As Ye Tian said, there are no traps in this underground palace and it is very safe.
After Ye Tian took the lead in entering the underground palace shrouded in darkness, he pretended to carefully explore the ground and walls around the entrance before letting Derek and the others come in with lighting equipment.
After a moment, the bright lights came on, once again bringing light to the underground palace that had been sleeping deep underground for more than five hundred years and directly dispelling the darkness.
What immediately appeared in front of everyone and on the live broadcast screen was a Renaissance-style rotunda, or rather, a magnificent underground palace.
This underground palace covers an area of about 300 square meters and is a vault structure. The highest point is about 6 meters and the bottom diameter is about 20 meters. It is comparable to a small banquet hall.
In this underground palace, there are many tall and elegant Corinthian columns erected. These Corinthian columns are made of granite and are very solid, supporting this ancient underground building.
Along the hall is a colonnade about three meters high, with Corinthian columns every few meters.
The Corinthian columns, colonnades, and walls around the hall are engraved with various Renaissance-style decorations and patterns, as well as various murals derived from biblical stories and myths and legends!
In addition, there are many human figures carved in these places, including characters from ancient Roman myths and legends, as well as characters from biblical stories, and the most numerous are angels!
In addition to these, there are large or small marble statues placed at regular intervals in the colonnade, with their backs against the wall and facing the rotunda.
In the center of this rotunda, there is a platform about one and a half meters high, which is filled with various large and small wooden boxes. There are dozens of them, and they are piled up like a hill. generally!
Looking from a distance, these wooden boxes are covered with dust and covered with a layer of moss, covering up the words and patterns on the wooden boxes, making it difficult to see clearly!
In the center of this platform, which is the origin of this rotunda, there seems to be a higher platform, or should be said to be a pedestal!
On this pedestal stands a bronze statue about two meters high.
It was a general riding a war horse and wearing armor. He was sitting upright on the war horse, holding the reins in his left hand, holding a sword in his right hand, looking ahead, and seemed to be directing his troops to fight!
All of this is just what everyone can see visually from the entrance of the underground palace within the coverage of the light.
What else is hidden in those places still shrouded in darkness? How many priceless antiques, artworks and gold and silver treasures are hidden? We don’t know yet, maybe it’s even more surprising!
This was enough. Everyone at the scene was instantly stunned. Everyone looked stunned, their eyes almost exploded, and their eyes were full of madness!
Everyone in the basement above, in the hotel, on the street outside, and in front of countless live broadcasts, behaved the same way, they were all completely shocked by this live broadcast!
Everywhere suddenly became quiet, except for bursts of unusually rapid breathing, there was no sound anymore.
Even Ye Tian, who was well aware of the situation in this underground palace, was excited at this time, with eyes full of ecstasy!
After a while, a murmur came from the scene, shattering the tranquility.
“Oh my god! I’m not dreaming, this is so amazing!”
The one who spoke was David, who was almost crazy with excitement.
With his exclamation, everyone at the scene and the live broadcast was awakened.
The next moment, the whole place was boiling, and bursts of almost crazy exclamations followed, resounding throughout the scene deep underground, and also throughout all live broadcasts.
“Wow! This is a palace deep underground. It is no worse than the banquet hall of Sforza Castle. It is really amazing!”
“Oh my God! What a huge treasure this is! This magnificent underground palace itself and the exquisite sculptures visible to the eye are already priceless! Not to mention the treasures contained in those boxes It’s a treasure, it’s definitely more amazing!”
While exclaiming, the people standing at the entrance of the underground palace were ready to swarm into the underground palace to appreciate and evaluate everything they saw.
In particular, the curator of the Sforza Castle Museum was already moved to tears, and the performance of the other Italian experts and scholars was not much better!
Ye Tian had already expected their performance.
“Ladies and gentlemen, please be patient and don’t be too excited. This magnificent underground palace and everything hidden here has been here for more than five hundred years and will no longer have wings to fly!
Now that everyone is here, you have plenty of time to enjoy it slowly. Don’t rush in all at once. There are still some places here that I haven’t had time to explore. I don’t know if they are safe yet! ”
After hearing Ye Tian’s words, everyone at the scene suddenly sobered up and gradually regained their senses.
Subsequently, under the leadership and arrangements of several Brave and Fearless Exploration Company employees, representatives from all parties and many experts and scholars entered the underground palace one after another and stood in the safe area designated by Ye Tian!
Without exception, they all stared at everything in front of them, feeling dazzled and their eyes were almost running out!
Fortunately, their minds were clear and they did not act without authorization or reach out to touch things around them. They behaved quite professionally and cooperatively!
“Stephen, there is something I don’t quite understand. How was such a magnificent underground palace built? How was it hidden from others? Why has it never appeared in the history of Milan or in any documentation? No record? ”
A historian from the University of Milan asked curiously, obviously confused.
Ye Tian looked at this person, then glanced at the other people present, and then said with a smile:
“Don’t forget that Ludovic, the Grand Duke of Milan, who funded the construction of this place, was the supreme ruler of Milan and was known for his generosity. He funded many famous artists including Leonardo da Vinci.
For Ludovic, building such an underground palace, regardless of human or financial resources, is not a problem. What he has to worry about is how to keep it secret, which can be achieved as long as he uses his cronies during construction.
Since this is an underground palace, it is used to hide treasures or take refuge. How could Ludovich allow such an important underground building to appear in public view, and there will be no written records?”
After hearing this, everyone at the scene nodded and had no different opinions.

In fact, this is also the most reasonable explanation.
If he were Ludovic, he would not expose such an important underground palace to the public, not to mention that his family’s treasures and a large number of top-notch antiques and artworks are hidden here!
Immediately afterwards, Bishop Kent asked:
“Steven, how did the sculptures and the larger wooden boxes placed in this underground palace get here? The spiral staircase we came down obviously doesn’t work, and many things can’t pass there. .
After you finish exploring this place and start cleaning up, how will you transport the treasures and antiques hidden in this underground palace to the surface? Especially the sculptures seem to be quite difficult! ”
Not only Bishop Kent, but also other people were 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 were the treasures and antiques hidden in this underground palace brought in? The answer is actually very simple. There is another entrance to this underground palace!
The entrance is directly opposite us, on the other side of the underground palace, and the entrance is larger. Judging from the location of the entrance, it should lead directly to the Sforza Castle not far away!
According to my speculation, before the French King Louis XII conquered Milan at the end of the fifteenth century, Ludovic saw that Milan could no longer be defended, so he began to hide the family treasures and important collections.
He and Leonardo da Vinci led their minions to transport the treasures and important collections accumulated by the Sforza family over the years through the secret passage and hid them in this palace deep underground!
Next, they completely sealed the secret passage leading to the Sforza Castle and covered it up. With Leonardo da Vinci’s methods, if he wanted to hide it from others, no one would be able to find it!
They only left one ventilation hole in the direction of Sforza Castle, and the rest of the place was blocked with stones and soil of various sizes. I guess there are many deadly traps there.
After the secret passage was sealed, only the secret passage we just walked through was left to enter and exit. According to my estimation, only Ludovic and Leonardo da Vinci knew the way to this secret passage.
The sculptures hidden here may have been transported from the ground, or they may have been carved on site here. For Ludovic, this is an easy task”
“Ah! There is actually another secret passage here!”
There was an exclamation of exclamation at the scene, and everyone was shocked by Ye Tian’s words.
The eyes of the director of the Sforza Castle Museum, Giovanni and others who were also present at the scene were all bright. At this moment, they seemed to see a little hope!
