Almighty Wizard
Chapter 1058 Ancient slate!
…
The episode of Heart of the Blue passed quickly. Seeing Qin Fang's cautious look, several people understood that Qin Fang might be interested in a certain auction item.
Several people also came back to their senses, ready to see which auction item attracted Qin Fang's attention...
You must know that there are quite a lot of exquisite items in the previous auctions, and there are many treasures that can be called important items.
At an auction, it doesn't mean that the items placed at the back are necessarily better than those in the front, but Qin Fang's expression on the front, which he hardly looked at at all last time, inevitably makes people feel that they need to pay attention.
However, this treasure that everyone was looking forward to did not appear immediately. Qin Fang simply glanced at the next few items, but showed no intention of taking action.
Until...
An ancient stone slab that looked like an extremely simple stone tablet mural was carefully lifted up, and Qin Fang's expression changed slightly.
"That's it..."
Several people around him noticed this change, and all of them were shocked at the same time. They were all looking very curiously at this stone slab that didn't seem to have much distinctive features.
"This is a treasure from ancient Babylon. It is said to be a very important magic weapon of the ancient Babylonian dynasty, possessing supreme magical power..."
"Everyone knows that among the eight wonders of the world, the Hanging Gardens of ancient Babylon is one of them. Unfortunately, it has completely disappeared. The treasure in front of you is said to come from the disappeared Hanging Gardens..."
The auctioneer immediately briefly introduced the origin of this stone slab, but it was a bit too mysterious. Almost everyone present could not help but secretly shake their heads when they heard this content.
The "supreme magic" and "coming from the hanging gardens" are just gimmicks thrown at the auction. Only God knows whether they are really what the auctioneer said...
"Shit..."
When Qin Fang heard the auctioneer's words, he scolded him in a very rude voice.
At most, others just didn't quite believe what the auctioneer said, but Qin Fang could directly determine that what the auctioneer said was nonsense.
"Is this fake?"
Tang Feifei, who was nearby, naturally heard Qin Fang's words and couldn't help but ask.
"The thing is real, but it's not what the auctioneer said..."
Regarding Tang Feifei's question, Qin Fang also shook his head and responded briefly.
"Why are you so sure it's not?"
Qu Yuancheng and Kong Er on the side also looked quite confused and couldn't help but ask.
At least this stone slab looks quite old, and some of the patterns carved on it, as introduced later in the auction, are all authentic ancient Babylonian style, and it really looks like it was meant to be like that.
"The carvings on this stone slab are at most more than a thousand years old. At that time, ancient Babylon had long been destroyed, and the Hanging Garden had long since disappeared... Do you think it can still survive?" Really?"
Qin Fang smiled and explained simply.
All antiques may be counterfeited, especially antiques that are difficult to identify and easily mistaken. You can make a lot of money by selling just one.
Ancient Babylon was one of the four ancient kingdoms. It originated from the Mesopotamia and controlled the Middle East for a long period of time. Unfortunately, it perished early. There are very few treasures that have been handed down to the world. Either it has been destroyed by the wars over the years, or it has been put away in some collections and dare not be taken out easily... In short, there are really very few ancient Babylonian artifacts circulating outside.
Things are rare and precious, and such hand-me-down items are also extremely valuable. That’s why they were auctioned this time, and the starting price was not low, reaching as much as two million Hong Kong dollars...
Of course, this is only if the lot is genuine, so after this auction, the price can basically be raised to a higher level.
According to Qin Fang's own estimation, the final transaction price should be around 4 million Hong Kong dollars.
Of course, if you meet a collector who likes to collect antiques from the ancient Babylonian period, the price will go up a bit...
But the problem is, Qin Fang can tell at a glance that this stone relief is only more than a thousand years old at most, so it obviously has nothing to do with ancient Babylon.
Ancient Babylon was destroyed as early as BC, and many buildings were destroyed in the war and no longer exist.
Although there are rumors that the Hanging Garden sank to the bottom of the sea along with the mysterious Atlantis, those rich oil kings in the Middle East are very willing to spend money, and almost all the bottom of the sea near the Persian Gulf has been destroyed. We sent people to investigate and found quite a few sunken ships, but there was no trace of Atlantis or the Hanging Gardens. We can only assume that such miracles have disappeared in the long river of history.
The Hanging Garden has disappeared, but the stone reliefs, which are only more than a thousand years old, have been handed down. The patterns on them are indeed very similar to the relief styles on some items in ancient Babylon. It is no wonder that they were judged this way.
"Are you going to take pictures?"
Seeing Qin Fang's look, he seemed a little impatient. Qu Yuancheng asked a little strangely, but he didn't pay much attention to it, he just said it smoothly.
"Of course! This thing is still good..."
Qin Fang smiled and said with certainty, seeming to have the urge to win.
"Since this thing is not from ancient Babylon, do you still plan to take a photo of it?"
Kong Er was also surprised. The things were not of the right size. It was not worth it for Qin Fang to spend such unjust money. Although they may not care about the millions of expenditures, the problem was that they would be taken advantage of. I am about to be laughed at severely...
The loss of money is a small matter, but the loss of face and face is a bigger matter!
Although Qin Fang is not considered to be a member of the Hong Kong circle, Qin Fang has a close relationship with the Qu family, and his relationship with Kong Er is also quite good.
If this matter spreads, some people will definitely start talking and go back to the roots. Qin Fang's face is not good-looking, and it will also not look good on friends and brothers like them.
"Don't worry about this, I definitely want to take a picture of this..."
It can be said that so far, apart from the three final auction items that no one knows about yet, only this stone relief is in line with Qin Fang's wishes, and he has already made up his mind to turn this stone relief into a masterpiece. If you get it, you don’t care even if it costs an astronomical figure...
Qin Fangdi is determined to get this stone relief, and he also has enough financial resources to fight for it, so naturally he will not give up.
What's more, the reason why he had to take a picture of this stone relief also had his own reasons, but this reason was only known to him. Others...
If Qin Fang's guess is correct, there will be no more than three people in the world who can see the real trouble with this stone relief.
But Qin Fang may be the only one who truly understands the meaning of this stone relief...
The reason why Qin Fang is so determined is precisely because he knows the reason behind this and the real mystery of this stone relief.
Although Qu Yuancheng and Kong Er were also very curious, they saw that Qin Fang kept silent after saying this, so they were too lazy to continue asking. Anyway, even if this thing got into their hands, it would be meaningless. At most it can only be regarded as a decorative relief.
Such things are almost meaningless to modern society. Even if many living customs of our ancestors are still retained, the things on this stone relief, even if they were thousands of years ago, are just this piece. When the stone reliefs were carved, few people really understood their meaning.
The two men stopped asking, and Qin Fang secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
If these two people continue to ask questions, Qin Fang will not know what to say. Even thinking of a more reasonable reason will be very difficult.
When he was still in Qu Yuancheng, Kong Er was the kind of person who knew the rules very well. He knew what to ask and what not to ask. If Qin Fang wanted to tell them, he would tell them naturally, but if Qin Fang felt that it was necessary Hidden and unable to inform others, it would be useless for them to question Qin Fang.
"Tell me secretly, what's the difference about this stone slab?"
Seeing Qin Fang's mysterious appearance, Tang Feifei's curiosity was aroused by Qin Fang. She left the others alone and whispered quietly into Qin Fang's ear.
"I'll tell you when I get the shot..."
Qin Fang smiled bitterly. This was obviously not the place to talk, so he decided to keep it secret for the time being and explain the reason to Tang Feifei slowly after he returned.
The secrets contained in this stone relief are really astonishing.
If he said it in public, let alone Qu Yuancheng and whether Kong Er could understand the meaning of what he said. It was already very difficult for Qin Fang to explain how he could see these tricks.
"That's okay...this is what you promised me, but don't let me go when the time comes!"
As if she was afraid that Qin Fang would forget or deliberately cheat, Tang Feifei made a point of explaining it, and judging from her playful look, she seemed to be extremely interested in the secrets hidden in this stone slab.
"Don't worry, I can't hide it from anyone but you..."
Qin Fang seemed quite helpless. Tang Feifei's words actually had no other meaning. They were just to express the curiosity she wanted to express. This did not mean that Qin Fang had really let him go.
