Chapter 415 Visiting the Lord's Mansion
The wind and snow in the North are far better than those in the New World. Even though the Pignisberg where Kallen lives is very close to the North, and is considered the northernmost city in the New World, it is rarely seen in the winter. Will encounter such extreme wind and snow.
Just looking at the snow on the roadside that has not yet been cleared, you can feel the horror of the northern wind and snow. That is enough snow to make a person who is not very tall lose his head!
However, even so, the streets in the north have still been cleared, and all the snow on the roads has been cleared away by special vehicles. Although it may still be a bit slippery when walking up, it is at least better than burying people in it. Walking in the snow is much more comfortable.
As Kallen walked, she couldn't help but sigh that Purficott's management of the Northern Territory was really efficient.
Kallen has been to Pignisberg in the New World and New Shack City. There has also been snow there since winter, but the local city hall has obviously not considered how to clear the snow on the roads.
This has also led to very bad conditions in the city. The snow on the road is not only thick, but also crushed, causing great inconvenience to citizens' travel.
Of course, this is also related to the fact that the local city hall does not have the conditions to clear the snow. After all, the snowplows dispatched here in the north are snowplows modified from steam crawlers designed by Purficott.
This heavy-duty vehicle relies on two tracks and can drive well even on ice or snow, and the strong power generated by the steam turbine is enough to ensure that it can push or pull ten Heavy objects weighing several tons or more.
As long as the tracked vehicle is modified with a tool that can be used to clear snow, it can clean the road very efficiently.
However, although it is efficient, the cost of this kind of steam tracked vehicle is not low. One vehicle costs at least two thousand gold pounds, which is really unaffordable for a city like Pinignisberg that has just emerged from the financial crisis.
But it's one thing to not be able to afford a steam crawler, and another thing not to clear the snow.
After all, if you can’t afford a car, can’t you afford to hire someone?
Pignisberg is no better than the northern border. The snow is up to the knees at most, and the city is not that big. As long as the city hall is willing to spend a sum of money, it is still a good idea to clear the snow on the main streets in the city. No problem.
But this has little to do with Karen. Although she once proposed to the Pinignisberg City Hall through the Workers' Federation, the Workers' Federation would be responsible for clearing snow on the roads in Pinignisberg. As long as the City Hall It was possible to provide the necessary funds, but the town hall in Pinignisberg rejected the proposal.
The main reason is that the workers' federation does not want to give kickbacks to a certain member of the city hall.
Yes, the other party will also receive a kickback for this kind of thing, so Kallen refused after discussing it with the representatives of the Workers' Federation.
Then the matter went south.
For this, Kallen can only say that she underestimated the degree of corruption and depravity of some people. This world is just as Purficott said. Only by completely breaking the shackles of the old world can we rebuild a beautiful world. New world.
Thinking of Purficott, Kallen suddenly felt impatient. She couldn't help but want to see her and tell her what she had experienced and what she had done during this period.
And most importantly, how much I missed her during these days of separation.
But before that, Kallen knew that she couldn't just go to Purficott directly.
She needs to change her outfit and use another identity that can be accessed by Purficott, instead of the current identity of Kafka, the leader of the Workers' Federation, to meet the northern lords.
There is no other possibility except seeking death.
After all, it is impossible for Purficott, as the northern lord, to have any connection with the leader of the New World Workers' Federation and a wanted criminal. Kallen found a secluded alley and quickly completed her transformation.
From a seemingly poor and thin worker, he suddenly turned into a well-dressed aristocratic lady.
Then she quickly came to the street, stopped a taxi, and let the carriage pull her to the lord's mansion in the north.
When she arrived at the door of the Lord's Mansion, Kallen was stopped by the guards at the door as expected. However, seeing Kallen's aristocratic dress, the guards were not rude and just politely asked her about her identity and identity. Intention.
Kallen naturally responded as a noble lady: "Hello, I am Kallen Ordesia. I came from Pignisberg to visit the Earl. I am the Earl's wife. Friend, please inform me.”
Hearing that Kallen claimed to be a friend of the Earl, the guard did not dare to neglect and invited her to the duty room at the door of the lords to prevent Kallen from being exposed to the wind and cold. At the same time, he immediately reported the matter to his superiors.
As a guard, he is not qualified to report directly to the Lord's Mansion, but needs to be conveyed by his superior.
Even if there is an emergency, ordinary guards cannot go beyond this rule and break into the lord's mansion directly.
After all, it is too easy to pretend to be an ordinary guard. No one knows whether you are a guard, an assassin, or another dangerous person.
What if you want to do something evil to Purficott? Who can guarantee that there will be no problems?
So sometimes the rules are indeed cumbersome, but they are necessary.
However, even though the rules were cumbersome, the work efficiency of the Lord's Mansion was still very high. Within a few minutes of Kallen sitting down, Perficott's old housekeeper appeared in front of her.
"Miss Ordesia, the Earl invites you to come into the house to speak." Foster did not know the specific identity of Kallen, but since Purficott said that she was indeed his friend, then As Purficott's loyal old housekeeper, he naturally had to treat her well.
Instructing the attendant to lift Kallen's luggage, he led Kallen through the vestibule of the Lord's Mansion and into the interior of the building.
As soon as she walked into the building of the Lord's Mansion, Kallen immediately felt a rush of hot air, making her whole body feel much warmer.
During these days, she had been staying with people from the Workers' Federation, and she suffered from hunger and cold.
Even though she is the leader of the Workers' Federation and she is a noble lady, Karen does not give herself any special or preferential treatment. On the contrary, she often saves her rations and distributes them to the children. , which made her life really not very good during this period.
Of course, this is just a training for Kallen herself. If she wants, she can return to the luxurious aristocratic life at any time, but she is not willing to do so.
But even so, the luxury and comfort of the Northern Lord's Mansion still made her feel sincerely relaxed.
When Purficott appeared in front of her, Kallen finally let down all her guard and greeted her friend: "Long time no see! Purficott!"
"Long time no see, Kallen! Welcome to the North!" Purficott also showed a friendly smile to Kallen.
