Exploring Technology in a Wizard World

Chapter 447: Chapter 446: Seeing the Black Spirit Empire’s Emblem Again

Richard descended the iron cover and entered an unfamiliar underground space, shrouded in darkness so profound that he couldn’t see his hand before his face. Yet, he was not alarmed, his eyes flashed a faint red glow, activating the spell “Dark Vision.”

In the darkness, light invisible to the normal eye fell upon his retina, and under the spell’s influence, rapidly formed images, allowing Richard to see unimpeded, surveying the underground space around him.

He found that the entire space was about two hundred square meters, taking the shape of a hall that was over twenty meters long and more than ten meters wide.

On the floor of the hall, there were numerous black iron chests, their surfaces coated with a special paint to prevent rust.

“Tap, tap, tap…”

Richard stepped forward and approached the nearest black iron chest. He opened it and saw that it was filled with an array of gold and silver jewelry and precious stones.

“Tap, tap, tap…”

Moving on, he stepped over to the second chest. Upon opening it, he found it was filled with gold coins. The third chest contained silver coins.

All these chests had their contents reduced to less than half, having evidently been used by the Death Mage. After all, research required funding, which had nowhere to be spent during the first few years of being trapped on the island. But later, with the capability and possession of a Ghost Ship that could freely travel between the mainland and Undead Island, the Death Mage had plenty of expenses that necessitated money.

Although none of these details were mentioned in the diary scrolls, Richard could guess as much.

Not to mention, how could the Divination Woman have gathered information about the ships at the port without money?

With these thoughts, Richard opened the fourth chest and his eyes lit up.
