“Yes, sir!”

“All right, once everything is prepared, drink the Night Vision Potion, bring backup lanterns, and let’s set off!”

Kent tilted his head back and drank the Night Vision Potion in his hand, nodding to the security personnel guarding the entrance nearby.

The security guard in the guardhouse reached out and pulled down the lever.

Gears grinding beneath the floor, the metal sluice gate parted in the middle, revealing an underground tunnel lit by alchemy lamps.

“Let’s go. We are headed to the first to third underground levels. They are close to ground level but have diverse terrains and complex layouts. Stay close, or you might get lost.”

Kent led the way, stepping into the sloping underground tunnel.

With the entire team inside the tunnel, the metal gate above slowly closed.

With a click, the door panels sealed shut, leaving no gaps.

The atmosphere in the underground tunnel became oppressive in an instant.

The night vision provided by the potion was limited, allowing everyone to see only about 20 meters around them.

To avoid alarming potential enemies, portable lighting devices such as lanterns were kept as backup emergency lights only.

Blindly, the group followed Kent up the stepstones in silence.

On either side of the underground tunnel, variously sized metal pipes covered the walls, resembling both entangled tree roots and large beast veins.

“Drip, drip… ‘

The sound of water droplets falling from somewhere made the silence of the underground tunnel even more pronounced.

Once they reached the corridor on the first underground level, Kent gauged left and right, seeing no anomalies before waving to Fars Scott and saying,

“Fars Scott, start detecting energy leaks. Repairing the underground facility’s alchemy array is our top priority.”

“All right, leave it to me.”

Fars Scott grabbed a bundle of light from the Alchemy Stone and spread it out in the palm of his hand.

The ball of light shrank and condensed into a palm-sized alchemy device.

Noland Lee had read a lot of alchemy knowledge in the past three days.

He now understood the function of this alchemy device without having to use Deconstruction.

This device, called a ‘Handheld Energy Detection Device,’ can detect abnormal energy fluctuations within a radius of 30 meters.

Common energies used by alchemists include Fire, Air, Earth, and Water elemental energies, as well as soul energy.

Soul Energy can be used as any other energy, with high adaptability.

It can be transformed into other energy types at a certain ratio.

Alchemists use the Alchemy Stone to turn Soul Energy into Four Elements energy.

Whereas Death Herald Guild wizards use Meditation Methods, magic wands, magic robes, or other magical items to turn soul energy into death energy.

In the alchemy field, soul energy is also known as unattributed energy.

In a wizard’s eyes, soul energy is one of the three primal forces inherently possessed by every human, alongside physical muscular strength and life force.

Noland Lee learned this knowledge through reading books.

He confirmed that the “Soul Energy” repeatedly mentioned in the books refers to the “Soul Strength” in the system panel information.

Although there may be some difference in the deeper implications between the two, in most cases, they can be treated as the same thing.

Fars Scott waved the Energy Detection Device in the air, reading the energy readings on the device’s panel.

Raising his hand and pointing to the side, he said,

“We’ll go in that direction first, Kent. The water elemental energy is noticeably high there, indicating an alchemy device handling sewage has likely experienced an energy leak.”

“Follow me. If I remember correctly, the place Fars Scott is pointing to should be the sediment pool for domestic wastewater.”

Kent considered the general route and led the team into a corridor.

The number of metal pipes on the walls decreased, but a layer of damp mist appeared instead.

The alchemy creations made by the Golden Federation were of high quality.

These metal pipes, soaked in water vapor for years, showed no signs of rusting.

It was the alchemy array that was more fragile.

It was somewhat like the circuit boards in the field of microelectronics.

Using the Rune Staff to pick up conductive Energy Liquid, alchemists drew array patterns on smooth metal panels.

The array patterns were composed of alchemy runes, which served as the logical language for the array’s operation.

If the energy input into the alchemy array was unstable, the array’s patterns would become damaged, causing the energy to leak out.

This situation is similar to a circuit board being punctured by high-voltage current.

The energy anomaly Fars Scott detected originated from a damaged Sewage Collection Device.

He opened the side cover of the device, turned off the device’s switch, and removed the metal panel with the alchemy array from it.

The alchemy array, a complicated pattern made of alchemy runes and radiating four elemental lights, lay before them. It consisted of uneven, varying-width fold lines, circles, and arcs, densely packed and dizzying to look at.

Noland Lee focused on the alchemy array, threw out a Deconstruction technique, and nodded secretly.

[System Message: ]

[You are about to cast Deconstruction on “Damaged Sewage Collection Array.”]

[You have mastered ‘Basic Alchemy Theory,’ and your Alchemy Rune Study skill is Level 3]

[The energy consumption of this Deconstruction has been reduced to 35 points.]

[Do you want to confirm the Deconstruction?]

When he first arrived, he used Deconstruction to pick out translation errors
