Extreme Cold Era: Shelter Don't Keep Waste-Chapter 542 - 509: Slacking Off Interrupted

Eldest Princess Annie’s questions were not answered by Perfikot. She simply placed her empty glass of milk aside and casually asked, "Where is Beifa? How did she let you in? I remember arranging Autonomous Knights as guards at the door."

To slack off, Perfikot certainly needed to create conditions that were comfortable and undisturbed.

The Autonomous Knights for guarding need not be mentioned, and Beifa, as the head maid, should be on standby to act as her personal bodyguard.

After all, if someone did manage to sneak in, Beifa was the last line of defense in front of Perfikot.

However, Eldest Princess Annie could reach her without triggering any alarms, which made Perfikot somewhat cautious.

Although she had given Eldest Princess Annie sufficient permissions, and theoretically her permissions could indeed bypass all defenses to reach her, for Eldest Princess Annie to appear so easily was a bit too convenient.

"I did see the guards, but surely the guards wouldn’t stop you yourself, right?" Eldest Princess Annie said, gesturing for Perfikot to look towards the door.

Perfikot sat up and looked towards the door, and immediately saw her own face.

This made her cover her face with her hand and lie back down: "How did you get her down? I remember setting her to handle affairs for me up there, along with dealing with emergencies."

"I told her I had urgent business to meet you, and she told me everything." Eldest Princess Annie said this with a hint of pride on her face, squinting at Perfikot: "The Autonomous Dolls are really useful, and your technology is indeed flawless, but machines are ultimately rigid. As long as I mentioned there was urgent business you needed to handle personally, they’d reveal your slacking off in hiding.

By the way, I said I couldn’t expose your whereabouts, and needed the stand-in doll to personally bring me to you. She then personally led me here, and even helped me get past the guards, without Beifa stopping her."

Upon hearing Eldest Princess Annie’s explanation, Perfikot couldn’t help but shake her head: "These guys, their logic is still too rigid. I’ll have to rebuild them all later!"

"This is why I’m against you using Autonomous Dolls to fully replace real people. They are indeed very useful, but compared to real people, getting around them isn’t that hard, is it?" Eldest Princess Annie said with a smile to Perfikot.

Perfikot didn’t have any special reaction to this, or rather she wasn’t surprised that Eldest Princess Annie could bypass the Autonomous Dolls’ logic determinations.

"You’re able to bypass them and make them follow your commands because I gave you enough permissions. They will prioritize what you say and command, and this priority is higher than the commands they are currently executing," Perfikot explained while also considering whether she should give Eldest Princess Annie slightly lower permissions next time, "I gave Aunt Annie this permission to ensure that you could find me during truly important matters, not to bypass my guards just to interrupt my rest.

If there is nothing important, I would like to continue my bath. Aunt Annie, you’re welcome to stay and join me for a bath, but if you wish to talk about work, please contact the stand-in doll over there; she is currently the Count of the Northern Territory."

With that, Perfikot turned around, back facing Eldest Princess Annie, closed her eyes again.

Hearing Perfikot’s words, Eldest Princess Annie shook her head helplessly and said, "I wanted to discuss the issue of the local Evil God Sect with you, but since you want to rest, we’ll talk about it after you’re rested; it’s not urgent at the moment."

After speaking, Eldest Princess Annie prepared to leave Perfikot’s bathroom.

However, upon hearing Eldest Princess Annie’s words, Perfikot unwillingly sat up, "Fine, fine! Everyone just wants to increase my workload! Go sit in the next room for a while; I’ll change clothes."

With that, Perfikot stood up from the bath.

——————————————

After taking off her bathrobe and changing into clean, refreshing, and simple attire, Perfikot came before Eldest Princess Annie, solemnly saying, "Aunt Annie, this is a very private place for me. Next time, if there’s nothing particularly important, please don’t come down here looking for me.

I’ve left a device in the upstairs office that can connect directly here; you can have the stand-in doll contact me next time.

I don’t want others to know about this place; you know how those people can disturb peace."

"I understand, it was presumptuous of me this time, and I apologize to you, little Perfikot." Eldest Princess Annie could see that Perfikot was a little upset, so she hurriedly apologized.

Perfikot didn’t mind, waved her hand, and after sitting down, asked, "So, what exactly is the matter? Isn’t the matter of the Empire’s local Evil God Sect being handled by the Church? Can’t their Judgement Court handle it?"

"Although the Church’s Judgement Court has been suppressing them, and Judge Shabelle’s work has been quite effective, I have to say that Langton’s issues are increasingly serious," Eldest Princess Annie shook her head, showing a troubled expression, "before you left Langton, we had already discovered problems with Evil God Sect activities in the lower city. Although some activities had been suppressed in time, their activities are now increasingly rampant and seem to be escalating.

Although Judge Shabelle currently oversees everything and is doing her best to control the scale of the Evil God Sect’s activities, according to the information I’ve received, the Evil God Sect’s forces in Langton are deeply rooted, and she may find it difficult to control the situation for some time."

"Uncontrollable situation? Two scenarios; one is that the Church finds it not worth exerting all efforts on this matter or wants the Empire to also contribute, or the Church is trying to gain more benefits by supporting these sects," Perfikot became serious when she heard Eldest Princess Annie mention serious matters, "and the second scenario is that they really can’t suppress them anymore; these sects have been around since the era of the gods. They’ve been dealing with the Church for so many years, and if they decide to overturn the tables, it’s normal for the Church to struggle to suppress them.

However, neither scenario needs to be worried about. I’ve already deployed the Godslaying Armor back to the mainland; it is enough to handle any potential issues at the moment."
