Chapter 675 Security Measures
Because he needed to pay attention to the progress of the flying warship project, Perfectikt temporarily stayed in Beloberg.
And her residence is naturally the hotel owned by the Brandless family.
On the top floor of the hotel, she rented out an entire floor as her temporary residence. The Earl of the North's maid puppet and self-disciplined knight were naturally indispensable.
A team of flying armored self-disciplined knights and an airship were even arranged on the roof of the hotel to defend against possible air strikes and to protect Perfico when necessary. Special left directly from the air.
"There are very unnecessary security measures. Do you really think that someone will drive an airship into the sky above Belloberg and then raid this hotel from the air?" Purficott was helpless, although she didn't She rejected necessary security measures, but this overly exaggerated arrangement still disgusted her.
However, the old housekeeper who was responsible for arranging all this said plausibly: "Miss, these measures are not intended to really work. Although these arrangements must play their due role when necessary, these arrangements It’s more about showing your identity and avoiding unnecessary trouble.”
In the eyes of the old housekeeper, these measures do seem exaggerated, but for Purficott’s identity, they are very special. It is necessary.
"Okay, okay! I have no intention of arguing about this. Let Mr. James come up. I want to know what it is that he needs to see me so urgently." Perfectcott waved his hand and looked at But he looked at a long-lost agent who was stopped by the security guard at the hotel entrance.
Although Purficott only reserved the top floor of the hotel, in order to prevent other people from disturbing Purficott, guards and sentries were still placed at the entrance of the hotel, and strict inspections were required in and out of the hotel.
This is why Purficott feels these security measures are in place.
She doesn't mind strict security checks, but stricter security checks are enough on the floor where she lives. There is no need to set up sentries at the hotel entrance.
This makes her no longer like the Earl of the North, but more like Queen Victoria.
"As you command, miss." The old housekeeper then turned and left, heading to the main entrance of the hotel to bring James in.
…………………………
At the door of the hotel, James was being interrogated by the security guard at the door.
The details and rigor of the inspection made James, an old agent, speechless. He lamented how well-organized and sophisticated the intelligence agency in the North was.
As an agent arranged by the Imperial Military Intelligence Service in the New World colonies, James himself has quite good agent skills.
Although he is not as exaggerated as the legendary agents in the film and television works of the original world of Perfect Court, with the extraordinary abilities and alchemical creations unique to this world, he can also be on par with his counterparts in other worlds. Something like that.
However, even so, from the perspective of an old agent, he could hardly find a way to bypass these security measures and sneak into the hotel.
Needless to say, the guards and checkpoints at the hotel's main entrance are just decorations for veteran agents. Although they conduct strict checks, they can only block ordinary people and petty thieves, but it is not difficult for professionals to get past them.
But after crossing this line of defense, the real test lies.
After the old butler appeared at the front door of the hotel and welcomed James into the hotel, the old agent always felt like a thorn in his back, eyes were always watching him, and he could clearly feel that he should be What weapons are locked at.
This is the special ability of his alchemical creation, which allows him to sense whether he is being hostile or stared at, and whether there is danger around him. The result is that no matter how much he simulates and tries, he can't get rid of this kind of shadow-like locking, as if he is a clown performing on the stage and the audience is watching him.
James could feel that he should be locked by the secret whistle in the hotel and the steam knights deployed throughout the hotel.
As long as he dares to make any unusual movements or dangerous behaviors, he will be beaten into a sieve in just one breath.
"If you dare to mess around, without them, the old man will take off your head as soon as possible." However, at this time, the old butler spoke, and James suddenly realized that he looked like an ordinary man in front of him. The old man's old butler is a powerful knight who has been promoted to legend.
"In the North, does the Earl also need such strict protection?" James asked the old butler calmly.
"Maybe it's necessary, maybe it's not necessary, but there is nothing that Miss Protector does not need." The old housekeeper responded calmly, and then took James into the elevator guarded by guards.
This hotel is fifteen stories high, which is already an extremely tall building in this era.
So several elevators have been installed in the hotel, which is a very new and fashionable thing in this era.
In order to ensure Purficott's safety, all elevators in the hotel are controlled, and all the elevator doors on the top floor are locked. No one can take the elevator directly to the top floor where Purficott is located.
The old housekeeper took James in the elevator to the downstairs on the top floor, where the two of them underwent another detailed inspection and body search.
"Sir Foster, you are the earl's butler, do you have to accept such a strict inspection?" James watched the inspector unceremoniously conduct an extremely detailed search of the old butler, and suddenly revealed A curious look.
In his opinion, it is natural for this security system to protect outsiders, but there is no need to protect one's own people, right?
However, the old butler just looked back at him and said casually: "If someone pretends to be me, this will become a fatal loophole, so no one can be exempted."
"What a terrible security!" James sighed. Although disguise sounds exaggerated, for an old agent, it is still within the skill range.
If necessary, James can disguise himself as another person for half an hour without using any alchemy or other supernatural abilities.
This was also the only way he came up with to safely enter the hotel after seeing the hotel's strict security measures.
But of course his target is not the old housekeeper, but the ordinary guests or staff in the hotel. As long as he has a legal identity, it is not difficult to sneak in.
But the old butler's move to guard even himself, really opened James' eyes. Is there anyone else who adopts this method of checking even his own people?
But he didn't pay too much attention to it. After all, he was just simulating whether he could successfully sneak into the hotel and arrive in front of Purficott out of professional habit. He didn't really have any idea.
After following the old butler up the stairs, James saw Perfectcott who was enjoying tea.
