Chapter 2665: 1 mutilated right foot
After the meeting with the Pope and the Bishop of Kent, Ye Tian and the others left the Vatican and went to a five-star hotel not far from the Vatican.
When they left the Vatican, the Pope also invited them to stay in a hotel attached to the Vatican, or the small building where they had lived before, but Ye Tian declined it.
He didn't want to put all his actions in Rome under the eyes of others. Even if the Vatican was a friend but not an enemy, it would basically pose no threat.
Not long after arriving at the hotel, some old friends called by one after another, asking him why he suddenly appeared in Rome instead of Jerusalem as everyone thought, and whether he found any treasure in Rome.
For these curious or intentional inquiries, Ye Tian used the excuse that he came to Rome this time mainly to thank the Pope for his canonization and dealt with it at will.
In a blink of an eye, it was already noon.
Derek and several company employees knocked on the door and walked into the presidential suite where Ye Tian lived. These guys pushed two luggage carts with seven or eight huge metal suitcases stacked on them.
After entering the living room, Derek pointed to the suitcases and said:
"Steven, what's in these suitcases are the statue fragments that Irvine collected in Rome according to your instructions. Some of them are from all over Italy, and some are from Greece and surrounding areas."
As soon as the voice fell, Irvine, who had been in Rome before, said:
"Steven, the statue fragments in these boxes are somewhat characteristic of ancient Greek sculptures. The important thing is that the marble used for carving is exactly the kind of marble you specified.
As for whether these statue fragments are what you are looking for, you need to identify them yourself. I hope that these fragments are what you are looking for, so that we are not in vain during this time.
In the process of collecting these statue fragments, the Italian cultural relics gendarmerie has been watching us closely, and even intercepted and inspected these statue fragments in secret, but found nothing"
Hearing this, Ye Tian nodded and said with a smile:
"Good job, Irvine, open these suitcases and let me see these old statue fragments. As for the Italian military police, it is impossible for them to know that these statue fragments are from that famous sculpture."
Derek and Irwin nodded their heads, and then removed the heavy metal suitcases from the luggage cart, lined them up, and placed them on the floor.
Then, they opened these suitcases one by one.
What appeared in front of everyone was a pile of dilapidated marble statue fragments, large and small, with different shapes, some of which could be seen in outline, and some of them could not even be distinguished from the part of the statue.
The moment he saw the fragments of these statues, David's eyes immediately flashed with a clear color, and he was a little excited. He had guessed what treasures were in these statues!
In the depths of Ye Tian's eyes, there was a flash of ecstasy, which was fleeting.
Next, he pretended to examine these statue fragments carefully, then picked out several statue fragments from them, and placed them carefully on the solid wood coffee table.
Among the fragments of these marble statues, including the right foot of a female sculpture, is the most complete. The remaining fragments of the statues are relatively small, and it is difficult to tell which part of the statue they came from.
After picking out these statue fragments, Ye Tian looked at the other statue fragments again, pondered for a moment, and then said with a smile:
"Erwin, tomorrow you will take the few statue fragments I picked out and fly directly to Beijing on my private plane. Someone from Beijing will meet you and receive these statue fragments.

As for the other statue fragments, although they are not what I was looking for, they are all statue fragments from ancient Greece and still have a certain artistic value. Let's take it back to New York! "
"Okay, Steven"
Irwin nodded in response. Although he was very curious, he didn't ask much.
Next, Ye Tian urged Irvine, Derek and the others to leave the presidential suite.
After they left, David finally couldn't restrain his curiosity and asked in a low voice excitedly:
"Steven, the fragments of these ancient Greek statues you just picked out. Could it be that Chengdu is a fragment of "The Statue of Athena"? It is the only "Statue of Athena" left by the classical sculpture **** Phidias. Part?"
Ye Tian looked at this guy, then nodded triumphantly and said:
"Yes, the right foot of this statue standing on the ground with its toes is the right foot of the statue of Athena of Phidias. The remaining fragments are also from the statue of Athens, but what exactly are the fragments? , Need to study!
The shapes and lines on the fragments of these statues are full of the charm of ancient Greek idealism, simple and elegant, and full of power. This is exactly the same as the artistic style of the fragments of the statues of Athena I have collected before!
Including these statue fragments, I have collected nearly 85% of Phidias’s "Statue of Athena". Before the private museum in Beijing is built, I hope to collect more than 95% of this famous statue.
When my private museum opens, the greatest classical sculpture in the Western world, "The Statue of Athena", will stand at the entrance of the ancient Greek and Roman sculpture museum, becoming a symbol of Western civilization! "
As he said, Ye Tian had already walked to the fragment of the right foot of "The Statue of Athena" and admired it with intoxication.
David, who was on the side, first exclaimed in a low voice, and then stepped forward to admire the fragments of these priceless statues.
……
Soon, the time came to the afternoon.
Ye Tian and the others left the room and prepared to visit the Vatican Museums to appreciate the many antique works of art displayed in that top museum.
Of course, Ye Tian has another ulterior motive, which is to go to the Vatican Museum to rob aura and make himself stronger.
When the group of them came out of the elevator and just walked into the hotel lobby, they saw a few familiar old friends at a glance.
The one headed by is Giovanni of the Italian Antiquities Gendarmerie, as well as his subordinate Pizarro and some other guys.
Seeing these guys, Ye Tian stopped immediately and looked at these familiar old friends with a smile.
At the same time, Giovanni also brought a group of his men to them, and everyone's eyes were full of jealousy.
When came to the front, the two sides naturally exchanged polite greetings and shook hands. At first glance, they looked like old friends who hadn't seen each other for a long time!
After completing the procedures on these scenes, Giovanni said in a low voice:
"Steven, can you say frankly, what is the purpose of your coming to Italy this time? Don't say that you are here to travel, no one will believe such nonsense!"
Ye Tian looked at this old friend, then smiled and said:
"Don't be nervous, Giovanni, you guessed it, this time we come to Rome, it is indeed not a tour, although the scenery of Italy at this season is beautiful, it is worth visiting!
You must have heard that our company is about to cooperate with the Israelis to explore a legendary and famous treasure. In fact, there is a third party in this joint exploration operation.
This third party is the Vatican who has worked with us before~www.wuxiaspot.com~ The reason why I came to Rome this time is to communicate with the Vatican before signing the joint exploration agreement!
In addition, I would also like to thank His Majesty the Pope. As you know, at the Sunday Mass in early June, His Majesty the Pope personally canonized my wife and children. Of course I have to say something."
Hearing this explanation, the expressions of Giovanni and his men were relaxed, as if relaxed a little.
Next, Ye Tian chatted with these old friends a few more words, then left and took David and the others out of the hotel.
Looking at their leaving back, Pizarro asked with a gloomy expression:
"Boss, do you believe what Steven said just now? I don't believe it very much!"
Giovanni shook his head firmly, then whispered while biting his molars:
"I don't believe a word. Whoever believes in anyone is an out-and-out idiot. Steven, a greedy bastard, must have an ulterior motive when he comes to Rome. Our task is to stare at this **** for a moment Relax!"
The words fell, and the Italian cultural relics at the scene nodded at the same time, quite a bit of resentment.
After that, Giovanni took these men out of the hotel, surrounded by Ye Tian and the others, and walked to the Vatican Museum not far away!
