Treasure Hunt all over the World

The night fell and the lights came on.

After nightfall, the small town of Tomar has faded away from the hustle and bustle of the day and gradually quieted down.

But there is only one exception, and that is the hotel where Ye Tian and the others are staying.

At this time, the hotel was brightly lit inside and outside, and the streets in front of the hotel, and even the adjacent streets, were all crowded with people, crowding these originally quiet streets, and it was very lively!

Among these people, most of them are local residents of Tomar, Portuguese who came from Lisbon, and tourists from all over the world who came here to watch the excitement.

In addition, there are also many excited media reporters carrying long guns and short cannons, as well as a large number of Portuguese police responsible for the order and security of the scene.

There was only one reason why people gathered in front of and around this hotel, and that was the Crusader knight's sword Ye Tian found and bought today, that Portuguese national treasure.

Although Ye Tian did not make an appraisal conclusion in public, after hearing Petro's retelling with tears of blood, everyone was sure that the rusty Crusader knight's sword must be worn by Alfonso the Conqueror. sword!

Another reason why everyone is so sure is Ye Tian's legendary sharp eyesight. Everyone thinks that he can never miss it!

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Portuguese Minister of Culture Vieira rushed to Tomar with several top antique art appraisal experts and archaeologists, and immediately asked to meet Ye Tian and appraise the knight sword.

Seeing the battle set up by the Portuguese government, people believe in their own judgment even more!

Not only the people gathered at the entrance of the hotel, it can be said that almost all citizens of Portugal are focusing on this Renaissance-style hotel at this time, and they are all waiting for the final appraisal result.

And in the largest meeting room of this hotel, it was already full of people, and everyone was staring at the door of the meeting room, impatiently waiting for the door to be pushed open.

The people in this meeting room are mainly Portuguese.

Among them are high-ranking government officials such as the Portuguese Minister of Culture and Deputy Minister, many religious figures, and many experts in the identification of antique works of art, archaeologists, and historians.

In addition, the Bishop of Kent and David were also in this conference room, sitting on one side of the long conference table, chatting and chatting in low voices.

but,

The focus of everyone's attention, Ye Tian, ​​and the Crusader knight sword he just bought today are not in this meeting room.

As time went by, many Portuguese people in the conference room couldn't sit still anymore, and everyone had an impatient expression.

"Bishop of Kent, David, should you call Steven? Tell him to come over quickly, we can't just keep waiting like this!"

Tomar Mayor Barbosa said eagerly, with a trace of anger hidden in his eyes, but more helplessness.

Although he found Ye Tian during the day, he failed to see the Crusader knight sword and was directly rejected by Ye Tian.

Moreover, Ye Tian set the time at night, and asked him to appreciate and appraise the knight sword with the rest of the Portuguese, so as to save many troubles.

"Don't worry, Mr. Barbosa, Steven is conducting the final appraisal to determine the origin and value of the Crusader knight's sword. I believe the results will be available soon. Please wait patiently for a while."

David said with a smile, and nodded to the other Portuguese in the meeting room.

Hearing this, all the Portuguese on the scene rolled their eyes angrily, but they were very helpless.

Their ears are almost calloused by such prevarication, but they never saw the door of the meeting room open, let alone the Crusader knight sword. Can you not feel depressed!

Then, the conference room returned to its previous state.

All the Portuguese looked anxiously at the door of the meeting room, like ants on a hot pot, but David and Bishop Kent were very relaxed, continuing to chat and chat in a low voice!

In the blink of an eye, nearly five minutes passed.

Finally, the closed door of the meeting room opened, and Ye Tian walked into the meeting room carrying a long solid wooden box, looking quite excited.

Behind him, Jason and Mathis also walked in, and they were equally excited.

Seeing Ye Tian walk into the conference room, all the Portuguese people on the scene stood up abruptly, staring at the long solid wooden box in his hand, not wanting to look away for a moment.

"Steven, you're finally here, hurry up and show off that Crusader knight's sword, and then talk about your appraisal conclusion, we're all ears!"

Portuguese Minister of Culture Vieira said, looking impatient.

Not only him, but also the other Portuguese in this meeting room, so why not!

Ye Tian looked at Vieira, then quickly scanned the crowd, and then said with a smile:

"Don't be impatient, Mr. Minister, since I have come to this meeting room, it means that everyone will be able to see the significant Crusader knight sword soon, so why worry about it!

As for my appraisal conclusion, let me put it off first, there are quite a few experts in antique art appraisal, archaeologists, and historians here, wouldn’t it be better for everyone to appraise that knight sword together.”

While talking, Ye Tian and Jason had already walked to the conference table.

They first nodded to David and the Bishop of Kent, then stood in front of the two empty seats in the middle, and did not sit down immediately.

While standing still, Ye Tian also put the long solid wooden box in his hand on the conference table, and said with a smile:

"Next I will open this box, which contains the crusader knight sword that I bought in an antique shop in Tomar this morning.

When I identified this knight sword by myself just now, I used some professional techniques to remove some of the rust marks on the knight sword in order to get a more accurate identification conclusion.

Here I can assure you that when removing the traces of rust, the knight sword was not damaged at all. This point can be seen immediately, seeing is believing.

Before appreciating and appraising this knight sword, that’s all I want to say, next, please open your eyes wide, appreciate this knight sword together, and witness the miracle together.”

With that said, Ye Tian gently opened the long solid wooden box, carefully took out the Crusader Knight Sword from the box, and placed it on the conference table.

As he said, the rust marks on this Crusader knight's sword have been removed a lot, revealing some patterns engraved on the sword body.

Especially at the intersection of the sword body and the hilt, a chiseled inscription can be vaguely seen, but it is not clear.

Following Ye Tian's movements, all the Portuguese on the scene couldn't help holding their breath, staring at the Crusader knight sword in his hand, not even daring to breathe.

When Ye Tian put the crusader knight sword on the table, the Portuguese breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed a little.

Immediately afterwards, Vieira and the other Portuguese supported the table with their hands, stretched their necks, and looked at the Crusader knight sword placed in the center of the conference table.

At the same time, Ye Tianqing's clear voice came out again and reached the ears of everyone present.

"Ladies and gentlemen, you can appreciate and appraise this crusader knight sword, here I would like to remind you a few points, so that you can better appreciate and come to appraisal conclusions faster.

First of all, please pay attention to the beautiful pattern engraved on the hilt of this Crusader knight sword. The same pattern can be seen on some antiques in the Principality of Burgundy, and it is only used by nobles.

Secondly, also on the hilt of this knight sword, there are some pedestals that were used to inlay gems. Although those red and sapphires were pried off and sold, please pay attention to the distribution of those pedestals.

There are many archaeologists and historians here, as well as experts in the identification of antique works of art. I believe everyone knows the rules of the nobles of the Principality of Burgundy in the Middle Ages when they inlaid gems on their weapons and equipment.

Through the differences in color, size, and arrangement of gemstones inlaid on a knight sword, we can see the general identity and even the title of the owner of the knight sword.

The last point, everyone can take a closer look at the intersection of the sword body and the hilt, I have removed part of the rust marks there, I am very sure, everyone will find surprises."

Following Ye Tian's words, the Portuguese people on the opposite side looked like marionettes, involuntarily looking at the places he said.

Every time these Portuguese glanced at one place, their emotions became more excited, and their eyes became brighter, shining straight, like searchlights!

After the introduction, Ye Tian had already sat down, chatting with David and the others in a low voice, while waiting for the Portuguese on the opposite side to finish their appraisal.

It only took about ten minutes, and the Portuguese antique art appraisal experts, archaeologists, and historians on the opposite side came to a unanimous appraisal opinion.

"There is no doubt that this crusader knight sword is the knight sword handed down by Henry of Burgundy to Alfonso I, the founding king of Portugal, which symbolizes the inheritance of power and has witnessed the history of the founding of Portugal.

The patterns on the hilt of this knight sword, the way gems are inlaid, especially the iris pattern at the junction of the sword body and the hilt, and the chiseled Latin 'H', all of these are the most powerful evidence for identification."

The director of the Portuguese National Museum said excitedly, his voice seemed to be trembling.

Following the announcement of the appraisal conclusion, the meeting room suddenly burst into deafening cheers and applause, resounding throughout the hotel.

When these cheers and applause came out of the hotel, it instantly detonated the people gathered at the entrance of the hotel and the surrounding streets, and even the entire Tomar.

In the blink of an eye, the small town of Tomar was completely submerged by applause and cheers like a tsunami.
