"Did I say something wrong?"

Merlin was a little nervous by the seriousness of the old headmaster and Cynthia, and he muttered to himself.

He thought carefully about his answer just now, but still didn't find any omissions.

In fact, before answering this question, he had already carefully thought about whether it would cause any mess if he used the answers of the scientific concepts of his previous life.

After all, he had already decided to think twice before doing things.

The first thing he thought about was whether his remarks would have any effect on the great Lord of the Flame, or whether it would hurt the interests of the Templar Church, so that he would really be in opposition to the behemoth from now on.

There's no way, who made the churches in those novels that Merlin read in his previous life all villains, and even for a while the protagonist was embarrassed to go out to meet people if he didn't overthrow a church, and what church's beliefs, things that seemed to be great and righteous such as the God of Light must have something dirty hidden behind them.

However, when he combed through the memories of the original owner, he found that such an outcome could not happen.

First of all, the Lord of the Flame is not the traditional belief in God, the myth records that when the Lord of the Torch, who is still a human being, witnesses the miracle of the flame for the first time, he naturally grasps the power of the flame, just like a person is born to breathe, the flame has become his instinct, at first it is only a faint flame, and then this powerful force that can dispel the darkness gradually grows larger, so strong that the continent is not enough to carry its great power, the great Lord of the Flame will hold the throne high, Ascend to the void and become the sun that illuminates all things.

This means that this big guy becomes a god by strength, mortal faith is dispensable to him, fire is his instinct, even if Merlin explains the principle of flame, it will not have any impact on this big guy, after all, it is impossible for someone to tell you the principle of breathing, and then you won't breathe.

Although Merlin couldn't remember what the definition of fire in this world was for the time being because of the punishment, he still knew one thing very clearly, that is, that definition was summarized by mortals themselves, not oracles.

In fact, Merlin is a little skeptical that the lord himself knows what the principle of his flame is, after all, judging from the description of the god statue and the myth, the character of the lord is also like a flame, a wild and reckless man, a grumpy old brother, and an upright iron Hanhan, this doesn't look like he can use his brain to do research, maybe the power is easy for him, where do you need to know what the principle is.

It is the mortals who really study the flames, the Templar Church that worships the great power of the Lord of the believers, and they have no way to directly grasp the power of the flame just by seeing the flame at a glance like the Lord of the Flame, even if they can borrow a little bit of divine power from the Lord through prayer and faith, but after all, it is a borrowed power, and it cannot be as infinite as the Lord of the Flame.

Therefore, the people of the church can only think about how to maximize the power of the limited flame, and in order to follow this path, it is inevitable to study the flame and understand the principle of the flame.

And what the church eventually came up with was the one called the Flame Codex, which belonged to the holy book of the Templar priest's monk, and it was also the sealed book of memories in Merlin's sea of consciousness.

However, other considerations are not considered for the time being, anyway, no matter what the answer Merlin said, whether it is right or wrong, it will not cause any big mess, and it will only destroy some people's three views.

emmmm, the people of this world should not be as fragile as the mages in a novel he read in his previous life, and his head will explode like the collapse of the three views.

Thinking of this suddenly, Merlin glanced at Cynthia with some concern, this ghost woman is not so fragile, she is a sage anyway, and the direction of her main attack is not flames, if she is mistaken, she is a half-elf majoring in life and natural magic.

He didn't want to kill his sister the next day.

Merlin's gaze was on Cynthia, who was still frowning at the moment with a serious expression and thinking about something.

"That.... Brother, teacher, what is the chemistry? What is oxidation? Do you name the word yourself? ”

Cynthia noticed Merlin's strange eyes, and she immediately furrowed her brows, and then raised her hand like a schoolboy and asked.

Merlin: "........"

Rub, you don't understand, then you have a serious expression.

He looked at Cynthia speechlessly, he was a little worried about this ghost woman just now.

Merlin didn't bother to look at this unreliable sister, he looked at the old headmaster.

And the old headmaster Albert also touched his gray beard and said to Merlin.

"Very interesting insight, this is Your Highness's research results, and also, judging from the knowledge you have shown before, Your Highness, you really shouldn't be satisfied with the standard answers in books, you will definitely have your own opinions."

The old headmaster first praised Merlin, and then asked him with some confusion.

"But Your Highness is smart, but when you are old, you can't keep up with your young people's thinking, and please tell Your Highness more about your so-called chemistry and oxidation reaction."

The old headmaster held Merlin, His Royal Highness, the prince, and euphemistically expressed what he didn't understand.

It's just that although neither he nor Cynthia fully understood, as scholars and wizards who chase knowledge, both of them can keenly perceive the extraordinary remarks that Merlin just made from the part they understood.

Not to mention anything else, just the structure of Merlin's answer just now, the clear and rigorous sentence structure, and the technical terms mixed in the answer, all show that this is not a temporary imaginary thing.

After all, inspiration is generally not able to be expressed so accurately and rigorously, and this kind of rigorous sentence structure is generally only used when expressing those laws.

And Merlin's answer was mixed with terminology that made the two more inclined to this speculation.

Merlin must have studied the flame very deeply, and even had a whole set of theoretical reserves and even a body of knowledge to support the answer he had just given.

Regardless of whether Merlin's personal research results are correct or not, but this system that sounds completely different from the Church's "Fire Codex" is a surprise to chase these two knowledge, this is completely unknown new knowledge, even if the final conclusion is wrong, it is a new research direction, there is nothing more interesting to scholars and wizards than such new knowledge.

Therefore, the old headmaster and Cynthia were full of seriousness just now, they just didn't believe that Merlin, a 16-year-old child, could come up with a new theoretical system by himself, even Cynthia, who had always thought that her younger brother was super powerful, was a little frightened.

However, after the fright, the two of them did become more curious, and the curiosity of scholars and wizards came up, and they were desperate to know the answer.

Merlin: "......."

Looking at the old headmaster and Cynthia's curious eyes as if they were going to swallow him, he had a little headache.

Okay, just look at the expressions of the two of them, and you can see that the world's definition of flame is not the same thing as the scientific definition of his previous life.

But he didn't calculate that it was the terms and nouns in the textbook that caused the two of them to not understand, and if he explained the meaning of those chemical terms, according to the curiosity of these two people, he wouldn't have asked him to pull out the entire chemical system in the end.

It's just that, looking at Cynthia and the old headmaster's almost written "I'm curious" on their faces, Merlin could only bite the bullet and speak.

"You don't have to worry about chemistry, this is the name of my lab notes, and as for oxidation, do you know what oxygen is?"
