Chapter 28 Steam Carriage
  After finishing a breakfast that felt a little too caloric, Purficott left Windsor Castle and took her own steam carriage to an alchemy workshop with which she had a deep relationship.

Pervecourt originally had an alchemy workshop in the city, but her two alchemy workshops were just two small workshops that she bought in order to mass-produce alchemy dolls. Their own production capacity was limited, and the products they could produce were The variety is also very limited.

Before Perfection acquired them, these were two workshops specializing in dolls and precision parts, and they were preparing to be sold due to poor management.

Therefore, when he already knew that the doomsday disaster was coming and decided to abandon his local industry and move to the New World, Perficott took advantage of the situation and packaged and sold the two workshops and the shop selling dolls.

This did not have any adverse effect on Perphycott. On the one hand, she had her own laboratory at Brandleys Manor. When she really needed something, she, the "Royal Chartered Alchemist", could rub it with her own hands. of.

In addition, alchemy workshops are not uncommon in Langton City. If Perficott really needs to customize something, they will be happy to accept an order from a royal chartered alchemist.

In fact, Purficott is currently going to an alchemy workshop with which she has a deep relationship to pick up what she ordered.

At this time, James shamelessly followed up and got into Perfectcott's carriage.

Although Purficott didn't like this intelligence agent who seemed to be a playboy on the surface, considering that this man was now working for her, she did not kick James off the carriage.

However, Purficott did not allow him to enter the carriage, but only asked him to sit on the coachman's seat outside.

Steam carriages ply the streets of Longton, in stark contrast to the traditional horse-drawn carriages on the roads.

Although the invention of the steam engine happened in the last century, and the empire has been promoting steam engines on a large scale for nearly a hundred years, the steam engines that can be seen in Langton City are more used in industrial production rather than transportation. .

Although the Empire also introduced rail public transportation powered by steam engines in the early years, a large vehicle similar to early trams and pulled by a steam locomotive.

However, these big guys have had some traffic accidents due to some problems in municipal planning and imperfect designs.

As for the miniaturized steam engines that have only appeared in recent years, although there are indeed people like Perficott who have applied them to transportation, those who have the ability to do so are either engineers or alchemists.

In short, it is still at the stage of experimentation and technical verification.

Therefore, it is still difficult to see steam-powered vehicles on the streets of Langton today.

Purficott's steam carriage can be considered a one-of-a-kind one.

If there was no apocalyptic disaster, she might consider becoming a carriage tycoon. Before the internal combustion engine was invented, was it possible to make a small fortune by selling steam carriages?
  The steam carriage quickly stopped at the entrance of an alchemy workshop that looked very historical from the outside. James jumped out of the carriage consciously and opened the door for Perfectcott, acting like a follower or follower.

This made Foster, the old butler who was in charge of this job, frown slightly, and then looked at Perfectcott who was still sitting in the carriage, as if he wanted to complain to Perfectcott.

However, Purficott only glanced at James and said to Foster: "Grandpa Afu, please let this guy follow me during this period! Get ready. I will need you to protect me when I go to the New World." I."

When Foster heard Purficott say this, he remembered what she had given him before, so he nodded to show his understanding: "I understand, miss."

Immediately, he turned his head and looked at James with a slightly disgusted look, and then said: "Boy, show some strength when you are with the lady. Your current decadent look cannot protect the lady."

After hearing the conversation between Foster and Purficott, James could only agree with a slightly wry smile on his face: "I will, Miss Purficott has already raised this issue with me."

Seeing James's attitude, Foster didn't say anything more. He just came to the carriage, unfolded the ladder at the bottom of the carriage, and then reached out to help Perfectcott step out of the carriage on the ladder.

"Mr. James, please go do your own thing first. You can come to Windsor Castle to find me in the evening. I should be staying in the city temporarily these days." Perfectcott had no intention of embarrassing James and simply told him He explained: "Don't forget what I told you. You can try to contact or recruit some people you think are suitable. Going to the New World for exploration is a very troublesome thing. I need enough experienced people." .”

"Please rest assured, I will recruit the most professional team for you." James bowed to Purficott, and at the same time, he was making sure of himself.

Purficott smiled politely, and without saying anything more to James, he turned around and walked to the alchemy workshop next to Foster with Foster. When James saw this, he did not follow him, but breathed a sigh of relief. Turn around and leave.

Perfectcott didn't pay attention to James who left. After she and Foster walked into the alchemy workshop, someone immediately came to greet her.

"Ah! Isn't this Miss Brandless? What a rare visitor! Your arrival really makes the shop shine!" A fat man whose voice made people think he was a philistine appeared with a flattering smile. He stood in front of Purficott, and while nodding and bowing to her, he was also rubbing his hands. He wore a pair of round small glasses on his face, matching his pair of small eyes that became slits when he smiled, looking at It felt really full of joy.

In particular, this fat man wore a tight-fitting vest, which made his image even more unbearable.

But Purficott didn't show any smile when he looked at him, nor was he polite to the fat man. He just asked him in a calm tone: "Where is the thing I want?"

"Miss Brandless, your order has been completed, all the goods have been packed, and the store is preparing to deliver them to your home!" The fat man saw that Purficott's cold attitude didn't show any emotion on his face. However, his tone instantly changed when he spoke, and he said with a serious attitude: "The four micro steam engines and six high-strength transmission shafts and matching gear transmission boxes you want have been produced. However, the large propeller you ordered may be slightly delayed by two days due to some deviations in carpentry. I am very sorry for the inconvenience caused to you, and the store is willing to compensate you for all losses!"
