Chapter 1634 It comes from the battlefield

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 goes for Fresis, who 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 round shield of the beautiful prince Charlie, and then raised his head to look at Ye Tian, and said with a wry smile:

"Steven, you guy is so crazy, the Scottish round shield that you bought for 6,500 euros has become a national treasure worth 15 million euros in the blink of an eye, and you can't grab money so quickly!"

"Hahaha, Fresis, you're an antique dealer, you should know what's going on with leaks, and you can eat in this business with your eyesight and a bit of luck!

Luckily, my eyesight is okay, I rarely look away, and I've always been lucky enough to find a lot of treasures and overlooked or seriously undervalued antique artworks."

Ye Tian said with a chuckle, not polite at all.

"Your luck is so good, the rumor is true, God will always stand with you and always watch over you, and you can't see us people at all, even if we are very religious!"

Fresis said angrily, his eyes full of endless envy, but his tone was extremely sad.

Not only him, everyone at the scene looked at Ye Tian with envy, looking at the Scottish round shield of the beautiful prince Charlie, and hated to take it for themselves.

Some of them were even more jealous, their eyes were red, and they were about to burst blood!

Of course, there is no shortage of ill-intentioned guys here, with greedy lights shining in their eyes.

After chatting for a while, Fresis couldn't wait to say:

"Steven, this Scottish round shield of the beautiful prince Charlie, you have completed the appraisal and given an accurate estimate, all of this makes my heart ache, I can't go back in time!

Isn't it time for you to make another promise, and help me identify my other items here, so that I can get a little comfort, otherwise I really don't know how to get through this day!"

When the words fell, Ye Tian immediately smiled and nodded and said:

"Well, Fresis, since I have nodded yes, I will not break my promise, I will help you identify the other goods on the stall at once, and you can wait for the surprise!

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

"No problem, Steven, you can help me identify three goods, I'm already very satisfied, where do you dare to ask for too much"

Fresis nodded excitedly in response, and the happy old face was about to burst into laughter.

Next, Ye Tian put aside the Scottish round shield in his hand, and then walked to Fresis's stall and began to check those cold weapons one by one.

Fresis, who was standing on the side, stared at his every move with his eyes, and he was reluctant to look away for a moment, his eyes were full of anticipation, extremely hot, and even a little hot.

The scene was quiet, everyone looked at Ye Tian and the cold weapons placed on Fresis's booth, everyone's eyes were full of curiosity and expectation!

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

"Tell me about this knight's sword, Fresis, how did you identify it, where did it come from, and how did you get it?"

Fresis looked at the knight's sword, and then spoke his judgment.

"This knight's sword was collected by me at a bazaar in Provence, which is known to be a 'city of knights' and where there are many of these cold weapons in antique bazaars.

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

Judging by the shape, I think it was a knight's sword from the Middle Ages, and although the sword is engraved with two capital 'W', it is impossible to tell which knight's weapon it was in ancient times.

That's all I can see, and now it seems that this knight's sword must have a lot to offer, Steven, tell me about your conclusion, what do you think of this knight's sword?"

While saying this, Fresis's eyes were firmly fixed on the knight's sword in Ye Tian's hand, and his eyes were extremely hot, as if he was looking at his first love!

Ye Tian looked at the knight's sword in his hand again, and waved it lightly, before he smiled and said:

"First of all, I am sure that this is indeed an antique weapon, not a modern craft, and it is a very well-known antique weapon, and there is a bloody story behind it.

Secondly, I would like to correct that the capital letters engraved on the root of the sword and above the cross gauntlet are not two capital "ws", but two capital "Vs" and one capital "W".

Due to its age and poor maintenance, this knight's sword has a lot of rust on it, and the engraving process makes the letters look like two capital 'w's.

Talking about the shape of this knight's sword, this knight's sword is a one-handed sword developed from the Viking sword, which is a one-handed sword that fights both on horse and on foot, and was widely popular in the Middle Ages.

Compared to other medieval knight swords, this knight sword retains more Viking sword features, and the sword body is a little longer, the middle spine is thicker, and the natural weight is heavier.

What's more, the forging of this knight's sword, as well as the ornamental patterns on the body and hilt, as well as the engraving of the text, are very Baltic in style.

It is safe to say that this is a knight's sword from the Baltic region, so it can be seen that the knight who used this knight's sword in the first place must have come from the Baltic Sea coast.

Look at the cross engraved on the end of the hilt, in the Middle Ages almost every knight's weapon was engraved with a cross, but this cross had a special meaning"

As he spoke, Ye Tian turned the knight's sword in his hand upside down, displayed the cross at the end of the hilt in front of Fresis's eyes, and then showed it to the many onlookers at the scene.

Fresica looked at the little cross, and then asked curiously:

"Steven, what's so special about this cross? I've seen crosses engraved on other medieval knights' swords, but in a different position!"

Not only Fresis, but many onlookers at the scene were also confused and did not know why.

Ye Tian glanced at everyone at the scene, and then said loudly:

"If I hang this knight's sword with the hilt facing up and the tip of the sword facing the ground, and everyone looks at the cross and this knight's sword together, I don't know what can come to mind."

As he spoke, Ye Tian held the knight's sword in one hand and put on the shape he was talking about.

Looking at this knight's sword with the tip of the sword on the ground, many people were still confused and didn't know what it meant!

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

A moment later, a not-so-confident voice came from the crowd of onlookers.

"Steven, if you look at the cross and this knight's sword together, it looks like the insignia of the Knights of the Sword, is this a knight's sword of the Knights of the Sword?"

"Bingo!, sir, you guessed very right, this is a knightly sword of the Knights of the Sword Order, and it has a great origin!"

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

"What? I heard you right? This is actually the knightly sword of the Knights of the Sword Order, and it must be worth a lot!"

"Please, can anyone explain what kind of organization the Knights of the Sword is? I've only heard of the three major knights, and there are no Knights of the Sword in them!"

There was a sound of discussion at the scene, some people were stunned, some people were still confused, and the scene instantly became very lively.

At this time, Fresis was completely stupid, and froze in place, his eyes full of ecstasy, and he seemed to be a little unable to believe what he had heard.

Before he could come back to his senses, Ye Tianqing's voice came out again, reaching the ears of everyone on the scene.

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

In the second half of the twelfth century, Crusader knights reached the Baltic coast and tried to conquer this new land with their swords, along with Germanic and Catholic missionaries.

In 1202, the Bishop of Riga, Alibert, organized the knights of the Baltic coast and formed the Order of the Sword, modeled after several famous knightly orders established in Jerusalem.

Historically, as an independent military organization, the Order of the Sword existed for a short time, and in the Battle of Soule in 1236, the Knights of the Sword suffered a heavy defeat and were almost wiped out!

In this battle, the Lithuanians and Samogithians killed most of the Order's men, and the surviving members of the Order of the Sword were incorporated into the famous Teutonic Order the following year.

The Order of the Sword was renamed the Livonian Order, and became an independent branch of the Teutonic Order in the Baltic until the beginning of the 20th century, when it disappeared with the fall of the Russian Empire.

If you know about the Knights of the Sword, then you know that the coat of arms of the Knights of the Sword consists of a cross and a knight's sword, the cross on the top and the sword below"

Hearing this, many onlookers at the scene understood that Ye Tian had just asked everyone to observe the purpose of the knight's sword and the cross on the hilt!

Look at it at this time, the combination of that cross and the knight's sword is not the symbol of the Sword Knights!

After a pause, Ye Tian continued:

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

Due to the short time of existence, only thirty-five years, the Knights of the Sword have very few surviving items, each of which is an antique artifact of great value, including this knight's sword.

Let's take a look at this knight's sword, the shape also has some characteristics of the Viking sword, the casting process, the ornamental pattern, and the engraved text, etc., all with an obvious Baltic style.

In the Middle Ages, only knights on the Baltic coast used this kind of sword, and with the cross on the hilt, the answer was clear: a knightly sword of the Order of Sword!

More importantly, the capitalized letters at the base of the sword, two Vs and one W, are the initials of Wokwin von Wintersten, the second Grand Master of the Order of the Sword.

Before the fall of the Order of the Sword, there were only two Grand Masters, Wokwyn von Winterstanten, who served from 1208 to 1236 until he died at the Battle of Souler.

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

These gaps in the blade of the sword indicate that it came from the battlefield, God knows how many people have died under this sword, and when Walkwin died on the battlefield, he may have this knight's sword in his hand!

This is my appraisal of this knight's sword, and now I will talk about the value of this knight's sword, because it is extremely special and rare, I value this knight's sword at six million euros, which is only low!"

The voice fell, and the scene immediately exploded.

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

Look at Fresis again, this guy is holding his head with both hands, looking at the knight's sword in amazement, he has fallen into a state of madness! Fupin Chinese
