Chapter 467 Riot·Arrived in the New World
In fact, Purficott had received a telegram from Langton, which included the hope that she could quickly put down the riots in the colonies in the New World.
After all, after the end of the world, the empire will abandon the mainland and move the essence of the empire to the north. In this case, the New World colonies, as the territory immediately adjacent to the north, will naturally become extremely important.
So for the empire, it is impossible to allow chaos in the New World under any circumstances.
The Imperial Center also plans to transform the New Continent into the core territory of the Empire after moving to the Northern Territory to provide output for the Northern Territory. How can it be allowed to continue to be violent and even independent?
Therefore, even if there was no assassination of Major General Richard, Purficott would still pay attention to this matter and even go to the New World in person.
After completing the work at hand, Purficott got on the train and headed for the New World Colony.
This railway was also newly built in the past two years in order to open up the communication line between the Northern Territory and the New World and ensure that materials from the New World can be transported to the Northern Territory more conveniently.
In the past, transportation between the two places mainly relied on sea transportation, but as the temperature gradually dropped, the sea transportation lines were seriously affected, and land transportation could only be carried out by railway.
As for air transport, airships are also available, but the cost of using airships for transportation is still too high. If it is not something particularly valuable or sophisticated, airships are generally not used for transportation. .
Of course, for wealthy businessmen or nobles, using airships to transport luggage and items is a way to show off their status.
During the period when Purficott returned to the north, almost every few days he could see an airship full of nobles and businessmen landing in Chernobog. They all came from The people from the empire came to hide in the north.
Perfect doesn’t have much dislike for this group of people. Although most of them are people who are not on her list, these people are very willing to spend money after coming to the north. Purficott let them go as long as they did not break the law.
After all, they are all population, and most of them are educated. Although there are some bad habits of the nobility, in general, it can be regarded as raising the average education level and per capita property in the north.
These people may not be able to do serious jobs, but they can be employed as teachers in schools or as ordinary clerks in some government departments.
Just like Purficott had previously refuted those who wanted to add more nobles to her list in the Parliament of Nobles, society itself needs people of all kinds, including poor people and rich people.
Although the total population that the northern border can carry is limited, for now, the number of people who can transport a hundred or so people a day may not be able to transport many people in a year.
So Purficott just let them go. As long as she didn't break the law, could she still stop others from spending money?
As for herself, she was very low-key during this trip. Not only was she dressed very plainly, she was only accompanied by Samantha and her brother. She even sent Claudia to collect the goods first. Information.
Of course, having fewer people around him doesn’t mean that Purficott’s safety is no longer guaranteed.
Not to mention that Samantha and her brother are both great knights, and their strength is not mentioned here. It is not that Purficott does not have any security measures other than that.
Not to mention anything else, Befa, who has never left her side, has undergone another technical upgrade, and her strength has also been greatly improved. Now, although it is not said that she can defeat the Extraordinary Honor, at least she can Multiple great knights cannot defeat her.
It is even an exaggeration to say that if Befa is at full strength, the Steam Knight of the Great Knight level will not be able to defeat her.
So, for Purficott, unless someone sees through her identity, carries out an assassination with a clear purpose, and uses at least the equivalent of an infantry regiment, it will be difficult to control her safety. pose a threat. As for recognizing Perficott's identity? This may be a bit difficult, because Purficott not only hid his identity this time, but also used alchemy to make himself a lifelike human skin mask, changing his appearance and voice.
If people can recognize him like this, then Purficott will recognize him.
She has tried it before. Except for the loyal old housekeeper Foster, who became suspicious due to his familiarity with her for many years, everyone else she tried to contact failed to recognize her.
In addition, she kept a low profile along the way, changed some of her living habits, and pretended to be a small aristocrat who came to seek refuge with her relatives along with her brother and sister Samantha. Basically, it was difficult to compare her current image with the North Contact Earl Jing.
Not to mention that Purficott also used the stand-in puppet that was used at the inauguration ceremony of Chernobog. With the help of the old butler Foster, there was no possibility of being tricked.
Facts have also proved that this series of arrangements by Perfectcott did work. No one doubted that the Earl of the North left the North and arrived in the New World.
However, in addition to safety issues, taking a long-distance train from the north to the New World itself can also be regarded as a "test" for Purficott.
After all, trains in this era only have so much comfort. Although Perficott had taken a small train that passed through the interior of the North before, it was only a short distance. Even if there was any discomfort, he could bear it. It's over with just a moment of forbearance.
But this kind of long-distance journey takes several days on the road, and the discomfort of the train is naturally reflected.
Although Purficott bought a ticket for the sleeper car, and it was also a luxury car, the train from the North to the New World was opened not long ago. In addition to the current environment, the services can only be said to be Yes, but if you want to expect how good it is, you really can't even think about it.
Not to mention anything else, the sound insulation and shock absorption of the car are simply a torture for Purficott.
It can almost be said that she didn't get much rest during this journey, and it even reminded her of the feeling of riding in an old-fashioned green leather car before the journey.
But no matter what, after a bumpy journey, Purficott finally arrived in the New World and came to New Shake City, which was relatively familiar to her.
Due to the war, traffic in most cities in the New World colonies has been interrupted. The only ones that can maintain communication with the northern border are the city of Xinshak and the cities along the railway.
As for other places, it is definitely impossible to reach them by train.
This situation was also within Purficott's expectation. She had already arranged the transportation here before setting off.
In short, she would use her connections with Major General Richard's relatives to board an airship used to transport military supplies to the city where Major General Richard is located.
Because the identity she used on the surface was that of a small nobleman who came to the north from the empire to seek refuge with her relatives, and the relative she wanted to seek refuge with was Major General Richard.
In the case of his assassination, it makes sense to come from the north to visit him.
This also made Purficott regret a little, why he didn't just take the airship when he came from the north, but he had to take the train to keep a low profile.
