Treasure hunt begins in England

Chapter 827 Travel to Italy

The two-week exchange activity came to an end soon, and the participants were very satisfied with the exchange process. At least most of them believed that this exchange had brought them a lot of gains.

Especially for many people, Liang En's alchemy demonstration was definitely a great surprise for them, giving them a chance to fully understand ancient Egyptian 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 the alchemy demonstration, and tried to translate Latin into their native languages.

That's right, theoretically speaking, occult researchers will basically master Latin, but the requirements for the so-called researchers here are not low, and they are basically professional scholars or people who have mastered this level of knowledge.

Therefore, for many occult researchers who are called amateurs, they need some materials produced in their native language to continue their research.

However, these tasks basically had nothing to do with Liang En. When the party was announced to be over, he left the manor with the two ladies, and then flew to Naples to accept his castle.

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

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

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

"Everything went well in the shooting. At least for me, almost all the shots can be done in one shot, so our progress is about 1/3 faster than expected." Joan rubbed her face on Liang En's chest said later.

"It's a pity that you haven't been around all the time. Even if you can video chat with me for a while every day, I still miss you a little bit."

Joan'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 waiting hall. "Let's go now, the car is already parked at the door."

"Ah, what a perfect love." Just as Liang En and the others walked outside, Bathory whispered to Mary beside him, "Thinking about my former husband, I'm a little envious of Jeanne now. "

"You're not bad. At least you can have a little affection. It's not like I'm purely for political reasons. Apart from responsibilities and obligations, I basically have no affection at all." Queen Mary also sighed at this time.

For these two ladies, their marriage can hardly be called a happy one, so after seeing the interaction between Liang En and Joan of Arc, they are naturally touched by the scene, and they inevitably exchange a few words.

In ancient marriages, affection undoubtedly played a secondary role, and with the improvement of social status, the position of affection in the reasons for marriage will continue to decrease.

Taking Liang En's three historical entourages as an example, Joan of Arc's civilian class had marriages based on feelings, but the two ladies from noble backgrounds were purely political marriages.

In a political marriage, there are indeed two people who can live a decent life. For example, Elizabeth Bathory and her husband are like this, and a family relationship gradually developed between the two of them living together.

But there are also very bad ones, such as Mary and Louis XVI, who lived their own lives after giving birth to the heir to the throne.

Of course, in terms of emotions, Louis 16 is much better than his predecessors, at least he didn't 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 is also very simple, that is, the French economy at that time was already hard to recover, so Louis 16 could only live one day at a time when there was nothing he could do.

While everyone was chatting, they quickly came to the parking lot near the airport, and after handing over to the driver of the car rental company, they took the SUV and drove towards the nearby mountains.

The terrain here is a bit like northern Scotland, and the terrain looks obviously rough.But the vegetation on the mountain is much denser, and more importantly, the local infrastructure, especially the road traffic system, is much better than expected.

Unlike the sparsely populated northern part of Scotland, as a region with a long history in the Mediterranean region, the northern part of 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 one after another appearing at intervals along the road, as well as the cattle, sheep and vineyards that appear on the hillside.

Obviously, such a rugged mountainous area is not suitable for growing food crops like wheat, so the local area mainly grows grapes and grazing.

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

It's a pity that the small lake where Liang En's castle is located is too far into the mountains, so that they basically don't enjoy much 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 even though it is a small island, it looks more like a mountain submerged in the water.

In other words, the entire lake is the Ice Age, formed by melting glaciers, and the so-called island in the lake is actually just a mountain peak in the center of this depression, but it became the current island after the surrounding area was filled with water.

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

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

"Vice President John has already explained to me, and then I will complete the handover with you and introduce you to this very historic castle."

After a 5-minute water trip, they landed on the pier on the island, and then walked up a mountain road towards the castle at the highest point of the island.

It has to be said that this castle, which used to be an army fortress, always follows military principles even in its supporting facilities. For example, this pier is hidden in a mountain depression, which is not only hidden but also easy to defend and difficult to attack.

It is a pity that with the passage of time, after the military role of this castle gradually disappeared, the pier became one of the biggest obstacles to the development of the castle because of its small size and the fact that it was basically unable to expand.

After all, this harbor can only hold five or six small boats of seven or eight meters at most, so the pier is too small from the perspective of transportation.
