Starting My Treasure Hunting In England

The two-week exchange activity ended quickly. The participants were very satisfied with the exchange process. At least most of them thought that this exchange had brought them a lot of gains.

Especially for many people, Liang En's alchemy demonstration was definitely an unexpected big gain for them, giving them an opportunity to fully understand ancient Egyptian language and ancient alchemy.

According to Liang En's knowledge, almost everyone asked for a copy of the film and television materials that Liang En had taken during his previous alchemy demonstration, and tried to translate the Latin into their native languages.

Yes, in theory, occult researchers will basically master Latin, but the requirements for researchers here are not low. They are basically professional scholars or people who have mastered this level of knowledge.

Therefore, for many occult researchers, who they call enthusiasts, they need some materials in their own mother tongue to continue their research.

However, these tasks basically had nothing to do with Liang En. Just when the party was announced to be over, he left the manor with the two ladies, and then took a plane to Naples to prepare to accept his castle.

Of course, in addition to Elizabeth and Mary, Joan of Arc will also come from France this time. After all, this kind of opportunity for everyone to travel together is not common, and even when filming Joan of Arc, there is a holiday.

"Liang En——" While he was drinking hot chocolate and waiting in the airport departure hall, Liang En suddenly heard a girl's shout not far away.

"Jeanne." After hearing the voice, Liang En immediately put down the cup and stood up, then hugged the girl who rushed over. "How are you?"

"Everything went well in terms of shooting. At least for me, almost all the shots were done in one go, so our progress was about 1/3 faster than expected." Joan of Arc rubbed her face against Liang En's chest. Said later.

"It's a pity that you are not around all the time. Even if you can video chat with me for a while every day, I really still miss you."

Joan of Arc's character has always been straightforward, so she is not shy about expressing her feelings directly. So at this time, she directly expressed her thoughts.

"I miss you a little too." Liang En hugged Joan and said seriously, then took her hand and walked outside the terminal hall. "Let's go now, the car is already parked at the door."

"Ah, what a perfect love." As Liang En and the others walked outside, Bathory whispered to Mary beside him, "Thinking about my previous husband, I now feel a little envious of Jeanne. "

"You're pretty good. At least you can have some feelings. It's not like me because of political reasons. I basically have no feelings except responsibilities and obligations." Queen Mary also sighed at this time.

For these two ladies, their marriages can hardly be called happy, so after seeing the interaction between Liang En and Joan of Arc, they naturally fell in love with each other and inevitably exchanged a few words.

In ancient marriages, feelings undoubtedly played a secondary role, and as social status improves, the status of feelings in the reasons for marriage will continue to decrease.

Taking Liang En's three historical followers as an example, there were marriages based on feelings in the civilian class where Joan of Arc belonged, but the marriage between the two ladies from noble backgrounds was purely political.

In a political marriage, two people can indeed live a good life. For example, this is the case for Elizabeth Bathory and her husband. As the two people live together, they gradually develop a family relationship.

But there were also those who had a very bad life, such as Marie and Louis XVI. After giving birth to an heir to the throne, they lived their own lives.

Of course, Louis 16 was much better emotionally than his predecessors. At least he did not find a lot of mistresses for himself like his two predecessors, but was obsessed with making locks.

Of course, the reason why he chose this approach that seemed to give up treatment was also very simple, that is, the French economy at that time was already in deep trouble, so Louis 16 could only live day by day without being able to do anything about it.

While everyone was chatting, they quickly arrived at the parking lot near the airport. After handing over to the driver of the car rental company, they took the SUV and drove towards the nearby mountainous area.

The terrain here is somewhat like that of northern Scotland, and the terrain looks decidedly rugged. But the vegetation on the mountain is obviously much denser, and more importantly, the local infrastructure, especially the road transportation system, is much better than imagined.

Unlike the sparsely populated north of Scotland, as a historic region in the Mediterranean, northern Italy has always been densely populated, especially around ancient cities like Naples.

So even if you drive into the mountains, you can still see villages appearing one after another at regular intervals on the roadside, as well as cattle, sheep and vineyards appearing on the hillsides.

Obviously, mountainous areas with rugged terrain like this are not very suitable for growing food crops such as wheat, so the local area mainly focuses on growing grapes and grazing.

Of course, the era of pure agriculture has passed, so now these people's main income basically depends on tourism. Fortunately, as the area surrounding the famous tourist city of Naples, there are enough tourists here to support the tourism industry.

Unfortunately, the small lake where Liang En's castle is located is too far into the mountains, so they basically cannot enjoy many benefits from the tourism industry.

More than two hours later, as they followed the road around a ridge, a deep blue lake appeared in front of them.

The most eye-catching thing is a small island in the middle of the lake. Liang En's castle is located on this small island, but although it is a small island, it looks more like a mountain peak submerged in the water.

In other words, the entire lake was formed by melting glaciers during the Ice Age. The so-called island in the lake was actually a mountain peak located in the center of the depression. It only became the current island after the surrounding area was filled with water.

There are several villages around the lake, and there are also some simple facilities to accommodate backpackers or family travelers. When they parked their cars and came to the lake, the people who had stayed at the castle had already driven a speedboat to pick them up. .

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Liang and the three ladies." When Liang En and the others walked onto the trestle, the middle-aged Italian man immediately greeted them and shook hands with Liang En.

"Vice President John has already explained it to me. Next, I will complete the handover work with you and introduce you to this very historical castle."

After five minutes of water travel, they docked at the island's pier, and then walked up a mountain road toward the castle located at the highest point of the island.

It has to be said that this castle, which was once a military fortress, even the supporting facilities always follow military principles. For example, this dock is hidden in a mountain col. It is not only hidden but also easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Unfortunately, with the passage of time, the military role of this castle gradually disappeared, and the dock became one of the biggest obstacles to the development of the castle because it was too small and basically unable to expand.

After all, this harbor can only accommodate five or six 78-meter boats at most, so from a purely transportation perspective, this pier is too small.
