41. A little demon
"Found it, this is it."
The old headmaster turned, and he had a heavy book in his hand.
Merlin quickly glanced at the name of the book, and had a little bottom in his heart, this should be stable.
"Alchemy", a very famous book, it and "Potions" and "Monster Illustration" are collectively known as the three basic introductory secrets, and everyone basically has a copy on the mysterious side, which is equivalent to a dictionary for ordinary people.
Of course, just as few people can memorize all the dictionaries, these three books are also easy to learn and difficult to master, and most people on the mysterious side dare not pack a ticket to say that they have read all three classics, and most people only have the knowledge of which of the more commonly used ones.
However, the pervert of the original owner has studied these three classics quite deeply and studied them very thoroughly, which is also the origin of Merlin's current confidence.
In the sea of consciousness, Merlin beckoned, and in the library of memory, a huge book automatically flew out, this one has the same cover as the one in the hands of the old headmaster in reality, and it is also a book of "Alchemy", but the old headmaster's book is only about seven or eight centimeters thick, and the one that flew from the sea of consciousness has a thickness of nearly two meters.
Merlin: "......."
He looked up at this book that was taller than others a little speechlessly, but he could understand why this book was so thick, because it included the original owner's annotations to the original version of "Alchemy", as well as the original owner's own views and some research records, the thickness of this book of memory is enough to show how deep the original owner's research on this "Alchemy" is.
But the problem is that he absorbs the memories of the original owner by flipping through the book of absorbing memories.,Such a thick thing.,How do you want him to absorb it at once.,Your head will explode.。 Even if his brain can afford to eat, but how long does it take to digest so many memories, now that the assessment is about to start, how can he have time to digest it slowly.
Of course, he can also choose to wait for the old principal to ask any questions, and he feels that finding the answer from this thick book is equivalent to an open-book exam.
This plan is feasible, the only problem is that although the book of memory looks like a book, it is a memory and not a real book, first of all, there is a point that this thing does not have a table of contents that a book should have, there is no table of contents, I don't know what knowledge is on which page, so it is difficult to find a certain piece of knowledge from the two-meter-thick book......
"Wow, I'm in a hurry, I shouldn't be so impulsive that I'm not ready for anything, so I'll come and report it."
Merlin reflected on his mistakes.
He still took things for granted, and originally thought that he would be able to become a professor by reporting here today, but he didn't expect this interview assessment to suddenly increase because of his age.
In the end, he still hasn't adjusted his mentality.,Really treat this as a game.,When you run a task in the game, the NPC won't suddenly make things difficult for you because of the age of the game character you pinch.,The game's task chain is fixed.,But the reality will always have all kinds of unexpected accidents.。
"You have to think about it before you do anything next time, and you can't be reckless as soon as your head is hot."
He warned himself in his heart, but he didn't panic too much.
After all, the problem is very big, and it's useless to panic, and although the Book of Memories doesn't have a retrieval function, his golden finger has it, but this retrieval requires a little bit of luck.
..................
"Then let's get started, Your Highness Merlin, do you need some time to prepare?"
After the old headmaster sat down again, he still asked Merlin kindly.
"No, I'm ready, you can start at any time."
Merlin shook his head and replied with a seemingly relaxed and confident attitude.
"Okay, let's start with something simple."
The old headmaster nodded, silently opened the book in his hand, and then he raised his head and looked directly at Merlin with his reading glasses.
"What are the most basic rules of alchemy?"
Merlin: "......"
What's the matter, do you want to send sub-questions? Or is the old headmaster really treating him as a child, using this kind of beginner's question to test him?
Merlin, who had read a super-good-looking alchemy-themed comic in his previous life, almost blurted out an equivalent exchange, but he had just decided that he couldn't be too impulsive in doing things, and he swallowed the words that came to his mouth again.
"KP, have a mystical life."
[rd=10, host occult 90, verdict passed, you recall the answer to this question.] 】
With the system prompt, the two-meter-thick book in Merlin's Sea of Consciousness automatically turned the page, and finally stuck on a certain page, and a small memory merged into his soul.
"Equivalent exchange, all alchemy should follow the rules of equivalent exchange."
After confirming that it was correct, Merlin replied.
"Yes, I wish everyone had this rule in mind, and this rule doesn't just apply to alchemy."
The old headmaster nodded, and then muttered the sentence in a tone that seemed to be very story-telling.
"Yes, Mr. Headmaster, I'll keep that in mind."
Merlin nodded earnestly, and put on a good boy posture who had been taught.
Although he was actually a little curious about the old headmaster's story about the equivalent exchange, it was rude to snoop on someone else's past.
"Okay, let's get started."
When the old headmaster saw Merlin's modest and teachable appearance, he couldn't help but nod secretly, and his eyes became more kind.
"What is the next question, what is the one who is above or outside?"
Merlin: "Gods or nature. ”
"What about those who are below or within?"
Merlin: "The fire of the human heart or the soul." ”
"What are the seven pillars of alchemy?"
Merlin: "Seven stars, seven metals, seven organs of the human body." ”
"What about the specific description?"
Merlin: "The seven stars of the sun, moon, gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, the seven metals of gold, silver, copper, iron, tin, mercury, and lead, and the seven organs of the heart, brain, kidney, stomach, liver, lungs, and spleen." ”
"What about the four elements?"
..............
The old headmaster asked questions one after another, and in Merlin's mind, the dice that he alone could hear, rang out non-stop.
Fortunately, 90 of the occult is capricious, which means that the probability of him passing the judgment is as high as 90 percent, and the probability of 90 percent is that if it can be crooked, how wrong it is.
And the old headmaster saw that Merlin was really fluent, and he seemed to be addicted to the assessment, so he simply closed the book "Alchemy", and then the scope of the questions raised also expanded to the entire occult, potions, Warcraft demeanor, alien customs, the history of the gods, the distribution of mysterious side organizations, etc., almost asking whatever comes to mind.
But Merlin didn't panic at all, his life was as stable as an old dog, but every time he made a judgment, he doubled his confidence, and he became more and more calm and calm.
The old headmaster looked at Merlin at this time as if he were looking at a treasure, he was so satisfied, he had this level of knowledge at such a young age, and he didn't seem to have practiced magic and witchcraft, this was simply a genius of the scholar's profession.
Albert couldn't wait to make Merlin his heir immediately, after all, it was really too difficult for scholars to find a decent inheritor these days.
It's just that after all, this is the first time they have met, and it's not good to be too direct, so the old principal had to hold back his heart and prepare to end this assessment.
"So the last question, what does Your Highness think of the flame? What is the principle? ”
He asked the last question, which was also a question to be given, after all, the flame represented by the Lord of the Torch is the faith of human beings, and a believer knows the answer.
Merlin was relieved to hear the last question.
"It's finally over, it's steady, kp, continue the occult."
[rd=91, host occult 90, judgment failed.....]
Merlin: "........."
