Nikola was not an Alchemist, but after spending so much time with Merlin, although he always maintained a frightening rationality, when the temptation of Truth appeared, he would still waver slightly, just like that greed for knowledge, falling into a somewhat mad obsession.
But if things went according to Merlin's expectations, he might never be able to glimpse that Truth he sought.
Old memories arose for some reason at this moment, and Merlin murmured.
"I don't know why, but I suddenly thought of my teacher."
Nikola remained silent on the side, unsure of how to respond, perhaps it was also that sense of awe stirring within him. He had been exceptionally included in the Perpetual Motion Pump, and for a long time, Merlin was like his teacher. Although not formally acknowledged, this was how Nikola felt.
Merlin began to talk to himself.
