Rebirth of India: Superior

The redemption of Mahalon's manor and castle also attracted the attention of local media. After the economic downturn in Spain, the auction of government assets has attracted much attention. Besides, this is the Duke's castle - there are not many nobles with the title of "Duke" in Spain, most of them are royal relatives. The price of 20 million euros is just a house in the wealthy area of ​​London, but the meaning of "returning the property to its original owner" is indescribable to the Aviles family.

But how to use it is another problem. Living in it is not very realistic. First of all, it is too empty, and hundreds of rooms are quiet; the conditions are not good, not to mention the Internet that young people cannot do without, even water and electricity are problems. These buildings are cultural relics, and the damage caused by drilling holes is very large. Besides, the government may not allow its original appearance to be changed.

In the end, everyone decided to keep it as it is for the time being, that is, to open it for commercial visits in small batches. Don Juan is very happy for everyone to understand the history and glory of the Aviles family. In addition, the Duke's reputation in the local area and Alfonso's popularity now, the government can make a leniency.

The castle can be modernized to a certain extent. That is to install some wires and water pipes that do not affect the appearance, and then transform the sewage facilities to make the inner court a more modern environment. They will not touch the outside and maintain the original majesty.

However, these have nothing to do with Cassi and Shakru, they are here to see the castle. The castle has a very long history. It was robbed by the second Duke of Osorno more than 300 years ago, and then it experienced the baptism of the Renaissance. The surface of the building is built with huge stones, with towering walls and huge domes, giving people a solid and heavy feeling.

Along the way, Cassi was full of interest and told the medieval stories she knew, such as knights and ladies, nobles and ladies, civilians and ladies, ladies and ladies... Mr. Miguel, who danced last night, also came along, so he drove them off.

Miguel is four years older than Shakru and is married. His wife Diana is a local woman who is gentle and kind to others, but due to language problems, she doesn't talk much and mostly listens with a smile. Miguel, on the other hand, talks a lot, and all kinds of allusions come at hand, which opened Cassandra's eyes.

Shakru said to Cassie: "He should inherit the title."

Miguel smiled: "Don't embarrass me. I have worked hard all my life but have never achieved what you have now, Mr. Pandit. Now there should be no man in the world who doesn't know you. Even if they don't know you, they know your Willgang."

"Is it so exaggerated?" Shakru smiled.

"You will know." Miguel, who was driving, looked up and looked ahead. "Look! The castle on the mountain belongs to the Duke of Osorno. More than a hundred years ago, the surrounding hundreds of thousands of acres of land belonged to the Duke's estate. Now there is not much left. Juan hopes to expand it back."

Shakru shook his head: "What's the use of so much land? Pay taxes every year?"

"Face and honor." Miguel said with a smile.

"And the Holy Light!" Cassie added.

"Holy Light?" Miguel and his wife were puzzled.

"Hehe!" Shakru touched her head, and then said jokingly: "You are so cute!"

This majestic castle is located on a mountain. The mountain is not high. Because of years of development, the top of the mountain is relatively flat. The castle faces a cliff several dozen meters high. There stands a majestic cylindrical watchtower in the city. When there was a war in ancient times, this was the guard tower. Drive up the mountain along the road and park in the parking lot built at the entrance of the castle. The castle is temporarily closed to traffic.

Shakru got off the car and looked up at the towering castle built on the edge of the cliff: "It's really spectacular!"

Cassie, who acted as a tour guide, said: "Look at those towering spires. Unlike the buildings used by the nobles, they were used for military purposes in the past. There are also city gates and two heavy gates. Under the feet are hollowed-out traps filled with spikes and can be filled with water. Look at both sides, there are still holes for shooting crossbows..."

This is a fortress that was mainly used for military purposes in the early stage. Although some buildings were flattened in the later stage and built into beautiful gardens and front yard pools, the majestic loess walls, the shooting holes on the walls, and the rusty turrets are all restoring the years of war.

The color is monotonous, and there is a defeated earth yellow everywhere, but it pays attention to the use of war everywhere. Going up along the wide stairs, the rooftop can take in the scenery on the three sides around, and the smooth stones under the feet confirm the prosperity of the past. Standing here to look at the world, open-minded

The castle covers a very large area of ​​millions of square meters, divided into several major parts. The outermost layer is the defense area, which was mostly built in the Middle Ages and was completely reserved for war. It is huge and empty, with only solemnity and no beauty. Its purpose is to be as strong as possible so that the enemy cannot attack at all.

Inside the defense circle, continue to walk in, the scenery of the castle's inner court has finally changed. Under layers of strict protection, it is a carefully protected world. The construction period is after the Renaissance, until modern times, the use of color and aesthetics has become rich, focusing on enjoyment.

Cassie explained to Shakru who was holding a camera to take pictures: "If the outside is a legacy of the war years, this is the symbol of the nobles turning to enjoyment after the Renaissance. The building is colorful and mainly used for living. The interior is very luxurious."

The architecture of the inner court reflects the Baroque style everywhere: jewels and gems. Purely handmade carpets are used on a large area, and the inner corridors use a lot of golden ivory white. Famous paintings are hung on the walls, and exquisite reliefs can be seen everywhere above the head. Sculptures are placed at intervals.

Shakru asked, "Can we take pictures inside? It feels no worse than the Palace of Versailles!"

"You say so many good things, how can I not give it to you?" Cassie said with a smile, "Just take pictures as you like, anyway, this little sparkle won't do anything to them."

"What a beautiful armor!" Shakru's eyes rested on an armor decoration in the corridor.

Cassie looked at it and explained: "This is not medieval, it is post-Renaissance armor. The role of knights in the Middle Ages has been weakened, and they are more inclined to aesthetics. They use a lot of plate armor and exquisite patterns. The knights at that time had declined and changed. For a group that focuses on benefits and enjoyment.”

"Can I touch it?" Shakru asked hesitantly.

"Of course, you can even try it on." Cassie said without mind.

"Really?" Shakru said in surprise.

Cassie shrugged and replied nonchalantly: "Miguel and I have played with everything before. We also fought with swords and shields, and then broke one."

"Your life is really interesting." Shakru said with a smile, touching the armor, and had a question: "But is it suitable? Is it too heavy?"
