Chapter 112 Not based on likes and dislikes
After asking the captain why it took them longer than expected to reach the New World, Purficott readjusted the ship's navigation equipment according to the answer given by the captain.
In fact, the reason why they spent so much time was simply that they could not find the place. They had to move along the original shipping route, and they had to constantly lower their altitude to confirm the direction on the way, which resulted in a lot of unnecessary delays. time.
But after Purficott improved the navigation equipment, this was no longer a problem.
The improved navigation system can better confirm the direction, and Perficott told the captain how to avoid bad weather by raising altitude above the clouds. Perficott believed in their return journey It should be much faster than when we arrived.
The Duke of Gloucester did not stay here long. After explaining the matter clearly to Perficott, he asked the airship to take him back.
Although he bought himself some time by pretending to be sick and acting as a substitute, if he could rush back as soon as possible, he would undoubtedly be able to start the next step of work faster. This would be a great benefit to him, Perficott, and everyone. There are benefits to all.
The time for the end of the world is getting closer and closer. Every minute and every second is very precious. No one can waste time.
Watching the Duke of Gloucester leave in the airship, Purficott turned his head to look at Foster, and said to the old butler: "Grandpa Afu, what happened today depends on your fault. I don’t care because I have been loyal to the Landless family for so many years. I don’t want to see you go against my will next time.”
After saying that, Perfectcott didn’t want to grow old. With help from the housekeeper, he left Eagle Beak Cliff.
The old housekeeper felt very hurt when he saw Purficott leaving, but he also regretted his talkativeness today.
But he did not regret his intervention today, because he did not want to see Perfection and the Empire really fall out.
And he also understood that Purficott’s plan required the support of the empire. Without the support of the empire, it would be difficult for Purficott to survive in the future apocalypse alone.
Even if Purficott could survive, it would be too lonely for her alone.
Foster did not want to see Perfectcott die alone, with only those cold maid dolls by her side in the end.
What's more, Foster could see that his young lady was a kind-hearted person, and she actually couldn't bear to watch tens of millions of people in the empire die helplessly in this upcoming terrible disaster.
Otherwise, there is no need for Purficott to deal with them and warn them of the coming end of the world after knowing the virtues of the noble council.
After being humiliated, he still tried to find ways to make them pay attention to this matter.
The astrologers of the Astronomical Society were able to make that doomsday prophecy only because Perficott lent the Philosopher's Stone. Otherwise, with the ability of those astrologers, even if it was empty money The Astronomical Society has no way of predicting what will happen three hundred years from now.
So Foster could see that Purficott really wanted to save more people.
Foster doesn't expect Purficott to regret the incident in the future.
Although the group of people in the Noble Council are indeed infuriating and disgusting, in many cases people cannot decide whether something is right or wrong based on their own likes and dislikes.
Knowing the virtues of those nobles but still cooperating with them, Foster had seen this happen too many times when old Baron Brandless was still alive.
The old knight, who was as stubborn as a stone on the battlefield, had to learn to compromise and do things that went against his likes and dislikes when facing this group of nobles. Because he is also a noble, and compromise and exchange of interests are the real way for a noble to survive.
In other words, when people live in this world, there will always be things that require compromise, concession, or going against one's own likes and dislikes.
But as long as you don’t violate your own principles, it is not difficult to accept that sometimes you suffer a loss or go against your own likes and dislikes.
In Foster's view, Purficott is just a child, that's why he has such a clear distinction between love and hate.
Although this is not a bad thing, her age also determines how she can judge whether something is right or wrong, but her change of identity has put her in a position where she cannot judge based on her likes and dislikes. Decide where something is right or wrong.
In the previous matter, Foster could clearly feel that Perfectcott was on top, so he tried to persuade him.
Although this may have aroused dissatisfaction and disgust from his own lady, Foster did not regret doing it because it was what he had to do as the steward of the Brandlees family.
Just looking at Perfectcott leaving angrily, Foster still felt sad. After all, this was the first time that Perfectcott had lost his temper with him.
——————————————
On Perficott’s side, after leaving Eagle Beak Cliff, she was actually almost out of breath.
Although she was indeed angry before, as a time-traveler, especially an adult who has been working in society for many years before time-travelling, she is not actually that capable of deciding something based on her emotions. Yes or no or right or wrong.
The reason why she was so angry and resistant was not only because those noble insects really disgusted her, but also because she now had the capital to do so.
When I can do things based on my own likes and dislikes, why should I wrong myself?
But when there are enough benefits, she is not unable to change her stance and suppress her likes and dislikes temporarily.
Just like before time travel in the past, everyone called the boss a capitalist, and 996 was exploitation and oppression. But if the wages are in place, who would dislike the fact that they have a lot of work and long working hours?
The same goes for Purficott. With enough benefits in exchange, she is not intolerant of the existence of those noble insects.
After all, if you want to deal with the doomsday crisis and save more people, it is inevitable to deal with that group of noble insects.
In this case, why not use this to obtain more practical benefits for yourself?
And things developed just as she expected. The northern guardianship and actual military power, plus unrestricted power, were a very good deal for Perfectcott.
But none of this is important right now. What is important is that the alchemy instruments and equipment she needs have finally arrived. Now she can finally use her expertise as an alchemy master to combine several research projects at hand. Moving on.
You must know that these projects are very important to her entire plan and cannot be delayed.
