Chapter 214: The Castle
After about three minutes, the carriage made a big turn to the right and went up an uphill mountain road, still lined with lush oak trees, and the mountain road circled around the mountain to the left, and the carriage made a slow upward spiral. After about 12 minutes of walking around the mountain, the carriage made a big turn to the left, and the huge gate of the castle's outer wall suddenly appeared in front of me, which was a huge stone arch about 10 meters high and about 6 meters wide.
As the carriage approached, the two large wooden doors in the gate slowly opened, and through the arches, the carriage came to a square of about 600 square meters, with a beautiful European-style garden.
In the middle of the garden is a lawn of about 200 square meters, and in the center of the lawn there is a group of bronze sculptures of horses, a total of 12 bronze horses, each horse is vigorous and handsome, with long manes flying, lifelike. Twelve bronze carved horses in different shapes, or stop and look up, or stroll leisurely, or raise their heads and neigh, or leap up, or four hooves soar into the air, together with the vibrant green lawn, constitute a vivid and vivid horse picture.
The square is surrounded by a city wall about 13 meters high, Xu Xincheng only saw the structure of the city wall at this moment, the city wall is made of countless gray-white stone bricks about 30 centimeters long and 10 centimeters high, from the inside, the whole castle is very Wei Wei solemn.
The carriage passed through the square garden and came to the gate of the castle, which is a typical Gothic stone arch, the castle arch is smaller than the large arch of the outer wall just now, about 7 meters high and about 4 meters wide, two vivid and delicate winged stone angels stand on the left and right sides of the gate frame respectively, two thick white wooden doors are carved with exquisite gold and bronze European patterns, the whole gate looks noble and solemn, very royal style.
Once again, Albert got out of the carriage himself, then respectfully held Lucy's left palm and invited Lucy to get out of the car. Xu Xincheng also got out of the car.
In front of the gate stood two male waiters in crisp black dresses, and when they saw the carriage stop in front of the door, they hurriedly came over to greet Lucy and Xu Xincheng, and then took the suitcase from the back of the carriage and followed the three.
Albert made a gesture of invitation to Lucy and Xu Xincheng, and then put his right hand behind his back, stretched out the palm of his left hand, supported Lucy's right palm and walked slowly step by step with her on the stone steps in front of the door, the two stepped up the steps to the door, Albert took two big steps forward, pushed the door open, and then turned half a body, stood on the right side of the door, left hand behind his back, made a gesture of invitation with his right hand, and said to Lucy respectfully: "Please!"
Lucy nodded slightly at Albert and said, "Thank you!" Albert.” Then he walked into the castle.
Xu Xincheng had been following Lucy, and when he came to the door, he also thanked Albert, who was by the door to invite him in, before entering.
Walking into the castle, Xu Xincheng felt like he had stepped into a scene from a classical European court movie.
The hall of the castle is very noble, the hall is about 12 meters high and 8 meters wide, and the corridor pavement of about 100 meters is paved with a golden carpet embroidered with exquisite European patterns. Unlike the exterior walls of the castle, the walls of the castle are white gold-plated wooden walls, and there are countless rectangular or square lattices made of European-style gold-plated wood lines, which are divided into several sizes and sizes, but all the lattices are arranged in a neat and orderly manner.
On the ground against the wall on both sides of the corridor stood two rows of armor fully armed by ancient European knights, each with a different shape and style, it should be the armor of different families from different countries at different times, these armors stood majestically by the wall, like guards guarding the castle. About 12 meters high, the white ceiling carved with the same European pattern as the castle gate hangs a bronze European chandelier, and the position of each chandelier and the position of the armored guards on the left and right sides is exactly in a straight line, which looks neat and orderly, solemn.
In the middle of each of the two sets of Armor Guards is a beautiful solid wood and glass display case, each containing an ancient book. On the wall above each glass display case, there are several large or small or rectangular or square European-style gold-framed landscape oil paintings or figure style oil paintings, and the light of the chandelier just hits the oil painting, and the scenery and figures in the oil painting are lifelike under the gorgeous lighting.
The three of them walked through the hall to the end of the hall corridor, entered a classical European-style golden elevator, and went up to the third floor. Albert instructed the waiter, who had been pulling Hsu Hsin-sung's suitcase, to take him to his guest room, while Albert personally led Lucy to her room.
Xu Xincheng entered his room, looked around, and was immediately taken aback. The room should be 150 square meters, and unlike the white gold-plated wooden wall in the hallway, the wall in the room is a gray flannel wall printed with beautiful European patterns, and on each wall there are several gold-framed landscape paintings, a gold-bronze European-style chandelier hangs in the middle of the white ceiling, and the dark gray carpet is also printed with European-style gold patterns.
On the right side of the room is a large leisure area, the most eye-catching in the leisure area is the European-style fireplace, the fireplace is made of pure white marble, with beautiful European patterns carved on it, and there is a set of white European-style sofas inlaid with gold patterns in front of the fireplace, and in the middle of the sofa is a white solid wood coffee table that is also inlaid with gold patterns, the fireplace, sofa, coffee table and carpet are integrated, which looks high-end and magnificent.
On the left side of the room is the lounge area, and the bed with ornate curtains is of course European-style, also carved with gold patterns, and the table lamp, wardrobe, and dresser in the room are all classic European style.
Xu Xincheng noticed that from the two wooden doors at the gate of the castle, to the ceiling at the top of the hall, the carpet in the corridor, the pattern in the European-style elevator, and then to the flannel wall, carpet, fireplace, sofa, bed and other furniture in the room, the same European pattern can be seen everywhere, if I guess correctly, this pattern should be the signature pattern of the Prince Anderson family.
There are eight arched windows on the wall facing the main door in the room, and the sunlight is slanted into the room through the windows.
Xu Xincheng walked to the window to see, immediately was shocked by the beautiful scenery in front of him, in front of him is a lake that can not see the edge at a glance, it is now evening, the dark blue sky like the ocean and the deep blue lake in front of him are perfectly harmoniously integrated, natural, calm as a mirror of the lake reflecting the white clouds in the sky, the oak forest by the lake is also reflected on the lake, the water and the sky are the same color, beautiful.
Looking at the beautiful scenery in front of him, Xu Xincheng sighed in his heart, it turned out that there are still such beautiful places and beautiful scenery in this world.
