Chapter 123 On the Airship
While Colonel William was enthusiastically engaged in the adaptation training of the Steam Knight Armor, the palace envoy who had defected to Perfect Court also took the aircraft lent by her. The airship is returning to the Empire.
Sitting in the cabin of the airship, the palace envoy who now has a dual identity is sitting at a small table, writing a letter in the light coming in from the porthole.
The palace specially used a quill pen to write on a piece of white paper. There was a line on the already written letter on the side that started: "Dear Princess, I have contacted Brand. Earl of Leith, her progress is going well at present, you don't have to worry about it."
Obviously, this palace envoy is not what he said on the surface, just a simple palace attendant.
"This Earl of Brandlis is still too young to believe my identity so easily..." Putting a written letter aside, the palace envoy looked up at the window and saw the blue sky. The white clouds made him feel emotional.
At this time, the airship was sailing above the sea of clouds, and the thick clouds beneath them were like a white ocean.
This experience is unimaginable for humans who have never flown into the sky.
Even a strong-minded agent like the Palace Envoy who is specially trained by the Intelligence Bureau will inevitably be shaken when he sees such a scenery for the first time.
This also made him sincerely admire Perficott's talent. He was a person who could truly change an era.
Just like Master Watt who invented the steam engine, their inventions are enough to promote the process of human civilization.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but lament. If there was no threat of doomsday, Perficott would inevitably become the most dazzling star of the empire, shining brightly in this era.
Rather than like now, she needs to use her talents to save mankind.
But perhaps a genius is a genius under any circumstances. Even in the face of the end of the world, the Earl of Brandlis still showed her unparalleled wisdom and talent. The nobles in the imperial capital are still While they were arguing about what measures to take to deal with the end of the world, she had already taken action to save herself and mankind.
Although she was somewhat helpless in saving humanity, the palace envoy could feel that Purficott had indeed invested a lot of energy in this matter. And achieved quite gratifying results.
He couldn't even imagine how humanity would have survived this terrible catastrophe without the efforts of Purficott and the people of the empire alone.
According to the news he learned, Perficott was the first to discover and warn the empire about the doomsday, but so far other countries in the old world know nothing about it!
This shows how much precious time Perficott bought for the empire!
If we really want to be like other countries and not know when a disaster is coming, mankind will definitely not have enough preparation time to deal with this terrible disaster.
At that time, the empire will be caught off guard by this sudden world-destroying disaster, and no one may even survive at all.
From this point of view, no amount of support given by the royal family to Purficott is too much, even if she has caused a massacre in the New World colonies.
In fact, this is also one of his tasks. As a special envoy of the royal family, he investigates what happened to the tragedy that Perficott caused in New Shaker City.
To be honest, when he saw the terrifying statue for the first time, he was almost scared to death. Especially when he heard that these people were made alive into such horrific works of art, he felt sincerely afraid.
As an agent, he has actually seen life and death, and is even ready to devote himself to the empire, but this does not mean that he can accept that he is A tree grows out of the body, skewered on the branches like skewers of barbecue.
Death is a very simple matter. During training, every Intelligence Agency agent will get a specially prepared poison to put in his back tooth socket, and can be used to commit suicide when necessary.
As long as the back tooth socket is bitten, the poison will take away the agent's life in an instant, without pain or delay.
But this is completely different from facing such painful torture.
So much so that when he saw the statue, he even backed down.
Because he was afraid that after his identity was discovered by Purficott, if she wanted to kill him, she would string herself to a tree like this and make herself suffer for several days before dying. Whether you can bear it yourself.
The answer is obviously no, no one can bear this kind of torture.
At the same time, he also understood why Purficott did what he did, and sincerely felt the significant effect of this move.
According to reports from colleagues in the Intelligence Bureau, the independence movement in the entire New World colonies almost reached its lowest ebb during this period, and all independent movement organizations that had been publicly active fell into silence.
No one dares to provoke this terrifying Earl while the smell of blood in New Shake City has not yet dissipated.
Some people even gave her an unpleasant nickname, called Scarlet Alchemist, which means the alchemist who brings blood and killing.
For a fourteen-year-old aristocratic lady, this nickname was indeed very unpleasant, but when he told Purficott about it, the earl who single-handedly created this tragedy only said: "There is no better deal than killing a few people and preventing more people from dying."
As for the unpleasant reputation? Purficott felt that a title that could be used to intimidate would help her establish authority.
"I have to say that in a sense, she has indeed established amazing authority, and this intimidation method is very effective." The palace envoy retracted his thoughts and continued to write on the paper, while also Attached is his own evaluation: "The empire's policy towards the colonization of the New World has always been tolerant in the past, which led to the rise of the independence movement. Although I believe that the colonial authorities can handle these problems, even if an armed rebellion does occur, the imperial army will It's enough to suppress it.
But it has to be said that compared to Count Brandlis's methods, our efficiency seems to be too low. It took her less than a week to achieve what the empire had achieved in the past few years. Nothing was done, and the price was just a few hundred deaths."
Thinking of this, the palace envoy couldn't help but compare the low administrative efficiency of the empire and the efficient execution of Perficott in the north. He tried to make a comparison and wrote in his letter: "Your Royal Highness, looking at the resolute actions of Earl Brandlis, sometimes I even wonder whether the empire is really corrupt, so that we are not even as good as a child. …”
