It may seem strange that the cotton in the clay pot is lit without any open flame, but it doesn't actually use any divine power.

In physics, this phenomenon is often referred to as adiabatic compression.

According to the first law of thermodynamics, mechanical energy and thermal energy can be converted into each other.

What Clara did was actually a simple piston device, through which she converted the work done by pressing down on the iron rod into internal energy, which caused the temperature in the jar to rise to the ignition point of the cotton, thus igniting the cotton.

The most widespread application for this phenomenon is diesel engines.

However, Clara found out about this when Li Yu was cheering up the basketball, and she noticed that the outer wall of the gas bag was warm to the touch, quite warm.

Li Yu happened to be idle at that time, so he reproduced this classic physics experiment with her.

And the little maid at that time had no idea that she would one day need to rely on this experiment to save her life.

But anyway, she at least passed the first level.

It wasn't until she got back inside that Clara realized that her back was soaked, and she collapsed on the bed so that she couldn't even lift her arms.

The adiabatic compression experiment sounds simple, but in fact it is not that easy to operate, and the success rate is not very high.

Especially if you don't press down fast enough, or if the seal isn't good enough, it's easy to fail.

Li Yu's experiments were successful for the third time after two failures, and Clara herself didn't expect that she could do it the first time.

When Herodotus looked into the clay pot, the little maid was so nervous that she couldn't breathe, for fear that the cotton inside was still safe and sound.

Fortunately, at the critical moment, Saturday still favored her.

The little maid secretly swore in her heart that if she could return to the green field, she must study hard, after all, studying can save her life.

The next evening, Herodotus found Clara again.

didn't say any nonsense, and directly asked the little maid to help him contact Picia again.

And this time Herodotus asked a somewhat strange question, he asked the goddess, "Is it time?" ”

Clara stabbed the iron rod again, and as she did the first, she used all her strength, but this time she didn't succeed for some reason, and the cotton in the jar was unharmed.

Herodotus' eyes flickered, and the little maid on the side didn't dare to make a sound.

However, perhaps because of last night's events, it was proved that Clara could indeed help contact Picia, so Herodotus didn't say anything.

When the goddess answered his question, and on the third day, Herodotus continued, "Saturday has given Merlin the power to perform all kinds of miracles. In order to defeat Merlin and his Twin Cult, can you also give me a part of your divine power? ”

Clara continued to stab, and this time with good luck, the cotton in the clay pot was set on fire again, but probably only half burned due to lack of oxygen, and half of it remained.

Herodotus frowned again at this.

Ruby on the side said, "Goddess, she may mean that she will give you divine powers, but you need to be tested first. ”

"Mouthy." Herodotus said lightly.

That being said, it seems that Herodotus also approved of Ruby's words, and his brow furrowed a lot, and he planned to ask the goddess tomorrow when he would put him to the test.

However, in the middle of the night, Herodotus received an urgent letter from the Guardians.

The letter said that about seven or eight more noble families had openly proclaimed their support for High Priest Martina, and had sent troops to join her cathars, and that High Priest Martina had gathered 5,000 men in advance, and was expected to march out of the city in three days.

The people in the city were now panicking, and Sir Ed was so anxious that he jumped to his feet and said that if Herodotus did not return, he would directly open the city and surrender.

In addition, the Figuerola family has finally made a move.

The Marquis of Cullen personally intervened, intending to meet with Herodotus and High Priest Martina in Rock Snow City to see if they could mediate the conflict and prevent the nobles of the Western Frontier from being involved in this religious war.

The Emissary has now reached the City of Scales.

Herodotus finally got in touch with Picia again these days, even if only through an oracle, it was better than the previous state where he couldn't hear anything, and he regained his lost direction.

Now that he was suddenly interrupted, he was inevitably a little unhappy, but Herodotus, the face of the Figuerola family, couldn't not be given now, at least not now, so he knew that it was almost time to go back.

However, after receiving the letter, Herodotus stayed in Iron Horn for another day, just to ask Picia one more question, which was also the most crucial one.

This question frightened the little maid on the spot, and the iron rod in her hand almost fell to the ground.

"I have received the oracle you sent down earlier, and I know that the time has not yet come, but I will not hand over the city of Scales easily, and our enemies must pay the price, only then can we show your majesty."

In the thick of smoke, Herodotus' voice sounded like it was coming from far away.

"Allow me to use the potion found in the ancient forbidden text, the Green Dream, which will bloom the most beautiful flowers in the bodies of thousands of enemies."

Hearing this, Clara made up her mind on the spot, this time she must poke slowly, and she must not let the cotton at the bottom of the clay pot burn.

Although she is not a believer in the Silvermoon Church, nor is she from the side of High Priest Martina, if Herodotus's plan is allowed to succeed, the city of Scales will be bleeding.

And these people are not dying on the battlefield, but under unknown poison, which is also too tragic.

But the little maid did not expect Herodotus to turn the corner at last, "I also know that you have always been merciful, if you object, let the cotton at the bottom of the bottle burn." ”

Clara can be said to have tried her best this time, and even her little face turned red and slammed down.

As a result, he smashed the clay pot directly.

The little maid looked at the clay pot that had been poked in the ground, and was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly said, "I'm sorry, my hand just slipped and we can start again." ”

"No need, the goddess has already given me an answer." Herodotus said as he kicked the broken pottery shard off the ground with his foot, picked up the lump of cotton underneath, and put it in front of his eyes.

I saw that the lump of cotton was intact, exactly the same as when it was first put in.

Herodotus was relieved, "It seems that the Goddess is as I thought, the Church has been weak for thousands of years, and it is time to start hardening and make the enemies feel the wrath of the Goddess."

"It's not just High Priest Martina and Prophet Merlin...... I will defeat all my opponents and spread the divine grace of the goddess to every corner of the continent. Herodotus said confidently.
