Chapter 147 Entering the Warehouse
After the airship landed, Purficott couldn't wait to get off the airship with all the knights and headed towards the warehouse.
The snow on the ground made it difficult for everyone to move forward. Even if the knights had strong strength, they still had difficulty trudging.
After all, as long as you step into the one-meter-deep snowman, your entire lower body will sink into it. Every step forward is a huge challenge and requires several times more effort than usual.
Perfect was supported by several knights, and the heavy winter coat on her body became a burden at this time, seriously affecting her movements.
Purficott couldn't stand having to be supported at almost every step. Unbearable, she finally took out her cane, and then cast a large-scale alchemy spell out.
The originally soft snow was "frozen" solid almost instantly, as if it was compacted, allowing it to withstand people walking on it without sinking.
"This makes it much easier, now move forward at full speed." Stepping on the snow that had been slightly melted and then refrozen, and feeling the thick feeling under his feet, Purficott was quickly satisfied. He walked towards the warehouse.
Following some of the alchemist's habits too much made her forget that she actually had a bug.
What is impossible for ordinary alchemists to do is just a simple operation in front of her.
This kind of large-scale modification of the state of the snow is a delicate operation. After all, the snow needs to be "frozen" firmly but not directly turned into ice. This does have certain requirements for the precision of the operation.
Although any alchemist with the title of "Union" can do this level of micro-management, there is a subtle difference between being able to do it and being able to do it.
As for the operation itself of performing alchemy on a large scale? So far, only Purficott, a special case blessed by the Philosopher's Stone, can defeat Alchemy as a map editor.
Because it was just micro-management, Purfict's mental consumption was not high, so when she came to the door of the warehouse where the Steam Knight armor parts were stored, she used alchemy to clear a direct path to the warehouse. The slope of the gate does not require the knights to dig in time and effort.
Of course, she has not forgotten that she has completely sealed the door of this warehouse with alchemy. Only alchemy can open the door again.
As several knights pushed open the door of the warehouse and looked at the neatly stacked crates in the warehouse, Purficott nodded with satisfaction, and then ordered the knights beside him: "Have someone open the boxes and assemble them first." Forty sets of armor come out, I guess you don’t need me to teach you how to equip them, right?”
Just like knights in the old days needed to learn how to take care of their horses and maintain their weapons and armor, steam knights need to learn how to take care of their horses and maintain weapons and armor. You also need to learn to maintain your armor yourself.
Although this thing involves a lot of professional engineering and alchemy knowledge, if it is just simple maintenance, it is not too difficult to memorize the technical manual.
The knights of the White Bear Knights have been studying for a while. Although they cannot be called professional, at least simple maintenance and assembly are no problem.
"Please rest assured, we are already able to assemble and disassemble armor skillfully." The knight next to him answered confidently.
He was not bragging. The ten sets of steam knight armors of the White Bear Knights had been observed by them many times. Many knights had even disassembled, maintained and reassembled them themselves, in order to allow them to understand themselves more deeply. The armor and weapons that will be needed in the future.
For a knight, if he is not familiar with his own armor and weapons, then he is undoubtedly not a qualified knight. Purficott nodded and didn't say anything else. He just said "Leave it to you", then turned and left the warehouse, heading towards the warehouse previously set up to isolate patients.
She could see that there was white smoke coming out of the warehouse, and there were obviously people alive inside.
Of course, it is impossible that there are no living people. Although the communication between the fjord camp and the Eagle Beak Cliff base is cut off, the connection between the two sides has not been interrupted.
After all, they are not far apart. It is not a big problem to pull a telegraph wire or simply set up a radio. In order to save trouble, Purficott simply prepared both in order to still be able to operate in extremely harsh weather conditions. Keep communications open.
Fortunately, although the blizzard was indeed very exaggerated, because Topperfield had the telegraph wire buried underground along the railroad tracks, there was no problem with the blizzard.
Before coming, Perficott had contacted this place and confirmed that there were no major problems at the fjord camp.
Still using the same alchemy method to open the way, Purficott directly opened the door to the warehouse.
"Your Majesty the Earl!" Seeing Purficott appear at the door of the warehouse, Second Lieutenant Mikhail suddenly showed an expression of surprise, dropped the things in his hands and came to her, excitedly asking her Salute.
And her head maid, Befa, also stopped what she was doing and came to Perficott.
Somewhat beyond Purficott's expectations, but it seems reasonable. More than half of the maids in the warehouse have been put aside. Only Befa and a few other maids have been put aside. It is still operating and caring for patients.
"No need to be polite." Purficott waved his hand and then asked with concern: "How is the situation here? What kind of support does the camp need?"
"The main thing now is The problem is that there is insufficient fuel. We even have to save the fuel for heating food according to the ration. The military camp is said to be running out of fuel. Butler Foster sent a group of people to cut wood before, but this season It’s really difficult to get enough firewood.” Mikhail hurriedly reported the situation to Purficott, with a worried expression on his face.
However, listening to his answer, Purficott asked with some confusion: "Why did you use the word "supposedly"? Could it be..."
Purficott glanced at the snow outside the warehouse that was almost as high as the warehouse door. He shook his head helplessly and said, "Okay, I understand. Is the snow sealing you here?"
< br>"The snow is really too deep. We tried to send people to the military camp to inquire about the situation before, but we couldn't get through." Mikhail looked a little embarrassed, and then explained: "I tried to use I made a sled with stretchers and planks, and tried to transport a batch of supplies to the military camp, but it was buried in snow halfway, and it was really difficult to get through. "
Although Mikhail's words were revealing. He felt that the situation was very bad, but he was not particularly worried.
This is not because he is heartless, but because there is a radio station at the military camp to communicate with the Eagle Beak Cliff Base. If there is any big problem, Butler Foster will definitely report it to Purficott. Call for help instead of waiting to die.
