The structure of a hot air balloon is far simpler than that of the Flying Airship; it only requires a huge gas bag and a basket, plus a burner that can emit flames, to form the entirety of a hot air balloon.
As for the fuel, Perfikot had a hole drilled into the ground and directly hand-crafted a set of devices to collect the gas leaking underground on-site, filling it into steel cylinders to serve as fuel for the hot air balloon.
Seeing Perfikot so effortlessly prepare the hot air balloon, everyone, though amazed, also felt it was only natural.
After all, given Perfikot's reputation, it would be news if she couldn't manage it.
And after getting everything ready, Perfikot began preparing for the aerial survey.
But she encountered an obstacle.
"No, Count," Samantha and other Imperial Guard Knights, who had come with Perfikot, stood in her way, preventing her from boarding the hot air balloon.
