After sending Hassan and the others away, Ye Tian returned to the living room, sat down on the sofa, then took his IPAD and started a video call with someone.
On the other side of the video screen is Professor Paul on the other side of the ocean.
This white man is a professor at the School of History at Columbia University in New York. His research focuses on Middle Eastern Arab history. He is proficient in Arabic and has collaborated with Ye Tian before.
Although Hassan, who has just left this suite, is a genuine Arab, his understanding of medieval Arabic and medieval Arab history is not that comprehensive.
So Ye Tian did not ask Hassan Translator to identify the inscriptions, various badges and special marks on those medieval Arab antiques, but instead approached Professor Paul.
After all, there are specialties in the arts. One is an assassin who takes human lives, and the other is a historian who is a master of knowledge. These are two completely different fields, and it is unlikely to cross the border!
Of course, Ye Tian himself is an exception!
As soon as the video request was sent, it was accepted.
The next moment, Professor Paul appeared on the video screen and said excitedly:
"Steven, you finally sent a video request. Since I received your call a few hours ago, I have been waiting to video with you, admiring and appraising those medieval Arabic antiques.
Who would have thought that the wait would last for three or four hours. It was really excruciating. If I had known this, I might as well have flown directly to Portugal, so that I could at least see those medieval Arab antiques with my own eyes.
Okay, let me take a look at those medieval Arabian antiques you just discovered. One more thing, when are you going to explore Atlantis? My hair is almost turning gray!
Now that you have arrived in Portugal and are not far from Casablanca, why not go to Africa and explore Atlantis? If you have this plan, don’t forget to take me with you."
Hearing these words, Ye Tian immediately smiled and said:
“As for the exploration of Atlantis, the time is not yet ripe. In fact, my employees have been doing work in this area, collecting information, surveying terrain, etc., but they have not announced it to the outside world.
Now that we have reached an agreement, I will not break my promise. If we go to Casablanca to explore Atlantis, we will definitely cooperate with you. Before that, you still need to keep this matter strictly confidential.
Let’s not talk about the exploration of Atlantis. Please help me translate the inscriptions and special marks on these medieval Arabic antiques first, so that I can give the most accurate identification conclusion and valuation."
With that said, Ye Tian opened a box next to the coffee table, took out Saladin's Mamluk golden cavalry helmet, and placed it in front of the IPAD's camera.
With his action, this dazzling and priceless top antique cultural relic immediately appeared on the video screen and appeared in front of Professor Paul's eyes.
At the same time, Ye Tian also gave his own identification conclusion.
“This dazzling Mamluk golden cavalry helmet was found deep underground in the main church of Tomar. It is part of the treasure of the Knights Templar and is packed in a mottled wooden box.
On this Mamluk gold cavalry helmet, I found the coat of arms of the Ayyubid family of Tikrit, Iraq. Combined with other discoveries, I am sure that this is the cavalry helmet of the great Saladin,... ”
Looking at this dazzling golden cavalry helmet and listening to Ye Tian’s professional and precise explanation, Professor Paul on the other end of the video was completely dumbfounded and looked dumbfounded.
A moment later, an almost crazy exclamation suddenly came from the video, coming from Professor Paul.
"There is no doubt that this is the golden cavalry helmet of the great Saladin. I swear to God! Steven, what on earth did you find? This is crazy!"
Seeing Professor Paul's performance, Ye Tian suddenly showed a proud smile on his face, as did David and Jason who were also in this luxurious suite.
……
It took Professor Paul more than an hour to translate the inscriptions on the medieval Arab antiques and give his own appraisal conclusion based on his historical knowledge.
The appraisal conclusion he gave was almost the same as the appraisal conclusion Ye Tian gave when he was in the main church, but it was not that specific, and he did not give the valuation of the corresponding antique cultural relics.
For Ye Tian, this is just a formality and superficiality, just to make everything seem reasonable in order to cope with the scrutiny of the outside world.
In fact, he knows better than anyone else the true value of those medieval Arab antiques.
After completing the translation work, Ye Tian chatted with Professor Paul for a few more words, and then ended the video call.
At this time, it was already evening, and dusk was gradually rising.
The banquet hall of the hotel where Ye Tian and the others were staying was brightly lit and very lively.
A group of high-level government officials, led by Portuguese Deputy Minister of Culture and Mayor of Tomar Barbosa, as well as several senior monks from the Portuguese Jesuits, have already arrived in this banquet hall.
In addition, there are also many journalists from Portugal and major news media around the world gathered here, all of them are extremely excited, and everyone is carrying long guns and short cannons.
The reason why these people gathered here is because they are waiting for Ye Tian and the others to take a look at the four boxes of medieval Arabic antiques they just discovered this morning!
In the luxurious suite upstairs, Ye Tian used a few improvised leather belts to put the Assassin sect's two hidden swords on his left and right forearms, then put on his coat and tied the two sleeve swords on his left and right forearms. The sword was covered up.
Immediately afterwards, he stretched his arms and made a few fighting movements, and then said with emotion:
"The pair of hidden swords designed by the Assassins are really great! They are definitely the ultimate weapon for close-up sneak attacks. In critical moments, they can also be used to block the sword's slashes and gain a breathing space.
In history, the reason why the assassins of the Assassin faction were able to successfully assassinate so many important figures, which frightened everyone, was that this highly concealable hidden sword was a very important reason."
"Yes, this thing is indeed insidious, especially when an Arab assassin in a robe performs it, it is even more difficult to guard against. Who would have guessed that the oncoming pedestrians actually have such a deadly thing tied to their arms!"
Mattis nodded and said, with a bit of envy in his eyes.
While they were talking, Bishop Kent and the others knocked on the door and walked into this luxurious suite.
"Steven, it's almost time. Should we go to the banquet hall downstairs? Those Portuguese officials, Jesuit monks, and many media reporters are probably impatient to wait."
Bishop Kent said as soon as he entered the door and pointed outside.
Ye Tian raised his hand and looked at his watch, then nodded with a smile and said:
"Indeed, we should go to the banquet hall to hold a press conference, otherwise someone will curse me behind my back"
After finishing speaking, he immediately pointed to the four boxes placed in the living room, asked Jason to lead people to move the four boxes onto the hand luggage cart, and then followed everyone to the banquet hall to announce today's exploration results.
While Jason and the others were busy, Bishop Kent called Ye Tian aside and whispered to him:
“I have already called His Majesty the Pope and asked him to bring his people to Portugal to sit in charge. The Vatican responded immediately, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs contacted Portugal to arrange His Majesty the Pope’s visit.
His Majesty the Pope will be able to arrive in Portugal at noon tomorrow at the latest. They may have to stay in Lisbon for one or two days, and may even have to attend a Mass before they can come to Tomar and join us."
Ye Tian nodded slightly and said with a smile:
"The time is just right. With this time, I can just deal with these four boxes of valuable medieval Arabic antiques. Tomorrow morning, many top collectors will come to Tomar to participate in my private auction."
"Hahaha, you are really greedy and don't miss any opportunity to make money. The old man from the mountains of the Assassin sect who just left this hotel must have been killed by you! ”
Bishop Kent smiled and whispered, giving Ye Tian a thumbs up.
After chatting for a few words, Jason and the others were ready to move four boxes of priceless medieval Arabian antiques onto two luggage carts.
Then, Ye Tian and Bishop Kent left the luxurious suite and went to the banquet hall downstairs.
Soon, a press conference that will shock the world will be held.
Especially the entire Muslim world will be completely shocked by this press conference!
