Chapter 27 The Huge Gap
Skipping the topic of the war, Perfectcott also accepted the fact that James was his assistant.
"Go and change into decent clothes and tidy up decently. I don't want the person next to me to be a playboy who gives a bad impression." However, although he accepted James as his assistant, But Purficott still disliked him.
Considering that this guy was wearing a cheap rental suit and his financial situation might not be very good, Purficott sighed and took out his wallet and took out a twenty gold pound note. After hesitating for a moment, he took out a fifty gold pound note and handed the two notes to James.
And said to him: "Go to Flagship Street to buy two decent clothes, and then prepare what you need to go to the New World. Our task is to find a suitable place to build a shelter. I think you should have a wild Adventure experience? ”
"Thank you for your generosity! I once followed an exploration team deep into the northern wilderness of the New World and have enough experience in wild survival." James quickly put the banknotes into his pocket, and at the same time tried hard to show it to Purficott. own expertise and abilities.
Although James is an intelligence officer of the Intelligence Agency, he is already aware of the existence of the doomsday crisis. He clearly knows that the world is about to undergo major changes. If he does not find a way out for himself, he will probably die. Very miserable.
For espionage officers like them, if they want to live a long life, the perception of danger and the arrangement of escape routes are essential skills, even more important than professional skills such as intelligence collection and analysis. .
So James clearly knows where the future crisis will come from and how to find that glimmer of hope.
It is one thing to die for the country, but it is another thing to die in a doomsday disaster.
James didn't want his life to die worthless.
So he chose to join the Crisis Response Committee and join the Duke of Gloucester, hoping to find a way out for himself in the future doomsday crisis.
But the procrastination of the Noble Council and the Duke of Gloucester's move to send him to Perfectcourt made James clearly understand who to follow to have a greater chance of survival.
"Since you have relevant experience, then help me organize an exploration team." Seeing that James had relevant experience, Perficott did not leave him idle and directly handed over the task: "Relevant To withdraw funds, you can come to Auntie Anne, or you can go to Brandless Manor to see my butler Foster.
I don't care how much you spend, as long as the money is spent wisely, or 豼. I feel like I can make up fake accounts that can hide from me
Let me just remind you that this world is about to face a catastrophe, and money is nothing but an external possession. "
"I understand what you mean, please rest assured, Miss Brandless. "James didn't say anything more. He just saluted to Purficott and made a promise.
Perfect was noncommittal about his promise. He just nodded without saying anything else. He lowered his head and concentrated on eating. Breakfast started.
Princess Anne looked at James's shabby appearance and frowned slightly before inviting him to sit down and have breakfast together. But James, who just stuffed his stomach with two pieces of bread in the morning, naturally didn't. I'm polite and expressed my gratitude to the eldest princess
This is the breakfast that the cooks of Windsor Castle got up at four o'clock in the morning and worked for five hours to make it. It would be a waste if you don't eat it carefully. .
Breakfast at Windsor Castle is not a simple meal such as bread and milk that can only fill the stomach.
In addition to common foods such as bacon and eggs, it also includes smoked fish, toast, orange marmalade, and rolls baked the night before, including onions, radishes, spinach, and tomatoes. Vegetables and fruits, including orchids, cabbage, apples, and cherries, as well as meats such as roast lamb, pork, or turkey, boiled beef, rabbit stew, and meat pies, filled the entire table. . When Brandlis first traveled through the world, she was not used to such a pace of life. She made a lot of unnecessary jokes at the beginning. She fired the servants at Brandlis Manor. It is difficult to say that there was no such thing. reason.
And this is one of the reasons why she takes a shower in the morning, because there is really no way to get up early and have breakfast.
Even if the servants get up at four o'clock in the morning to light the fire and light the hearth, and complete most of the preparations the night before, there is no way to complete all the breakfast cooking in a short time.
Generally speaking, if you want a hearty breakfast, you have to accept a later meal time.
Fortunately, nobles do not need to go out as early as possible every morning like ordinary people or working-class families, or eat as simple as possible in order to sleep more, so as not to waste most of their time on breakfast. of cooking.
The nobles had plenty of time to wait for a hearty and satisfying breakfast.
And for the nobles, they can also choose more abundant dishes according to different holidays, even including novel dishes from the colonies.
These are unimaginable and extravagant desires for ordinary people and workers in Langton who work from dawn to dusk. For them, white bread and cakes without cream are already very luxurious enjoyments.
Princess Anne does not have any special requirements for food. Her years of military service have already made her develop the habit of shortening her meal time as much as possible.
But this is Windsor Castle, the royal banquet castle, and everything represents the face of the royal family.
The castle's kitchen has four professional chefs and more than twenty cooks. Their only task is to provide sumptuous meals to the owner of the castle every day.
This is a very hard job. They have to get up very early every morning and start working. They can't eat their own breakfast until all the meals are served on the owner's table.
There is about five or six hours between when they get up and when they have breakfast.
Nobles can sleep until very late and get up late. Even if they are hungry, they can have snacks or other simple meals to fill their hunger, but these servants... they can only work hungry.
Perfect is unable to change anything. This is the social reality of this era. To change it, you need to have the power to change the entire world.
If there was no apocalyptic disaster, Perficott might consider doing something, but now... all her energy must be put into dealing with the apocalyptic disaster and saving the world.
Even in the future, she will stand on the opposite side of these people.
If you want to build a doomsday shelter before disaster strikes, oppression and exploitation are inevitable.
