Half an hour later.
In the classroom.
"Dear mentor, I want to learn magic."
"Nonsense, this is science; you must believe in science! You must respect knowledge!"
Ah Deng earnestly corrected Yi Lin's statement.
"Actually, isn't the defense circuit of Yishita Port and the design of the entire city from the hands of the Grand Engineering Institute? But the Church, in order to solidify 'Divine Authority', hid all this away and declared it to be 'Divine Grace'?"
Yi Lin had already reached this conclusion after personally trying to construct an ultra-large compound circuit and understanding the hidden structures within Yishita Port.
"..."
On hearing this, Ah Deng fell silent in an instant.
A moment later, Ah Deng, now serious, cleared his throat twice, "That's not important."
"Heh."
"However, my dear student, you guessed right."
Ah Deng gave a slight smile as he casually drew a simple "subordinate heating circuit" and placed a flask filled with clear water on it.
