Chapter 2256： Happy town

The night is low and the lights are beginning to come on.

After nightfall, the small city of Tomar, has faded 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 stayed.

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 crowded with people, crowding these originally quiet streets and making them very lively!

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

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

There is only one reason why people gather in and around the entrance of this hotel, and that is the Crusader Knight's sword that Ye Tian found and bought today, the treasure of Portugal.

Although Ye Tian did not give a public appraisal conclusion, after hearing the retelling of Petro’s cry of blood and tears, everyone was sure that the rusty crusader knight sword must be worn by Alfonso the Conqueror. sword!

Another reason for everyone to be so sure is that Ye Tian's sharp vision has been spread. Everyone believes that he will never miss it!

At 3 o'clock in the afternoon, the Portuguese Minister of Culture Vieira brought several top antique art appraisal experts and archaeologists to Tomar on the fire, and upon arrival, he asked to meet with Ye Tian and appraise the knight sword.

Seeing this battle put forth by the Portuguese government, people have even more confidence in their own judgment!

Not only these people gathered at the entrance of the hotel, it can be said that almost all the citizens of Portugal, the focus of attention at this time is on this Renaissance-style hotel, and they are all waiting for the final identification 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, waiting impatiently for the door to be opened.

The people in this conference 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 antique art appraisal experts, archaeologists, and historians.

In addition, the Bishop of Kent and David were also in this conference room, sitting at the side of the long conference table, chatting in a low voice, laughing and chatting.

However, the focus of everyone's attention, Ye Tian, ​​and the Crusader Knight Sword he just bought today, were not in this conference room.

As time went by, the many Portuguese in the conference room could no longer sit still. Everyone looked impatient.

"Bishop of Kent, David, should you call Steven? Ask him to come here quickly. We can't keep us waiting like that!"

Tomar Mayor Barbosa said eagerly, with a hint of anger in his eyes, but more helpless.

Even though he found Ye Tian during the day, he could not see the Crusader Knight Sword, so Ye Tian directly rejected it.

Moreover, Ye Tian set the time at night, so that he and the rest of the Portuguese could appreciate and appraise the knight sword, so as to save time.

"Don't worry, Mr. Barbossa, Steven is currently conducting the final appraisal to determine the origin and value of the Crusader Knight Sword. I believe that there will be results 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 irritably, but they were very helpless.

Such prevarication, their ears are almost callused, but they never see the meeting room door open, let alone see the crusader knight sword, can you not feel depressed!

Next, the meeting room resumed its previous state.

All the Portuguese looked anxiously at the door of the conference room, like ants on a hot pot, but David and the Bishop of Kent were very relaxed, and they continued to whisper, laugh and chat!

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

Finally, the closed door of the conference room opened, and Ye Tian walked into the conference room with a long solid wood box, looking quite excited.

Behind him, Jason and Matisse also followed, and they were equally excited.

Seeing Ye Tian walking into the meeting room, all the Portuguese stood up, staring at the long solid wood box in his hand, and were reluctant to look away for a moment.

"Steven, you guy is finally here, hurry up and show that crusader knight sword, let's talk about your identification conclusion, we will listen to you!"

Vieira, the Portuguese Minister of Culture, said that he couldn't wait.

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

Ye Tian looked at Vieira, then quickly glanced at the crowd, then smiled and said:

"Don't worry, Mr. Minister, since I have come to this conference room, it means that everyone will be able to see that significant Crusader knight sword immediately, so why bother!

As for the conclusion of my appraisal, let me sell it first. There are many antique art appraisal experts, archaeologists, and historians. Wouldn’t it be better for everyone to identify the knight sword together?”

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

They first nodded and greeted David and the Bishop of Kent, then stood in front of the two empty seats in the middle, and did not immediately take their seats.

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

"Next I will open this box. It contains the Crusader Knight Sword I bought in an antique shop in Tomar this morning.

When I identified this knight sword by myself, 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 guarantee that when removing the rust marks, the knight sword did not damage the knight sword at all. You can see this right away, and seeing is believing.

Before appreciating and appraising this knight sword, I have to say so much. Next, please keep your eyes open, appreciate this knight sword together, and witness the miracle together."

With that, Ye Tian gently opened the long solid wood box and 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 sword have been removed a lot, revealing some of the patterns engraved on the sword.

Especially at the intersection of the sword body and the hilt, you can vaguely see a carved inscription, 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 this crusader knight sword on the table, these Portuguese people took a breath and relaxed a little.

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

At the same time, Ye Tianqinglang's voice came out again and reached the ears of everyone on the scene.

"Ladies and gentlemen, you can appreciate and appraise this crusader knight sword. Here I want to remind you a few points so that you can better appreciate it and draw the appraisal conclusion 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 antique relics of the Principality of Burgundy, and it is restricted to nobles.

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

There are many archaeologists and historians, as well as experts in the identification of antique art. I believe everyone knows the rules of the nobles of the Burgundy Duchy in the Middle Ages when setting gems on their weapons.

Through the differences in the colors, sizes, and arrangement of the gems inlaid on a knight sword, we can see the general identity of the owner of the knight sword, and even the title.

Finally, you 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 that you will have a pleasant surprise."

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

Whenever these Portuguese glances over, their emotions become more excited, their eyes become brighter, and the light shines straight, just like a searchlight!

Ye Tian, ​​who had finished the introduction, had already sat down, chatting with David and the others in a low voice, while waiting for the identification of the Portuguese on the other side.

It only took about ten minutes that several Portuguese antique art appraisers, archaeologists, and historians on the opposite side came to a consistent appraisal opinion.

"There is no doubt that this crusader knight sword is the knight sword passed on to the founding king of Portugal Alfonso I from the'Henry of Burgundy', which symbolizes the inheritance of power and witnesses the history of the founding of Portugal.

The pattern on the hilt of this knight sword, the way the gems are inlaid, especially the iris pattern at the junction of the sword body and the hilt, and the engraved Latin ‘H’, all of which are the most powerful identification basis."

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

With the announcement of this appraisal conclusion, this meeting room suddenly opened up like a pot, and immediately burst into deafening cheers and applause, resounding throughout the hotel.

When these cheers and applause came out of the hotel, they 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 overwhelmed by the applause and cheers like a tsunami.
