The Lion Castle is located on a hill southwest of Porvoo, higher than the Eurian inn and covers a vast area, with pine forests that are said to have grown for hundreds of years. It was once the fief of a Finnish nobleman who lost a gamble to Lord John's ancestors, who then built the Lion Castle here. Zhou Yi actually didn't understand why the British and French worshipped lions, from King Arthur to Napoleon, and even the castles of small nobles were named after lions.

Walking along the long wooden path through the forest, Xiao Ye had already released the little squirrel he had caught back into the wild, and now his attention was on the various mushrooms in the mountain forest.

Porvoo is a well-known mushroom production area, no matter winter or summer, there will be colorful and beautiful mushrooms on the mountain, and Finland, like many Nordic countries, advocates 'everyone's rights', regardless of skin color, regardless of nationality, anyone can pick mushrooms here as they like, in order to avoid poisoning incidents, mushroom experts will hang all kinds of poisonous mushroom identification methods and patterns in areas rich in mushrooms, Zhou Yi They even got a free brochure when they were in the hotel.

The women are very interested, not only the small leaves, but even the catkins and Bai Bingbing also accompanied her out of the wooden road, picking back a lot of mushrooms, it just snowed the day before yesterday, and some mushrooms still have unmelted ice and snow, shiny and shiny like handicrafts, Zhou Yi probably calculated, the mushrooms picked by the three girls were four or five catties, which were enough to eat a meal, and they were about to praise them with a smile. Suddenly, I heard a familiar voice say, "Wow, that's a lot of mushrooms." I'm going to pick some too, Henry. Are you going to go?"

"Henry?"

Zhou Yi was slightly stunned, turned his head to look, and saw that on the wooden road behind, a richly dressed man Shi Shiran walked over, followed by two strong men who looked like bodyguards, and there were sexy girls snuggled next to him. The girl's familiar face and graceful body were none other than Emma of the Ongian Ray Casino. Zhou Yi still has a deep impression of this woman, remembering when he and Henry first arrived at the casino. This French beauty wants to hook up with herself, or it doesn't mean to hook up, but she is used to smoking, and a casual eye wave and a shake of her waist will make men misunderstand.

"Zhou, are you going to the Lion Castle too?" Oh, I'm sorry, I'm in a bit of a hurry, I have to go first."

Henry's face changed slightly, and he pulled Emma who was about to pick mushrooms. Dry laughter passed by Zhou Yi twice, but Emma's eyes flowed, smiled sweetly at Zhou Yi, and then grabbed Henry's arm and shook his waist.

Sure enough, this stunner was still dealt with by Henry, although it was not unrelated to his painstaking arrangement, Zhou Yi was actually a little disappointed, shook his head and said, "Let's go too." ”

"Brother Zhou. Is this your friend?"

"It's my second brother-in-law"

"Huh?"

Tang Bao and Liu Ke are both shrewd people, usually joking and joking, but they know what to ask, what to hide in their hearts forever, they exchanged a look with each other, and they all stopped talking, Liu Wu opened his mouth several times, but he was still embarrassed to ask, and the group walked to the top of the mountain in silence, only Xiao Yezi chirped and boasted about his mushrooms, which were much more beautiful than Aunt Bai's

Walking through the last pine forest, the eyes suddenly opened up, and even Tang Bao, a well-informed young man, was amazed and amazed by the British's generosity.

Rows of pines and cypresses line up on the yellowed meadows, a 200-meter-long boulevard leads to the towering castle, and the Finnish marble wall encloses the entire castle, like a small town built on the top of a hill.

In front of the castle, there is no parking lot that is common in modern society, and the bodyguards wearing white gloves and black suits are like gentlemen, patrolling the surroundings, and there are special people who are responsible for picking up and dropping off guests, driving small passenger trams, on call at any time in the manor.

Bai Bingbing's old professor Maozi is an authentic Englishman, although his appearance is informal, in this environment, he naturally puts on a gentleman's style, politely handed over the card, and exchanged a few words with a bodyguard head person, as if he was introducing Zhou Yi and a few of them, the bodyguard head looked at Zhou Yi and Tang Bao a few times, his eyes lingered on Liu Wu and Bai Bingbing for a while, picked up the walkie-talkie and said a few words, and finally nodded, waved his hand and called two battery cars over, and drove Zhou Yi and them to the castle respectively.

According to Professor Adam, the collectors invited to come this time are basically famous people in the art world, about dozens of people, and most of the attention is on John's famous paintings, and they are not too interested in some of John's collection of Chinese cultural relics, such as seven-star lamps, porcelain and Chinese paintings, and Zhou Yi and they should not meet too strong competitors.

This makes Zhou Yi a little strange, I don't understand how Henry, a declining 'artist', got in, but it's hard to say, after all, he is also a 'painter' and now a billionaire, it should be easy to get an admission ticket, aren't he and Tang Bao also stained with Professor Adam's light?

The castles in Northern Europe are generally built according to the manor, which is the center of the manor, and the same is true of the lion castle, compared to some famous castles that are protected by the state and owned, the scale is actually not large, but despite this, the scale is also more than a dozen 'small buildings', and the manor covers a large area, sitting on the battery car, it also takes nearly ten minutes to come to the entrance of the castle.

This is a plant manor, there are no food crops growing, all the varieties planted are some evergreen varieties in all seasons, and some shrub evergreen plants can't even be named by Zhou Yi, the master planter, and are pruned into regular shapes, like a maze. The battery car is driving inside, there are green walls everywhere, left and right to make people dizzy, such a design is not only unique, but also has a certain security role, if there are stupid thieves entering, even without those security guards to help, just this plant maze can make them dizzy, trapped in it. Tang Baoer seems to like this design very much, and has been watching carefully all the way, maybe she is planning to make a plant gossip array in the 'Ancient Garden'?

After entering the castle, they did not see Henry and Emma, and as soon as some of the collectors and Zhou Yi who were also invited arrived, a smiling butler-like figure in a tuxedo arranged for them to enter the room to rest. Zhou Yi can be regarded as an eye-opener, look at the aristocratic style of others, from housekeepers to maids, all of them are top-notch appearances, the etiquette is fine to the angle of bowing, the depth of the laugh lines, there are rules and methods in the arrangement, they think of what the guests think, and they still think of what the guests don't expect.

For example, Xiaoyezi, because she is still young, the housekeeper arranged a children's sun room, and the specially renovated room is only two meters six or seven high, which will not make her feel afraid because it is too empty, and specially arranged for catkins to be in the suite next to her, and she can come directly when she opens the door.

Another example is Adam and Bai Bingbing, both majoring in Western painting, and their rooms are hung with representative works of Western painting, although they are all fakes, the painting level is master, and in the six-meter-high room, the entire wall is full of books and materials related to Western painting

Tang Bao's identity Professor Adam only mentioned it roughly, but soon a room suitable for him appeared, there was actually a talking starling in the room, the fish tank was a rare and precious fish species, and even the set of cups used for drinking water were imitation Yuan blue and white, and there was even a snuff bottle, in fact, Tang Bao didn't use the snuff bottle, but when he picked it up, it was still a genuine and famous product, and it was a good thing that was difficult to touch in Kyoto, China.

One person has a big room, and people are clearly showing that there are many houses. Liu Ke and Zhang Zhao's room is very suitable for the appetite of the two, not to mention, Zhou Yi's room is similar to Tang Bao's, in addition, under his special request, the bookshelves on the entire two walls are stuffed with books and materials on Chinese and Western paintings and various cultural relics identification, these bookshelves are as high as six meters, you need to stand on a ladder to get the upper books, needless to say, how much information is needless to say, Zhou Yi even found bamboo slips with vertical typesetting in seal script and Western literature written with a quill pen, fortunately, most of them are in English and French, he can understand.

Calligraphy, painting and literature are not separated, a snow opened a painting sub-profession, Zhou Yi, who was originally not interested in calligraphy and painting, is now full of interest, because when he painted the 'flying snow picture', he felt an unprecedented happiness, joy, and satisfaction, which was more than smoking ~ cigarettes.

Interest is the best teacher, Zhou Yi looked at the shelves full of books and felt very. Speaking of which, this is also the reason for the system, the life professions in the system, such as cooking, once opened, the knowledge related to it will come one after another, although not to mention the ability to master the world's recipes, the amount of knowledge is also extremely considerable.

can be higher than the profession of life, similar to piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, Zhou Yi can only master a few related skills, and the knowledge and experience closely related to it, the system does not provide it, but let him learn and master it. Zhou Yi, who is accustomed to 'getting something for nothing', now tastes a kind of fun of learning and enjoys it

"Zhou, I'm taking the liberty to disturb you, this time, I need your help"

Zhou Yizheng was standing on the ladder and opened a popular book of "Four Hundred Years of Western Painting", and read it with relish, when Professor Bai Bingbing's old Maozi suddenly pushed the door and walked in, looking so hurried that he forgot to knock on the door.

"Oh, Professor Adam, have you found the fruit of the Garden of Eden?"

Although he has only been in contact for one day, Zhou Yi has changed his opinion of Adam, this person is actually not an old ~ ghost, but he is fascinated by the study of Westernization, which makes it difficult for ordinary people to accept, especially if they don't know him. He is fifty-three years old this year, and he is still an old virgin~ man, this is what Bai Bingbing secretly told Zhou Yi.

This is a painting idiot, for this kind of person who is obsessed with learning, Zhou Yi will give enough respect, so not only was he not annoyed, but he made a joke on him
