Chapter 1535: Crazy Napoleon

Ye Tian held the crown of the Holy Roman Empire with his left hand, and held a soft cloth in his right hand, carefully and gently wiped the dust off the cross on the crown top.

The next moment, a diamond-shaped white diamond set in the center of a golden cross appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

Under the light, the huge flawless white diamond is crystal clear and dazzling, radiating dazzling light, which is dazzling!

There was a moment of silence before the live broadcast, and then the pot was completely boiled.

"Wow! That's a flawless white diamond, it's so big, so beautiful, it's crazy!"

"Steven's right, this is definitely a priceless piece of top-notch antique art, if nothing else, just this flawless white diamond, its value is astronomical!"

Just when people were exclaiming, Ye Tianqing's voice came again, and it instantly overpowered all the voices.

"Before introducing this crown of the Holy Roman Empire, I think it is necessary to popularize some knowledge about it so that everyone can better appreciate this treasure.

The oldest surviving crown is the Golden Crown of the Holy Roman Empire, which was made in the 10th century during the reign of Otto I or Conrad II III.

During the Holy Roman Empire, the Golden Crown, the Imperial Sword, the Imperial Spear and the Imperial Cross together constituted the symbol of the Holy Kingship, which was kept in Nuremberg from 1424 to 1796.

Nuremberg was the birthplace of the Frankish kingdom, and these royal treasures could only leave Nuremberg when a new monarch was crowned, and to this day, the golden crown is kept in Hofburg, Austria.

Hearing this, everyone should have understood that the dazzling crown in front of you is not the golden crown of the Holy Roman Empire made in the 10th century, but another crown.

But the origin of this crown is no less important than that of the Holy Roman Empire, and from the 15th to the early 19th century, it was a true symbol of imperial power.

At the beginning of the 15th century, after the Habsburgs took the throne of the Holy Roman Empire, they made this new crown in the style of a golden crown to symbolize the royal power of the Habsburgs.

Like the golden crown, this crown has the shape of an octahedral prism, surrounded by eight gold plates inlaid with precious stones and pearls, numbering in the hundreds!

In addition, the eight gold plates are decorated with many enamel motifs, each with different contents, all from the Old and New Testament religious stories, symbolizing the divine right of kings.

There is an arch at the top of the crown, and above the arch there is a cross, which is exactly what you see now, and it is not only inlaid with diamonds, but also jade and sapphires,......"

Next, Ye Tian introduced this Holy Roman Empire crown while gently wiping the dust on the crown, and his movements were very gentle.

With his movements, the crown, made by the Habsburgs in the early 15th century, symbolizing the imperial power of the Holy Roman Empire, gradually revealed its true face and shone again!

In front of countless live broadcasts, people listened to Ye Tian's explanation with relish, staring closely at the dazzling crown on the live broadcast screen, their eyes full of envy.

Having finished dusting Napoleon's entry into Vienna, Martinez turned his head to look at the crown, and his eyes were hot!

At this time, he wanted to take the crown for himself, and then bring it back to the Louvre, where it will be displayed in the Louvre's exhibition hall for everyone to enjoy!

That's where it should be, not sleeping in this dark underground chamber, and not falling into the hands of that bastard Steven!

As he spoke, Ye Tian's explanation was nearing the end.

“...... In 1804, Franz II wore this crown in Vienna and proclaimed himself Emperor of Austria, in response to Napoleon's proclamation of emperor, becoming the first emperor of the Austrian Empire.

It was Napoleon who put a strong end to the Holy Roman Empire in 1806, and Franz II had to take off the crown of the Holy Roman Empire and become the last emperor in the history of the Holy Roman Empire.

Since then, this dazzling crown of the Holy Roman Empire has completely disappeared from the eyes of the world, and has not been seen again for more than 200 years.

It has to be said that I am very lucky to have found this crown today, and I believe that in the next exploration activities, I can find other things related to it, or literature!"

As soon as his voice fell, Martinez immediately said:

"It is clear that after Franz II was forced to take off the crown of the Holy Roman Empire, he sent it to Paris, where it became a trophy of the Napoleonic Emperor.

After Napoleon's defeat, the crown did not appear in the list of items returned to Austria, and no one knows where it went, and the truth is not revealed until today!"

When he said this, Martinez's tone was so sour that he sounded like he was in the middle of his teeth.

Not only him, but also the people who are watching this treasure hunt live broadcast, which one is not in a sour mood? Which one is not envious and his eyes are red? Without exception!

While finishing the explanation, Ye Tian also wiped the dust from the crown of the Holy Roman Empire.

Immediately after, he picked up the dazzling crown and slowly turned around in front of the high-definition camera he carried with him, showing it in its entirety!

Countless live broadcasts are boiling again, and there are sighs of admiration everywhere, one after another, endlessly!

After the display, Ye Tian reluctantly put the Holy Roman Empire crown back on the solid wood table and placed it in its original position.

Then he admired it for a while before he withdrew his gaze and said with a smile:

"Guys, let's continue to explore, I believe there are bigger surprises ahead, and there are many priceless top antique artworks waiting for us, today will be extremely beautiful!"

With that, he stepped out, bypassing the display wall in front of him and walking deeper into the chamber.

Martinez and Walker immediately withdrew their gaze and followed closely behind, everyone excited, and their steps were brisk, as if they were stepping on clouds!

At the same time, far away in Vienna, Austria, many people were staring at the crown of the Holy Roman Empire on the live broadcast screen with blood-red eyes, and they never took their eyes off for a moment!

"We must get this crown of the Holy Roman Empire back, at any cost, because more than 200 years ago, Napoleon led his army to sack Austria and sack Vienna.

More than 200 years have passed, we must not be looted by this bastard Steven again, this is a national treasure belonging to Austria, and it is time to return to this land, and we must not fall into the hands of others!"

"We have already started the operation, the ambassador to France and the cultural counsellor have already arrived at the Île de la Cité, where the building is located, but have been stopped by the Paris police at the corner and cannot enter the building.

The ambassador to France then contacted Steven's bastard's lawyer and made a formal claim that Steven's bastard would return the Holy Roman Empire crown to Austria.

But that bastard Steven is so greedy that he doesn't even bother with our claims, but tells us to get real money ready and go to him to negotiate a deal and redeem that crown!"

"What a bastard, I hate these damn Yankees, it's so damn damn!"

The angry curse suddenly sounded, revealing endless anger and a bit of helplessness.

Although he didn't witness these things that happened in Vienna with his own eyes, all of this was expected by Ye Tian, and he didn't care about it!

If you want this crown of the Holy Roman Empire, then trade it with real money, otherwise you don't have to talk about it, no matter which way you are an immortal, it's all the same!

Between three or two steps, Ye Tian and the others had already turned the display wall and came to the back of the wall.

It was only then that they actually entered the underground vault where Napoleon's treasure was hidden.

The moment they walked into this underground secret room, except for Ye Tian, Walker and Martinez were all completely stunned by everything in front of them, and they were directly stunned in place!

Everyone in front of the live broadcast was the same, their eyes were round one by one, staring at the live broadcast screen, and their eyes were about to fly out of their sockets.

Under the illumination of the two searchlights, the situation in the underground secret room is clearly presented in front of people's eyes.

It's not so much an underground chamber as it is an underground palace.

The first thing they saw Ye Tian was a dome made of granite, which was extremely solid and magnificent!

Beneath the high dome is a spacious hall with a considerable area!

In the hall, there are seven or eight marble columns with a diameter of about half a meter, firmly supporting the dome and supporting the ground of the old Renaissance style old building!

Looking at the location of this hall, it is just below the atrium garden of the old building on the ground, and the pressure on the dome is not too great!

Through the searchlight, you can see that the dome, the four walls, and the marble pillars used to support the hall are all carved with elaborate ornamental patterns and several frescoes!

Although separated by a certain distance, Ye Tian and Martinez could still see at a glance that those ornamental patterns and murals were not only exquisite, but also had a certain artistic value, and they were all neoclassical works!

It can be deduced that this underground chamber was built at the beginning of the 19th century, most likely by order of Napoleon himself, and that Jacques David was responsible.

In addition to the carved ornamental patterns and frescoes, there are also many oil paintings hanging on the walls around the hall and on those marble columns, each of which has a glass cover, which is very well protected!

On the floor of the hall, there are many boxes piled up.

The boxes were stacked on top of each other in a variety of sizes and sizes, and they were stacked like hills, dusty and moss-covered!

No need to ask, those chests must have been filled with top-quality antique artworks, each of which was worth a lot of money, otherwise Napoleon wouldn't have hidden them here!

But what those antique artworks are, except for Ye Tian, others don't know at all, only by opening those boxes one by one, the answer will really be revealed!

"Hiss——!"

Martinez and the others finally came to their senses, and then they all gasped, and they couldn't believe their eyes.

"Oh my God! How is this possible? How many treasures is Napoleon hiding here? It's crazy!"

With Martinez's slightly tremolo emotion, everyone on the live broadcast side was awakened.

In the next moment, many people jumped up from the sofa like an electric shock and threw themselves directly into the TV or computer screen, almost crazy!8)
