Chapter 371 Attending the Hearing

In the end, under the persuasion of the Duke of Gloucester, Perfecto decided to attend the hearing convened by the Council of Nobles.

After all, the Duke of Gloucester was always with him, so Perfecto felt a little guilty about it.

However, this does not mean that Perfect will have a good face towards the Council of Nobles, or that she may attend the hearing, but it does not mean that she will accept the questioning of those good-for-nothings who are just sitting there doing nothing.

But the Duke of Gloucester did not know this. After Perfectcote said he would attend the hearing, he was relieved and put at ease, and then left Perfectcote's residence.

The Duke of Gloucester was certainly not stupid. He could see that Perfecto had no intention of attending the hearing and accepting questioning, but at this point he had done everything he could, and he could not stop those noble members from seeking their own death.

Or perhaps the Duke of Gloucester, who was in a difficult situation because of this incident, did not intend to stop it.

The Imperial Court at the core of the empire has already decided to announce the arrival of the doomsday winter. At this time, these nobles are still looking for trouble with Perfectot. Not only are they shortsighted, but they are also going against the future of the empire.

Although some of these people wanted to question Perfecto out of their loyalty to the country in order to prevent her from gaining power and becoming a powerful official, such people were a minority after all.

Most of the members of the Council of Nobles who participated in this incident were fools who failed to see the current situation clearly or were blinded by their own petty gains.

Those who can truly see the situation clearly will not get involved in this matter at all, and those who are truly loyal to the country will not be stubborn and stick to one path to the end after the Duke of Gloucester personally talks to them.

So without the knowledge of the noble senators involved in this matter, the nature of this hearing had already changed.

At this time, Perfect agreed to attend the hearing, but the result was already obvious.

The only thing the Duke of Gloucester had to worry about was whether Perfect would demolish the meeting place of the Council of Nobles, or make the situation so difficult to clean up that the meeting place of the Council of Nobles could no longer be used in a short period of time.

However, considering that the empire's homeland will be abandoned in a year, these are actually not big problems.

In fact, Perfecto already understood the Duke of Gloucester's little plan. She couldn't say that she was happy about this matter, but at least she was going with the flow.

Although she is not a bloodthirsty person, if someone brings a group of idiots like this to her for her to vent her anger, there is no need for her to control her temper.

Not to mention that this can also be regarded as clearing out useless bugs for the empire and eliminating future unstable factors in advance.

She knew these nobles too well. If they arrived in the North after the end of winter, they would definitely not make any contribution to the North except causing trouble.

Although their existence is not a sin, for the empire, the meaning of their existence is just a waste of food and the preservation of some ancient aristocratic families.

If it were a peaceful time, their existence would be just like this.

The empire will not deliberately deal with them, nor will it give them any extra preferential treatment. Their noble status and everything they enjoy are just the legacy of their ancestors. When all of this is exhausted, they will be worthless.

As the capital of the empire, it is common to see down-and-out nobles who have lost their titles or property on the streets of Langton.

Therefore, for the empire, it is not a big problem to consume a group of nobles who are just sitting there doing nothing. However, in normal peacetime, one needs to consider the impact and whether it is worth doing so.

Now, with the threat of a doomsday winter in front and the possible civil unrest that would result from abandoning the empire's homeland behind, the fewer unstable factors the better.

Not to mention, the consumption of this group of noble councilors can also bring good mood to the key figure Perfect, which is a good deal that kills two birds with one stone.

The only ones who were unhappy might be the noble parliamentarians themselves.

But who can blame them for not being able to see the current situation clearly? We have no choice but to let them down.

--------------

On the day of the hearing, Perfect did not put on any exaggerated display. She simply arrived at Longton on her airship, and then dropped off her steam carriage and the two steam knight flags she brought with her.

One of them is the dragon-slaying team of the White Bear Knights. After participating in the feat of slaying the dragon last time, this flag team has become the face of the White Bear Knights. And because of their achievements, Perfect also personally upgraded the equipment of this team.

Although she did not personally make the steam armor for them, she participated in the design and improvement, but the final production part was handed over to other alchemists and craftsmen.

However, even so, the weapons and equipment of this flag team are the best in the White Bear Knights, second only to the Flying Knights.

Perfect did not bring flying knights with him. On the one hand, they lacked flying armor, and on the other hand, there was no need to be so high-profile.

Although Perfect has released fantasy alchemy, allowing alchemists to bypass the limitations of the Philosopher's Stone and create fantasy elements that do not exist in reality.

But the production of flying stone is still too complicated and too difficult for ordinary alchemists.

So far, the flight armors of the nine flying knights have not been completed, only four sets have been completed. There is really no need for Perfect to take them with him now.

Especially when she has to lead another flag team.

This flag team came from the old prince's knightly order, whose name was Iron Fire. Steel and fire formed the cornerstone of defending the empire.

The old prince's ambitions and what he wanted to do were actually revealed very early on, and the name of this knightly order is the most intuitive proof of this.

After they joined Perfectoct's team, they also needed some actions and achievements to prove themselves.

Correspondingly, Perfecto naturally also needs to appease them to a certain extent to ensure that the knights left to her by the old prince can continue to remain loyal and play their due role under her command.

Bringing them to the hearing and handing over the task of dealing with the group of noble senators to them afterwards is a sign of trust, which is very helpful in enhancing the loyalty of these knights and will also make it easier for Perfect to drive them.
