The things stored in this room are many large and small picture frames tightly wrapped in moisture-proof tarpaulin, as well as some crates of different sizes.
The picture frames, tightly wrapped in moisture-proof oilcloth, were either hung on the wall or stood on several wooden shelves against the wall. There were dozens or even hundreds of pictures, and the number was quite astonishing.
Due to the moisture-proof tarpaulin outside, no one can see the contents of these frames, and there is currently no way to know.
But what is certain is that these frames are by no means empty. There must be a valuable painting in each frame.
Otherwise, they would not be hidden in this highly secretive underground palace.
There is no way of knowing where these paintings come from, where Napoleon snatched them from, and which painters in history they are from!
In addition to the picture frames, tightly wrapped in moisture-proof tarpaulin, the room also contained eight or nine crates of various sizes, placed on a wooden shelf in the center of the room.
What is contained in these crates is currently unknown.
Everyone was shocked when they saw the situation in this room.
"Wow! This is the essence of Napoleon's treasure. The gold and silver treasures outside are probably the least important things, so they are placed in the aisle outside, without a layer of protection."
"I wonder where these paintings come from? Which famous painters are they? What are the things in those crates? It's so exciting!"
Just when everyone was exclaiming, Xiao Ran had already started exploring.
He first squatted down and pretended to look at the ground in the room carefully.
Then he stood up, took a towel, and gently wiped the walls on both sides of the door.
The next moment, a line of text suddenly appeared on the left wall inside the door.
It was a line of French writing carved on the wall, and the handwriting was very clear.
"Austria, Habsburg-Lorraine"
Seeing this line of French, Xiao Ran couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
Pierre and others who were present at the scene, as well as everyone on the ground and on the live broadcast who could understand French, behaved in the same way.
The next moment, Xiao Ran suddenly smiled and said:
"I think I understand where these things hidden in this room come from!"
"Nine times out of ten, they come from the palace of the Habsburg-Lorraine dynasty in Austria. They are the trophies swept from the Austrian palace after Napoleon conquered Austria!"
"It is for this reason and to distinguish them from other antiques and works of art that Napoleon's men who hid them here engraved the words of the Habsburg-Lorraine Dynasty here."
"What is not certain now is the content of these paintings and what is contained in these boxes, but the answer will be revealed soon."
Not surprisingly, his words immediately caused a huge sensation and caused people to exclaim again and again!
"Oh my God! If what Sean said is right, Napoleon looted so many antiques and art from the Austrian Royal Palace alone, then this treasure is too amazing!"
"This is just one room, and there are many rooms behind it. It would be crazy if the situation in every room was the same as here!"
At this moment, Xiao Ran's clear voice came out again.
"I just checked the floors, walls, and vaults here, and I didn't find any traces of traps."
"It can be determined from this that this place is basically safe and everyone can enter and explore with confidence."
"Just in case, you'd better follow me and don't touch anything here before I explore the entire room."
With that said, he picked up the heavy police shield and walked into the room.
"We'll be careful, Sean."
Pierre and the others said in unison.
Immediately afterwards, these guys followed in, following suit.
Seven or eight minutes later, Xiao Ran quickly checked the small room and concluded that it was safe.
After confirming that the scene was safe, Pierre and the others began to move freely.
They immediately came to the picture frames wrapped in moisture-proof tarpaulin or came to the crates and looked at them with bright eyes.
When Xiao Ran came over, they immediately said impatiently:
"Sean, let's open these frames and boxes and see what they're really like."
"Yes, the things that come from the Habsburg-Lorraine Palace in Austria must be valuable treasures, which are very exciting."
Xiao Ran looked at these French guys, but smiled and shook his head.
"Gentlemen, I wonder if you have considered whether you can open these things immediately and check them?"
"These things have been hidden deep in the airtight underground for more than two hundred years and have long been accustomed to an oxygen-free and dark environment."
"If we open it immediately and check, will it cause serious oxidation reaction? Will it cause problems such as rapid fading and aging under strong light?"
"If these problems really occur, the huge losses caused will be difficult to recover. I believe no one wants to see such a result."
"In view of this, I decided not to open these frames wrapped in moisture-proof tarpaulin, but to give them more time to adapt to the environment."
"After they are moved to the ground, I can arrange a room specifically for viewing and appraising these paintings. That will be safer."
"If we find a bronze or marble sculpture, we can open it here and check it out, but we can only open a maximum of one box in each room."
Hearing his words, Pierre and Henry were stunned for a moment.
Then they looked at each other quickly and nodded in unison.
"What you said makes sense, Sean. We were a little too excited and didn't think about these problems."
"It doesn't matter. Anyone who encounters such an amazing treasure will be excited about it. It's human nature."
Xiao Ran said with a smile.
Then, he went straight to the boxes placed in the center of the room and pretended to look at them carefully.
Meanwhile, Vienna.
Many senior government officials, including the Austrian Chancellor, as well as archaeologists, historians, and professionals from all walks of life were watching the live broadcast of the exploration.
When they saw the line about Austria's Habsburg-Lorraine dynasty, they all had an orgasm.
The Austrians cheered for a while, and then started talking.
"We must immediately issue a statement claiming these antiques, cultural relics and works of art stolen by Napoleon. These treasures belong to Austria and should be returned!"
"But modern Austria has nothing to do with the Habsburg-Lorraine dynasty, and the regime has changed several times. Isn't it a bit far-fetched for us to make a claim?"
"The apartment building where Napoleon's treasure is located is privately owned by Sean, which means that Napoleon's treasure now belongs to him."
"He has nothing to do with Napoleon or France, and he is notoriously cunning and greedy. Will he return these treasures to us? I think it's difficult."
Listening to these discussions, the faces of the Austrian Prime Minister and others became increasingly ugly.
They know that they are somewhat wishful thinking and taking things for granted.
It is unlikely that Austria would be able to recover these antique works of art stolen by Napoleon.
At this moment, Xiao Ran on the live broadcast screen had opened a heavy crate.
What then appeared in front of everyone was a bronze statue more than half a meter high, a neoclassical style sculpture.
What this statue portrays is the image of a middle-aged nobleman riding on a war horse and holding a long sword to direct the battle.
It can be seen from the clothes of this middle-aged man that he is the Holy Roman Emperor or the King of Hungary and Bohemia.
The next moment, Xiao Ran's clear voice came out from the live broadcast screen again.
"If I read it correctly, this should be a personal statue of Leopold II, Holy Roman Emperor, King of Hungary and Bohemia."
"This Qingtong statue is very exquisite. It is in neoclassical style. From the perspective of artistic expression, it is very similar to the work of Oudon, the famous French sculpture master in the 18th century..."
After hearing this, the eyes of everyone in the Austrian Prime Minister's Office suddenly became brighter.
The next moment, the Austrian Prime Minister suddenly said:
"Immediately issue a public statement claiming these antiques and artworks that were stolen by Napoleon and originally belonged to Austria."
"As long as there is a slight possibility, we must work hard and never let this guy Sean take away these treasures."
"Okay, Mr. Prime Minister, I will draft a public statement right away."
The Prime Minister's Secretary immediately stood up and responded, then turned and walked out.
The same scene happened one after another in the presidential palaces or prime minister's offices of other European countries.
