This is along the lines of a quote by Louis Pasteur that I use all the time with student and junior scientists at work, "chance only favours the mind which is prepared" basically meaning that you can only get lucky if you are open to and prepared to take advantage of it. The history of the quote is also a neat confluence of physics (my field of study) and microbiology (similar to what I do professionally), so it has stuck with me through the years.
I am so glad to see Denken doing his thing. He is one of my favorite characters from this series outside of the past/present main party. Also, Fern continues to surprise demon and human alike with her ability to mask mana.
Yup, that's exactly what I'm talking about; finding the yeast and lactobacilli in the beet juice was luck, but actually associating them with alcoholic vs. lactic fermentation requires that sort of knowledge that only comes with diligent experience. (Another case that comes to my mind is Fleming and the penicillin. )
About Denken, I feel like it's one of the things that this series does the best - even the side characters show some depth.
