After breakfast and the court work the next day, Charlie took Wang Bo to receive the inheritance.

The process was very simple. The court prepared a lawyer for Wang Bo. He was a Germanic gentleman with blond hair and blue eyes. He was about forty years old. He was in a suit and leather shoes, with a solemn face. His blond hair was meticulously taken care of, and he was full of human elites. temperament.

"Hello, Mr. Wang, my name is Carey von Muller, and I work for Skadden Law Firm. I will assist you in signing the estate. The fee is 850 yuan per hour, paid by the New Zealand government. Do you have any objections? ?". The German gentleman extended his hand in a friendly manner after seeing Wang Bo.

Wang Bo shook his head. He didn't need to pay, so what objection did he have

Charlie told him that if there were problems with the legality of these property certificates in the future, Mueller would be held accountable first. Therefore, regardless of the high income of foreign lawyers, their responsibilities are also heavy.

Sir Roberts did not leave much legacy, mainly the land certificate and the castle property certificate. After Wang Bo signed, the judge who presided over the inheritance settlement signed on behalf of the country, and the thousand square kilometers of land and the towering castle were It belongs to him.

It only took less than half an hour to hand over the inheritance. The next step was to deal with the establishment of the territory and the town, which was more troublesome.

First of all, he wants to change his nationality. Charlie is responsible for it. After his information is taken away, it will be none of his business.

Then, he will submit an application to build a town, and finally the Otago Regional Council and the New Zealand Parliament will discuss and approve it. They will only approve it when they both think it is necessary to build a town there.

If you want to build a town, you must have a town name. Charlie asked him to think of one. Wang Bo's bad taste came and he said: "How about calling it Dawang Town? Or Xiaowang Town? Wangjia Town?"

Charlie said to him: "No, Wang, you'd better be cautious. To make a profit, small towns in New Zealand must rely on agriculture or tourism. If you still want to develop small town tourism to make money, you'd better start an elegant and dreamy place." Names like Queenstown, Arrowtown, Emerald Town, etc.”

Wang Bo had a headache. After thinking for a while, he still couldn't think of the right one. Muller, who was helping him as a consultant, reminded: "It's not that complicated. Young man, think back to your territory, which point moved you the most, then That’s how you named it.”

Wang Bo closed his eyes and recalled. His first impression of the territory was that beautiful and gentle evening, with the sun setting in the west, the sky full of red clouds, the breeze blowing in the sky, and the green grass swaying on the ground...

"Sunset Town! How about it?" He looked at Charlie and said, this name corresponds to the Sun Never Sets Leader.

Charlie clapped and smiled: "This is a really good name, Sunset Town. There is no such town name in New Zealand yet. It should work."

After giving the town a name, the rest of the matter has little to do with Wang Bo. It is mainly handled by Mueller and Charlie, and he only needs to sign.

All that's left is the approval, and the documents need to be sent to Wellington and sent back again. This cannot be solved in a day or two.

Charlie meant that they stay in Omarama and wait. After Wang Bo got a series of keys, he couldn't wait to see his castle and insisted on returning to live in the castle.

There was no other way, so Charlie had no choice but to agree. The two of them bought some daily necessities such as food, bedding, toothbrushes, toothpaste, and facial cleanser in the small town, and then took a helicopter to fly back to the Sunset Territory—or rather, Sunset Town!

This return trip was still in the afternoon, but Lao Wang was not in the mood to look at the scenery outside. He was worried about the money he spent today.

Charlie said that the money for daily necessities cannot be reimbursed, so he can only pay out of his own pocket. The price of biological materials in New Zealand is not high, but what he spends here is New Zealand currency, which is more than four points per pair of RMB! For example, he bought a set of bedding for 440 New Zealand dollars, which seems not expensive, but can be converted into RMB, which is 2,200 yuan!

Wang Bo calculated that the daily necessities he purchased this time cost him more than 5,000 yuan, and he only brought 20,000 yuan when he went abroad this time.

The helicopter landed near the castle. The pilot spoke to Charlie and then flew away, leaving the two of them at the foot of the mountain.

The castle was located on the mountainside, at least 400 meters above the ground. The two of them put on their backpacks and dragged their boxes and started climbing.

On the way, Charlie told Wang Bo that this castle was built in 1860 and has been around for a century and a half. It is the oldest castle in New Zealand and one of the oldest buildings in New Zealand.

In reality, Wang Bo has never seen an ancient castle with his own eyes. He is very interested in this kind of architecture, especially since the castle still belongs to him, so he is even more interested. He speeds up unconsciously when climbing the mountain, and Charlie cannot keep up with him. , panting and walking behind.

Wang Bo was a little anxious and said: "Charlie, walk faster."

Charlie was about to cry: "Wang, my good friend, not everyone's physical fitness is as good as yours. To be honest, I looked at the information before and it said that you are a programmer, but I don't think that is correct. You must be a programmer." A rugby player, and an ace, right?"

No wonder Charlie thought so. The mountain road was actually quite rugged and lacked maintenance. The road was covered with weeds and shrubs. Walking on it was not much different from climbing a mountain. But the Lord's Heart provided him with a steady stream of motivation, and subtly improved the functions of his organs and strengthened his muscle tissue. Climbing mountains was not a problem for him.

The Southern Alps is the highest mountain range in New Zealand, running through the central and western parts of the South Island. The highest peak, Mount Cook, is 3,764 meters above sea level and 320 kilometers long. It runs from northeast to southwest. The starting point of this mountain range is almost at Sunset Land. in the territory. Coincidentally, the castle was built on the mountainside of the starting peak of this mountain range, with an altitude of more than 400 meters.

Climbing to a height of 400 meters, Charlie felt as if he had lost half his life. When he finally arrived in front of the castle, he sat down on the grass regardless of his demeanor and breathed heavily.

Wang Bo was also breathing heavily, but he was doing it to avoid Charlie seeing anything strange. In fact, he felt that he still had plenty of physical strength!

Standing in front of the castle, Wang Bo looked up and looked at this castle that belonged to him. When he looked at it from a distance, the castle made of stones was majestic and majestic. When he looked closer, he realized that the castle was already very old, dilapidated, and full of... A desolate and broken feeling.

The city wall made of huge stones is more than ten or twenty meters high. Weeds grow in the cracks between the stones, and vines such as wisteria and ivy climb on the wall. The outer wall is rough and looks like the skin of an old farmer exposed to the sun. There are also stains on the stone wall. There were lots of holes, like age spots on the skin.

Seeing that Wang Bo was interested in the castle, Charlie introduced him to him while he was resting: "How about it, man, are you shocked? I have seen the architectural information of the castle. It is said that the Roberts family originally built this castle in order to The castle used 500 tons of cement, 2,000 cubic meters of lime, and 150,000 bricks. As for the stones used, they were sourced locally, so they cannot be counted!"

"If you know how backward the technology was at that time, then you can understand how difficult it was to build it. It was on the mountainside! At that time, various materials had to be transported up by steam cranes, and then a body could be used to tilt it vertically. The vehicles that dump out the loaded goods are transferred to various intermediate stations, and finally sent to their current locations using accurately calculated pulleys. How about it? Isn't it amazing?"

After hearing Charlie's introduction, Wang Bo was indeed shocked. He asked: "How much did it cost to build this castle? New Zealand was short of manpower at that time, right? How did the Roberts family hire manpower?"

Charlie said: "At that time, the Roberts family had just fled England and came here. The family was still very powerful, but they spent almost all their money to build this castle."

"To be honest, they miscalculated. They thought New Zealand would be the second Europa continent, where nobles could fight to seize territory. The Roberts family painstakingly built this castle on the mountainside just to use this castle as a stronghold. Rule the South Island, but now it seems that this idea is really stupid!" Charlie laughed sarcastically.
