Chapter 335 Never Agree
The sudden assassination shocked everyone, but the northern armed forces were lucky enough to control the situation in time so that the assassination did not have serious consequences.
The people at the scene were frightened, but the infantry regiment transferred in advance performed their duty of maintaining order at the scene very well, and quickly restored order to the panicked people at the scene.
Although these people were still a little scared and nervous, the soldiers in the infantry regiment shouted loudly to them to stay where they were and not to move, and there were also steam knights arresting suspicious elements. At this time, they still instinctively obeyed the instructions of the infantry regiment soldiers.
After all, people follow the crowd and are afraid of death. Facing the muzzle of the infantry regiment, the vast majority of people are rational and know what they should do.
As for the dignitaries, it is easier to deal with them. They are standing in a safer place and are protected by steam knights. They are naturally calmer than ordinary people.
It's just relative. They are undoubtedly more concerned about this matter than ordinary people.
The one who was assassinated was the Lord of the North, the most talented alchemist in the empire. Her assassination was a major event for the empire that could shock both the government and the public.
Not to mention that the Earl has a vicious reputation. No one knows whether she will cause another bloody massacre.
Of course, more importantly, everyone wants to know whether Perfectcott is safe and sound and whether the assassination has affected her.
They soon got the answer to this, because Purficott's speech did not stop, she didn't even pause, she just stood on the balcony and continued her speech.
This made the people in the north calm down immediately, thinking that this was just a sudden accident and did not cause any serious consequences.
After all, the lord did not even react, which is enough to show that this matter is really not a big deal.
In the eyes of ordinary people, these powerful people are greedy for life and afraid of death. When encountering such a thing, they should flee for their lives as soon as possible.
Now that they are all staying motionless, it means that there is indeed no danger.
These ordinary people really don't understand that much, but they understand one thing simply, that is, the lives of those powerful people are worth more than their own lives. If the powerful people are not afraid, then they don't need to be afraid.
And even the assassinated lord himself had no reaction, which can only show that everything is under control.
The thing is a very simple thing, and the reason is also a very simple truth, so although the assassination incident occurred, the scene of the Chernobog inauguration ceremony was actually peaceful.
Just when everyone thought that the matter was over, and that this seemingly anticlimactic assassination was just that, there was another explosion in the Lord's Mansion.
This did not arouse the public's attention, but the dignitaries were a little unable to sit still. After all, they were closer to the lord's mansion.
Fortunately, Purficott's speech finally ended. Just when everyone thought it was over, another Purficott appeared on the balcony.
"Two Lords?" Everyone was confused. What is going on?
It was relatively easy for the dignitaries on the balcony to understand what was going on. They quickly guessed that Perficott, who had just spoken, was probably just a stand-in.
This is not difficult to do. For alchemy, as long as the body shape is not too different, disguise is very easy to do, especially when Perficott himself is good at human body alchemy. It will be easier for you to become a master of alchemy. They all speculated that this should be a stand-in prepared by Purficott in advance. The only thing worth caring about may be that this stand-in has really good psychological quality. He was calm and composed even after being assassinated, and did not even pause in his speech.
The dignitaries all reported it, and although the people were a little slow to react, they didn't say they had no idea what was going on.
"I am very sad about the assassination that happened today." The second person who appeared, Perficott, spoke in a heartbroken tone, accusing the assassins: "They went to the north for their own selfish desires. Regardless of the peaceful life of everyone in the New World, he attempted to carry out separatist acts against me and the imperial dignitaries, and started a terrible war.
How selfish and shameless this is! ! They cannot bring a better life to the people and let people follow them, so they try to realize their ambitions and desires in this way! My loyal people, do you think you can agree? ”
Perfect didn't make any big claims, but simply told these people that those who assassinated her wanted to ruin the lives of these ordinary people and drag them into the war.
This is unacceptable to ordinary people.
Life in the north may not be particularly good for ordinary people, or it may make people feel that there is a big gap compared with Langton.
After all, the North is just a newly developed land
But at least for ordinary people, they do feel the hope of life.
Compared with the endless oppression of the empire’s local capitalists, at least Perficott will not crush the people’s bones and suck their marrow.
She wants these people to work, but not to squeeze out the last drop of their blood and sweat.
As an absolutely rational alchemist, Purficott preferred to use the most efficient method rather than the most "profitable" method.
And this undoubtedly widens the gap between her and those street lamp pendants in the empire, although this gap is actually insignificant to her.
Save one or two hours of working time every day, provide workers with a not delicious but filling lunch, increase their basic salary per unit time, and provide overtime pay...
It sounds like they are all free things, and they don't cost a lot of money in total, but for ordinary people, this is a kind act that can change their living conditions.
And these have indeed allowed the people in the north to live a better life, allowing them to have a breather and live less tiredly under the pressure of life.
And this also gave Purficott a good reputation in the hearts of the people in the north. Although it is not that she is loved and respected by everyone, and everyone is loyal to her, but at least no one will oppose her or think that she is a bad person. .
Under such circumstances, someone wants to assassinate this lord who has been good to them? Still want to ruin their current lives? Still want to drag them into the war?
Although the ordinary people in the north have no culture and don't understand any big principles, they at least know what is good for themselves.
“Never agree!” The people were angry.
Watching all this, a smile appeared on Purficott's face.
