Chapter 416 Conversation between the two
"Welcome! Welcome!" Purficott showed full enthusiasm for Kallen's arrival, holding her hand with a smile on his face: "I I have been waiting for your arrival, Kallen!”
Faced with Purficott’s warm welcome, Kallen was also very happy and said to her: “I also want to see you, but I have been kept away from you. I was so entangled with various things that I didn’t have time to come to the North until recently! I’m really sorry!”
Karen’s apology was sincere, and she really felt sorry for taking so long to come to see Purficott. Feel sorry.
But as she said, there were too many things that bothered her before, which prevented her from visiting the North as soon as she had hoped.
"Don't be sorry, just come!" Purficott was very polite and didn't feel anything about Karen's apology. Instead, he comforted her: "You are tired from the journey, I will have someone prepare some hot food for you." "Water, take a shower and have a good rest first! We'll talk after you get some rest! Don't worry, we have a lot of time."
Although he wanted to talk to Kallen, Perfico wanted to talk to her. You can clearly see the exhaustion on Kallen's face.
And when she held Karen's hands, she could clearly feel the coldness of her hands, as well as the calluses on her palms that were incompatible with a noble lady.
Perfect immediately judged that Kallen must have had a very hard time.
This made Purficott immediately feel sorry for Kallen and wanted her to have a good rest.
Faced with Purficott's enthusiasm, Kallen did not refuse. She had indeed accumulated too much fatigue along the way. Only when she faced Purficott did she feel that she could let go of what she was burdened with. Heavy load, take a good rest.
Under the guidance of a maid, Kallen came to a guest room. The maid quickly prepared hot water for her to take a bath, which made Kallen a little surprised.
After all, taking a bath in this era is a troublesome thing. Even for nobles, it takes time to prepare hot water.
Out of curiosity, Kallen asked the maid her question, but the maid just smiled and said that this was just a routine operation of the Lord's Mansion. After winter, the Lord's Mansion has always been able to obtain hot water at any time.
And not only the Lord's Mansion, but also in Chernoborg, the city starts to supply hot water after winter. However, it is not like the Lord's Mansion that can provide uninterrupted supply throughout the day, but only a short period of time. .
But for the citizens of Chernobog, it is also a thing that greatly improves their lives.
Karen was surprised by this. She did not expect that the standard of living in Chernobog was so high, and hot water was provided in the city!
Even if the supply is only for a few periods a day, this is a huge boon for ordinary people. After all, for ordinary people, the expense of making fire and boiling water every day is not a small sum. .
This also made Kallen admire Purfict even more. No matter how she did it, she was able to bring this level of welfare to the people, which is enough to be praised.
With this thought in mind, Kallen soaked herself in the bathtub. The warm hot water enveloped her body, instantly relaxing her, as if all the fatigue in her body had dissipated.
This made Kallen couldn't help but close her eyes comfortably...
——————————————
When Kallen took a nice warm bath After taking a bath, I slept on a soft, comfortable and warm velvet bed. When I woke up again, the sky was already dark.
Karen put on the clean clothes brought by the maid. Although she looked very soft, she felt surprisingly warm and comfortable when she wore them.
"Miss Kallen, the lord invites you to come and have a meal." The maid knocked on the door and informed her that Purficott had invited her to have a meal.
"Wait a minute, I'll be right away." Kallen got dressed and walked out of the room.
Karen didn’t find it strange that the maid could knock on the door after she woke up. This was a skill that any well-trained maid must master.
"Please follow me, the Lord is already waiting for you in the restaurant." The maid saluted Kallen, then turned around and guided her towards the restaurant of the Lord's Mansion.
The huge and luxurious Lord's Mansion dazzled Kallen. Although her family could be considered a noble, they were nothing compared to the feudal officials like Perficott.
Compared to ordinary people, the life at home is considered very comfortable. Karen also has maids to serve her on weekdays, but her family only has a cook, a gardener and two maids.
One of the two maids is the housekeeper of the family, who is usually responsible for all things. The remaining maid is a personal maid specially assigned to Karen because she is a woman.
However, in the huge lord's mansion, Karen only took a short walk from the guest room to the dining room, and she noticed at least a dozen maids busy around her.
Of course, Kallen did not see these maids. She only noticed the existence of the maids with her senses as an extraordinary person.
This made Kallen unable to help but marvel at the luxury of a lord's daily life, and at the same time marveled at the well-trained maids in the Perfect Court House.
You must know that an excellent maid should normally not let her master notice her presence unless necessary, because this can minimize the impact of the maid on the master she serves.
The kind of standing with a row of maids around you when you have nothing to do is something that only the nouveau riche like to do, except for nobles to show off.
In the tradition of the Victoria Empire, a maid must be able to do everything well silently in order to be called excellent. But compared to the maids in the lord's mansion, Kallen cared more about the steam knights who guarded various key positions like sculptures.
Due to her professional habit of being a monster thief, even though Kallen was walking in the corridor normally like this, she was also habitually observing whether there were any loopholes in the defense of the Lord's Mansion, and herself. Where to go if you want to invade.
However, Purficott’s Lord’s Mansion seemed to have been deliberately targeted. Kallen could hardly find any defensive loopholes in the design. Even if she could enter the Lord’s Mansion with her extraordinary skills, she would still be attacked by those The steam riders discovered that there were almost no blind spots.
"Don't these steam knights need to rest?" Although Kallen could tell that none of these steam knights were human, she still asked this question out of curiosity after meeting Purficott.
As for Kallen's question, Purficott just smiled and said: "Although they are all self-disciplined dolls, they will change their own shifts when the time comes, and then go to maintain and replenish fuel, which can be regarded as a kind of rest. "
"That's it! I thought they were completely endless, that would be too scary." Kallen sighed casually.
Perfect knew that Kallen was worried about these steam knights because of what happened last time, but she didn’t express anything about it. She just quickly ignored the topic and turned to Kallen. He introduced the dishes on the table: "I don't know what you like to eat, so I asked the kitchen to prepare it according to my usual eating habits. They are all home-cooked dishes that I usually like to eat. I hope you won't dislike them."
Because there were only two people dining, Purficott did not ask anyone to prepare too much food, nor did he use the large long table next to it that was more than ten meters long.
Instead, someone specially prepared a smaller table, and only she and Kallen sat facing each other.
However, even so, there were at least seven or eight dishes on the table, each one whetting one's appetite.
"How could it be! These foods smell so good! They must be delicious!" Kallen's praise came from the bottom of her heart. She even said jokingly: "I thought you would hold a banquet. Oh! I didn’t expect that the dignified lord of the north would eat so plainly!”
In Karen’s understanding, nobles are always inseparable from banquets, and she thought that the same was true for Purficott.
However, Purficott just shook his head and said: "Originally, I also planned to hold a banquet, but after thinking about it, I decided not to. Neither you nor I are people who like banquets. Such a simple meal will make the atmosphere more exciting. More appropriate.”
"That's right! In such a simple dining atmosphere, we can talk about some interesting topics." Kallen also agreed with this, and then extended the spoon in her hand to a dish that interested her.
After taking a bite, Kallen couldn't help but praise: "How are you making these meatballs? They are so delicious! They are much more delicious than those made by Aunt Susan! You must make them The recipe tells me that when I get back, I want her to cook it for me too!"
"What do you mean? Cut the fat and thin pork belly into dices the size of your little fingernail, and then add some seasonal ones. Chop the vegetables and mix them with the diced meat to make meatballs, then stew them in a soup made with marinated ham, fresh pheasant, and pork leg bones, and you will naturally get a meatball like this.” Purficott briefly introduced the method and didn't think it was anything important.
However, Karen showed a surprised expression. After tasting the water-like soup in the bowl again, she said in amazement: "How can this soup be so delicious?! But it's no wonder, The ingredients you used to stew the soup are enough for Aunt Susan to make a sumptuous dinner.”
The diet of the New World colonies in this era is really as mediocre as a desert. Faced with what Perfectcott prepared. With the sumptuous feast on the table, Kallen could no longer find any adjectives to express her sigh at the moment. She could only keep stuffing food that interested her into her mouth, and soon she was full.
"Ah! I really can't eat any more! It's so delicious!" Kallen showed a pitiful expression of reluctance but she really couldn't eat any more, while rubbing her already enlarged penis without any ladylike temperament. I looked at the uneaten food on the table and felt pity: "Can I pack these uneaten food and take them away? It would be such a waste to just throw them away..."
Follow this It was the habit of the aristocrats of the era to throw away unfinished meals. No aristocrat would continue to eat what they had not finished. They really could not afford to lose that person.
"Don't worry, the maids will handle the food later. They won't waste the food." Purficott showed a doting smile to Karen, and then explained to her what the food will be like next. The food is shared among the maids, so there is no need to worry about waste.
Karen felt relieved and then said: "Perfect, you are so good to the maid! If only the nobles could be like you!"
"Like me It's not good to do the same, otherwise the people won't resist." Seeing that Kallen had eaten and drank enough, Purficott waved everyone away and removed the uneaten leftovers from the table, leaving only them. After Beifa was making tea aside, he told Kallen what was in his heart.
When Kallen heard this, the expression on her face suddenly changed, but after checking that no one else was around, she relaxed again and said, "You really scared me to death. I thought you would prepare a new one." A more private place to talk! But it’s true as you said, if the aristocrats and capitalists stopped oppressing and exploiting the people so cruelly, everyone wouldn’t be so desperate to resist!”
At this point, Kallen suddenly showed an excited expression on her face, and said excitedly to Purficott: "Perficott, do you know? Our workers' federation has spread throughout the New World colonies, and everyone is enthusiastic I am eager to join the revolutionary cause!
Before I came, everyone was already planning a New World-wide demonstration to force the colonial authorities to make concessions and establish minimum standards and maximum jobs for workers. Time!
I am here to ask your opinion. Do you think we should launch this march? "
This is also the main purpose of Kallen's visit to the north. As the workers' federation grows, everyone's demands are gradually being raised. Therefore, some worker representatives are planning to launch a large-scale demonstration to achieve some substantive achievements.
But Karen was a little unsure about this. She wasn't sure if now was the right time.
After all, Purficot once told her that the world was about to be destroyed, and Purficot was the person appointed by the empire to lead the plan to save the world. If he launched a parade, it would affect Purfico. Special's plan, this is not what Kallen wants to see.
And one more thing, Kallen clearly knows what kind of force Perficott has at his disposal. If this worker rape spreads too far and eventually leads to her suppression, then things will change. It would be so bad that it would completely ruin everything they had achieved.
Faced with Kallen's inquiry, Purficott thought for a while and said: "You lack a suitable opportunity. Although it is a good opportunity now, you lack an opportunity to cause conflicts!< br>
I should have told you that launching a demonstration or workers’ protest is not just a matter of a sudden enthusiasm or feeling that the power has grown. This requires many conditions and a key opportunity..."< br>
