Chapter 2678 2 Sculptures

"Gentlemen, if we see an Excel sheet filled with filled color blocks on an oil painting, the first thing we should think of is, is this the work of the master artist Mondrian?"

Ye Tian joked, introducing an oil painting in his hand.

As he said, the oil painting he is holding now is full of colorful filled color blocks, which looks like an Excel spreadsheet filled with various colors.

After Picasso's cubist oil paintings, Ye Tian successively removed the moisture-proof tarpaulins wrapped around the last two easels.

As expected, what appeared in front of everyone were still two priceless top artworks.

And these two oil paintings are both made by the same artist, that is the famous Dutch painter, behind-the-scenes artist of the De Stijl movement and the founder of non-figurative painting, art master Piet Mondrian!

At this time, what Ye Tian explained and introduced to everyone was the last oil painting from Balbo's secret room, that is, Mondrian's color Excel sheet!

"Hahaha"

There was a burst of laughter at the scene, and everyone laughed.

After the laughter subsided, Ye Tian put away this Mondrian painting, rewrapped it with a tarpaulin, and gently put it aside!

Afterwards, everyone turned their eyes away from the oil painting and turned to look at the wooden box still placed in the center of the secret room. Everyone's eyes were full of curiosity and anticipation.

Ye Tian glanced at the crowd, then smiled and said:

"Gentlemen, I'm going to enter Balbo's secret room next to check the situation of the wooden box. For safety's sake, it's best for everyone to avoid it to avoid any accidents!"

Hearing this, everyone nodded, and then dodged to the sides, avoiding the front of the secret room.

Next, Ye Tian told David and Derek a few more words, and then bowed and walked into the secret room.

After entering the secret room, he did not immediately check the wooden box in the center of the secret room, but took a quick look at the secret room.

Except for the wall where the door is located, the other three walls of this secret room are all made of stones and strips of different sizes, which are very strong and have a very long history.

It can be seen from this that these three walls are part of the original Roman dungeon, and have not been modified by later generations, and there are no hidden secrets, let alone traps.

The situation on the ground of the secret room is the same, it is covered with large or small stone slabs, it is very solid, and there is no trace of any mechanism traps!

Seventy or eighty years ago, after the Italian Air Force Marshal Balbo got this Roman-style building, he just used it as a hidden treasure, and did not set any traps!

The reason for this situation is probably that Balbo had to do so in order to deceive others.

He didn't want anyone to know about the existence of this secret house, so he didn't make any big renovations here, and he didn't invite professionals to set up traps to avoid attracting attention.

After confirming that the walls and ground in the secret room were safe, Ye Tian walked to the wooden box in the center of the secret room and pretended to inspect it seriously.

This is a chest made of oak,

The shape is simple, boxy, and very strong. Although it has been stored in this secret room for seven or eighty years, it is still intact!

On the front of the box, hung an old-fashioned lock, locking the box.

As for what is contained in this box, it is temporarily unknown. Only by opening this box can everyone know the truth!

Ye Tian inspected the whole wooden box, not missing a single corner, and found no traps.

Afterwards, he carefully lifted the wooden box a little bit, checked the situation under the box, and still found nothing wrong.

After completing this series of performances, he walked out of the secret room.

As soon as he returned to the utility room outside, he said to Derek and the others:

"Derek, the wooden box in the middle of the secret room is safe, no traps have been found, go in and lift it out, but be careful, that wooden box is quite heavy!"

"No problem, Steven, just leave it to us"

Derek nodded in response, and then walked into the secret room with another company employee.

After a while, the wooden box was brought out and placed on the floor of the utility room.

Afterwards, Ye Tian took the hydraulic pliers that had been prepared, cut off the old-fashioned lock on the wooden box, unscrewed it and threw it aside!

At the same time, the Bishop of Kent and the others also rushed forward, looking at the old but strong oak box with great anticipation.

After Ye Tian took off the rusty lock, he looked at these old friends, and said with a smile:

"Gentlemen, let's take a look together, what treasure is in this box? I hope it is a huge surprise, and that would be great!"

As he spoke, he gently opened the wooden box a crack, and then stopped again.

There was no abnormal noise coming from the box, no bullets or bolts shot out, nothing happened, it was very quiet!

After a short pause, Ye Tian lifted the top cover of the box a little more slowly and cautiously.

Just like that, after several pauses, he opened the top cover of the oak box.

Until this time, the things Balbo stored in this box, after seven or eighty years, finally saw the light of day and appeared in front of everyone.

As far as the eye can see, the first thing everyone sees is something wrapped in a dark gray moisture-proof tarpaulin, lying quietly on the upper floor of the wooden box.

Just from the exposed outline, everyone can see that this should be a head sculpture. The outline of the head can be seen at a glance, and there is a square base under the head!

This head sculpture is not big, basically the same size as the head of a normal person. If the square base is not counted, it is only about 30 centimeters high. As for who the carved figure is, it is unknown!

Seeing this scene, everyone's eyes lit up, and the curiosity in their eyes became more intense!

Ye Tian didn't immediately reach out to take out the head sculpture, but observed the situation inside the box and the situation around the head sculpture.

After confirming that there was no danger, he reached into the box and carried out the small but heavy head sculpture.

"Gentlemen, this should be a bronze head sculpture, which is very heavy. As for who is the carved figure? Is it a sculpture from ancient Greece or Rome, or a sculpture from the Renaissance era? Which sculpture is it from? The hand of a master artist? This is unknown!"

With that said, Ye Tian placed the head sculpture on the floor of the utility room, making a muffled sound.

Hearing his words, everyone's eyes lit up again, and their eyes became even hotter!

At the same time, as the head sculpture was carried out, everyone saw that inside the wooden box, there were several thick layers of cotton cloth.

Under the yellowed and blackened cotton cloth, there seems to be a slightly larger sculpture. Due to the barrier of the cotton cloth, the outline of that sculpture is not very clear, and it is not clear what is carved for the time being!

Just when everyone was wondering, Ye Tian walked to the wooden box again, carefully took out those old cotton cloths from the box, and threw them aside!

Immediately afterwards, he took out the sculpture lying at the bottom of the wooden box and placed it on the floor of the utility room.

It wasn't until this moment that everyone could see clearly that it was a humanoid sculpture. The carved figure stood on a circular base with arms outstretched, as if staring ahead.

Although everyone didn't really see this humanoid statue, they didn't know what figure was carved, or the legendary god.

However, when everyone saw this humanoid statue, they all felt very familiar, and there was a feeling of deja vu!

"Steven, who is carved in this humanoid sculpture? Why does it look so familiar!"

The Bishop of Kent asked curiously, and the rest of the audience nodded in sympathy and echoed a few words!

Ye Tian didn't answer this question, he just smiled softly, his eyes were fixed on the two sculptures wrapped under the tarpaulin in front of him, his eyes were full of ecstasy!

He inspected the two sculptures first, then squatted down, and began to disassemble the rope and tarpaulin wrapped around the head sculpture!

In just a moment, he lifted off those dark gray tarpaulins, and the head sculpture wrapped inside appeared in front of everyone's eyes!

The moment they saw this head sculpture, everyone in the utility room froze in place, as if they had been hit by a hold spell!
