Latest website: Chapter 3181 The Delusional Berbers

Oudaya Castle is an ancient castle complex located east of Rabat's old city, at the mouth of the Bregreg River, and on the edge of the Atlantic Ocean.

This famous castle has a history of 800 years. It was built by the Berber dynasty in the 12th century and was later used by the Arab dynasty. It was also occupied by the Portuguese and the French in history.

As part of Rabat's historical and cultural monuments, Oudaya Castle has been included in the United Nations World Cultural Heritage List and is a must-see place when traveling to Rabat.

As for the Udaya Fort that has been preserved to this day, its open area is divided into three parts.

The first is the garden in the castle, which was built by King Ismaili in the seventeenth century. It is small and exquisite, elegant and exquisite, with luxuriant flowers and trees, and has the typical style of Andalusian garden architecture.

The second is the castle museum, which is divided into two exhibition rooms. One exhibits jewelry and musical instruments from past dynasties, and the other displays national costumes from past dynasties, including Berber, Sahrawi, Moroccan Jewish costumes, and ancient red copper and earthenware vessels.

The third is the castle's high-altitude platform, which is a relic of the ancient aerial market.

Standing on this high-altitude platform, you can overlook the estuary of the Bregreg River, the ancient port of Rabat and the panoramic view of the ancient city of Sale.

In Udaya Fort, there are still a large number of Berber houses and streets preserved, which are unique in style.

Next to the castle, there is a row of buildings near the sea. It was originally a Portuguese military prison. After France occupied Morocco, it was converted into a restaurant and remains open to this day.

The place where Ye Tian and the others ate was this prison-turned-restaurant.

After drinking and eating, they just came out of the restaurant and were ready to visit the Udaya Castle not far away.

As soon as they appeared, the media reporters who had heard about it rushed up.

These media reporters were stopped as usual and could only ask questions at the top of their lungs outside the cordon.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Steven, I am a reporter from the Washington Post. According to the latest news, the director of the Spanish National Intelligence Agency and many senior officials were just taken away by the Spanish Ministry of Interior military police for investigation. What do you think of this matter? "

"Hello, Mr. Steven, according to Spanish media reports, all members of a special agent team of the Spanish Intelligence Agency in Morocco were killed last night, including Garcia and the others. Does this matter have anything to do with you?"

Upon hearing these questions, Ye Tian immediately stopped.

He glanced at the media reporters, then smiled and said loudly:

"Good afternoon, friends from the media, thank you for your attention. I have just learned about the things you just mentioned and haven't had time to analyze them yet.

I welcome the Spanish government's response. The kidnapping incident last night was of a very heinous nature and someone needs to be held responsible. I hope that others can learn from it.

As for those people who are responsible for this, I believe there will be an answer soon. Just wait patiently. At the same time, I also call on the Spanish government to face the victims’ claims for compensation.

What you said about the killing of the Spanish secret service team has nothing to do with us. After rescuing the kidnapped employees last night, we returned to the hotel, and many people can testify.

Okay, gentlemen, that’s the end of the questions. Next we are going to visit Udaya Castle. The weather is very good today. I wish everyone a good day.”

After saying that, he waved to the media reporters, and then walked out with Yahya and the others towards the Udaya Castle not far away.

The media reporters kept asking questions loudly, but received no response.

They tried to follow up for follow-up reporting, but were stopped by the Moroccan police in charge of security.

The other ordinary tourists who were watching the excitement followed without anyone stopping them.

After a while, Ye Tian and the others arrived at the entrance of Udaya Castle, so they stopped and began to admire this ancient castle.

Like the city of Rabat, although Udayah Castle is an ancient Arab-style castle, the color and influence of Western culture can be seen everywhere.

For example, the main building of the castle is in Arabic style, but the crenellations on the city wall are in Spanish Andalusian style.

This is related to the historical occupation by the Portuguese and French, and also to the proximity to Spain.

"Mr. Steven, Udaya Castle was built by the Berber Dynasty in the twelfth century. It is an ancient castle with a very long history and is also one of the United Nations World Cultural Heritage..."

The person in charge of the scenic spot said, introducing the situation of Udaya Castle to everyone.

While talking, everyone passed through the Arab-style castle gate and walked into this ancient castle.

During this process, Ye Tian secretly turned on the perspective and quickly looked through the castle gate.

Unfortunately, he found nothing.

All that appeared in the field of vision were large rocks, some arrowheads and bullet slugs deeply embedded in the gaps in the city wall, and nothing else.

However, it can be seen from the large number of arrows and bullet warheads that as a military fortress that must be fought over by military strategists, Udaya Castle has witnessed many wars and bloody battles in history.

After entering the castle, the scenery in front of everyone immediately changed.

This is an ancient fortress of blue and white, a green island hanging alone on a promontory. It looks more like a beautiful garden than a military fortress.

Here, the khaki Arab city walls surround the blue and white Berber villages. The moment you step into the city gate, everyone even has the illusion that they have entered a world full of Aegean Sea style in southern Europe.

This illusion of traveling through time and space makes people feel the magic brought about by the blending of history and culture.

Inside the city gate, on the right is a lush castle garden, a Spanish Andalusian-style garden, with very beautiful scenery.

There is a wide stone staircase next to the garden, and up the steps is the Udaya Castle Museum.

After entering the door and walking straight up the stairs, you will enter a small village that retains Berber dwellings and streets.

The houses in this village are scattered and unique.

Especially the blue and white tones give people a feeling of blue sea and blue sky.

Although Udaya Castle has a long history, nearly 3,000 Berbers still live in this village today, maintaining traditional living habits.

Passing through this Berber village located within the castle grounds, you reach an elevated platform by the sea.

In ancient times, it was also a flying market.

Standing on the high-altitude platform, you can overlook the vast Atlantic Ocean, and you can also see the panoramic view of the estuary of the Bregreg River, the ancient port of Rabat and the ancient city of Sale.

Ye Tian and the others who entered the castle were attracted by the beautiful scenery in front of them and stood there to admire it.

“The inside of Udaya Castle is really unique and the scenery is beautiful. It’s worth a visit.”

Ye Tian said with emotion.

The others also nodded, obviously feeling the same way.

At the same time, the person in charge of the Udaya Castle Scenic Area was also introducing the situation here to everyone, with a bit of pride in his words.

After introducing the general situation, he asked:

"Gentlemen, where do you want to visit first? Every place in Udaya Castle will make you linger!"

Ye Tian looked at this confident guy, and then pointed to the museum on the steps on the right.

"Time is limited, let's go to the museum first, and then go to other places after that, so as not to spend too long in other places and miss the museum in the end."

“That’s right, now that you’re here, you can’t miss the Udaya Castle Museum.”

Professor Paul agreed, and the others nodded.

After determining the goal, everyone climbed up the stairs and walked towards the museum located at the highest point of the castle.

After a while, Ye Tian and the others had entered the Udaya Castle Museum.

The museum is small, with only two exhibition halls.

Part of it was renovated from the original guardhouse, and the other part was built later. However, the architectural style is consistent with the overall style of the castle and does not appear to be out of place.

The items displayed in this museum include jewelry and musical instruments from past dynasties, Moroccan national costumes, and some ancient bronzes and pottery unearthed in Morocco, etc., which are somewhat unique.

After entering the museum, everyone began to visit the various exhibits displayed here under the leadership of the guide.

While visiting, Ye Tian secretly turned on the perspective again and quickly looked through the place.

Unfortunately, he still didn't find anything. He only saw some rusty arrows and traces of countless wars.

This situation is completely normal and not surprising at all.

Unlike the ruins of Shela where ancient Roman treasures were discovered, Udaya Castle has always been inhabited by people since it was built until now.

Moreover, this castle has been occupied by many different forces in history, and has changed hands countless times.

Every time it changes hands, it's accompanied by a thorough search.

Coupled with the transformation of the Moroccan government and the Berbers who have lived here for generations.

No matter what secrets or treasures are hidden here, people have long discovered them after seven or eight hundred years, and it is difficult for anyone to slip through the net.

The situation at the ruins of Shela is different.

Since it is a ruin, it means that it has been uninhabited for a long time. After all, no one wants to live in a cemetery.

It was only in recent decades that it was developed into a tourist attraction and then became a world cultural heritage.

Because of this, the ancient Roman treasures hidden deep underground in the ruins of Shela can be preserved to this day.

Although he didn't find anything, Ye Tian was not without gains at the Udaya Castle Museum.

While exploring through perspective, he also secretly absorbed some spiritual energy attached to the antique cultural relics and made a small addition.

After quickly looking through the entire museum and confirming that there were no hidden secrets or treasures, he withdrew his gaze and concentrated on the tour.

The other tourists who were also visiting the museum looked at their group and Ye Tian curiously.

Many of them are secretly looking forward to a miracle happening.

But unfortunately, the miracle did not happen.

After visiting the museum for about an hour, Ye Tian and the others just left.

Afterwards, they went to the nearby castle garden and continued their tour.

This is a Spanish Andalusian-style garden, which has the characteristics of Gothic and Moorish art, and also combines Arabic culture and Western culture. It is very unique.

The garden is lush with lush vegetation and the scenery is very beautiful.

There are many tourists visiting the garden, there are also many Berbers living in the castle, and cats can be seen everywhere.

It is unknown whether these cats are domesticated or stray cats.

As soon as Ye Tian and the others entered this beautiful garden, they attracted the attention of almost everyone here.

Many people raised their cameras or mobile phones to take pictures of them and followed them, trying to witness the miracle.

Some vendors and Berber teenagers selling tourist souvenirs tried to get close to Ye Tian and others, but they were stopped by Moroccan security personnel serving as perimeter guards and were not allowed to approach.

There are also many old Berber people in the garden.

They were either sitting on stone benches or benches, teasing the cats at hand, laughing and chatting, very leisurely.

Not long after entering the garden, Ye Tian and the others were admiring a sculpture when a strange voice suddenly came from beside them.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Steven, I wonder if you have discovered anything in Udaya Castle? Are there any hidden treasures here? Just like the ancient Roman treasures you found in the ruins of Shela."

Upon hearing this, Ye Tian immediately turned his head to look at the place where the sound came from.

Everyone else did the same and turned their heads to look over.

The person who asked these questions was an old Berber man in his sixties or seventies, who looked like he should be a resident of the castle.

He and several other old people were sitting not far away, looking curiously.

Ye Tianchong nodded to the old Berbers, and then said with a smile:

"Good afternoon, gentlemen, nice to meet you all. The scenery of Udaya Castle is very beautiful. It is a real pleasure to live in this ancient castle."

Several old Berbers nodded, with a bit of pride in their eyes.

Out of politeness, they were polite.

“We have lived here for generations, and we have long been accustomed to the beautiful scenery that tourists find beautiful.”

Ye Tian nodded and continued:

“We came to Udaya Castle this time to visit, not to explore treasures. Of course, if we can make surprising discoveries, that would be great too.

But unfortunately, I haven't made any surprising discoveries since entering Udaya Castle. Maybe I will find something in the next time, maybe.

However, this possibility is not high. Udaya Castle has been inhabited since ancient times and has changed hands several times. If there are any treasures, it is difficult to survive until now."

Hearing this, everyone at the scene nodded.

The eyes of the old Berbers flashed with disappointment. This was obviously not the answer they wanted to hear.

At this moment, a young Berber man next to him suddenly said:

"The various forces that once occupied Udaya Castle might have buried gold and silver treasures that could not be taken away before they were defeated by their opponents and evacuated here? This possibility seems not small."

Ye Tian looked at this guy, then smiled and nodded.

"This possibility does exist. As the losing side of the war, it is indeed a very smart approach to bury the treasures that cannot be taken away and wait for the opportunity to retrieve them later.

But it depends on whether the latecomers can find these buried treasures. If they can't find it, then it's all in vain. As far as I'm concerned, at least I haven't found it yet.

Another question, if I find a treasure here, how should I distribute it? Should it be split 50/50 with the Moroccan government, or should the Berbers living here be included? "

"Our ancestors have lived here for generations, and the treasures buried here belong to us of course."

The young Berber man continued speaking confidently.

Ye Tian then spread his hands helplessly.

"That's the problem. Before all parties reach an agreement, even if I find something here, I won't tell it. That's just asking for trouble!

If we follow industry rules, we will take away at least half of the treasures. Will you agree? How should it be divided between you Berbers and the Moroccan government? "

The senior Moroccan officials and Berbers present, as well as the many tourists watching the excitement, were all dumbfounded.

Immediately afterwards, everyone's eyes started to shine again.

Could it be that Steven, a lucky guy, really discovered some treasure? Is it just because I was worried about the distribution of the treasure that I didn't say anything?

This is impossible, right? How can a person's luck be so good?

How long had it been since he entered Udaya Castle? I haven’t been to many places in total, and now I discovered an unknown treasure? That’s incredible!

Thinking of this, people immediately looked around and towards the museum not far away!

In their eyes, the places Ye Tian had just visited suddenly became very suspicious, and there seemed to be treasures buried in them!

Looking at Ye Tian again, he was looking at the stone statue in front of him again, admiring it intently.

But deep in his eyes, there was a hint of smile and a bit of helplessness.

Inside Udaya Castle, he really discovered something.

But because of the presence of these Berbers in the castle, he could only keep these discoveries in his heart for the time being, and wait until he had time to negotiate with the Moroccan government and the Berbers.

The Moroccan government should be easy to deal with, but the Berbers are notoriously difficult!
