Chapter 655: Ancient Egypt's Heavenly Sword

What scared Li Yi was not because the bronze sword was broken, but because of what was exposed after the bronze sword was broken. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Before, when Li Yi saw this bronze sword, he felt that it was relatively wide, and the sword spine was slightly thicker, but he didn't pay attention to it, because it was normal.

But now that the sword is broken, the abnormality is exposed, this sword is actually hollow, and there is something hidden in it!

This stepping horse is an ancient Egyptian sword of heaven!

Carefully took out the things stuffed in the "Heavenly Sword", first tossed the weight, and then carefully observed, Li Yi's brows furrowed tightly, this thing seems to be gold leaf, and the purity does not seem to be low!

There are three pieces of these gold leaf, each of which is about the same size, no more than 12 centimeters in length and about two centimeters in width, and each piece is as thin as a cicada's wings.

Moreover, it is not as simple as a few pieces of gold leaf hidden in the sword, because these gold leafs are densely written with strangely shaped hieroglyphs! Isn't this the Heavenly Sword?

"It's really going to be developed now!"

Staring at the words on the gold leaf, Li Yi's eyes were like high-powered light bulbs, getting brighter and hotter.

“1,2,3……”

After looking at it for a while, he found that he didn't know any of the words on it, even if a few looked familiar, he didn't dare to guess, after all, this thing was not made by the ancestors of China, but the hieroglyphs made by the ancestors of the Egyptians, who knows how the things in the world are understood in their eyes?

But it doesn't matter if you can't recognize it, as long as there are things, you can always find someone who can decipher these things, but what is more anxious now is the number of these words.

Quite simply, this thing is the same as the inscription engraved on the bronze by the ancestors of China, the more the quantity, the more precious it is. Moreover, compared to the public words engraved on the bronze, this kind of thing that has been carefully hidden in a bronze sword must be of great importance without thinking about it.

The bronze sword is the product of more than 3,400 years ago, and at that time, the gold was made into such a thin gold leaf, and then engraved with words on it, and finally hidden in a bronze sword, and this bronze sword was sharp enough to cut through the copper coin, and even several pieces were not broken...... God, this thing is no less difficult than building a pyramid, right?

So, how precious should the information recorded on the gold leaf that someone deliberately hid in this sword be?! I'm afraid, it's not just a mystery to solve, because the sword itself is a mystery to solve!

How exactly do they do it? Li Yi scratched his scalp, only to feel a burst of itching in his heart, and he wished that he could immediately bring over an expert in ancient Egyptian writing......

"That's not right......"

When he was thinking about how to contact the expert in ancient Egyptian writing, a thought suddenly jumped out of his mind, this bronze sword, although he did not open the perspective, but he used the spirit card.

Since the spirit card is used, then, in the identification results of the spirit card, there should be information about these gold leaf, just like those ancient paintings hidden in ancient paintings, ancient paintings hidden in the top cover of the box, the spirit card brush, there should be nothing to hide, but ......

But this sword did not have any hints, if it weren't for the fact that he accidentally slashed the sword on the door frame and broke it, I don't know how long this secret would have been buried...... Why is this the case? Could it be that the spirit card judged that the bronze sword and these gold leaf were one?

Li Yi remembered that when he saw the gold leaf just now, he seemed to have paid attention to the purity of the gold leaf, so he quickly picked up a piece and studied it carefully.

After a moment, he couldn't help but gasp softly again.

The gold content of these gold foils is more than 90%! And this was simply impossible at that time!

This is another difficult mystery to solve!

After tossing for a long time, Li Yi suddenly slapped his thigh hard, his sister was so excited that she forgot to use the spirit card!

When it was hidden in the bronze sword, there was no hint on the spirit identification card, but now that it is taken out alone, there should always be a reaction, right?

Thinking that the mystery would be revealed soon, or at least part of it could be revealed, Li Yi's breathing couldn't help but become a little short, come on, let me see what this thing is!

A cold air flowed through, and the spirit card finally did not have any more problems this time, but directly gave the answer that Li Yi desperately wanted to know, these gold foils are called the Golden Book of Heaven, and the content recorded on it is the famous Kadeshi contract in Egyptian history.

The Battle of Kadesh was the most important battle of Ramses II's war against the Hittites. It was in the aftermath of this battle that Ramses II, who was said to have been on the verge of a near-defeat, signed the earliest surviving international treaty with the Hittites.

However, after figuring out what was recorded above, Li Yi lost the excitement just now, but sighed a little excitedly.

Because, after figuring out the things recorded in the gold leaf, the gold leaf not only did not appreciate because of these records, but greatly depreciated in value!

Because, not only has the Kadieshi contract been discovered by people a long time ago, but even two versions have been discovered! One is a hieroglyph carved into the wall of the pillared hall of Karnak, and the other is a Babylonian cuneiform tablet carved into clay tablets found during the excavation of the ruins of the Hittite capital of Hattusa, which can be found by looking it up on the Internet.

In many cases, the most valuable part of an antiquity is the information it carries, but if this information has been known through other means, then even if it is engraved on gold leaf, it will be worth a lot even if it is engraved on diamond! Oh, sorry, but if it's really engraved on a diamond, the diamond itself must be very valuable......

Putting aside the gold leaf and bronze sword with a little disappointment, Li Yi picked up the last questionable object, the treasure map of Comrade Captain Blackbeard.

However, this treasure map did not hide other secrets like the previous items, so Li Yi only studied it for a while and threw it aside, and then leaned on the head of the bed and pondered silently.

The first is the question of perspective. Because the spirit card can identify whether there is a secret hidden in a thing, Li Yi does not use it very often except when gambling stones.

However, because of this infrequency, he almost missed two very important things, one was the note, and the other was, of course, the bronze sword.

However, should it be because of these two things, he will have to open the perspective at any time in the future, Li Yi is still a little difficult to decide.

Because, perspective is actually not a very enjoyable experience, especially when looking at a bunch of different kinds of things at once, it is simply dazzling, and it is impossible to distinguish whether the things seen are perspective or not. Moreover, the frequent switching between gaze changes is not a very good experience, and he himself feels uncomfortable after watching too much.

Secondly, the information on that note and what is behind it, is the account there or not? Although it's simple to be absent, there is always a feeling of unwillingness, but if it's still there, how to deal with it?

In addition, it is the biggest thing, the return of the holy plate. Whether or not you can get the island, whether you can get those promises, will it be because the rewards of the Holy See are too heavy, and even cause great dangers...... As he learned more about what it meant to have an island that could be independent, he became more and more troubled......

"Jingle Bell ......"

The bell rang suddenly, waking Li Yi up from his contemplation, picked up his mobile phone and saw that it was Luo Guofu, so he picked it up casually.

"Good news, boss, Pat has agreed to transfer his painting to you!"

"Oh? Is it? That's great news! ”

Li Yi offered 3.8 million euros for Dong Yuan's "Autumn Mountain Scene", and the comparison between this price and the real value of the painting is not even 1 to 10, 1 to 5 is not a problem.

"Boss, guess how much the painting cost in the end?"

"How much? Isn't it 3.8 million? Could it be that Pat will take the initiative to make concessions? ”

"Hehe, of course he won't take the initiative to make concessions, but I have a way to get him a little more discounted. Boss, the final price of this painting is 3.6 million euros, how about it, this price is not bad, right? ”

"3.6 million? How do you do it? ”

"Hehe, it's not critical how I did it, it's ......"

On the phone, Luo Guofu's voice was a little twisted, and Li Yi knew what was going on as soon as his mind turned, and couldn't help laughing:

"Okay, I still remember what I said, since it is 200,000 lower than my offer, then, half of the 200,000 li is yours! In addition, although I talked about this piece myself, anyway, it was because of you that I finally won the painting, so I decided to pay you another 100,000 euros in commission...... By the way, when can I trade? ”

"Thank you, thank you boss! You're the most generous person I've ever met! I'm here at Pat right now, and if you have time, you can come over and trade now. Besides, if you come here, I've got something good to show you. ”

"Oh? Is it? Then you wait! ”

Li Yi glanced at the time, jumped out of bed, took Hongchen and went straight to Pat's antique shop.

Pat really stayed in the store and didn't leave, and the price of the "Autumn Mountain Scene" was really reduced by 200,000 euros as Rogov said, and there were no additional conditions, which is really incredible, but it also made Li Yi further realize Rogov's energy.

In Pat's resentful eyes, he swiped the card to pay the bill and sign the agreement, and after everything was done, Li Yi and Luo Guofu left the store together.

"Okay, now can you tell me how you did that?"

In the car, Li Yi transferred another 200,000 to Luo Guofu, and then stared into his eyes and asked.

"It's very simple, because I asked two friends to pretend to be customers to make a bid for the painting, and none of them offered more than 3 million."

Li Yi blinked, this method can be regarded as a common method in antique trading, but if you want to do it without flaws, you shouldn't find two people in such a short time, because this will definitely make Pat suspicious.

But in the end, the painting was sold, so there must be something greasy here, Li Yi was about to listen to the following, but he didn't expect that Luo Guofu actually finished speaking.

"It's gone? However, with an offer of 3.8 million there, how could he take the initiative to make concessions? Also, in such a short period of time, you found two people to look at the painting, and Pat didn't have the slightest suspicion? It's a bit unlikely, right? ”

"Hey......

Rogov laughed twice, revealing a treacherous look,

"First of all, I told Pat that you had your eye on two other paintings, and in order to buy those two paintings, you decided to lower the price of the paintings by 200,000 euros. Then I found two more Chinese tour groups, bought the tour guides, and temporarily placed two of my Chinese friends in the tour group, and then when the tour group visited the antique shop, both of them happened to find the "Autumn Mountain Scene" ......"

"Uh......"

Li Yi spread his hands speechlessly, this guy, in order to earn an extra 100,000 euros, actually got this kind of black hand, you know, Pat is helping him sell antiques! So, what about him? It is conceivable that this guy must be calculating him all the time, should he continue to cooperate with him?

However, since Rogov can tell him this, there must be a way not to make him think so, so what is his argument?

Li Yi looked at Luo Guofu without saying a word, waiting for him to give him an explanation.

"Hehe, boss, you don't have to look at me like that, I do this precisely because of my loyalty and respect for you! You think, I'm an employee of yours now, so I should naturally think about it from your point of view, not to mention, shouldn't every new employee try to show their skills? So, I don't think you should be wary of me, but you should reward me......"

As he spoke, Rogov took out a thick document from his briefcase and handed it to Li Yi.

"Boss, this is the information I asked for from a few friends, these are their collection of Chinese antiques, with a horizontal line underneath, now they are all in Paris, if you want to see it, I can arrange it at any time."

"Oh? Is it? ”

Li Yi took the information, looked down at it, and said:

"Rogov, I also said before that I will pay you a certain fee for every piece of information you provide, but the standard of this fee has not been carefully discussed, so do you have any ideas?"

"Uh...... What do you think, boss? ”

"Generally speaking, I don't pay much attention to antiques with an estimated value of less than $1 million, so like this, I'm going to give you $5, between $1 million and $3 million, I'll give you $50 for a piece, between $3 million and $5 million, I'll give you $80 for each piece, and $100 for each piece above $5 million, what do you think?"

"Oh boss, your offer is too low, I think, you should add a zero to each of your offers, you know, it took me a lot of effort to make these things!"

"Add zero? Oh buy ga, you dare to think too much! According to our estimates, the total number of cultural relics lost in China is about 17 million, deducting about 2 million pieces collected by the museum, and 15 million pieces are in the people's house. Even if the value of these artifacts is less than $1 million, then I will have to spend $75 million on it. ”

"Of course, I know you can't get all the information about the artifacts, but if you put your mind to it, in a few years, I think you can get at least a fifth or a quarter of the information, plus those with relatively high valuations, it will be a very huge fortune......"

"How is this possible? I have been in the antiques business all my life, and whether I have seen more than 100,000 antiques is a problem, how can I find information about 3 million antiques? Boss, I guess you don't want me to cheat you out of your money with some indiscriminate stuff, right? I don't think it's as good as this, I will provide you with this information for free, if you fancy which one, and finally the deal is closed, you give me a 5% commission, if I can lower the price below the price you quoted, then it will be according to the previous one, we are one and a half, what do you think?
