Soon, Suhlen and Hathaway had searched through the place. In the end, they found six enchanted weapons and three pieces of magical jewelry that could still be repaired. One of them was a ring, a bracelet, and a necklace.
There was not a single space bag. After thousands of years, the enchantments on the space bags would lose their effectiveness. If they were lucky, the items inside would fall out. If they were unlucky, they would be destroyed when the space collapsed.
The three pieces of magical jewelry were made of good materials. If not, the magical light on them would have dissipated long ago. However, the fact that they could be preserved for so long meant that they were of good quality.
"Suhlen, look what I found!" Hathaway shouted in surprise at this moment.
Suhlen quickly put away the items and looked over. He saw Hathaway waving at Suhlen excitedly with a crystal ball in her hand.
"What is this?" Suhlen looked at Hathaway strangely.
"The control center of the arcane realm. This is the control center of this arcane realm!" Hathaway said loudly.
Su Lun was overjoyed. He didn't bother to pick up the scraps anymore and ran over quickly.
"This is the control center of the arcane realm?" Suhlen asked as he took the crystal ball from Hathaway. This crystal ball was not much different from an ordinary crystal ball. However, there was some strange energy in it.
"This is the control center made by the arcanists. After it is activated, it can control the entire arcane realm. However, the energy here has been cut off for a long time. If we want to activate it, we need to reconnect the energy," Hathaway explained.
"Where is the energy source of the arcane realm?"
"The energy source of this arcane realm should be the elemental pool. Such an important facility should be placed in the safest place. If I'm not mistaken, it should be in this castle."
"We've already searched the upper floors and did not find the elemental pool. Then it must be in the basement!" The two did not waste any more time and immediately started looking for the passage to the basement.
After some effort, the two of them finally found a room that led to the basement in an inconspicuous room. Through a long passage, the two of them arrived at the basement of the castle. The basement didn't suffer too much damage, and the crystal magic lamp on the wall was still emitting a faint light.
Some damaged Golems were lying on the ground. In the middle of the basement, a pool with a diameter of ten meters appeared in front of the two. The pool was built with marble, and many complex runic circles were engraved on the marble. The pool was surrounded by energy channels made of magic crystals. These energy channels transmitted the energy in the pool to various parts of the secret realm.
However, the energy in this elemental pool was close to drying up. The original marble wall was full of cracks, and several runes were damaged. Overall, this elemental pool was still 70% complete. Some elemental energy also leaked out from the energy pool.
Although it was damaged, the elemental pool was still partially functional. It could draw energy from the four elemental planes, but the efficiency was very low. This was also why this secret realm could last for thousands of years.
Now that the elemental pool's energy was about to run out, Suhlen had to repair this elemental pool if he wanted to regain control of this arcane realm.
"Hathaway, can this elemental pool be repaired?" Suhlen frowned and asked.
"I need to check it," Hathaway said with a serious expression.
A complete elemental pool required at least a rank 4 wizard to build. Hathaway was only one step away from that. However, the elemental pool in front of them was still 70% complete, so it shouldn't be too difficult to repair it.
The elemental pool was also the energy source of a wizard tower. Only a wizard tower with an elemental pool could be considered a true wizard tower. It used the connection between the four elemental planes, then drew elemental energy from the four elemental planes and gathered it into elemental water.
Elemental water was the most peaceful state of elemental energy. It was also used in many alchemy experiments. Building a complete elemental pool required about 500,000 to 1,000,000 Kinnar. In addition to the basic marble, it also required four high-quality magic gems. One ruby, one sapphire, one emerald, and one topaz. These gems were used to connect the four elemental planes.
If the quality of the gems wasn't high enough, they would explode when they passed through elemental energy. In addition to these, the elemental pool required a large amount of silver and gold, a small amount of mithril, and large high-quality magic crystals.
Large pieces of high quality Magic Crystals had very good magic conductivity, so there was very little loss in the process of conducting magic energy. At the same time, Magic Crystals were very abundant in the material world. Wizards had even grasped the technology to make artificial Magic Crystals. Because Magic Crystals had the highest cost-performance ratio, they were used in large amounts.
The surface of the elemental pool required a large amount of silver coating. Silver, gold, arcane dust, arcane steel, and star iron were used to carve the rune circle. The rune circle in the elemental pool was a large scale energy gathering circle. In addition, there were four rune circles used to connect the four elemental planes.
Hathaway didn't have that many materials in her hands. Fortunately, Suhlen had a lot in his storage space. Some of the materials she didn't have had to be taken down from the scrapped steel puppets. Then she smelted them on the spot.
Hathaway was very familiar with refining and fusing materials. She summoned a ball of Spirit Fire, then controlled the Wizard's Hand to melt all the metals. Finally, she smelted them together and obtained a ball of silver liquid with golden threads.
Suhlen repaired the damaged marble while Hessie didn't smelt the materials. Then Hathaway began to control the Wizard's Hand and used a carving knife to repair the damaged runes on the elemental pool.
Strands of silver wire were extracted from the molten metal and then carefully engraved on the marble wall. The runic array of the Elemental Pool required a very high degree of precision. According to the saying in his previous life, it was accurate to the micrometer. This level of intelligence relied on mental strength to carry out the operation.
Hathaway's movements were very slow. She didn't dare to be careless. Suhlen had been holding his breath for a long time. There were more than 300 runes on the elemental pool. There were more than 90 runes that needed to be repaired. All the runes needed to be engraved to the micrometer.
Hathaway repaired the runes one by one, and the molten metal continued to fill them up. After a few hours, the sky was already dark, and Hathaway finally repaired the last rune. As the runic circle was repaired, a light flashed, and the Elemental Pool that was still leaking no longer leaked out.
In addition to these, the original four magic gems used to connect the four elemental planes also needed to be replaced. After thousands of years of operation, these gems had not been maintained. The connecting channel had become very unstable. There was a possibility that it could be interrupted at any time.
Hathaway took out four red, yellow, blue, and green gems of the same size and quality from her storage bag. She began to carve them with a carving knife. These gems needed to be engraved with symbols that represented the four elements. Compared to the elemental pool, the carving of these gems was much simpler.
Soon, the four magic gems were carved into the shape of a rhombus. Each of the gems was engraved with a rune. Hathaway carefully replaced the original four magic gems in the elemental pool. The four new magic gems were successfully integrated into the four directions of the elemental pool.
"Buzz!"
There was a soft sound, and the whole space seemed to vibrate slightly. Then, four large amounts of energy appeared in the basement. Traces of strange energy flowed into the elemental pool. The elemental energy gathered in the elemental pool and formed a light blue elemental water. Soon, a thin layer of spring water appeared in the elemental pool that had almost reached the bottom.
With the appearance of the elemental water, the concentration of elemental energy in the basement became very high. The establishment of an elemental pool was not only an important source of energy for the secret plane or the wizard tower, but also a great change to the surrounding environment. The most obvious change was the increase in concentration of elemental energy.
The elemental pool could transform the area into an area where elemental energy was active. In this area, the casting speed and mana recovery speed of wizards would be increased. At the same time, the effect of meditation would also be increased. This was very important for wizards.
At the same time, a rich elemental energy could also be used to grow all kinds of magical plants. The rich elemental energy here was more suitable for their growth.
According to the classification of wizards, the concentration of elemental energy was divided into several levels. The place with the highest concentration of elemental energy was called the Elemental Land. In this place, the elemental energy was close to liquefaction. Living in this place for a long time would slowly change the body of the person who lived in this place. In the end, it would even evolve some spell-like abilities.
The second level was the Elemental Land. Most of these places were modified by wizards. Basically, an elemental pool could be modified into a whole area. After that, the third level was the Elemental Land. Most of these places were naturally formed and rich in elemental energy. Usually, many magical plants and magical beasts would grow in these places.
The fourth level was the normal concentration of elemental energy. Most material planes were in this state. The fifth level was the Elemental Land. This kind of environment was not very common in the main material plane. The recovery speed of wizards would be reduced if they meditated here. The seventh level was called the Dead Magic Land.
In this kind of area, elemental energy was extremely scarce. It would be very difficult for wizards to cast spells. The difficulty of casting spells would directly increase by one circle, and the recovery speed would also be very slow. Most of these areas were caused by serious damage to the material plane or serious experimental accidents. The most famous place was the Desert of Despair.
There were also some areas called the Forbidden Magic Land. These places were almost completely devoid of elemental energy. The difficulty of casting spells would be increased by at least two circles. Generally, when low-level wizards came here, they would directly lose their ability to cast spells.
