Don’t raise unruly people in extreme cold weather

Chapter 84 Shaping the Pier

After chatting with Dr. Jones about the doomsday prophecies of the desert kingdom, Purficott felt that he was not alone in his path.

After all, after she calculated the end of the world, no one except the group of astrologers from the Astronomical Society believed her that the world was really going to end.

Even though the empire had reacted later, and Princess Anne was sparing no effort to support her, Purficott still felt as if he was alone in carrying the future of mankind.

The poor administrative efficiency of Nafera in the empire is well known to everyone. It is expected that the civil servants of the Victoria Empire can operate efficiently unless the French attack Langton tomorrow, or the family they represent can obtain sufficient benefits.

Apart from these two items, there is no way to unite the scattered nobles in the empire.

So even though Purficott warned the empire and the Queen ordered the formation of a crisis response committee to prepare for the end of the world, their efficiency was really not as efficient as Purficott himself.

Now, he suddenly discovered that someone in ancient times had made the same prophecy as himself, which made Purficott feel like he had found a confidant.

Even though these ancient prophets did not share anything for Perficott, she still felt spiritual comfort. At least she was not the only one in the world preparing for this doomsday disaster.

Although Purficott knew clearly that these were actually just her wishful thinking or even an illusion, at least it brought her psychological comfort.

Her originally heavy and depressed mood improved a lot. At least during dinner, the old housekeeper could clearly feel that Perfectcott had a great appetite today.

This made the old butler very happy. As the butler of the Brandless family, all he wanted was for the family to prosper and for Perfectcott to be happy.

The good mood gave Purficott more motivation to do things, and he stood on the dock the next day holding his cane.

She plans to use her alchemy to try to change the terrain and directly shape the berths of the dock.

There is no doubt whether alchemy can do such a thing. The control and transformation of material forms can directly turn a piece of clay into exquisite porcelain.

But this is only theoretical, and in most cases, alchemists use this ability to create precision parts or rare substances that are beyond the reach of manpower, rather than using it to raise tall buildings from the ground or change the terrain.

It’s not that it can’t be done, but it’s more cost-effective to use labor.

And for an alchemist, launching alchemy is not without consumption.

Manipulating alchemy to change material forms and transform into other substances will cause great consumption of the alchemist's spirit. The more he uses it, the greater the consumption.

So usually no alchemist is too bored to use alchemy to manipulate matter on a large scale.

But Purficott is different. With the Philosopher's Stone, she consumes much less energy when using alchemy than an ordinary alchemist.

That's why she was able to use alchemy to seal off the bar and impale a bunch of drunks on rock guns.

If it were any other alchemist, if he wanted to launch such a large-scale alchemy, he might have to kneel on the ground in exhaustion.

Only Perficott, who possesses a top-level alchemical artifact like the Philosopher's Stone, can use alchemy as a regular combat skill. I have to say that this is actually a waste of resources.

"Miss, the crowd on the pier has been cleared, and the White Gem has retreated offshore. You can start." Foster didn't know much about alchemy. After hearing his lady's request, he followed her order and cleared it. The dock is convenient for her to perform.

"Very good. I may lose some strength later. Remember to hold me in time." Purficott still has a clear understanding of herself. She feels that she may consume too much by using alchemy on such a large scale, but With the Philosopher's Stone here, she was probably just out of power. "Okay, miss." Foster nodded and stood next to Perfectcott without doubting his presence.

Around the pier, curious Aboriginal people and members of the exploration team, as well as the knights responsible for guarding Perfect Court, were watching the excitement.

Although they knew that Purficott planned to build a dock quickly, they did not know how she planned to do it, so they all showed great curiosity.

Under the crowd's watch, Perficott planted the cane in his hand on the ground, then reached out and pressed the ruby ​​on one end of the cane.

"Alchemy's Staff with Philosopher's Stone"

"Materials: Legend"

“Craftsmanship: Excellent”

"Effect: The effect of alchemy is increased by 100%, the range is enlarged by 300%, and the energy consumption is reduced by 70%."

"Comment: I really don't understand why you want to make it. The Philosopher's Stone is not for you to use like this. You are simply using a high-precision machine tool as a forging hammer!"

The Philosopher's Stone made by Purficott's parents was not a complete piece, but two broken pieces.

After all, the ritual had gone viral at that time. If Perficott hadn't traveled through time and controlled the ritual with the help of the Jade Record and the Omniscient Eye, it would have been an oversized bomb.

It is somewhat too high to expect that a complete Philosopher's Stone can be refined through such a ritual after such a rampage.

So in the end, the Philosopher's Stone obtained by Purficott split into two pieces. The smaller piece can break the principle of equivalent exchange and can also replace any material in the alchemy ceremony.

The larger piece can amplify the effect of alchemy and save Purficott's consumption when using alchemy.

As for the complete Philosopher's Stone, it has all these functions at the same time, and the effect is even stronger.

Purficott had no choice but to set two pieces of the Philosopher's Stone on his Midas Rod and walking stick respectively, so that they could be used to their full potential.

And now, with the help of the magnifying effect of the Philosopher's Stone on his cane, Purficott controlled the soil under the dock and began to shape it.

Although it was a bit difficult for her to use alchemy on such a large scale for the first time, with the help of the Philosopher's Stone, she felt that she could bear it.

So soon a pier that could park three hundred-meter-class ships quickly rose from the bottom of the sea, and the soil on the shore rolled by itself and turned into embankments and flat ground. A beautiful pier appeared in front of everyone, but It is made of dirt.

And this was not over yet, Perficott once again used his power to turn the soil on the dock into stone.

However, when she did this, she felt that her energy was drained almost instantly! He staggered and almost fell.

Fortunately, Foster caught her in time and saved her from falling. He also used his last strength to complete the shaping of the pier.

But she herself passed out because her energy was drained.
