The next day, Zhu Yu took Ran Jie and others to the presidential suite of the Hilton Hotel.

Although Old John endorsed it, Zhu Yu thought it was better to be cautious.

Tauris saw Qin Fei behind Zhu Yu holding a box, and a smile bloomed on his face.

In a room in the suite that was set up as a conference room, there were five people on Tauris' side.

In addition to the two black-clad bodyguards he saw that day, standing behind the chairs with their hands on each other's lower abdomens, there were two men on both sides of Tauris.

One was about sixty years old, wearing glasses, dressed casually, and with messy hair.

He also stared excitedly at the box in Qin Fei's hand, without even looking at the others.

The other one was about forty years old, a little bald, slightly fat, well-dressed, wearing a suit, more formal, and his expression was more reserved. He only glanced at the box occasionally, and then his eyes fell on Zhu Yu.

Zhu Yu and Qin Fei sat down. Ran Jie and Cao Dalong stood behind them, keeping alert at all times.

"Mr. Zhu Yu, let me introduce these two gentlemen to you."

Tauris pointed at the old man in his sixties who was still staring at the box in Qin Fei's hand and said:

"This is our famous archaeologist from the British Empire, Mr. Motoni Konla.

Mr. Motoni is not only an archaeologist, but also teaches at the University of London and is a famous graduate tutor.

In addition, Mr. Motoni has always studied the history of Wales, and Mr. Motoni’s teacher participated in the restoration of the Welsh gold shawl.”

This introduction is more important. Zhu Yu guessed that this was also the reason why Tauris invited Motoni over.

Although it has been authenticated in the video, who can guarantee that the things Zhu Yu brought over are authentic?

When Motoni heard Tauris introduce himself, he nodded politely to Zhu Yu, and then looked at the box again.

Qin Fei has placed the box on the table in front of him, but it is relatively close to him. He can put things away at any time if needed.

"This is Mr. Triserys. He has worked at the British Museum for six years, three of which were responsible for caring for and explaining the Welsh Molde shawls."

Triserys smiled politely at Zhu Yu.

"So," after the introduction, Tauris looked at Zhu Yu, "can we now display that rare and precious thing in front of us?"

Zhu Yu nodded and said:

"sure."

After hearing what he said, Qin Fei carefully opened the box, picked up the golden battle dress, and placed it on the table.

Almost the moment after seeing the battle dress, Motoni stood up, and then rushed over to hold the golden battle dress in his arms.

Qin Fei was startled and immediately pulled the thing back. Motoni jumped away and looked up at Qin Fei in surprise.

Tauris was also startled and shouted:

"Mr. Motoni! Please be careful!"

Only then did Motoni realize his gaffe, and he hurriedly said:

"I'm really sorry - but just by looking at it, I can basically confirm that this war skirt and Molde's golden shawl are from the same era and made of the same craftsmanship! This one is even more perfect!"

Zhu Yu didn't believe it. Wasn't this old man exaggerating? It felt like he was trying to rob!

He ignored the old man and looked at Tauris:

"Mr. Tauris, you should know how fragile this golden war skirt is! If this causes the war skirt to be deformed or damaged, I will not only cancel the possible transaction, but also apply for compensation from you!"

Tauris was also startled just now. He hurriedly said to Zhu Yu:

"Mr. Zhu Yu, it was an accident just now! Mr. Motoni was born in Wales and is very knowledgeable about the history of Wales!

He has also been committed to researching the origin of the gold shawl and gold war skirt, and finding the past glory of Wales - Mr. Motoni has always guessed that there must have been a very glorious ancient civilization in ancient Wales..."

"It's not a guess, it's true! It must exist! Otherwise, the existence of this battle dress and that shawl cannot be explained at all!" Motoni's voice was full of enthusiasm and determination.

"That's not the reason for you to snatch my war skirt!" Zhu Yu said coldly.

There is civilization but it is useless? Apart from that shawl and this war skirt, what other evidence exists? Nothing was found!

Even if foreign countries do not recognize the existence of the Xia Dynasty, at least there are a large number of things suspected to be Xia Dynasty ruins such as the Erlitou Culture.

What is there in Wales? Nothing has been dug out for more than a hundred years!

When Zhu Yu said this, Motoni was a little embarrassed, his face turned red, he endured it, and finally managed to say:

"This golden war dress belongs to Wales! As a Welshman, I have the responsibility to take it back!"

"Haha!" Zhu Yu retorted: "There are tens of thousands of Chinese cultural relics in the British Museum. You can ask them to return them to China, and then talk to me about returning the war skirt to you!"

With one sentence, he blocked out the rest of Motoni's words.

Taureus hurriedly smoothed things over:

"Mr. Zhu, don't get excited. I promise that this will not happen again. Also, please believe me, this is an accident!"

Zhu Yu saw that Tauris was more sincere, so he didn't pursue the matter further.

Seeing that Zhu Yu was no longer angry, Tauris turned his head and said sternly to Motoni:

"Mr. Motoni, I have warned you before coming here. I hope you will stop getting excited! If you behave like this again, then I will have no choice but to ask you out!"

When Tauris said this, Motoni could only nod his head even though he was a little reluctant.

"Okay, we can continue now." Tauris said with a smile, "I hope the accident just now will not affect our mood."

Zhu Yu nodded and said:

"Now you can identify it. But I hope you can exercise restraint."

After speaking, he gestured to Qin Fei.

Qin Fei pushed the golden war skirt to the center of the table again.

Motoni took out a magnifying glass, and Triserys stood up next to him and looked carefully at the gold dress.

Zhu Yu was not worried at all and just drank tea leisurely.

On the contrary, Qin Fei was very nervous and kept paying attention to Motoni, fearing that the old man would suddenly rush up and take away the golden dress, which would cause big trouble.

Fortunately, Motoni was really only excited for a moment before, but now that he saw the gold dress in his hand, he calmed down and looked at the patterns and craftsmanship on it with a magnifying glass with concentration.

It was said before that it was the same as the gold shawl, but when he was actually asked to identify it, he didn't hesitate.

Triserys also looked at it very carefully. He mainly looked at the patterns on the war skirt.

After watching for a while, he returned to his original sitting position, sighed and said to Zhu Yu:

"It is very similar to the pattern on the Molde shawl. Of course, because it is purely handmade, there must be some slight differences. But it can be seen that it is the same pattern.

in addition……"

When he said this, he turned to look at Tauris, hesitated and said:

"I can basically confirm that the specifications of this war skirt should be higher than that of that shawl! If it was unearthed from a tomb, then the level of this tomb should be higher!"

When he said this, he was obviously suspected of funding the enemy.

After all, the higher the value of this golden war dress, the more money Tauris has to pay Zhu Yu.

At this moment, Motoni suddenly said "Hey", and his hand had already reached out to the battle skirt.

Qin Fei moved the battle skirt over, not wanting Motoni to see it.

Having learned from the past, this old man is obviously very difficult to reassure others.

Qin Fei was wearing gloves and his movements were very steady, so Zhu Yu was not worried.

"Be careful!" Motoni reminded anxiously. He was also afraid that Qin Fei would deform the battle skirt.

Then he realized the reason for Qin Fei's actions and hurriedly explained:

"I saw a small scratch on the inside of the war skirt. The scratch was relatively complicated. Just now I was trying to determine whether the scratch was an unintentional damage or whether the text symbols of the time were retained..."

"What?" Tauris and Triserys both stood up after hearing this!

If it really had text symbols, then the value of this war skirt would be much higher!

Modern British people are the descendants of the Celts who crossed the sea from western Europe to the British Isles three thousand years ago.

The ancestor of modern English is Old English, which only began to appear in the fourth century AD, which is only 1,600 years ago.

If something similar to writing dating back more than 3,000 years ago were to be discovered on the British Isles, given the adequacy of the Western archaeological community, the entire world of archaeology would probably be shocked!

Zhu Yu smiled and said:

"Of course we have to take a good look. Qin Fei, let Professor Motoni take a look. But Mr. Motoni, please don't get excited, otherwise, it will be difficult to keep the skirt intact."

The meaning of Zhu Yu's words was very clear. Motoni was thick-skinned and pretended he didn't hear it. When Qin Fei pushed the golden battle skirt back, he immediately took action, turned it over, and looked carefully at the notch.

In fact, Zhu Yu had seen the scratch a long time ago, but he didn't think it was any writing. It might have been the mark left by the craftsmen at that time when they were striking the pattern.

Of course, it is also possible that the war skirt was left behind due to scratches after it was worn on the tomb owner.

Zhu Yu had graduated from university after all, and had done some research on the inheritance of Chinese characters.

If it were really a text symbol, then such a scratch would be comparable to the 8,000-year-old Jiahu bone flute - but this scratch is obviously not that clear, and the location is not so obvious.
