However, if he pulled out a magic ring engraved with high-level mental magic, no matter the explanation, it would still raise suspicion.

Secondly, without the help of “Mind Beacon,” Noland Lee would have to cast “Mind View” towards the Imperial Soldier, which might trigger their mental alertness and alert the enemy.

In order to avoid these troublesome issues, Noland Lee simply hid the “Mind Beacon” and “Mind View,” and instead exhibited “Sense Tampering” under the guise of a magic ring.

Noland Lee told Derek Davis that his magic ring, engraved with “Sense Tampering,” could cast “Sense Tampering” seven times a day.

These seven “Sense Tampering” casts served as seven safety measures to avoid alerting the cargo ship.

Besides that, he also had a magic spell to track the living, allowing him to keep an eye on the movements of people on the ship.

With this, Derek agreed to Noland Lee’s request to join the mission.

The two settled on an infiltration plan to be executed by just the two of them. The rest of the team would remain obediently on the boat.

With Derek’s credibility, none of his team members objected. Neither the exploration team members nor Miss Esme Smith had any objections.

After some preparation, Noland Lee, dressed in an alchemy diving suit, jumped into the pitch-black seawater with Derek.

On the sea surface, raindrops fell from the sky, splashing black water droplets.

Under the sea, the alchemy array on the back of the alchemy diving suit propelled Noland Lee and Derek quickly towards the cargo ship with water jets.

The appearance of this diving suit was similar to a frogman’s outfit, with multiple practical alchemy arrays arranged on it.

When moving quickly underwater, no bubbles would flow out from the mask and there would be no noise.

Bubbles and noise, the two things that might reveal their whereabouts, were all dealt with by the alchemy arrays on the suit.

Once they left the water surface, the alchemy array absorbed seawater from the alchemy diving suit, cleaning the water stains all over the body in an extremely short amount of time, eliminating the possibility of water footprints exposing their tracks.

Apart from that, the suit was bulletproof, fireproof, shock-resistant, acid-resistant, and poisonous gas-resistant, providing comprehensive protection.

Noland Lee initially thought that this kind of alchemy diving suit was a regulated item, but after learning more, he found out that it was just standard equipment for an exploration team and not considered a regulated item.

“The situation at sea is much more complicated than on a cargo ship, so of course, we have to protect ourselves properly,” Hudson told Noland Lee while helping him put on the diving suit.

From this, one could easily infer how dangerous the ocean was for mankind.

Noland Lee silently prayed he and Derek would not encounter any sea monsters when approaching the cargo ship.

He closely followed behind Derek, allowing the alchemical propulsion system on his back to propel him forward.
