Exploring Technology in a Wizard World-Chapter 550 - 548 Black Stone Graveyard

"Hmph." After the confrontation, Dean Sige withdrew his gaze and hummed again.

"Alright." The Black Robed Man then spoke, addressing Sige, "I promise you, I will never casually strike against your people again, is that not enough? However, you also need to handle your part, get rid of that old man above you as soon as possible, and take control of the entire Deep Blue Castle."

"It sounds simple," Sige said, "That old man’s strength is far superior to mine. If I dare to act rashly, it will certainly not end well."

"Then are you willing to be always suppressed by him? By the way, you should be very clear about some grudges between him and your father. As long as he is alive, you will never be able to hold power."

"Talking too much is useless. I just ask you one thing, what about the promise you made?"

"It will be fulfilled very soon."

"I hope so."

"Alright, let’s leave it at that, and proceed as we just discussed. Once it is nearly completed, I will meet with you again. Oh, and you can’t always ignore the people from White Stone Tower, they are also a crucial pawn in the grand plan." freewebnoveℓ.com

"You don’t need to remind me. I’m well aware."

"That’s good, goodbye then," the Black Robed Man said, and the next moment, his body turned into black smoke and disappeared into the air.

Sige watched the place where the Black Robed Man had vanished, his expression changing, lost in thought. After a while, he walked out of his office.

Not long after.

In another stone tower.

Sige’s voice sounded, "Members from the White Stone Tower, sorry to have kept you waiting, I’ve been quite busy recently, please forgive me."

"Of course, of course, we fully understand. All of you at Deep Blue Castle are busy, so it’s completely reasonable that we could not see both Deans," the voice of Macbeth responded, "Of course, being able to meet Dean Sige is a great honor indeed."

"Alright, Mr. Macbeth you are too polite, let’s discuss the main issue."

"Yes, let’s discuss the main issue."

A conversation unfolded, around the same time, similar discussions were taking place in several wizard organizations...

...

Florence, to the southwest.

Here, too, was a range of rolling mountains, within which lay a spooky graveyard. Numerous tombstones stood in the graveyard, many of which had become battered under wind and rain, their surfaces showing spiderweb-like cracks, some even broken in half at the waist.

However, that was not the worst of it: the worst was that the entire tombstone had disappeared, the graves caved in under the rain, exposing the skeletons in the coffins below, which were then dragged away by stray dogs and wild animals from who knows where.

This was the abandoned Black Stone Graveyard.

Richard appeared here.

Richard was unaware of the events happening elsewhere, his mind only focused on following through with some of his own plans to explore some things.

He had hypothesized through a series of deductions that there may be treasures of the Black Spirit Empire in the abandoned Black Stone Graveyard, and after spending several days, he had turned his hypothesis into a conclusion.

Now, before him was a dark hole leading underground, silently awaiting exploration.

"Whew—"

Taking a deep breath, Richard, without much fuss, reached back and pulled out a face mask, placing it on his face, and began walking towards the passage.

A few steps before entering, Richard suddenly thought of something, turned his head to look behind him—Pandora was actively following him. She expressed how being locked in a tiny dark room every day, either studying or polishing iron, was nearly stifling her. After accidentally damaging the power system of Eden, she hadn’t caused any more trouble and had behaved very well. It seemed appropriate to reward her with something, like joining him in a fight.

Richard was indifferent about this, agreeing to Pandora’s request, and now looking at her, he simply reminded, "Put on the mask."

"Do I have to?" Pandora pulled out a mask from her chest and asked.

Richard gave an affirmative response. Pandora, reluctantly, put on the mask she thought was very awkward and then followed Richard into the tunnel, both big and small figures moving deep into the passage.

Walking down the inclined path for several minutes, at the bottom, Richard released a spell, summoning a huge light ball that rose and illuminated the surroundings.

What they saw was a vast underground space, with a height of several meters, and an unknown depth. Even with the illumination of the magic light ball, the space looked exceedingly dim. The ceiling, due to humidity, formed water drops that fell one by one. The droplets hit the puddles and made a "plop plop" sound, which was quite unsettling.

Richard didn’t show these emotions. He calmly surveyed the overall environment of the underground space. After a while, he determined a direction and was about to move forward. At the same time, he didn’t forget to shout to Pandora behind him, "Keep up, don’t get lost."

"Okay," Pandora followed obediently.

"Da da da..."

"Da da da..."

The two walked one after the other, and after about a dozen steps, Richard’s footsteps suddenly paused. At the same time, Pandora blinked her big eyes and whispered cautiously, "Richard—"

"Uh-huh, I saw it," Richard responded.

Just then, he and Pandora had almost simultaneously seen another dark figure flash quickly across the top of the underground space, uncertain of what it was.

With a wave of his hand, Richard tried to raise the Spell Light Ball higher to illuminate the top but found nothing. Obviously, the black shadow had been cunning and had run away in a very short time.

What exactly was it?

Richard pressed his lips together, waved his hand, and continued to move forward with Pandora.

They hadn’t gone far when, suddenly, the same black shadow flashed quickly overhead again, creating a louder noise than the first time, as if intentionally trying to startle them.

Richard narrowed his eyes without much hesitation, and pulled out a six-barreled Magic Gun from the Space Iron Ring.

"Click!"

He loaded the heavy Shellless Magic Bullet drum.

"Snap!"

He turned off the safety on the gun.

After completing these actions, Richard waved his hand again and moved forward with Pandora.

"Da, da, da..."

Richard stepped forward, silently counting in his mind.

One step, two steps, three steps... ten steps, eleven steps, twelve steps!

"Whoosh!"

The black shadow appeared again, quickly sweeping across the top of the underground space, preparing to disappear just like before.

But this time, it had miscalculated.

Richard’s hand was on the Magic Gun, and the free-flowing Energy Elements within him surged out, infused into the gun, activating the bullets, followed by a loud "bang" of an explosion.

"Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang!"

The explosions were incessant. In an instant, dense 315 Alloy Bullets, like a swarm of locusts, flew out of the barrel at high speed, bombing the ceiling of the underground hall.

"Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom!"

The 315 Alloy Bullets exploded rapidly, releasing a large amount of gas stored within, their power comparable to artillery shells. Moreover, because of the explosive method, the attack range was smaller, and the concentrated attack power was stronger.

Richard fired dozens of Magic Bullets, the effect nearly equivalent to summoning several artillery battalions for an Artillery Cover Fire Strike.

After this, there was a "snap" sound, and a black shadow fell down, hitting the ground motionless—dead.

Clearly, the "Artillery Cover Fire Strike" had a significant impact, especially on creatures known for their speed, which simply couldn’t withstand it.

In fact, unless a demonized creature reached the level of a Wizard, regardless of what they were adept at, they couldn’t withstand it.

And for those creatures at the Wizard level, it wasn’t that they could withstand it. However... at least they could die with some dignity, such as having a chance to scream a few times before death, unlike the one that just fell, which died without even realizing what happened.

Richard felt little pity for this, stepping forward to check what creature it was.
