Chapter 374: The Dark Age

Wei Xiu turned the ring and continued to observe, his fingers unconsciously avoiding the black diamond, although he knew that ordinary pressing would not activate the mechanism.

The inside of the ring is engraved with the English "E" and three stars, and the letter "A" is engraved opposite the letter "E". As for the speculation of these letters and symbols, jewelry experts and classical scholars in Europe have long pointed out that the letter "E" should be related to King Edward III of England, that is, the beginning of Edward III's English name.

The three stars represent Edward III, and it is unclear what the letter "A" means. This is not only Wei Xiu, but even European scholars will not be able to guess for a while, after all, there are too many names or titles starting with "A".

However, among the many speculations so far, the most popular claim is that this A should represent the warlord Jacob van Artivald, Edward III's most favorable supporter.

Wei Xiu glanced at the gold and black diamond ancient ring on his fingertips again, and said with a little hesitation: "This is a medieval ring, this is an undoubted thing. ”

Very ordinary opening: "Before tasting this gold and black diamond ring, I have to mention the Middle Ages in Europe." If I have to say which era in Europe attracts me the most? It is not the culture of the ancient city-states, nor the Age of Enlightenment, which led to the transformation of Europe, but the Dark Ages, the Middle Ages!"

Wei Xiu smiled: "Let's go back to that era, the sun set in Western Rome, which represented order, the night fell, the haze was filled, a wabi-sabi, the cold suddenly came, and in the shouting, the dark age came! Knights, dragon spears, scimitars, barbarism, conspiracy, blood, gold coins, beauties...... Anyone can dance all this, what a crazy and fast time this is?"

Wei Xiu opened his arms, and the audience was silent, and many people were startled by the dark aura emanating from Wei Xiu and Wei Xiu.

The Middle Ages, as the dark age of European history, with the collapse of the last powerful power, the Western Roman Empire, the end of order, the arrival of demons, the degree of chaos is no less than the five dynasties and ten kingdoms in China.

It was such a chaotic era, and he was praised by Wei Xiu, and many people suddenly felt that they could get a glimpse of Wei Xiu's nature from these words.

The times create heroes, and in such a chaotic era, I am afraid that only Cao Aman will like it. At this time, Wei Xiu said this, and the meaning expressed was very simple, the crown fell to the ground, and anyone could pick it up. The deer is released in the Central Plains, and the world is chased.

Ni Zijun looked at Wei Xiu with a smile on her face in a daze, at this moment, her heart beat uncontrollably, a trace of obsession flashed in her eyes, she felt as if she was about to touch the essence of Wei Xiu, the darkest essence.

At this time, Wei Xiu's elegant smile remained unchanged, and continued: "And in the Middle Ages, the 13th century was the most special, as a special era that divided Christian historiography and Renaissance historiography, I have to say that 13 is really a number full of curses. ”

When Wei Xiu said this, a look of epiphany suddenly flashed in Manvis Prussia's eyes. Because the reign of Edward III was after this 13th century, Dare to love Wei Xiu went around a big circle, in fact, he was boasting about the value of this ring from the side.

If Wei Xiu points out the age of the ring in a proper manner, and then describes the ring in gorgeous words, its content must be extremely empty.

Because the word gorgeous is actually ridiculous to put on this ring, because if the carver of this ring erases its historical heritage, it is even inferior to the gold ring produced by a third-rate workshop.

It's no wonder that this son broke into such a huge family business at a young age, and there is really no vain under the fame!

Sure enough, Wei Xiu was as Manvis Prussia guessed, and the following opening is to introduce the special era of Edward III's reign, as well as his life's merits, and then lead to the ring, and finally a simple and impossible praise for the gold and black diamond ancient ring, and a full speech, which caused the eyes of everyone present to light up when this already famous gold and black diamond ancient ring was said.

“…… So this gold and black diamond ancient ring is extremely collectible!" Wei Xiu had just finished saying this, and the audience erupted in warm applause.

Obviously, Wei Xiu's status is there, that is, it is not good, and everyone has to give face, not to mention Wei Xiu's wonderful appreciation from shallow to deep, from history and culture to antiques?

Wei Xiu, who originally wanted to speak, listened to the applause in the audience, and the corners of his mouth suddenly showed a hint of meaningful teasing, this group of gringos is too good at sycophancy, right?

After a long applause, Clermont said with admiration on his face: "I didn't expect Mr. Wei Xiu to be so proficient in European history, and he is worthy of being a treasure connoisseur from the mysterious East." ”

Wei Xiu nodded in gratitude: "Oh, thanks for the compliment!"

Clermont returned the salute with a smile, and then clapped his hands to attract everyone's attention and said: "After Mr. Wei Xiu's tasting, I think everyone has a better understanding of the value of this gold and black diamond ancient ring, and there are not many antiques that can be tasted by Mr. Wei Xiu himself, so you should cherish it a lot!"

There was laughter in the audience, and many people were indeed provoked by Wei Xiu's desire to take pictures.

Just when the waiter was holding the tray and was about to take the ring from Wei Xiu's hand, Wei Xiu suddenly made a gesture for the waiter to retreat and said: "You guys were so enthusiastic just now, there is one more point, and the most important point, about this gold and black diamond ancient ring, I think it is very necessary to mention it here." ”

Wei Xiu's words made everyone stunned, is this an addiction to the limelight? Or is there something else wrong with this ring?

Manvis Prussia looked at Wei Xiu even more stunned, because Wei Xiu's behavior was almost all expected by him, but at this time, Wei Xiu's words made him feel that things seemed to be out of his logical thinking.

Clermont also looked at Wei Xiu in surprise, waved his hand, and asked the waiter to step back.

Wei Xiu raised the gold and black diamond ancient ring in his hand and said: "This gold ring is not a simple token or ornament, but a ...... Murder weapons!"

One sentence stirred up a thousand waves, and the scene was in an uproar, and they were all shocked by Wei Xiu's abrupt words.

Wei Xiu said with a sneer on the corner of his mouth: "As a thing of royal power in the Dark Ages, how can it be a simple ornament? As a medieval king who refused to run for the Holy Roman Emperor by force of honor, the king of France invited and captured King John II of France and acquired a large territory of France, would he use the black diamond that represents the "stone of reconciliation"?"

A thick look of sarcasm flashed across Wei Xiu's face: "Or, dear His Majesty Edward III, need to reconcile with his loyal knight, Jacob van Artiferd?"

A series of questions made the audience silent, and everyone was stunned by Wei Xiu's tone full of mockery.

The change in Wei Xiu's attitude is so fast that many people don't understand whether Wei Xiu is tasting a medieval gold and black diamond ancient ring, or is he using it to satirize certain things, certain people?
