Chapter 1906 The Confession Cell

Not long after David and Jason entered the basement next door, Ye Tian's slightly excited voice came from the intercom.

"Jason, you bring a pulse metal detector to the 'confession cell', David, Bishop of Kent, you also come here, I found something special in the 'confession cell', it is worth studying carefully"

Hearing his words, everyone's eyes lit up, and they suddenly became excited.

Could it be that amazing fellow Steven discovered the Templar treasure? If so, that would be awesome.

"Okay, Steven, we'll be right over"

As he said that, the boy Jason stepped out and walked quickly towards the basement door with a pulse metal detector, looking eager.

The same goes for David and the Bishop of Kent, who followed immediately.

In the blink of an eye, they had arrived at the 'confession cell' and joined Ye Tian.

At this time, Ye Tian was squatting in the center of the confession cell, carefully studying the marble floor under his feet.

Seeing this scene, David immediately asked curiously:

"Steven, the special things you are talking about are these marble floors. What's so special about them?"

With that said, David and the others looked at the few floors in the center of the cell, their eyes full of doubts.

In their eyes, those marble floors seemed to be no different from other floors around them, and there was nothing special about them.

Ye Tian looked up at them, then smiled and explained:

"When the Temple Church was built in the late twelfth century, it was the time when the Knights Templar were at their strongest. They imitated the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem and the Temple of the Holy Rock Dome, and built the Temple Church at no expense.

During the construction process, the Knights Templar used a large amount of Purbeck marble collected from Dorset in southern England without restriction to build this England headquarters, which can be called very extravagant.

The underground secret room of the Saint Anna Chapel and several other basements that we have explored before, without exception, the ceilings, walls, floors, etc. are all made of Purbeck marble.

This confessional cell was the same, most of it was Pulbeck marble, but the floors in the center of the cell,

But it is different from Purbeck marble, you can take a closer look.”

Before the words were finished, David and the Bishop of Kent squatted down and began to look at the several thick and ancient marble floors in the center of the cell with great interest.

"It can be seen that the patterns engraved on these floors and the mysterious symbols unique to the Knights Templar are no different from other floors around them, and they should have been placed here at the same time.

However, if you look carefully at the textures and colors of these marbles themselves, and compare them with other marble floors around you, you will find the difference."

Ye Tian pointed to the patterns, mysterious symbols, and lines on the marble slab, while explaining to David and Jason.

Under his explanation, David and the others quickly saw the special features of these marble floors.

"That's right, Steven, these marble floors are indeed different from the others. Their texture looks thicker, not as delicate as Purbeck marble, and the color is relatively darker."

The Bishop of Kent said excitedly, his eyes were as bright as searchlights.

As soon as his words fell, Ye Tian immediately waved his fist lightly, pretending to be excited and continued to say:

"Bingo! That's the difference between the two marble floors, that's what makes them special! If I'm not mistaken, these marbles are much thicker and heavier than the other marble floors.

It is speculated that they were probably collected and transported by members of the Knights Templar themselves, unlike those Pulbeck marbles, which were collected and processed by the royal craftsmen at that time, and then sent to transport by special personnel.

If this conjecture is true, why did the Knights Templar go to such lengths to do such a thing? Only one explanation seems to make sense, what secret are they trying to hide, and that secret is in this cell."

David and the Bishop of Kent nodded in unison. Everyone became more excited, and the eyes looking at the area in the center of the cell also became hotter.

After a short pause, Ye Tian continued to say:

"Speaking of which, I must introduce the origin of this 'confession cell'. Shortly after the completion of the Temple Church, 'Bachelor' Walter, the head of the Irish branch of the Knights Templar, was imprisoned here.

The reason for imprisoning the famous Templar was that he violated the order of the then head of the Knights Templar. After Walter was imprisoned, he did not receive any food and was said to have starved to death in this cell.

This cell was also named the "confession cell". After Walter died here, there were many ghost legends related to this place, which sounded very scary, so the Knights Templar closed the cell.

After the fall of the Knights Templar, King Henry VIII of England obtained the Temple Church from the Hospital Knights, and soon lent it to the Bar Association. Perhaps out of taboo, those lawyers rarely used this cell.

Now I have some doubts, whether the "Bachelor" Walter really starved to death here. Those widespread and creepy ghost legends may be deliberately made by the Knights Templar to deceive people.

In addition, there is another doubtful point. As a recidivist cell, the confession cell is too close to the vault, with a distance of less than ten meters. From these perspectives, there may be a huge secret hidden here."

"Wow! What will the secret be? It's so exciting"

"Could it be that the treasure of the Knights Templar is buried deep underground in the Confession Cell, right under our feet? If that's the case, it would be perfect"

There was a voice of emotion in the confession cell, from the mouths of David and the others.

Immediately afterwards, the Bishop of Kent couldn't wait to say:

"Steven, what are you waiting for? Let's quickly lift up these marble floors and find out what secrets are hidden underneath. Is it the treasure of the Knights Templar?"

Ye Tian turned his head to look at the cardinal, then shook his head slightly with a smile and said:

"Don't be impatient, Bishop of Kent, let's take it step by step. If the treasure of the Knights Templar is really hidden here, since it has been hidden for more than 700 years, it will not grow wings and fly in an instant.

Jason, scan this place with a pulse metal detector to see if there is any response, and then we will lift up these heavy marble floors and explore the secrets hidden deep underground."

With that said, Ye Tian pointed to the area in the center of the cell, and then took a few steps back.

"Okay, Steven, leave it to us"

Jason nodded in response, and after David and the Bishop of Kent retreated one after another, they immediately began scanning the ground with metal detectors.

Almost in the blink of an eye, the results were in.

There was a sudden melodious sound in the confession cell, which sounded like the sound of heaven.

"Great, Steven, you guessed it right. There are indeed metal objects buried deep underground here. The depth should be about three meters. I don't know if it is a treasure."

Jason said happily, almost dancing with excitement.

Before his words fell, Ye Tian and David had already stepped forward and looked at the corresponding data detected on the liquid crystal display.

After glancing at the detection data, Ye Tian immediately said firmly:

"As I expected, there is indeed a hidden secret here. From the data analysis of the detection, there are many metal objects under these marble floors, and the depth is about 3.5 meters.

I hope that's the Templar treasure we've been looking for, Jason, take a few guys up there, and take down the digging tools and simple lifting equipment we brought.

All protective equipment, strong lights, oxygen cylinders, cutting equipment, explosion-proof shields, etc., have also been taken down, and we will strive to complete the work and uncover this secret as soon as possible.

Once you go up to move the equipment, you will inevitably attract the attention of those British guys, media reporters, and many onlookers, and tell all the guys that everyone must keep it strictly confidential.

Before uncovering this secret and figuring out what is hidden in the deep underground, everything about this place must not be revealed, even if the inquirer is Prince William."

"Understood, Steven, we know the severity and will never leak any information"

Jason nodded firmly, then put down the pulse metal detector and walked out of the confession cell.

He had just left when Ye Tian picked up the walkie-talkie and said:

"Cole, Leonardo, you send a few more armed security personnel down to guard the entrances leading to the confession cell. Without my permission, no one else can be let in."

"Okay, Steven, we'll send someone down right away"

Cole responded first, followed by Leonardo's voice.

After finishing the arrangement quickly, Ye Tian squatted down again, continuing to observe those special marble floors.

After observing for a while, he took out a crowbar from the backpack next to him and tried to pry the marble floors.

It's a pity that the joints between those marble floors and other surrounding floors are very tight, there is not enough space to insert a crowbar, and the joints of the concrete grooves are very strong.

Seeing this situation, Ye Tian could only give up and wait for Jason and the others to carry the tools down.
