Ultraman: The Dark Shadow Mage, Creating a Magic Empire

Chapter 121 Torregia Joins

Torregia went into the laboratory and took a look around; the experimental environment here was quite good.

The laboratory is tall and large enough, and because of the gigantification and energy conversion of the entire population, all facilities within the Shadow Empire have been renovated and reinforced.

Torregia casually opened a file and looked at it; it was full of projects that were ridiculously simple.

The Land of Light had already completed the research and development of these projects hundreds of thousands of years ago. However, according to Ace's introduction, considering the time of the Shadow Empire's birth, the Shadow Empire, which is now researching these technologies, is undoubtedly ahead of its time!

"It seems that this empire is not to be underestimated, and it is also related to the Baltan Trading Company... Perhaps they are the astounding force behind Baltan that Taro and the others have been searching for."

Torregia's eyes flickered, then he began to work.

He has made his choice, and now that he has, he will not regret it!

"Taro, next time we meet, I'll show you what true power is!"

Torregia silently uttered a harsh remark to his best friend before throwing himself into his work.

Time always flies when you're working.

After addressing the material deficiencies, he completed the gun design.

He agreed with the Shadow Empire's ideology, but had no intention of joining the Black Silver Empire.

But once they got to high school, the differences began to show.

Well, for example, he was originally researching an energy weapon that could be used for military purposes.

It's a genetic change, very obvious and very sudden!

Every task that followed presented similar difficulties!

The entire Earth was plunged into a brief state of being without the protection of the "Giant of Light".

So far, things are going fairly well; progress on both sides is about the same.

Ace quickly summoned Tregear, who was now the regent and responsible for assisting in the affairs of the Shadow Empire.

Therefore, this audience can be said to have been held in the midst of a busy schedule.

In contrast, the University of Science and Technology is different.

"You're welcome, welcome to the team! I'm sure it won't be long before you achieve your goals."

However, this trip gave Toregia ample time to learn about the history of the Shadow Empire in detail.

Learning magic requires talent and many special magical materials. The cost of these magical materials is more than twice that of basic scientific materials!

He discovered that to study magic more deeply, he needed to join the Shadow Empire's magic academy. Unlike the Imperial Library, the magic academy only admitted members of the Shadow Empire; it was impossible for outsiders to enroll.

By the time Tregear finished his work, several years had passed on Earth, and Max, Leo, and the others had also completed their trials.

After thinking it over, Torregia went to the palace to ask to see Ace.

The Science and Technology Bureau, together with the University of Science and Technology, successfully implemented a nine-year compulsory education system, comprehensively cultivating the basic scientific and magical knowledge of the youth of the Shadow Empire from primary school to junior high school.

Only by completing the tests and assessments can you obtain more resource allocations!

However, compared to Belial, who completely betrayed the Land of Light, Tregear's feelings towards the Land of Light were more complex.

This is... the power of darkness?

The entry requirements for high schools and universities are gradually being lowered to attract more talent to engage in the development of basic science.

Therefore, Toregia had no intention of wasting time; he was more interested in the Shadow Empire's magic than its technology.

There's no way around it. No matter how great their potential for development is, they are still quite a distance from the Land of Light, and even quite a distance from Tregear himself!

After joining the magic academy, he suddenly discovered that something seemed to be emerging from his body...

"Thank you so much for taking care of me these past few days. I'm very interested in magic and would like to join the Shadow Empire. Is that possible?"

Regarding energy release, he discovered that without the aid of a magic array, the technology of the Shadow Empire was simply insufficient!

There are not only middle school entrance exams and college entrance exams, but also all sorts of other tests.

"Why did you suddenly decide to look for me?"

"Joining the Empire? That's easy. Just fill out a form and apply. You can fill it out now, and I'll stamp it for you. Then you can enter your identity into the system."

A mage can only produce a million magical materials in a year, and this number decreases as the grade of the magical materials increases.

"It's finally finished."

Toregia didn't mince words either. Having lived here for several years, he had figured out the pragmatic nature of the Shadow Empire people.

His scholarship application was quickly rejected, and subsequently, the working-class Torregia transformed into a first-year student at the magic academy.

After reviewing the materials of the Shadow Empire, he discovered that the Shadow Empire's materials science was somewhat lagging behind, so he began to make up for the Shadow Empire's shortcomings in materials science.

And it has no side effects!

Of course, even if Allen, the director of the Science and Technology Bureau, personally invited Torregia, Torregia would not go!

The number of sixth-tier mages in the Shadow Empire is approximately 10 billion, which is a terrifying number, but it seems insignificant compared to the Shadow Empire's population, which is measured in trillions.

Toregia thanked them again, and after registering his identity, he left the palace to apply for admission to the magic academy.

Thank you!

The Shadow Empire has an enormous population, and the resources for teaching magic are far inferior to those for teaching science.

However, he also began to try to get closer to the Shadow Empire and integrate into it.

Ace gave a meaningful smile.

Moreover, each magical material requires a sixth-rank mage to create it.

Instead of going through all these roundabout ways with the Shadow Empire, it's better to go straight to the point; that way, you'll earn their respect.

"I need to think of a way... Maybe I can just ask Ace to let me join the Shadow Empire..."

Torregia got up and stretched. He hadn't expected that these tasks, which seemed so simple to him, would take him several years.

He did not betray the Land of Light; he simply did not agree with the Land of Light's ideology.

It's not because he's too bad, but because some of the basic disciplines of the Shadow Empire are a bit off!

Then he began to complete the energy theory of the Shadow Empire, which led to the completion of this energy weapon.

During his research, he discovered that the reason this energy weapon was not successfully developed was because the materials were not strong enough.

Therefore, out of necessity, the high school and university sections of the magic academy implemented a more stringent management and selection system.

This is the reason why Torregia has worked for so many years!

The other seven fleets of the Shadow Empire have been waging wars abroad, and external resources are flowing into the Shadow Starfield. In addition, the extraction of energy from the Dark Universe has begun, so technological development is booming.

Of course, none of this concerns Torregia; he doesn't care about such things.
