The one that was held up by Ye Tian was an oak board about three to five centimeters thick, which was rectangular and quite weighty.

The downward side of the oak board is painted white, which is no different from the ceiling in other areas. It is just that it has been a little deformed and faded due to long-term concealment in the walls.

On top of this oak board is a rectangular dark grid, which seems to be hidden inside, but because the light is too dark, it is still difficult to see clearly.

Fortunately, the ceiling of this room and the sealing of this dark lattice are very good, and the space inside the dark lattice has not become a paradise for things like rats and cockroaches.

The things hidden in this dark compartment are also well preserved.

After lifting the oak board, Ye Tian first quickly glanced at the dark grid, then pulled the oak board out of the ceiling and handed it over to Tony who was guarding the bottom.

Immediately afterwards, he took out the strong light flashlight contained in his pocket, turned it on, and shone it towards the dark wall on the ceiling.

As the strong light of the flashlight entered, this small space that had been shrouded in darkness for more than 200 years finally ushered in light.

"Wow! There's really something here, maybe it's another surprise discovery."

As he said that, Ye Tian reached into the dark wall on the ceiling and began to take things from the inside.

When he withdrew his arm, there seemed to be an additional wooden box in his hand.

The box is not big, it is only 40 cm long, about 30 cm wide, and about ten cm high. It is covered with a thick layer of dust, so it is impossible to see the specific situation clearly.

After taking out the box, Ye Tian did not get off the ladder.

He first looked at the box, then handed the box to Tony below, then reached into the secret compartment on the ceiling, and took out an item wrapped in a moisture-proof oil cloth from it.

This is a cylindrical object, about 80 cm long and about fifteen cm in diameter, and it is also covered with dust.

As soon as I saw this item, everyone immediately realized that this was another oil painting, and it was probably a priceless top work of art. I just don’t know which master of art is the masterpiece.

Ye Tian handed the oil painting to Tony again, then raised the strong light flashlight in his hand and carefully checked the secret screen on the ceiling.

"Gentlemen, it seems that there are only these two items in this dark lattice on the ceiling."

As he said that, Ye Tian got off the ladder, stood on the floor, and patted the dust on his body.

Then, he took the oil painting he had just discovered and the box from Tony, and checked it again with interest.

At the same time, the rest of the people on the scene also surrounded the wooden box and the oil painting wrapped in moisture-proof oil cloth curiously.

"Steven, what is in this box? Open it and let everyone see!"

"And this oil painting, I wonder if this is the work of that top art master? Maybe it's another huge surprise!"

Everyone was talking about it at the scene, and everyone was full of expectations.

Ye Tian looked at these guys, then smiled and said:

"Gentlemen, due to limited time, our exploration of this historic building has not been completed. It is also for the need for protection. I will not open this oil painting here.

Let’s only look at what is in this wooden box. As for these oil paintings, when today’s exploration is over, and when you return to the hotel, you will have time to appreciate it!”

Hearing this, everyone at the scene could only nod and agree.

There is no way, who made this Renaissance-style historical building not his own, and who made these priceless top artworks not his own!

Next, Ye Tian first instructed Tony and the others to explore the room again so as not to miss anything. That would be too unfair!

Then, he took David, Bishop Kent and others out of the room and came 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 he had just discovered and the wooden box on the table.

Immediately afterwards, he took out a piece of cotton cloth from his backpack next to him and gently wiped away the dust from the wooden box.

With his movements, the wooden box, which had been hidden in the dark compartment on the ceiling for more than 200 years, finally revealed its true face and presented it to everyone.

This is a box made of oak wood, carved with many exquisite and complex patterns, with very obvious Rococo art characteristics.

And in the center of this oak box, a badge is carved.

Although the badge has faded, the pattern is still clearly visible. It consists of a two-headed snake that is eating people and an eagle emblem representing the Holy Roman Empire.

The moment he saw this badge, everyone at the scene was stunned.

The next moment, the scene was boiling, and bursts of exclamations followed.

"Oh my God! This is the two-headed snake badge representing the Principal of Milan. From this we can see that this oak box and what is placed inside are likely to come from the royal family of the Principal of Milan!"

"The two-headed snake badge of the Principal of Milan! Is this the treasure of the royal family of the Principal of Milan? Or the private collection of an important member of the royal family of the Principal of Milan? It's simply incredible!"

Just as everyone was screaming, Ye Tian also looked ecstatic on his face at the right time, and he looked ecstatic!

After a brief performance, he said firmly:

"Yes, this is the two-headed snake badge representing the Principality of Milan. This two-headed snake that is eating people represents the Principality of Milan, and the eagle emblem represents the legal status of the Principality of Milan from the canonization of the Holy Roman Emperor.

The emergence of this two-headed snake badge made today's series of discoveries reasonable. As we all know, it was Napoleon who destroyed the Principality of Milan and killed many royal members of the Principality of Milan.

At the end of the 18th century, the person who lived in this historical building was probably an important member of the royal family of the Duchy of Milan, and he also collected a large number of top artworks, and he was even the administrator of the royal collection.

After the news that Napoleon was crazily looting Venice and other places reached Milan, in order to protect all the top works of art in the royal family and avoid being robbed by Napoleon, the royal family member hid them.

This royal member probably thought so. When Napoleon arrived in Milan and tried to loot the top artworks in the city, he found that some top artworks belonging to the Milan royal family had long disappeared.

Faced with this situation, Napoleon eventually had to leave with nothing and was disappointed. These top artworks that were hidden in advance would continue to stay in Milan, thus avoiding the fate of being robbed by the French.

The reality is cruel. The Frenchman who could not find these top art works was so angry that he might have killed the Milan royal family member directly. This batch of top art works completely disappeared until today!

The death of this Milan royal family member is likely to be closely related to this group of mysteriously disappeared top artworks. Even the overthrow of the Principality of Milan by Napoleon is also related to this group of top artworks.”

With Ye Tian’s words, there was another scream of exclamation at the scene, and everyone was shocked by these words.

At the same time, everyone's eyes as they looked at the oak box and the dozens of top artworks in the room became even hotter and they were almost burning!

After saying his own judgment and speculation, Ye Tian adjusted his emotions a little, then stretched out his hands and gently opened the long-clogged oak box.

At this time, he felt like he opened the history of the Principality of Milan with his own hands, which was very wonderful!

As the oak box was opened, the things contained in the box finally appeared in front of everyone.
