Chapter 2257: Treasure Map of the Black Baron
The rest of the Portuguese were still admiring the Crusader Knight's sword and were doing further appraisal. The Portuguese Minister of Culture Vieira, who was in charge, had awakened from ecstasy and looked up at Ye Tian who was sitting opposite.
"Steven, there is no doubt that the crusader knight sword of Alfonso the Conqueror is the treasure of Portugal. It is of great significance to our country and to all the Portuguese people.
It is undeniable that you discovered this crusader knight sword. If it weren’t for you, this Portuguese national treasure might have been completely buried. Here, I would like to thank you on behalf of the Portuguese government.”
With that, Vieira stretched out her hand, shook hands with Ye Tian, and expressed her thanks.
While standing up to shake hands, Ye Tian smiled and said:
"You are welcome, Mr. Minister, I am a professional treasure hunter. Seeing an antique piece of art that is very likely to be valuable and overlooked, there is no reason to let it go.
When I saw this crusader knight sword, I did not expect it to be the saber of Alfonso the Conqueror. I have to say that it was a huge surprise.
I am very honored to find this valuable Crusader Knight Sword. I also know the great significance of this Knight Sword to Portugal and the Portuguese people! "
Following his remarks, everyone at the scene looked over, and everyone's eyes were full of envy.
Especially those Portuguese, they are very envious, even their jealous eyes are red, wishing to take this crusader knight sword directly into their arms and take it as their own.
"Steven, should we talk about trading this crusader knight sword now? You bought this knight sword, and it belongs to you. We can't deny that.
However, this crusader knight sword carries the most important part of Portugal's history. It belongs to Portugal's national treasure, belongs to all Portuguese, and must not leave this country! "
Vieira said solemnly, with a firm tone, but with worry in his eyes.
Ye Tian smiled softly, and said in a leisurely manner:
"Don't worry, Mr. Minister, let's talk about our operations in Tomar and exploring the treasures of the Knights Templar, and we will talk about this valuable Crusader knight sword later."
Hearing this, the faces of all the Portuguese in the meeting room changed, becoming very ugly, as black as the bottom of a pot!
Steven, this greedy bastard, is too damned, this is a threat!
Just as these Portuguese gritted their teeth hatefully, the Bishop of Kent and David held back a smile and secretly geared up to get into the upcoming negotiation.
In a blink of an eye, more than an hour passed.
The door of the meeting room, which had been closed for more than an hour, finally opened again.
The next moment, Ye Tian and Vieira walked out of the conference room first, followed by the Bishop of Kent and David, as well as the other Portuguese.
It can be seen that the faces of all the Portuguese are quite ugly, overcast, and there is a bit of anger in everyone's eyes.
Unlike these Portuguese, Ye Tian and Bishop Kent have smiles on their faces.
Not a few steps out of the meeting room, Vieira stopped and said with a gloomy face:
"Steven, regarding the acquisition of this crusader knight sword, I will immediately report to Mr. President when I return to Lisbon and apply for the acquisition funds. I believe there will be results soon."
Ye Tian nodded lightly, and said with a smile:
"I'm not in a hurry, Mr. Minister, during this time, we can just visit the beautiful town of Tomar, and visit several target buildings to inspect the situation.
I think it's necessary to remind me that just this afternoon, Bellmiro called me to buy this crusader knight sword of Alfonso the conqueror. The offer was very generous.
Belmiro is a Portuguese and a top collector. If the Portuguese government wants to keep this knight sword, you might as well contact him. Maybe you will get unexpected results! "
Hearing this, Vieira's eyes immediately flashed with surprise, and the rest of the Portuguese were the same.
Before they could respond, Ye Tian poured cold water on them.
"In addition to Bellmiro, the famous Brazilian banker Joseph also called me in the evening. He also wanted to acquire the crusader knight sword of Alfonso the Conqueror.
Joseph has a very close relationship with the descendants of the Portuguese royal family who fled to Brazil in the early nineteenth century. Perhaps he was helping those descendants of the royal family to come forward to buy this knight sword.
So, you’d better make a decision as soon as possible. If you haven’t made a decision before we leave Portugal, then I can only sell this knight sword to Joseph"
Without exception, all the grapes on the scene were stunned, and they stared at Ye Tian dumbfounded. Their eyes were almost flying out of their sockets.
At the same time, they all gritted their teeth, wishing they could directly pounce on Ye Tian and give them a good breath.
After flying so hard, Vieira just suppressed the boiling anger, bit his back teeth and said:
"Okay, Steven, we will make a decision as soon as possible, goodbye"
After speaking, the Portuguese Minister of Culture shook hands with Ye Tian to bid farewell, and then turned and walked towards the stairs.
If he doesn't leave here again, Vieira feels that he has to be out of anger and heart disease, or lose control, and directly punches the **** in front of him.
Next, Ye Tian shook hands with the other Portuguese one by one and said goodbye, with a bright smile on his face.
After all the Portuguese left, Ye Tian took David and the others back to the conference room again.
As soon as he walked into the conference room, he said to Matisse:
"Matis, go back and make arrangements. Tonight, you must maintain the highest alert and inform all the guys so that everyone is ready for battle. Maybe something will happen tonight."
"Understand, Steven, leave these things to us, don't worry."
Matisse nodded in response, his tone decisive and confident.
Within a few steps, Ye Tian had walked to the conference table and reached out from the conference table and picked up the long box containing the Crusader Knight's sword.
"Let's go, guys, let's go back, it might be a long night tonight"
With that, he walked to the door of the conference room.
Behind him, David and the Bishop of Kent all followed and left the meeting room together.
When they walked to the top of the stairs, there was a sudden excitement of cheers outside the hotel, deafening.
The cheers just went down for a while, and then there were shouts and curses that contained anger, which sounded extremely lively.
Obviously, the Portuguese who had just walked out of the hotel publicly disclosed the final appraisal results, and at the same time, they did not forget to give Ye Tianshang some eyedrops to accuse him of the bad behavior of the strange goods.
For all this, Ye Tian had expected it long ago, and didn't feel surprised at all.
He only paused at the top of the stairs, and then stepped downstairs to the floor where everyone lived.
...
It was midnight, and the very noisy entrance of the hotel finally calmed down.
The Portuguese, who protested loudly and complained in anger, finally couldn't resist the exhaustion of the invasion, and they had dispersed one after another, returning home to recharge their energy, waiting to fight again tomorrow.
In the luxurious suite where Ye Tian lived, the lights were still on.
At this time, there was only Ye Tian in the suite. He was sitting in the living room, playing with the "Ten Commandments of Pirates" that he received from the antique shop during the day.
This beautifully bound book has been completely dismantled by him, and all the yellowed paper in the book has been removed, leaving only the front and back covers of metal texture.
After observing for a while, Ye Tian picked up the saber next to him, aimed at the upright back cover with a sharp blade, and slowly hacked in from a corner of the back cover.
At first, the blade of the saber was difficult to split the metal back cover, but under the blessing of Ye Tian's powerful strength, the blade still broke the back cover little by little, splitting a thin crack.
When the blade of the saber went deep along this crack about two or three centimeters, there was a sudden bang in the living room, which was very pleasant to the ear.
Looking at the silver-white metal back cover, a long gap has been cracked, or it should be said to have split into two pieces.
It turned out that the back cover was glued together with two eight-size silver-white metal sheets. To be more precise, they were welded together by soldering technology. The craftsmanship is very delicate and no flaws can be seen.
If someone else sees this situation, they will definitely be shocked.
Ye Tian was very calm, not surprised at all, because he had already mastered everything through perspective.
After smoothly splitting the back cover of "The Pirate Ten Commandments", he inserted the tip of the knife into the gap and pried it to both sides.
Then he put down the saber, held the two pryed metal pieces with both hands, and slowly tore them to both sides, pulling the gap wider and wider.
In a blink of an eye, the two silver-white metal pieces were completely torn apart by him~www.wuxiaspot.com~ completely changed from one to two, exposing the middle layer.
At this moment, from the interlayer between the two metal sheets, something suddenly fell, directly on the coffee table.
It was an old sheepskin map, which looked quite old. There was a hand-drawn sketch map on it, which seemed to be a topographical map of an island, with many marks dotted.
The moment he saw this ancient sheepskin map, Ye Tian immediately burst into a triumphant smile, and muttered to himself in a low voice.
"Using the perfect "Ten Commandments of Pirates" by'Black Baron' Roberts as a guise to hide the treasure map left by the Black Baron is really a bit of an idea!
It's a pity that this treasure map of the black baron has fallen into the hands of my buddies. My buddies are not welcome. This pirate treasure will soon be seen again! "
With that said, he had picked up the old sheepskin map and began to study the topographic map drawn on it.
As for the "Ten Commandments of Pirates" used to hide this treasure map, he had already tossed aside, and he didn't bother to look at it again.
