After two years, Zhou Nan met Father Baffrenner again, he met him in Brussels two years ago, Zhou Nan only thought that he was a very ordinary old man, and he asked Yannick for help at the beginning, but now he has become a priest respected by everyone.

According to the Benedictine arrangement, Father Bvanrenner was a local man who was below two people and above a thousand. Engelberg has a special position in Switzerland, and the church has even more power than the government. So although Father Bvanrenner is only the "third-in-command" of a small local monastery, in this place, the power is not small at all.

Figuring out the positioning of this identity also made Yannick's heart a lot easier, and with such a person to help, Jonas's life will not be sad.

The four of them were arranged in a hotel attached to the monastery, and to Zhou Nan's surprise, in addition to their group, it was also full of foreign Jews. They were apparently stranded here to escape the persecution of the Nazis.

However, they were all people who had not obtained Swiss citizenship, that is, they had a little money to be able to stay in the monastery temporarily after paying a large sum of money.

After staying for two days, Zhou Nan also figured out that their situation was more dangerous, and if they ran out of money one day, they would probably be kicked out of the monastery, so most of them would choose a job and work in the monastery in exchange for food.

Work can only be exchanged for food, but accommodation still costs money, so it is impossible for the poor to stay here. It's just that everyone doesn't know when the war will end, and they are afraid of sitting and eating, so they exchange their work for food and want to stay longer.

Living next to Zhounan's room was a family of Jews from Austria who had been living in the monastery for four years. They came relatively early, and the housing prices at that time were not too high, because of a serious sense of crisis, they simply paid for ten years at once.

This Jew, Daniel, has been applying for naturalization from the Swiss government. Unfortunately, although he has some money, he is not particularly rich, and his family is too large, and he used to work in a more disgusting bank loan shark, and he has no special skills other than that, so his application has not been approved.

Now he is very desperate, and every day after work, he likes to drink a glass of inferior brandy to anesthetize himself.

Zhou Nan was also powerless to help his situation, and could only comfort him that the war might end soon.

But obviously, he didn't believe Zhou Nan's words at all, because the current Germany, except for the slightly weaker air force, is almost invincible in other theaters.

On the battlefield in North Africa, the Germans have already lost, and the British and American navies and air forces also have advantages, but the European continent is still the world of the Germans. Even if Zhou Nan now says that Germany will fail in two years, no one will believe it.

Zhou Nan does not think that there is anything to blame for the monastery's "way of making money", although they are servants of God, but they are also human beings, and if they are people, they will have selfishness, personal desires, hopes and demands, and it is already merit to use the status of the monastery to provide a safe environment for refugees and let them live.

Yannick took it for granted. If it weren't for the monastery, these Jews would have had to live in refugee camps. There is no food and clothing, there are no doctors, and if you get sick anywhere, the only end is death.

Zhou Nan had already obtained a Swiss naturalization permit, and if he wanted to settle in Engelberg, it would be almost a matter of course to have Father Baffrenner to help.

However, neither Yannick nor Zhou Nan wanted to settle in Engelberg because it was too small. This is their last retreat, in case they can't get their nationality elsewhere, they can finally settle here.

Despite its remoteness, Engelberg remained semi-independent when it joined Switzerland in 1798, and in 1815 it chose to join the smallest populous canton of Obwalden in the Swiss Confederation, which does not even border Engelberg.

The reason why they joined Obwalden was, on the one hand, that the population of Obwalden was small, and because most of the young people were working as mercenaries abroad, they earned more money and had a more developed economy at that time. Another reason is that Obwalden is one of the lowest tax cantons in Switzerland.

At this time, Yannick didn't expect Zhou Nan to be so successful in the future, and didn't care too much about the difference in tax rates. He wanted to make Zhou Nan closer to the city so that he could have more opportunities for development.

But I didn't expect that because of the difference in thoughts, I would have to pay a lot of taxes every year in the future.

However, Zhou Nan felt that it didn't matter, because he always believed that the gentleman's wealth was taken in a good way. After securing your own life, it is also natural to give back to society.

Therefore, he never regretted choosing to settle in Lucerne, which has higher taxes.

Father Bvanrenner was also very supportive of Yannick's decision, and he also believed that young people like Zhou Nan should be better off in the city.

After two days of hospitality and a tour of Engelberg, which is only forty square kilometres, on the third day of his arrival in Switzerland, Zhou Nan boarded a train to Lucerne with Audrey and Kelly.

This time to Lucerne, Yannick did not accompany him. Because of his German status, when applying for citizenship, not only will it not be helpful, but it will arouse the disgust of the Swiss, after all, Germany and Switzerland are still facing each other.

Father Bvanrenner also wrote a letter of guarantee for Zhou Nan, vouching for him in his own name.

The matter of settlement could not be settled, and there was no way to mention the purchase of property, so Yannick stayed in Engelberg and waited for news.

When he got into the car, John ignored Yannick's shouts, jumped into the car before the door closed, and wagged his tail with Zhou Nan flatteringly as soon as he got into the car. Zhou Nan had no choice but to let it go with him, anyway, it was more obedient than most dogs, and Zhou Nan didn't need to worry.

After two days in Engelberg, the mentality of the three of them is different from when they first arrived. The beautiful scenery around is less surprising at the beginning, and the appreciative attitude is much calmer.

What's more, without the threat of war and the sense of crisis of life, Zhou Nan is much more relaxed, and Audrey has a lot more smiles, and she is more and more attached to Zhou Nan.

At the beginning, she would be shy if she was a little intimate with Zhou Nan's movements, and even if she held Zhou Nan's arm, her body would keep a certain distance.

But now, she is used to holding Zhou Nan's arm tightly, although her body still has no heart-warming feeling, but being relied on by a girl so wholeheartedly still makes him enjoy it very much.

Sitting on the train, she doesn't huddle with the obese Kelly anymore, but likes to sit with Zhou Nan, and she will lean on him without taboo when she is sleepy.

Kelly is also very happy about the development of the relationship between the two of them, and in the future, the three of them will always live together, of course, I hope that the relationship between the two of them is better.

In a few years, if you have another baby, it will be more like a complete home.

From Lucerne train station, the Reuss River is headed north. The River Reuss divides Lucerne in half, with the Old Town to the north, where most of the monuments are located. To the south, there is mainly the New Town, where the railway stations and including the concert hall built for Lucerne are located.

In the middle of the river is Lucerne's most famous wooden bridge, the Kappel Bridge, which is full of flowers and is also the most famous scenic spot of Lucerne.

Located on the north bank of the River Reuss, the town hall has a Roman-style corridor that can also be used as a hawker's stall when it rains.

Zhou Nan was in another life, and later generations had been here. The town hall at that time has been moved to a new office location, which has been turned into an attraction. A few houses away is the Picasso Memorial Hall of the Rosengate family, which is also a very famous cultural attraction.

At this time, however, Picasso only came to Lucerne occasionally, and he did not leave many paintings here, and it was not until twenty years later that Picasso would create a large number of paintings in Lucerne.

The town hall has not been moved away and is still housed in this old house with a history of more than 200 years.

Although this is the town hall, there are no people coming and going, and in fact, there are not many people in this somewhat dimly lit old house, which makes the environment very eerie.

There were no guards, just an old man over sixty years old acting as a doorman. But from the few spears hanging from the guard's room, including a pistol at his waist, no one could ignore his deterrent.

After inquiring about Zhou Nan's intentions and looking at his naturalization papers, the old man opened the heavy wooden door from his room, and the wooden door made a tooth-aching squeak.

He closed the heavy door of the town hall again and said in a thick Swiss dialect: "Please come with me." ”

Zhou Nan and the others only understood what he meant, and followed the old man behind him to the creaking stairs. This time, the old man obviously remembered that Zhou Nan was a foreigner and explained it in standard German. "The first floor was requisitioned by a charitable organization, and now the offices are on the second floor."

Although the accent was relatively heavy, Zhou Nan understood this sentence, and asked along with his words: "Are there many refugees in Lucerne?" ”

"That's not much, this is inland, and the rooms on the first floor are piled up with clothes donated by people to refugees."

The environment inside this old house doesn't need a set to shoot a horror movie, Audrey was a little scared, and hugged Zhou Nan's arm tightly, sticking very tightly.

Zhou Nan also felt the outline of her chest for the first time, although it was still small, but the flexible touch made him extremely obsessed, and he even hoped that this road would be as far away as possible.

At the door of a room with an open door, the old man stood still, glanced at Zhou Nan and them, and knocked on the door that was knocking. "Mrs. Dineier, there is a Chinese, a Dutch, a German, but she has become a family to go through the naturalization procedures."

From the old man's eyes, coupled with his words, Zhou Nan felt that he didn't like them at all.
