Frank, York, and the others looked horrified as storage unit 35 was abandoned like a pair of worn-out shoes.
This storage unit was the highest bid. It had cost the two of them at least 100,000 dollars. Even if the other storage units were profitable, they were still embarrassed.
To treasure hunters like Frank and York, making a mistake in the highest bid was a very embarrassing thing. It was no wonder that Frank was so angry.
With the people who were cleaning up the unit, Frank walked forward with a livid face.
Someone cautiously reminded him, "Boss Frank, this storage unit hasn't been cleaned up yet."
Frank said angrily, "Shut up! Don't bother with this storage unit. Come with me to clean up the next one! "
York smiled. "Don't be angry, brother. The stuff in storage unit 28 is definitely not a problem. Our information is very reliable. There's something we need in there."
Hearing this, a treasure hunter immediately asked with interest, "What reliable information did you get?"
York said, "You'll see it soon. A military storage unit that introduces an epic battle is about to be revealed in front of you!"
Li Du snapped his fingers. He was the only one there who understood what York had said.
Obviously, York and Frank knew where the props for the movie Troy were.
The little bug flew out of his hand. He was full of energy now. Let's do some damage to the two of them.
Before everyone reached storage unit 28, the little bug flew in first. The shields, armor, bows, swords, and other weapons used in the movie were all kept in good condition.
Troy had been in production since 2002 and was released in May 2004. At the beginning of the release, the main actors had worn costumes and weapons to participate in promotional activities.
The main actors were very strong. The popular Brad Pitt and the elven prince Orlando Bloom were the main actors. Helen was played by the famous Hollywood beauty Diane Kruger. There were also Eric Bana and other strong actors. The movie had been very influential at that time.
Therefore, the important props for such movies were valuable.
It was a pity that the most important props were not here. That was the Trojan Horse, the main character of this war.
Li Du had done some research on the Internet. The Trojan Horse used in the movie was not an ordinary prop. It was a blueprint created by the collaboration of three concept artists. The main materials were not wood, but steel and fiberglass.
In addition, the Trojan Horse used advanced technology to decorate its exterior, making it look like a wooden product. It was about 38 feet tall and weighed 11 tons. After it was built, it took four weeks just to assemble it!
Of course, such an important prop could not be left for treasure hunters. After the movie was released, it was bought by an ancient war fanatic collector, and the price was — 800,000 dollars!
The reason why Li Du had inquired about the trojan horse was to estimate the value of the other items.
According to his estimation, the two sets of imitation Greek armor, the shield used by Peter, and the weapons used by the others could be sold for more than a hundred thousand.
However, there was a prerequisite for it to be sold at such a high price, which was that the item had not been damaged or worn out.
The little bug found the shield and tried its best to absorb the time energy in it. The wooden shield, which was painted with the winged pegasus and wrapped in bronze, quickly oxidized.
Copper rust grew on the bronze skin, and the black paint used by the Pegasus gradually peeled off. In the end, the shield aged beyond recognition.
After leaving the shield, the little bug flew towards the armor and weapons …
Frank and York walked to warehouse 28. They unlocked the door and pulled it open. The movers started to work.
Knowing that the two employers were not in a good mood, the workers were very enthusiastic and worked very hard to clear a path.
York frowned and said, "What if the actress finds out that the motorcycles are fake?"
Frank said nonchalantly, "Then don't inform her. We don't want to do business with her."
York smiled awkwardly and said, "Sorry brother, I've already informed her."
"F * ck, you idiot!" Frank was suddenly angry again.
York quickly found an excuse. "Who knew that both of us would make a mistake? But it's okay, we can ask her if she's interested in the props from the movie 'Troy,' right? "
Frank said with a gloomy face, "I hope that bitch will be interested."
They both knew that this was an extravagant hope. The other party was a Hollywood celebrity. If she liked such props, would she need them to collect them? Besides, she only liked to collect all kinds of famous motorcycles.
The junk was moved away and the path was cleared. They opened the storage boxes one by one to look for the props mentioned in the news.
Finally, a simple, ancient Roman-style wooden box appeared in front of them. Frank was overjoyed. He waved his hand and said, "Someone come over and carry this out for me!"
York ran over enthusiastically and said, "Come on, buddy, let's do it ourselves. These guys are clumsy, I don't trust them."
The wooden box was carried out. The treasure hunters crowded at the warehouse entrance again, craning their necks to look inside.
Frank opened the box. He and York looked inside. Their faces were filled with joy. They each reached out and picked up a piece of armor, shouting, "Look, the Trojan War …"
Before they could finish, the hemp rope, fishing line, and iron wire connecting the armor broke. The Roman-style armor broke into several pieces. The cowhide and iron pieces that made up the armor were scattered!
The expressions on their faces froze!
Under the armor was the shield. The two of them saw how old and broken the shield had become. As for the weapons and props, they had lost their luster and were also worthless!
The surrounding treasure hunters could not see the shields and weapons. They only saw the broken armor and started discussing.
"Hey, what's that? Looks like the armor broke. "
"What did he say? The Trojan War? D * mmit, I know what that is! "
"Warner Brothers filmed 'Troy,' the movie that Brad Pitt filmed, right?"
"I think so. Are the weapons and armor used in the movie inside? But the armor seems to be broken! "
"Maybe it was improperly preserved. The connecting rope is rotten."
"That's not important. Can't they just reconnect it? But this will affect the value of the props, right? "
The treasure hunters discussed fervently. From Frank's words and the armor they saw, they deduced the truth of the matter.
In addition, they also deduced that the props did not seem to be well preserved. Something might have gone wrong. This could be seen from the expressions of Frank and York.
Li Du crossed his arms and asked, "Didn't they say there's a military storage for the epic war? Where is it? "
Frank closed the box and gritted his teeth. "F * ck! D * mmit! What's wrong with this auction?! "
