Don’t raise unruly people in extreme cold weather

Chapter 415 Visiting the Lord's Mansion

The wind and snow in the North are far worse than those in the New World. Even though Pignesburg, where Karen lives, is very close to the North and is considered the northernmost city in the New World, it rarely encounters such extreme wind and snow in winter.

Just looking at the uncleared snow on the roadside is enough to feel the horror of the northern snowstorm. The snow is enough to drown a person who is not very tall!

However, even so, the streets in the North were still cleared, and all the snow on the road was cleared away by special vehicles. Although it might still be a bit slippery to walk on, it was at least much more comfortable than walking in the snow that could bury people.

As Kallen walked, she couldn't help but sigh that Perfectoct's governance of the North was truly efficient.

I have been to Pignesburg in the New World and Kallen in the New Shock City. There has been snow there since winter, but the local city hall has obviously not considered how to clear the snow from the roads.

This also led to very bad conditions in the city. The snow on the road was not only thick but also compacted, causing great inconvenience to citizens' travel.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that the local city hall does not have the conditions to clear the snow. After all, the snowplow dispatched by the North is a steam tracked vehicle designed by Perfectcot and modified into a snowplow.

This heavy vehicle relies on two tracks and can travel well even on ice or snow, and the powerful power generated by the steam turbine is enough to ensure that it can push or pull objects weighing more than ten tons.

As long as the tracked vehicle is modified with a tool that can be used to clear snow, it can clean the road very efficiently.

However, although it is highly efficient, the cost of this steam tracked vehicle is not low. One vehicle costs at least two thousand gold pounds. For a city like Pignesburg that has just emerged from a financial crisis, it is really unaffordable.

But not being able to afford a steam crawler is one thing, not being able to clear the snow is another.

After all, if you can’t afford a car, can you still hire someone?
Pignesburg is not like the North. The snow is at most knee-deep, and the city area is not that large. If the city hall is willing to spend some money, it will be no problem to clear the snow on the main streets in the city.

However, these had little to do with Karin. Although she had proposed to the Pignesburg City Hall through the Workers' Union that the Workers' Union should be responsible for clearing snow from Pignesburg's roads as long as the City Hall was willing to provide the necessary funds, the Pignesburg City Hall rejected the proposal.

The main reason for this is that the Workers' Union does not want to give kickbacks to a councillor in the city hall.

Yes, the other party would also get a kickback in this kind of thing, so after discussing it with the representatives of the Workers' Union, Karen refused.

And then the matter fell through.

In this regard, Kallen could only say that she had underestimated the degree of corruption and depravity of some people. This world was just as Perfectcot said, only by completely breaking the shackles of the old world could a beautiful new world be rebuilt.

Thinking of Perfecto, Karen suddenly became impatient. She couldn't help but want to meet her and tell her what she had experienced and done during this period of time.

And most importantly, how much I missed her during these days of separation.

But before that, Kallen knew that she couldn't just go to Perfecto directly.

She needed to change her attire and meet the Northern Lord under another identity that would allow her to approach Perfect, rather than her current identity as Kafka, the leader of the Workers' Union.

There is no other possibility except seeking death.

After all, as the lord of the North, it was impossible for Perfect to have any connection with the leader of the New World Workers' Union and a wanted criminal. Kallen found a secluded alley and quickly changed her clothes.

She suddenly transformed from a poor and thin worker into a well-dressed noble lady.

Then she quickly came to the street, stopped a taxi, and asked the carriage to take her to the lord's mansion in the north.

Arriving at the gate of the lord's mansion, Karen was stopped by the guards at the gate as expected. However, seeing Karen's aristocratic attire, the guards did not be rude, but politely asked her about her identity and purpose.

Karen naturally responded like a noble lady: "Hello, I am Karen Aldessia, I came from Pignesburg to visit the Earl. I am the Earl's friend, please help inform him."

Hearing that Karen claimed to be the Earl's friend, the guards did not dare to neglect her and invited her to the duty room at the door of the lords to prevent Karen from continuing to be exposed to the wind and cold. At the same time, they immediately reported the matter to their superiors.

As a guard, he was not qualified to report directly to the lord's mansion, but needed his superior to convey the message.

Even in case of emergency, ordinary guards cannot violate this rule and directly break into the lord's mansion.

After all, it is too easy to pretend to be an ordinary guard. No one knows whether you are a guard, an assassin, or some other dangerous person.

What if he was planning something bad to Perfect? ​​Who could guarantee that nothing would go wrong?
So sometimes, the rules are indeed cumbersome, but they are necessary.

However, even though the rules were complicated, the efficiency of the lord's mansion was still very high. Just a few minutes after Karen sat down, Perfectcot's old butler appeared in front of her.

"Miss Aldessia, the Earl invites you into his mansion for a chat." Foster didn't know Karen's specific identity, but since Perfectcott said that she was indeed his friend, as Perfectcott's loyal old housekeeper, he naturally had to treat her well.

After ordering the servant to carry Kallen's luggage, he led Kallen through the vestibule of the lord's mansion and into the interior of the building.

As soon as she entered the lord's mansion, Karen immediately felt a wave of heat blowing towards her, making her feel a lot warmer.

During these days she had been staying with the people from the Workers' Union and had suffered from hunger and cold.

Even though she was the leader of the Workers' Union and a lady of a noble family, Karen did not give herself any special or preferential treatment. On the contrary, she often saved her own food rations to share with the children, which made her life very difficult during this period.

Of course, this was just a training for Karin herself. If she wanted, she could go back to the affluent aristocratic life at any time, but she just didn't want to do that.

But even so, the luxury and comfort of the Northern Lord's Mansion still made her feel genuinely relaxed.

And when Perfect appeared in front of her, Kallen finally let down all her guard and greeted her friend: "Long time no see! Perfect!"

"Long time no see, Kallen! Welcome to the North!" Perfect also gave Kallen a friendly smile.
