Treasure Hunt all over the World

Seeing Jason and the others, Ye Tian also nodded slightly at these three guys, his movements were very small and very subtle, no one noticed at all!

Immediately afterwards, Jason's familiar voice came from the earphones.

"Steven, we have walked Vincenzo Monte Avenue from the beginning to the end, and have a general understanding of the situation of this street, and now I will introduce it to you.

This street was built in the middle of the 14th century. It was originally a street with a length of more than 200 meters and a relatively average width. There were no prominent people living here.

In the mid-fifteenth century, the Sforza family became the rulers of Milan and began to build the Sforza Castle, which was also included here and became a subsidiary street of the castle.

Then until 1499, the rule of the Sforza family in Milan was ended by the French King Louis XII. This ancient street has always belonged to the Sforza family.

During this period, many Renaissance-style buildings were built on this street, some of which may have been built by Leonardo da Vinci.

But this is just a conjecture, and there is no real evidence to support it. We briefly checked the documents related to this street, and found no trace of Da Vinci."

Hearing this, Ye Tian immediately smiled and said in a low voice:

"This kind of conjecture is not unreasonable. After Da Vinci left Florence and came to Milan, he quickly got acquainted with Ludvico Sforza, Duke of Milan, and became close friends.

Soon after, he became the royal painter of the Duke of Milan. In addition, he had another title, that is, the military engineer of the Duke of Milan, who presided over the construction of military projects.

During his tenure as a military engineer, his main responsibility was to strengthen the defense capabilities of Sforza Castle and build Sforza Castle into the new political center of the city of Milan.

He made a plan to expand a rectangular square in front of the castle and build an avenue extending to Milan Cathedral Square as the main axis of the city. This is the current Dante Street.

Vincenzo Monte Avenue is a subsidiary street of the Sforza Castle and is adjacent to the castle. Its location is very important. It is entirely possible that Leonardo da Vinci presided over the construction of some buildings here.

As for why no relevant written materials have been preserved, it may be for the sake of confidentiality, so no written materials have been left behind, and perhaps the relevant literature materials have been lost.

It doesn't matter, these are not important anymore, since you are here today, I believe you won't make a trip in vain, maybe you will find surprising discoveries, that would be great! "

As soon as his voice fell, Jason immediately continued excitedly:

"According to your instructions, we carefully checked the Renaissance-style ancient buildings on this street, and found the dragon-shaped snake emblem of the Sforza family on many buildings.

It can be determined from this that these Renaissance-style buildings with dragon-shaped snake emblems carved on the outer walls belonged to the Sforza family and were part of the Sforza Castle.

In 1499, after the rule of the Sforza family in Milan was ended by the French King Louis XII, with the decline of the Sforza Castle, this street gradually fell silent.

After hundreds of years of development, this street has slowly regained its vitality, and there are more and more buildings of various styles, gradually developing into a bustling commercial street.

The current Vincenzo Monte Avenue has restaurants, cafes, antique shops, fashion stores, jewelry stores, etc. of various flavors.

"It doesn't matter, our goal is those Renaissance-style buildings, to be precise, those ancient buildings built between 1482 and 1499, and other buildings don't need to be seen at all.

that period of time,

It was Da Vinci’s 18-year stay in Milan, which was also the peak of his artistic career. If he really presided over the construction of a number of buildings here, he would definitely not be able to hide it from my eyes.

Once I figured out which buildings belonged to Leonardo, and what secrets might be hidden, then I could sell, even if I bought all the Renaissance buildings here.

Next, you have to keep a low profile and act secretly. Later, I asked David to hurry up and register a new company in New York, which is specially used to acquire buildings on this street to deceive people! "

Ye Tian smiled and said in a low voice, revealing his ambition a little.

Then, the two of them chatted a few more words before ending the call.

Immediately afterwards, Ye Tian and Betty turned right and walked into Vincenzo Monte Street, strolling along this street, admiring the ancient buildings and various scenery on both sides of the street.

Anderson, Cole and the others followed closely and walked into this ancient street, of course, including those highly alert Milan police and cultural relic gendarmes!

Like many places they passed through before, the appearance of their group immediately caused a commotion on this ancient and beautiful street.

Pedestrians and tourists walking on this street, merchants and clerks doing business here, and people sitting in cafes drinking coffee, almost everyone looked at them curiously.

"I'm going! Why did this guy Steven come to Vincenzo Monte Street? This is not a good thing! Especially for the antique shops on the street, this may be a disaster!"

"I'm going to leave this street after drinking my coffee, lest I want to leave later and have nowhere to escape. No matter where the bastard Steven goes, there will be no peace anywhere!"

Ye Tian seemed to have never heard of these discussions, as well as the eyes full of curiosity and fear, and didn't take it seriously at all. He still walked leisurely on the street, admiring the scenery here.

Not far along the street, Ye Tian stopped suddenly, looked at a building on the east side of the street, and said excitedly:

"There is an ancient Renaissance-style building here, which looks like it was built in the mid-Renaissance period, which coincides with the period when Da Vinci was in Milan. Let's go and have a look"

As he spoke, he took Betty across the road and walked towards the three-story building more than ten meters ahead on the left.

Anderson and the others followed and walked across the street towards the historic building.

As for the Milan police and a few cultural relics policemen who followed behind more than ten meters away, they looked at Ye Tian and the others in confusion, and they didn't know what to do!

When he came to stand in front of this historical building, Ye Tian saw the dragon-shaped snake emblem carved on the marble on the outer wall of the building at a glance.

The next moment, he pointed to the dragon-shaped snake badge and said:

"Look there, everyone. It is a dragon-shaped snake emblem, which is the family emblem of the Sforza family, the rulers of Milan during the Renaissance. This family ruled Milan for a short period of time, only more than 50 years.

However, this family has left a strong mark in the history of Italy and even the history of Western art. The main reason is the friendship between Ludvico, Duke of Milan and Leonardo da Vinci.

It is precisely because of the strong support of the Sforza family that Da Vinci was able to gain a foothold in Milan, and then reached the peak of his artistic career, creating many immortal works, including "The Last Supper".

Since the ancient building in front of me has the family emblem of the Sforza family, it means that it used to be an annex of the Sforza Castle. It belonged to the Sforza family at that time, and it has a good background! ..."

While explaining the introduction, Ye Tian also turned on the perspective, and began to secretly investigate the internal conditions of this ancient building and the conditions deep underground.

This historic building is now an Italian restaurant, and since it was not lunch time, there were no customers in the restaurant, only some restaurant staff were busy.

In this restaurant, Ye Tian found two hidden compartments on the wall, but they were all empty without anything.

As for the deep underground, there are only black soil and hard rocks, and there are no secret rooms or tunnels, and naturally there are no surprising discoveries!

After admiring this historic building for a while, everyone continued to move on to another building not far ahead, which was also a Renaissance style building.

Same as before, in this ancient Renaissance-style building and deep underground, Ye Tian still found nothing, nothing!

The results of the next third building and fourth building were the same. He didn't see any valuable antique works of art, let alone secret rooms and secret passages!

Until he came to the fifth Renaissance-style building on the east side of the street, when Ye Tian's vision penetrated deep into the ground, a deep and dark secret passage suddenly broke into his eyes.

Although Ye Tian didn't find anything of great value within the range of his eyes, there was a flash of ecstasy in his eyes, which was fleeting!

A bronze candlestick inserted on the wall of the secret passage, although it has been rusted and covered with dust, the light it emits accurately reveals the age it came from!

The era that the bronze candlestick came from was the late fifteenth century, the brilliant era when Da Vinci released his genius to the fullest!
