Neuschwanstein Castle, built several years before the death of "Mad Ludwig", is known as "the crystallization of genius and madness".
The crazy part is that the castle was used as a military fortress, and the Neuschwanstein Castle does not have any towers, corner towers or city walls, nor does it have any preset gun firing ports or artillery positions, just like a soldier without any armor or weapons.
The genius part is that the castle looks very artistic from a visual perspective, with pure white walls and a roof covered with blue glazed tiles. It is so beautiful that it looks like a dream home from a fairy tale.
However, this beauty is only limited to the appearance - Ludwig died before the Neuschwanstein Castle was built, so that only the outer shell of the castle was built, and the rooms inside were not decorated and designed in time. It is said that he left tens of millions of marks in debt to his family.
"My father always said that Ludwig was a crazy heir." Eleanor stood in front of the castle gate and talked to Ask, "If this guy was an architect, artist or dramatist, he would definitely have outstanding achievements. Unfortunately, such a person was the heir of the Weisbach family at that time."
"So the castle was abandoned later?" asked Mier.
"Of course not," said Eleanor. "We rented it out to a movie company over in Solomon City for use in their movies, and it seems that we finally got our money back about thirty years ago."
The three of them stood in front of the gate of Neuschwanstein Castle, surrounded by an empty forest. Of course, due to the deterioration of relations between the Holy See and the Empire in recent years, no Solomon's film company would rent the castle.
The reason why three people were chosen is because the copy itself is not big, so there is no need to mobilize all members of the Cang Qing Sword.
Except for Mi'er and Eleanor, Ask gave the other girls a holiday, and then brought the two of them here alone.
"Come to think of it, could it be that Eleanor's ancestor 'Mad Ludwig' was a transcendent in the 'Luck' sequence?" Mier asked curiously.
"No way." Eleanor said uncertainly, "From what I know, he should be just an ordinary person."
"He's not, but one of his friends is." Ask said, "Have you heard of Wilhelm?"
"Are you talking about that classical romantic playwright?" Eleanor had heard of him before. Apparently, her aristocratic courses included art appreciation. "The Ring of the Nibelung, The Valkyrie, Ragnarok, and many other famous legendary dramas were written by him."
"Yes, this writer is keen on exploring all kinds of extraordinary myths and then describing them in the form of scripts." Ask explained, "Because he has been wandering around mutations and ancient ruins for many years, he has to linger on the edge of death. He is not good at fighting at all, so he chose to take the magic potion of the 'luck' sequence."
"This magic potion can freely adjust the cycle of luck and bad luck. Whenever he goes to explore the dangerous mutant zone, he will adjust the favor of luck to the maximum to save his life; when he returns to the real civilized world, the corresponding bad luck will slowly be released."
"Due to his frequent adventures and long-term use of his luck, the bad luck he encountered in the civilized world included: being fired by the producer and unable to find a job for a long time; participating in a local parade, which was suppressed after two days, and he was wanted as the leader; receiving donations from friends during his exile, which he quickly spent and left him with a huge debt; his wife discovered that he was exchanging letters with a female sponsor, and misunderstood that he was cheating on her, causing a scandal, etc."
