Treasure hunt begins in England

Chapter 445 The Unexpected Visitor

Joan'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 find Liang En was that Liang En had to deal with an inheritance matter.

"You mean that I already have a castle in Romania, as well as the forest near the castle?" Liang En's eyes widened after hearing the lawyer explain his purpose of coming.Because the news brought by the lawyer was too shocking again.

According to the lawyer, one of the remains of the Austrian resisters he dug up in the tunnel where the Orient Express was found came from a member of the famous Habsburg family.

According to the member's will, when his homeland is free 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 sole heir of that castle, as long as you sign these documents, this ancient castle will naturally belong to you." The lawyer took out a bunch of documents and handed them to Liang En .

"An old castle with 40 hectares of land around it, is that the other party gave it to me?" Liang En asked again after receiving the documents.

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

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

Don't look at Europe and the United States who flaunt their contract spirit all day long, but if faced with a large amount 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 lacks is various family members.

Therefore, it should not be too difficult for the other party to want to own this castle worth more than 1000 million, and it should not be forced to hand it over to outsiders like it is now.

Especially whether it is the East or the West, it is definitely a very bad thing for the nobles to sell family property, especially the ancestral property, which represents the decline of the family. For the Habsburg family, which is now at the top of the European noble chain is absolutely unacceptable.

Especially now that although the Habsburg family no longer owns the crown, they often hold a large amount of property so that they have enough money and power, far from declining.

"This is mainly caused by 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 the First World War, 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 is that they lost the crown of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and entered a new round of recession."

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

"This change has a great impact on many things, such as this Brown Castle." The lawyer pointed to a photo of the castle on the hill.

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

"So at that time they gave up the ownership of the castle, and then made public the previous will, using the castle and the surrounding land as a reward for the recovery of the previous missing member."

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

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

It is a pity that for the Habsburg family, which has now become a modern enterprise, the castle has changed from a family glory to a family burden.

The entire castle can only receive 3 to 4 tourists a year, so the overall economy can be said to be unable to make ends meet. Even if the entrance fee income is included in the castle, an additional 30 euros will be spent on the maintenance of the castle.

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

Therefore, it will cost a lot 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 modern operations.

After all, the Habsburg family owned more than half of Europe back then, so there are too many ancient castles or palaces related to them, so now it is impossible to maintain all things related to themselves like in the past.

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

"Okay, I'll let my lawyer come and talk to you about the specific issues." After thinking about it, Liang En decided to accept the castle. After all, he didn't have the historical burden of the Bousburg family. The castle is sold and it's over.

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

For this kind of barrister, if it was not an obligation, the other party would not have traveled far, so he left directly after delivering the things.Don't care about the things behind.

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

"Anyway, this is a real estate worth 1000 million yuan, so I have to take a look at it on the spot, otherwise it will make people feel a little uneasy-will you go this time?"

"Of course I will go, after all I am your knight." Joan of Arc put down the book and said. "And this time is different from the previous expeditions. It is equivalent to traveling around, and I can just relax."

Through these few trips, Liang En found that compared to the fact that he went out every time to find treasures or historic sites, Joan of Arc purely enjoyed the fun of traveling around.

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

So Joan of Arc really enjoyed them when they went out these few times, because it just satisfied her wish to see the world, so going to Romania this time is indeed a good time for Joan of Arc to travel to a new place .
