What Ye Tian held up was an oak board about three to five centimeters thick, rectangular in shape and quite heavy.
The downward side of this oak board is painted white, just like the ceiling in other areas, but it has been somewhat deformed and faded due to being hidden in the wall for a long time.
On the top of this oak board is a rectangular dark grid, which seems to hide something, but because the light is too dim, it is not clear yet.
Fortunately, the ceiling of this room and the secret compartment are well sealed, and the space inside the secret compartment has not become a paradise for mice and cockroaches.
The things hidden in this dark room are also well preserved.
After holding up the oak board, Ye Tian quickly glanced at the situation in the dark room, then pulled the oak board diagonally from the ceiling and handed it to Tony who was guarding below.
Immediately afterwards, he took out the strong flashlight in his pocket, turned it on, and shined it on the hidden compartment on the ceiling.
As the strong light of the flashlight entered, this small space that had been shrouded in darkness for more than two hundred years finally welcomed the light.
"Wow! There is really something here, maybe another surprising discovery"
As he spoke, Ye Tian reached into the hidden compartment on the ceiling and began to take things out from inside.
When he retracted his arm, there seemed to be a wooden box in his hand.
This box is not big, no more than 40 centimeters long, about 30 centimeters wide, and about 10 centimeters high. It is covered with a thick layer of dust, making it difficult to see the details.
After taking out the box, Ye Tian did not get off the ladder.
He first looked at the box, then handed it to Tony below, then reached into the hidden compartment on the ceiling and took out an item wrapped in moisture-proof tarpaulin.
This is a cylindrical object, about 80 centimeters long and 15 centimeters in diameter. It is also covered with dust.
As soon as they saw this item, everyone immediately understood that this was another oil painting, and it was probably a priceless top-notch work of art. They just didn't know which art master's masterpiece it was.
Ye Tian handed the oil painting to Tony again, then raised the strong flashlight in his hand and carefully inspected the hidden compartments on the ceiling.
"Gentlemen, it seems that there are only these two items in this dark room on the ceiling"
With that said, Ye Tian got down from the ladder, stood on the floor, and dusted himself off.
Then, he took the oil painting and the box he had just discovered from Tony's hands, and looked at them again with interest.
At the same time, other people at the scene gathered around and looked curiously at the wooden box and the oil painting wrapped in moisture-proof tarpaulin.
"Steven, what's in this box? Open it and let everyone see!"
"There is also this oil painting. I wonder if it is the work of another top art master? Maybe it is another huge surprise!"
There was a lot of discussion at the scene and everyone was full of expectations.
Ye Tian looked at these guys, then said with a smile:
"Gentlemen, due to limited time, our exploration of this historical building has not been completed, and also due to the need for protection, I will not open this oil painting here.
Let’s just take a look at what’s in this wooden box. As for these oil paintings, after today’s exploration is over and we return to the hotel, everyone will have plenty of time to appreciate them! ”
Hearing this, everyone at the scene could only nod in agreement.
I have no choice but to let this Renaissance-style historical building not belong to me, and who let these priceless top-notch works of art not belong to me!
Next, Ye Tian first gave Tony and the others a few words, asking them to explore the room again to avoid missing anything, which would be such an injustice!
Then, he took David, Bishop Kent and others out of the room and went to the next room again.
After entering the room, Ye Tian went straight to the table in the center of the room and placed the oil painting and the wooden box he had just discovered on the table.
Immediately afterwards, he took out a piece of cotton cloth from the backpack next to him and gently wiped the dust on the wooden box.
Following his movements, the wooden box, which had been hidden in the secret compartment of the ceiling for more than two hundred years, finally revealed its true identity and appeared in front of everyone.
This is a box made of oak, carved with many exquisite and complex patterns, with very obvious Rococo artistic features.
In the center of this oak box, there is a emblem carved on it.
Although this emblem has faded, the pattern is still clearly visible. It consists of a two-headed snake eating people and the eagle emblem representing the Holy Roman Empire.
The moment they saw this badge, everyone at the scene was stunned.
The next moment, the scene was boiling with excitement, and bursts of exclamations followed.
"Oh my god! This is the two-headed snake emblem representing the Principality of Milan. From this we can see that this oak box and the things inside are likely to come from the royal family of the Principality of Milan!"
"The two-headed snake emblem of the Principality of Milan! Is this a treasure of the Duke of Milan's royal family? Or is it the private collection of an important member of the Duke of Milan's royal family? It's incredible!"
Just when everyone was exclaiming, Ye Tian's face showed a look of ecstasy at the right time, and he looked ecstatic!
After a brief performance, he said decisively:
【Get Cash Red Envelope】You can get cash by reading a book! Follow WeChat and official account [Book Friends Base Camp], cash/point coins are waiting for you!
"Yes, this is the two-headed snake emblem that represents the Principality of Milan. This two-headed snake that is eating people represents the Principality of Milan. The eagle emblem represents that the legal status of the Principality of Milan comes from the canonization of the Holy Roman Emperor.
The appearance of this double-headed snake badge makes today's series of discoveries more reasonable. As we all know, it was Napoleon who single-handedly destroyed the Principality of Milan and also killed many members of the royal family of the Principality of Milan.
At the end of the 18th century, the person who lived in this historic building was probably an important member of the royal family of the Duke of Milan and had a large collection of top-notch art. He was even the manager of the royal collection.
After the news of Napoleon's crazy looting of Venice and other places reached Milan, in order to protect these top-notch works of art owned by the royal family from being looted by Napoleon, the royal family member hid them.
This royal family member probably thought so. When Napoleon rushed to Milan and tried to loot the city's top artworks, he found that some of the top artworks belonging to the Milan royal family had long since disappeared.
Faced with this situation, Napoleon could only leave with nothing but disappointment. These top-notch works of art that had been hidden in advance would remain in Milan, thus avoiding the fate of being looted by the French.
The reality is cruel. The French, who could not find these top-notch works of art, became so angry that they probably killed the member of the Milan royal family. These top-notch works of art disappeared completely without a trace until today!
The death of this member of the Milanese royal family is very likely to be closely related to the mysterious disappearance of these top-notch works of art. Even the overthrow of the Principality of Milan by Napoleon also had a certain relationship with these top-level works of art."
Following Ye Tian's words, exclamations of exclamation sounded again on the scene, and everyone was shocked by these words.
At the same time, everyone's eyes became hotter when they looked at this oak box and the dozen or so top-notch works of art in the room, and even almost started to burn!
After finishing his judgment and speculation, Ye Tian adjusted his emotions slightly, then stretched out his hands and gently opened the dusty oak box.
At this time, he felt as if he had opened the history of the Principality of Milan with his own hands, which was very wonderful!
As the oak box was opened, the contents contained in the box were finally revealed to everyone.
The top layer of the box is a yellowed book, which is also imprinted with a two-headed snake emblem representing the Principality of Milan, and then a line of cursive Latin!
