Treasure Hunt all over the World

After about four or five minutes, everyone's excitement calmed down a little, and the scene became a little quieter, not so noisy.

The same is true for Fraxis, he has recovered from the critical blow just now, and his pale face is also a little bloody.

When he came back to his senses, he reluctantly looked at the Scottish Buckler of Prince Charlie, then raised his head to look at Ye Tian, ​​and said with a wry smile:

"Steven, you guys are so crazy, the Scottish buckler bought for 6,500 euros has turned into a national treasure-level antique worth 15 million euros in a blink of an eye, it's not so fast to steal money! "

"Hahaha, Fraxis, you are an antique dealer, you should know what it is to pick up leaks, and to make a living in this business, you rely on your eyesight and a little bit of luck!

Fortunately, my eyesight is still good, I rarely miss it, and my luck has always been very good. I have discovered many treasures and antique works of art that have been neglected or seriously underestimated"

Ye Tian said with a light smile, not being polite at all.

"Your luck is extremely good. The rumors are true. God will always stand with you and take care of you forever. You can't see us at all, even though we are very pious!"

Fraxis said unhappily, his eyes filled with endless envy, but his tone was extremely sad.

It wasn't just him, everyone on the scene looked at Ye Tian and the Scottish Buckler of the beautiful Prince Charlie enviously, wishing they could take it for themselves.

Some of them were so jealous that their eyes were red, and they were about to bleed out!

Of course, there are also guys with ulterior motives here, with greedy eyes shining.

After chatting for a few words, Fraxis couldn't wait to say:

"Steven, you have already appraised Prince Charlie's Scottish Buckler and given an accurate valuation. All this makes me heartbroken, and I wish I could go back in time!

Is it time for you to make another promise? Help me identify other items here, so that I can get some comfort, otherwise I really don't know how to spend today! "

After the words fell, Ye Tian immediately nodded with a smile and said:

"Okay, Fraxis, since I have already nodded and agreed, I will not break my promise. I will help you identify the other goods on the booth right away. You can expect surprises!

One thing must be explained in advance, I only help you identify the three most valuable goods, not every piece of goods, the authenticity and value of the rest of the goods, I will not announce! "

"No problem, Steven, I am already very satisfied if you can help me identify three items, how dare I ask for too much?"

Fraxis nodded excitedly and replied, the happy old face almost died of laughter.

Next, Ye Tian put the Scottish buckler in his hand aside, then walked to Fraxis' booth, and began to check those cold weapons one by one.

Fraxis, who was standing on the side, stared at his every move with his eyes, and he was not willing to look away for a moment. His eyes were full of expectation, extremely hot, even a little hot.

The scene fell silent, everyone was looking at Ye Tian and those cold weapons placed on Fraxis' booth, everyone's eyes were full of curiosity and anticipation!

In just a moment, Ye Tian suddenly picked up an old knight's sword from the booth, held it with one hand and waved it lightly, then turned to look at Fraxis.

"Tell me about this knight sword, Fraxis, how did you identify this knight sword? Where did this sword come from, and how did you get it?"

Fraxis looked at the knight sword, and then expressed his judgment.

"I collected this knight's sword at a market in Provence. As we all know, Provence is a 'city of knights', and there are many such cold weapons in the antique market there.

It can be seen that the maintenance of this knight sword is not very good, there are many traces of rust on it, and the original handguard on the hilt has long since decayed and fallen off. The current handguard was installed later by me.

Judging from the shape, I think it is a medieval knight's sword. Although there are two uppercase 'W' engraved on the sword, it is impossible to tell which ancient knight's weapon it is.

That's all I can see. Now, it seems that this knight sword must have a lot of background. Steven, tell me about your appraisal conclusion. What do you think of this knight sword? "

While saying these words, Fraxis's eyes were fixed on the knight sword in Ye Tian's hand, his eyes were extremely hot, just like looking at his first love!

Ye Tian looked at the knight sword in his hand again, waved it lightly, and then said with a smile:

"First of all, make sure that this is indeed an antique weapon, not a modern handicraft, and it is an antique weapon with a lot of background, and there is a bloody story hidden behind it.

Secondly, I need to make a correction. The uppercase letters chiseled on the root of the sword body and above the cross guard are not two uppercase 'W's, but two uppercase 'V's and one uppercase 'W'.

Because of its age and poor maintenance, this knight sword has grown a lot of rust, coupled with the problem of chiseling, making these letters look like two uppercase 'W'.

Let’s talk about the shape of this knight’s sword. This kind of knight’s sword is a one-handed sword evolved from the Viking sword. It takes into account both horse and foot combat and was widely popular in the Middle Ages.

Compared with other medieval knight swords, this knight sword retains more characteristics of Viking swords, and the blade is a little longer, the middle sword spine is thicker, and the natural weight is heavier.

More importantly, the forging process of this knight's sword, as well as the decorative patterns on the blade and hilt, as well as the engraving of the characters, all have a very obvious Baltic style.

It can be said with certainty that this is a knight sword from the Baltic Sea region. From this, it can be seen that the knight who used this knight sword at the beginning should be from the Baltic Sea coast region.

Let’s take a look at the cross carved on the end of the hilt. In the Middle Ages, almost every knight’s weapon had a cross carved on it, but this cross has a special meaning”

As he said that, Ye Tian turned the knight sword in his hand upside down, and showed the cross at the end of the hilt to Fracis, and then showed it to many onlookers at the scene.

Fresisca looked at the little cross, and asked curiously:

"Steven, what's so special about this cross? I've seen chiseled crosses on other medieval knight swords, but the position is different!"

Not only Fraxis, but many onlookers at the scene were also confused, not knowing why.

Ye Tian glanced at the crowd, and then said loudly:

"If I hang this knight's sword up, with the hilt facing up and the tip of the sword facing the ground, and everyone observes the cross and this knight's sword together, I don't know what you can think of."

As he said that, Ye Tian held the knight sword with one hand, and made the shape he said.

Looking at the knight sword with the tip of the sword pointing towards the ground, many people are still at a loss as to what it means!

There were only a few people whose eyes lit up suddenly, and nodded their heads thoughtfully, as if they understood something, but they were not sure!

After a while, an unconfident voice came from the crowd of onlookers.

"Steven, combine the cross with this knight's sword, and it looks like the badge of the Knights of Swords. Is this a knight's sword of the Knights of Swords?"

"Bingo! Sir, your guess is very correct. This is a knight sword of the Knights of Swords, and it has a lot of background!"

Ye Tian raised his finger to point to the source of the voice, and said loudly with an exaggerated expression.

"What? Did I hear correctly? This is actually the knight sword of the Knights of the Sword Order, so it must be worth a lot!"

"Please, who can explain, what is the Knights of Swords organization? I have only heard of the three major knights, and there is no Knights of Swords among them!"

There was a lot of discussion at the scene, some people were stunned, some people were still confused, and the scene became very lively in an instant.

At this moment, Fraxis was completely dumbfounded, and he froze on the spot, his eyes were full of ecstasy, and he seemed a little unable to believe what he heard.

Before he came back to his senses, Ye Tianqing's clear voice came out again and reached the ears of everyone present.

"The Knights of the Sword was established in 1202, also known as the Knights of the Livonian Brothers of the Sword and the Brotherhood of the Sword. It is a knight order in the Baltic region. It is small in scale and its members are basically Germans.

In the second half of the twelfth century, the Crusader knights arrived on the coast of the Baltic Sea and tried to conquer this new land with their swords. At the same time, Germans and Catholic missionaries also arrived on the coast of the Baltic Sea.

In 1202, Bishop Alibert of Riga organized the knights along the Baltic Sea and formed the Knights of the Sword modeled on several famous knights established in Jerusalem.

Historically, as an independent military organization, the Knights of the Sword existed for a short time. In the Battle of Sule in 1236, the Knights of the Sword suffered heavy losses and almost the entire army was wiped out!

In this battle, the Lithuanians and Samogitians killed most of the knights, and the members of the Knights of the Sword who survived were merged into the famous Teutonic Knights the following year.

Since then, the Knights of the Sword was renamed the Livonian Knights and became an independent branch of the Teutonic Knights in the Baltic Sea. It disappeared with the demise of the Russian Empire until the beginning of the 20th century.

If you know the Knights of Swords, then you know that the coat of arms of the Knights of Swords is composed of a cross and a knight's sword, with the cross on top and the sword below"

Hearing this, many onlookers at the scene understood the purpose of Ye Tian asking everyone to observe the knight sword and the cross on the hilt just now!

Looking at it now, isn't the combination of the cross and the knight's sword the symbol of the Knights of Swords!

After a short pause, Ye Tian continued to say:

"After being merged into the Teutonic Knights and renamed the Livonian Knights, the original Knights of the Sword ceased to exist, and their unique coat of arms could no longer be used.

Due to the short existence time, only thirty-five years, there are very few items left by the Sword Knights in the world, each of which is a valuable antique cultural relic, including this knight sword.

Let’s take a look at this knight sword again. Its shape also has some characteristics of Viking swords, casting technology, decorative patterns, and engraved text, etc., all of which have obvious Baltic style.

In the Middle Ages, only the knights along the Baltic Sea used this kind of sword, coupled with the cross on the hilt, the answer is ready to come out, this is a sword used by the knights of the Knights of the Sword!

More importantly, these capital letters at the root of the sword body, two V and one W, are the abbreviations of Volkwin von Winterstanten, the second Grand Master of the Knights of the Sword.

Before the Knights of the Sword was destroyed, there were only two grand masters. Volkwin von Winterstanten served from 1208 to 1236, until he died in battle and died in the Battle of Sule.

The knight sword in my hand is exactly Walkwin's saber. I don't know how it has been handed down to this day, but I have to say that it is a miracle to see this knight sword today!

These few gaps on the blade indicate that it came from the battlefield. God knows how many people have died under this sword. When Walkwin died in battle, he might have held this knight sword in his hand!

This is my appraisal of this knight sword. Let me talk about the value of this knight sword. Because it is very special and rare, I value this knight sword at 6 million euros, which is not too high! "

As soon as the voice fell, the scene immediately exploded.

Everyone was completely shocked by Ye Tian's appraisal conclusion and the valuation of 6 million euros, and they all exclaimed.

Looking at Fraxis again, this guy held his head with his hands, stared at the knight sword dumbfounded, and had already fallen into a state of madness!
