Chapter 697: Chapter 0698: A Very Special Disease [14th Update]

From Paris to Toulouse, one can take a plane, high-speed train, regular train, bus, or even a car, but among these options, taking the high-speed train seems to be the most comfortable.

Once the three of them found their seats and sat down, Ye Qiu sat by himself, while Louise and Zhou Wenting sat together, chatting away in French from time to time. They talked about everything, from their time at the university in Marseille, to Wenting’s return to Huaxia, even about Ye Qiu curing people’s illnesses, and some very private matters.

Both Louise and Zhou Wenting thought that Ye Qiu couldn’t understand French, but Ye Qiu just sat there smiling inwardly.

He found this Louise to be quite interesting!

On the high-speed train, attendants came by with water and food for sale, which had to be paid for in euros. Louise was the one spending the money.

"Louise, what illness does the Earl actually have? How is he doing now?"

Zhou Wenting asked in French.

"It’s a very special illness, and the Earl’s condition is very serious now,"

Louise said.

What exactly was this illness?

Louise only knew a little, but couldn’t be completely sure, and besides, there were other passengers around; it wasn’t convenient for her to reveal it.

Hearing this, Zhou Wenting looked across at Ye Qiu and said, "Ye Qiu, Louise said that the Earl’s illness is very special and currently very serious."

"Well, we’ll see the patient first before discussing anything else!"

In fact, whatever illness the Earl had didn’t really count as much for Ye Qiu; as long as the Earl wasn’t dead and still had a breath left in him, he could save him and completely cure him.

This time, Ye Qiu wasn’t just coming over to treat the Earl’s illness, but also for the Earl’s estate, vineyard, and that castle.

"Wenting, ask your classmate if it’s true that curing the Earl’s illness will be rewarded with an estate and vineyard, and a castle!"

Ye Qiu asked.

Zhou Wenting knew Ye Qiu was fixated on those things; otherwise, Ye Qiu wouldn’t have come all this way to treat a stranger Earl’s illness.

Zhou Wenting looked toward Louise and asked in French, "Louise, Ye Qiu just asked if it’s true that curing the Earl’s illness will earn such a reward?"

"Of course, French people keep their word, and since the Earl has already made the promise, it’s definitely true. The estate should be around ten hectares, with a castle from the seventeenth century, and ordinary estates as well. All of these are part of the Earl’s inheritance, and only a small part of it at that,"

Before the French Revolution, the French nobility wielded great power and owned many fiefs, including the estates and castles that belonged to various Dukes, Earls, and other nobility.

Nowadays, this Earl’s ancestors include a French Emperor, but modern nobility is a shadow of its former self. The real noble people in France now belong to the upper tiers of the bourgeois class, including those in politics, business, and the top echelons controlling France’s industrial lifelines.

This Earl, although only an Earl in name, still has many private lands, including estates, vineyards, farms, and more.

"And, this Earl is related to the Archbishop!"

Louise whispered to Zhou Wenting.

The Archbishop?

When Zhou Wenting heard this, she realized it was indeed a significant matter, after all, most of Europe adhered to Christianity and Eastern Orthodox, but no matter what, an Archbishop’s status was extremely significant.

Ye Qiu was aware of this to some extent, but if that was the case, he was afraid the Earl’s illness was not so simple. Otherwise, given the Earl’s status and position, he should have already sought renowned doctors from all over the world for treatment.

If even that could not cure him, he feared the illness must be incredibly difficult to treat.

...

Louise and Zhou Wenting chatted continuously, while the high-speed train swiftly traveled from Paris to Toulouse, covering four to five hundred kilometers. The journey took somewhat longer due to the many stops along the way.

The two women conversed in French, falsely assuming that Ye Qiu did not understand a word of French.

However, Ye Qiu could just pretend not to understand, his gaze fixed outside the train window, realizing that the environment in France was quite pleasant in every aspect.

If he managed to acquire that estate and castle, it would be nice for future visits to France.

The high-speed train arrived at the Toulouse train station at 7:40 in the evening, reaching the station.

Upon exiting the train station, they needed to take a car to a small provincial capital called Foix.

Foix was a small city in a French province, but surprisingly, it had a population of less than ten thousand. It was unimaginable to have a provincial capital in a foreign country with such a meager population.

In fact, one could take a train from Toulouse to Foix, but they did not do so this time because Louise knew someone was already on their way to pick them up by car.

Ye Qiu picked up his backpack, pulled Zhou Wenting’s travel case, and then exited the train station with Zhou Wenting and Louise.

They did not wait long outside before seeing two luxury Bugatti Veyrons already waiting for Louise.

Louise went over personally to greet the drivers and soon the doors of the two Bugatti Veyrons were opened; Ye Qiu and Zhou Wenting got into one car, while Louise entered the other.

Ye Qiu had researched these luxury cars before; they would cost twenty to thirty million in Huaxia and, though perhaps not as expensive abroad, they certainly weren’t cheap.

He and Zhou Wenting realized the difference upon sitting in the luxurious sports car, especially considering it was just the Earl’s driver who had come to pick them up in such a car.

This indicated that the Earl’s family was truly wealthy.

Ye Qiu and Zhou Wenting sat there without saying much, and the driver directly began driving towards the castle where the Earl currently resided.

About an hour and a half later, when the car stopped, Ye Qiu found himself within an incredibly vast estate.

How large was this estate, exactly?

By estimation, it was at least as large as a small town in Huaxia, and there were several detached castles inside, surrounded either by vineyards or green lawns, with various precious trees.

The driver, who had assumed based on Ye Qiu’s attire that he was a rather ordinary doctor from Huaxia, was surprised to find that the young man had maintained a calm demeanor throughout the journey; even upon arriving here, while Zhou Wenting appeared astonished, Ye Qiu showed no change in expression.

Basically, the climate in Europe is very different from that in Huaxia, which is why many people from Huaxia find Europe’s seasons to be beautiful all year round.

In reality, this is mainly because the population in Europe is smaller and the area is larger, coupled with the fact that estates are often maintained, and such scenery is less common to behold, creating the impression that the environment in Europe and America is far more beautiful than in Huaxia.
