Chapter 2778 the Magnificent Underground Palace

As Ye Tian said, there are no traps in this underground palace, it is very safe.

After Ye Tian took the lead to enter the underground palace shrouded in darkness, he pretended to carefully inspect the ground and walls around the entrance, and then let Derek and the others come in with lighting equipment.

After a while, one after another of the bright lights came on, bringing light to the underground palace that had been sleeping deep underground for more than five hundred years and directly dispelling the darkness.

Immediately, what appeared in front of everyone and on the live broadcast screen was a Renaissance-style rotunda, or rather a magnificent underground palace.

The underground palace covers an area of ​​about 200 square meters. It is a vault structure with a height of about 6 meters and a diameter of about 15 meters at the bottom, comparable to a small banquet hall.

In this underground palace, there are many tall and elegant Corinthian columns. These Corinthian columns are made of granite and are very strong, supporting this ancient underground building.

Along this hall, there is a circle of colonnades about three meters high, and there is a Corinthian column every few meters.

These Corinthian columns, colonnades, and the walls around the hall are full of Renaissance-style decorations and patterns, as well as various murals from Bible stories and myths and legends!

In addition, there are many human statues carved in these places, including characters from ancient Roman myths and legends, as well as characters from Bible stories, and most of them are angels!

In addition to these, at intervals in the colonnade, there is a large or small marble statue, with its back against the wall and facing the rotunda.

And in the center of this circular hall, there is a platform about 1.5 meters high, on which are piled up all kinds of wooden boxes, large or small, dozens of them, piled up like a hill!

From a distance, these wooden boxes are covered with dust and covered with a layer of moss, covering the words and patterns on the wooden boxes, making it difficult for people to see clearly!

In the very center of the platform, above the origin of the rotunda, there seems to be a higher platform, or a pedestal!

On this pedestal stands a marble statue about two meters high.

It was a general riding a horse and wearing armor. He was sitting on the horse, holding the rein with his left hand, holding a sword in his right hand, and looking forward, as if he was commanding the army under his command to fight!

all this,

It's just that within the coverage of the light, everyone can see what they can see visually when they stand at the entrance of the underground palace.

What else is hidden in those places that are still shrouded in darkness? How many priceless antique works of art and gold and silver treasures are hidden? I don't know yet, maybe even more amazing!

This was enough. Everyone present at the scene was instantly stunned. Everyone was stunned, their eyeballs were about to burst, and their eyes were full of madness!

In the basement above, in the hotel, on the street outside, and in front of countless live broadcast terminals, everyone behaved the same, and they were completely shocked by this live broadcast!

Everything fell silent in an instant, except for bursts of abnormally rapid breathing, there was no more sound.

Even Ye Tian, ​​who knew the situation in this underground palace well, was very excited at this moment, his eyes were full of ecstasy!

After a while, a murmur sounded from the scene, shattering the tranquility.

"Oh my god! I'm not dreaming, this is just amazing!"

It was David who spoke, and this guy was almost crazy with excitement.

With his exclamation, everyone on the scene and the live broadcast was awakened.

The next moment, the whole place was boiling instantly, and bursts of almost crazy exclamations resounded, resounding throughout the scene deep underground, and resounding through all the live broadcast terminals.

"Wow! This is a palace deep underground, no worse than the banquet hall in Sforza Castle. It's really amazing!"

"My God! What a huge treasure this is! Just this magnificent underground palace itself and the exquisite sculptures that are visible to the naked eye are already priceless! Not to mention the treasures in those boxes, It must be even more amazing!"

While exclaiming, these people standing at the entrance of the underground palace are about to swarm into the underground palace to appreciate and appraise everything they see.

Especially the curator of the Sforzesco Castle Museum, tears of excitement had already filled his eyes, and the performance of the other Italian experts and scholars was not much better!

For their performance, Ye Tian had expected it.

"Ladies and gentlemen, don't be impatient, don't get too excited, this magnificent underground palace and all the things hidden here have been here for more than five hundred years, and they won't grow wings to fly!

Now that everyone has come here, you have plenty of time to appreciate it slowly. Don't rush in. There are still some places here that I haven't had time to explore. I don't know whether it is safe or not! "

Hearing Ye Tian's words, everyone at the scene suddenly became sober and gradually regained their senses.

Afterwards, under the leadership and arrangement of a few brave and fearless exploration company employees, representatives of various parties and many experts and scholars entered the underground palace one after another, standing in the safe area marked by Ye Tian!

Without exception, they all stared dumbfounded at everything in front of them, only feeling dazzled, their eyes were almost useless!

Fortunately, their minds are clear, and they did not act without authorization or reach out to touch things around them. They behaved professionally and cooperatively!

"Steven, there is one thing that I don't quite understand. How was such a magnificent underground palace built? And how did it hide it? Why has it never appeared in the history of Milan, and there is no record in any documents? "

asked a historian from the University of Milan curiously, apparently at a loss.

Ye Tian looked at this person, then glanced at the other people present, and then said with a smile:

"Don't forget, Ludovic, the Grand Duke of Milan who funded the construction here, is the supreme ruler of Milan, and has always been known for his generosity, funding many famous artists including Da Vinci.

For Ludovic, the construction of such an underground palace is not a problem, regardless of manpower or financial resources. What he has to worry about is how to keep it secret, as long as he uses his cronies during the construction.

Since this is an underground palace, it is used to hide treasure or take refuge, such an important underground building, how could Ludovic allow it to appear in public view, and there will be no written records."

Hearing this, everyone at the scene nodded, and there was no disagreement.

In fact, this is the most reasonable explanation.

If he were Ludovic himself, he would not have made such an important underground palace public, not to mention that his family's treasures and a large number of top-level antique works of art are hidden here!

Immediately afterwards, the Bishop of Kent asked in succession:

"Steven, how did the sculptures placed in this underground palace, as well as those larger wooden boxes, get here? The spiral staircase we came down is obviously not good, and many things cannot pass there.

After you have finished exploring here and started the clean-up operation, how will you transport the treasures hidden in this underground palace and those antique works of art to the ground? Especially those sculpture works, the difficulty seems to be not small! "

Not only the Bishop of Kent, but also other people are very concerned about this issue. Everyone looked at Ye Tian, ​​looking forward to his answer.

Ye Tian smiled softly, and then gave his answer.

"Let's talk about the first question first, how did the treasures and antique artworks hidden in this underground palace come in? The answer is actually very simple, this underground palace has another entrance!

The entrance is directly opposite us, on the other side of the underground palace, and the entrance is even bigger. Judging from the location of the entrance, it should lead directly to the Sforza Castle not far away!

According to my guess, at the end of the fifteenth century, before the French King Louis XII conquered Milan, Ludovic saw that Milan could no longer be held, so he began to hide family treasures and important collections.

He and Leonardo da Vinci led their confidants to transport the treasures and important collections accumulated by the Sforza family over the years through the secret passage, and hid them in this deep underground palace!

Next, they completely sealed off the secret passage leading to Sforza Castle, and made some cover-ups. With Da Vinci's method, if he wanted to cover up people's eyes and ears, no one would be able to find out!

They only left one ventilation hole in the direction of the Sforza Castle, and blocked the rest of the place with stones of different sizes and mud. I guess there are many deadly traps over there.

After that secret passage is sealed off, only the secret passage we just walked through can be entered and exited. According to my estimation, only Ludovic and Da Vinci know how to pass this secret passage.

The sculptures hidden here may have been brought in from the ground, or they may have been sculpted on site here, and for Ludovic, this is a breeze."

"Ah! There is actually another secret path here!"

There was a burst of exclamation at the scene, and everyone was startled by Ye Tian's words.

The eyes of the curator of the Sforza Castle Museum, Giovanni and others who were also present at the scene were all brightened. At this moment, they seemed to see a little hope!
