After Henry finished introducing the relevant deeds of Michael Servetus, Xiao Ran immediately continued:
"Gentlemen, I believe you all know that under normal circumstances, I will not collect antiques with strong religious connotations, unless they are top-notch antiques from China."
"Servite's thigh bone is among them. Although its historical and cultural research value is very high, I will not collect this antique artifact."
"Here, I plan to donate Servetus's thigh bone to the Louvre and Sorbonne University free of charge. I wonder if you are interested in accepting it?"
As he said that, he looked at the two guys, Henry and Connell.
To him, Servetus's blackened thigh bone was an extremely hot potato, even a bomb that could explode at any time.
As the first martyr and saint of Unitarian Christianity, the few Christian Unitarian churches that still exist in the world will be crazy about this thigh bone.
In order to obtain the remains of the saint in their minds, it is possible for those Unitarian churches to do anything crazy no matter how crazy they do.
In addition to a few Unitarian churches, the Vatican and many other church organizations will also jump out and want to get this thigh bone, and then continue to suppress it!
There will definitely be a lot of competition around Servetus' thigh bone, and even a life-and-death fight!
If this blackened thigh bone was in Xiao Ran's hands, he would become the target of public criticism and never think about having a peaceful life again!
Because of this, he made a prompt decision.
Throw this time bomb at the Louvre and the Sorbonne and let the French deal with the crazy religious elements.
The Louvre is a museum and the Sorbonne is a top university in France. They are both cultural groups, not church organizations, and they have no conflict with any church.
It is undoubtedly the most appropriate for them to deal with Servetus' thigh bone.
"ah!"
Henry and Connell both exclaimed and froze on the spot.
They still don't understand that Xiao Ran is trying to divert this huge trouble to the Louvre and the Sorbonne!
But understanding is one thing, being able to refuse is another!
Such an important antique cultural relic was given to them by Xiao Ran for free without any conditions in exchange. They couldn't say no to it!
What's more, this is a live broadcast for the whole world. With the status and influence of the Louvre and Sorbonne University in the cultural world, they cannot refuse such a heavyweight donation!
Not only Henry and Cornell, but everyone else saw it.
Xiao Ran made it clear that he was trying to get rid of this trouble as soon as possible, otherwise he would never be so generous!
After understanding this, everyone couldn't help but sigh.
"Shaun is so cunning. He thought of the best way to deal with it so quickly. It's admirable!"
"Wow! How does this guy's head look like? He seems to be plotting against others all the time, and others are the only ones to be plotted against!"
"He was very generous. Now the pressure is on the Louvre and the Sorbonne. I don't know if they dare to accept this hot potato."
Just when people are talking about it, many people and organizations in front of the live broadcast wish they could replace it with the Louvre and the Sorbonne University!
If they were put in Henry and Cornell's position, they would nod without hesitation and accept this extremely precious black thigh bone.
Among these people and organizations, there are many top museums, several Unitarian churches, the Vatican and other churches, many universities, and even religious extremists.
They all want to get this special thigh bone, but their purposes are different.
Henry and Cornell, under the spotlight, finally woke up.
They looked at each other, exchanged glances, and then nodded helplessly.
"Okay, Sean, on behalf of the Louvre and the Sorbonne, we accept your heavyweight donation."
"Thank you very much for your support of the Louvre and Sorbonne University. When we display Servetus's thigh bone, we will make a special note that it is this antique artifact that you donated."
Although they were saying thank you, Henry and Cornell felt their teeth were itching.
"You're welcome, Henry, Cornell, I hope this heavyweight antique artifact can advance your research in related areas."
Xiao Ran said politely with a smile.
What a waste of research!
Next, just dealing with various church organizations will give us a splitting headache!
Henry and Cornell secretly exchanged some words.
Then, they stepped forward in person, put on gloves and carefully inspected the thigh bone, then closed the box with solemn expressions and took it back.
After they finished this action, Xiao Ran stepped forward and checked some of the situations in the secret room.
There is nothing else in this dark room. All the things hidden in the dark room have been taken out.
Next, Xiao Ran checked the remaining rows of seats on the trial bench and some other places.
After a while, he found another small hidden compartment under the first seat on the right side of the fourth floor.
It was still Pierre and the others who opened this secret compartment.
From this secret room, they took out two sheepskin scrolls tightly wrapped in oilcloth.
One of the parchment scrolls is a Bible from the medieval period, which is quite different from modern Bibles.
To be more precise, the content recorded on this parchment scroll is only a small part of the Bible, not the entire Bible.
Even so, it is still a valuable antique relic and historical document with high historical and cultural research value.
The second parchment scroll was a prisoner roster.
The names of the prisoners recorded on it were all prisoners who had been imprisoned in the underground secret prison of the Inquisition, as well as many religious heretics.
These prisoners come from a period spanning more than thirty years from the 1770s to the early 18th century.
Without exception, all of these prisoners died in this secret religious prison, with the word "death" written behind each person's name!
Among these people, there are many famous celebrities in history, including scientists and pagans, but the most common ones are witches!
Seeing this sheepskin scroll filled with the aura of death, everyone felt chills running down their backs and were extremely frightened!
After Cornell finished introducing the situation of this parchment scroll, Xiao Ran couldn't help but express a few words of emotion.
"Obviously, the famous witch-hunting movement in Western history ended not at the beginning of the seventeenth century, but at the beginning of the eighteenth century."
"It's just that during the 100 years from the 17th to the 18th century, the witch-hunting movement went underground and became more secretive, but it never stopped!"
"The name of the witch recorded on this sheepskin scroll is the most powerful evidence, enough to explain this matter."
Hearing his words, Henry and Connell looked at each other and nodded.
But they didn't agree, even if they agreed with Xiao Ran's point of view.
The reason is simple. The witch hunt is one of the darkest and most inhumane events in the history of the Western world and Christianity, and there are many taboos.
Western historians generally believe that the witch-hunting movement began in the fifteenth century and ended in the early seventeenth century.
The discovery of the parchment scroll in front of us has pushed back the end of the witch hunt by a full hundred years. That is no joke!
For a whole hundred years, God knows how many innocent women were treated as witches and secretly arrested and killed by the Holy See.
Once this conclusion is confirmed, some history in the West may be rewritten, and the impact will be huge!
After checking the two sheepskin scrolls, Xiao Ran asked his employees to collect them and put them into a portable safe.
They continued to explore, but found nothing more at this altar and judgment seat.
The same goes for other places around. No other hidden compartments or walls were found.
Ten minutes later, Xiao Ran finally finished checking the altar and its surroundings.
Immediately afterwards, he took Pierre and others to the first room on the left side of the west side of the underground palace, preparing to open this room!
After confirming that there were no traps at the door of the room, Xiao Ran used hydraulic pliers to cut off the rusty lock on the door, and then slowly opened the door.
With his movements, the situation in this room suddenly appeared before everyone's eyes.
The next moment, Henry and the others standing at the door suddenly exclaimed.
"Oh my God! There are so many oil paintings hidden here, it's incredible!"
