Extreme Cold Era: Shelter Don't Keep Waste-Chapter 640 - 604: The Lazy Perfikot

When Perfikot was crafting Steam Armor for Beifa, she referenced the design blessed by the War God, making it better suited to the female figure, and the overall appearance more slender.

Hence, even when Beifa donned the armor and followed Perfikot, it wouldn't seem particularly bulky.

Normally-sized Steam Knights tend to be somewhat cumbersome, making it inconvenient to stay close to Perfikot for protection indoors.

In contrast, Beifa's armor doesn't face such issues, and can maneuver freely.

Aside from the unique nature of divine materials allowing Perfikot to easily attempt more precise structures that require high material standards, this is also due to Perfikot's research on the War God armor.

That set of armor was designed for females, and after two blessings from the War God, its structure closely fits the female form while leaning more towards a robust-looking armor than a mecha.

Because of this, Perfikot could further optimize her own armor design by referencing it.

After all, the War God is adept at combat, and the armor blessed by him is more suited for battles, which Perfikot needs to learn from and reference.

Yet, for Perfikot, this isn't her greatest accomplishment this time.

Though gaining a divine-level combat strength is indeed a significant achievement for Perfikot, Beifa serves as her maid regularly and isn't suitable for combat.

Through upgrading Beifa and crafting new Steam Armor, Perfikot completed technical validation and experience accumulation, allowing her to produce Autonomous Knights utilizing energy cores, and achieving mass production which is the key.

By leveraging the output of those two divine corpses, Perfikot obtained more divine harvest than ever before and extracted their divine essence from them.

With these, Perfikot's divine reserve multiplied several times, even when crafting energy cores with divinity and mass-producing upgraded Autonomous Knights, forming a full Knight Order, yet she used less than one-tenth of it.

This undoubtedly provided Perfikot immense assistance.

While she used very little divinity on these Autonomous Knights, on average, each knight only had a thread of divinity in their main body and armor's two energy cores, just a bit on their new-style knight lance and defensive plates.

These didn't significantly enhance the Autonomous Knights, merely elevating them from large Knight Level Autonomous Knights to the limit of Honorary Knight Level.

The special effects of divinity enabled these Autonomous Knights to exert Legendary Level strength in exceeding situations.

Despite the time constraints and resembling a one-time burst, which afterward meant this Autonomous Knight was near scrapping, basically needing reconstruction, it still meant that if Perfikot wished, she could always deploy enough Legendary Level cannon fodder knights anytime.

If faced with a battle like before in Langton, Perfikot could use Legendary Level cannon fodder Autonomous Knights to pile the adversary to death.

After all, Legendary Level combat strength is qualified enough to inflict damage on Divine beings.

If one isn't enough, ten or a hundred, however divine, can't withstand such quantitative piling.

This gave Perfikot more assurance and confidence of victory in this war against the Divine.

In the backyard of the Lord of the North's mansion, Perfikot lazily curled like a cat on a chair cushioned with thick bear fur.

After upgrading, Beifa still donned her maid outfit, standing by her side, engaged in her maid duties.

Today, Perfikot invited Eldest Princess Annie to her tea gathering, but the sight of Perfikot left Eldest Princess Annie with a barely articulate discontent.

"Perfikot, you seem like a different person lately, as if you care very little about anything." Eldest Princess Annie expressed her displeasure as she saw Perfikot snuggled in bear fur.

"It's probably because it's too cold, and I don't want to move! You know it's minus fifty degrees outside, in such weather, Aunt Annie, you can't expect me to go out braving the snow and wind?" With an indifferent attitude, Perfikot asked Beifa to pour her a cup of black tea, and after a pleasant sip, she spoke.

Not waiting for Eldest Princess Annie to retort, Perfikot bluntly continued, "Moreover, Aunt Annie, the Imperial Center can already function normally, they handle various affairs, and with the Northern officials present, how much really needs me to personally deal with?

Or are you, as the Empire's Eldest Princess, doing nothing at all? If that's the case, I think Aunt Annie, you should give up your title as the Empire's successor."

Perfikot's words were very harsh, causing Eldest Princess Annie's expression to become increasingly unsightly.

Though their last encounter was unpleasant, Eldest Princess Annie remained quite concerned about Perfikot.

This time, when Perfikot invited her to the tea gathering, she came with hopes of mending their relationship.

She hadn't expected that after just a word, Perfikot would treat her this way, making her feel quite painful.

Yet, Eldest Princess Annie couldn't say much about this, as Perfikot, being the Lord of the North, has the freedom to govern the Northern Territory as she pleases.

From Eldest Princess Annie's perspective, Perfikot being idle actually serves the Royal Family's interests better.

However, from Eldest Princess Annie's personal standpoint, she hoped Perfikot could be more diligent rather than 'decadent' as she is now.

"Perfikot, I know you've done a lot to save the Empire, even if you wish to let go of everything now and enjoy life, no one can say you're wrong, but is this really good? Is this truly what you desire?" Eldest Princess Annie tried to persuade Perfikot.

Yet, Perfikot simply laughed and said, "Why not? If it wasn't for Aunt Annie asking for my help back then, I wouldn't have cared about these trivial matters for the past three years, living free and easy.

Now that the apocalyptic winter has arrived, I've done what I could, and the rest is up to you all.

I just want to give myself a long vacation, if there's no major issue, don't come bother me."
