Chapter 88 I have no power to keep them alive
"Your Majesty, Baroness, what are you looking at?" On the pier, the female knight Samantha who was responsible for guarding Perfectcott today looked at Perfectcott and suddenly stopped. He stepped down and looked into the distance, then asked curiously.
After asking this question, Samantha felt a little regretful, because these days she also had some misunderstandings about Perfectcott, thinking that she was a willful aristocratic lady, and she couldn't help but worry that she would She was turned into stone for talking too much.
Although Purfict was usually very easy-going and seemed easy to talk to, Samantha still remembered that on the first day they set out, Purfict kicked out his colleagues and superiors. Not only did they get out of the team and let them return to their homeland, they were also given a bad name for betraying the royal family and the empire.
Such a charge is very fatal for a knight, especially when they are a knight guard who specializes in protecting the royal family. Such an accusation is enough to put a knight family in ruins.
Although that was indeed the fault of the other party, it also gave Samantha a very deep first impression, that is, Perfectcott was not an easy person to get along with.
What happened later in New Shaker City further supported this point. When she was assassinated, the murderer should indeed be traced. Even revenge was acceptable, but creating a massacre was still a problem in Samantha's opinion. It's too much.
After all, they smelled the smell of blood and corpses for a whole week!
So much so that when they left New Shaker City, Samantha even felt that her clothes and hair were covered in these two smells that were difficult to dissipate and wash away!
One can imagine what kind of impression Samantha had on Perfectcott at this time.
Not to mention the two times she showed off her alchemy skills were terrifying.
Whether it is turning a person into a living statue or building a pier from a flat base, it is enough to show that Perficott is highly accomplished in this area and is worthy of her title of master of alchemy.
And Purficott's attainments and strength in alchemy have far surpassed those weak alchemists in Samantha's impression.
As I have said before, alchemists are a profession that relies on knowledge, and their extraordinary levels are also linked to knowledge. This has led to the fact that although some alchemist masters have extraordinary academic achievements, they are not as good as others. In terms of combat effectiveness...
Generally speaking, no general or military commander would send an alchemist to the battlefield.
In addition to the waste of natural resources, it is also because even if an alchemist goes to the battlefield, the combat effectiveness he can exert is extremely limited.
In the age of chivalry, the greatest damage an alchemist could cause was to blow up his own laboratory.
But on the battlefield, whether it is combat potions or enchanted equipment, you must seek help from a powerful and excellent alchemist.
In other words, this is a logistics profession, and alchemy has never been used for combat.
But Purficott is different, her alchemy is frighteningly powerful.
Based on Samantha’s many years of experience and the training she received as a guard knight to resist assassinations from various extraordinary professions, compared with a normal alchemist, the threat and damage that Perficott can cause is at least ordinary. Ten times as good as the Alchemist!
And this number is still a conservative estimate, because apart from building a seaport pier on flat land, there are really few examples of Perfection's true strength. This also led to other people's serious underestimation of her strength.
It also made Samantha feel fearful when facing Purficott.
"I'm looking at the sea. Do you think that if one day the world is destroyed and people can no longer see such scenery, will anyone lament what we are accustomed to seeing now?" Perficott He answered Samantha's question and also asked her a somewhat philosophical question.
Faced with the question raised by Purficott, Samantha was a little stunned, but she still answered: "Maybe, maybe not. If the world is really destroyed, I'm afraid people will think more about how to live at that time. Go on, instead of lamenting about this, right?"
"Indeed, for human beings, survival is the first need of life, and spiritual satisfaction is the last need." Perficott smiled casually, and then. Instead of continuing to think about this problem, I asked Samantha: "You seem to be afraid of me? What are you afraid of?"
"I am not, Your Ladyship, you are too worried." Of course Samantha denied it at this time. She didn't want to make Purficott unhappy.
However, Purficott didn't care and just smiled at Samantha: "Because I caused a horrific massacre? Indeed, you have enough reason to be afraid of me like this. Afraid that I will target you with killings."
Perficott's words left Samantha speechless and could only stand aside in silence.
"I think what you really want to ask me is why I killed so many people, right?" Purficott turned around and looked directly into Samantha's eyes, acting nothing like a fourteen-year-old The aristocratic girl is more like an old man who has settled down after experiencing many experiences.
In the end, Samantha did not remain silent in response to this issue.
After all, as a knight, although the era of knights has passed and chivalry has mostly been reduced to a kind of arty spirit, there are still people who follow the ancient creed, not fearing the powerful and protecting the weak.
Although Samantha does not strictly demand herself with chivalry, she still has a certain sense of justice.
After all, being able to become a true knight is impossible if you don’t have a firm enough belief in your heart.
So after being silent for a while, she asked Purficott the question buried in her heart: "Why did you kill so many people? Many of them were not guilty enough to die, and there were even innocent people who were implicated."
"You ask me why I want to kill them. This is indeed a good question, but I'm afraid I can't give you the answer now." Purficott showed a slightly bitter smile, but then Then explained to Samantha: "Don't get me wrong, I'm not making excuses for my killing, nor do I know how to answer this question. I just can't tell you the truth for the time being, because it's a secret.
But I can answer part of your doubts. You ask me why I want to kill them. What I can tell you is that when you truly understand why all this is, you will understand that I have no power to keep them alive. ”
