Don’t raise unruly people in extreme cold weather

Chapter 34 The fat man seizes the opportunity

"So have you thought about it?" Purfict asked casually, looking at the fat man who was very reserved in front of him, clutching his hat with both hands and looking nervous.

Of course, Oliver could tell that Perfectcott was teasing him, but he came to his door willingly at this time.

He just said humbly to Purficott: "Dear Baroness, although I don't know what happened, but I know that this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If I don't seize it, I will never dream about it at night for the rest of my life." Give yourself a chance to slap yourself twice!"

Two hundred and seventy thousand gold pounds was a very tempting figure, but the fat man was not dazzled by this astonishing wealth.

In other words, he has changed from simply wanting to make money through this matter to wanting to figure out what happened and how to get the maximum profit from this matter.

For Oliver, the only chance he has to figure out what is going on is to get Perficott's approval and learn from her what is going on.

"It's an interesting description, and to a certain extent, it's true." Purfict glanced at the fat man appreciatively, then brushed his lips with his fingers and looked at Oliver with interest. Asked: "I seem to have told you not to be dazzled by money. Come to me after you think about it clearly. So Mr. White, have you thought about it clearly?"

Listening to Purfict solemnly calling his last name, Oliver knew that this was the critical moment. As long as he didn't miss the mark at this time, there would only be one last step away from what he wanted to know. !

So what appeared on Oliver's fat face at this time was a kind of sincere nervousness and more determination. He replied firmly to Perfectcott: "I have thought about it carefully. Dear Countess, everything in the White Alchemy Workshop will be at your disposal."

"Putting money on your alchemy workshop? A good bargaining chip, but it's not enough." Purficott picked up his teacup, sipped the fragrant black tea, and asked the slightly embarrassed Oliver: "If I asked you to give up everything you have now and follow me to the New World, would you be willing?"

This sounds a bit ambiguous, but Oliver White is a fat middle-aged man in his late forties, and he is old enough to be Perfectcott's father.

Although there were not a few nobles who had the same interests and hobbies as the bishop who deserved to be hanged, there was no doubt that Oliver did not have the guts to have any undue thoughts about a baroness.

In other words, this fat man only has interests and money in his mind, and anything else is not that important to him.

Not to mention that he doesn't have any evil thoughts about Perfectcott. Even if he does, he will restrain and abandon them, and only use the most rational way to think about whether it is in his own interests.

If you have to define this fat man, he is a complete profit animal, and he will even sell the rope to hang himself.

So after Purficott said this, the first thing that came to his mind was his own interests and gains.

For this fat man, as long as he can make some money, he doesn't mind agreeing to Perfectcott's conditions and going to the New World to open up new markets.

But this is based on the premise that he really makes some money. He must figure out what is going on and what kind of benefits he can get. So after hesitating for a while, he asked Purficott straight to the point: "Your Majesty, Baroness, may I ask what the reason for all this is?"

As a businessman, information is one of the most critical factors in whether he makes money. Before he has enough information, he really cannot evaluate the pros and cons and cannot make a choice.

Upon seeing this, Purficott did not embarrass the fat man, and just said to him: "You want to know the specific information? That will have serious consequences and responsibilities.

Now all the information is still the top secret of the empire. If you know it, you need to bear the corresponding responsibility. If the information leaks from you, the consequences..."

What Purficott said was a bit serious, but Oliver did not hesitate or flinch. He just nodded seriously and promised to Purficott: "If I leak the secrets of the empire, I am willing to bear the responsibility." All responsibility.”

"Since you said so, I won't say anything more. The top secret of the empire is that the world is going to be destroyed." Purficott casually asked Oliver in a tone of discussing what the weather will be like tomorrow. Tell this amazing secret.

And according to calculations and predictions, mankind only has three years left, and mankind may face a severe winter in the second year.

This kind of secret needs to be kept for now, and then basically everyone will know it.

So Purficott didn't particularly care about keeping things secret. The reason why he told Oliver so seriously was just to test whether the fat man was trustworthy.

After hearing what Purficott said, Oliver was stunned for a few seconds without reacting.

After all, the world is going to be destroyed. This sounds ridiculous and even makes people want to laugh.

The world is fine, how could it be destroyed? This is not a joke!
  However, Purficott's serious look and the various information he had heard fully demonstrated that this matter was not a joke.

So after twitching his lips and trying to liven up the atmosphere with a smile, but seeing that there was no joking look on Purficott's face, Oliver couldn't help but asked with a stiff face: "Is the world really going to be destroyed? "

"Yes, according to my calculations and the predictions of the Royal Astronomical Society, the core of this planet will freeze within three hundred years, and for humans, there are only three years left in the countdown to the collapse of modern society." Purfe Kurt finally stood up, looked at Oliver who was still in disbelief, and explained to him: "In the next three years, the temperature in Langton City will drop to minus 40 degrees. You may not know that this is What concept does it mean..."

"I know. I've been to Hyponia and seen the cold winter there." Oliver interrupted Purfict's explanation rudely, his face became pale and trembling, and he spoke in an almost trance-like manner. He said in a tone of voice: "That's a cold enough to freeze steel. No one can survive in that kind of cold!"

"In fact, there are people who survived that kind of cold." Purficott thought of a person who had tempered himself into steel in that kind of cold, but she did not expand on this topic. He just said to Oliver: "What we have to do is to enable the people of the empire to survive in that kind of cold."
