Starting My Treasure Hunting In England

Chapter 445 Unexpected Visitor

Joan of Arc's guess was very accurate. The person who came was a very famous lawyer in London, and the reason why the other party came to Liang En was because there was an inheritance matter that Liang En needed to handle.

"You mean I already have a castle in Romania and the mountains and forests near the castle?" Liang En's eyes widened after hearing the lawyer tell him his purpose. Because the news brought by this lawyer is too shocking.

According to the lawyer, the remains of an Austrian resister he dug out in the tunnel where he found the Orient Express belonged to a member of the famous Habsburg family.

According to the will of this member during his lifetime, when his motherland breaks away from the clutches of Spicy, whoever finds his body and returns it to the family will receive a castle in Romania.

"Yes, sir, you are now the only heir to that castle. As long as you sign these documents, this ancient castle will naturally belong to you." The lawyer took out a pile of documents and handed them to Liang En .

"An ancient castle with 40 hectares of surrounding land, and the other party just gave it to me?" Liang En asked again after taking the document.

The reason why he is so unconfident is also very simple, because it is very difficult for European nobles to pass on a title, but it is very simple to pass on wealth within the family.

Therefore, for such a big castle, it should be easy for the other party to find an heir to inherit the wealth, instead of leaving it to an outsider like Liang En.

Although Europe and the United States flaunt their contractual spirit all day long, if they are faced with a large sum of wealth, those rich people will definitely not hand over the money obediently.

Don't forget, the other party is the famous Habsburg family, a German aristocratic family that established an empire through marriage. The most important thing the other party does not lack is various family members.

Therefore, it should not be difficult for the other party to own this castle worth more than 10 million, and it should not be forced to hand it over to outsiders like now.

Especially whether in the East or the West, selling family property, especially ancestral property, is definitely a very bad thing for nobles. It represents the decline of the family. This is for the Habsburg family, which is now at the top of the European noble chain. It's absolutely unacceptable.

Especially now, although the Habsburg family no longer owns the crown, they often control a large number of industries that give them enough money and power, which is far from declining.

"This is mainly due to some historical reasons, sir." After hearing Liang En's question, the lawyer said with an expression that should have been on his face.

"You know, after the end of World War I, the Austro-Hungarian Empire was divided into many countries. For example, Transylvania, which originally belonged to the Austro-Hungarian Empire, was assigned to Romania because of ethnic issues."

"More importantly, the biggest loss for the Habsburg family was that they lost the crown of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and entered a new period of decline."

"But no one expected that this was just the beginning of this massive decline of the Habsburg family, because World War II soon broke out, and after the end of the world war, half of Europe fell on the other side of the Iron Curtain. Side."

"This change will have a great impact on many things, such as Brown Castle." The lawyer said, pointing to a photo of the castle on the mountain.

"Romania at the time confiscated the castle and nationalized it, and because of the two world wars, the weak Habsburg family could only make weak protests."

"So it was at that time that they gave up their ownership of the castle, and then disclosed the previous will and used the castle and the surrounding land as a reward for finding the missing member."

According to the lawyer, in order to ensure that what I said was true, the other party asked my nearest Catholic church as a witness, so the other party's promise in this regard should be considered relatively reliable.

Of course, in addition to this high-sounding reason, there is also a very practical reason, that is, with the fall of the Iron Curtain, this castle was also returned to the Habsburg family as a model.

Unfortunately, for the Habsburg family, which has now become a modern enterprise, the castle has gone from the family's glory to the family's burden.

The entire castle can only receive 30,000 to 40,000 tourists every year, so the overall economy can be said to be unable to make ends meet. Even including ticket revenue, the castle spends an additional 300,000 euros on castle maintenance every year.

After all, this castle is an ancient castle with hundreds of years of history, and repairing a house in Europe is very expensive, let alone repairing such antiques.

Therefore, it will cost a large sum of money every year to maintain it, and this is definitely not an asset worth holding for a long time for the Habsburg family, which is now starting to modernize operations.

After all, the Habsburg family owned half of Europe back then, so there were too many ancient castles or palaces related to them, so now it is simply impossible to maintain everything related to them as they did in the past.

Therefore, they are now mainly focusing on ancient castles or palaces in Austria, especially near Vienna, so naturally they cannot take care of this ancient castle in Romania.

"Okay, I'll let my lawyer come and talk to you about the specific issues." Liang En thought about it and decided to accept the castle. After all, he didn't have the historical baggage of the Busburg family to deal with. It's all over if this castle is sold.

After receiving Liang En's affirmative answer, the lawyer took out the two large packages of documents placed at the back of the car and handed them to him, then drove away.

For this kind of barrister, the other party would not go far away if it was not an obligation, so he left directly after delivering the things. Don't care about what happens next.

"I think we may go to Romania next." After spending three days reading these contents and getting notification from his lawyer, Liang En said to Joan of Arc who was sitting next to him reading a book.

"Anyway, this is a property worth 10 million, so I have to take a look on site. Otherwise, people will feel a little uneasy - will you go this time?"

"Of course I will go, after all, I am your knight." Joan of Arc said, putting down the book. "And this time is different from previous adventures. It's like traveling around. I can just relax."

Through these several trips, Liang En found that compared to the fact that he was always looking for treasures or monuments, Joan of Arc actually enjoyed the pure pleasure of traveling around.

After all, Joan of Arc is considered a young man, and in her previous life she basically stayed in France and never went anywhere. So now that she has put down the heavy burden on her shoulders, she naturally has some more private hobbies, such as traveling around.

So Joan did enjoy it these few times when they went out, because it just satisfied her wish to see the world, so this trip to Romania was indeed just the right time for Joan to travel to a new place. .
