Ultraman: The Dark Shadow Mage, Creating a Magic Empire

Chapter 65 Go and take on disciples!

After watching Teton leave, Holsodi also stepped back to collect his token and familiarize himself with tomorrow's work schedule.

Just as Norman was about to go to his training, his mailbox rang again.

Subsequently, more than a dozen letters were delivered to his desk.

Upon seeing this, Caitlin couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh.

This scene has happened frequently over the past thousand years!

Norman's eye twitched, and he immediately ordered a summons of several important ministers.

Soon, the courtiers entered from outside the palace.

"Please sit down."

Norman casually waved his hand, gesturing for everyone to sit down.

The group sat down, all wondering why His Majesty had summoned them at this moment.

Those present this time included: Chief Minister Edward, the four generals, the ministers and vice ministers of the six ministries, the director of the Science and Technology Bureau Allen, the Noldor Tree Priest Noldok, and the Dean of the Magic Academy Morton;

Erica, Alice, and other members of the subterranean exploration team; Dieter Manster, who officially serves in the cabinet; Lanster Free, the founder of ice magic; and Osborn, Peter, and other scientists among the twelve science and technology scientists.

After everyone was seated, Norman took a deep breath before speaking, "I know you are all very busy, so I won't take up any more time."

"You may all take on disciples. I won't arrange anything; find them yourselves. Within the next thousand years, each of you must cultivate one or two outstanding disciples for me!"

"Since you're always unwilling to rest, then train a few disciples to help you take turns!"

"I have no more complaints about your excuses. My palace is flooded with complaints from the Ministry of Labor and Social Security! They're all accusing me of exploiting you!"

"You're all here to rest! If you don't want to be confined, take turns with your apprentices!"

Norman's slightly angry voice echoed throughout the royal city, followed by the sight of a group of shadowy figures—the chief ministers of the empire—being thrown out of the city...

……

"get off work."

"Coming right away."

One by one, the lights in the laboratory went out, until finally, only one laboratory remained lit.

Harry Osborne, who had just told his colleagues he was coming soon several hours earlier, was still working diligently at his desk.

This isn't someone exploiting him; it's him exploiting himself!

He was under too much pressure.

The Shadow Empire rose from the brink of disaster to its resurgence in less than a century.

From inheriting the legacy of the Shadow Star to using magic to enter the field of technology and develop a unique magical technology, the Shadow Empire took less than three hundred years.

Then they expanded to an entire star system and began developing space technology, hoping to enable more people with slightly less talent to also travel to space.

And the one who helped the Shadow Empire people fly into space was none other than Harry Osborn's father!

A thousand years have passed since the Shadow Empire entered the magical space age.

Over a thousand years, the Shadow Empire's space technology and various warships developed rapidly, reaching a period of stagnation at the spacefaring level in just a thousand years.

Currently, everyone within the Shadow Empire hopes that magical technology can advance further, break through the shackles once again, and enter the realm of galaxy-level civilization as His Majesty has described!

Among those on whom high hopes were placed, the two most promising were the families of the two young men who developed the spacecraft and successfully went into space.

The Osborne family and the Peter family!

That generation all came from humble beginnings. Although Norman tried many methods to abolish the discrimination of the name system, most people in that generation still did not have the habit of giving themselves names.

Later, because it was necessary to award merits and compile biographies, that group of people used their own names as their surnames.

That's how the Osborne and Peter families came to be.

Harry Osborn is the youngest son of the original Osborn, and he has a hundred older brothers and sisters!

Those one hundred older brothers and sisters have all achieved amazing success in their respective fields!

Only Harry Osborn remains, and he's still a failure...

The power of bloodlines may weaken, but genetic growth is passed down from generation to generation.

Although they were only the second generation, the Osborne family had excellent genes, and Osborne's own improved abilities made all his siblings geniuses!

However, there are differences even among geniuses...

When it came to Harry, the difference became exceptionally obvious, as if a chasm had been laid out before them, clearly defining the gap between the two sides!

If I had to say something, Harry and his siblings perfectly exemplify the saying, "You may be a genius, but genius is just the threshold to my door!"

He is not a scientific genius. Even if he can learn this knowledge, he is just a scholar who repeats the path of his predecessors and keeps doing the same experiments.

Titles like "scientist" and "inventor" are really far removed from him!

Even with his desperate pursuit, he couldn't catch a glimpse of his older brothers and sisters' backs...

"Beep beep beep—"

The quiet laboratory was filled with the beeping of instruments; it was the alarm clock.

Harry Osborn, who was in a daze, was startled and rushed over to open the testing box. He carefully took out the test tubes inside and began to observe them under the microscope.

Five minutes later.

Harry Osborn slumped back in his chair, his experiment having failed once again.

He is trying to research better aerospace-grade materials, but no matter which direction he goes, he makes no progress whatsoever.

It's as if molecules and atoms won't open the door for them. No matter how they dissect and recombine, they can't transform the microscopic particles like molecules and atoms, and they can't create entirely new elements through chemical effects.

"It's just impossible to succeed no matter what..."

After half an hour.

Harry Osborne, carrying a briefcase, walked out of the Science and Technology Agency's Space Division building.

He stood in front of the building and looked around.

This building was specially constructed by a top-tier architect at the time to celebrate the birth of civilian spacecraft.

Shaped like a spaceship launch tower, it looks like a giant space dock from the sky. When lit up, it is magnificent, and its brightness can even rival that of the super-large magic tower on the sun!

Although the colossal magic tower has only completed its second phase so far.

But that's a super-large magic tower, a super magical crystallization built by tens of thousands of great magicians over thousands of years!

This is enough to illustrate the building's brightness and grandeur.

"Soon, I will have nowhere to stay in this place."

Harry Osborn sighed, then turned and walked toward his home.

The area nearby is a bustling commercial street, and there is a food street leading to his rented apartment.

Harry remembers that when he was a child, he loved asking his father to bring him here, and every time they would have the whole place to themselves so he could eat to his heart's content.

But after he became independent, he discovered that a meal cost twenty yuan, while a normal researcher, before producing results, only received one hundred and eighty yuan a day, including benefits...

Honestly, I never thought I was a rich person before.

Harry smiled. Just like the jokes circulating online, if he really didn't do well, he might really have to go home and inherit that cold, hard billion-dollar fortune.

Harry walked past a small stall and sat down naturally.

"Boss, a bowl of vegetarian noodles."
