back in the capital for some time. After resting for quite some time, he finally returned to his office after a long absence.

His plan was very successful.

Successfully made the people of L77 stand against the Lionheart and his people.

Although the Magma raid was not planned by Edward, it was Edward's order to relax the defense.

Otherwise, with the current defense capabilities of the Shadow Empire, even an old civilization like the Magma people would never be able to enter the defense area of ​​the Shadow Empire so easily!

And this time, Edward is planning more than just planet L77.

In his calculations, whoever enters the L77 area will be the unlucky one and will have to face the wrath of the Shadow Empire army, which has nowhere to vent, in the years to come!

"Planning and governance make people feel happy!" Edward looked at the documents on the table and couldn't help feeling happy.

Even though these documents were piled up like a mountain and made other people's scalps tingle, they looked extremely cute in his eyes.

For Edward, governance and development are far more enjoyable than scheming and plotting.

Just as Edward was about to start working, Norman's plan came in front of Edward.

"Prime Minister, His Majesty has asked you to preside over the recruitment of D60."

Edward: ...

Edward looked at the documents in his hand, sighed, packed up and stood up.

Life is really unbearable now. It seems I need to train some apprentices who can give me advice!
……

time flies.

In the blink of an eye, another thousand years passed.

Leo and Astra graduated from the Imperial Academy and came to the palace together.

But this time it was not in the main hall, but in the back garden where Norman usually rested.

"His Majesty."

"They're all here."

Norman threw the food in his hand to the blue dragon, then turned back to look at Leo and Astra with a smile.

At this time, Leo and Astra were staring in amazement at the terrifying dragon in front of them that was several times larger than them.

"Your Majesty, this is..."

"This is a blue dragon. It is the first dragon I tamed and the ancestor of all blue dragons today. Its strength has reached the galaxy level. However, I never go out, so it stays with me."

Norman smiled and patted the blue dragon's head, then turned and walked to the other side.

"follow me."

Leo and Astra saluted the blue dragon, who nodded slightly, then lay down and closed his eyes.

The two then turned around and followed Norman into a room.

"It's right here. Recently, someone invented prophecy magic. Through the power of magic, one can predict certain things in the future. It is considered a branch of time magic."

There was a mirror floating in front of Norman, and he moved it in front of Leo and Astra.

The two looked at the mirror, but their faces were not reflected in it. Instead, there was a mist in it, which made people feel a little chilly.

"I don't really like predictions. After all, even if we know the future, what does it matter? Don't we still have to move forward and develop? And the path we choose is our own. Predictions can't determine anything."

"We developed the road ourselves...Your Majesty, what you said is very good."

Leo chewed it over and over again, and agreed with Norman's point of view.

Norman smiled and said, "But the future I saw is related to you, so I asked you to come and take a look and listen to your thoughts."

"See for yourself."

"Is it related to us?"

Leo and Astra looked at each other, then looked at the mirror.

The fog in the mirror dissipated, and then the image flashed. It was the planet D60!

They saw that D60 was invaded, but they could not see the appearance of the invader. At the end of the picture, they saw the death of Master Lei Ting, the death of several Cosmic Fantasy Beast Fist masters, and an unknown golden light.

"How could this happen!" Leo was shocked.

"Don't panic, this is just a possibility for the future."

Norman moved the mirror away and said in a deep voice: "Now that you have seen it, what do you want to do?"

"Your Majesty, I want to go to D60!"

Leo said, his tone very firm, "All the masters are good people, and the Cosmic Fantasy Beast Fist is very powerful and can help the empire!"

"If we can get them to join the empire, this future might not happen, and we can also gain a lot of powerful combat power."

"What do you think, Astra?"

"I agree. The Cosmic Beast Fist can make up for our lack of close combat methods. It can also communicate with the Cosmic Beasts, which is a great help."

"Okay, then you can go ahead. You can write to Edward and he will tell you what to do."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Leo and the others set off hurriedly, not daring to delay for a moment, and drove the spaceship to D60.

This time, ostensibly, they went to D60 for exchanges and study on behalf of Baltan Trading Company.

Because the previous Lionheart had a mutual assistance agreement with D60, although L77 already belonged to Baltan Trading Company, D60 was still willing to recognize the previous agreement.

So they are qualified and nominal.

Of course, this is also what Baltan Trading Company hinted at~
In fact, they were going to live here permanently to protect the safety of Master Lei Ting and others, and to guide Regulus to join the Shadow Empire!

"I haven't been here for a long time. I don't know how Master Lei Ting and the others are doing."

"They are all under the rule of the empire, so it shouldn't be a big deal. Don't worry, brother."

Leo nodded, then looked at the extra black and red lines on his body and said with a smile: "But after accepting the blood of the Son of the Night, our appearance has changed a lot. It is better to disguise ourselves so as not to scare them."

"Well, His Majesty and Brother Ace also gave instructions."

Astra smiled and said, "But I heard recently that there are disagreements in the Cosmic Fantasy Beast Fist sect. Some people want to join Baltan Trading Company and spread the Cosmic Fantasy Beast Fist to the entire universe."

"It's a pity that they don't have the support of the mentor of the contracted fantasy beast, otherwise they would have joined the empire."

"Indeed, if possible, I hope they will join, otherwise the future that Your Majesty talked about..."

A hint of worry flashed across Leo's eyes, but he quickly hid it.

After all, they are here to change that future!
"arrive."

The spaceship landed smoothly, and when the two stepped out of the cabin, they saw Regulus and Linglan coming towards them.

"Long time no see, Leo! Astra!"

When Regulus saw the two of them, he walked up to them and gave them a big hug.

"I thought I would never see you again! Where have you been for the past thousand years?"

"I went to study further and now I come back to continue practicing. I hope you won't object to my welcome?" Leo said with a smile.

"How is that possible! We've come to pick you up! Let's go! Master Lei Ting is waiting."

"it is good."

Leo nodded, then looked at the people following behind the two men.

"Who is this?"

Regulus slapped his head and said, "Look at my memory. He is my good friend, the ranger who came to D60 to study after you left."

"His name is Diaz, you two can definitely become friends!"
