MTL - Mixed In the United States As a Local Tyrant-Chapter 476 hunting palace

  Chapter 476 Hunting Palace

There are always gains and losses. The Liverpool scene is something that may happen now and in the future. He has bid farewell to ordinary life, but he is not an entertainment star. He wants to keep a low profile but is famous... In the end, he stayed in Sardinia. At least life here is calm and comfortable.

  In November, the state banquet at the Moncalieri Palace was also held on time.

  Although it was a banquet with simple dishes, it required more than 50 people to participate. The most important test was whether the palace steward could handle the job well and arrange the details in place. At the same time, it is also a time to show the face of the royal family. In the future, this form will have to be used for visiting foreign heads of state.

   Facts have proved that Brandon is very good, the state banquet ended at 11:30, and the guests left satisfied. And the leftover mess needs to be dealt with in an orderly manner by the servants, and this will be one of the few busy moments in the palace. Other forms of state banquets rarely have so many guests participating.

  After November, the temperature gradually drops and winter comes.

  An Feng likes this climate very much. In winter, he can feel cold, but the house does not have all-weather heating; in summer, it is hot, but affected by the sea breeze, it is not extremely hot, and the high temperature is in the early 30s. The island is very comfortable and cozy all year round, the first choice for leisure.

  Christmas holidays are approaching, and a year of work is coming to an end.

This is the time for vacation and travel, but the Moncalieri Palace is very busy. At the beginning of the month, the royal family will leave the Moncalieri Palace and go to the western part of Nuoro province, stay in the local hunting palace, and invite friends to participate in the royal hunting For the event, the servants have to prepare the details.

On the morning of the 5th, the guards delivered the inspected vehicles to them. They were all SUVs, seven-seat full-size models launched by Jeep, pure electric, driven by front and rear motors, and the high-end version has a range of 550 kilometers. The EU standard charging station only takes three minutes Can be fully charged.

  The price of the high-end version is about 60,000 euros. In China, it is a million-level SUV. In view of Jeep’s consistent off-road style, its performance and comfort are taken into account. The royal family specially ordered a batch and slightly modified it as a royal car. The car is very popular in Asia and North America.

  Matthew also arrived in the morning. Except for the absence of his daughter, the youngest son William and his wife were present. After everyone prepared their luggage, they boarded the car and set off. Two families each had a car, and the rest was a guard car, and they all carried short guns and gun licenses.

  The central part of Sardinia is sparsely populated. It used to be a hunting ground for local residents. It is said that there are European wild boars and bears. Considering safety, the four guards are equipped with guns.

  Depart by car and follow the GPS prompts to go north. They need to follow the road to Oristano, and then turn to Macomel, a small town west of Nuoro. The whole journey is more than 140 kilometers. The road is spacious and straight, with beautiful pastoral scenery on both sides, and the speed of the vehicle is maintained at a relatively high level.

Sardinia's highway construction is very good, two-way four-lane, occasionally there is a national road beside it, surrounded by fences and green grass in the middle, there are few vehicles on the road, and there is no concept of toll booths, so it takes about an hour to reach the destination Macmer City.

  Macommel is not big, but the road connecting the north and the south will pass through here. To the north of it is a large area of ​​plains and rolling mountains. There are mountains and flat land, which are very suitable for the reproduction of wild animals, but also bring difficulty to hunting. But the essence of hunting is to enjoy the process.

  The Royal Hunting Palace is located in a remote place. After leaving the city, the convoy entered an area protected by wooden fences. From here, it is the queen's private domain, which is not small, close to 20,000 acres. The longest is eight kilometers and the widest is five kilometers, covering the nearby plains and forests.

  A one-way road leads to the depths of the dense forest ahead. The GPS has no hints, but it is obvious that as long as you follow the road, you can find the destination. After the convoy passed through a quiet pine forest, it suddenly became clear that a building with a domed watchtower appeared in front of it.

  The vehicle in front slowed down, and the Royal Hunting Palace was surrounded by tall trees, hidden in the jungle. This is also in line with the purpose of the Hunting Palace. It must not be located in a downtown area. Only by choosing a sparsely populated forest area can it provide sufficient space for activities for the princes and nobles.

Considering the impact, the designer did not name the building. "Royal Hunting Palace" is just a common name, because there may be some very silent animal protectors in the outside world—even if wild boars bulldozed all the crops in the field, it is very important to protect them. Mainstream crowd - the royal family has to beware of gossip.

  So it is called a royal leisure place to the outside world.

  The convoy came to the main entrance of the Hunting Palace, and the servants who heard the news opened the iron gate. A day earlier, fifteen servants had moved in early to clean up the Hunting Palace. After driving in, they stopped in the courtyard, and everyone got out of the car, looking up at this somewhat tall retro building.

  The design of Hunting Palace is a bit of neoclassical style, but this style is only used in residential buildings in a small amount, so the designer has made some modifications to make it more suitable for living. Compared with the luxurious Moncalieri Palace, it is just a very ordinary, big house with two towers, two stories high and twenty bedrooms.

  Matthew looked at it: "Is this the one that existed before?"

  An Feng said: "No, it was built recently."

   "How is it possible!" Matthew couldn't believe it. The appearance of the Hunting Palace was a little mottled, and the white walls were yellowing. It felt like history at a glance.

  An Feng smiled: "Don't let the technology fool you, it uses 3D printing technology like the palace, so that the real ones are fake. Go and see the layout inside the house."

   "How strange!" said Matthew.

  The servants came to take away the luggage, and they entered the house together.

Although the house is not big, since it is called a "palace", it will not be too small. Its appearance is not a long strip, but a large square. Dining room and lounge, as well as the important exhibition hall, used to display prey specimens.

Generally speaking, the house is mostly decorated in dark tones, a large number of handmade carpets are laid on the wooden floor, and there is a retro fireplace in the living room. It is okay to burn wood for heating if necessary, but now it is mostly geothermal, and there are hidden places above the head. The air outlet of the central air conditioner.

   After a brief visit, return to the room to prepare clothes.

  The bedroom is like a deluxe room in a hotel, with a bed, a desk, a wardrobe, and a bathroom. Its main purpose is to live, allowing guests to spend their minds on hunting, so the interior decoration is low-key luxury. After changing into their hunting clothes, they gathered in the living room.

  All of their hunting suits are custom-made, and the styles are almost the same: durable trousers for easy movement, coats with many pockets, convenient backpacks, and shoes or boots for both men and women. Do not pursue luxury, everything is practical.

   But women who love beauty still found a lot of fashion ideas. Joanna added a plaid headscarf to cover her hair on the basis of the safari suit; a pair of polarized sunglasses, which still have ultraviolet rays at noon; and a pair of non-slip gloves. Dressing up like this is also photogenic.

  Christina said: "You really know how to match!"

  Joanna said: "Although hunting is physical work, we must retain some charm, right?"

   "I agree." She nodded, "I also like free style dressing."

The three children are similar, small clothes, small boots and gloves, don't look at their fragile appearance, they will be the main force later, this hunting is for training the children, otherwise the adults should go Africa, play on the real grassland.

  Men's dress is mainly practical, not fancy.

  An Feng said to them: "Let's go and count the weapons."

National laws allow private ownership of guns, but guns are not allowed in public places, short guns cannot be owned without special permission, long guns must be non-automatic, and can only be used at home or in places where guns are allowed, and the bullets must be separated when taking the car out. Use a dedicated gun lock…

The management regulations for gun ownership are very strict. If you really want to play with guns, the gun shop is a good choice. There are automatic weapons. Under the standard management regulations, citizens can also get in touch with guns, learn related knowledge, and cultivate fun. It's not just strict control.

  The royal family leads by example and does not use short guns-although the guards have them. The two adults chose sniper rifles and shotguns, and brought some ammunition, binoculars and basic equipment.

When they went out with guns and ammunition on their backs, a male servant brought over five purebred hounds with black hair. They are descendants of flat-haired retrievers Pipi and Dandan. Pipidandan dared to fight wild boars back then, and his offspring were not bad.

   "A lot!" Alice yelled, and two golden little ones ran over beside her.

  An Feng said: "Don't take them there!"

   "Why, Dad?" Alice hugged one of them, Dodo. Since they are twins, Alice takes the same name.

  She just wants to add some trouble to the world.

   "It's only this small." An Feng compared it with his hands, "I'm afraid it's not enough for a wild boar to eat."

   "Huh?" She was surprised, "Would that make Fred also..."

  Fred: “…”

  An Feng sweated: "I didn't mean to say this, I mean, don't take your pets out!"

   "If you don't take it, don't take it, why are you so fierce!" She said.

   "Joanna, I need your help!" An Feng left with his forehead covered.

  Joanna smiled and opened the SUV driver's door: "Get in the car, leave the little ones here, and come play with them at night."

  Alice was basically irresistible to her mother.

  Joanna was driving, and An Feng had to tell the two children some precautions for using guns. Mostly Alice, Fred was too young to hold a gun. Matthew also told his 12-year-old son, William, that although it was not the first time he touched a gun, the details must not be let go.

  I used four vehicles this time. In addition to the guard vehicle, the pickup truck filled with hounds at the front is Aklan, the full-time hound caregiver and scout for hunting activities. Aclan is an Englishman who has a lot of research on training hounds and hunting. He can be said to be a teacher of hunting sports for the nobles.

According to a helper from Acland on the walkie-talkie, they used drones to survey the surrounding environment for several kilometers yesterday. There were quite a lot of prey, mainly wild boars and red deer. In addition, there are some subspecies of gray wolves that do not exist locally, but It belongs to artificial introduction, ecological balance and so on.

  Their destination was a hilly terrain three kilometers away. The straight-line distance was three kilometers. It didn't seem long, but it took twenty minutes to walk the mountain road. Leave the car and march on foot. He also brought four guards, two servants, and five hunting dogs. The hunting lineup was luxurious.

  The protagonists are three children. William and Alice are responsible for holding guns. Fred observes. The parents are responsible for guiding and looking for some easy tasks for them, so that the children can gain a sense of accomplishment. There's extra fun for the grown-ups too - hunt deer with more than ten splits.
