Chapter 252 Preparation before slaying the dragon
Slaying the dragon is a great deed that can be praised in any era.
In the history of Victoria, there was a famous dragon-slaying knight, Saint George. The flag pattern he used when slaying the dragon is still added to the flag of the empire as an important symbol.
For any knight, if there is a chance to fight, defeat and kill a dragon, this is enough to make him risk everything.
In Purficott's eyes, this dragon is not considered powerful.
After all, if it is just a body of flesh and blood, although the pressure brought by a mere twenty meters in length is strong, in Purficott's eyes, it is only an existence that can be broken with one blow.
There are indeed some beings in this world that transcend the limits of the ordinary world, but they have not reached the point where quantitative changes lead to qualitative changes, making her feel invincible.
Of course, beings that have broken through the limits can rely on their bodies to fight against swords. For example, if the old butler Foster could have said that he was invulnerable in the era of cold weapons.
But what about the industrial revolution now? If the swords and muskets can't hit, then use the artillery. If the eight-pounder can't hit, use the 12-pounder. If the 12-pounder can't hit, then use the 24-pounder. There are always weapons that can hit.
Although there are extraordinary beings in this world, no matter how powerful the extraordinary beings are, they are not strong enough to compete with the defensive power of the city wall.
Perhaps Purficott is not the most outstanding alchemist in the world in the study of alchemy. At least she thinks that there is still a huge gap between her and her parents. But if we talk about the degree of martial virtue, it has been burned out. Perfectikt, who lives in three cities, claims to be the second in the world, but no one dares to claim the first.
To kill a dragon, she may need to make some preparations, but it is definitely not impossible.
In fact, if Perficott really wanted to kill her, she could have set the entire valley on fire and burned the dragon alive in the valley.
She has observed through her omniscient eye that although the dragon is covered in a thick layer of carrion and has a good defense, it relies on the rich hydrogen sulfide in the valley. The resulting miasma can survive.
The place with the strongest concentration of hydrogen sulfide in the entire valley is the area where this dragon lives.
Purficott didn't know how it did it, but considering that terrestrial creatures can grow to a huge size of more than 20 meters, maybe there is something special about it, right?
This also made Purficott a little curious about this dragon, so he did not directly set the entire valley on fire.
After all, the impact of doing this is indeed quite big. She is not sure whether after she ignites the valley, the underground natural gas fields will also be ignited.
As for the oil lake? As a trivia fact, crude oil is difficult to ignite when put on fire.
Although the ignition point of crude oil is not high, and some crude oil can even be used directly as fuel, most crude oil is difficult to ignite under normal circumstances even if it is ignited with fire.
Therefore, Purficott was not worried that if he really set a fire, he would ignite the oil lake.
But now that she gave up the idea of igniting the entire valley, she naturally had to prepare another plan to slay the dragon.
Fortunately, Purficott brought a lot of knights and steam knight armors this time, and these guys are full of enthusiasm for dragon slaying and can't wait to become dragon slaying knights.
Perfect naturally did not stop this. All she wanted was for the dragon to die. As for other issues such as honor, she was too lazy to consider it. So after telling Samantha to preside over the dragon slaying, she spent her energy and time investigating the situation around the valley. After all, she saw the magic spring on the way here, which made Purficott curious about this Is there anything special about the valley?
Faced with Purfict's willful behavior, Samantha did not forget her duties, or in other words, she was not dazzled by the great cause of dragon slaying like other knights.
She just told a few white bear knights to observe the dragon's habits and life trajectory, and find a suitable place for ambush and battle. She always followed Purficott, protecting her every step of the way.
Although there are not many dangers that may be encountered in the wild, in Samantha's opinion, not to mention that there is a dragon in the valley, even if it is just another beast, it may still threaten Perfico To be special and safe, she must provide adequate protection for Purficott.
Samantha also knew that if Purficott wanted to, she could even kill the dragon in the valley by herself.
Even if Samantha puts on the Steam Knight armor, she will not be much better than a child with no strength in front of Purficott.
The oppressive power of one of the most powerful alchemists in the world is so powerful.
Perfect always behaves like an ordinary person, which makes many people ignore her fear and power.
Even Samantha herself often thinks that Purfict is just a weak aristocratic lady who needs to be protected because of her ordinary appearance, thus ignoring this "weak" aristocratic lady. If you want, you can always level a mountain to the ground.
But even so, Samantha will not neglect her duties. She is a knight, and her duty is to protect Perfecticot, so no matter whether Perfecticot needs her protection or not, She must protect her with due diligence and fulfill her responsibilities.
"Samantha, I remember you told me about your brother. If you have time, you can ask him to come to the north." Purficott wore a mask that covered most of her face. The complex glasses on the face were observing a plant on the ground while speaking to Samantha.
"About my brother..." Surprise appeared on Samantha's face, and then she asked: "Are you really willing to treat him?"
She did not doubt whether Perficott could be cured. Her own brother, but she was not sure that she could ask Perfectcott to take action in this matter.
Although Purficott had promised to treat her brother before this, with Purficott's identity here, she really was not sure about it, and it was difficult to say this.
After all, in terms of status, she is a knight loyal to the royal family, not a knight loyal to the northern lords, although she received the emperor's order to protect Perfect Court.
But it was obvious that Purficott didn't care about these things. She just smiled and said: "From what you said, your brother's injury is not a troublesome thing, but I may hurt him." Experimenting with some new ideas, in a sense, he is also my test subject, as long as you don’t mind.”
Of course Samantha doesn't mind this kind of thing, and even from another perspective, if Purficott says she needs a test subject, the person who is willing to make her a test subject and lie on the test bed may not be the most powerful person, but it is also a capable person. .
After saying this, Purficott dug out a plant from the ground, put it into a specimen box nearby, patted the soil on his hands, and then asked Samantha: "Slay the dragon. How are you preparing for it?”
