Deep underground, inside the medieval Gothic palace that had been sleeping for more than seven hundred years, it was now brightly lit, as if it were daytime.
However, it is very quiet here. There is no figure or sound. There are only those boxes covered with moss, quietly stacked everywhere.
Suddenly, the half-opened stone door at the entrance of the palace opened again, and a group of people walked from the secret passage outside and entered this magnificent underground palace.
The person walking at the front was Ye Tian. He was still wearing a full set of protective clothing, but he did not wear a gas mask, only a special mask.
Following him into this secret passage were several senior Vatican priests led by Bishop Kent, seven or eight employees of the Brave and Intrepid Exploration Company led by Jason, and some special guests.
They are Prince William representing the British royal family, the Minister of Culture representing the British government, and two small live broadcast teams from British Sky TV and American NBC TV.
The two live broadcast teams each have only two people, a reporter responsible for reporting and a photographer responsible for shooting, and the two cameras are always on for live broadcast.
Without exception, these newcomers still had expressions of shock and even fear on their faces. The secret passage they had just walked through had left such a deep impression on them!
Even though Ye Tian has already eliminated most of the traps and asked his security personnel to put strong steel plates on all traps, all hidden dangers have been eliminated.
If not, how could they have passed through the dangerous secret passage so easily, let alone enter the underground palace at the same time.
The shock brought by the dangerous secret passage has not dissipated, and an even more shocking scene has appeared in front of these guys.
As soon as they entered this underground palace, these newcomers were completely stunned by everything that appeared in front of them, and they all froze on the spot with their mouths open.
Immediately afterwards, there was a series of exclamations in the underground palace, almost crazy.
“Oh my God! This place is so majestic, it’s simply a miracle. How did the Knights Templar build this underground palace during the Middle Ages? And it was hidden from everyone’s eyes and ears!”
“Look at those moss-covered boxes. There are dozens or hundreds of them. Is it possible that those boxes are filled with gold, silver, treasures and antiques? What a huge treasure it is, what a huge treasure. What a fortune! ”
Not only the guys who entered the underground palace, but also the Queen of England, the Pope, and everyone else in the temple inside the Temple Church were completely stunned by the pictures that appeared on the TV screen.
The eyes of some British people instantly turned red, and they immediately held their heads and screamed, including the British Prime Minister.
On countless live broadcasts around the world, people fell into a sluggish state. Then, as if they were electrocuted, they jumped up from the sofa and screamed crazily.
It was only then that people truly realized how huge and amazing the Templar treasure hidden beneath the Temple Church was, enough to shock the entire world.
At the same time, people also instantly thought of how much wealth that **** Steven had obtained. He was so lucky that he would definitely be envied to death!
At this time, Ye Tian’s mind was very clear and running at high speed, thinking about the possible situations he might encounter next and how to deal with them.
When the exclamations on the scene subsided, Ye Tian gently clapped his hands, waking up everyone present, and then said loudly with a smile:
“Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to this underground palace. This is the treasure hidden by the Knights Templar more than seven hundred years ago and one of the most famous treasures in the world.
Although this Templar treasure is very huge and extremely amazing, according to my estimation, this is not the entire Knights Templar treasure, but only a part of the famous treasure.”
Before the words were spoken, the scene and countless live broadcasts were already boiling again.
“What? Isn’t this all the treasure of the Knights Templar? How huge is the treasure of the Knights Templar? It’s too amazing!”
“Is it true? Steven is not talking nonsense, is he? Did the Knights Templar sack the entire medieval Europe?”
Just when people were exclaiming, Ye Tian’s clear voice came again.
“Let’s not talk about this topic for now. The purpose of our coming down this time is very clear, which is to move a few boxes that I think are very important to the Temple Church, and then ask the Pope and Her Majesty the Queen to open them in person.
At that time, each of you, and every audience in front of the countless live broadcasts, will see with your own eyes the items packed in those boxes. I am sure that it will definitely be a great moment that shocks the whole world.
After opening those boxes and publicly displaying the items contained in them, the Pope and Her Majesty the Queen will leave the Temple Church, and subsequent cleanup operations will begin in full swing. I believe there will be many surprises.
This underground palace built in the Middle Ages has been thoroughly inspected by me. All traps have been removed and there is no danger. You can enter with confidence. Okay, please come with me.”
With that said, Ye Tian stepped out and walked straight into the depths of the underground palace.
The others immediately followed, looking at everything around them with bright eyes, full of curiosity and expectation, and their eyes were almost exhausted.
In the blink of an eye, Ye Tian has arrived in the center of the hall of this underground palace. There is an altar about one and a half meters high, relying on a marble pillar as thick as a human arm.
Above the altar, there is a wooden box with a length, width and height of about 40 centimeters. It is covered with moss, hiding the true appearance of the box.
Behind the box, on the left and right sides, there was a three-branch candlestick that was also covered with moss. It was about fifty centimeters high. It was made of an unknown material and stood there quietly.
Between the two three-branch candlesticks, there is a crucifixion cross, about 60 centimeters high, hanging on the marble pillar behind. The cross is also covered with moss, and the texture cannot be clearly seen.
Judging from the situation on the altar and the atmosphere created by the three-branched candlesticks and crosses, anyone could immediately tell that the contents of the box on the altar were absolutely extraordinary.
When he came to the altar, Ye Tian immediately stopped and looked at the box on the altar.
Soon, the rest of the people came here and looked at the altar, as well as the boxes and crosses on the altar.
At the same time, the Queen of England and the Pope on the ground, as well as everyone on the live broadcast side, also saw the altar and everything on it.
After everyone arrived and admired it for a while, Ye Tian then said with a smile:
“Bishop Kent, this is one of the altars I am talking about. Judging from the form and atmosphere of this altar, the things in the box on the altar must be of great importance. It is very likely that they are some kind of Christian items.
Because of my identity as an atheist, for the sake of caution, I did not touch everything on this altar. I leave the work of opening the box, cleaning the box, candlesticks, and cross to you.
You must be careful when cleaning the boxes, candlesticks, and moss on the cross. These things have been sleeping deep underground for more than seven hundred years. No one knows their current condition! ”
“Okay, Steven, don’t worry, leave it to us. We will be extremely careful and will never cause any damage to these ancient antiques”
Bishop Kent nodded in response, his tone was decisive, and his eyes were full of expectation.
Immediately afterwards, Bishop Kent took out a piece of white soft cloth that he carried with him, stepped forward with another senior Vatican monk, and began to clean the things on the altar.
The two of them had their own division of labor. Bishop Kent wiped the box on the altar, and the other senior monk was responsible for wiping the two three-branch candlesticks and the cross behind them.
As they moved, a piece of moss on the box and the moss on the bottom of a candlestick were gently wiped away, and a dazzling golden light flashed in front of everyone’s eyes at the same time.
“Wow! This is a gold candlestick with exquisite patterns engraved on it”
The senior monk who was wiping the candlestick immediately exclaimed, his tone full of surprise.
Following his voice, everyone’s eyes were drawn to the three-branched golden candlestick.
However, Ye Tian stared closely at the box under Bishop Kent’s hand, and a look of surprise quickly appeared on his face.
Of course, this is a performance for everyone at the scene and for all the viewers on the live broadcast.
After being wiped by Bishop Kent, the body of the box was finally revealed.
It can be seen that the box is made of a kind of purple-brown wood. The surface is shiny and the original wood grain is very beautiful.
Although it has gone through a long history of seven or eight hundred years and is in such a cold and humid environment, the surface of the box remains as new as if it had just been made.
After glancing at the box, Ye Tian immediately pretended to be excited and said:
“Awesome! This box is made of African rosewood. It is not only anti-corrosion and moth-proof, but also very strong. In other words, the things stored in this box are likely to be intact as before”
Hearing his words, Bishop Kent’s face quickly showed a look of ecstasy, and the movement of wiping the moss under his hands suddenly became faster.
Soon, the three items on the altar were cleared out, revealing their true colors and blooming brilliantly again.
The box placed in the center of the altar is made entirely of African rosewood. The locks on the front and all other metal parts are made of gold, which is dazzling.
Each side of this rosewood box is engraved with exquisite patterns. The top of the box is engraved with a horse cross, and below the cross is the emblem of the Knights Templar with two people and one horse.
The two three-branch candlesticks and cross behind the box are all made of gold, engraved with exquisite patterns, and shine brightly under the light.
Except for the inherent value of gold, the craftsmanship of these three gold products is very high, and they are obviously made by famous artists. Each one is a valuable antique cultural relic.
After Kent and the others finished the cleaning work and stood in front of the altar, pretending to be intoxicated and admiring it for a moment, Ye Tian then said with a smile:
“Guys, this altar has been cleared successfully. Let’s go to the next altar. I believe it will be another huge surprise”
With that said, Ye Tian stepped out and walked towards the next altar a few meters away.
Others who were awakened by his words immediately followed, and everyone was in high spirits.
