Don’t raise unruly people in extreme cold weather

Chapter 63 The Rescue Begins

After everything was ready, Purficott also boarded the Morrigan, standing on the bow of the ship and looking at the ice below. O'Connor and others had completed the final inspection and were evacuating.

Although people like them who knew how to explode were needed to lay the explosives and fuses, the actual detonation was left to Perfectcott's puppet.

After all, this is a blasting operation on the ice. If something goes wrong and it falls into the water, it will freeze directly into an ice sculpture.

For safety reasons, it is safer to have the puppet perform the final detonation. It is also because the puppet is more efficient and accurate, and there will be no mistakes or errors.

Although this rescue plan was almost thought up by Purficott on the spot, all the steps and processes had not been actually tested or inspected. Even the alchemy potion used to melt the ice was improvised by her.

But for Purficott, she is still confident and confident in her plan.

This is the confidence that a top alchemy master has in himself and in his own works.

"Miss, everything is ready. The Morrigan's boiler has been pressurized. All it takes is your order to execute the plan." The old butler Foster appeared in front of Purfe carrying a musket. Kurt was beside her, reporting the situation to her.

Purficott nodded. Seeing that everything was in place, he stretched out his hand to hold the railing on the side of the ship and nodded to the old butler: "In that case, let's get started!"

After hearing Purficott's instructions, the old butler raised the musket in his hand and pulled the trigger toward the sky.

However, no bullet was fired, which made the old housekeeper suddenly sweat on his nervous forehead.

Purficott also frowned when she saw this. She hated such unplanned changes and mistakes, and her voice became serious when she spoke: "What's going on?"

"The hammer is frozen. This kind of musket is not designed for use in such a cold environment." The old butler hurriedly explained, and then knocked on the gun body, breaking the ice condensed on it, and finally successfully The bullet in the gun chamber was fired, causing a loud gunshot.

As the gunfire rang out, O'Connor and others who heard the gunfire in the distance also set off red flares as agreed.

Seeing the signal flare rising, the captain of the Morrigan immediately gave the order to move forward at full speed. The boiler, which had already reached the maximum pressure according to the instructions, immediately output the surging power to the power system, driving the propeller under the hull to rotate.

At the same time, an alchemy doll also activated the alchemy potions buried around the Morrigan's hull in a prearranged order.

These agents were released the moment they were activated, covering the ice around the Morrigan almost in the blink of an eye, and releasing a large amount of heat to quickly melt the ice.

A burst of white steam immediately rose and enveloped the Morrigan's hull.

But these did not affect the captain who had already received instructions from Purficott. He personally took the helm and controlled the Morrigan to move forward at full speed.

It's just that there is still frozen ice ahead. If the ice cannot be broken in time, the Morrigan will still not be able to escape, and it will also cause the hull to crack due to hitting the ice at full speed, and there is even a risk of sinking.

However, at this time, the captain showed great courage and trust in Purficott. Even though there was no waterway ahead, he still let the Morrigan move forward at full speed without hesitation.

He believed that Purficott would not risk the lives of hundreds of people at such a time, especially since she herself was on the ship. And Purficott obviously did not live up to the captain's trust. After the Morrigan moved, the first explosion point on the ice ahead was accurately detonated according to Purficott's calculations.

When the ice surface was exploded, the Morrigan sailed into the blasted area before the ice layer was frozen.

"It seems that my calculations are not wrong. I can leave a little margin next time." Standing on the bow of the ship, Purficott held one hand on the side of the ship and held a pocket watch in the other hand to check the time.

Feeling the vibrations coming from the hull under his feet, a satisfied smile appeared on Purficott's face.

"I don't recommend that you engage in such a dangerous job next time, miss." The old housekeeper said worriedly to Purficott, his face full of worry for Purficott.

It turned out that things were okay at Brandless Manor. Although Perficott liked to study various things, there was generally no danger. Perficott was not the kind of character who liked to toss with dangerous items.

The old butler only needs to take care of the manor, and the only thing left is to protect Perfectcott's personal safety.

But this time when they left Brandless Manor, although Purficott was accompanied by a bodyguard comparable to that of the Queen, the old housekeeper was on guard all the way, fearing that she might be in some danger.

First there were problems with the knights of the guard, then there were ice floes on the northern route, and now he was personally rescuing the trapped ship. There were too many actions along the way that Foster considered dangerous behavior.

This forced the loyal old housekeeper to persuade his young lady not to do these risky things again.

However, facing the old butler's persuasion, Purficott just smiled and said: "Grandpa Afu, don't worry, I have already calculated the safety factor for these things, and nothing will happen to me.

And for me now, some dangers must be endured. After all, the world is about to be destroyed. If we cannot prepare before the disaster strikes, then all so-called safety will become meaningless.

So I still have to take some risks when I should. At least I can't and won't stay in a so-called safe place all the time. Some things must be done by myself. "

"I have no intention of stopping your actions, young lady, but as your housekeeper, I must fulfill my obligation to ensure your safety." The old housekeeper said.

Although he was still worried about Purficott, there was no way to stop him.

Because he also understood that although what Perficott was doing now seemed to him to be full of danger, it was indeed necessary.

"Huh? What's going on? The last explosion didn't go off?" Purficott suddenly looked down at his pocket watch and saw that the pointer on it had pointed to the scheduled time, but the last explosion in front of him did not explode.

While the two were talking, the pre-set explosive points had been detonated in the pre-set order, and the Morrigan also smoothly rushed out along the blasted ice.

However, just when the Morrigan was about to escape, the last explosive point was not detonated. There seemed to be something wrong with the fuse of the explosive point.
