For Perfikot, money is actually of little importance.
This is not an insincere excuse; to her, money truly has no meaning now.
Putting aside the fact that her various inventions could bring her astonishing wealth if she were willing to commercialize them, just by virtue of being the Northern Expedition Count, Perfikot could quickly acquire vast wealth that would allow her to live a life of luxury if she sold exploration documents.
This is not mere boasting; in fact, some have already, both overtly and covertly, expressed a willingness to pay a hefty sum to purchase a Pioneer Knight title from her.
After all, it is a hereditary noble title that can be passed down to descendants. Apart from Perfikot, only those who make outstanding contributions to the Empire each year can receive the rare honorary noble titles granted by the Royal Family, and these cannot be inherited.
New hereditary noble titles are exceedingly difficult to obtain in the current Victor Empire.
