Reborn as a small European country

Chapter 229 The Knowledgeable Old Earl

"It's okay, but there are some things I don't understand."

It is normal to not understand, after all, even if you are not familiar with English, it is a rare thing if you are successful in your studies.

After having breakfast with Little Lolita, Joseph decided to go to Edinburgh for a stroll. When he came to Scotland, he couldn't ignore some landlords here!

Edinburgh is considered a small gathering place for Scottish nobles. Some nobles who don't like living in manors and castles will buy villas in Edinburgh or the suburbs of Edinburgh.Glasgow?It is a city with a relatively strong modern atmosphere, and it is much worse than Edinburgh, the hobby of nobles, although Edinburgh is not as economically as Glasgow.

An Audi A5 carried Joseph to Edinburgh, and the two guards were enough to ensure Joseph's safety while moving quietly.

The scenery on the country road is very good, the only downside is that it is easy to encounter some unexpected things on the way, such as now...

A car accident, not very tragic, but a car accident that blocked the road.

A Ferrari sports car driven by a young driver collided with a heavy truck loaded with cargo in a driver in his forties, and the result is self-evident...

Of course, it is more appropriate to say that it was not a collision but that it was crushed. Not tragic means that the tire of a heavy truck pierced through the co-pilot. The driver was terrified but there was no serious problem.

Joseph didn't care about the outcome of the matter, but Joseph no longer took the idea of ​​riding similar vehicles, so Nord began to develop his own series of off-road vehicles.

Edinburgh, the capital of Scotland and a famous cultural ancient city in the UK, has born too many masters of art, and you can see traces of ancient buildings from the 6th century everywhere.

Edinburgh Library
He came here because he wanted to give Li Xiaoxi a book, an out-of-print book that he had seen but could no longer find. He wanted to try his luck in the Edinburgh library. It was about some witches, Fiction of magical stories.

Joseph, who was followed by two bodyguards in black, had an unusual identity, but if they were allowed to leave and Joseph, who came to the library alone, would be just an ordinary handsome college student.

The 19-year-old is in his youth. No matter what his status is, at this age, without a prominent background and guards, he can still easily integrate into the social environment and become a very ordinary part of it.

Following the bookshelves of novels, Joseph searched for them little by little. He could ask the guards to help him buy them, but there are some things that can only be sincere if he does them himself, isn't it?
touch~
very soft...

It felt like an instant, and a faint fragrance wafted away. Looking up, a blond beauty was sitting on the ground frowning. It was obvious that Joseph bumped into her just now.

"sorry!"

"Shouldn't you help me up first?"

The beauty wasn't too angry, but she complained that Joseph didn't help her up in time. After all, she was standing here reading, and when she was knocked down suddenly, no one would greet her with a smile.

Helping her up, Joseph realized that she had delicate skin that the West did not have. Kate was already good, but she was still not as good as her.

Although Gao Jingxuan and Li Xiaohan have good skin, they are far inferior to this one in terms of fairness. It is a pity that it is winter now, and the white cotton textile cotton coat can only vaguely highlight the girl's figure. The light white skinny jeans and brown pony boots make her The beautiful legs are at a glance.

"Oops, time is running out."

Passers-by in life just glanced at it briefly, just like now, in an instant...the beauty disappeared at the door, and at the same time took away Joseph's interest in looking for books.

Fortunately, the management staff helped, and finally Joseph helped Li Xiaoxi prepare gifts. The moment he went out, Joseph suddenly remembered that there seemed to be something similar to an identity plate hanging on the chest of the beautiful woman just now.It's a pity that I didn't observe carefully... Why would I think so?Joseph shook his head and smiled wryly.

The first person Joseph visited was an old earl. Although it was only 1975 when he accepted the title, he was already in his eighties at this time, and he was a respectable and knowledgeable old man.

The life of the old man is not very good. In the high-end apartment on the side of Maier Avenue, there is a 150-square-meter apartment for him.

Without a manor, without a castle, is it not an aristocrat?That's not the case. In terms of pure connections, maybe he can be ranked in the top ten in Scotland, and he can also be ranked in the forefront in terms of wealth.

So why do you still live in an apartment?When Joseph learned of the location of his home, he also asked Allen, and the old butler Allen's answer was:

"His life wealth and the legacy he received are all used in scientific careers. Edinburgh has more than ten awards of more than one million pounds every year, three of which belong to him, and are awarded to scientists who have made outstanding contributions in medicine, education, and space. .”

This is a man to be respected and a must visit, and to hear his story Joseph has decided to do so.

Downstairs in the apartment, Joseph stopped the two guards. Although they were unwilling, they did not dare to disobey Joseph's order, so they could only stay downstairs and wait.

In room [-], looking at the somewhat dilapidated door, Joseph tapped.

Crunch, the old earl doesn't have any defensiveness, and he doesn't need to. His daily life is only a few hundred pounds, and all the rest are in the fund as rewards and cannot be withdrawn.

"you are?"

The old man with thinning hair glanced at Joseph with his reading glasses, consciously unfamiliar, so he asked.

"Mr. Dalton, I am the heir to the Earl of Aberdeen..."

"King of Nord, Joseph Ragnar."

Joseph was not too surprised that the other party could reveal his identity in one word. Even though he lives in this small apartment now, he is still the old earl of Scotland and one of the most influential people. No reason is unclear.

"come in!"

Maybe it was because of his old age that he was a little staggering when he walked, but Joseph didn't step forward to help him. At this moment, he couldn't rashly break the dignity of an old man.

Sure enough... He was very satisfied with Joseph's indifference, and even poured a cup of tea for Joseph himself after sitting down.

Taking this opportunity, Joseph observed some old earl's rooms, which were not as messy as imagined. At this time, Joseph's first impression was that there were flowers, grass, a bird, a cat, leisurely wooden chairs, and exquisite porcelain in the apartment. , these may be the real valuable things in the room.

But I believe... Any thief who comes here will not pay attention to these tables and chairs, they are only staring at the few hundred pounds notes.

"I think your coming may be just the purest visit, which is very rare and rare."

After taking the tea from the old earl, he took a sip, and it was indeed British tea. Although it had a unique fragrance, Joseph still liked the clouds and mist in the east, even Dahongpao didn't particularly like it.

"There's a lot out there in your story."

"I also know a lot of your stories."

"It's not polite to treat an old man like that, though I don't care."

The two looked at each other and couldn't help but smiled knowingly. They both liked this attitude of speaking. I won't rely on my elders and you don't want to say that you are a Nord king.

Through the gap, Joseph saw the computer in the bedroom, so he couldn't help asking: "The old count also uses a computer?"

"Playing a dozen games every once in a while, it's a revolution."

Joseph knew what he was referring to, so he nodded in agreement: "Yes, this is indeed a revolution."

"You seem to have a plan in mind, so can you tell me what the future revolution will look like?"

"Everyone stays at home, and there will be robots carrying the things you order from them to your home."

"Some sci-fi."

"But it's the real truth."

"If possible, I really hope to see that day."

Death has always been a taboo word, at least for old people, so Joseph didn't answer.

"I have no wife, no children, and no inheritance, but I still have some influence. If there is a need, I will try my best to help."

"I am the King of Nord. I have tens of billions of euros in wealth and tens of thousands of troops. If you need it, you can also speak."

Some are tit-for-tat, but at the same time there is some sympathy for each other. Even if they are two people with an age difference of more than sixty years, they talk about the past and the present, and talk about each other's opinions as if they were old friends.

Two hours later, Joseph walked out of the apartment. He was a little different from when he went up, but the guard couldn't tell exactly what was different.

No one knew that the old earl died a few hours after Joseph left, really died, and died with a smile on his face, leaving with his vision of the world for decades to come.

On the outskirts of Edinburgh, looking at the horse farm in front of him, Joseph asked his guard a little strangely: "Is this the estate of the Fleming family?"

"If the map given by Butler Allen is correct, then this is indeed the estate of the Fleming family."

This is the Marquess Fleming who loves horses, the only thought in Joseph's mind at this time.

There were special reception staff at the racecourse, and when they learned that Joseph was the Earl of Aberdeen and wanted to meet the Marquis of Fleming, a look of embarrassment flashed across their faces.

"I'm sorry, my lord, the Marquis just left for London the day before. If you wish, I can inform the Marquis..."

"No, I'm just stopping by for a visit. Since I'm not here, let's do it!"

……

"You don't look right, find someone to investigate. If it's a private matter of their family, don't tell me. If there are other reasons, please let me know as soon as possible."

Joseph was worried that some Scottish nobles were deliberately targeting Li Xiaohan. After all, Li Xiaohan held a completely different attitude from them on some land interests.Of course, he understands that the possibility of this is very small.
