The Treasure Hunt of an Antique Dealer

Speaking of studying, Charlie is already an adult. In the past few years, she was basically a private tutor teaching. Now sometimes she also goes to Columbia University to listen to classes.

　　 When I went to Columbia to attend classes, I just wanted to feel the atmosphere of university, because for Americans, if they hadn't experienced the atmosphere of university education, it seemed that there would be something missing in life.

　　 But Charlize Theron never thought about going to college honestly, because there was no need at all, and going to college was almost a waste of time for her.

　　 The education that Charlie enjoys is suitable and unique for her, and is not a model for cultivating traditional social elites.

　　 Those social elites in the traditional sense will only serve her family in the end. She learns how to deal with those people and knows how to control those people.

　　 Besides, she is already a celebrity, a celebrity, and she is not the kind of brainless.

　　 This life is destined to be glamorous, and become the focus of everyone, and it is not guilty to be a quiet student in school.

　　According to the words of Nicole and Jenny, that is: "You can be a princess with a deep heart and a noble appearance. The main task is to accompany your brother. It will be almost the same for a lifetime. How happy are you!"

　　Following Zhang Nan, the result of a long period of time is: Charlize Theron now has some research on the history and cultural relics of the world.

　　 I can’t ask her to engage in finance, but at best she knows how to manage money.

　　 When it comes to art and cultural relics, especially the European part, not only is he more proficient, if he is not a star, he will be able to rely on this industry for food in the future.

　　 But this person is not a computer. It is normal even if he is a person who is proficient in history, is engaged in antiques and cultural relics, forgets the specific background of an important historical figure, or even forgets completely.

　　 Memory, if you don’t remember that paragraph, you will forget it.

　　 I can't remember something for a short time. This is normal. Maybe I will remember it clearly after a while.

　　 This was said by Zhang Nan, and Charlize Theron immediately "counter-attacked" and said: "It's normal to not think of it at once, and I am not a god.

　　 In ancient Europe, this great emperor and that emperor have a lot of hairs. What are the first, second, seventy j, q, k, a, I am not as good as you, so I don’t remember it all..."

　　 Good fellow, Zhang Nan said to her, this contingent of people returned a bunch of them.

　　 It's okay to fight innocently, it's also a minor life adjustment.

j, q, k, Zhang Nan sometimes used to refer to "11, 12, 13" in jokes. From ancient times to the present, many European kings have ranked "tenth." Follow the jokes learned from my brother.

　　 said too quickly, took a breath, and said: "I remember, the Charlemagne you mentioned should be the king of Frank in the Middle Ages, who founded the Holy Roman Empire in Germany.

　　We found the silver coins issued by him in Austria. The precious metal currency weight system that was popular before the Napoleonic Wars in Europe should have been invented by his Laozi.

　　 Damn, which part of the 9th century this guy should be... can't think of it! "

　　 looked a little annoyed, it was the state of "The words are on the lips, but I just can't remember them." The more I think about it, the more I don't understand it.

　　 Zhang Nan smiled, "It's okay if you don't remember it, whoever remembers that if it's okay, I have forgotten a bit, and I can't even remember what the silver coin issued by Charlemagne looks like."

　　 Others are in a state of crazy thinking, if you know the answer, then tell her.

　　 If you don’t know, it’s best to interrupt.

　　 I didn't immediately return to the tunnel to see the golden train at this time, so I felt very frank.

　　 Li Panfeng saw the two quarreling, and had already placed the sword box on the folding coffee table. Zhang Nan picked up the one-handed long sword from the box, and was too lazy to put on the gloves and straight out the sword.

　　 Isn’t it Charlemagne’s sword? I even grabbed Pharaoh’s dagger with my hands.

　　 There is almost no rust on the steel sword body, and it is very well preserved. Things that are more than a thousand years ago must be inherited in order, otherwise it is impossible to have this state, it is very rare.

　　Typical Western knight sword shape, the entire hilt is made of gold with the same sword grid and the sword blade.

　　 The sword is quite large, with intricate patterns carved on both sides. Upon closer inspection, it can be distinguished that it is a mark of a clan emblem. I don’t recognize it.

　　 Since ancient times, there have been so many emblems of European countries, families, and organizations as stars, and Zhang Nan has not spent much time on it.

　　 If you don’t recognize or remember, don’t waste your energy and time on this.

　　 The hilt of the sword is decorated with a few diagonal cross patterns, and the blank part of the pattern is densely covered with granular anti-skid patterns knocked out by hand. The hand feels very good and the stick feel is very high.

　　 The sword grid is level and quite long, each with a lion head shape at each end, and a red gemstone with a diameter of one centimeter is inlaid on each of the two sides of the sword grid.

　　 I was too lazy to tell whether the gem was ruby, red spinel or garnet, so I held a long sword and threw a few Western-style sword flowers, feeling that the weight and length of the sword were quite suitable for me.

　　Although he was interrupted, Charlize Theron on the side was still thinking about Charlemagne. Seeing that his brother was playing swordsmanship there with a murder sword, he quickly retreated two steps, probably because he was afraid of being injured by mistake.

　　 This is not a mere decorative sword. She has seen Zhang Nan test the blade with her fingers just now, it looks very sharp.

Zhang Nan glanced at the back of Zha Li, followed the sword flower with his right hand, and threw the sword behind her head in a weird posture: the arm on the right hand is almost parallel to the shoulder, the forearm is 90 degrees upward, and the palm of the hand is almost Moving forward, the blade of the one-handed long sword lay horizontally behind his head.

　　 said to Charlie: "So not confident in me?"

　　 Charlize Theron nodded fiercely there. It was so shameless and a little bit shocked.

　　 "Look, what does my action look like?"

　　 The girl frowned and thought for a while, and said: "Fool."

　　 Zhang Nan tilted his head, speechless.

I ended the awkward shape of my right hand, picked up the scabbard, put the sword away, and said, "Didn’t you have played poker with Alyosha and others. I didn’t recognize such a classic shape just now. I was still shouting j just now. , Q, k, a."

Charlize Theron is always extremely smart, or he was trained to be a Westerner who is proficient in history. After a few rounds of his mind, he said: "Each character playing card represents a person, and the king of hearts should be Charles the Great, eh. , Charlemagne, the same person."

　　 Many countries do not use English letters for the name of playing cards. The two have been talking in Chinese. For the name of playing cards, they used Huaxia’s customary name.

　　 Many people have played cards for a lifetime, but they don’t know that j, q, and k in the playing cards in their hands are the abbreviations of jack (knight), queen (queen), and king (king) respectively.

　　 I don’t even know that the characters printed on these 12 cards have their origins in Western history and culture, and they represent a certain person in history.

　　 For example, four k's represent four kings, or people who have the power of kings.

　　 The one on the king of spades is David, the first official king of the ancient Jewish-Israeli Kingdom, and the one with a big beard on the playing cards.

If you think the image on the playing cards is not good, you can refer to the sculpture by the great Italian Renaissance sculptor and painter Michelangelo, which is considered to be one of the most boastful male human statues in the history of Western art. The image of David collected in the Academy of Fine Arts in Florence, Italy.

　　 Red peach k represents the Carolingian King Charles the Great of the Frankish Kingdom. This has the nickname "Father of Europe", but he is well-known in Europe and has almost no reputation outside.

　　As for the character on the square k, although he ranks third on the card, his fame is greater in the Eastern world than the first two combined, because the person is called Gaius Julius Caesar!

The one on Club K is even more amazing, but if you want to say that the king on the four cards (Caesar is not the king, but it is almost the same.) Who can play the best, that 100% is his Macedonian King Alexander III, who is famous King Alexander.

　　 In a short period of 13 years, it first unified the entire territory of Greece, then opened a plug-in to sweep the Middle East, and occupied the entire territory of Egypt without a single soldier, and then smashed the Persian Empire.

After 　　, the army drove to the Indus River Basin, and the world’s four ancient civilizations occupied three of them, conquering the entire land area of ​​approximately 5 million square kilometers.

　　 Alexander the Great has almost beaten the countries and regions on the known land of his time. It is said that he is still unbeaten.

　　 Had it not been for the Himalayas and the Pamirs, this Alexander, who has always been stunned around the world, might have the idea to visit China.

Then...

　　 Even if he and his army can live through the snow-capped mountains, through the desert Gobi, and then pass the control area of ​​a bunch of sturdy nomads.

　　 It is not necessary for China to organize a coalition army. The remaining army in Alexander will definitely be beaten by the Qin army who has completed the Shang Yang Reform and carried out the military meritorious system!

　　 It's a pity that there is no such thing as history. This Alexander died too early.

　　 is a bit far away, but Zhang Nan thinks far away.

　　 Then another battery car drove out, with Jerry Gooden Cowan sitting above it.

　　 After getting out of the car, he hurried over and said to Zhang Nan, "Boss, another major discovery.

　　 Now that we have opened a dozen boxes, we have discovered many relics of Poland, ancient German countries, and the Frankish kingdom. "

As he spoke, he pointed to the long sword across the coffee table, and said: "This Charlemagne sword is not inferior to the French holy sword. I remember in the Middle Ages, the Germans and the French were still in their respective hands. Charlemagne's holy sword had a fight."

　　 Jerry didn't bother to talk about the gold bricks. He had seen too much before. Like Rick Becker, he spent more time with the gold bricks than Zhang Nan.

　　 "What kind of fight?"

　　 Zhang Nan sat down again, this is to wait a while to enter the tunnel, this has Hexi sunshine, do not want to go to the local mouse so soon.

　　 motioned to Jerry to sit down too, some of them were chairs.

　　 The boss is not in a hurry, and Jerry Gooden Cowan is naturally not in a hurry.

　　 sat down and said, "It is because of the authenticity of the Valius sword placed in the Louvre, one of the three holy swords in Europe.

　　 The Germans said that Vajos was in their hands, and the French said that they were authentic..."

　　 The three great holy swords and the great holy spears in Europe. Zhang Nan has never cared about these famous things, because they all have a relationship with Brother Su's family, making one more mysterious than the other.

　　When I think of the Holy Sword, I think of a scene from an old American cartoon that my nephew loved to watch in my previous life. The prince held the long sword high and shouted: "Please give me strength! Seaman!"

Notice! The voice must rhyme, and the final name must be pronounced as a deep "Heiman", which is powerful.

　　 So before Zhang Nan had only heard the saying that there were three holy swords in Europe, but he didn't understand it at all and didn't bother to understand it.

　　 I will understand what Jerry said.

　　 Blaeus, in the epic narrative poem "Roland's Song", the sword of Charlemagne, King of the Carolingian dynasty of the Frankish Kingdom.

　　 is also known as "Sword of Gold", "Sword of Joy", "Sword of Earth"...

　　 Anyway, how did the praise come, and it is also rumored that the color of the sword body will change 30 times a day, even more powerful than the chameleon!

　　 As for why it is called the Holy Sword, it is said that its blade is the tip of the Longinus’ spear that pierced Brother **** after he was injured.

　　Since the Gun of Longinus is a sacred object of Christianity, it is said that those who hold it can sweep Europe and rule the world!

　　 Charlemagne really ruled over half of Europe, but there is no record in the history books that he used Blaeus on the battlefield.

　　 Whether that holy sword is a shocking weapon or a golden ornament, I am afraid that only Charlemagne himself knows.

　　 The Frankish kingdom was divided into three in AD 843, which, in short, became the later Germany, France, and Italy.

　　 This Germany and France had been to blame for Vaius in the Middle Ages, but not many people know about it now.

　　 The French have always believed that the blame Vaius in their hands is authentic ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ or one of the treasures that must appear in the coronation ceremony of the French king.

　　 The sword is a symbol of French royal power. The kings of all the ages of France must hold this sword to be able to make portraits. For example, the portrait paintings of Louis 14, 15, 16 have it.

　　 The Germans were upset about this, and they also had Vaius in their hands, but the order of inheritance was not as clear as the Frenchman's handle.

　　After a few centuries of fighting, the Germans found it boring and didn't bother to wrestle with the French.

　　Or the French didn't bother to pay attention to the Germans who were like hillbillies at that time, and felt boring while arguing.

　　 After hearing what Jerry said, Zhang Nan took out the blame Vaius again and got up, "Holy sword?"

　　 held it with his right hand, raised it high, thinking about the game that my nephew had played with the broomstick in his previous life, and said it gently.

Um?

　　 Nothing happened.

　　 Holy Sword?

　　 put down the hand that raised the sword, and said to Jerry: "I don't know if it is Charlemagne's saber, but this sword is definitely not a holy sword, so I can brush it smoothly."

Jerry Gooden Cowan didn’t know that the boss was okay just now, and he didn’t pay attention to any real problems. Instead, he said: "If you use it well, boss, then this sword might have been used by Charlemagne. ?"

　　 "Why?" What is the connection here? Zhang Nan was puzzled.

　　 "Because as far as I know, he is about the same height as you."
