Treasure hunt begins in England

Chapter 766
The plane Liang En and the others took landed in Munich. Because the distance to their destination was only more than 150 kilometers, they simply rented a car and drove towards this small town in the south.

"It seems that there are quite a lot of tourists, and many of them are from China, so there are notices in Chinese in the room." After getting into the car and starting the car, Liang En said to Joan of Arc, who was obviously a little drowsy next to him. Interesting things I saw.

"After you fasten your seat belt, rest for a while. I will wake you up at that time. I think if there is no accident, we should reach our destination in more than an hour."

"Well, then I'll rest for a while—" After hearing what Liang En said, Joan buckled up her seat belt and nodded, then leaned back on the seat and narrowed her eyes.

The way she gets along with Liang En has always been quite natural, and there are not so many etiquettes or politeness. For example, now Joan feels that she is a little tired, which may affect the next action, and she will directly rest.

Compared with other countries in Europe, especially those in Eastern Europe, the driving experience in Germany is excellent, there are few cars, clear signs, most people obey the road rules, and most roads are not restricted except in cities and through towns. speed.

However, Liang En was a little unaccustomed to driving. After all, he felt that he drove to 120 on the expressway very quickly, so he always felt a little uncomfortable with the guys around him who drove their cars to 140 and 150.

Fortunately, the Route 96 road they used was relatively wide, so Liang En would not accidentally block the path of others, so finally after more than an hour, he saw a beautiful lake appearing in the embrace of mountains.

This is Lake Constance, the border lake of Germany, Austria and Switzerland. Because of its unique geographical location, it was a traffic artery in the Middle Ages. The coastal area is sunny and mild, rich in salmon and trout, and also a well-developed wine producing area.

And Liang En's target town, Lindao, is located on the north bank of the lake, and ancient Romans have lived here since the 2nd century AD.Lindau takes its name from Linden Au, meaning "a lakeside depression that thrives under the linden tree".

To this day, Lindau's city emblem is a luxuriant linden tree.For example, Liang En saw that old-style badge in the sign on the side of the road when he was driving into the town.

This city is the starting point of the "Alpine Road" in southern Germany. The old city part is actually a peninsula extending into the lake, connected to the mainland by a long railway embankment.In front of you is the blue waves of Lake Constance, against the backdrop of the majestic Alps.

The "Alpine Road" starting from Lindau, crosses the Bavarian Mountains from west to east, across the borders of Germany, Switzerland and Austria, until the highest peak in Germany, the Zugspitze, and the Königssee in Berchtesgaden.

The old city is connected to the land through a train embankment and a bridge built in 1853, and the remains of the Roman Empire in the 1st century AD have been found on the island where the port is located.

According to historical records in AD 882, Lord Adalbert of the Roman Empire once built a monastery on the island.

This is also a characteristic of Europe: many cities originated from a monastery and surrounding towns that provided various supplies for the monastery.

In fact, this is also an understandable thing. After all, in the whole of Europe in the Middle Ages, except for a few cities, there are only a few cities that can gather people, so it is not surprising that people gather to become a city.

In the Middle Ages, Lindau was an imperial free city under the rule of the Holy Roman Empire. It became a well-known trading city because it was located in a traffic artery.

From 1322 to 1824, passengers, goods and mails came and went here for more than 500 years. Among the passengers, there are many famous figures such as Goethe and Mozart.

"It feels like there are a lot of people here. Is there something wrong?" Joan of Arc woke up because she approached the urban area more often, and found that there were many banners in the city, which looked like some kind of event was being held.

"Because the Lindau Nobel Prize Conference is being held now." Liang En said after glancing at the German-language banners above, "Since 1951, Nobel Prize winners have regularly held forums in Lindau every year.

"During this time of year, Nobel laureates in medicine, chemistry, physics, and economics gather in Lindau to communicate with young students from all over the world."

"Ah, that sounds good." After hearing Liang En's words, Joan nodded. He and she always had enough kindness towards those learned people. "Maybe we can see those famous scholars."

"You should be able to see it. After all, this is a public event." Liang En looked at the room he had booked on the navigation and said. "Maybe we can meet such scholars when we eat."

Although it is said that Germany suffered large-scale strategic bombing in the two world wars, especially in World War II, because the city was located at the border site, it had little strategic value, so it successfully escaped those bombings.

After they settled their luggage in the hotel, they soon arrived at the target location and called Mr. Frey. While waiting for the other party to arrive, Liang En carefully inspected the building.

"This building should have been preserved from World War II to the present." After a brief inspection, Liang En said while looking at the three-story building with its locked gate.

On the whole, the location of this house is quite good. First of all, from the perspective of terrain, it is located on a small slope. Standing in front of the door, you can not only see the whole long street clearly.

Even the pier in the distance and the cruise ships parked on the pier can be seen at a glance.And when they just came here, they also saw a small garden behind the house, which seemed to be the kind that was often tidied up, which proved that this house had always been taken care of.

In addition to the good location, the house also looks very beautiful. The orange-red roof and white walls look very beautiful under the blue sky. There are two beautifully trimmed bonsai at the door.

After taking a selfie with Joan at the door, he quickly checked the surroundings, and saw a glass lamp made of various colored glass above the door. The embossed pattern can be seen approximately.

At the same time, the other rooms in this row are different. There is a beautifully carved marble balcony on the second floor of this room. From this point of view, the history of this room definitely has its unique side.

"Hello, Mr. Liang." Just as Liang En was carefully looking at the room, a car stopped beside him, and then Mr. Frey got out of the car accompanied by a middle-aged lady. "You guys came much sooner than I thought before."

"I rushed over as soon as I finished my work in the Middle East." Liang En smiled and said after shaking hands with this Mr. Frey and his daughter. "Is this the basement you were talking about?"

"Yes, here it is," said Mr. Frey, opening the door. "Before this house was rented to a youth hostel for a long time, and the contract didn't end until this winter."

"And after the contract ended, I planned to renovate this place for future vacations. After all, this place is a very good resort. As a result, during the renovation, I accidentally discovered a basement that I never knew before."
