Reborn As Super Heir Chapter 1454 - 1438: European Castle

Chapter 1454: Chapter 1438: European Castle

As soon as she got off the car, Huo Sining saw the towering ancient castle standing before her. Compared to this grand residence, the estates and villas she had seen before paled in comparison.

However, before coming here, Huo Sining had done so research and found out that in England, castles are practically everywhere.

The continuous wars between England and Scotland, combined with its long-standing monarchic system, have resulted in the island of Great Britain being dotted with nurous castles of varying sizes.

Although the number of these castles is not as vast as the churches in England, the rich history and unique aesthetic contained within them are unparalleled by churches.

One could say that castles are a striking landscape of England.

ntioning English castles inevitably leads one’s thoughts to England’s vampire culture, since the birthplace of vampires is precisely these ancient European castles.

When the legend of vampires first erged, the rumor spread quickly like it had taken root, and within a short period, thousands upon thousands of people in Europe, especially in England, believed in the legend and were extrely afraid of the fall of darkness.

They believed that in this world, there exists an ancient and mysterious race of vampires who live by drinking human blood and can live eternally.

Even today, so still believe that these vampires reside in the old castles of England and claim that the dukes living in these castles are vampires who have lived for thousands of years. Many vampire enthusiasts even stay in old castles converted into hotels to experience the exciting and mysterious vampire culture.

However, like the courtyards of the Imperial Capital in Huaxia Country, many of England’s well-preserved old castles have long been abandoned.

Due to the large area occupied by castles, maintenance becos extrely difficult, leading many owners to abandon them, with so even selling their ownership outright.

Thus, Huo Sining often sees news published dostically about wealthy individuals or tycoons spending tens of millions of US Dollars to purchase castles in England.

Of course, similar to the handling by the Huaxia Governnt, many English castles had their ownership reverted to the English royal family after the 20th century, and are now managed by specialized foundations for protection and restoration.

A small number remain private, but to pay the hefty inheritance taxes, the heirs of these titles chose to open the castles to visitors from around the world, showcasing their collections to raise funds for the maintenance and restoration of the castles.

In England, only truly super-rich individuals can afford to live in these historic ancient castles, spending enormous sums each year on maintenance.

Clearly, Albert Adrian is one of those super-rich individuals.

Huo Sining had seen photos of English castles in magazines, but seeing this private contract of the Albert family up close gave her a sensation completely different from seeing it through photos in books.

However, Huo Sining did not act like a country bumpkin, yelling with excitent upon seeing the castle. Her heart was deeply shocked, and her eyes also flashed with astonishnt, but she quickly controlled her emotions. She was very aware of her purpose here, and as long as she thought about the ancient history of Huaxia Country preserved in this castle, she couldn’t simply enjoy it like a tourist.

This composed deanor of Huo Sining appeared sowhat different in the eyes of the old butler. Seeing this Oriental lady’s calm expression, a hint of admiration unconsciously appeared in the butler’s eyes. It seed that Mr. Adrian had invited a well-mannered lady for the visit.

The poor old butler was still unaware that he had warmly opened the castle doors and invited inside what looked like an angelic girl, who was actually a notorious thief. She had committed a major cri in Dongdu, stealing over four thousand Huaxia artifacts from the National Museum.

If he had known, the old butler certainly wouldn’t be smiling now, as his gesture of opening the door and bowing to welco guests was clearly inviting a wolf into the house.

After passing through several iron gates, Huo Sining and Li Jun finally arrived at the castle entrance. In front of them, a wide stone road specially led into the castle, and according to the old butler, from this road onward, all the territory belonged to the private domain of the Albert family. Within this domain, not even Queen Elizabeth could enter without permission.

The castle was very beautiful, but because it was winter, the lush green lawns and blooming flowers Huo Sining had hoped to see were nowhere to be found. However, since the castle was backed by the Thas River, all the facilities inside were full of European flavor, and every sculpture was a piece of Great Britain’s history, providing an excellent visual effect.

"Miss Huo, you’re here, haha, that’s wonderful!"

Just as Huo Sining and Li Jun were passing through the maze-like garden and reached the castle door, they saw an old man exuberantly coming towards them.

It appeared that this was Albert Adrian.

"I’m Albert Adrian. I had initially wanted to personally experience this international treasure appraisal大会, but due to so delays, I couldn’t make it. Who knew this year’s treasure appraisal大会 would be so spectacular, causing

to miss the opportunity to witness Miss Huo shine with my own eyes. It’s truly regrettable!"

After Adrian ca out, to show his formal greeting, he gently held Huo Sining’s fingertips, and lightly kissed the back of her hand.

Behind the Earl stood more than ten servants. Upon seeing Huo Sining and Li Jun, they placed their right hands on their chests, slightly bowed, and perford an English-style gentleman’s salute.

"Mr. Adrien, thank you very much for your invitation. Your castle is very beautiful; it’s the most magnificent modern residence I’ve ever seen!"

Politely, Huo Sining handed her gift to a nearby servant and tactfully praised the castle, neither exaggerating her words nor showing a trace of flattery.

Clearly, Huo Sining’s complint was very pleasing to Mr. Adrian. Hearing her words, the old Earl was very excited, his face full of animated expression:

"Dear Huo, I’m so glad you like my castle. In fact, it has nearly a thousand years of history, although I’ve invested a lot in its restoration over the years. Spending considerable money has proven to be worth it, at least because you all like it, right?"
