It may seem incredible to light cotton in a clay pot without using any open flame, but in fact no divine power is used.
In physics this phenomenon is often called 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 this device, she converted the work of pressing down the iron rod into internal energy, causing the temperature in the jar to rise, reaching the ignition point of the cotton, thus igniting the cotton.
Regarding this phenomenon, the most widespread application is diesel engines.
However, Clara discovered this when Li Yu was inflating the basketball. She noticed that the outer wall of the inflator felt warm to the touch, quite warm.
Li Yu happened to have nothing to do at the time, so he recreated this classic physics experiment with her.
The little maid at that time had no idea that one day she would need to rely on this experiment to save her life.
But no matter what, she at least passed the first level.
It wasn't until she returned to the house that Clara realized that her back was soaked, and then she collapsed on the bed, unable to 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 high.
Especially if the pressing speed is not fast enough or the sealing is not good enough, it is easy to fail.
Li Yu's previous experiments had failed twice before succeeding the third time. 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, fearing that the cotton inside was still safe.
Fortunately, at the critical moment, Saturday still took care of her.
The little maid secretly vowed in her heart that if she could return to the green field, she must study hard. After all, studying can save lives.
The next evening, Herodotus found Clara again.
Without saying any nonsense, he directly asked the maid to help him contact Picia.
This time Herodotus’s question was a little weird. He asked the goddess, “Is it time?”
Clara pushed down the iron rod again, and just like the first time, she also used all her strength, but this time she failed for some reason, and the cotton in the jar was safe.
Herodotus's eyes flickered, and the little maid beside him did not dare to say anything.
But perhaps because what happened last night proved that Clara could indeed help contact Piscia, Herodotus didn't say anything.
Only when the goddess answered his question, and then on the third day, Herodotus continued to ask, "Saturday gave Merlin divine power, allowing him to perform various miracles. In order to defeat Merlin and his Shuangxiujiao, you also
Can you give me part of your divine power?"
Clara continued to poke, and this time she was lucky. The cotton in the clay pot was ignited again, but only half of it was burned probably because of insufficient oxygen, and the other half remained.
Herodotus frowned again when he saw this.
Ruby on the side said, "The goddess may mean that she will give you divine power, but you need to accept the test first."
"Talk too much." Herodotus said calmly.
Having said that, it seemed that Herodotus also recognized Ruby's words, his brows widened a lot, and he planned to ask the goddess tomorrow when she would give him a test.
But in the middle of the night, Herodotus received an urgent message from the Guards Corps.
The letter said that about seven or eight other noble families had publicly declared their support for High Priest Martina and sent troops to join her skitarii. High Priest Martina had gathered enough 5,000 people in advance and expected to leave the lake in three days.
The city opens.
People in the city were now in panic. Sir Eddard was so anxious that he announced that if Herodotus didn't come back, he would surrender directly to the city.
In addition, the Figuerola family finally took action.
Marquis Cullen personally came forward and planned to meet with Herodotus and High Priest Martina in Rock Snow City to see if he could mediate the conflict and prevent the nobles of the Western Region from being involved in this religious war.

The envoy has now arrived at Duolin City.
Herodotus finally got in touch with Pissia these days. Even if it was only through the oracle, it was better than the previous state of not hearing anything. He also regained the direction he had lost.
Now that he was suddenly interrupted, he felt a little unhappy, but Herodotus couldn't deny the Figuerola family's respect, at least not now, so he knew it was almost time to go back.
However, after receiving the letter, Herodotus stayed in Iron Horn City for one more day, just to ask Piscia one more question, which was also the most critical question.
This question made the little maid tremble with fright on the spot, and she almost dropped the iron rod in her hand to the ground.
"I have received your previous oracle and know that the time has not yet come, but I will not hand over the Scaled City easily. Our enemies must pay the price. Only in this way can we show your majesty."
In the thick smoke, Herodotus's voice sounded like it was coming from a very far away place.
"Please allow me to use the magic potion found in the ancient forbidden book - Green Dream. It will bloom the most beautiful flowers in the bodies of thousands of enemies."
After hearing these words, Clara made up her mind on the spot. She must poke slowly this time and never let the cotton at the bottom of the clay pot burn.
Although she is not a believer of the Silver Moon Church, nor is she from the High Priest Martina's side, if Herodotus' plan were to succeed, the Scaled City would probably be a river of blood.
Moreover, these people did not die on the battlefield, but died from unknown poisons. This is too tragic.
But the little maid did not expect that Herodotus would turn around in the end and said, "I also know that you have always been kind. If you object, just let the cotton at the bottom of the bottle burn."
It can be said that Clara tried her best this time, even her face turned red, and she pounded down hard.
As a result, the clay pot was smashed directly.
The little maid looked at the pottery pot with a hole on the ground. She was stunned for a moment, and then said hurriedly, "I'm sorry, my hand slipped just now. We can try it again with a new one."
"No need, the goddess has already given me the answer." Herodotus said as he kicked away the broken pottery pieces on the ground with his feet, picked up the ball of cotton underneath, and placed it in front of his eyes.
You can see that the ball of cotton is intact, just like when it was first put in.
Herodotus said happily, "It seems that the goddess is thinking like me. The church has been weak for thousands of years. It's time to start to get tough and let the enemies feel the wrath of the goddess.
"Not just High Priest Martina and Prophet Merlin... I will defeat all opponents and spread the goddess's grace to every corner of the continent." Herodotus said confidently.
