In the blink of an eye, nearly half an hour passed.
During this time, Xiao Ran checked two other treasure chests engraved with the Plantagenet family emblem.
In these two treasure chests, there are many valuable antique works of art, which are basically collected by the descendants of the Plantagenet family.
A considerable number of antique works of art have the Plantagenet family crest on them and are worth a lot of money.
Several of the antique works of art before the mid-16th century should have been collected by the royal family of the Plantagenet Dynasty, and most of them are gold products.
The remaining antique artworks are collected by descendants of the Plantagenet family who narrowly escaped being hunted by the Tudor dynasty!
Among these antique works of art, the most valuable ones are two top-notch works of art.
One is a work by Tintoretto, a master of Renaissance and Venetian painting, and the other is a work by Rubens.
The discovery of these antique artworks, especially the discovery of two top-notch oil paintings, caused waves of excitement and exclamations on site and in the live broadcast room!
Of course, they also attracted more envious and jealous looks.
While Xiao Ran was looking at these antique artworks, the other exploration groups also made many surprising discoveries.
They found a large number of brand-new flintlock rifles and pistols, as well as boxes and boxes of gold and silver coins. The amount was quite astonishing.
In several rooms around the hall, many British military uniforms and other military supplies were also found, as well as a considerable number of gold and silver ingots.
While talking, Xiao Ran had arrived at the last treasure chest engraved with the Plantagenet family emblem and was about to open the treasure chest.
The remaining treasure chest is the largest and most luxurious of the four chests.
However, the weight of this treasure chest is relatively light.
Coming closer, Xiao Ran looked at the treasure box, then said with a smile:
"It can be seen that this descendant of the Plantagenet family wanted to take root in the North American colonies, so he brought many important treasures to North America."
"But I don't know what happened, but he didn't come to take away these treasures and gold and silver treasures. It must have been an accident."
Before he finished speaking, Adrian continued:
"You still have 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 away these antiques, artworks and gold and silver treasures, and this treasure can be preserved until now!"
"I just don't know if this guy has any descendants in the North American colonies."
Xiao Ran nodded lightly.
"This should be the case, otherwise who would be willing to give up such an amazing treasure to benefit others in vain?"
"But this is history and no one can change it."
"All we can do is thank this descendant of the Plantagenet family, and then sweep away this treasure!"
"Hahaha"
There was a burst of laughter and everyone laughed.
While laughing, everyone's eyes were full of envy, even jealousy.
After the laughter subsided, Xiao Ran reached out and opened the last treasure box.
Then what appeared before everyone's eyes was a piece of white satin, embroidered with a gorse pattern, but it had already turned yellow.
Xiao Ran checked the situation before uncovering the white satin.
What followed was two beautifully crafted boxes, both made of mahogany.
The shapes of the two boxes are different, one is rectangular and the other is cube.
The same thing is that they are all antique artifacts in the Baroque style.
They are all edged with gold and wrapped in gold at every corner. The surface is also inlaid with various sizes of gemstones and diamonds.
Due to the passage of time, these rubies, sapphires and diamonds have lost their luster and their surfaces have become dark.
But with a good cleaning and a little polish, these gems will shine brightly again.
The surfaces of these two boxes are engraved with various patterns from the Bible, which are basically related to the divine right of kings!
More importantly, above both boxes, there is a Plantagenet family crest chiselled in gold.
The moment they saw these two boxes, everyone was stunned, and everyone was shocked.
After a while, everyone finally woke up.
Immediately afterwards, the scene exploded.
"Oh my God! These two boxes are so luxurious. What exactly is inside?"
"Based on the surface of the box, the contents inside are most likely related to the royal power of the Plantagenet Dynasty."
In several live broadcast rooms and in front of the large-screen TVs on the ground, there were also constant exclamations.
Among the exclamations one after another, Xiao Ran's voice suddenly came.
"What exactly are contained in these two boxes? You'll know if you open them and take a look."
As he spoke, he took out the rectangular box and placed it on the box next to it.
Then he pretended to observe it carefully and made sure it was safe before gently opening it.
The moment the box was opened, a golden light flashed across the scene.
What then appeared in front of everyone's eyes was a golden scepter about one meter long.
To be more precise, it was a golden scepter in the shape of a battle axe.
The surface of this battle ax and golden scepter is engraved with various exquisite ornaments and patterns, as well as the indispensable Plantagenet emblem.
The moment they saw this battle ax and golden scepter, everyone froze in place as if they had been cast a immobilization spell.
Even Xiao Ran was suitably stunned.
After a while, he pretended to be surprised and said:
"Ah! Am I dazzled? Is this the battle ax and golden scepter of King Richard the Lionheart?"
"I always thought that the Lionheart King's battle ax and golden scepter was just a legend. I didn't expect that this treasure actually existed and fell into my hands."
Following his words, everyone at the scene and outside was awakened.
The next moment, everywhere that could see this scene was boiling.
"Oh my God! Richard the Lionheart's battle ax and 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 other people present at the scene behaved the same way, and everyone was extremely excited.
On the ground, in front of the big screen TV.
Elaine and David, as well as the mayor of Boston, Professor Samuel and others, were all stunned and exclaimed.
"Oh my God! The discovery of Lionheart's battle ax and golden scepter is so amazing, I can't believe it!"
David said excitedly.
"Who would have thought that the battle ax and golden scepter of King Richard the Lion-Hearted actually existed, and in Boston, this is definitely a shocking discovery!"
Professor Samuel murmured tremblingly.
Before he finished speaking, the mayor of Boston, standing aside, suddenly took out his cell phone.
"This battle ax and 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."
As he spoke, he started making phone calls to brief the White House and Congress on the situation.
After hearing his words, David and Elaine standing aside had a look of worry flashing through their eyes.
The United States is a country founded by the Americans, and the Americans who founded the United States are basically from the British Isles.
To this day, those who truly rule the United States are still the Anglo-Saxon elite.
As one of the greatest kings in British history and the patron saint of Britain, the importance of the battle ax and golden scepter of Richard the Lionheart can be imagined!
This battle ax and golden scepter not only symbolizes the British royal power, but also means many other things!
Whether it is the United Kingdom or the United States, or other countries established by the Angsa people, this golden scepter is definitely a sacred object. Which country doesn't want it?
As for those politicians who are crazy about chasing power, they even dream of owning such a treasure!
Because of this, the mayor of Boston notified the White House and Congress as soon as possible!
Only David and Elaine are worried about causing trouble!
In the underground palace.
Xiao Ran took out the battle ax and golden scepter of Richard the Lion-Hearted King from the box, held it in his hand and began to appreciate and appraise it.
Professor Baker and the others all leaned over, their eyes widened as they admired this priceless treasure that symbolized the British royal power.
As the name suggests, this golden scepter is modeled after a battle ax and has a very special shape.
Throughout Western history, there are not many golden scepters of the same shape.
More importantly, this is the golden scepter of Richard the Lionheart, and it is modeled after his favorite weapon, the battle axe.
Richard the Lionheart in history was very good at using a battle ax to kill enemies.
Especially during the Third Crusade, as the supreme commander of the Crusaders, King Richard the Lionheart took the lead several times, held his battle ax high, and charged into battle with his knights.
It was under his command that the Crusaders of the Third Eastern Expedition blocked the attack of Saladin's army, and the two sides finally drew a tie and shook hands to make peace!
With the help of King Richard the Lionheart, the already shaky Kingdom of Jerusalem's national destiny continued for another whole century!
Jerusalem, captured by Saladin, was also reopened to Christians, allowing Christians to go on pilgrimage.
In Western history, Richard the Lionheart is recognized as one of the greatest kings and one of the most outstanding military commanders in medieval Europe.
In addition, he is also the top ten knights in Western history.
The image of King Richard the Lionheart wielding a battle ax and fighting on the battlefield is also deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and is well known in the Western world.
This battle ax and golden scepter was cast by King Richard the Lionheart to show off his martial arts, and he had celebrities imitate his own battle ax.
In the past, this battle ax and golden scepter only appeared in portraits of King Richard the Lionheart. No one in later generations has seen the real thing, and it has long since disappeared.
Over time, it became a legendary priceless treasure. People are not even sure whether it really exists!
But who would have thought that this priceless treasure was hidden in Boston, USA, sleeping deep underground for more than two hundred years.
It was only today that he was discovered by Xiao Ran and finally saw the light of day again.
Xiao Ran looked over and over the battle ax and golden scepter carefully before giving an appraisal conclusion.
"This battle ax and golden scepter does come from the medieval period. There are no problems with the shape, artistic style, and casting method."
"Combined with the various decorative patterns on the surface, especially the Plantagenet emblem, it is basically certain that this is the battle ax and golden scepter of King Richard the Lionheart."
"One more thing, this golden scepter is made of a lot of materials and the gold is of high purity. In the Middle Ages, no one would use so much gold for forgery."
Before he finished speaking, Professor Baker hurriedly continued:
"Yes, Sean, there is no doubt about this battle ax and golden scepter. It is indeed the scepter of Richard the Lionheart."
"Especially the shape of the three weapons, the axe, the spearhead, and the mace, are exactly the same as the golden scepter in the portrait of Richard the Lionheart."
"The discovery of this priceless treasure is definitely a great archaeological discovery."
Hearing this, everyone present nodded and was very excited.
Everyone knows that today's joint exploration operation will surely go down in history.
As a member of the joint exploration team, everyone on site is honored to be able to participate in this joint exploration operation.
Next, everyone discussed happily while admiring the battle ax and golden scepter.
While talking, Jack suddenly asked:
"Sean, what are you going to do with Richard the Lionheart's battle ax and golden scepter?"
"This priceless treasure was found in Boston, and I personally hope it stays in Boston."
Xiao Ran turned his head to look at this guy, pondered for a moment, and then responded.
"It's too early to say this now. Let's wait until we get back to the ground."
"There is another treasure in this box. I wonder what it is?"
"Let me open the box and take a look. Maybe there will be another huge surprise."
As he spoke, he put the battle ax and golden scepter of King Richard the Lion-Hearted into the box and handed it to the employee next to him.
Then he took out another box from the box and opened it carefully.
The top layer of the box is also made of white silk embroidered with gorse patterns.
After lifting up the two layers of white silk, what was hidden underneath was revealed to everyone.
At the same time, a bright golden light flashed across the scene.
This is a simple mountain-shaped crown, made entirely of gold, and looks more like a gold headband.
This golden crown is engraved with many complex and exquisite ornaments and patterns. There is a blooming gorse in front of the crown and on the left and right sides, which is very eye-catching!
In the center of the gorse in front of the crown is a huge top-grade ruby.
The moment they saw this golden crown, everyone was stunned and froze on the spot.
Only Xiao Ran's eyes flashed with pride.
"My God! This is the Plantagenet crown of Richard the Lionheart!"
With Professor Baker's exclamation, everyone was awakened.
At this time, the outside world was already boiling.
Even the White House and the two houses of Congress in Washington, as well as the British royal family and Buckingham Palace on the other side of the ocean, were completely shocked!
