For the next three days, Liang spent almost 24 hours with Isabella in addition to transporting goods, and in addition to relaxing in the castle hotel, he also went to Edinburgh to participate in an auction.

The auction was for some of the castles in the Edinburgh area, and for Isabella, who now runs the castle inn, it was important to buy some of the castle to expand her business.

Although they have only been running the contracted hotel for a short time, they have already started to make a profit, especially since the old building repair company that they established is very popular for its excellent value for money.

Combined with other previous industries and the supplies that Liang brought back from the ancient world, Isabella now has more than 60 million pounds of working capital in her hands that can be used to purchase the castle.

Contrary to what many people think, not every castle in Europe is astronomical, and three or four million pounds can buy a magnificent castle that is well maintained, with a dozen bedrooms and hundreds of acres of land.

If it is some poorly maintained or remote castle, then it is not impossible to have hundreds of thousands or even tens of thousands of pounds, and there are even extreme cases of 1 euro a castle.

But buying these castles is definitely not a cheap way to buy, because these castles are often behind the high maintenance costs, and worse, the maintenance costs of some historical buildings are obligatory, and it is illegal not to maintain them.

So Liang En and the others photographed three ancient castles in the United Kingdom for a total of more than 8 million pounds, and basically no one competed with them, which allowed them to take a big advantage.

As for the follow-up repairs, it was not difficult for Liang En at all: with the help of supernatural powers, the cost of these repairs was only one thousandth of what it would normally be, and the rest was purely profit for Liang En.

Because of the tight schedule, Liang En only went to the castle closest to the auction venue, which was the largest and oldest of the castles.

Upon entering the arsenal and tearoom on the first floor of the castle, Liang knew he had come to the right place: there were more than two hundred flintlock pistols on the walls, the same number of spears, and more than a hundred sets of swords and shields.

It's just that because of the long time and the lack of maintenance, these weapons all have obvious rust, and they look no different from scrap metal, so they are ignored.

According to the representative of the original landlord, a member of the Castle Conservation Foundation, Liang En and the others could have discarded the weapons that had been turned into scrap metal after confirming the ownership of the land.

After all, the law protects the castle itself, and these weapons are imitations made by a certain owner of the castle in the fifties of the twentieth century to flaunt his identity, and they are not cultural relics attached to the castle.

"The owners of the castle who took office bought the castle and appreciated it, but because of the castle itself, the interval not only did not rise, but depreciated." The manager glanced at the leak in the ceiling and said,

"Because they're an investment, they've barely been to the castle a few times, so the overall environment of the castle isn't very good right now, especially some parts that don't belong to the castle—"

Compared to stone walls or solid beams, similar to wallpaper, furniture or plaster reliefs, these parts are beautiful, but they are also more fragile and therefore more easily destroyed if not properly maintained.

In particular, the armory on the first floor was completely destroyed by the cracking of the lead plate joints in the roof, causing water to seep down.

"Thanks to poor maintenance, we were able to buy the castle, less than 30 kilometres from Glasgow, with more than 20 bedrooms on three floors and more than 600 acres of land, for just £2 million."

Isabella told Liang En through a soul connection at this time that under normal circumstances, the castle would have cost five to seven times what they were paying now, and at the same time, it had high taxes.

But now because of the damage to the castle, not only the price has been reduced, but the official has also promised that as long as Liang En and them repair the castle, then the corresponding tax will be reduced during the normal repair period.

"There's going to be a high-end hotel here." After communicating with Liang En, Isabella said, "The location and the scale of the castle are very good, and it is very suitable for opening a hotel. ”

"Especially Liang En, you have a very good reputation, which is conducive to helping the hotel attract guests."

"As for the maintenance and hotel manpower, there is no problem, although the castle looks a little bad, but it is not fundamentally damaged, and it is easy to repair, and we can complete the preparatory work and open in half a year at most."

"Then I wish you all the best." After listening to Isabella's words, the staff member wished her best from the bottom of her heart, after all, it was a very bad thing for them to keep changing owners of the castle.

"Let's go! Start! After the staff left, Isabella quickly checked the surroundings to make sure there was no one and said to Liang En while helping him remove the weapons from the wall.

When all the weapons that had been placed on the shelves on the wall were removed, they realized that there were still some heavy weapons in the house—six cannons cast in bronze.

The materials used, the materials and the casting of these guns were very sophisticated, and unlike the small arms that had been rusted and destroyed on the outside, these one-pound guns looked ready for battle.

"The guns have been carefully maintained." Liang En, who walked to the artillery, reached out and gently stroked the artillery, and immediately realized the biggest difference between this cannon and those small arms.

"Because they're works of art, each piece is never less valuable." Isabella pointed to the relief on the outside of the cannon and said, "The muskets and spears are mass-produced, and each of these cannons is carefully cast. ”

"It's a bonus." Liang En nodded, and then put the cannon into his own space.

After looking at the artillery, Isabella took off the weapons one by one and placed them in front of Liang. Liang En also took out pieces of steel ingots, and then launched alchemy to carry out large-scale repairs to those weapons on the field.

As Liang En's eyes moved, the ingots softened as quickly as butter in the summer sun, and finally turned into a puddle of silvery-black liquid suspended in midair.

In the next second, Liang En reached out to the weapons that Isabella had placed. As he raised his arm, the metal-turned liquid spun around in a swirl, then dispersed into countless droplets that flew towards the weapons.

The metal droplets of the weapons that came into contact with them quickly submerged into the weapons, and the weapons that were originally covered in rust gradually revealed their original appearance from the point of contact after touching the metal.

The original rust is erased and the defects are replaced. If someone is able to see through the metal, they will find that the tiny cracks and bubbles that are invisible to the naked eye are also compensated.

Even some of the unobservable flaws of the weapons themselves have been improved, so that what could only be considered an upper-middle level weapon is now a sophisticated weapon.

Compared with remanufacturing weapons, transforming old weapons is a more valuable thing, at least it can ensure that there is enough historical accumulation in the weapons, which is more conducive to promoting the strength of the military array and has a stronger resistance to the extraordinary.
