After checking the area that needed to be repaired, it was the area where Suhlen and Kate came in. Suhlen then checked the map of the entire Mysterious Realm.
Suhlen could clearly see all the areas in the Mysterious Realm through the 3D map. Other than the plantation area, there were also the living area, the warehouse area, the production area, the entertainment area, and the central area.
The central area was where Suhlen and Hathaway were now. It used to be inhabited by Arcanists, and the environment was the best. However, after the war, it was the most damaged area in the entire Mysterious Realm. Not many buildings were still intact.
The warehouse area and the production area were also badly damaged. According to the original plan of the Mysterious Realm, there should be an alchemy workshop in the production area that could produce many magic items, potions, and so on. There was even a production line for golems here. However, the production area was now in ruins. The production line should have been destroyed a long time ago.
As for the warehouse area, which stored a large number of materials and produced items, it was also in a mess. As for the things here, if they were not used up, then they were directly snatched away. Basically, there was nothing left.
The entertainment area was not badly damaged, but there was basically nothing valuable here. The arena, the opera house, the health center, and so on were basically worthless.
There was also a library here, but unfortunately, it was also destroyed. Although Suhlen had gained control of the Mysterious Realm, it was still in ruins. If he wanted to use it, he would have to repair it bit by bit.
The amount of work required to repair the Mysterious Realm was huge, but there were also many benefits after the repair. The most obvious one was that he could grow a lot of magical plants here. However, the most important thing now was to hide the Mysterious Realm again.
Suhlen left the Mysterious Realm with Hathaway. When they returned to the Thorn Forest, the camp had been completed. According to Suhlen's instructions, the soldiers of Northtown City had sealed off the forest. The goblins, kobolds, and gnolls around the area had all been driven away.
"Master, you're back," Kate said respectfully.
"Did anyone come close to the forest while I was away?" Suhlen asked.
"Sir, I haven't noticed anyone approaching this place during this period of time."
Suhlen nodded and praised, "Well done. Continue to seal this place."
After a simple meal, Suhlen brought Hathaway back to Northern Citadel. Repairing the Mysterious Realm required a lot of materials, including Silver, Gold, Copper, Iron, Magic Crystals, Mithril, Magic Gemstones, and so on. Luckily, Northern Citadel was already prosperous enough. It had all kinds of resources. Silver, Gold, and other precious metals could be taken out from the castle's warehouse. He had looted the gray dwarf's collection for a few hundred years, so he had plenty of them.
It was the same for the Magic Gems. As for the copper and iron, some would be transported from blacksmiths and some would be purchased directly. The Magic Crystals were a bit more troublesome since there were no crystal mines in the Suhlen territory. There were crystal mines in the underground world, but they were scattered and needed people to mine them.
He didn't have a lot of Mithril, but the silver mine that the gray dwarf Bach was mining did produce Mithril. Although it wasn't much, it was more than enough to repair the Mysterious Realm.
After spending three days preparing all the materials needed to repair the Mysterious Realm, Suhlen left the matters of Northern Citadel to Kris. He then brought Hathaway to the Northern Citadel again.
There were all kinds of mutated plants in the Thorn Forest. Although the man-eating flowers and trees were dangerous, they also ensured the safety of the Mysterious Realm. Suhlen and Hathaway had already experienced this before, so they easily avoided the man-eating plants. They then used the Hypnosis Powder to pass through the sea of purple tulips and returned to the Mysterious Realm.
"Welcome back, Mr. Suhlen and Ms. Hathaway!" Tower Spirit No. 1's voice rang out.
"Tower Spirit No. 1, did anyone else enter the Mysterious Realm when we left?" Suhlen asked.
"No!"
"That's good. Show me the blueprint."
"As you wish!" As Tower Spirit No. 1's voice rang out, a 3D image appeared in front of the two along with the blueprint. Hathaway cast a Photographic Image spell and stored the information in a magic crystal. Then the two began to repair the Mysterious Realm according to the blueprint.
The first thing to be repaired was the ley line nodes. When the Mysterious Realm was first built, rune pillars were placed on all the ley line nodes to connect and organize the ley line energy. These rune pillars were the foundation of the Mysterious Realm's space folding spell. This was the direct reason why the Mysterious Realm was damaged.
According to the red dots on the 3D map, Suhlen and Hathaway quickly found a ley line energy node. These locations were originally classified as the Mysterious Realm's secrets, but they were easily found with the blueprint.
Hathaway used her power of the will to search and soon found something strange. She then used her mana to search for the rune pillars.
"Found it. It's 30 meters underground!" Hathaway soon opened her eyes.
"Get up and let me do it." Suhlen took out a small flag from his storage space. Then he waved it gently and directly summoned two wind elementals.
"Stone to Mud!"
With a flash of light, the originally hard ground turned into mud. Then the two wind elementals entered the mud under Suhlen's command. A large amount of mud was pulled out by the wind elementals. After the mud was extracted, Suhlen cast Stone to Mud again and let the two wind elementals work.
Soon, after repeating a few times, a deep hole was easily dug out. Then they took out the rune pillars buried inside.
This step was a bit difficult because the rune pillars were connected to the ley line energy. They had to cut off the connection between the rune pillars and the ground. Originally, there was a rune formation at the ley line energy node to suppress the ley line, but this rune formation had been damaged long ago. Hathaway could only make a rune formation herself.
Fortunately, this kind of rune formation was not difficult for Hathaway. After setting up the rune formation, Suhlen moved the rune pillars. The ley line energy began to vibrate. Hathaway activated the rune formation. A yellow light flashed, and then the ley line energy calmed down.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Suhlen immediately took out the rune pillars from the ground. This was a rune pillar about three meters long and 20 centimeters in diameter. There were many runes engraved on it, but because of the long time and lack of maintenance, many of the runes on this rune pillar had been blurred.
It was the failure of these runes that caused the ley line energy node to lose its original function. After taking out the rune pillars, Hathaway cleaned up the rune pillars and then smelted them again. The rune pillars were made of an alloy called thorium.
Thorium was a synthetic metal invented during the Arcane Empire. This metal had high plasticity, good magic conductivity, and stable properties. It was used in many places. The main metal of this alloy was silver. At first, it was to develop a metal that could replace mithril. However, the effect was far from what was expected, but it was still a good magic metal.
Hathaway summoned Psionic Fire, then melted the rune pillars again and added some other materials. Thorium was a magic alloy that had been around for thousands of years. After inheriting part of the arcanists' knowledge, although the wizards did not restore the original glorious civilization of the arcanists, they also made breakthroughs in some fields. Thorium was one of them.
After the rune pillars were melted, Hathaway operated the Wizard's Hand to shape the rune pillars. Suhlen also summoned the Wizard's Hand to help. Finally, he released a Frostbeam to cool down the rune pillars. After the rune pillars were refined, the runes needed to be engraved again.
The runes that needed to be engraved on the thorium pillars were backed up by the Tower Spirit No. 1. The Tower Spirit No. 1 had a lot of knowledge from the Arcane Empire in its database, which was basically about the secret realm. It was not an exaggeration to say that as long as one learned all the knowledge, one could build a new secret realm like this.
When the Arcane Empire built the secret realm, they kept a backup of the secret realm's production technology and blueprints. These were originally reserved for the restoration of the secret realm. Now, all of them were taken advantage of by Suhlen.
Hathaway took out several items such as gem powder, gold, silver, Grine Water, and so on to fuse them. After the materials were fused, she took out a fine gold carving knife and began to engrave the runes on the thorium pillars.
The fine gold carving knife was very sharp. Under the operation of the Wizard's Hand, it began to work quickly. Hathaway had memorized the runes that needed to be engraved on the thorium pillars very clearly. Once she started, it was done smoothly.
Soon, the new runes were engraved, and a rune pillar was completed. After a series of tests to meet the requirements, Suhlen and Hathaway once again put the rune pillars back to their original place, and then restored the ground to its original state. There was a flash of light, and the Space Magic Circle, which had been somewhat scattered, began to stabilize.
After seeing the effect of the repair, the two went to the next damaged earth vein node according to the repair drawings given by the Tower Spirit.
There were more than 100 such earth vein nodes in the entire secret realm. This time, more than 20 of them were damaged. It would take a lot of effort to repair all of them. However, even if these earth vein nodes were all repaired, the Space Folding Rune Array of the secret realm was still not completed.
If the secret realm was regarded as a net, the earth vein nodes were the nodes of the net, and the energy channels were the network cables of the fishing net. Only when the fishing net was in a complete state could the entire secret realm be hidden in the Space Folding Rune Array.
