"This could be an opportunity for us," Olivia said.
"Oh? What opportunity?"
"The opportunity to conquer Milky Way Galaxy."
The other two were stunned for a moment, then Dumbledore said:
"Indeed. If the undead disaster is severe enough, we can take this opportunity to quickly increase the population and even conquer the entire galaxy."
The former Dumbledore would never have agreed to this kind of behavior of conquering others through violence. However, after wandering in space for many years and witnessing the chaos and cruelty of the universe, he understood that this might be the best choice.
In his opinion, although Empire has many dark sides that he does not agree with - even those that are considered necessary - compared to the horrors elsewhere in Milky Way Galaxy, Empire is simply Heaven.
Perhaps, by conquering Milky Way Galaxy, they can bring some degree of order and peace to this chaotic star field.
"That's right. My plan can be divided into four steps: wealth accumulation, reputation, population, and redemption." Olivia analyzed clearly.
"The first is to make money. Under the current situation, resources that can restrain the undead will become extremely precious. Using the knowledge just brought back by Ian, we can sell a large number of magic props and potions against the undead. We can even dump them in large quantities to those Eighth Tier civilizations, because our production speed is faster than theirs."
"In this way, we can promote the rapid development of the Empire by gathering massive resources," Dumbledore commented.
"Steps two and three are self-explanatory. By selling these resources, we can establish a positive image for the Empire and officially demonstrate our status as a powerful civilization of Milky Way Galaxy to the outside world."
"With this good reputation, we can absorb a large number of people by buying slaves or convincing other forces to submit. In this way, we can slowly and steadily annex one galaxy after another and expand our territory."
"Finally, when the time is right, we can take action to defeat that Bleach and become the heroes of Milky Way Galaxy. At that time, depending on how high and high our reputation is, it will become logical to rule the entire Milky Way Galaxy."
"This plan is indeed feasible," Dumbledore said while stroking his beard, "But there are still a few problems. At present, we don't know how strong that Bleach is. If it is just Eighth Tier, other civilizations should be able to handle it."
"Secondly, although Empire possesses many powerful weapons, Arcanist's individual strength is still too weak."
"After all, so far, only Imperial Family members own Sixth Tier Arcanist."
"We can't do anything about Bleach for the time being, but we can solve the second problem," Ian added, "I plan to open 'Time Acceleration Chamber' to the public. In that way, Arcanist people can pay to enter and spend enough time inside to impact Sixth Tier, while the outside world will only pass by for a short period of time."
Hearing this, Dumbledore was slightly surprised. "Sometimes, I am really surprised by your generosity and confidence."
In Old Era, as one of the most powerful wizards at the time, Dumbledore's knowledge far exceeded that of most people.
Even so, however, he was never so generous - and it wasn't entirely selfish.
His mind-set was such that he never thought of sharing magical knowledge to encourage the creation of more knowledge.
In addition, at that time, he lived in fear that he might create another Voldemort, so naturally he would not disclose the knowledge that could give people powerful power.
Ian doesn't care about the professor's evaluation. He never worries about others catching up or surpassing him; he is so confident that he can even be said to be a little arrogant.
Moreover, this decision seemed risky, but he knew it was not.
First of all, no matter how many Sixth Tier strong men appear in the Empire, they can still be instantly wiped out in front of Floating City.
Secondly, through his method, more than 50% of those who take advantage of this opportunity to be promoted to Sixth Tier will belong to his camp, thus ensuring his power and control.
Finally, this move will greatly accelerate the development of the Empire.
If you want to enter these Time Room, you need to pay a large amount of "Arcane Merit". And where do these merits come from?
Naturally, it comes from the research results and knowledge of these Arcanist.
In order to collect enough merit, many people will have no choice but to hand over their private research and discoveries, which in turn will benefit Ian and Empire as a whole.
After using their merits to improve their strength or rank, they will invest in the research and development of new magic and technology.
Then, they will use the new achievements again to exchange for merits to become stronger, thus forming a virtuous cycle of continuous progress and development.
This is exactly the consistent model Ian has used to develop Empire and maintain its leading position.
"Okay, let's go home."
The three people immediately boarded the spacecraft and returned at full speed. At the same time, the scavengers who were forcibly driven away by Ian breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly rushed towards the planet.
Since a powerful Sixth Tier spellcaster has arrived here, there must be some secret hidden on that planet.
As long as they can find even a little trace of Silk horse, they can sell it for a sky-high price.
After returning to the Empire, Ian convened a meeting consisting of Elder Council, Imperial Navy commanders and generals, and Think Tank.
They discussed Olivia's plan and implementation plan. After all, if the plan succeeds, Empire's territory will expand dramatically.
This requires the formulation of corresponding laws and regulations to properly manage these new territories and solve the problem of how to integrate the new population into the Empire.
There are so many things to consider.
When Ian was deeply involved in political affairs, Dumbledore, who had been away from home for decades, finally returned to Earth.
He reunited with old friends -- mainly former Order of the Phoenix members.
Many people were shocked when they saw him because they thought he had died after that legendary battle.
Finally, Dumbledore reunited with his old love Grindelwald. The two immediately went on a short vacation.
A few days later, a bombshell news was released to all citizens living in the three systems currently controlled by the Empire.
To be precise, Imperial Navy has conquered 7 galaxies, but the remaining 4 are either lifeless or only mindless creatures used as training targets.
The three galaxies with intelligent life are Solar System, Metal Galaxy inhabited by the Phil Tribe, and New Fur Galaxy from which Cat Tribe originated.
Other systems are mainly used for mining resources and establishing military bases.
Back to the topic, the announcement announced three major events:
First, in view of the current turbulent situation of Milky Way Galaxy, Empire decided to establish "Time Acceleration Chamber" to allow Arcanist to impact higher ranks at a faster speed.
Second, all resources that help individuals become Arcanist or advance to a higher level will be sold at a discount until the situation stabilizes.
This news makes everyone realize that an era of rapid development is coming - especially combined with the recent update of the Library, many secondary professions or new professions will usher in prosperity.
The new magic system created by Hermione has unearthed many new "Arcane Warlock".
That "Word Blessing Enchantment Method" creates a new branch of Alchemy.
Some people may not be talented in traditional rune enchantment, but are talented in this new method.
As a result, many new Alchemy men were born.
The same principle applies to "Herbal Enchantment Method" brought back and improved by Snape from the parallel universe of Chloe.
Coupled with the increase in the population with magical talents, Empire's future looks bright.
Additionally, Lily has drafted her "Druid Career" manifesto and will soon begin testing qualified candidates.
This means there will be more Arcanist emerging.
On a train, Chris Tiu was browsing the web using the terminal on his wrist when he suddenly received a notification.
After reading it, he couldn't control himself and shouted "Yeah!".
Immediately, he realized his gaffe and quickly looked around. When he found that the box he was in was empty, he breathed a sigh of relief.
With this update, I can accumulate enough merit in less than 25 years.
But he calmed down quickly.
No, I don't know how long this nationwide discount will last. I must seize this opportunity to change my destiny. But where can I get so many merits? I can find someone to borrow them, or even get a loan from a bank.
There are very strict qualifications to apply for a merit loan. This Fawley is usually only for ordinary citizens with a certain income. Moreover, a contract must be signed to guarantee repayment.
Chris I don't know if I qualify.
No matter what, it's better to try than not to try. Even if I fail, at least I know that I tried hard.
Without wasting any time, he logged into the relevant website and filled out the application form.
After doing this, he contacted a few close acquaintances to see if he could borrow some merit.
