The main castle was built in the middle of a lake in the manor, connected by a drawbridge, and was clearly built in the early days with defense in mind against invading enemies.
Despite thousands of years of weather, the castle looks very sturdy thanks to constant repairs and maintenance.
After crossing the suspension bridge and passing through the arches of the façade, a huge circular plaza suddenly opens up in front of you.
In the middle is a large fountain, on the east and west sides are the two main buildings of the castle, and on the right side of the pool is a huge lawn that is trimmed like a carpet and can be used as a helipad.
After parking the car, Chavez ran down and opened the door for Finch.
There were already servants waiting by the pool, and when they saw Finch get out of the car, they came up to meet him.
"Dr.
Finch, welcome to Habs Manor, Mr.
Ross is already waiting in his study."
He bowed slightly and made a gesture of please.
Although Chavez was not the first time to visit this place, from the bottom of his heart, he never liked this seemingly luxurious manor, although the decoration here was classical and luxurious, and the people in the manor were like the stones on the walls of the castle, old and cold, old-fashioned and stubborn, stubborn and exuding a musty smell of the old century.
"Doctor, I'll stay here and wait for you."
As soon as Chavez entered the gate of the castle on the east side, he said urgently.
The castle hall is very spacious, with a large crystal chandelier in the shape of a lotus hanging from the roof, and it used to be an audience hall for the royal family to receive the princes and ministers here, and the walls are covered with da.
The works of Vinci, Rubens, Rembrandt and other masters, each of which is of great value, all show the wealth and prominence of the owner here.
Finch nodded and followed the servant to the second floor.
Ascending to the second floor, you turn through a long corridor with plaster casts of the castle's owners, from Tudor kings to nobles and knights, to the heads of the Habs, these statues come to life, looking indifferently at everyone who walks by.
Finch felt a little uncomfortable every time he walked down the hallway, and the intricately carved plaster heads always made him feel a little creepy, as if in the next second, these historical tyrants or nobles would jump off the wall and block the way of people.
Entering the area where the study is located, the style on the wall changes again.
The stone walls inlaid with wooden skirts are covered with oil paintings, all of which are Norse mythological themes, including Sigeld slaying the dragon, Odin being tormented by hanging on the Tree of Wisdom, the battle of Ragnarok, and an aerial view of a city, a circular city complex built on the sea, with the main city in the center and the secondary city scattered like six keys, scattered in all directions.
The huge mahogany door of the study was pushed open, revealing a long wooden table and a huge fireplace, which was a reading room in the study and also served as a meeting room.
Mr.
Ross rose from the chair at the end of the table and nodded gracefully at Vinci, a pure English aristocratic descendant, of Saxon descent, with pale skin, a high nose, deep-set eye sockets, cheeks as if sharpened by a knife, and a face as cold and sharp as the marble downstairs.
"Finch, I've come all the way from the United States like you, so it's not as simple as catching up with my old friend," he asked, a little knowingly.
The servant withdrew, and Finch hung his hat and coat on the coat rack, returned to the long table, and pulled a chair himself and sat down.
"Rose, I'm in a bit of trouble, I'm sure you can help me."
He didn't want to go around in circles with Rose, and he didn't have time to play red tape.
Rose picked up the crystal bottle on the table, poured some whiskey into the goblet, and handed it to Finch. "3o year old Scotch whisky, top grade, taste."
He inserted the cap of the bottle and said with a smile: "Your Tianmu Company is known as the company with the highest technology content in the world, and there is a pervasive Tianyan system, is there anything else to ask us for medieval antiques, don't you represent the pursuit of science and technology can change everything, and the pursuit of science and technology can do everything, we are just some old and moldy fossils on the European Big 6." ” His tone was a bit aggressive.
Finch said calmly: "We can put aside our differences for a while and talk about business first, okay, I want to meet Mr.
Habs now, you Demon Hunter have three knights in Sierra Leone, I believe it has something to do with my ongoing operation, I need their place, my people are in some trouble at the moment." ” Ross spread his hands, still with a cold face, took a sip of whiskey, and said: "Mr.
Habs is currently in Constantinople to relax, you know, after the disappearance of Charlemagne ten years ago, Mr.
Habs fell into great grief and could not extricate himself, so he had to go out often, and he said that everything he saw here reminded him of his beloved son. ” Finch knew that Ross was arming himself, and the Sky Curtain Company was a new type of technology company privately established by himself and Charlemagne, the future head of the Habs family, and the scientific and technological concepts held by him had a lot of conflicts with the old family rules of the Habs family.
The reason why Ross said this was to constantly remind himself that although the Skydome Corporation had a deep connection with Habs, the head of the Presbyterian Church of Moriah, this relationship was not a pleasant experience.
"Rose, I'm not here to entangle history and attack each other and complain with you, one of the ancient precepts of the Moria Presbyterian Church is that as long as there is unity, there will be a future, I think you know better than me, the three demon hunters must have been sent by you to Sierra Leone, Africa, I believe you know what secrets are buried near Bo, so I am not here to ask for your help, but to talk about cooperation."
He looked at the table softly, rhythmically, and continued, "Don't you want to know what's buried there?"
Rose's index finger ran lightly over his thin lips, and a blush flashed across his pale face, and it was clear that Finch's words had aroused his great interest.
"You are not proficient in Chip, I believe you have calculated the approximate location but do not know what it is, and I have specific information, and according to the agreement signed between us, all branches of the Elders of Moria have absolute priority as long as whoever gets the burial object of Atlantis first.
If you're willing to help, I think I can sell that thing that was dug out of the ground. ” A faint blue glow flashed in Rose's deep eye sockets, and it was clear that his appetite and interest had been completely aroused by Finch.
"Finch, my old friend, I don't think you need to buy it anymore," he tapped on the table, "What's there?"
Finch pulled a delicate box out of his waistcoat pocket, placed it on the tabletop, and slid it gently towards Rose.
"Magnetite."
Rose's eyes were filled with more blue light, and he almost snatched the wooden box out of his hand in a bit of a gaffe, gently flipping open the lid to reveal some tiny broken stones, glowing a sparkling pink.
He pulled out a delicate magnifying glass from his pocket, pinched one of the gravel up, and held it up to the light to examine it carefully.
"You should know that this pink crystalline only appears where the magnetite is placed, but the natives of Africa don't know that this is caused by the radiation of the magnetite, and they even give these stones the nice name pink diamond.

For us Elders, this is a supreme treasure, and this kind of stone must be used to hunt pure-bloods above the suzerainty level of Atlantis, otherwise we will have to use a high-yield nuclear bomb to attack. ” Ross finished identifying, put the stones in the box, and asked, "How did you get these stones?"
"Three months ago, there was a Sierra Leone diamond mine owner named Kebbi who took these broken diamonds to Bo City and wanted to sell them through the local diamond middleman, of course, our Tianyan system has been monitoring every diamond transaction in the world, and these very special little diamonds naturally can't escape our intelligence network, and soon we found the diamond mine owner through the liaison officer of De Beers there, and found the exact location of the excavation, I sent a team of three people over, but the current situation seems to be a little wrong, I got word from Harvey that you have three demon hunters going there and I want to ask you for help. ” Ross was again a spreader, and he felt that he could not show too much enthusiasm for these little stones, causing him to lose the initiative in negotiations.
"You'll have to ask Mr.
Habs for yourself
