Chapter 1913
There was another burst of excited cheers at the scene. Although the voice was not loud, it was full of enthusiasm.
After the cheers subsided, Ye Tianqing's clear voice came from the bottom of the pit again.
"Most of the traps in this secret passage have been removed by me, but there are still some very vicious flap traps, and the ground is extremely wet and slippery, so the secret passage is still full of dangers.
Next, I will make some arrangements, such as installing lights in the secret passage, etc., and then take everyone into the secret passage to explore the treasure of the Knights Templar that has been sleeping for more than 700 years.
To be on the safe side, and to add some trouble to those Brits who may break into this place at any time, I don't intend to immediately clear the ground of the secret passage, nor do I intend to mark the path to safely pass through the secret passage.
In other words, anyone who wants to successfully pass through the secret passage and enter the underground palace at the end of the secret passage must follow closely behind me, obey my command, and must not act without authorization.”
"Understood, Steven, this is indeed safer"
David and the Bishop of Kent agreed in unison, and they had no disagreement.
Afterwards, Ye Tian said to the pit mouth:
"Derek, Peter, come down with the wires and lamps, and enter the secret passage and the underground palace behind with me. Let's solve the lighting problem first."
"Okay, Steven, we'll be right down"
Derek and the others responded in unison and immediately took action.
Soon, the two guys took the equipment down to the bottom of the pit, followed Ye Tian, entered the secret passage one after another, and began to make arrangements.
At the same time, Prince William, who was staying in the Temple Church, also received a call from Buckingham Palace.
After hanging up the phone, the British prince's expression changed, it became extremely dignified, and there was also a hint of excitement.
Seeing his appearance, the other British guys next to him were very curious.
Fortunately, Prince William didn't try to make a fuss. He pondered for a while, and then whispered to the people around him:
"According to the news from Rome, the Pope's special plane has just taken off from Leonardo Da Vinci International Airport and is flying towards London. The Pope is on the special plane with a large number of heavily armed security personnel.
The pope's trip was very sudden,
No one was notified in advance. It was not until the special plane took off that the Vatican's diplomatic department notified Downing Street to make relevant parties ready to pick up the plane and arrange a convoy to meet it.
This kind of situation has never happened before, and it is very unusual. When No. 10 Downing Street received the news, they were almost dumbfounded. If they hadn't been notified by the Vatican's diplomatic department, they would have thought it was a prank."
Hearing this, many British guys at the scene were stunned for a while, but they quickly realized that everyone's face showed ecstasy.
Prince William glanced at these guys, then continued with a solemn expression:
"Obviously, this is most likely the work of that guy, Steven, and only that extremely cunning guy would play cards out of common sense and play such a trick that everyone didn't expect.
There is no doubt that Steven and the others must have made a major discovery, perhaps it is the treasure of the Knights Templar, and there are some legendary Christian relics in the treasure, so they invited the Pope to come to London to sit in charge.
It must be admitted that Steven's move is very clever. If the Pope came to sit in the city, out of respect and for the sake of international influence, we can only watch the treasure of the Knights Templar being divided between them.
But he seems to have forgotten that Rome is more than a thousand kilometers away, and it will take a lot of time for the Pope's special plane to fly to London. This is our opportunity, and we must try our best to figure out what is going on underground."
"Fack! This bastard Steven is too cunning. He is trying to hide the truth. He must not be allowed to succeed. We must know everything about this treasure."
The British Minister of Culture gritted his molars and said, with a greedy gleam in his eyes.
Afterwards, Prince William led the British guys to the entrance of the basement, preparing to negotiate with Cole and Leonardo to enter the basement as soon as possible.
At this time, Ye Tian had brought Derek and Peter through the secret passage smoothly, and entered the underground palace built in the middle ages at the end of the secret passage again.
The place they passed by was already brightly lit, as if it were daytime.
Just after passing through the stone gate and entering the underground palace behind the stone gate, Derek and Peter froze in place, dumbfounded.
The first thing that caught their eyes was several huge stone balls inside the stone gate. Each stone ball was more than one meter in diameter and looked extremely heavy.
The first moment they saw those stone balls, they were all stunned, and a chill immediately rushed from the soles of their feet to their foreheads, making both of them terrified.
Immediately afterwards, they were completely shocked by the underground palace in front of them that had been sleeping in darkness for more than seven hundred years, and they lost the ability to speak for a while.
What appeared in front of their eyes was a magnificent Gothic palace, but it was deep underground, and they were inside the palace, unable to see the iconic spire of Gothic architecture.
This underground palace has a huge area of two to three hundred square meters. Rows of thick and thin marble columns stand on the granite floor, supporting the four or five meter high vault above.
On the ground of this Gothic palace, as well as those stone platforms about 1.5 meters high, and those special altars, there are many boxes of different sizes, dozens or hundreds of them.
The only pity is that everything here is covered with a layer of slippery moss and green, which looks very uncomfortable.
And the moss covered up many things, such as the walls and marble columns, the symbols and patterns engraved on the floor, and the text messages on those boxes.
Of course, today, more than 700 years later, the information left on those boxes by the Knights Templar probably no longer exists, having been decomposed by various microorganisms.
Even those boxes themselves, it has to be said that it is a small miracle that they can be kept until now.
Ye Tian looked at the two dull-faced subordinates, then smiled and said:
"Derek, Peter, wake up and start working. It's not time to appreciate it yet. After we finish the arrangement, there will be plenty of time to slowly appreciate everything here.
I have checked this underground palace and disarmed all traps. You can work with peace of mind, but you still have to be careful not to get too close to those boxes.
Those boxes have been stored here for more than 700 years, and the wooden ones are probably on the verge of falling apart. Once you hit them, it is likely to cause some unnecessary losses! "
Following his words, Derek and Peter woke up suddenly.
The next moment, there was an exclamation in the underground palace.
"Wow! This place is so grand, it's unbelievable!"
"Compared to the underground palace in Larnaca and the Gothic palace in the deep underground of Arjni Castle, this underground palace looks more magnificent and amazing!"
Hearing the exclamation of these two guys, Ye Tian couldn't help laughing softly.
Fortunately, these two guys have seen many big scenes and personally participated in several treasure hunting operations that caused a sensation in the world, so they quickly controlled their emotions and stopped yelling.
Next, Ye Tian gave these two guys a few more instructions, and then asked them to start working, wiring and installing lighting fixtures.
Just as Derek and the others walked away, Cole's voice suddenly came from the intercom.
"Steven, Prince William and the other Brits had already learned about the actions of the Vatican, and guessed that we must have made a major discovery, so they took immediate action.
They have gathered at the entrance of the basement now, strongly requesting us to report the progress of the exploration operation and the results of our exploration, and hope to enter the basement for on-site supervision.
In particular, Prince William and the Minister of Culture of the United Kingdom, representing the British royal family and the British government, strongly demanded to enter the exploration site. How to deal with these British guys? "
Hearing Cole's report, Ye Tian didn't respond immediately.
He stretched out his hand to check the time first, then pondered for a moment, then picked up the walkie-talkie and said:
"It seems that the Brits are not all idiots, they react very quickly, since they have discovered the actions of the Vatican and guessed that we must have made a major discovery, then it is only normal to have such a reaction.
We also have to adjust our strategy and deal with these British guys in a different way. It takes only two hours to fly from Rome to London by plane, and we can try our best to delay it for two hours.
Tell those Brits, we did find something, found a secret passage in the confessional cell that leads deep underground, and did a preliminary exploration with drones, and found something.
However, this secret passage leading to the depths of the underground is full of dangers, and there are many sinister and treacherous traps. Before these traps are completely dispelled and the safety is confirmed, others refuse to enter.
This is a good excuse to use, Prince William is second in line to the king of England, even if he is willing to risk himself, other Brits will not let him put himself in danger.
First use this excuse to delay for dozens of minutes, then you use the excuse that I am in a secret passage and I am disarming the trap of the agency, and then delay for another half an hour, and then it is time for the Vatican to take action.
When the Pope's special plane lands at London's Heathrow Airport, Prince William and the British Minister of Culture can be released. Only the two of them can be released, and the rest will be left to us.
I believe that when Prince William and the British Minister of Culture pass our pass and enter the secret passage leading to the underground palace, the Pope's motorcade will also arrive at the Temple Church, and it will be too late by then.
One thing must be remembered, try not to conflict with those British guys, especially Prince William, whose status is too special, so you must be careful. This is the UK after all, and it is the base of those British guys.
Let those guys from the Vatican take the lead in everything, and you can just fool around from the sidelines. If those British guys don’t accept this trick and are going to force their way in, you can notify me immediately, and I have my own countermeasures.”
After the words fell, Cole immediately responded with a low smile:
"Hahaha, this is so interesting, I like this job very much, just wait and see the good show, we must find a way to delay until the Pope arrives"
Next, Ye Tian told Cole a few more words, and then ended the call.
Afterwards, everyone performed their duties and got busy.
Ye Tian and the others continued to explore the treasure. Cole and Leonardo, as well as the Bishop of Kent and David who returned to the ground in time, gathered together and began to fool those aggressive British guys, trying their best to delay time.
