Chapter 237: The Knowledgeable Old Earl
"It's okay, but there are some things I don't understand."
It's normal to not understand, after all, you don't even know English yet, and if you achieve karma, that's a rare thing.
After having breakfast with little Lori, Joseph decided to go to Edinburgh for a stroll, and when he came to Scotland, he couldn't ignore some of the landlords here!
Edinburgh was a small gathering place for the Scottish aristocracy, and some nobles who did not like to live in manor castles would buy villas in Edinburgh or the suburbs of Edinburgh. Glasgow? It was a more modern city, much worse than the aristocracy's love of Edinburgh, although economically Edinburgh was not as good as Glasgow.
An Audi A5 carried Joseph to Edinburgh, and the two guards were enough to ensure Joseph's safety.
The scenery on the country road is very good, the only bad thing is that it is easy to encounter some unexpected things on the way, such as now......
A car accident is not very tragic but it is a car accident that blocks the road.
A Ferrari driven by a young driver collided with a heavy truck driven by a man in his forties full of goods, and the results speak for themselves......
Of course, it is more appropriate to say that it is not a collision but to press it over, and it is not tragic to mean that the tire of the heavy truck drove through the passenger ≠, and the driver was more than frightened but there was no major problem.
Joseph didn't care how things turned out, but this led to the idea that Joseph would no longer ride in similar vehicles, so Nord began to develop his own off-road vehicle series.
Edinburgh, the capital of Scotland and the famous ancient city of the United Kingdom, has given birth to many masters, and you can see some traces of ancient buildings from the 6th century everywhere.
Edinburgh Library
He came here because he wanted to give Li Xiaoxi a book, an out-of-print book that he had seen but could never find again, and he wanted to try his luck at the Edinburgh Library, a novel about some witch magic stories in the Middle Ages.
Joseph, who was followed by two black-clad bodyguards, was not ordinary. But if they let them leave and come to the library alone, Joseph will be just an ordinary, good-looking student.
Nineteen-year-old is in his youth, no matter what his identity, at this age, without a background and no guards, he is still easy to blend into the social environment and become a very ordinary one.
Along the bookshelf of the novel, Joseph searched for the past little by little, and he could ask the guards to help him buy it, but some things only seemed sincere if he did it himself, right?
Touch~
It's soft......
It feels like it's just an instant. A faint fragrance wafted away, and when I looked up, a beautiful blonde woman was sitting on the ground with a frown, and it was obvious that Joseph had just bumped into her.
"I'm sorry!"
"Shouldn't you have lifted me up first?"
The beauty was not angry, but she complained a little about Joseph not helping her up in time, after all, she was standing here reading and was suddenly knocked down, and no one would have greeted her with a smile.
Lift each other up. At this time, Joseph realized that she actually had delicate skin that was not available in the West, and Kate was already good, but it was still worse than her.
Although Gao Jingxuan and Li Xiaohan have good skin, they are far inferior to the one in front of them in terms of fairness. It's a pity that it's winter now, and the white cotton textile cotton coat can only vaguely highlight the girl's figure, and the light white skinny jeans and brown pony boots make her beautiful legs at a glance.
"Oops, it's too late."
Life is just a quick glimpse. As it is now, in an instant...... The beautiful woman disappeared into the doorway, taking with her the interest of Joseph in finding the book.
Thankfully, there was a manager to help. In the end, Joseph still helped Li Xiaoxi prepare a gift, and the moment he went out, Joseph suddenly remembered that there seemed to be something similar to an identity nameplate on the chest of the beautiful woman just now. It's a pity that I didn't look closely...... Why do I think that? Joseph shook his head and smiled bitterly.
Joseph's first visit was an old earl, who was only in 1975 when he accepted the title, but by this time he was in his eighties, and he was a respectable and knowledgeable old man.
The old man's life was not good, and in the high-end apartment on the side of Meier Boulevard, there was a living room of about 150 square meters owned by him.
No manor, no castle, no noble? No, if it were a simple connection, maybe he could be in the top 10 in Scotland, and he could also be in the top 10 in terms of wealth.
In that case, why do you still live in an apartment? Joseph also asked Alan about the location of his house when he learned of it, to which Allen's old butler replied:
"His life's fortune and the legacy he received are used in the scientific industry, and Edinburgh has more than a dozen awards in excess of 10,000 pounds a year, one of which belongs to him, and is awarded to those who have made outstanding contributions to the medical education space."
This is a person to be honored and must visit, and knowing his story Joseph has decided to do so.
Downstairs in the apartment, Joseph asked two guards to stop, and although they were unwilling but did not dare to disobey Joseph's order, they could only stay downstairs and wait.
Room 02, looking at the somewhat dilapidated door Joseph tapped.
Crunch, the old earl is not guarded, and there is no need to have it, his daily life is only a few pounds, and the rest is not withdrawn as a reward in the fund.
"You are?"
The old man, who was already very thin, glanced at Joseph with reading glasses, and felt unfamiliar, so he asked.
"Mr. Dalton, I am the heir ......"
"King Nord, Joseph. Ragnar. ”
Joseph was not surprised that the other party was able to tell his identity in one word, even though he now lived in this small apartment, he was still one of the most influential people in Scotland's old earl, and there was no reason why his identity was not clear to the other party.
"Come in!"
Maybe it was because of old age, he stumbled a little, but Joseph did not step forward to help, and at this time the dignity of an old man, he could not break it rashly.
Really...... He was very satisfied with Joseph's indifference, and after sitting down, he poured a cup of tea for Joseph himself.
Taking this opportunity to observe some of the old earl's rooms, there was no mess as expected, and Joseph's first impression was that there were flowers and grass in the apartment, as well as a bird and a cat, and the leisurely wooden chairs and fine porcelain, which were perhaps the real valuable things in the room.
But believe...... No thief would have taken these tables, chairs, and porcelain into his eyes when he came here, and all they had to do was the scarce few pounds of paper.
"I think your arrival may be just the purest visit, very rare."
After taking the tea sent by the old earl, it was really British tea, although there was a unique fragrance, but Joseph still liked the clouds and mist of the East, even if it was a big red robe, he didn't particularly like it.
"There's a lot of your story out there."
"I know a lot of your stories, too."
"It's rude to treat an old man like that, though I don't care."
The two looked at each other and couldn't help but smile, they both like to talk like this, I won't rely on the old and sell the old, and you don't want to say what King Nord is.
Through the gap, Joseph saw the computer in the bedroom, so he couldn't help asking, "The old earl also uses a computer?" ”
"Occasionally playing a dozen games, it's a revolution."
Joseph knew what he was referring to, so he nodded approvingly: "Yes, this is indeed a revolution. ”
"You seem to have a lot of confidence, so can you tell me what the revolution will look like in the future?"
"Everyone stays at home, and there will be robots that carry what you order from it to your home."
"It's a bit sci-fi."
"But it's a real fact."
"If I could, I would love to see that day."
Death had always been a taboo word, at least for the elderly, so Joseph did not answer.
"I don't have a wife, I don't have children, I don't have an inheritance, but I still have some influence, and if there is a need, I will do my best to help."
"I am King Nord, and I have an army with billions of euros and hundreds of thousands of dollars, and if you need it, you can open your mouth."
Some-for-tat, but at the same time, there are some sympathy for each other, even if they are two people with an age difference of more than 60 years, but they are like friends who have forgotten each other's old age, talking about the past and the present and talking about each other's opinions.
Two hours later, Joseph walked out of the apartment, a little different from when he went up, but the guard couldn't tell what was different.
No one knew that a few hours after Joseph left, the old count went to bed, the real end of his life, and died smiling, leaving with a picture of the world for decades to come.
On the outskirts of Edinburgh, looking at the horse farm in front of him, Joseph asked his guard a little strangely: "This is the Fleming family's estate?" ”
"If the map given by Butler Alan is correct, then this is indeed the Fleming family's estate."
It was a horse-loving Marquis Fleming, the only thought on Joseph's mind at this time.
There were special receptionists at the racecourse, and when they learned that Joseph was the Earl of Aberdeen and wanted to meet the Marquis Fleming, a look of sadness flashed across their faces.
"I'm sorry Lord Earl, Lord Marquis just left for London the day before, if you wish, I can inform the Marquise......"
"No, I'm just here to visit, since I'm not here, so be it!"
……
"The look is wrong, find someone to investigate, if it's their family's private matter, don't tell me, if there are other reasons, notify me as soon as possible."
Joseph was worried that some Scottish nobles deliberately targeted Li Xiaohan, after all, Li Xiaohan held a completely different position from them in some land interests. Of course, he understands that such an unlikelihood is very small. (To be continued......)
