Actually, Perfikot had already received a telegram from Langton, which included an appeal for her to quickly quell the uprising in the New Continent colonies.

After all, according to the Empire's plan after the apocalypse, it would abandon its homeland and transfer the essence of the Empire to the Northern Territory. In this situation, the New Continent colonies, as territories adjacent to the Northern Territory, naturally became extremely important.

Therefore, for the Empire, it is impossible to let the New Continent fall into chaos.

The Imperial Center is still planning, after moving to the Northern Territory, to transform the New Continent into the Empire's core territory, to provide output for the Northern Territory. How could they allow it to continue rioting, or even potentially become independent?

So even without the assassination of Major General Richard, Perfikot was bound to pay attention to this matter, and even personally travel to the New Continent.

After completing her work, Perfikot boarded a train headed for the New Continent colonies.

This railway was newly constructed in the past two years, specifically to connect the Northern Territory with the New Continent, ensuring that goods from the New Continent could be transported to the Northern Territory more conveniently.

Previously, transportation between the two regions primarily relied on maritime routes, but as temperatures gradually dropped, sea routes were severely affected, leaving only the railway for land transport.

As for air transport using Flying Airships, it exists, but the cost of using Flying Airships for transport is still too high; if it's not something particularly valuable or delicate, Flying Airships generally wouldn't be used.

Of course, for rich merchants or nobles, using Flying Airships for transporting luggage and goods is instead a way of flaunting their status.

During Perfikot's time in the Northern Territory, almost every few days she could see a Flying Airship fully loaded with nobles and merchants landing at Chernobyl. They were all fleeing from the Empire's homeland to the Northern Territory.

Perfikot didn't particularly dislike this group of people. Though most of them were not on her list, after arriving in the Northern Territory, these people were quite willing to spend money. As long as they did not break laws, Perfikot let them be.

After all, they are also population, and most were educated. Though there might be some aristocratic habits, overall, they raised the average education level and per capita wealth in the Northern Territory.

These people perhaps couldn't do serious work, but throwing them into schools as teachers, or into some government departments as clerical staff, was sufficient.

Just like how Perfikot previously rebutted those people in the Noble Council wanting to add more nobles to her list, society itself requires all kinds of people, both poor and rich.

Although the Northern Territory's population capacity is limited, at present, transporting a hundred people a day for a year might not amount to many people.

So Perfikot let them be. As long as they don't break the law, could she stop them from spending money?

As for herself, she was very low-key on this trip, not only dressing very plainly but also only being accompanied by Samantha and her brother, even Claudia was sent ahead to gather intelligence.

Of course, having fewer people around does not mean Perfikot's safety was compromised.

Not to mention that Samantha and her brother are both Knight Level, their strength is apparent, and Perfikot didn't lack other security measures.

Undoubtedly, Beifa, who never left her side, after another technical upgrade, has seen a major improvement in strength. Now while she might not defeat a titled Extraordinary, at least multiple Knights couldn't defeat her.

Exaggeratedly speaking, if Beifa unleashes her full strength, even Knight-level Steam Knights wouldn't be able to take her down.

Therefore, for Perfikot, unless someone recognizes her identity and carries out an assassination with clear intentions by mobilizing at least equivalent to a battalion's force, it's difficult to pose a threat to her safety.

As for recognizing Perfikot's identity? That might be difficult, as Perfikot not only hid her identity this time, but also used alchemy to create a lifelike human skin mask, altering her appearance and voice.

If she can be recognized even like this, Perfikot would accept it.

She had tested it before, and apart from the loyal old steward Foster, who suspected her due to years of familiarity, none of the other people she tried to contact recognized her.

Moreover, she maintained a low profile throughout, changed some of her habits, and disguised herself as a minor noble seeking relatives with the Samantha siblings, making it very difficult for anyone to associate her current image with the Count of the Northern Territory.

Not to mention that Perfikot also activated the decoy doll used previously in the inauguration ceremony at Chernobyl, with loyal old steward Foster helping conceal her, there's practically no chance of exposure.

The facts have proven that Perfikot's arrangements were effective, as no one suspected that the Count of the Northern Territory had left the Northern Territory and arrived at the New Continent.

Besides the safety issue, traveling by long-distance train from the Northern Territory to the New Continent was termed a 'test' for Perfikot.

After all, trains of this era had limited comfort; Perfikot had previously taken the small train within the Northern Territory for short trips, so any discomfort could be tolerated.

But for long journeys, taking several days on the road, the discomfort of the train naturally manifested.

Though Perfikot bought a sleeping berth ticket, a luxury carriage ticket, the train from Northern Territory to New Continent had just launched not long ago and given the current environment, the services were merely present but expecting excellence was unrealistic.

Not to mention the soundproofing and shock absorption of the carriages were sheer torture for Perfikot.

She hardly got any rest throughout the journey, even bringing back memories of pre-transmigration times when she rode old-style green trains.

Nonetheless, after a bumpy journey, Perfikot finally reached the New Continent, arriving at New Shaker City, a place relatively familiar to her.

Due to the war, most city transports in the New Continent colonies were interrupted; only New Shaker City and the cities along the railway maintained connections with the Northern Territory.

Regarding other places, it's simply impossible to reach by train.

This situation was within Perfikot's expectations; she had already arranged transportation here before departure.

In short, she would use her relationship with Major General Richard's relatives to board the Flying Airship transporting military supplies, heading to the city where Major General Richard was located.

Because the identity she used openly was that of a minor noble from the Empire's homeland going to the Northern Territory seeking relatives, with the relative being Major General Richard.

Given his assassination, it was naturally reasonable to visit from the Northern Territory.

This also made Perfikot regret why she didn't just take the Flying Airship from the Northern Territory too, instead of opting for the train to maintain a low profile.
