Chapter 492 Before the Banquet
In the history of Xinshang City, it has never been as lively as it is today, or it has never been as crowded with dignitaries.
The coming-of-age banquet held to celebrate Purficott’s birthday brought together all the dignitaries and celebrities from the entire Victoria Empire, as well as envoys and dignitaries from other countries.
If it were in the original world, Purficott felt that this could even be said. Everyone you often see in the current affairs news on TV can be found at her coming-of-age banquet.
The reason why such an exaggerated situation happened is that in addition to the fact that Purficott had invited many important people and the various dignitaries in the Victoria Empire hoped to attend the banquet, there was also the reason why such an exaggerated situation occurred. A very important factor is that other countries in the old world also hope to use this incident to draw closer relations with the Victoria Empire to ensure that their countries have a way out.
The news of the end of the world has now been confirmed and believed by all countries in the world, and this has undoubtedly created a relatively embarrassing situation.
That is, for most countries in the world, they are completely unprepared to deal with the end of the world.
They even made no preparation at all, not even a basic plan.
This has made most countries anxious. They can ignore the lives of their own people, but they cannot ignore the lives of their own dignitaries.
Especially since most of the old world countries in this world are still under the rule of monarchy, the royal families of various countries have no intention of accompanying the entire country to death.
What's more, marriages between the royal families of the old world countries in this world are also very frequent. Although Her Majesty the Queen of the Victoria Empire is not as exaggerated as the European grandmother, when it comes to talking about it, the royal families of various countries in the old world can basically compete with the royal family of the Victoria Empire. Build a relationship between them.
Some people who have a close enough relationship with the Victoria Empire can even bring their relationship to Perficott.
After all, her parents did not pop out of a rock. Although the Brandless family is not a famous family, it is also a knight family with a long history that can be traced back to the early days of the founding of the Victoria Empire. There have been many times in the family history. There are still many people who have been married.
Although Purficott's mother's side of the family has declined and has no relatives, if someone really wants to trace the origins and establish connections, they can still find some connections.
Not to mention the occasion like Purficott's coming-of-age banquet, even if there is no relationship, there will be people coming to try to establish a relationship.
If it weren't for some countries that were really difficult to come to, perhaps the coming-of-age banquet at Purficott would have been even grander.
But even so, the hotel venue originally booked by Purficott was almost not enough, and had to open all the banquet halls on the upper and lower floors of the hotel, which was barely enough to accommodate all the guests.
And this has caused a very serious problem. Only the top dignitaries of the old world can enter the key floors that were originally used as the venue, while other guests who are not so prominent or distinguished can only enter other places. Two floors.
Not to mention that the hotel had never hosted a banquet of this scale before, so it was suddenly severely short of manpower.
Fortunately, Purficott's identity is here. Whether it is borrowing a palace attendant from the royal family or bringing over her maid team in the north, it is not a problem. After dispatching several high-speed airships, After the emergency transportation of the boat, the manpower problem was quickly solved.
As for the hotel's lack of preparation for the number of guests and the shortage of drinks, dishes and other items, it is not that big of a problem.
After all, when everyone comes to the banquet, they don’t come here to eat and drink. They have to prepare things, but it doesn’t matter if they have less. The real problem is that with so many guests, who is qualified to enter the core venue on the main floor, and who can only stay in the banquet halls on the other two floors.
After all, the guests who can enter the venue are all powerful and powerful people, and they are also important people who need to be looked up to.
That is to say, there were too many top dignitaries at Purficott's birthday party, which made some less important guests seem less important.
However, none of these problems can bother Purficott. They will be dealt with by her loyal old housekeeper and the palace attendants sent by the royal family.
Perficott’s only involvement was the two Knights of White Bear and Iron Fire who were transferred to take over the on-site security work. At the same time, due to the expansion of the venue, one hundred and twenty self-disciplined people were transferred. knight.
This can be regarded as a force deterrent in a sense. After all, two knights, 160 steam knights and 120 self-discipline knights, were gathered in the entire venue. In total, Two hundred and eighty steam knights.
Of course Purficott didn’t have nothing to show off her family wealth, but she had already received some news before. Among the guests attending her birthday party this time, several of them were from the old world. Guests of the country, their country did not have a good relationship with the empire in the past, and now it is not well prepared to face the doomsday crisis, so they hope that the empire can help them.
It is best if this help is free. If the empire does not agree, they will not hesitate to threaten war.
There is no doubt that this has the same effect as the Seventeen-Day War two years ago.
If the war really starts, even if Purficott can recreate the glorious victory of the Seventeenth Day War and annihilate the enemy in a short period of time, it will have a very bad impact.
Interfering with Viktoria's response to the apocalyptic disaster is one of the problems. The biggest problem is making the countries in the old world become seriously hostile to Viktoria.
Although for Victoya, once the doomsday comes, these will not be a problem, but there is still more than half a year before the doomsday comes. If all the countries in the old world are enemies of Victoya during this half year, Even if they can't win, they can still disgust Victoya to death.
So in order to avoid anyone being confused about the formality, Purficott could only display these powerful war weapons at the banquet, so as to deter those with ulterior motives.
As for the fact that Steam Rider cannot dispel those people's inappropriate thoughts, this is not a problem.
Because at this dinner, although the steam knights were a force deterrent, they were only part of the force deterrence.
In other words, the protagonists of this dinner for force deterrence are not them, but the god-killing armor that Perficott has designed and built.
Yes, during the time that Perficott was dealing with the problems in the New World, the prototype of the God-killing Armor has been completed and is ready for debut.
