Chapter 887 The Priceless Castle
The town of Quanshui is not too big. It can be traced back to 600 A.D., and now the resident population is only 700. Some houses are built along the river.Stepping into the town is like entering a fairy tale world.

Surrounded by green hills, flowing clear water, ancient waterwheels, stone churches, and small roads stretching into the distance, it is really beautiful every step of the way.

In the June season, the climate here is very pleasant and comfortable, attracting tourists from all over the world, everyone has a bright smile on their faces, especially the leisure businesses on both sides of the river are basically full of people, drinking iced cool coffee chatting staring at the sky.

"Xiaojun, where are our people?"

"It's all scattered, little uncle, how about we find a place to rest and have a drink first?"

"It's better to settle down first, and then at night when there are few people, we can just take a stroll here." Li Mo looked at the flow of people around, and it was difficult to find a place to sit and relax, "Mr. Yuli, according to the core information , this place may become one of the treasure places because one of Philip IV's most trusted confidant ministers retires here, what do you think about this?"

"There are two main points. The spring town is surrounded by mountains. In ancient times, it was easy to defend and difficult to attack. It only needs to station some soldiers to protect the safety of the place. The confidant minister was born in Fontainebleau, and it is quite far from the king's palace. Even if you are old-age, you won’t run so far. The second point is that it is the closest to the Papal Palace in Avignon, so you can monitor every move in the Papal Palace very well, and even if there is a change, you can rush there to suppress it in the shortest time. So we It seems possible that the treasure of the Knights Templar is hidden here as well."

Most of the living places here are similar to homestays, without the kind of towering modern hotels.Because there are many tourists and few rooms, the housing prices here are also very high. Sometimes it is not possible to have a room even if you book half a year in advance.

But this matter is naturally difficult for Li Mo, if it is difficult, it can only mean that the money has not been spent in place.

Li Mo lived in a homestay. There were six rooms in the house. Except for the owner who used three rooms, the remaining six rooms were refurbished and rented out. This was their most important source of income.If you want to eat at the host's house, the cost is calculated separately.

"Haha, as long as Mr. Li likes it. My daughter Molly made this steak herself. She has studied in the chef school for half a year, and her skills are still very good."

"When I was young, I often took my younger brother to play there, but I haven't seen the owner for more than ten years. Now the person staying in the castle is an old man hired by his family for decades. I heard from the old man that the castle The owner almost went bankrupt due to the failure of business investment. At that time, he wanted to sell this castle with a history of more than 600 years, but because the price was too expensive, and secondly, it was almost used for vacation, and the super rich didn’t want to After playing for a few days, I paid a huge sum of money to buy the castle, so the castle was not sold until it was ready."

Li Mo finished his steak, drank some lemon juice, wiped his mouth with a wet towel and said, "How much is the price of that castle?"

"The characteristic of the Pope's Palace is the accumulation of history, and you can feel the supreme authority of the Pope seven or eight hundred years ago. And the characteristic of our spring town is the original natural scenery, very clean, very pure, get up in the morning and breathe You can feel the clean taste in the wind in one breath.”

Mo Lisi was very beautiful, with a white and clean face, blue eyes, long blond hair, and a slender and tall figure that should be perky and bulging. She was definitely a top-notch beauty.She was in her early twenties, and she was sitting opposite Li Mo, slowly eating a small piece of steak.

"Does Miss Morris know the ready-made owner of the castle?"

"Mr. Cass, I saw a building at the highest point, which looks a bit like a castle. Judging from the exterior architecture, it is also obviously different in style from the houses in your area. Has it been many years?"

The 30 people who came earlier basically lived in hotels outside.

Before Cass could answer, Moriss interjected, "The building you mentioned is actually a castle with a history of nearly 700 years. If it goes back to the source, its owner was a minister of King Philip IV of Fa. It is said that he was highly valued, and Philip IV built him a small castle in such a beautiful place in his later years. Over the centuries, its owner has changed a lot, and it is no longer the descendant of that minister. "

"Just work for the government of Avignon."

"Mr. Li, this red wine is from Avignon. Try it and see how it tastes?"

The owner is a blond man in his 40s, tall and thin, wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses and speaking fluent Chinese.Quanshui Town receives a lot of tourists from China every year, and the Chinese tourists are generous, so basically the residents of the town can speak a few words of Chinese, which is considered a rather peculiar scene here.

She should have inherited her mother's excellent genes. Morris also has a younger brother who is still in school.He seemed a little uneasy sitting there, most of them buried their heads in their meals in silence, occasionally looking up at Juliet.

"Mr. Cass, I don't drink much, so I don't know much about wine, but this steak is very tender and the sauce is well adjusted. I like it very much."

"Being able to become the owner of that small castle, no matter who it is, is very famous in history."

One room for Li Mo, one room for Chen Xiaojun and Brown Bear, and one room for Da Shan and the others to live in.But after Juliet stuffed a wad of money into Dashan's hands, Li Mo smiled and asked them to solve the accommodation problem by themselves. If they couldn't find a hotel, they could just drive to another nearby town and stay in a hotel.

"We came here from there today. Compared with it now, I think Spring Town is more worth visiting than the Pope's Palace."

"I see."

"Mr. Li is very right in saying this. Among other things, he said that its owner was very powerful more than 100 years ago. He was a French navy admiral. Now all his direct bloodlines died in the war. Later, the small castle was destroyed. Inherited by his sister's son, it has already changed hands."

"Where does Mr. Cass work?"

For the young oriental man who made an appointment two months in advance, the owner's family gave him a very warm reception.What I ate that night was the most sumptuous steak, baked potatoes, mixed with a salad, and the host even specially opened a bottle of red wine.

Li Mo nodded while eating the steak, it was very interesting to listen to this.

"At the beginning, the price was 2000 million euros, because no one was interested, so the price has been dropping, and now the price is 40 million euros, but no one is paying attention. To be honest, I went to play in that castle, and it can accommodate [-] people together. Daily life is fine."

"Miss Morris, can the castle be visited now?"

Morris shook her head: "It's not open to the outside world."

"I'm a little interested in that castle. If I can go in and take a look at the interior layout, if I'm satisfied, maybe I'll pay to buy it. In this way, I can bring my family to live here for a few months every year. The edge is very suitable for living.”

The four members of the Cass family were stunned. This Chinese man actually wanted to buy the castle, but the price was 2000 million euros, what an astonishing figure.They didn't even dare to think that there would be people in the world who would actually buy that castle for travel and vacation.
