Chapter 1383: Take the "Portrait of Venus" Home and Guard the Gate

As soon as Shen Long heard the name of Milos Island, Shen Long remembered what he said when he saw the imitation "Portrait of Venus" when he went to the French art exhibition with Qin Ling in the world of "Romance in Blood".

"Portrait of Venus" is also called "Venus of Milos". When the two of them went to see the art exhibition, they had studied the information of this statue in advance and clearly remembered the experience of its excavation.

"Venus of Milos" was buried in the ground during the medieval iconoclasm movement. More than a thousand years later, in February 1820, on the island of Milos in the Aegean Sea, a farmer was preparing the ground next to an ancient tomb A statue of a woman was excavated; she was divided into upper and lower parts, and the farmer immediately buried them in place and reported to the French consul on the island.

The consul then notified the French ambassador in Constantinople. At the same time, a lover of Greek art and a French naval officer, Juul-Dumont-Dourville, who was doing surveys in the Aegean Sea, was very concerned about this; when he saw some fragments of these statues, he thought they were a whole, and The first to conclude that this is the statue of Venus.

So he immediately told the farmer that France decided to buy her, and asked him not to make a fuss about it, and then rushed to Constantinople to report the details to the ambassador, which prompted the ambassador to make up his mind and send someone to deal; The elders held a meeting and decided to order the farmer to sell the statue to a Greek official serving in Turkey. When the French arrived on the island, it was already the critical moment for the statue to be shipped.

Seeing this, they almost used force and ordered the French ships to be ready for action at any time. A storm delayed the departure of the Turkish ships. The two sides fought fiercely. In the melee, the arms of the statue of Venus were broken.

Finally, after several twists and turns, the statue was finally transferred to the French ship, and later presented money to the island, thus obtaining a letter of oath to abandon the statue on the island, and the statue was successfully transported to Paris. On March 2, 1821, King Louis XVIII officially accepted it From this day on, it has become the property of the French state and is displayed in the special exhibition room of the Louvre. The treasure of the town hall.

Now Shen Long came to Milos Island a hundred years earlier than when "Venus of Milos" was discovered. The statue should still be buried where the farmer found it, and he can dig it out and take it away. .

Many sailors had been sailing at sea for so long, and they wanted to get off the ship and go to land for a rest. Hearing this order, they immediately became excited, docked quickly, and then rushed down to control the pier.

The area of ​​Milos Island is not small, 150 square kilometers, which is about the same size as Xiamen Island. However, there are not many people on the island, and its defense capability is terribly low. The sailors of the King of the Seven Seas quickly I took control of the main places on the island, and began to enjoy the local delicacies with the wine snatched from the local officials' warehouses.

Shen Long left manpower to guard the King of the Seven Seas and the port, and then took Arya and Captain Barbossa to search for "Venus of Milos" according to the route he saw in the data.

Fortunately, the information in the future clearly described how and where the statue was discovered. It didn't take long for Shen Long to find the place, and he used magic to bring out the "Statue of Venus" hidden in the ground.

The statue had been broken, which may be the reason for the rush to bury the statue, but her two arms were still intact. Shen Long put the pieces together and glued them together using alchemy, so a statue with two arms The "Portrait of Venus" with arms is presented in front of them.

Captain Barbossa looked at the statue curiously,

Came here just to find this? It doesn't seem like she has any unique abilities? He thought that Shen Long was going to dig out some magical product with extraordinary abilities!

"Whoa, that's the one in the textbook?" The statue is so famous that even Arya recognized it. "I didn't expect her arms to look like this!"

"Hmm, how about we take it home and put it in our yard?" Shen Long asked.

"It doesn't match the style of the yard, but it's just a small thing. It's a very happy thing to have such a statue at home!" Arya also felt the charm of art, "Just a statue, Will it be a little lonely?"

"It doesn't matter, we can find the next one!" "The Statue of Victory" is also a Greek artwork. The "Portrait of Negi" was discovered more than forty years later than "Venus of Milos", so it is also good now.

Rested on Milos Island for one night, and the next day they arrived at Samothrace Island and found the "Statue of Victory". The original work lacked a head, arms and hands when it was discovered, but Shen Long used magic ability Find the incomplete parts and glue them together as you did with the Venus of Milos.

Then I packed it into a box and stuffed it into my personal space. It’s useless to leave this thing to Shao Feng. It’s better to bring it back to the real world. Anyway, the French robbed so many treasures of our country, so I’ll take them both. What are the pieces? What's more, these two things were not originally French.

After a brief episode, Shen Long led the King of the Seven Seas to set sail again, passing through the Peloponnese Peninsula and Crete, and entering the Ionian Sea outside the Adriatic Sea.

Barbosa saw the shadow of Sicily from a distance on the observation deck, which made Shen Long fall into the memory again, at least he has a relationship, so let's not grab Sicily this time, anyway, this place is very poor, There is nothing to grab!

They were planning to turn north, cross the Strait of Otranto, and enter the Adriatic Sea, but at this moment, Barbosa on the observation deck sent new news, "Captain Shao Feng, there are two The fleet is at war, look at the flags they are flying, it is the fleet of Villanueva and Chaval!"

"Oh? Are the Pirate Kings of the Adriatic Sea and the Mediterranean Sea Pirates fighting? This will save us a lot of trouble! Turn around, let's get involved!" Shen Long quickly gave an order, if Villanueva It would be great if I was on the boat with Chaval himself. In this case, I don't need to go to the Adriatic Sea or the port of Marseilles, and I can get two eight riyals at a time.

The sailors on the ship quickly became excited. They yelled and adjusted the direction of the ship, preparing to attack the two pirate kings at the same time.
