After a pause, Ye Tian continued:
“In the Battle of Hattin in 1187, the Crusaders of the Kingdom of Jerusalem were defeated by Saladin. Although the True Cross was guarded by the Templars until the last moment, it eventually fell into the hands of the enemy.
If Saladin had not personally ordered the massacre to stop, all the Templar knights guarding the True Cross would have died. After obtaining the 'True Cross', Saladin ordered this Christian holy object to be broken.
Since then, the True Cross has completely disappeared from history. What is unexpected is that we are lucky enough to see fragments of the 'True Cross' here. This is undoubtedly a great discovery.
According to my judgment, this irregular dark wooden board is most likely a fragment of the 'True Cross'. The marks of knife, axe, and fire on the wooden board do come from the late twelfth century."
After hearing this, the eyes of everyone present became extremely bright, like searchlights, and everyone’s eyes became more and more fanatical!
However, no one at the scene made a sound, but continued to listen to Ye Tian's analysis.
"There is a certain reason why this fragment of the True Cross appears here. After the victory at the Battle of Hattin, Saladin did not massacre the last remaining Templars, but let them go.
This includes Gerard, the head of the Knights Templar. I have to admit that Saladin is a very chivalrous and talented commander, which is well known and widely praised.
As the winner of the Battle of Hattin, I think Saladin did not hesitate to show his famous chivalry and gave Gerard a fragment of the True Cross when he withdrew from Jerusalem.
Gerard then led the remaining Templars to retreat to Cyprus, licking their wounds and recuperating on the island, ready to counterattack the Holy Land of Jerusalem across the sea.
Naturally, this fragment of the True Cross was also brought to Cyprus. At the same time, there should be relics of King Baldwin IV of Jerusalem and other items brought to the island of Cyprus.
Why are the fragments of the True Cross placed together with the relics of Baldwin IV? One is because of Baldwin IV's status as king of the Kingdom of Jerusalem, and the other is because of the high prestige he enjoyed among the Crusaders!
More importantly, the last clearly recorded manifestation of the 'True Cross' in history happened to be during the Battle of Montgisard, when Baldwin IV took the lead and led the Templar Knights and infantry to charge into the battle.
For the above reasons, after Gerard brought the True Cross to Cyprus, he placed this Christian holy relic with the relics of Baldwin IV, and it has been kept until now.
Of course, this is just my personal speculation and a family opinion. Whether it is specific or not, I believe it is recorded on the parchment under the dark wooden board. You will know later when you look at it! ”
After the words fell, the scene immediately became quiet, leaving only the sound of heavy and rapid breathing.
No one at the scene doubted the identification conclusion given by Ye Tian and his speculation.
Most of the employees of the Brave and Fearless Exploration Company at the scene knew Ye Tian very well and knew how sharp and accurate his vision for identifying antique artworks was!
When did Steven go overboard? It has never happened before, and this time will be no exception.
There is no doubt that this irregular-shaped dark wooden board is 100% a fragment of one of the most important sacred objects in Christianity, the True Cross.
After a long time, someone at the scene broke the silence.
"Stefano, go up to the ground immediately and inform our people that you must block the mayor of Larnaca and the bishop of the Greek Orthodox Church no matter what. You must not let them come down, even if you completely break up with them!
I immediately contacted the Vatican and the Pope to tell them what happened here and the importance of the fragments of the True Cross. Each of us knows that there must be no mistakes in our hands! ”
Bishop Kent said excitedly, assigning tasks to the other senior monk from the Vatican.
"Okay, Bishop Kent, I will go to the ground right now. Even if it costs my life, I will prevent the mayor of Larnaca and the Greek Orthodox bishop from coming down unless they step over my body!"
Stefano nodded decisively in response, with a sense of determination in his tone.
Then, the senior priest from the Vatican turned around and left the underground hall, returning to the ground. His steps were extremely firm as he walked!
Immediately afterwards, Bishop Kent also turned and walked towards the entrance of the hall, preparing to return to the ground floor to inform the Vatican of everything here and the news of the discovery of fragments of the True Cross.
Don’t even think about it. Once he makes this call, a magnitude 10 earthquake will occur throughout the Vatican and it will start operating at high speed, just to recover this fragment of the True Cross as soon as possible!
When the fragment of the True Cross is safely transported back to the Vatican, and then the news is announced to the public, the entire Western world will be completely shocked!
Seeing Bishop Kent leaving, Ye Tian immediately instructed Jason to lead two guys to follow him, lest Bishop Kent get too excited and accidentally fall into a trap, which would be extremely joyful but tragic!
Of course, this does not mean without supervision. Even if you are a partner, you still have to be cautious!
When Bishop Kent and Stefano all left, Ye Tian's face immediately burst into a bright smile, and a look of pride flashed in his eyes.
That’s it! With the Vatican resisting from the front, the Cypriots and those from the Greek Orthodox Church have no chance of entering this underground hall unless they want to cause a war!
Next, Ye Tian continued to tell everyone the story about the 'True Cross' and the story of the Crusaders holding the True Cross and fighting against the Arabs during the Crusades.
After his artistic reprocessing and deliberate rendering, these medieval knight legends made everyone at the scene excited and fascinated, and even wished they were in that era!
During this process, Ye Tian used the pinhole camera he carried to take pictures of the fragments of the True Cross lying quietly in the gold-inlaid red sandalwood box. He also took out his mobile phone to take several close-up shots.
How could David and other company employees let go of this God-given opportunity?
They all took out their mobile phones and took many photos of the fragments of the True Cross, recording this great moment that was destined to be remembered for their entire lives!
Photos were taken, but no one at the scene touched the Christian holy relic, or even thought of it!
Ye Tian is even more like this. He doesn’t want to cause trouble for himself.
A few minutes later, Bishop Kent returned here again with two Vatican priests.
The two people who followed him into the hall looked a little shaky in their steps, and their eyes were red and flashing with crazy colors, obviously due to excitement.
Naturally, the two senior Vatican monks started shouting loudly, and their eyes filled with excitement.
After finally waiting for their emotions to stabilize, Bishop Kent led them to carefully pick up the fragment of the True Cross and take out the parchment underneath.
Subsequently, the contents on the parchment were deciphered.
The content recorded on that piece of parchment is almost exactly the same as the analysis Ye Tian just made, only more detailed!
At this point, Bishop Kent and the others dared to be truly sure.
This scarred dark wood board contained in a gold-inlaid rosewood box is a fragment of one of Christianity's most important sacred objects, the True Cross!
When this was confirmed, the three senior Vatican monks at the scene once again burst into tears of excitement, each one yelling like three lunatics!
After his emotions calmed down a bit, Bishop Kent immediately took out his mobile phone and took many close-up shots of the fragments of the True Cross and the extremely important piece of parchment, and then sent them to the Vatican and the Pope!
Taking this opportunity, Ye Tian also took many close-up shots of these two priceless treasures. This is the highlight moment of the Brave and Intrepid Exploration Company, and of course it must be recorded!
At the same time, the situation outside the castle became increasingly tense, even to the point of becoming tense!
