Ultra: Dark Shadow Mage, Founding a Magic Empire

Chapter 4 Lying on the board together~
There was silence in the meeting hall.

Except for Caitlin, who was the first to awaken her bloodline, everyone else sat quietly, feeling the changes in their bodies.

After hearing Norman's words, they opened their eyes one after another.

As they opened their eyes, the flames that had illuminated the meeting hall dimmed in that instant.

The blood-red eyes and sharp fangs made his temperament even more sinister.

For a moment, the entire conference hall seemed to have turned into a devil's den!
But this feeling soon disappeared, because at the beginning they could not control the bloodline display, which led to the terrifying scene of resonance.

“How to place it is a problem…”

After thinking for a moment, Chief Minister Edward asked, "Your Majesty, how long will it take for the people's bloodline to awaken?"

"It will take about 7 days. According to my calculations, after 7 days of darkness, basically not many plants will be able to survive. This is exactly the time it takes for all the people to awaken their bloodlines, so I said that we should prepare the resettlement area first."

"After seven days, the residents of the country will gradually awaken. However, the initial awakening will only turn them into children of the night. They will have some blood inheritance, but not the blood magic you have obtained."

"Hmm... I know how to plan it. As long as we know the specific time, everything will be easy."

Edward told his plan.

Now that we know the specific time and that everyone's bloodline will inevitably awaken, the next step is to segment the population and decide who will be sleeping and who will awaken.

Take the family as the unit, and then subdivide it into the elderly, children, young and middle-aged people, women and pregnant women.

The elderly can fall directly into a deep sleep, and after falling into a deep sleep their bodies can slowly recover, allowing them to return to their youthful state.

Children should continue to play, plan their activity areas well, attend classes and study normally, and grow according to a normal schedule during the sunny period.

Young and strong laborers need to take turns in batches to carry out the sleeping operation. After all, there are many things that need to be transformed and a lot of work that needs to be done.

After all, it is the teachers who are responsible for educating the children.

Women can also sleep in batches. Because of world cultural reasons and Norman's reforms, women in the Black Kingdom can also hold up half the sky.

Although it was impossible to achieve the modern level due to productivity, at least women being able to serve as officials or work were not affected.

Pregnant women are the most important, they are at the same level as children and need careful care and a normal schedule.

Such a subdivision can not only allow the domestic people to recuperate, but also will not delay the necessary development and training.

"Edward's plan is very good. After awakening our bloodline, we can lie in a specially made coffin bed and directly absorb energy from nature to maintain our lives. We can also use the energy of nature to grow."

Norman adopted Edward's detailed plan and said, "Edward, you lead the government to make arrangements. You must make it clear what crisis we need to face and how we can resist it."

"Only by calming people's hearts can we survive in this darkness."

"As you command! I will not let your majesty down!"

Edward stood up, saluted, and made a solemn promise.

"All members of the Ministry of Works, assemble and build the coffin bed according to the inherited memory. Kandisi, follow me. The place where the coffin bed is placed must be stable. We need to find a suitable place."

"Caitlin, before the entire plan is completed, the army must be on full alert to guard against sudden attacks by monsters!"

"As ordered!"

"Dismiss! Everyone else, get moving!"

"Yes!"

Everyone in the meeting room started moving.

Norman brought a group of trained geographers to survey the terrain of the entire Black Kingdom.

This planet is different from the Earth. It is larger than the Earth, but also more disaster-prone.

Norman had never seen a monster before and just thought it was a problem of the movement of the earth's crust and continental plates.

Now I understand that the frequent natural disasters such as earthquakes, tsunamis, floods, etc. are most likely caused by the actions of monsters!

The reason why Norman had never seen them was probably because the area where the monsters were moving was not on the same plane as the surface. Rather, they were moving underground, indirectly interfering with the surface.

According to this and the trajectory of the monster's actions, there is likely to be an underground world similar to the Monster Universe beneath this huge planet!
Of course, that has nothing to do with Norman. He is now conducting a geological survey and considering how to properly accommodate his people.

"Your Majesty, the address has been chosen."

"Well, this is it. We must protect them well. Children and pregnant women who are still alive cannot sleep for a long time, so they will need some food. We need to collect the food we have deployed across the country and gather it all in the royal city."

"As ordered!"

After giving the order, Norman returned to the palace.

Inside the palace, craftsmen had already prepared the coffins for Norman and his ministers.

"Your Majesty, this is the coffin bed that has been passed down. Although it is not very auspicious, for us now, this bed made of special stones is the most suitable."

The craftsman smiled and said, "We have done another experiment. If we put it in an icy or cold place, the effect will be doubled. If we put it in a hot place, it will give us some special powers. We are trying other environments."

"Well, that's what we need. Think more and try more."

Norman nodded with satisfaction. He had made many efforts and attempts to enlighten the people.

Although the common people have not yet completely walked out, his ministers have already understood his ideas, and the children are also receiving the most advanced education at the time.

It only takes two generations for him to get a lot of talents!

At that time, he will be able to build and develop according to the memories of his previous life and re-create a great civilization!

Unfortunately, it was interrupted by this sudden change.

"Let me try this."

Norman said this and lay directly into the coffin bed that was tailor-made for him.

It looks like a coffin board, except it's made of special mineral and has many patterns carved on it.

That is the blood magic in the inherited memory, which can help them better absorb the energy of nature.

Norman lay down and felt it. After lying in it, he could feel obvious changes.

The natural energy that was originally flowing into his body slowly is now flowing into his body at an extremely exaggerated speed with the help of the coffin bed!
In just a moment, his strength increased significantly.

And there is also a feeling of fullness and no need to eat anymore.

"Not bad!"

Norman opened his eyes and sat up, nodding with satisfaction, "That's right, but I found that the core of the coffin bed is the pattern of blood magic, so can we change the style of the coffin bed?"

"We are also considering this, but it is not possible at the moment because this set of patterns is perfectly suited to the shape of the coffin bed. If we want to change it, we need to change the structure of the patterns. However, we will do our best!"

"Well, that's it. Let's push it forward."

"As ordered!"

Everyone from the Ministry of Industry left, and after they left, Norman sat on his throne, turned on the system, and then took out the map and spread it out.

The servant beside him came forward sensibly and took out a torch to help Norman light the way.

Although he doesn't need it now, it's still good to have light.

Looking at the map and system, Norman began to think about improving his own strength.

He wanted to know why the sun went out, but to check it out he needed strength.

He doesn't need to accumulate strength on his own, the most he needs to do is learn some blood magic from the inherited memory.

He wanted to think that the best way to increase his power was to expand his civilization, so that his civilization would have a larger population, more talents, and more geniuses!
The quickest way to achieve this is to absorb refugees from other countries!

If they are willing to come and abide by the rules of the Black Kingdom, then it is not impossible for me to accept them~
After all, it's nothing more than having more people lying on the board together~~~
