Don’t raise unruly people in extreme cold weather

Chapter 138 The airship arrives

As the black spots continued to enlarge, Purficott couldn't help but open her mouth, because what appeared in front of her was the large airship that caused a sensation in Langton.

Today's weather is not very good, but there are not many clouds in the sky, so Purficott can see the silver-gray hull of the airship that has lowered its flight altitude from a long distance.

Looking at the airship that was getting closer to him and getting bigger and bigger, Perficott felt dizzy.

It's just too big.

Although it was designed by himself, even Purficott himself had never imagined what a spectacular scene it would be when a large airship over a hundred meters long flew towards him like a mountain.

The appearance of the airship naturally caused a reaction in the base. Five steam knights quickly appeared next to Purfict. Captain William personally came to Purfict with the steam knight armor on the ship and asked her whether Need to avoid temporarily.

"That's the empire's airship. It was designed by me. What should I avoid?" Purficott didn't care about this. She didn't think the airship might bring danger to herself.

Captain William didn't say much when he saw this, he just continued to maintain a vigilant posture.

And Samantha also led the guard knights to guard Purfict. Although the White Bear Knights currently equipped with Steam Knight armor are more responsible for the task of guarding Purfict, there are also some who are not suitable. When the Steam Knight appears, he is still protected by the Guard Knight.

Therefore, Samantha will still protect Purfict personally, but with Purfict's current status change, it becomes a bit embarrassing for the knight of the guard to continue to stay with Purfict.

No matter what, the Knights of the Guard are still the Royal Knights and represent the Royal Family.

Before, Purficott was just an ordinary baroness. Their presence beside Purficott symbolized her status as an extraordinary and plenipotentiary envoy, and also symbolized the royal family's favor and trust in her.

But as Purficott was promoted from an ordinary baroness to a frontier official with real military and political power, such as the Earl of the Northern Territory and the Guardian of the Northern Territory, the knights of the guard still stayed with her, seeming to be monitoring her.

Although Purficott himself knew that this was not the case, the status of the Guard Knight in the North was somewhat embarrassing.

However, before officially receiving the order, Samantha still had to fulfill her duties and serve as Purficott's bodyguard by her side at all times.

So when the airship docked at the berth on the Eagle's Beak Cliff, what appeared in front of the passengers who got off the airship was Perficott, who was protected by five guard knights and five steam knights. , it looked even grander than Princess Anne who got off the airship.

This made Princess Anne couldn't help but joke: "Little Purficott, you really have the air of a guardian of the northern border of the empire now."

"Aunt Anne? Why are you here?" Purficott was extremely surprised. She never expected that Princess Anne would actually come to the North in person.

"This is the true maiden voyage of the empire's airship. As a representative of the royal family, I naturally want to experience it myself, right?" Princess Anne walked up to Perfectcott with a smile on her face: "And I also I want to come and see how the empire's pioneering work in the north is developing, and come to discuss with you some matters related to the empire's immigration to the north next year." Hearing Princess Anne say this, Purficott understood. nodded.

Although she knew that things were definitely not what Princess Anne said, these were definitely the official words of the empire.

So Purficott didn't say much. He just asked people to welcome the arrival of the eldest princess with etiquette that complied with the procedures. At the same time, he also asked the camp to quickly prepare a welcome banquet for Princess Anne.

Because of the cold weather, the welcome ceremony was very brief, and Princess Anne quickly returned to the Eagle Beak Cliff camp with Purficott.

Arriving at the reception room of the Perfect Court Laboratory, Princess Anne took off her heavy winter clothes, revealing the military uniform she often wore. Then she sat on the sofa and sighed with a sigh: "Little It’s really not easy for Purficott to come here. If it weren’t for the airship, I might have to wait until next spring before I can come here.”

"So when I was thinking about responding to the doomsday crisis, the first thing I thought of was to develop transportation. Otherwise, the efficiency of ship transportation alone would be too low." Purficott deeply shared the sentiments of Princess Anne.

However, while sighing, Purficott still asked straight to the point: "Aunt Anne, what is the real purpose of your visit this time?"

"The main thing is to send people here for you. I know you must be short of people here. Otherwise, you wouldn't have to recruit even a palace attendant. You know that he is a member of the royal family. Aren't you afraid that the royal family will infiltrate into the north? I Lord Guardian of the North." Princess Anne joked, but then continued: "The palace attendant you recruited helped you recruit about fifty clerks from Langton, most of whom are in the empire. Colonial or civil service experience.

However, considering that the conditions here may be limited and that most people need to take care of their personal affairs, most people still have to wait until spring to come. This time, only five people came with the ship. "

"Five people? That's enough, as long as they're not the kind of idiots who can't move until they're whipped." Although Purficott was a little disappointed when he heard that there were only five people, he didn't think there was any problem.

After all, there is only such a big place in the north now, and if there are too many people, she will have no place to settle.

Princess Anne, on the other hand, shook her head and did not comment on this, but continued: "Apart from them, this airship's maiden voyage is mainly to send you a scientific research team recruited in the name of Arctic scientific research.

I recruited them from Royal Langton University. According to your request, I hired a professor from related fields such as architecture, engineering, biology and alchemy for you, and they all brought their own teams.

They are very enthusiastic about Arctic scientific research. I am afraid that we will really have to let them go to the Arctic by then. "

"Going to the North Pole? It's not troublesome. Just prepare an airship and go there in the summer." Purficott didn't mind letting the excuse he made up come true. It wouldn't take much anyway: "I I’m just worried about whether they will have the courage to go to the North Pole after seeing the wind and snow in the north. And do those old professors really have the physical fitness?"

"That's not what we need to worry about, is it?" Princess Anne laughed.
