Don’t raise unruly people in extreme cold weather

Chapter 299: After defeating the navy, confront the army

The navy was speechless, but the army would not give up.

An army general that Purficott had met before asked her: "Little Brandless, flying battleships are not rare in our army, but you can't say flying knights are useless, right?"
We don’t want more, a knighthood! All budgets come from the military expenditures of our army, and there is no need for the empire to increase its military budget. This is no problem, right? "

After saying that, the Army General looked at Purficott with the same expectancy, waiting for her answer.

Before coming, many meetings were held within the Army to discuss the issue of flying knights.

This naturally involves budget, personnel, and most importantly, the question of whether the formation of flying knights is necessary in the context of the impending doomsday winter.

It must be said that the Army is relatively pragmatic. They evaluated the positioning and use of the Flying Knight, and finally determined that the Flying Knight can play a huge role even in the context of the apocalyptic winter.

The only thing that might make Purficott refuse this condition is the issue of military budget.

So they did not hesitate to cut themselves off and put the Flying Knight's budget into the Army's military expenditures, squeezing out budget for the Flying Knight by cutting off other budgets.

However, after hearing the army general's words, Purficott just sneered and then took out the flying stone.

"Its production requires the Philosopher's Stone. This is a fantasy material that can only be born based on the Philosopher's Stone. It is a material that does not exist in reality that cannot be created by any other method except using the Philosopher's Stone. I Name it fantasy material, which is a material that does not exist in reality created by fantasy alchemy." Purficott solemnly emphasized the fantasy properties of the flying stone to everyone, which made everyone look surprised. .

Apart from the cracked Philosopher's Stone in Purficott's hand, there is only this Philosopher's Stone in the entire Victoria Empire, and even in the entire Old World, whose existence can be clarified.

The existence of the Flying Stone has actually been sent to the desk of the military headquarters, so the senior generals have no special emotions about it.

"Yes, you can think so, unless there are other alchemists in the empire who can complete the refining of the Philosopher's Stone." Perficott shrugged, pretending to be indifferent, as long as you have one It doesn't matter if you rub the Philosopher's Stone to fly the Sky Stone yourself.

Some people haven't turned around for a long time, but after being reminded by others, they quickly understand what this means.

Immediately, a vice-admiral of the navy asked Purficott: "Do you have to use the Philosopher's Stone to make the Sky Stone? Doesn't this mean that only you, Count Brandlis, can make it in the entire empire?" Flying stone?"

And the only alchemist in the world who can refine the Philosopher's Stone is Perficott.

But does the Empire have a second Philosopher's Stone? The answer is naturally no.

"This is the flying stone, the core component in making the flying knight's armor. It is a magical material that can offset gravity." Purficott introduced to everyone.

Some people quickly reacted and understood why Purficott emphasized this.

The other Philosopher's Stones either only exist in legends or stories, or their whereabouts are unknown and cannot be verified.

Originally, other countries in the Old World did not have alchemists who could challenge the creation of the Philosopher's Stone, but most of them were concentrated in the powerful Old World countries such as Frans. Among them, the alchemists of Frans were the most promising to do this.

Then, they were wiped off the map along with France's capital by Perficot.

Although Purficott once lamented the huge destruction of human technology and culture by doing so, sometimes this is a necessary evil. However, this has also led to a huge impact, that is, Perficott may be the only one in the world who can clearly refine the Philosopher's Stone.

As for the others, they were either dead or beyond their capabilities.

There may be people who are still concentrating on research and do not intend to become famous, but at least no one within the known range can challenge this.

Some people even think that Purfict may not be able to create a second Philosopher's Stone herself, because hers is considered by many people to be the legacy of her parents, and she has no intention of creating another Philosopher's Stone herself. ability.

Otherwise, as a top alchemist, there is no need for her to keep using a broken Philosopher's Stone. She can completely recreate a complete one.

The reason why she didn't do it was because she couldn't do it anymore.

In a sense, this inference cannot be wrong, because Purficott did inherit the inheritance from her parents, and she did not have any intention of refining the second piece of the Philosopher's Stone.

But this doesn't mean that Purficott can't refine the Philosopher's Stone.

Purficott, who inherited all of her parents' alchemical heritage, could completely reproduce the entire process of her parents making the Philosopher's Stone if she wanted to, and correct the mistakes they made in the first place, so that the Philosopher's Stone could be used once and for all. Sex is successfully cultivated.

But this doesn't mean much to Purficott.

She had the Philosopher's Stone, and even though it was broken into two pieces, it wasn't unusable.

And she has no need for more use. One piece is enough, and there is no need to spend a lot of time to refine the second piece.

So this has created a situation that seems quite embarrassing now, that is, the flying stone is completely rubbed by Purficott's own hands. If she doesn't want to rub it, no one can force her.

Obviously, the generals also realized this after reacting.

"So the flying stone can only be made by yourself, little Brandlis?" The Army General looked at Perfectcott and the flying stone she showed off, with a very troubled expression on his face.

Purficott nodded affirmatively, and then said: "The Flying Stone is a product of fantasy alchemy and cannot be made without the Philosopher's Stone, so currently only I can make it.

And even I can only make one or two pieces at a time. It is very difficult to make.

So it is impossible for you to want a flying knight of the Knights Order. If you want to make so many flying stones, I don’t have to do anything else this year, just make flying stones. "

Hearing this, the expressions on the faces of everyone in the Army became the same as those in the Navy, full of disappointment at having their new toy taken away.

However, after taking a look at them, Purficott said in a hesitant tone: "But mass production is impossible, but it is still fine for individual elites.

Although the flying stone is not easy to make, one advantage is that it can be adapted to all levels of Steam Knight armor, even a legend. "
