Chapter 1201 The Prince and Cinderella of the Present

Han Li maintained a similar speed for the rest of the journey. He stopped to rest when it rained or snowed, and stopped to take pictures when he saw similar scenes. When the Saker Falcons found deer and cattle, they went to hunt.

When he stopped or at night, Han Li still drank tea, read books, wrote papers, processed and prepared medicinal materials, and observed the rats and mice in the experiments.

Han Li passed through wastelands, mountains, canyons, beaches, lakes, cliffs, castles, and ruins along the way. Some of the scenery was really very good.

The road conditions here are much better than those on the west coast, and vehicles and pedestrians can occasionally be seen on the road.

Unfortunately, this time period is really not a suitable time and season for tourism.

A few days later, Han Li returned to Inverness, the northernmost city in Scotland.

This strategic fortress at the forefront of the war between England and Norway in history, Inverness has a large number of troops stationed there at that time and now, and many places are under military control.

This was done to prevent a sudden war. If Inverness fell, the enemy could reach Edinburgh, the capital of Scotland, without any obstacles. This would threaten the safety of many nobles and cause great losses.

As for the north of Inverness, which was the place Han Li had just visited, neither the Scottish officials at the time nor the English officials now took those places too seriously. They even expected that the two sides would choose to fight there when they had to.

Because it was very desolate and not populated, there were only some pastures and no factories. Even if it was destroyed, it would not cause much loss. Of course, they would not care if the loss was not big.

The enemy would not be so stupid as to leave the big city alone and occupy those wastelands with changeable climates, let alone put the battle site there.

After Han Li arrived in Inverness, he immediately found a very upscale hotel to stay in. After washing himself in the room, he went out for a meal.

In the evening, Han Li found a bar. He wanted to solve the problem of being a vegetarian these days.

However, the battle situation was average, and only one enthusiastic beauty from Daynfurness was willing to help Han Li bless his spiritual power for free.

Han Li returned to the hotel at 11:30 pm, checked out at 8 am and left the city to continue southward.

This time Han Li took the A9 highway on the east coast, and stopped for two days when he passed by St. Andrews, which is known as the hometown of golf.

This St. Andrews is a famous city in Scotland. The name of the city is said to come from one of the twelve apostles of a certain religion. When this saint was preaching in Europe, he was nailed to death on an X-shaped wooden frame.

Later, when the church rose, the hometown of this saint was named after him, so there was St. Andrews in the future. The X-shaped wooden frame became his symbol and also became the symbol on the Scottish flag.

Similarly, because this is the hometown of the saint, St. Andrews became the religious capital of Scotland in the Middle Ages, and also has the honorific title of "national patron saint", attracting believers from many countries to worship and make pilgrimages every year.

(In fact, St. Andrews is a city with an area similar to that of a slightly larger county town in China.)

The bishops, priests, and deacons who presided over St. Andrews Church at that time all had power far beyond that of the king. The king, queen, prince, and princess all had to try their best to curry favor with them.

The person in charge had such prestige, and the people below were also not bad. Even an ordinary priest was a person that the powerful people had to deal with carefully. When those priests faced the common people, they could decide the life and death of their family with one word.

In addition to the church, what was left when the church had the greatest power at that time was a St. Andrews University, which later became one of the best in the English education sector.

Perhaps in order to maintain the unreasonableness of the church at that time and to maintain the face of a certain saint, this St. Andrews University is still a university that does not offer any legal disciplines in later generations.

But this university still has a very high reputation. Even in this era, many powerful families in Scotland still choose to send their children to this St. Andrews University to "study".

(Later, a prince in England who often had scandals studied for a master's degree at St. Andrews University, where he met his destined princess "Kate" who was attending a fashion show.

I don't know if there was any trick, but these two people performed a modern version of the love story between the prince and the commoner in this university that made many women envious and jealous, and they wished they could replace "Kate" to play the role.)

But to be honest, St. Andrews is really good in terms of environment and facilities.

Although the place is not too big, it has everything that a big city should have. Take the hotel where Han Li stayed for example. The facilities and services inside are not worse than those in Edinburgh and London. Some places even exceed those two capitals, for example.

After Han Li checked in, for someone like him who had only practiced golf in the wild for a few days, of course he had to experience the professional golf course in the hometown of golf.

However, Han Li's goal was not fully achieved in the end. He bought a ticket and entered the golf course.

But although this place was declared as a "public land" for people, it also has a name called "Royal Golf Ancient Club."

At this time in England, ordinary people will not be allowed to touch it as long as the royal family is involved.

However, this is St. Andrews, the hometown of one of the twelve apostles, and also a pilgrimage site for believers from many countries. Therefore, the English royal family and St. Andrews did not do too much.

The best field with the best lawn in this golf course is not open to the public. Locals and believers from other countries who come to pilgrimage can play in a slightly inferior field for a while by queuing.

Tourists like Han Li who bought tickets can only experience twenty strokes in the corner of the edge, without picking up the ball by themselves, but must leave as soon as possible after playing.

When Han Li left the golf course, he turned around and shook his hands, saying in his heart.

"I must build a golf course when I have the opportunity. At that time, I can play however I want, and find a large group of beautiful women in miniskirts to wipe my sweat, bring water, and pick up balls for me."

Han Li found a similar restaurant on the street, went in and ate five steaks, a plate of pasta, and a cup of milk tea. Then he went to a very hidden bar according to what he heard from the waiter of the hotel where he stayed.

It is said that this bar is very characteristic of San Andrews, and I have not heard of such a situation in other places.
