Chapter 503
In the blink of an eye, nearly half an hour passed.
During this time, Xiao Ran inspected two other treasure chests engraved with the Plantagenet family crest.
Inside these two treasure chests are many valuable antique works of art, which are basically collected by the descendants of the Plantagenet family.
A considerable number of antique artworks have the Plantagenet family crest on them and are worth a lot.
Several of the antique works of art before the mid-sixteenth century, which are believed to have been collected by the Plantagenet royal family, are mostly gold products.
The rest of the antique artworks are collected by descendants of the Plantagenet family who narrowly escaped the Tudor dynasty!
Among these antique works of art, the most valuable are the two top works of art.
One is the work of Tintoretto, a Renaissance and Venetian master, and the other is a work by Rubens.
The discovery of these antique artworks, especially the discovery of two top-notch oil paintings, caused a burst of agitation and exclamations in the live and live broadcast rooms!
Of course, they also attract more envious and jealous eyes.
While Xiao Ran was looking at these antique artworks, the rest of the exploration groups also had many surprising discoveries.
They found a staggering number of brand-new flintlock rifles and pistols, as well as boxes of gold and silver coins.
In several rooms around the hall, many British uniforms and other military supplies were found, as well as a considerable number of gold and silver ingots.
As he spoke, Xiao Ran had already arrived in front of the last treasure chest engraved with the Plantagenet family crest, ready to open this treasure chest.
The remaining chest is the largest and most luxurious of the four chests.
However, the weight of this chest is relatively light.
Before coming closer, Xiao Ran looked at this treasure chest, and then said with a smile
: "It can be seen that this descendant of the Plantagenet family wants to take root in the North American colonies, so he brought many heavyweight
treasures to North America" "But I don't know what happened, but he didn't come to take these treasures and gold and silver treasures, it is estimated that something happened
" Before the words fell, Adrian had already continued:
"Do you still need to ask, This descendant of the Plantagenet family probably died on the battlefield of the War of Independence
" "Because of this, he did not take these antique works of art and gold and silver treasures, and this treasure can be preserved until now!"
"I just don't know if this guy has descendants in the North American colonies,"
Xiao Ran nodded gently.
"This should be the case, otherwise who is willing to give up such an amazing treasure and cheapen others for nothing
" "But these are history, no one can change it" "
All we can do is thank this descendant of the Plantagenet family, and then sweep this treasure away!"
"Hahaha"
There was laughter at the scene, and everyone laughed.
While laughing, everyone's eyes are full of envy, even jealousy.
When the laughter fell, Xiao Ran reached out and opened the last treasure chest.
What appeared in front of everyone's eyes was a white satin horse embroidered with the pattern of a gorse, but it had already turned yellow.
Xiao Ran checked the situation before uncovering the white satin.
What follows are two beautifully crafted boxes, all made of mahogany.
The shape of the two boxes is not the same, one cuboid and the other cube.
The same, they are all antique artifacts in the Baroque style.
They are all trimmed in yellow gold and wrapped in gold, and are set with gemstones and diamonds of various sizes.
Due to age, these rubies and diamonds have lost their luster and are coated with a black finish.
But with a good cleaning and a little polishing, these gemstones will shine again and brightly.
On the surface of these two boxes, engraved with various patterns derived from the Bible, basically related to the divine right of kings!
What's more, above both boxes, there is a Plantagenet family coat of arms engraved in gold.
The moment they saw these two boxes, everyone was stunned, and everyone's eyes were shocked.
After a few moments, everyone came to their senses.
Immediately afterwards, the scene exploded.
"Oh my God! These two boxes are so luxurious, what exactly is inside?
"Analyzing only the situation on the surface of the box, the things contained in the box are most likely related to the royal power of the Plantagenet dynasty,"
several live broadcast rooms and in front of the large-screen TV on the ground also exclaimed.
In the midst of this exclamation, Xiao Ran's voice suddenly came.
"What exactly is in these two boxes
, just open it and see," he said, and he took out the rectangular box and placed it on top of the box next to it.
Then he carefully observed it to make sure it was safe, and then gently opened it.
The moment the box was opened, a golden light immediately flashed on the scene.
What appeared in front of everyone's eyes was a golden scepter about one meter long.
To be precise, a golden scepter in the shape of a tomahawk.
On the surface of this golden scepter of the tomahawk, various exquisite ornaments and motifs are engraved, as well as the indispensable Plantagenet dynasty coat of arms.
The moment they saw this tomahawk golden scepter, everyone was directly stunned in place as if they had been cast a body fixing method.
Even Xiao Ran was appropriately stunned.
Only after a moment did he say in amazement,
"Ah! I'm not blind, am I? Is this the golden scepter of Richard the Lionheart? "
I always thought that the golden scepter of the Lionheart's battle axe was just a legend, but I didn't expect that this treasure really existed and fell into my hands"
With his words, everyone at the scene and outside was awakened.
The next moment, all the places where you can see this scene instantly boiled.
"Oh my God! Richard the Lionheart's Tomahawk Golden Scepter is simply incredible!
"This golden scepter is exactly the same as the legend, it is obviously true!"
Professor Baker exclaimed, his voice trembling.
The rest of the people who were also at the scene also behaved the same, and everyone was very excited.
On the ground, in front of the big screen TV.
Elaine and David, as well as the mayor of Boston and Professor Samuel, were stunned and exclaimed.
"Oh my God! Lionheart's Tomahawk Golden Scepter, this discovery is so amazing that I can't believe it!
David said excitedly.
"Who would have thought that Richard the Lionheart's Tomahawk Golden Scepter turned out to be real, and in Boston, this is definitely a shocking discovery!"
Professor Samuel muttered tremblingly.
Before the words fell, the mayor of Boston, who was standing on the side, suddenly took out his mobile phone.
"This Tomahawk Golden Scepter is so important that it must stay in the United States" "
I will immediately notify the White House and Congress to discuss the acquisition of this priceless treasure,"
he said, and he began to call and inform the White House and Congress of the situation.
Hearing his words, David and Elaine, who were standing on the side, quickly flashed a look of worry in their eyes.
The United States is a country founded by the Anzac people, and those Anzac who established the United States are basically from the British Isles.
To this day, it is still the Anzac elite that really rules the United States.
As one of the greatest kings in British history, the patron saint of England, Richard the Lionheart, the golden scepter of the tomahawk, its importance can be imagined!
This golden scepter of the tomahawk not only symbolizes British royal power, but also many other things!
Whether it is Britain or the United States, or other countries founded by the Anglo-Saxians, this golden scepter is definitely a sacred relic, and what country does not want it?
As for those politicians who are crazy about power, they dream of having such a treasure!
Because of this, the mayor of Boston will notify the White House and Congress as soon as possible!
David and Elaine will be worried, worried about causing trouble!
In the underground palace.
Xiao Ran took out the golden scepter of Richard the Lionheart from the box, held it in his hand and began to admire and identify.
Professor Baker and they all leaned over, their eyes rounded, and admired this priceless treasure symbolizing British royal power in fascination.
As the name suggests, this gold scepter is cast in the design modeled after the tomahawk and has a very special shape.
Counting Western history, there are few golden scepters of the same shape.
What's more, it was Richard the Lionheart's golden scepter, and it was cast after his favorite weapon, the Tomahawk.
Richard the Lionheart King in history was very good at using his tomahawk to fight and kill enemies.
Especially during the Third Crusade, as the supreme commander of the crusaders, Richard the Lionheart took the lead several times, holding his tomahawk high, and leading his knights to charge.
It was under his command that the crusaders of the Third Crusade blocked the attack of Saladin's army, and the two sides finally tied hands and shook hands and made peace!
With the power of Richard the Lionheart, the already crumbling Kingdom of Jerusalem continued for another century!
Jerusalem, occupied by Saladin, was also reopened to Christians, allowing them to make pilgrimages.
In Western history, Richard the Lionheart is recognized as one of the greatest kings and one of the most prominent military commanders in medieval Europe.
In addition, he was the first of the ten great knights in Western history.
The image of Richard the Lionheart wielding a tomahawk and fighting on the battlefield is also deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and is well known in the Western world.
This golden scepter of the battle axe was forged by Richard the Lionheart King to show his martial arts and specially imitate his own battle axe.
In the past, this golden scepter of the tomahawk only appeared in portraits of Richard the Lionheart, and no one in later generations had ever seen the real thing, and it was long gone.
Over time, it becomes a legendary priceless treasure, and whether it really exists, people are not even sure!
But who would have thought that this priceless treasure was hidden in Boston, USA, and slept deep underground for more than two hundred years.
It was only discovered by Xiao Ran that he was finally able to see the light of day.
Xiao Ran carefully examined the tomahawk golden scepter over and over before giving an appraisal conclusion.
"This tomahawk golden scepter is indeed from the medieval period, there is no problem with the shape, artistic style, and casting method
" "Combined with various ornamental patterns on the surface, especially the Plantagenet dynasty coat of arms, it is basically certain that this is the golden scepter of the Tomahawk King Richard
" "Another point, this gold scepter is very material, the purity of gold is very high, in the Middle Ages, no one will use so much gold to fake"
The words did not fall, Professor Baker hurriedly continued:
"That's right, Sean, there is no doubt about this tomahawk
golden scepter, it is indeed the scepter of Richard the Lionheart" "Especially the shape of the axe, spearhead, and mace, the three weapons in one, exactly the same as the golden scepter in Richard the Lionheart's portrait
" "The discovery of this priceless treasure is definitely a great archaeological find"
Hearing this, everyone at the scene nodded, I'm excited too.
Everyone knows in their hearts that today's joint exploration operation will surely go down in history.
As a member of the joint exploration team, everyone at the scene is honored to participate in this joint exploration operation.
Next, everyone discussed happily while admiring the golden scepter of the tomahawk.
As he spoke, Jack suddenly asked
, "Sean, what are you going to do with Richard the Lionheart's Tomahawk Golden Scepter?"
"This priceless treasure was found in Boston, and I personally hope it stays in Boston"
Xiao Ran turned to look at this guy and pondered a little before responding.
"It's too early to say this, let's talk about it when we get back to the ground
" "There's still a treasure in this box, I don't know what it is?"
"I'll open the box and take a look, maybe it's a huge surprise,"
he said, he packed Richard the Lionheart's Tomahawk Golden Scepter into the box and casually handed it to the staff next to him.
Then he took out another box in the box and opened it carefully.
On the top of this box, the same white silk embroidered with a plantagenet motif.
Two layers of white silk were lifted, and what was hidden underneath was presented to everyone's eyes.
At the same time, a brilliant golden light flashed at the scene.
It is a quaint zigzag crown made of gold throughout, which looks more like a gold headband.
On this golden crown, there are many intricate and exquisite ornaments and patterns, and there is a blooming gorse in front of the crown and on the left and right sides, which is very eye-catching!
And in the center of the plantagenet in front of the crown is a huge top ruby.
The moment they saw this golden crown, everyone froze and froze in place.
Only Xiao Ran, a smug look flashed in his eyes.
"Oh God! This is Richard the Lionheart's Plantagenet Crown! With
Professor Baker's exclamation, everyone woke up.
At this time, the outside world has long been boiling.
Even the White House and the House of Congress in Washington, as well as the British royal family and Buckingham Palace across the ocean, were completely shocked!
