In addition to the Arabic numeral 1, this granite pillar is also engraved with some exquisite patterns and decorations. The patterns are all from biblical stories, and the text is in Latin, which Ye Tian and the others do not recognize.
In fact, they don’t really care about this No. 1 stone pillar, and now is not the time to do research!
What they are most concerned about now is not the granite pillar, but the stone door next to it, and the Da Vinci cryptex that opens the stone door.
After introducing Stone Pillar No. 1, Ye Tian took the towel and began to wipe the dust and moss on the stone door in front of him, doing so very gently and carefully.
Peter and Derek walked down the spiral staircase and were busy arranging lighting fixtures in this small space to facilitate the smooth launch of subsequent exploration operations.
While speaking, Ye Tian had wiped off the dust and moss on the stone door, and the patterns and words engraved on the arched stone door immediately appeared!
In the center of this stone door is an Italian man wearing a gorgeous robe and a crown.
He stood on a high platform, condescending, holding a knight's sword in his right hand and a scepter in his left hand, his eyes staring forward, his face solemn and somewhat majestic,
The scepter in his hand was almost as tall as himself, with one end standing on the ground, and the head of the scepter was a huge and ferocious two-headed snake!
Not far behind him, there is a magnificent church that looks like Milan Cathedral, but it is not the same!
Obviously, this is a portrait of the Grand Duke of Milan. Just from the two-headed snake scepter, it can be seen that the Grand Duke of Milan comes from the Sforza family!
Under this stone door, there are carved several people holding swords and falling on the ground with frightened faces, and a guy with a missing head, who looks like an enemy of the Archduke of Milan above!

In addition, at the bottom of the stone gate, there is also a line of ancient Latin in cursive script and a line of Arabic numerals, written from 1401 to 1466.
Looking at these contents on the stone door, Ye Tian couldn't help but feel a flash of ecstasy in his eyes, even though he had already seen it all through perspective!
After arranging the lighting fixtures, Peter and Derek stood behind Ye Tian, staring at the stone door in stunned silence.
Then, Derek asked in surprise:
"Steven, who is the figure carved on this stone door? It looks like a king!"
Ye Tian turned to look at these two guys, and then explained:
“This Italian man is Francesco Sforza, who founded the Sforza dynasty of the Principality of Milan. He is the first Grand Duke of Milan in the Sforza family. Although he is not a king, he is almost like a king!
In 1450, Francesco Sforza became the Duke of Milan, and the Principality of Milan came under the rule of the Sforza family. He died in 1466, when Leonardo da Vinci was still studying art. Woolen cloth!
In other words, the Archduke of Milan had no connection with Leonardo da Vinci. When Leonardo da Vinci went to Milan for the first time in 1482, the second Archduke of Milan was in power, and it was he who greatly funded Leonardo da Vinci. .
Since Leonardo da Vinci carved the portrait of the first Grand Duke of Milan on this stone door, I couldn't help but wonder, is the legendary Sforza family treasure hidden behind this stone door? ”
Before he finished speaking, the two guys, Peter and Derek, already exclaimed.
"Wow! The treasure of the Sforza family? Did I hear that right?"
"That's great, it looks like we're going to make a fortune again!"
Looking at these two excited guys, Ye Tian also laughed loudly and waved his fist slightly to celebrate!
Fortunately, Giovanni's Italian guys are not here. If those guys saw this scene and heard Ye Tian's words, they would probably be jealous and mad to death!
After celebrating, Ye Tian began to carefully examine the stone gate, as well as the patterns and words carved on the stone gate.
Of course, this is just a performance. It is performed for Peter, Derek and everyone else to see. It is an essential procedure.
Needless to say, the result of the exploration was that he did not find any deadly traps or other secrets on the surface of this stone door.
Then he checked the No. 1 stone pillar next to him, as well as the walls, the ground, and the ceiling above, but still found nothing!
Finally, he came to the Da Vinci cryptex and began to examine this mysterious thing that was created by Da Vinci and only existed in legends in the past.
Before that, he took the heavy police shield and placed it next to the wall in case of emergency, and he did not forget to remind his two men.
"Peter, Derek, I'm going to check this Da Vinci cryptex. You must be vigilant. If anything unexpected happens, rush up the spiral staircase immediately.
You don’t have to think about rescuing me. I have the ability to protect myself. All you have to do is ensure your own safety and rush to the ground as soon as possible. I don’t want to spend an extra pension."
"Hahaha, got it, Steven, we will be more vigilant"
Peter and Derek responded with a smile, sounding quite relaxed.
In fact, the two guys had become nervous. Their eyes were fixed on Ye Tian and the Da Vinci cryptex on the wall, and their smiles were somewhat forced.
After inoculating these two guys, Ye Tian picked up a towel and gently wiped away the dust and moss around the Da Vinci cryptex, and carefully inspected this area on the wall.
Then, he carefully began to wipe away the dust and moss that had fallen on the cryptex. His movements were extremely gentle, as if he were caressing a baby's skin, showing utmost care!
In fact, he knows better than anyone else what kind of disaster will happen if he accidentally triggers the trap connected to this cryptex!
In that case, it is really possible for me to leave my life here. As for Peter and Derek, there is not even the slightest chance of survival!
It took him nearly ten minutes to wipe off the dust and moss accumulated on the cryptex, finally revealing the true appearance of the Da Vinci cryptex.
This is a cryptex made of bronze, about 60 centimeters high and 30 centimeters wide. It is embedded in the granite wall. Due to anti-rust treatment, there is no trace of rust on this cipher!
On the outside of this cryptex, there are some exquisite Renaissance-style decorations and the emblem of the Sforza family engraved on it, which is very eye-catching, but there is nothing related to Leonardo da Vinci.
Of course, this cryptex engraved with the Sforza family emblem was made by Leonardo da Vinci!
As Ye Tian said before, this Da Vinci cryptex has a total of five turntables, arranged from top to bottom. Most of the turntables are hidden inside the cryptex, or hidden in the wall.
Only less than a quarter is exposed to the outside!
On this gear-shaped turntable, there are 26 capital Latin letters engraved, one on each gear, arranged very neatly.
In addition, there are some traces of friction on the gears of these five turntables, more or less.
It can be seen that after the Da Vinci cryptex was manufactured, it was used, opened and closed many times.
After it was placed here, it has been opened and closed many times. As for the reason, it should be that someone was transporting things into the space behind the stone door, which kept opening the stone door.
Looking at this cryptex, which was made more than five hundred years ago but is so exquisite that it can even be called a work of art, Ye Tian couldn't help but be a little amazed and secretly admired it!
Only a super genius like Leonardo da Vinci could design such a perfect and exquisite cryptex more than five hundred years ago, and it is still functioning today!
After carefully observing the Da Vinci cryptex, Ye Tian said:
"Peter, Derek, come and take a look at this Da Vinci cryptex. This is probably the only Da Vinci cryptex that exists in the world. It is a priceless top antique relic and must not be missed. ! ”
Hearing this, Peter and Derek immediately stepped forward and looked at the Da Vinci cryptex curiously. Both of them were excited and a little nervous.
Unsurprisingly, when they saw the appearance of the cryptex and roughly understood how complicated this thing was, they immediately exclaimed!
"Oh my god! How did Leonardo da Vinci design such an exquisite and advanced gadget during the Renaissance and in an era when technology was so backward? It's incredible!"
"Wow! If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would never have believed that this was an antique artifact from more than five hundred years ago. This thing is so shocking!"
Looking at the two guys who were exclaiming, Ye Tian couldn't help but chuckle.
At the same time, he took out a magnifying glass in a serious manner, preparing to check the traces on the Da Vinci cryptex, trying to find the correct password!
