Chapter 1630 takes retreat as advance
What Ye Tian was holding in his left hand was a famous Scottish round shield, with a diameter of about fifty-five centimeters, and the shield body was made of all-metal, which was quite heavy to carry.
Unlike all other shields in the history of cold weapons, the Scottish round shield has a unique construction.
In addition to the handles, shields, and nails found in other shields, the Scottish Round Shield also integrates a bayonet into the shield, turning it into an offensive and defensive weapon, which is very suitable for hand-to-hand combat.
In the center of the Scottish round shield, there is a conical bayonet about 30 centimeters long and protruding forward, which can be used both to assassinate and to block.
Of course, the bayonet of the Scottish iron round shield in Ye Tian's hand was not installed in the center of the shield at this time, but was removed and placed in a long pocket on the back of the round shield for safety.
In Ye Tian's right hand, he held a Roman short sword about eighty centimeters long, with several traces of rust on it, but it still exuded a cold murderous aura.
It's a pity that this antique stall doesn't have another famous cold weapon from Scotland, the basket-shaped handguard knife, and can only be counted with a Roman short sword!
The Scottish round shield and the basket-shaped handguard knife are the perfect match, and the cold weapon ace combination that once terrified the British!
Because of the limited environment, Ye Tian did not wave the Scottish round shield and Roman short sword in his hand at the scene, so as not to make the people in Salia Square even more nervous.
He just picked up the Scottish shield in front of him, pressed the Roman dagger in his right hand against the edge of the shield, made a few offensive and defensive movements, and then put them back on the stall.
Even so, the many onlookers around vaguely felt a fierce murderous aura, and they were secretly frightened.
After putting the Scottish round shield and the Roman dagger back in place, Ye Tian looked at the stall owner of this antique stall again, and said with a smile:
"Fresis, tell us about this Scottish round shield, what is the specific origin, how did you get this shield?
Hearing his words, Fresis did not respond immediately, but turned his head to look at the Scottish round shield, and a suspicious look flashed in his eyes, and he fell into deep thought.
The many onlookers around also looked at the all-metal Scottish round shield curiously, not understanding why the fine iron shield attracted Ye Tian's attention.
Of course, there are quite a few people who think so.
Maybe Steven, the bastard is ready to trick people again, and the metal Scottish shield in front of him is just a prop.
Fresis's brow furrowed, his expression changing dramatically, clearly engaged in a fierce battle of ideas.
Ye Tian always looked at the stall owner with a smile on his face, his expression was very relaxed, and people couldn't figure out his true thoughts at all.
After pondering for nearly a minute, Fresis made up his mind.
He raised his head and glanced at Ye Tian deeply, and then said with a solemn face:
"Steven, I don't know if you're really interested in this all-metal Scottish shield, and I'm not sure if you're making a noise, but it's not really the shield.
Since I am open for business, there is no reason to turn away customers, that is not in line with my principles of doing business, and I don't bother to do it, but I have a request, I hope you can agree"
"What exactly do you want?Fresis, please say, I'm listening."
Ye Tian smiled and nodded, with a little curiosity and appreciation in his eyes.
This stall owner is not bad, relatively upright, and he did not turn himself away because he was afraid of going to the treasure, so he did not do his own business, and his psychological tolerance was obviously good.
Fresis nodded slightly, then continued:
"Steven, no matter what item you have your eye on here, I'll quote the price of it just like any other customer, and I won't ask for a lot of money and smash my sign.
In fact, I can't even guess what your real goal is, you can't have a sky-high price for everything, can you?
But, whatever you end up buying from me, once you've completed the deal, I'd like you to explain the item in public and give me an estimate, so I can die and understand.
You are the world's top antique art appraisal expert, professional treasure hunter, extremely sharp, never looked at the eye, you know and master more knowledge than I do.
If possible, I hope you will raise your hand and not sweep away the good things I have here, so that I can leave me something of value, which is my breadwinner's business.
I would appreciate it if you could give me some pointers and point out what I have here that have some value, that's what I'm asking for, it shouldn't be too much, I wonder if you can meet it?"
Hearing this, Ye Tian couldn't help but secretly give a thumbs up and admire the stall owner.
It's worth eating in the antique market, it's really a good person!
He knew that his eyesight was not good, and if there were really valuable antique artworks on the stall, he would inevitably be unable to avoid the fate of being picked up by Ye Tian and become another unlucky guy in Sarea Square.
Instead of this, it is better to retreat into advance, sing a bitter drama in front of everyone, find another way, and avoid being ransacked by Ye Tian!
In this way, he was able to keep the damage to a minimum.
If Ye Tian pointed out two more words and pointed out other antique artworks on the stall that were ignored or seriously undervalued, then a bad thing could become a good thing, and maybe he could make a lot of money!
Not only Ye Tian, but many people at the scene guessed Fresis's intentions, and they couldn't help but give a thumbs up to this guy's urgency!
Those antique stall owners who had just been looted by Ye Tian beat their chests with regret, why didn't they come up with such a good idea, they were really stupid as pigs!
Ye Tian looked at Fresis playfully, then nodded with a smile and said:
"Okay, Fresis, I grant your request, and I have to admit that you are a very clever fellow who can actually think of using this method against me, admiration!
At your stall, if there is a valuable antique art that you have overlooked, no matter how large it is, I will only buy one and leave the rest for you.
After completing the transaction, I will explain the antique art I purchased at your request, give an accurate valuation, and then point out a few antique artworks that you have overlooked.
However, this kind of good thing is only once, you are the first to make this kind of request, I can promise you, as for other peers, don't think about it, it depends on eyesight in this business"
Speaking of this, Ye Tian immediately turned his head and glanced at the many onlookers around him, and his intention was self-evident.
Fresis's face was already a look of ecstasy, and he almost jumped up with excitement, and there was still a trace of fear and apprehension in his eyes.
For him, this bitter drama is a great success, and the next thing is to see the quality of these things in his stall!
Unlike him, the other antique dealers and stall owners in the crowd were disappointed and regretful.
"Hey!"
A sigh of disappointment rang out from the rest of the antique dealers and stall owners.
Before the sigh fell, Ye Tian had already smiled and said:
"Fresis, can you introduce this all-metal Scottish shield and its price?"
Without the slightest hesitation, Fresis immediately continued:
"This is a Scottish round shield made of fine iron, very heavy, with many exquisite patterns engraved on the front and back, and from this point of view, this should be a ceremonial object, not a combat weapon.
There are no traces of sword slashing on this Scottish round shield, which also shows that there are many places on this shield that have been rusted due to its age.
According to my personal research, this fine iron Scottish round shield should have come from the mid-to-late eighteenth century, when the European battlefield and even the world battlefield had already become the world of muskets and artillery.
This also shows from another angle that this Scottish round shield is just a ceremonial item, and is not used for battlefield fighting, and it is unknown who this fine iron round shield belongs to.
Last year when I was in Lille, in the north of France, I saw this Scottish shield at a flea market, bought it on a whim, brought it back to Nice, and is here today.
This Scottish round shield is more than 200 years old, and it is indeed an antique, not a deliberately aged fake, and I will pay 6,500 euros for this fine iron round shield."
After quoting the price, Fresis stared at Ye Tian's face tightly, expecting his response.
Many onlookers at the scene also looked at Ye Tian.
Many people didn't believe that Ye Tian's target would be this fine iron Scottish round shield, and they even thought that this was just another disguise.
However, the next scene made everyone at the scene stunned.
"Six thousand five hundred euros, this price is very good, deal, Fresis, I want this Scottish round shield!"
Ye Tian smiled and nodded, and stretched out his right hand to Fresis.
"Ahh
Fresis exclaimed in surprise and froze directly in place. Fupin Chinese
