Don’t raise unruly people in extreme cold weather

Chapter 203 Inside the venue

With all preparations completed, the exhibition began as expected.

With Purfict's personal invitation, all the dignitaries and wealthy people in New Xia Ke City naturally did not dare to neglect, and they all gathered here to participate in this exhibition, which was even grander than the previous banquet hosted by the Governor for Purfict.

Just in terms of the number of people present, the big scene created by Purficott had at least twice as many people as the previous Governor's banquet.

And those who can be invited by Purficott and let in by the guard must have sufficient status or wealth. It can be said that celebrities from the political and business circles of Xinshak City and even the entire New World colony basically gather here. .

If someone really wants to cause trouble or do something, it doesn't require much, just set a fire at the venue, and the entire New World colony will tremble tomorrow.

This is no exaggeration, but these people present have been involved in all aspects of the New World colonies, whether it is people's livelihood or politics, they are inextricably related to these guests present.

Any one of them has a lot of energy, and if something happens, it will definitely cause an uproar.

It can even be said that even if the Governor fails today, the impact will not be greater.

Therefore, the governor did not dare to neglect the security work at the scene. Not only did he send a large number of guards, he also strictly reviewed the identity of every guest present to ensure that they had not been impersonated or replaced.

Be careful not to let anyone take advantage of this opportunity to sneak in or plot evil, and at the same time, you also want to find the thief in advance.

Therefore, for the governor, even the death of a hundred civilians is far less than the death of one powerful person.

Just like the last massacre caused by Purficott, it really made the whole New Xia Ke city panic, and the people were scared into silence. However, more than half a year has passed, except for the statue on the pier because of the statue erected by Purficott. In addition to the inability to eliminate traces, other places in the city have long since lost the traces left by the city-wide cables, and the lives of ordinary people have returned to normal.

As he said that, he took the champagne brought by the waiter and drank it all in one gulp before walking towards where Purficott was.

After all, those who died in something like this last time were some rebels and lower-class people who opposed the colonial authorities, and it was insignificant to the entire New World.

Obviously, Purficott doesn't like people talking about her appearance, but as a woman, this kind of thing is inevitable.

If Purficott wanted to capture the phantom thief, it would be better for her to make as big a show as last time, or even to cause the same massacre.

But after being appeased afterwards and making relevant policy changes, it only took a short period of time to make them forget about this matter.

The death of a hundred civilians would be troublesome to the governor at best, but if a powerful man died, it might be a disaster for him.

"Earl Brandlis, you are so beautiful today! This event will be eclipsed by your beauty. Nothing can compare with your beauty." The Governor sincerely complimented him without leaving any trace. He nudged his nephew with his elbow to tell him not to be so embarrassed.

And his nephew and secretary was even more stunned, looking so distracted that his eyes almost fell on Perfectcott.

But now that all the dignitaries of Xinshak City are gathered together like this, and then they try to challenge the Phantom Thieves, isn't this a typical example of smashing a mouse with precious oriental porcelain?

However, the Governor was obviously not qualified to interfere with Purfict's actions. Even if her actions were pure nonsense in his opinion, he could only silently cooperate with Purfict's nonsense and compliment her on how beautiful she was. .

In the Governor's view, although the death of ordinary people will indeed have a bad impact, it is not a big problem for the New World colony as a whole. The Governor's Office only needs to send someone to apologize and stabilize social security. , make some appeasing policy changes, and the rest is not a problem.

"Uncle, Earl Brandlis has arrived. Do you want to go over to greet her?" The governor's secretary appeared next to him, reporting the current situation to him.

People are very forgetful. When something happens, they may be deeply impressed and emotionally excited.

In the governor's view, the contest between Purficott and the thief was a complete nonsense. It was not only meaningless, but also brought a lot of instability and hidden dangers to herself and the entire New World colony.

"I have said it many times, call me Governor in public!" The Governor glanced at his nephew with dissatisfaction, but did not criticize him too much. He just nodded and said, "I understand, I will go there right away."

What is Purficott’s identity? Who was the thief who stole her things? Purficott wants to catch the little thief, and all the police and military forces in the entire New World colony can serve her. Even if she transfers her Guards Division and Knights to New Shaker City, it is not a problem for the governor. unacceptable.

Regarding the governor's praise, Purfict just shook his head indifferently, and then responded: "Rather than my appearance, I hope people will remember my talent. I can become the northern earl of the empire, not because of my beauty." .”

Because this is reality, this is the gap caused by power, identity and status.

Because of this, the Governor found it very difficult to understand Purficott's move to challenge a thief.

As today's protagonist, Purficott seemed to pay special attention to today's exhibition. She was dressed up in a gorgeous dress that matched her youthful and beautiful appearance, which made the Governor even feel a little thirsty.

Especially since she is indeed beautiful, even rivaling her talent.

Because of this, Purficott usually doesn't like to dress up very much, but does whatever makes him feel comfortable.

Although with her wealth and status, she can enjoy the most luxurious life and dress herself up in a fashionable and gorgeous way.

"Of course! When people first see you, Lord Earl, they will be attracted by your beauty, but when people get to know you, they will know that you are the leading genius in the empire." The governor was still complimenting, and these words also It's sincere.

After all, Purficott was a true genius. People heard that her reputation was more about her outstanding achievements in alchemy than about her stunning appearance.

Of course, this has something to do with the fact that she was just an orphan girl from a baron's family two years ago, and she is too young.

"Okay, no need to say these polite words, how are the preparations for today's meeting?" Purficott raised his hand to stop the governor's compliments and politeness, and turned to ask about business.

Upon seeing this, the Governor corrected his expression and immediately replied to Purficott: "Please rest assured that we have verified the identity of every guest present to ensure that they have not been impersonated or replaced. At the same time, we have also verified the identity of every guest present. The venue has been strictly cordoned off. Now the area around the venue has been cordoned off by the police, who will ensure that no one except those who have received invitations can enter the block where the hotel is located during the exhibition."

Although he looked down upon Purficott's nonsense, the Governor still provided security very conscientiously.

After all, if something happened, he couldn't bear the responsibility.

"Very good, but what if the thief is not entering the venue now, but has already arrived?" Purficott looked at the governor and asked him something that sounded outrageous, but was very possible. question.

Faced with this question, the Governor was stunned for a moment, but then replied: "It's impossible. Before allowing guests to enter, my people have already checked the venue many times to ensure that no one is hiding here in advance."

Having said this, the Governor proudly assured Purficott: "I know, Lord Earl, that you are worried that what happened last time will happen again, so this time even the waiters in the hotel have been verified to make sure that every one of them is..." He is a real waiter in the hotel, not an imposter who was sneaked in.

This time, I asked the Governor's Mansion to invest enough security forces to absolutely ensure that this time it would be foolproof and there would be no mistakes.

And I think that the thief may not really dare to challenge, he is just a dirty thief. The last time he was able to steal your property, Lord Earl, he had great luck. Now he wants to do it again? "

Having said this, the governor couldn't help but snorted coldly, and then smiled and said: "I'm afraid this little thief doesn't have a list to fight, but has already escaped from Xinshake City."

"Really? I don't think so." Purficott shook his head, but didn't say much. He just said to the governor: "But it's useless to say more. Let's wait and see. I always feel that there will be surprises today. "

The Governor had no objections to this. After all, he couldn't stop what Perficott wanted to do.

So the Governor just shrugged his shoulders, made a helpless expression, and extended his hand to Purficott in a gesture of invitation.

Purficott responded with a polite nod, and then walked into the meeting place. Behind her, Samantha, who was wearing a knight's dress, and Claudia, who was still dressed as an assassin, never left her side.

The last incident made Purfict worry about his own safety. Now Samantha and the Knight Guard team are almost inseparable, and the same goes for Claudia. Even Purfict sleeps with her. You also need to keep a close eye on him to make sure nothing goes wrong.

Even if someone wants to get close to Perfecticot, no matter who they are, they will alert her. Anyone who comes within five meters of Perfecticot will be secretly targeted by her with weapons, and they may be attacked by her if they make the slightest dangerous move.

It is precisely because of having such a guard around her that even though Purficott is in a crowded venue, her side is still empty.

In addition to the fact that she was in a specially designed rest area, it was also because no one dared to approach Perfectcott.

This made Purficott very satisfied. Although she organized this exhibition, she did not like social interaction and unnecessary entertainment and politeness. Now she was just in peace.

This also allowed her to have enough time and concentration to observe everyone present with her omniscient eyes, trying to find the phantom thief among the crowd.

Based on Claudia's previous description, Perficott had reason to suspect that the phantom thief's magical transformation was probably achieved with the help of some kind of alchemy prop or magic instrument.

To her omniscient eye, this kind of thing is as conspicuous as a firefly in the dark night.

Just as Purficott was observing the guests around her, a soft voice suddenly came, causing her to retract her gaze.

A delicate-looking aristocratic lady appeared in front of Purficott and said in a very soft voice: "Sorry to bother you, can I take a rest here? My health is not very good, and you are the only ones in the venue. There are seats here.”

Purficott looked the delicate noble lady up and down, with a hint of interest in her eyes.

This is a very beautiful little beauty. Although she looks a little inferior to Purficott, her delicate and small facial features combined with decent clothes and delicate temperament still give her a unique charm.

Purficott believed that if she asked other men for help, it would be unlikely that those men would refuse her request.

But it was obvious that she did not ask for help from the gentlemen in the venue, but came to Perfectcott to ask for help.

This may be because she is afraid of other strange men, which is understandable. After all, this aristocratic lady does appear to be very weak and has a fear of strangers.

She gave people the impression that she was the kind of well-protected but fragile aristocratic lady. She probably came to see the world with her father and brother. She did not dare to come into contact with other strange men and could only turn to the only people she saw. A woman alone asks for help.

Looking at this timid aristocratic lady and the expectation in her eyes, Purficott nodded slightly: "Please sit down, young lady, this delicate and delicate flower should not be bullied by wind and rain."

Although Purficott's last words were a bit suspicious of teasing this delicate noble lady, the other party still politely expressed his thanks to Purficott, and then sat obediently and kept a distance from Purficott. on another single sofa.

In response to her move, Purficott raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and then asked: "This beautiful lady, may I know your name?"

"My name is Kallen, and I came here with my friends." The noble lady answered Purficott's question in a very soft tone.

"Karen? What a beautiful name." Purficott laughed, then looked at Claudia beside him and ordered her: "Claudia, make a soothing drink for this lady. It’s good for her.”

Then she looked at the noble lady who called herself Kallen, smiled at her and explained: "Claudia is my guard. She is proficient in pharmacy. I usually like to ask her to give me medicine when I can't sleep. Making a soothing drink not only allows me to sleep peacefully, but also keeps me energetic."
