Chapter 2759: A cryptex comparable to top art
In addition to the Arabic numeral 1, this granite pillar is also engraved with some exquisite patterns and decorations. The contents of the patterns are all from the biblical stories, and the text is Latin, which Ye Tian did not know.
In fact, they are not very concerned about this No. 1 stone pillar, and it is not the time to do research!
What they are most concerned about right now is not the granite stone pillar, but the stone gate next to it and the Da Vinci cryptex that opened the stone gate.
After introducing the No. 1 stone pillar, Ye Tian took the towel and began to wipe the dust and moss attached to the stone door in front of him. His movements were very gentle and extremely careful.
Peter and Derek walked down the spiral staircase, busy arranging lighting fixtures in this small space, so that the subsequent exploration activities can be carried out smoothly.
While speaking, Ye Tian had wiped the dust and moss on the stone gate, and the patterns and words carved on the arched stone gate appeared immediately!
In the center of this stone gate is carved an Italian man wearing a gorgeous robe and a crown.
He stood on a high platform, condescending, holding a knight sword in his right hand, and a scepter in his left hand, his eyes were looking forward, his face was solemn and a bit majestic.
The scepter he held in his hand was almost as high as him. One end stood on the ground, and the head of the scepter was a huge and hideous double-headed snake!
Not far behind him, is a magnificent church, which looks like Milan Cathedral, but it is specious!
Obviously, this is the portrait of the Grand Duke of Milan. It can be seen from the double-headed snake scepter that the Grand Duke of Milan is from the Sforza family!
Under this stone gate, there are a few people with horrified faces holding swords and falling to the ground, and a guy with a different body, looking like the enemy of the Duke of Milan above!
In addition, at the bottom of the Shimen, there is a line of swashes in ancient Latin and a line of Arabic numerals, which are written from 1401 to 1466.
Looking at these contents on Shimen, Ye Tian couldn't help but flashed a ecstasy, even if he had already seen all this through perspective!
Peter and Derek, who finished setting up the lighting fixtures, stood behind Ye Tian, staring at the stone gate in amazement.
Immediately afterwards, Derek asked in surprise:
"Steven, who is the figure carved on this stone gate? Looks like a king!"
Ye Tian turned to look at these two guys, and then explained:
"This Italian man is Francesco Sforza who founded the Sforza dynasty of the Duchy of Milan. He is the first Grand Duke of Milan in the Sforza family. Although he is not a king, he is almost like a king!
In 1450, Francesco Sforza became the Duke of Milan, and the Duchy of Milan came under the rule of the Sforza family. He died in 1466, when Leonardo was still studying art!
In other words, the Grand Duke of Milan did not intersect with Leonardo da Vinci. When Leonardo went to Milan for the first time in 1482, the second Grand Duke of Milan was in power, and it was he who strongly funded Leonardo.
Since Leonardo da Vinci carved the portrait of the first generation of Grand Duke of Milan on this stone gate, I couldn't help but start thinking. Behind this stone gate, is there hidden the legendary Sforza family treasure? "
Before the words were over, the two guys Peter and Derek exclaimed.
"Wow! The treasure of the Sforza family? I heard it right?"
"It's great, it looks like we're going to make a fortune again!"
Seeing these two excited guys, Ye Tian also laughed loudly, and lightly waved his fist to celebrate!
Fortunately, the Italians like Giovanni are not here. If you let those guys see this scene and hear what Ye Tian said, they will probably be so jealous and mad!
After the celebration, Ye Tian began to carefully examine the stone gate, as well as the patterns and words carved on the stone gate.
Of course, this was just a performance. It was performed for Peter and Derek and everyone else. It was an indispensable procedure.
Needless to say the result of the exploration, on the surface of this stone gate, he did not find any deadly traps, nor any other secrets.
Then, he checked the No. 1 stone pillar next to him, as well as the walls, the ground, and the ceiling above, and he still found nothing!
Finally, he came to the Vinci cryptex and began to look at this mysterious thing that was created by Leonardo and only existed in legends in the past.
Before that, he took the heavy police shield over, leaned against the wall and placed it next to him, in case of emergency, and did not forget to remind the two men.
"Peter, Derek, I'm going to check this Da Vinci cryptex. You must be vigilant. If there is any accident, immediately rush up the spiral staircase.
You don’t have to think about rescuing me. I have the ability to protect myself. What you have to do is to ensure your safety and rush to the ground as soon as possible. I don’t want to spend an extra pension."
"Hahaha, got it, Steven, we will be more vigilant"
Peter and Derek responded with a smile, their voices sounding rather relaxed.
In fact, these two guys were already tense, their eyes fixed on Ye Tian and the Da Vinci cryptex on the wall, smiling somewhat reluctantly.
After vaccinating the two guys, Ye Tian picked up a towel and gently wiped off the dust and moss around the Da Vinci cryptex, and carefully inspected this area on the wall.
Then he cautiously began to wipe the dust and moss that fell on the cipher cylinder, his movements were extremely gentle, as if he was stroking the skin of a baby, and he was so caring!
In fact, he knows better than anyone, if he accidentally triggers the trap connected to this cryptex, what kind of disaster will be caused!
In that case, it is really possible for me to leave my life here. As for Peter and Derek, there is not even a chance of surviving!
It took nearly ten minutes before he wiped off the dust and moss accumulated on the cryptex, so that the Da Vinci cryptex finally revealed its true face.
This is a bronze cipher cylinder, about sixty centimeters high and thirty centimeters wide. It is embedded on the granite wall. Due to the anti-rust process, there is no trace of rust on the cipher cylinder!
On the outside of this cryptex, there are some exquisite decorations in the Renaissance style and the emblem of the Sforza family, which are very eye-catching, but there is nothing related to Leonardo.
Of course, this cryptex with the emblem of the Sforza family came from Leonardo!
As Ye Tian said before, there are five turntables in this Da Vinci cryptex, arranged from top to bottom. Most of the turntables are hidden in the cryptex, or hidden in the wall.
Less than a quarter of the exposed part!
On this gear-shaped turntable, 26 uppercase Latin letters are engraved, one on each gear, and the arrangement is very neat.
In addition, the gears of these five turntables have some traces of friction, more or less.
It can be seen that after the Da Vinci cipher was manufactured, it was used, opened and closed many times.
After it was placed here, it has been opened and closed many times. As for the reason, it should be someone transporting things into the space behind the stone gate to open the stone gate continuously.
Looking at this cryptex, which was made more than 500 years ago, but is so exquisite that it can even be called a work of art, Ye Tian couldn't help but be a little surprised, secretly admiring it!
Only a super genius like Leonardo da Vinci was able to design such a perfect and exquisite cryptex more than five hundred years ago, and it is still working today!
After carefully observing the Da Vinci cryptex, Ye Tian said:
"Peter and Derek, come and take a look at this Da Vinci cryptex. This is probably the only Da Vinci cryptex in the world. It is itself a top-notch antique cultural relic of invaluable value. You must not miss it!
Hearing this, Peter and Derek immediately stepped forward and looked at the Da Vinci cryptex curiously. Both of them were excited and a little nervous.
Not surprisingly, when they saw the appearance of this cipher tube and roughly understood how complicated it was, they immediately screamed in exclamation!
"Oh my God! How did Leonardo design such a sophisticated and advanced thing during the Renaissance, when technology was so backward? It's incredible!"
"Wow! If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would never believe that this is an antique relic from more than 500 years ago. This thing is really shocking!"
Seeing these two exclaimed guys, Ye Tian couldn't help but laugh softly.
At the same time, he took out a magnifying glass pretentiously, ready to check the traces on the Da Vinci cryptex, trying to find the correct code!
