"Angry Man" has been identified and moved aside by Xiao Ran.
The video call with El Anazul also ended at this time.
The African art master gave a positive conclusion, but Xiao Ran did not ask about the value of "Angry Man".
It is a bit too philistine to ask in front of an art master the value of a masterpiece that has puzzled him for decades.
Top art masters like El Anazou may not understand the market conditions of their works, or they may not care.
Considering this, Xiao Ran did not raise this issue.
However, everyone, including him, knew it.
This "Angry Man" is a priceless top-notch work of art.
Considering its relationship with the anti-apartheid movement in South Africa and the current situation of the Black Lives Matter movement in the United States.
This top-notch work of art is even more special and precious.
At the same time, this thing is also a hot yam. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a time bomb.
If it is not handled well, it may cause huge trouble.
Xiao Ran's previous words during the auction to display it in the window of an antique shop to reduce risks are no longer possible.
Once the news spreads, if I display this piece of art in the window of an antique shop, or even put it in an antique shop, it will be robbed in minutes.
Those who snatched this top-notch piece of art were most likely the black people who went around smashing, looting and burning under the guise of Black Lives Matter.
Of course, it could also be those white supremacists.
Your own antique shop might even be burned down by those guys.
With these in mind, you have to think carefully about how to deal with this top-notch piece of art.
As soon as the appraisal was over, the video call with El Anazu was disconnected.
There were many people in the two live broadcast rooms who couldn't wait to speak out and were ready to acquire this top-notch piece of art.
Those guys were so desperate that they wished they could just hand over a blank check.
Xiao Ran told them to stay calm and discuss this issue later.
After hearing this, those guys could only stop and wait patiently for the time being.
Next, Xiao Ran took out the medieval knight's helmet and asked Pierre to help identify it.
Seeing this medieval knight's helmet, Pierre recognized its origin at a glance.
"Hey! Isn't this a medieval Crusader knight's helmet? It looks very high-quality, but the preservation condition is not ideal."
"Sean, tell me about this Crusader Knight helmet. What is your appraisal conclusion?"
Xiao Ran smiled and nodded, and then began to introduce the Crusader Knight helmet.
"Pierre, as you can see, this is a medieval Crusader knight's helmet with relatively high specifications."
"After taking the photo of this helmet, Elaine and I studied it carefully, and then came back and consulted a lot of information before we came to the identification conclusion."
Having said this, he turned to look at Elaine and nodded.
Elaine chuckled and responded.
Immediately afterwards, Xiao Ran continued:
"On the forehead and visor of this helmet, we found the early black-on-white octagonal cross of the Knights Hospitallers and the emblem of the Knights Hospitallers."
"Inside the helmet, we also found two lines of Latin text, which after analysis should be the slogan and purpose of the Knights Hospitaller, to defend the faith and save suffering."
"It can be determined from this that this Crusader Knights helmet comes from the famous Knights Hospitallers, and it is the helmet of a high-ranking person in the early days of the Knights Hospitallers."
"Next, we found another Crusader knight's name engraved on the inside of the helmet. The Crusader knight's name was Gerald."
Pierre was dumbfounded and froze on the spot.
You can see that this guy's face turned red with excitement in an instant.
Seeing his performance, Xiao Ran and Yi Lian both chuckled.
They knew that Pierre had guessed it.
Who exactly does this Crusader Knight's helmet belong to, and he also understands the great value and special significance of this Crusader Knight's helmet.
While Xiao Ran was introducing the situation, Fang Yufei displayed the detailed pictures taken in advance in the live broadcast room and also sent them to Pierre's mailbox.
Looking at those high-definition detailed pictures, Pierre was immediately attracted and looked at them fascinatedly.
Before he could react, Xiao Ran had already given the appraisal conclusion with a smile.
“Based on all aspects of evidence and the relevant information we found, it’s basically certain.”
"This medieval Crusader knight's helmet should come from the famous Blessed Gerald, the founder of the Knights Hospitallers."
Not surprisingly, the release of this appraisal conclusion immediately made Pierre almost crazy with excitement.
This guy suddenly jumped up from the sofa as if he was electrocuted.
"That's right, Sean, Elaine, your appraisal conclusion is correct."
"This is the knight's helmet of Blessed Gerald. It is so rare and precious."
"Just a moment, I'll contact Alex right away"
"He is very knowledgeable about the history of the Crusades in the Middle Ages and has a deep understanding of the antique artifacts of that period."
"Alex will definitely be able to identify this treasure and give the most authoritative identification conclusion."
With that said, Pierre picked up the landline at home and started calling a colleague named Alex.
At this time, the live broadcast room was boiling again.
"I'll go! It's actually the helmet of the founder of the Knights Hospitallers. I found out about the blessed Gerald before, and I still didn't believe it!"
"Sleep okay" exclaimed.
"Since it is the helmet of the founder of the Knights Hospitaller, this thing must be priceless, right?"
The old demon from Montenegro continued with envy.
Before he finished speaking, someone echoed his words with confidence.
"Of course, don't forget, the Knights Hospitaller still exists and is a micro-state."
"This is the founder's equipment. They must want to take back this top-notch antique artifact with special meaning."
"There is also the U.S. government. Several presidents of the United States are honorary knights of the Knights Hospitaller. They must also really want to get this treasure!"
Listening to these discussions in the live broadcast room, Xiao Ran smiled softly, but did not respond immediately.
While he was talking, Pierre's voice came again.
"Sean, Elaine, I have contacted Alex, you can video chat with him."
"I heard that you found the helmet of Blessed Gerald. The guy was so excited that he could hardly speak."
As he spoke, a French man in his fifties appeared on Pierre's computer screen.
Fang Yufei had already started an online video conference and directly transferred the picture on Pierre's computer to the large-screen TV in the living room.
The next moment, the Louvre expert named Alex appeared in front of everyone.
This guy knows Elaine and is very familiar with her.
After Elaine introduced him, Xiao Ran got to know him.
After a few polite words, everyone got down to business.
Xiao Ran introduced his findings and identification conclusions without any reservations.
He also held the medieval Crusader knight's helmet and showed it over and over in front of the high-definition camera.
Prior to this, Pierre had sent relevant high-definition pictures to Alex.
Also sent together was a video of Xiao Ran auctioning this medieval knight's helmet.
This auction video can prove that even if this medieval knight's helmet was forged by later generations, it has nothing to do with Xiao Ran.
Looking at this rusty Crusader knight's helmet, Alex's eyes were full of obsession, and he looked at it seriously and carefully.
After a while, he had reached a definite conclusion.
The guy adjusted his mood for a moment and then said excitedly:
"Sean, Elaine, your identification is very accurate."
"This Crusader knight's helmet is indeed the helmet of Blessed Gerald, the founder of the Knights Hospitallers."
"The motto and emblem of the Knights Hospitaller inside the helmet, as well as Gerald's name, are the best evidence and irrefutable."
"The marks of cuts and axes on the surface of the helmet are enough to prove that the blessed Gerald once wore this helmet and experienced hundreds of battles."
"There is no doubt that Blessed Gerald's Crusader Knight's Helmet is a very precious and top-notch antique artifact."
Hearing this, Xiao Ran immediately laughed, his eyes filled with pride.
Elaine and Fang Yufei, who were standing aside, jumped three feet high and cheered excitedly.
