Chapter 283: The Guests of the Castle
The Olympus region is covered in snow and ice all year round.
It is said that when the world was the same as the divine realm, the daily actions of the Olympian gods could be seen here, and whenever thunder and lightning flashed from the top of the mountain, it was the god-king Zeus who showed his majesty.
Of course, in addition to the most famous figure, there are many well-known gods, who travel between the human world and the divine realm, even the sea and the underworld, which are the places where they often move.
Throughout Europa's history, Mount Olympus is a monument that cannot be bypassed.
And according to various historical rumors, the gods of those years also left their blood in the world, creating generations of descendants of the gods, these descendants expanded their territories, formed small countries, and finally had the history of today's Europa countries.
Therefore, in the history of Europa, it is often preached that heroes have created history, which are two different development models that are completely different from the style of China.
If you just look at the natural environment, it's really beautiful.
The scenery in front of you can indeed make people feel that they will not want to leave, and they can't wait to find a house to live in here until they are old.
But in fact, there are many problems when it comes to living here.
If you don't have a private helicopter, you probably won't be able to enjoy a very comfortable life, after all, if you want to stay here, you will need a lot of supplies, as well as the necessities of life.
These things are disposable consumables, and without a stable replenishment channel, then no one will be able to enjoy a good mountain life here.
After Wang Yong expressed his willingness to stay here for a few days, Lord William Hess filmed his butler and drove over in a helicopter to invite Wang Yang to his manor to meet him.
The reason why the lord himself did not come was that, according to aristocratic tradition, the master needed to stay in the manor to prepare a sumptuous dinner in order to better entertain his distinguished guests.
In order to show respect for Wang Yin, the Nordic theater also sent a senior officer with two escorts as Wang Yin's entourage to Lord William Hess's manor as a guest.
About half an hour later, Wang Yi and the others saw Lord William Hess's estate.
"Sure enough, it's a manor, as far as the eye can see!"
Wang Yan looked down from the air, and immediately saw a large farm surrounded by the jungle.
The area of this farm is so large, almost more than 200 square kilometers, that it is hard to imagine that anyone can own such a large area of farm today.
After all, this is not some barren mountain range, no people, but a very fertile field, where a handful of soil can squeeze out milk and gold.
"It's all the lord's domain, and on the side of the mountain, there's also a part of his territory. ”
"On this land, there are more than 20 large farms, which continue to supply the entire Nordic region with high-quality necessities. ”
"The Lord's winery is also famous, having been around for more than four hundred years and continues to this day. ”
When introducing the situation to Wang Yan, the old housekeeper looked very proud.
"That's good!"
Wang Yan nodded in praise.
Lord William Hess's old butler, who can be said to be well-versed in aristocratic culture, is definitely an expert in this area.
Wang Yan had heard before that the aristocratic life here was indeed very traditional, and these housekeepers were also very professional, and without them, no nobleman could live.
After all, many things in the aristocratic circle have a long heritage, and ordinary people can't figure it out at all, even the nobles themselves can't learn so many things, so a competent butler is very important.
And to become a competent butler, it is not easy, they need to study in a specialized butler school, and then obtain the qualifications to be able to enter the real aristocratic family work.
This circle is actually very small, but a good housekeeper will accompany a certain noble family for life, unless something happens to the family and can no longer maintain the original way of life, the housekeeper will leave them.
If this is not the case, then it is very likely that he will not be able to fill such a position, and he can only go to other aristocratic families to seek a job position through introduction.
All in all, a good housekeeper can be met but not sought, and a good aristocratic family is also rare in a hundred years.
In the introduction of the old butler, time flies quickly.
They quickly flew to the tarmac below and then left the helicopter one after another.
From here to the main building of the manor, there is still a distance of about two kilometers, this road is full of flowers, birds and flowers, green trees, there are already electric convertibles waiting for a long time on the opposite side.
So, Wang Yan and the others got into the car, and then slowly marched all the way to the manor villa.
Along the way, they saw many mills, watermills, vineyards, flower beds and even bunkers with the characteristics of the medieval era, which had a very classical atmosphere.
Soon, the car in which Wang Yi and others were riding came to Lord William Hess's manor villa.
As soon as the car stopped, I saw a group of people coming up.
Among them was none other than Lord William Hess, the twenty-third owner of the estate.
In fact, by now, the Earth Federation has been unified, and there is no such class as aristocrats, but according to the living habits of different regions, these traditional hereditary nobles can still retain their traditional titles, which can be regarded as a kind of commemoration of the past.
Of course, in terms of political status, laws, regulations, and policies, they are no different from ordinary people.
This is naturally theoretical, but in practice, the locals still have a lot of respect for these traditional nobles, and this is probably also a matter of tradition.
In fact, the area is dominated by tourism, and the noble estates are clearly a good gimmick.
Everyone can see the special commercial value implied in this, so they are invariably promoting this matter, after all, it is very beneficial to everyone, and there is no reason to oppose it.
"Welcome, distinguished guests!"
"Mr. Wang Yi, the number one master of the Federation, is here, and the humble house is shining!"
Lord William Hess was a very enthusiastic tycoon.
Especially in the face of a super master like Wang Yin, everyone behaved very enthusiastically, which simply made Wang Yang feel at home.
What made Wang Yi feel a little curious was that this Lord William Hess, who spoke fluent Huaxia and didn't stumble at all, had obviously been immersed in it for many years, otherwise, it would never be possible to speak so smoothly.
"The Lord is gracious. ”
"Wang came here more suddenly, but it was a little disturbing. ”
Wang Yan arched his hand and said politely.
"Mr. Wang is too modest. ”
"With your current status, it is the supreme honor of being able to come to the humble house. ”
"Inside please, inside please. ”
Lord William Hess smiled and invited Wang Yan into the hall.
Wang Yan entered the hall of the villa and took a look at the surrounding environment, but he felt that it was not as pompous as what he saw outside.
According to Lord William Hess, this castle-like building has experienced more than 400 years of ups and downs, although it is very famous, but limited to the government's requirements that it is not allowed to change its main structure, or even to change the surface landscape, as the owner of the villa, Lord William Hess has no way to give it a better transformation, and can only carry out limited protective repairs.
"Historical value aside, this castle is certainly not as comfortable as a hotel when it comes to ease of use. ”
"But if you want to experience the aristocratic style of living in the Middle Ages, it's a good choice, and in fact there are at least three of these castle-like buildings within a hundred kilometers of us, all of which are genuine. ”
Lord William Hess gave Wang Yang a general knowledge of the castle, and then introduced him to the famous castle buildings around it.
Obviously, Mr. Lord is quite satisfied with the castle he inherited.
Wang Yan didn't have much opinion on this, in fact, he was quite interested in such a medieval-style castle.
If he was before, he would definitely not have had any chance to get the invitation of the master's family to visit, but at this time, he could not only come and see casually, but also received the warm hospitality of the villa owner, and the all-round aristocratic family service.
But what he was more concerned about was that Lord William Hess had invited him for the purpose of not just eating, right?
Sure enough, after a little bit of rambling, Mr. Lord finally brought the topic back on track.
"Mr. Wang Yi, are you interested in visiting my private collection room?"
Lord William Hess sent an invitation to Wang Yi.
"Of course I would, if it's convenient. ”
Wang Yi nodded, in fact, he also wanted to see what this Nordic rich man wanted to do?
If there is no complete reason, I believe that he will definitely not make such a big effort to invite Wang Yan over.
"Thank you, Mr. Wang, for your face. ”
"Please follow me. ”
Lord William Hess smiled and asked Wang Yi to join him in visiting his private collection.
He didn't bring any retinue, which was obviously a more intimate affair.
Wang Yan looked at the officers who came with him, and shook his head at them, signaling that they didn't have to follow him.
It's just a visit to a private collection, and there's really no need to make such a fuss.
"Inside please. ”
Lord William Hess led him through several rooms to a large painted door.
With a gentle push of his hand, he opened the oil painting door, which seemed to be integrated with the wall, without the slightest clue at all, and then made an inviting gesture towards Wang Yi.
