206 episodes. That’s enough for me.
North Sea.
It is located in the northern part of continental Europe on the Atlantic coast, bordered by England, Norway, the Netherlands, Denmark, Germany, Belgium and France.
If I had to compare it, would it be similar to the West Sea?
This is how South Korea faced North Korea, China, Japan and its seas.
And, oddly enough, such a place is rich in fishing grounds.
The North Sea was also famous for the world’s three largest fishing grounds, especially Daegu, before oil and natural gas were discovered.
“Well······”
When I put the flesh of the roasted cod set on the table in my mouth, I couldn’t get enough of it.
In a bad way rather than in a good sense.
After all, it seems that the rumor that the British are not very good at cooking is not wrong.
“Edward, what’s wrong with your expression? Isn’t this enough?”
At Jackie’s words, I shook my head.
This is a pretty famous seafood restaurant, but the grilled cod was not at all.
The fish is above average when grilled, but is it because you eat only delicious things every day that your taste buds are becoming more demanding?
Still, I told Jackie that cod wasn’t eating like this.
“Let’s go eat cod soup together later. Because that’s even more awesome.”
Again, cod is soup rather than grilled.
The cool soup and moist, thick flesh are nothing compared to this roughly grilled dish.
“Daegutang? Is it fish soup?”
“Yes, haha. Soup, soup.”
When they say soup is soup, that’s how it sounds.
The soup is kind of thick, but the stew also feels like a stew.
After all, English is still difficult and seems like a task in my life that I have to learn constantly.
“Where are you going after eating?”
“I’m back on land after a month, so let’s play a little bit today. No matter how comfortable a yacht is, it doesn’t seem like we’re all tired because we’re only on the boat, don’t we?”
At my question, Jackie, Lucy, and Yoohyeon all smile.
Yeah, everyone’s tired of circling the North Sea.
Besides, yachting has already been done when looking for oil fields in Nova Scotia, Canada.
No matter how good something is, if you do it many times, you will get tired of it.
“Then let’s go to the British Museum!”
huh? Museum?
Not Tower Bridge or Big Ben?
I was going to go see landmarks lightly, but the answer was unexpected because it was a museum.
“There are a lot of archaeological relics, and there is a library inside, so you can read books to your heart’s content.”
“Well, that’s because it’s a tourist attraction…”
Museums aren’t to my taste.
Wherever Jackie goes, go.
“Then let’s go.”
As soon as I left the restaurant, Jackie came out and put her arms around Lucy and dragged her.
When we arrived at the British Museum, there was a huge crowd of people everywhere.
True to its name as one of the world’s three largest museums, it is a natural sight as more than 6 million tourists visit it every year.
Qualitatively, Jackie said, it’s better than the Louvre, one of the top three museums.
But from my point of view, having never been there, I had no choice but to put my tongue to the scale of the British Museum.
Is it true that it is the British that dominated the world?
True to the name of the British Empire, it is a collection of cultural assets collected from all over the world.
“Jackie, where are you going to look?”
“Let’s go to the library first. The exhibits don’t run away.”
The book speaks as if it were running away.
If someone removes it first, you won’t be able to see it.
‘It’s a little bit like coming all the way here and looking at boring applications…’
Contemplating, I said to Jackie.
“Jackie, I and Yoohyeon will look around the exhibition hall first.”
“Is that so? Actually, there is a book I want to read, so I’m in a bit of a hurry.”
“I’m going with Lucy and reading slowly.”
Lucy is just as educated as Jackie.
The two always had a book in their bag and would open it whenever and wherever they had time.
It’s amazing to see that reading is a part of life.
“Let’s go too.”
I headed to the Korean Pavilion first with Yoohyeon.
As I was walking, I thought to myself.
I’ve never been to a museum in Australia, and it’s my first time visiting a museum in a foreign country.
I heard that Korea has countless cultural assets that have been looted in the past.
By the way,
‘I’m not very interested.’
Perhaps it is because there are no famous relics such as the Rosetta Stone of Egypt, the Elgin Marble of Greece, and the Moai Statue of Chile.
There are a lot of branches in the Korean Pavilion, but there were no cultural assets that could attract attention because the sound of ‘wah’ came out.
Proof of this is that interest in it is quickly lost because it is not a cultural property that you have seen in textbooks or in the news.
As much as we know, they are not famous cultural properties, so we cannot recognize how important and how valuable they are.
‘As Jackie said, I must study for sure.’
You’re talking about Treasure Hunter like this.
Without knowledge as the basis, it is unlikely that you will be able to know its value even if you have it in front of you by relying on your abilities.
‘I was very lucky to have found the treasure of the pirates in Madagascar.’
Because the things there were treasures like gold ingots, silver ingots, and gold coins.
If it was on the relics side, it might have been regarded as rubbish.
After leaving the Korean Pavilion, I glanced around the other places to look at the exhibits, but I couldn’t find anything that looked interesting.
In the movies, there are some hidden secrets among the museum exhibits, but the reality is the reality.
Eventually, my steps headed towards the library where Jackie was.
The library reading room was a dome-shaped structure, and the books were densely packed on the wall.
Jackie and Lucy were having a conversation with an old man with some books in their hands.
“Jackie, Lucy.”
When I call, they look at me.
At the same time, the old man turned his head.
His thick beard is impressive instead of his hair being stripped.
Not only the mustache and beard, but also the cheeks and sideburns were covered with beards.
It was as if all the hair had been pulled into the beard.
“Are you here quickly?”
Jackie greeted me and folded his arms.
And introduced me to the old man.
“Jerome, this is my boyfriend, Edward Jean.”
It’s definitely not something we knew in advance.
In that short time, they got close enough to call their name.
“I’ve met someone, yes, jeep.”
Why do you have a bad taste?
That small act made me wary of the old man.
“Jackie, who is this?”
“This is Jerome Grossbane. There was a book I was looking for, and he found it.”
Jackie said, showing the book in his hand.
The title consists of words you see for the first time.
A scientific word that is difficult to guess.
It seemed to be a book about something profound.
“Thanks for helping Jackie, Mr. Grosbane.”
“Heh heh, no. It was a good time chatting with the pretty lady. Ms. Jacqueline’s academic knowledge and insight are abundant for her age.”
Jerome smiled and looked at Jackie.
It’s not a sly or sly face, but a happy and proud face.
why do you have eyes like that
The eyes of adults saying, ‘If you introduce our child, it would be perfect’.
It was just the way the old man looked at Jackie now.
“Then we’ll be busy, so let’s go.”
I grabbed Jackie’s hand and hurriedly left the place.
Instinct continued to do so.
Don’t be with that old man.
“Edward, where are you going all of a sudden?”
“Something has happened. I think I need to get back to the hotel soon.”
Lucy interrupted my words and asked.
“CEO, what’s going on? I didn’t contact you otherwise.”
Oh my, Lucy.
Why are you not paying attention here?
“Ah, it’s because the call came directly from Henry.”
“Okay. Then let’s go.”
Lucy also took Jackie’s book and put it on the cart being pushed by the librarian.
As we were about to leave, Jerome told us.
“It’s a pity to part ways like this, but if you’re going to stay in London for a few days, call me when you have time. I want to invite you to my house and have a meal. Here’s my business card.”
I accepted his business card and replied roughly.
I never plan to go.
Obviously, if you go to that old man’s house, there will be a grandson or a young man similar to him.
“Yes, I will contact you when I have time.”
“Heh heh, I’ll wait.”
No, don’t wait.
***
‘It’s not funny…’
What kind of fate is this?
As soon as I got back to the hotel, I got a real call from Henry.
Information about the person who will reach the Queen of England.
But that’s him!
“Henry, who are you?”
– I said Jerome Grosbane.
It’s the old man I met at the library.
What kind of fate is this?
I don’t know how the Queen of England’s personal network was wasting time in the library like ordinary people.
“Anyone else?”
-If you want to be single with the queen, you must be a royal family or a noble equivalent to that. The only line I touched is him. The British Prime Minister would rather have more diverse contact routes, but didn’t you say no to that?
No.
This work must begin with the Queen.
“Okay. I’ll see you.”
-Then I’ll send you the contact information on Lucy’s side.
“No, I already have contact information. We met by chance while sightseeing.”
I told Henry about the meeting at the library.
-I heard that he was not aristocratic and had a modest and civic side, but I didn’t know he was going to do it like a normal person.
“If you know anything about him, please tell me more.”
-Personal information is all there is. There is very little outside activity. Instead, the background is awesome.
According to Henry, they are one of the few dukes in England.
Westminster.
This word for one of the administrative divisions of London is the name of the family.
Unlike the Rothschilds, the family name and surname are different.
-The Dukes of Westminster are the wealthiest of the noble families. In terms of asset value, it is the third richest place in the UK.
“Is it inherited property?”
– That’s right. England inherited the wealth and position of the nobility.
There are real nobles like that in the world these days.
I thought it was just an illusion because there were nobility and royalty in England, but you are the third richest person in the UK.
-Jerome Grosbane is the 5th Duke and Chairman of the Grossbane Real Estate Group. Rich landowners are known to own more than 350,000 pyeong of land in the UK.
You set up a real estate company with the land you inherited.
Blessed bloodline indeed.
I can understand why the British love horse racing.
You acknowledge your bloodline like this, but you can’t dislike bloodline sports.
‘This is bigger than I thought.’
I pulled out a crumpled business card from my pocket and unfolded it.
I was thinking of throwing it away, but I still kept it.
-Edward, Jerome Grosbane is said to be Elizabeth II’s right-hand man, so if you coax him well, you’ll get what you want.
You want Jackie to get an eye-catching inspiration?
For a moment, I wonder if I should slap everything and let Robert Bardock do what he intended.
But then he shook his head.
I’m not sure if he’s really looking into my girl.
‘Let’s meet again and judge.’
What would it be like to be a duke and the third richest person in the UK?
Yes, gold spoons.
They did not achieve that wealth and fame on their own.
“Henry.”
– I’m listening.
“It’s not me who’s going to gossip, but on the contrary, I’ll have to do it there.”
-Hmm, it must have been quite successful in the North Sea?
“Yes. Brent oil, one of the world’s three major oil types, will come under our all-mining management in the future, so please look forward to it.”
That’s enough for me.
