Chapter 52: The Ancestors of the Pit Descendants

The English countryside, with a certain unique temperament, expresses all the nobility and eternity of this country. Some children of hereditary nobles spent almost their childhood in their country estates or castles. The Windsor family, represented by the King of NV, is a typical English rural aristocracy.

"The real British are the countrymen, it is true, the richer and more powerful, the more traditionally educated the British, the more proud they will be of it. ”

On Sunday morning, in the car to Dunsford Village, Arthur and Emilia in the back seat of the car could only shake their heads and smile as they listened to Paul, the butler who was driving the car, make them look at each other.

Dunsford Village, 6.5 kilometers from Boleyn Manor, is a typical old English countryside with green fields in spring, summer, autumn and winter.

The quaint town and countryside are like a set of paradise landscape oil paintings. As far as the eye can see, there is a shade of greenery. The secluded town of Dunsford is like an emerald sprinkled by God on the world, crystal clear and shining.

"Lord, the church has arrived. ”

The car drove along the town's stone road for about three minutes, stopping in front of a Tudor-style church, and the butler Paul stopped the car and turned back to Arthur in the back seat.

"Well, go down and have a look. Arthur nodded and said, and said to Amilia, who was wearing a white shirt over a gray and blue baseball uniform, a pair of white tight pencil pants, and a pair of high heels: "This church was built by the Boleyn family, let's take a look." ”

"Good. Emilia smiled sweetly and nodded, after the baptism, she seemed to look more beautiful, showing the demeanor of a "woman".

The three of them got out of the car and looked at the centuries-old church in front of them, which had been repaired several times, and they could still see the old appearance. The architecture is very old, the flowers bloom in the garden in front of the door, and the scent of earth and plants wafts through the air.

"This is the first time I've been to this church... Arthur looked at Emilia and explained with a smile.

Emilia looked slightly stunned, but she didn't ask curiously, because she saw an embarrassed look on Paul's face, an elegant and calm butler, and only sighed: "It makes people feel calm and solemn." ”

"Lord, Miss Emilia, pleaseβ€”"

Paul, the butler, smiled and stretched out his hand to invite.

Arthur took Amilia's hand and walked into the main entrance of the church together, as if knowing that Arthur was coming, an old priest of the church was standing at the door with a smile on his face and waiting.

Paul, the butler who had been following Arthur half a body behind, took two quick steps, and with the same smile on his face, he stepped forward to shake hands with the old priest, and then hugged him gently.

"Earl, this is Father Stephen, the priest of this parish. Paul the butler introduced Arthur, and then turned to Reverend Stephen, "This is Arthur Boleyn, the contemporary Earl of Boleyn... ”

"Hello, Father, I'm Arthur Boleyn, and it's a pleasure to meet you. Arthur reached out and shook hands with the other party very solemnly.

"Hello, Count, it's a pleasure to be there, Count, your presence is really a big surprise and a great significance, this isβ€”" The smile on Pastor Stephen's face was very bright, his hair was thinning, and the crown of his Mediterranean head was bright in the sun.

"Thanks, this is my girlfriend, Amilia. Arthur smiled and introduced, although the British were reluctant to be asked for their name for the first time they met or to introduce themselves by name, but in the face of a clergyman, this was not a problem.

"Hello, beautiful young lady, nice to meet you. ”

"Hello, Father ... ”

After a brief introduction and greetings, Father Stephen led the three Arthurs on a tour of the country church that the Boleyn family had built.

β€œγ€‚γ€‚γ€‚ In the nine years since the beginning of this century, about 25 percent of Britons have admitted that they are not religious, and this proportion is still growing. Fewer and fewer people are coming to church. ”

Father Stephen walked while talking about the current situation of the church in a helpless tone, hearing the song and knowing the elegance, Arthur naturally heard the priest's deep feelings, there are fewer people who come to the church, which means that there are fewer people who donate, what does this mean when he meows to him this? Some suspiciously looked at the butler Paul with an indifferent face, and the housekeeper Paul looked at Arthur, blinked his eyes lightly, shook his head slightly, and showed that he didn't care.

Arthur raised his eyebrows, no longer caring, but listened to the priest's chatter with a smile on his face, and did not answer at all, but nodded with great interest from time to time.

"Earl, this is the coffin of Thomas Boleyn, the 13th Earl of Boleyn, and his wife. ”

Walking into the memorial hall of the church, the butler Paul introduced Arthur to the two giant sarcophagi side by side, with a human figure carved on the top: "This church was built at the expense of Count Thomas, who was in the era of the Invincible Armada, and every time Count Thomas went to sea, he would bring back a large number of gold and silver jewels, and legend has it that the countess's hair was full of jewels, but later, these jewels were missing... ”

Arthur's eyes lit up, and he immediately thought of the word 'treasure', but the butler Paul seemed to have guessed his thoughts, and said with a smile: "In 1865, the contemporary Earl Baldwin was in debt of 700,000 pounds and fled to France... ”

didn't say anything, this sentence, woke up Arthur's treasure dream, Arthur couldn't help laughing and shaking his head, complaining that he wanted money and wanted to go crazy, after all, his generation is 30 generations, if there is really a treasure, it has been dug out early, where is it your turn, sure enough, there are not only the sons of the pit father, but also the ancestors of the pit descendants!

The disappointed Arthur had no interest in listening to the priest's chatter, and now that the church had little to do with the Boleyn family, it was probably too much to get money out of him, a contemporary earl.

So, under the priest's disappointed gaze, Arthur sat in the car with Emilia with a smile on her face, and Paul, the butler, started the car without hesitation and drove away from the church.

"Gurgle... ”

As soon as she left the church area, Emilia in the carriage couldn't hold back her laughter, looking at Emilia who was skinned up and her appearance collapsed, Arthur couldn't help but pull the corners of his mouth, and said with a smile: "Honey, please be serious, your smile is simply too magical!"

"Nasty!" Emilia slapped Arthur angrily, but she didn't hear Arthur complain about her smiling face, and after restraining her smile a little, she said, "That priest is so interesting, I almost grabbed you and asked you to donate." ”

Arthur also shook his head and smiled, and Paul, the butler who was driving, also looked at the two people in the rearview mirror with a smile and said, "Earl, do you want to go to the old mansion to have a look?"

"Forget it, let's go straight to the event venue. Arthur had no interest in continuing to shop, and looked at the image of the butler Paul in the rearview mirror and asked with some reluctance: "In the family history, there are no treasure records or maps or anything?"

"Hehe, yes, when your father was alive, he also had this idea, rummaged through all the family notes, and really found some sketches of hidden treasures from the notes, but he didn't even dig a single gold coin, and finally gave up. Paul, the butler, said with a smile.

The smile on Arthur's face froze completely, and before he could ask again, the butler Paul stabbed again: "Actually, Count Thomas also left a treasure map, but you should be able to imagine that no one will let go of this kind of treasure map, so I will talk about Count Baldwin, and your father called Count Baldwin the biggest bad guy in the history of the Boleyn family... ”

Arthur fully understood what the butler Paul said, telling him that even if there was a treasure map, it should have been dug up by his ancestors a long time ago, and Baldwin, who made the Boleyn family almost bankrupt, was undoubtedly the most powerful bastard who caused the Boleyn family to decline.
