Treasure Hunt all over the World

In the blink of an eye, Ye Tian and the others had reached the corner in front of the Swan Restaurant.

Passing this street corner is the four-story building where Victor Hugo's former residence is located, and adjacent to it is the famous Swan Restaurant!

At this moment, Louis suddenly pointed to a group of tourists gathered at the corner of the street and said:

"Steven, Betty, there is the reclining statue of Serkras cast in 1356, which has a history of more than 600 years. Serkras is the ancient hero of Brussels.

Since ancient times, there has been a legend in Brussels that as long as people who come here touch this bronze statue, it will bring happiness to those who touch it. Don’t you plan to try it? "

Ye Tian looked at the tourists lined up at the entrance of the alley waiting to touch the bronze statue, then smiled and said:

"I know this legend, and I also know this famous reclining bronze statue with a history of 600 years. When touching it, you must touch the right wrist of the bronze statue with your left hand, so that it will work.

Now that we have come to Grand Place, we certainly don't want to miss such an opportunity. Who doesn't want to live a very happy life? Betty and I are no exception!

But now is not a suitable time, there are too many tourists, we will come to touch this famous bronze statue later, there is plenty of time, we live here, and it is very convenient! "

After finishing speaking, he took Betty and continued to move forward, heading straight to Hugo's former residence ahead.

After walking through the alley, Betty kept looking back, with an eager expression and eyes full of anticipation.

Seeing her appearance, Ye Tian immediately chuckled and said in a low voice:

"Darling, don't feel sorry, wait until there are fewer tourists in the square, and we have plenty of time, come and touch this bronze statue again!

You can pet Therkras from head to toe, the angel next to him, and his dog, for as long as you want! "

"Okay, I don't want to miss this opportunity"

Betty nodded vigorously, and then reluctantly looked away.

Soon, ten minutes passed.

Ye Tian and the others are already in Hugo's former residence, and while admiring the furnishings and decorations in this celebrity's former residence, they are listening to the professional explanation of the guide.

"In 1851,

After Napoleon Bonaparte overthrew the republic and restored the monarchy, Victor Hugo, a famous left-wing figure, had to be forced into exile abroad.

After nineteen years of exile, Hugo spent most of his time living in this apartment in Brussels, using this as a base and using the pen in his hand as a weapon to continue his struggle.

Here, Victor Hugo wrote countless fighting essays, slamming Napoleon Bonaparte's dictatorship, and always fighting on the front line of the French Revolution.

Also in this apartment, Hugo laid a solid foundation for the completion of his immortal masterpiece "Les Miserables", which contributed to the completion of that literary classic.

Victor Hugo loved this apartment and Grand Place so much more than any other place he had ever lived in.

The apartment and the furnishings in the apartment that you see now are exactly the same as when Hugo lived here, almost unchanged!

In many literary works of Hugo’s time, and in the literary works of Hugo’s friends, there are very detailed descriptions of the situation of this apartment,…”

While the guide was introducing this celebrity's former residence, Ye Tian kept looking at this old apartment, admiring the furnishings and layout, and looking through it from time to time to see if he could discover any secrets.

In his eyes, this set of former residences of celebrities is very different from what others see, even very different.

The Belgian beauty narrator is right. The furnishings and decorations in this apartment are the same as when Hugo lived here, or even exactly the same.

Those antique furniture that radiate dazzling red light, those artworks with several or even ten layers of fascinating halos are the best proof.

Ye Tian could tell just from the antique artworks in the apartment.

The Belgians really attach great importance to this set of former residences of celebrities, and did not use some antique handicrafts to fool tourists. Almost every item here is a genuine antique work of art.

In particular, the set of tables and chairs and a baroque lamp in Hugo's study room, as well as the two pieces of Chinese porcelain in the living room, are all very good antique works of art, all of which are of great value!

The Belgians are also very aware of the value of these treasures, and the protection measures are quite strict, so it is basically impossible for tourists to come into contact with them.

Of course, these antique works of art on the bright side are not Ye Tian's goal, and he has no chance to get his hands on them.

The reason why he sees every corner of this apartment is that he hopes to find some hidden and unknown secrets here.

You know, this is an ancient building built hundreds of years ago, and it is located in such a place as the Grand Place in Brussels, how could there be no secret room or sandwich wall?

In fact, he did find a secret room, rather small and cramped enough for only one or two people to hide, behind a wall in the living room.

It's a pity that it was just a hiding place. It was empty and contained nothing, not to mention valuable antique works of art.

There might have been something hidden in that closet before, but it had been emptied by the Belgian who ran the apartment, and nothing was left.

From the relatively clean interior of the secret room, it can be seen that the Belgians had discovered it long ago, leaving no suspense.

After walking into Hugo's study room, Ye Tian found another hidden compartment on the wall behind the bookshelf. It was also empty and contained nothing, which was very disappointing!

Except for these two places, there are no other secret rooms or hidden compartments in Hugo's former residence, which made Ye Tianfa's wishful thinking of discovering the draft of "Les Miserables" completely come to naught.

It took about half an hour for Ye Tian and the others to finish visiting Hugo's former residence.

When they walked out of the Renaissance building, it was already noon, and it was lunch time.

Belgians have a relatively normal lunch time, which usually starts at twelve o'clock and basically ends around two o'clock in the afternoon.

If you see someone enjoying lunch in a restaurant in Brussels after 2:30pm, it's either French or Spanish.

Only people from these two countries can eat a meal as long as a century!

Coming out of Hugo's former residence, Ye Tian didn't immediately walk to the nearby Swan restaurant.

With a bright smile on his face, he turned his head and looked at the Belgian police detectives who pretended to be tourists and wandered around the door of Hugo's former residence, and said to those guys:

"Gentlemen, thank you for your hard work. You have been with us for so long. You are really dedicated. Thank you very much for your protection, which saved us a lot of trouble.

Since entering the Grand Place in Brussels, those thieves and liars have never approached us again, presumably it is all thanks to you.

Now it's lunchtime, and if you don't mind, I'd like to treat you all to lunch and say thank you, at the famous Swan Restaurant.

I have been admiring this restaurant for a long time, and I have booked a seat early, and you should have no problem, but I don't know if you are willing to appreciate it? "

After finishing speaking, Ye Tian looked at those Belgian police detectives, with sunny smiles on their faces, and they were very friendly!

Betty, who was standing beside him, and Anderson and Louis, who were behind him, tried their best not to laugh out loud.

Several Belgian police detectives were completely dumbfounded, their faces turned red and white, not to mention how embarrassing their expressions were!

From the very beginning, the whereabouts of these people were discovered by that bastard Steven, who just didn't point it out!

In vain these people also go to great lengths to hide their whereabouts, pretend to be passers-by and tourists, and the result is all self-indulgent and completely superfluous parody! What a shame!

Thinking of this, several Belgians suddenly felt a burning pain in their cheeks, and their faces almost fell to their feet, and they couldn't even pick them up!

After a long time, the leading Belgian police detective suppressed his emotions and said in a deep voice with a blushing face:

"Thank you for your invitation, Steven, but we are on a mission and it is inconvenient to accept your invitation to have lunch with you, I am very sorry.

Go and have lunch yourself, the Swan is a very nice restaurant with a reputation for good food, have a great lunch! "

"Okay then, since that's the case, we'll have to enjoy lunch alone. I hope we can see some of you when we come out of the Swan Restaurant!"

After speaking, Ye Tian nodded to several Belgian police detectives, and then led Betty to the Swan restaurant.

Anderson and Louis followed immediately, and the group quickly walked into the Swan Restaurant and disappeared from the Grand Place in Brussels.

Seeing Ye Tian's leaving back, several Belgian police detectives all rolled their eyes, but there was nothing they could do!
