Found 100 Million In My Rented Apartment-Chapter 1728 - : Genuine, But Not Entirely Real

Chapter 1728: Genuine, But Not Entirely Real

Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

“The last two items are more magical than the previous one.” When Anjou Taylor said this, the corners of his mouth curled up into a meaningful smile.

“Magical?” Seeing this, Anjou Prince immediately picked up the magnifying glass and carefully observed and appraised it.

The second item was a treasured sword.

To be more precise, it was a standard medieval knight’s sword.

The long sword was sharpened and looked like it had been through a battle. There was a lot of minor wear and tear on the blade and the sword’s edge.

The entire sword, be it historical traces, workmanship, materials, etc., could not be found to be flawed.

Especially the small unique inscription on the hilt of the sword, which exposed its identity and origin.

…

After Anjou Prince finished appraising it, she immediately said with certainty, “This Knight’s Longsword is definitely authentic.”

“Whether from the perspective of history or the sword itself, every detail is impeccable!”

“Especially the unique Lancelot Runes that have been through countless battles and fires, baptized by flesh and blood, and finally filled up. The hollow Lancelot Runes are even more impossible to replicate!”

“Because no one knows what complicated conditions, what kind of flesh and blood, and the process needed to finally achieve such an inscription…”

…

“I’ve seen the information about this sword at the Sotheby’s auction house. Many top appraisers in the Empire of the Sun Never Sets unanimously concluded that the inscriptions on it which were filled with blood, sweat, and unknown elements, could no longer be copied!”

“Even if the owner of this sword is reborn, it won’t work!”

“That’s why I can guarantee that this is the sword of Lancelot, one of the Knights of the Round Table during King Arthur’s era!”

Anjou Taylor smiled and did not say anything, he only looked at Ye Feng.

Seeing this, Anjou Prince also looked over.

Ye Feng could only say, “Prince is telling the truth.”

When Anjou Prince heard this, she subconsciously relaxed and was about to reply.

But Ye Feng continued, “But, the conclusion she gave is wrong.”

“Lancelot’s Knight’s Longsword was broken by him in the Middle Ages!”

“During the Battle of Camlann, King Arthur died in battle. After Queen Guinevere received the news, she went to the monastery to repent. Lancelot, who was deeply in love with her, went to the monastery to ask for a meeting. However, no matter how much Lancelot begged, she refused to see him. In despair, he became a monk.”

“And the knight’s sword that accompanied him for his entire life was broken by him the night before he became a monk!”

“Therefore, although the inscriptions on this knight’s longsword were indeed forged by Lancelot’s flesh and blood during the war and cannot be faked, this sword is still not authentic!”

“…”

“But… How is that possible?” Anjou Prince’s mouth was wide open, and she could not figure it out. “Since the inscription on the hilt of the knight’s longsword was indeed cast from Lancelot’s flesh and blood during the war, and the other parts of the knight’s longsword are also in line with the style of King Arthur’s era, how can it not be authentic?”

“I don’t understand.”

Anjou Taylor looked at Ye Feng in surprise. “Mr. Ye, please continue.”

Ye Feng picked up the Knight’s Longsword and tried to wave it, he then smiled. “Because this Knight’s Longsword is made from two Knight’s Longswords.”

“The hilt is from Lancelot’s Knight’s Longsword, and the blade is from another Knight’s Longsword of the same period.”

“In this way, the Lancelot traces on the sword hilt are impeccable, and the sword body will also match all the details of that era.”

“So, it’s the real deal, but not entirely real.”

“Oh my god!” Anjou Prince did not expect this to happen even in her dreams, she turned to look at her father. “Is Ye Feng right?”

“Did this sword come from this?”

“Isn’t the fellow who created the fake a little too smart? In such a situation, the appraisers of the future would almost be unable to see any clues!”

Anjou Taylor nodded. “Mr. Ye, you are indeed worthy of the evaluation of a top-notch figure in the field of antique appraisal!”

“This Lancelot’s Knight’s Longsword is indeed a combination of two Knight’s Longswords. It has been circulating in the upper society of the Empire for many years, but no one has ever noticed anything unusual about it. If it wasn’t for my friend who accidentally saved an old man whose ancestor happened to be a follower of Lancelot and knew the inside story, this Knight’s Longsword might have been passed off as genuine in the high society of Fog City for a long time!”

“Mr. Ye is the first appraiser to see through this sword without relying on other methods!”

Ye Feng smiled and did not reply.

Anjou Prince was delighted. “Father, you have also acknowledged Ye Feng’s skill in antiques, right? Then let’s not look at the third antique anymore. Let’s just move on to the next segment.”

“Save everyone’s time.”

Anjou Taylor probably had similar intentions. He only thought for a moment before nodding. “That’s good too.”

“After the first two rounds of appraisal, Mr. Ye has indeed proved his attainments in antiques…”

Ye Feng turned his gaze to the third item. “Are you sure you don’t want me to appraise the third item?”

Anjou Taylor’s words froze.

“What do you think of this painting?” He asked.

“The person who gave me this painting said that the situation regarding this painting is still an unsolved case in the collection world of the Empire.”

“This painting, ‘The Last Judgement’ is not Michelangelo’s work, and it doesn’t even look like it was done by him. However, after the joint appraisal of countless appraisers, it can be confirmed that this painting is indeed from the Renaissance period when Michelangelo lived. There are a few popular conjectures on the market at the moment. Either other painters at that time imitated Michelangelo’s masterpiece ‘The Last Judgement,’ or it’s a fake from the Renaissance that has been passed down to this day…”

Ye Feng shook his head. “These deductions, although they are very reasonable, they are all wrong.”

“This ‘The Last Judgement’ is neither an imitation nor a fake.”

“Strictly speaking, it’s actually a masterpiece of a famous artist, and its value is extremely shocking.”

“Once its true origin is exposed, it can be sold for at least 100 million dollars!”
