In a matter of moments, the fragments on the stone tablet had completely fallen off.
Hidden under the outer layer of fake skin is a marble stone tablet, which is also semi-elliptical in shape, but smaller than before.
Except for the two little angels carved on the top of the stele, as well as the vague cross and coat of arms.
There are also a large number of words engraved on this stone tablet that look like ancient Latin.
However, due to the age, these words are somewhat blurred, but fortunately, most of them can still be identified.
As the marble stele was fully revealed, the scene suddenly became quiet.
Xiao Ran, David, and Fang Yufei behaved quite calmly, but they were just happy.
Elaine and Adrian had shocked expressions, both dumbfounded and extremely excited.
Obviously, Adrian also recognized the origin of this marble tablet.
After finishing the performance, Xiao Ran put the hammer aside and immediately stepped forward to examine the marble tablet that had been hidden for seventy or eighty years.
As he stepped forward, he pretended to be surprised and said:
"The emblem on the stele seems to be the symbol of the French Merovingian Dynasty, but it's a little blurry."
"Combined with the shape of this marble stele, isn't this the same stele that records the conversion of Clovis I, the founder of the Frankish Kingdom, to Catholicism?"
"If it is really that stone tablet, then there is no doubt that it is one of France's most important national treasures and one of the most important antique cultural relics in the Western world."
Following his words, everyone at the scene woke up.
The next moment, Elaine burst into cheers.
"That's great, my dear. It's amazing that you discovered one of France's most important national treasures!"
With that said, she rushed up to hug Xiao Ran and kissed him on the face.
Compared to her, Adrian acted even more exaggeratedly.
This guy quickly took two steps forward, threw himself directly on the marble monument, and said with excitement and trembling:
"You are right, Sean. This is indeed the legendary stone tablet that records Clovis I's conversion to Catholicism. It is a national treasure of France."
"After Clovis I defeated Sigrius, the last governor of Gaul in the Roman Empire, he established the historical Frankish Kingdom"
"After occupying northern Gaul, Clovis I chose to convert to Catholicism. He was the first among the Germanic barbarians to abandon paganism."
"This action had an extremely important impact on the history of France and Western Europe, and also played a decisive role in Clovis I's later occupation of the entire Gaul region."
"To commemorate this great historical moment, his descendant Clotaire II engraved this event on this stone tablet. Since then, this stone tablet has become a French national treasure."
"Not only France, but all the countries founded by the Germans regard this stone monument as a national treasure. During World War II, this stone monument disappeared and has never been seen again."
"Who would have thought that this French national treasure would be cleverly hidden in this way? It was actually in my store, but like an idiot, I missed this treasure."
At this point, Adrian's body shook suddenly and he almost fell to the ground.
Fortunately, Xiao Ran reacted very quickly and quickly reached out to support him.
In order to prevent this guy from regretting and dying on the spot, Xiao Ran quickly gave him a few words of advice.
"Adrian, you don't have to blame yourself and be depressed. After all, you once owned this French national treasure."
"You should feel lucky that this French national treasure was not completely buried, but was discovered by me, and you also witnessed this scene."
"If you think about it this way, you should be in a better mood. In fact, you don't have to worry about whether you missed it. Once you have seen it, you own it!"
"Puch!"
Elaine and David both chuckled, they couldn't help it!
Adrian turned his head and rolled his eyes at Xiao Ran angrily.
But he did feel a little better and wasn't in so much pain anymore.
He also understood that if it weren't for Xiao Ran's keen eye, this French national treasure would have been completely buried and would never see the light of day again.
Even if this French national treasure is kept in his store for a long time, he will never be able to discover the secret hidden in it.
Although this is true, why do the words of this bastard Sean sound so awkward?
Co-author I missed this important French national treasure, and you guy picked it up in a shocking way. Do I still have to thank you?
Thinking of this, Adrian felt aggrieved.
Seeing that his condition had recovered, Xiao Ran stopped talking to this guy.
While studying the French national treasure in front of him, he said quickly:
"Elaine, call Pierre immediately, tell him about this, and ask him to identify this French national treasure through video."
"If he wants to come to the Saint-Ouan market, he can have a helicopter pick him up, and then call good Henry and Lawrence to inform them of the situation."
"David, please call the Cultural Counselor of the US Embassy and ask him to come to the Saint-Ouan Antique Market immediately to ensure our interests."
"Anthony, tighten security immediately. From now on, no one can enter this antique store without my permission. This treasure is too important and must be fully prepared."
Before they finished speaking, Elaine and David immediately nodded and responded:
"Okay, Sean, we'll make a call right now."
With that said, they took out their mobile phones and started calling all parties to report the situation.
It is conceivable that these calls they made will definitely cause a huge sensation.
Listening to Xiao Ran's series of arrangements, Adrian on the side suddenly felt his eyelids twitching and he was terrified.
Immediately afterwards, this guy whispered in a low voice:
"Sean, this stone monument is so important. It is a well-deserved French national treasure."
"It was found in my shop again and I hope it stays in France, in Paris."
Xiao Ran turned to look at this guy, then smiled and said:
"Don't worry, Adrian. Since I am an atheist, I never collect such religious Western antiques."
"Under normal circumstances, this French national treasure should stay in France. In fact, the French government will not allow me to take this treasure out of France."
"However, if the French government wants to keep this treasure, it has to pay a certain price. There is no such thing as a free lunch. You should understand this."
Adrian paused, then nodded helplessly.
"As long as this treasure can be kept in France, I believe the French government will agree to your terms."
"It seems that the rumors about you are correct at all. You are known to be ruthless and ruthless. The French government will be in trouble."
"Hahaha"
Xiao Ran laughed directly without any embarrassment.
At this moment, Elaine walked over quickly with a phone and turned on the video.
On the screen of the mobile phone was an excited Pierre.
Coming closer, Elaine pointed the phone camera directly at the marble monument and explained a few words.
"My dear, Pierre is going to take a look at this marble monument, and then come to the Saint-Ouan antique market."
Before he finished speaking, Pierre's excited voice came from the mobile phone.
"Sean, your judgment is correct. This is indeed the legendary stone tablet recording Clovis I's conversion to Catholicism. It is a national treasure of France."
“On the front of this stone tablet is engraved the story of Clovis’ conversion to Catholicism, and on the back is the Salic Code formulated by Clovis I.”
"Clovis I led the Franks to convert to the Orthodox Church, which was an epoch-making event in the history of the development of Christianity and the history of France."
"The rediscovery of this stone tablet can be regarded as one of the most important discoveries in France in recent decades. You are so lucky, you are simply the favorite of God."
Hearing this, Xiao Ran suddenly smiled proudly.
"Haha, I've always had good luck, and it's the same today. I'm lucky enough to find this treasure."
"Pierre, I will arrange a helicopter to pick you up. You can just wait at home."
"Okay Sean, I can't wait to see this French national treasure"
Pierre nodded excitedly.
"The Baptism of Clovis I"
