Duke, who left the dungeon, met with Kasmai again, only to see Duke say with an extremely disappointed expression: "Bishop Kasmai, I have failed your trust and did not ask for any useful information from Gandalf's mouth. ”

Hearing Duke's words, Kasmai looked indifferent, and even comforted Duke and said, "Lord Duke, you don't have to be too discouraged, Gandalf is a fallen dark magician, and stubbornness and evil are their characteristics. As long as you continue to serve the Lord devoutly, we will eventually eradicate the evil thoughts in Stormfort!"

"You're right, Bishop Carsmail!"

There was a sad expression on Duke's face, but in his heart it was like a meme in the future, that is, on the surface, he pandered to "yes yes yes", but in fact we all know that he is stupid!

That night, a fire broke out in the Inquisition of Stormfort, and the entire Inquisition dungeon was in flames. Standing at the top of the castle tower, Duke looked at the burning flames from afar, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise slightly, and Gandalf was wearing a black robe at the moment, standing beside him.

"Are you clear about the issue of porcelain firing?" Duke looked away from the flames and looked at Gandalf beside him.

"Understood, it's impossible to just fire porcelain with the power of magic. ”

"Why? Isn't it true that a high-level fire mage can manipulate the flames at will?"

Duke looked puzzled at this time, Princess Gina shouldn't lie to herself, could it be that Gandalf, who had worked so hard to rescue, was a parallel import? No, the parallel goods Carsmail wouldn't make him a "luxury suite" in the dungeon alone, right?

Gandalf had a mocking smile on his face at this time, looked at Duke and said, "Little one, how long do you think a magician can last when he casts a spell, and how long does it take to fire porcelain?"

When he heard this, Duke instantly understood what Gandalf was trying to say, that is, there was no way for magic to last for so long!

In the Song Dynasty, which was the same era on the earth, it took two to three days to fire a kiln of porcelain, and Duke had already used coke to raise the kiln temperature, and it still took about a day. Even if it is an electric kiln and a gas kiln in modern society, it takes six hours to fire a kiln of porcelain at the earliest!

Six hours of continuous magic control, let alone a high-level magician, even the Grand Magus can't do it, and releasing an ultimate forbidden spell is only chanting for an hour or two, no wonder Gandalf also exudes an idiot-like look!

But now Duke is in no mood to care about this, and if even Gandalf can't do it, then there is little hope of successfully firing porcelain. Winter is starting to get colder and colder, and at this pace, it is estimated that it will not be able to withstand the monster invasion, and the entire Storm Castle will collapse.

At this time, Duke couldn't help but wonder if Henry VII was really fooled by the cannon, believing that he was a young talent to give a stage to display. Judging from the current situation, Storm Castle is more like a Jedi, looking for someone to take the blame!

Seeing the lost expression on Duke's face, Gandalf said unhurriedly: "Actually, it is not impossible to maintain a stable temperature. ”

Duke, who was already feeling desperate, suddenly heard Gandalf say this, as if a drowning man was holding the last straw, and quickly turned to Gandalf and asked, "What can you do?"

As long as you provide enough magic crystals, I can draw a magic array to continue casting, let alone a few days, even a few years!"

When he heard this term, a memory suddenly came to Duke's mind, a magic array is a formation drawn with magic materials, and a small amount of magic power is injected into the drawing, so that it runs in a specific trajectory in the magic array. And in the operation, it echoes with the magic power of the outside world, thus enhancing the magic power of the caster to a certain extent.

"There's nothing wrong with the magic crystal, Gandalf, go draw the magic array!" Duke felt extremely excited, as long as the controllability of the temperature was solved, then everything would no longer be a problem.

"If you want me to draw a magic array, you have to promise me one thing. ”

"What's the matter?" Duke quickly asked.

"Tell me what the truth of science is!"

Gandalf looked at Duke with feverish eyes, and he still recorded the scene in the dungeon in his mind, whether it was Duke's lever principle, or his absolute confidence in declaring that he controlled the truth, which made Gandalf extremely curious,

"There is no single sentence that can summarize the truth of science, so Gandalf, I cannot tell you right now what the truth of science is. But I assure you, the magic of science is no less than the magic you know. Even if you want, soon you will be able to feel the charm of science. ”

"Soon?"

"That's right, soon. Duke had that mysterious smile on his face again.

As soon as Gandalf saw the smile on Duke's face, he felt that the little guy in front of him seemed to be a different person, and he had an incomparable confidence in science. That's why, in the end, he was willing to follow the young man in the dungeon.

Science, is it really that magical?

Gandalf eventually went to the kiln in the back garden to draw the magic circle, but fortunately, although Storm Castle was terriblely poor, the magic crystals were quite abundant in the warehouse. It is estimated that the previous lord faced the approaching winter, and he hurriedly left before he could realize the spar, and finally left Duke with a trace of capital to turn around.

Duke did not continue to guard the kiln, for he had already told Abner the potter what he had known on paper. Now that the difficulty of temperature control has also been broken, the next thing is to look at Abner's level, and it will be in the way if he is too point-in-command.

What's more, he still has an urgent matter to deal with now, and that is that the residents that Princess Gina told him before have coughing, fatigue, and even vomiting. Although winter is not the peak period of the epidemic, but in the current tense situation, if there is a little more fluctuation, it is very likely that the mood of the entire Storm Castle people will collapse, resulting in all their previous actions such as cash-for-work, increasing the treatment of military forces, etc., in vain, and if it is serious, it may lead to civil strife.

Now that the matter regarding the porcelain aspect has basically been settled, it is just a matter of waiting for the final result. So Duke began to shift his energy to the epidemic that appeared in Stormcastle, and a terrible epidemic like the Black Death must be controlled, otherwise in this era without antibiotics, once it completely breaks out, it will be a crisis of the destruction of the whole city.

But fortunately, Duke still has a way to prepare for it, and he has told Princess Gina before that he has an ace. And this trump card is the scientific pioneers he saved before!
