Chapter 371 Participating in the Hearing
In the end, under the persuasion of the Duke of Gloucester, Perficott decided to attend the hearing held by the Noble Parliament.
After all, the Duke of Gloucester has always been with him, and Purficott still feels a little bit sorry.
However, this does not mean that Purficott will have a good look on the noble council, or that she attended the hearing to attend the hearing, but it does not mean that she will accept the food and wine bags of those corpses. of questioning.
But the Duke of Gloucester did not know this. After Purfict said he would attend the hearing, he breathed a sigh of relief and felt relieved, and then left Purfict's residence. .
Of course, the Duke of Gloucester is not stupid. He can see that Purficott has no intention of attending the hearing and being questioned. But at this point, he has done all he can do. Those noble members insist on committing suicide. Can't stop it.
In other words, the Duke of Gloucester, who was so disturbed by this incident, did not intend to stop him.
The Royal Council at the center of the empire has made a decision to announce the arrival of the doomsday winter. At this time, these nobles are unhappy to find Purficott. Not only do they have no eyesight, but they are also in conflict with the empire. Against the future.
Although some of these people do hope to question Purfict out of sheer sincerity for the country to prevent her from really expanding her power and becoming a powerful minister, but such people are very few after all.
Most of the members of the noble council who participated in this incident were idiots who could not see clearly the current situation, or were blinded by their own petty profits.
People who can truly see the situation clearly will not get involved in this matter at all, and those who are truly loyal to the country will not follow a blind path after the Duke of Gloucester talks to them personally.
So before the group of noble members involved in this matter didn’t know, the nature of this hearing had already changed.
Perfect agreed to attend the hearing at this time, but the result was already obvious.
The only thing the Duke of Gloucester needs to worry about is whether Perficott will demolish the meeting place of the Noble Council, or make the situation difficult to clean up, so that the meeting place of the Noble Council will be in the It cannot be used again for a short period of time.
However, considering that the empire will be abandoned in one year, these are actually not a big problem.
Purficott has actually understood the Duke of Gloucester's little plan. She can't say that she is happy to see this matter come to fruition, at least she is going along with it.
Although she is not a murderous person, if someone puts such a group of stupid pigs in front of her for her to vent, there is still no need for her to restrain her temper.
Not to mention that this can be regarded as cleaning up useless insects for the empire and eliminating future unstable factors in advance.
She knows these nobles very well. If they arrive in the north after the end of winter, they will definitely not make any contribution to the north except causing chaos.
Although it is not a sin for them to be alive, for the empire, the meaning of their existence is only to waste food and preserve some ancient noble families.
If it were a peaceful time, their existence would be like this.
The empire will not deliberately deal with them, nor will it give any additional preferential treatment. Their noble status and everything they enjoy are just the shadow of their ancestors. When all this is used up , that is, when they are worthless.
As the capital of the empire, down-and-out nobles who have lost their titles or property can often be seen on the streets of Langton.
So, for the empire, it is not a big problem to consume a group of dead nobles. It's just that in normal peaceful times, you need to take into account the impact, and you also need to consider whether it is worth it.
Now, there is the threat of a doomsday winter, and there is the civil strife that may be caused by abandoning the empire's homeland. In this case, the fewer unstable factors, the better.
Not to mention, the consumption of this group of aristocratic councilors can also bring a good mood to the key figure of Purficott. This is a good deal that can win multiple things with one stone.
The only person who is unhappy may be the noble members themselves.
But who makes them really have no eyesight and cannot see clearly the current situation? I had no choice but to aggrieve them.
——————————————
On the day of the hearing, Purficott did not put on a particularly exaggerated display. She just arrived at Longton in her own airship, then put down her steam carriage and the two steam knight flags she brought with her. Team.
One of them is the dragon-slaying team of the White Bear Knights. After this flag team participated in the great cause of dragon slaying last time, it has become the face of the White Bear Knights, and because of their achievements, Purfe Kurt also personally upgraded the team's equipment.
Although she did not personally make the steam armor for them, she participated in the design and improvement, but the final production part was left to other alchemists and craftsmen to complete.
However, even so, the weapons and equipment of this flag team are the best among the White Bear Knights, second only to the Flying Knights.
Perficott did not bring the flying knights. On the one hand, they lacked flying armors, and on the other hand, there was no need to be so high-profile.
Although Purficott has released fantasy alchemy, which allows alchemists to bypass the restrictions of the Philosopher's Stone and create fantasy elements that do not exist in reality.
But the production of flying stones is still too complicated and difficult for ordinary alchemists.
So far, none of the flying armors of the nine flying knights have been completed. Only four sets have been completed. There is really no need for Purficott to take them with him now.
Especially when she has to bring another flag team.
This flag team comes from the knights of the old prince. The name of the knights is Iron Fire. Steel and flame are the cornerstone of defending the empire.
The ambition of the old prince and what he wanted to do were actually revealed very early on. The name of this knighthood is the most intuitive proof.
After they transferred to Purficott's command, they also needed some actions and achievements to prove themselves.
Correspondingly, Purficott naturally needs to comfort them to a certain extent to ensure that the knights left to her by the old prince can continue to remain loyal and perform under her command. due role.
Bringing them to attend the hearing and then leaving the work of dealing with the group of noble members to them is a sign of trust, which is very conducive to increasing the loyalty of these knights and making it more Good for Purficott to drive them.
