Ultraman: The Dark Shadow Mage, Creating a Magic Empire

Chapter 67 Quidok's Ambition

"Land of Light, it's been so long since I've been here."

"Yes, the last time we came here was five hundred years ago. Back then, they were under martial law and didn't trade with us."

"It's just a pity that we might become enemies in the future."

"Maybe."

Quiddock looked at the list in his hand, pondering how to sweep through the Land of Light again once they arrived at their destination!

He paid no attention to the discussions among his subordinates.

After all, that's the difference between him as a big businessman and his small-time vendors.

The intelligence they possessed, their perspectives on things, and their vision and goals in the business world were two completely opposite extremes!

The goblin vendors only care about immediate profits.

What they saw was the Shadow Empire exploiting the Kingdom of Light and using various means to extract a large sum of wealth from it.

They were excited about receiving this fortune.

Those who are even more astute can see the future relationship between the two parties through their shared interests.

This means that the Land of Light will establish diplomatic relations with the Baltan Trading Company, exchanging information as a civilization and an organization.

We still get the profits, and we can even develop the business in the long term. Plus, they'll thank us!

And big merchants like Quidok, after the empire helped them make arrangements, would use this opportunity to rise to the next level and see even more benefits and advantages!

What Guidok wants is not just to exploit the Land of Light again; he wants the Land of Light to thank him after he has done so!

Moreover, the Land of Light must also be bound to them to a certain extent, becoming their "bodyguards"!

In the years to come, the Baltan Trading Company will disguise itself as a peace-loving civilization, while the Land of Light will protect the Baltan Trading Company and become its "accomplice" in exploiting the entire universe through funds and trade!

Yes, that's what Quidok plans to do next.

He wants the Land of Light to become their "accomplice"!

Perhaps the Land of Light can see through it, but their actions are not acts of aggression, so how can they be considered evil?

By the time the Land of Light tries to stop them, they will probably already have the ability to resist the Land of Light's high-end combat power!

Putting everything else aside, Quidock believed that even that King of Ultra could be easily dealt with by His Majesty!

Norman is the last bastion of the Shadow Empire!

"We've arrived. Let's go down and have a good look at them." Quidok stood up; they were now disguised as Baltan aliens.

They disembarked from the spaceship and entered the Land of Light.

At this time, the Land of Light was vastly different from the prosperous nation that would later become.

Everywhere there were collapsed buildings, everywhere there were traces of war, the whole place was in a state of post-war ruins.

Quidok knew that once Ken was ready to repay his debts, the Land of Light would need to maintain this state for at least another thousand years!

Moreover, the Aliens Empera are not dead, and they still need to divide their forces to conquer the Aliens Empera's empire, which will further slow down the development of the Land of Light.

"Long time no see, Quidok."

"A thousand years have passed since we parted, Jian, you are still so strong and radiant."

Quidok stepped forward and gently touched Jian's hand with his.

"Yes, after all these years, you haven't changed at all." Jian nodded with a smile, then invited Guidok and the merchant delegation into the Land of Light.

……

the other side.

Inside the royal palace courtyard.

This was Norman's true resting place, which he renovated into Chinese-style pavilions and towers.

From the outside and from above, it looks like a small courtyard house, covering no more than 500 square meters.

But if you walk in through the main gate, you'll see a real lake and several mountain ranges!

This is what Norman created with spatial magic. Entering through the front door, it looks like summer, with pavilions, bridges, streams, and a lake where you can cool off and go boating.

Beyond the lake lies a mountain forest, vibrant with the spirit of spring. A river flows down the mountain, its banks lined with lush green willows.

Once you get up the mountain, you can see a large waterfall, and beyond that are snow-capped mountains and rice paddies.

Norman lived here most of the time, and was not always sitting on the throne.

He's not an emperor, nor does he have a solid gold toilet throne; there's no need for him to sit there all the time.

As for the governance of the empire, he could observe and inquire about it anytime and anywhere, leaving most of the work to the cabinet and the people.

They have now evolved into a parliamentary system, with a rotating prime minister managing it.

Caitlin, dressed in her training clothes, was practicing her swordplay in the courtyard, and her movements were truly a sight to behold.

After finishing her treatment, Caitlin sat down next to Norman, wiped her face with a towel, and asked, "Your Majesty, are you really going to give them all a vacation?"

"The twenty geniuses from the first generation of magic academies are still building the magic tower. If we give them a break now, many things will be impossible to do."

"The members of the House of Representatives from Dieter's generation have all gone to govern the newly explored planets. If they all take leave, there will probably be quite a few problems."

Caitlin's words make sense.

The Shadow Empire is now enormous, encompassing a radius of 500 light-years from the Shadow Star.

This was also the first time that the officials of the Shadow Empire had governed such a vast territory.

There are thousands of colonized planets, over two thousand planets of varying sizes awaiting development, and the fleets needed for expeditions also need to be deployed.

Most importantly, Edward and his team were primarily busy supplying magical forces on the borders of the Shadow Empire, 500 light-years away.

What is the mission of this magic unit?

Establish a massive shadow barrier to disguise the area where the Shadow Empire is located!

This is why Edward and other high-ranking officials are unwilling to rest; it concerns the future of the Shadow Empire!

Norman was sitting under the eaves reading a book when he heard Caitlin's question. He looked up and smiled, "Don't worry."

"They are now training disciples. In less than a hundred years, we will have many more powerful individuals."

"And what's next? What does Your Majesty want to do?" Caitlin asked curiously.

"What's next?"

Norman looked up at the sky. Because of his immense power, the magic circle he had set up nearly two thousand years ago was still functioning.

Although the star is still out of existence, it is fixed in place, acting as a gravitational center to ensure that the planets in the Blue Galaxy do not drift away.

On the star, a colossal magic tower is still under construction.

Perhaps, once that magic tower is successfully built, they will truly enter the next magical era.

Norman thought for a moment and said, "I want them to overcome difficulties on their own. Our civilization can advance on its own. I will stay here and let them grow on their own."

"And beyond that... I wish to bring an old friend into our empire."
