Chapter 1918 The Golden Altar

Deep underground, the medieval gothic palace that had been sleeping for more than seven hundred years was already brightly lit, as if it were daytime.

However, it was very quiet here, without a single figure or sound, only those boxes covered with moss were quietly piled up everywhere.

Suddenly, the half-closed 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.

It was Ye Tian who walked in the front. He was still wearing a full set of protective clothing, but he didn't wear a gas mask. He only wore a special mask.

Those who followed him into this secret path included several senior Vatican priests headed by the Bishop of Kent, seven or eight employees of the Bravery 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 groups from British Sky TV and American NBC TV respectively.

There are only two people in each of the two live broadcast groups, a reporter in charge of reporting, and a cameraman in charge of filming, and the two cameras are always on, live broadcasting.

Without exception, these newcomers still had expressions of shock and even horror on their faces. The secret passage they just walked left a deep impression on them!

Even though Ye Tian had ruled out most of the traps already, and had his security personnel build solid steel plates on all the flap traps, eliminating all hidden dangers.

If not, how could they pass through the dangerous secret passage so easily, let alone enter this underground palace at the same time.

The shock brought by the dangerous secret passage has not yet dissipated, and an even more shocking scene has appeared in front of these guys.

As soon as they entered this underground palace, these guys who had just arrived were completely stunned by everything that appeared in front of them in an instant, and they all froze in place dumbfounded.

Immediately afterwards, there were exclamations one after another in the underground palace, almost crazy.

"Oh my god! This place is so magnificent, it is simply a miracle. How did the Knights Templar build this underground palace in the Middle Ages? And it has been hidden from everyone's eyes and ears!"

"Look at those moss-covered boxes. There are dozens or hundreds of them. Could it be that those boxes are filled with gold, silver, treasures and antique works of art? What a huge treasure, what a huge fortune. ah!"

Not only these guys who entered the underground palace,

The Queen of England, the Pope, and everyone else in the temple of the Temple Church were completely stunned by the pictures that appeared on the TV screen.

The eyes of some British guys turned red in an instant, and they hugged their heads and exclaimed, including the British Prime Minister.

On countless live broadcast terminals all over the world, people fell into a state of sluggishness, and then jumped up from the sofa like an electric shock, screaming crazily.

Until this time, people really realized how huge and amazing the treasure of the Knights Templar hidden under the Temple Church was, enough to cause a sensation in the whole world.

At the same time, people also instantly thought of what a huge amount of wealth that bastard Steven had acquired. He was so lucky that he would definitely be enviable to death!

At this time, Ye Tian's mind was very clear, and he was running at a high speed, thinking about what might happen next and how to deal with it.

Ye Tian patted his palms lightly when the exclamations on the scene subsided, waking up everyone present, and then said loudly with a smile:

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to this underground palace, which is the hidden treasure of the Knights Templar more than 700 years ago, and it is also one of the most famous treasures in the world.

Although this treasure of the Knights Templar is very large and extremely amazing, according to my estimation, it is not the whole treasure of the Knights Templar, but only a part of that famous treasure.”

Before the words fell, the scene and countless live broadcasts were boiling again.

"What? Isn't this all the treasures of the Knights Templar? How huge is the treasure of the Knights Templar? It's too amazing!"

"Really? Steven isn't talking nonsense, is he? Could it be that the Knights Templar looted the entire medieval Europe?"

Just when people were exclaiming, Ye Tianqing's clear voice came again.

"Let's not talk about this topic, we came down this time with a very clear purpose, which is to move a few boxes that I think are very important to the Temple Church, and then ask the Pope and His Majesty to open them personally.

At that time, each of you, and every audience in front of countless live broadcasts, will see the items packed in those boxes with your own eyes. I am sure that it will definitely be a great moment that will cause a sensation all over the world.

After the boxes are opened and the contents of the boxes are publicly displayed, the Pope and Her Majesty will leave the Temple Church. The follow-up clean-up operation will be fully launched, and I believe there will be many surprises to come.

This underground palace built in the Middle Ages has been thoroughly checked by me, all traps have been removed, there is no danger, everyone can enter with confidence, well, everyone, please come with me."

After saying that, Ye Tian stepped out, and walked to the depths of this underground palace in a hurry.

The others followed immediately, looking at everything around them with bright eyes, full of curiosity and anticipation, and they were almost running out of eyes.

In the blink of an eye, Ye Tian had come to the center of the hall of this underground palace, where there was an altar about 1.5 meters high, leaning on a marble pillar as thick as a human's arms.

Above this altar, there is a wooden box with a length, width, and height of about forty centimeters. It is covered with moss, covering up the original appearance of the box.

Behind the box, on the left and right sides, there is a three-branched candlestick that is also covered with moss. It is about 50 centimeters high, and it is made of unknown material, standing there quietly.

In the middle of the two three-branch candlesticks is a Crucifixion Cross, about 60 centimeters high, hanging on the marble pillar behind it. The cross is also covered with moss, and the texture is not clear.

Regarding the situation on the altar and the atmosphere created by those three-branched candlesticks and crosses, anyone can instantly see that the things in the box on the altar are absolutely extraordinary.

When he came to the altar, Ye Tian stopped immediately and looked at the box on the altar.

Soon, the rest of the people also came here, looking 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 end, also saw this altar and everything on it.

After everyone arrived and admired it for a while, Ye Tian smiled and said:

"Bishop of Kent, this is one of the altars I am talking about. Judging from the form and atmosphere of this altar, the things contained in the box on the altar must be very important, and it is very likely that it is a Christian sacred object.

Because of my identity as an atheist, for the sake of caution, I did not touch everything on this altar, open the box, clean the box, candlesticks, and the work of the cross, and leave it to you.

You must be careful when cleaning the boxes, candlesticks, and the moss on the cross. These things have been sleeping deep underground for more than seven hundred years. No one of us knows what the current state is! "

"Okay, Steven, don't worry and leave it to us. We will be extremely careful and will never cause any damage to these ancient antiques."

The Bishop of Kent nodded in response, his tone was firm, and his eyes were full of expectation.

Immediately afterwards, the Bishop of Kent took out a white soft cloth that he carried with him, stepped forward together with another senior Vatican monk, and began to clean up the things on the altar.

The two of them had their own division of labor. The bishop of Kent cleaned the box on the altar, and the other senior monk was responsible for cleaning the two three-branched candlesticks and the cross behind them.

With their actions, a piece of moss on the box and the moss on the bottom of a candlestick were gently wiped off, and a dazzling golden light flashed in front of everyone's eyes at the same time.

"Wow! It's a gold candlestick, and it's beautifully carved"

The senior monk who was wiping the candlestick exclaimed directly, his tone full of surprise.

Following his voice, everyone's eyes were drawn to the three-branched golden candlestick.

However, Ye Tian was staring at the box under the Bishop of Kent, 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 audience on the live broadcast.

After being wiped by the Bishop of Kent, the body of the box was finally exposed.

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 a long history of seven or eight hundred years and is in such a cold and humid environment, the surface of the box is as new as it has just been made.

Glancing at the box, Ye Tian immediately pretended to be excited and said:

"Great! This box is made of African red sandalwood. It is not only anti-corrosion and moth-proof, but also very strong. That is to say, the things stored in this box are likely to be intact."

Hearing his words, the Bishop of Kent's face quickly showed ecstasy, and the movement of wiping the moss under his hands suddenly became faster.

Soon, the three items on the altar were cleaned up, revealing their true colors, and shining brightly again.

The box placed in the center of the altar is made of African red sandalwood, and all the metal parts such as the front lock are made of gold, which is dazzling.

Each side of this rosewood box is engraved with exquisite patterns. On the top of the box is engraved a Maltese cross, and below the cross is a sign of the Knights Templar with two men and one horse.

The two three-branched candlesticks and the cross behind the box are all made of gold, engraved with exquisite patterns, shining brightly under the light.

In addition to the inherent value of gold, the production skills of these three gold products are very sophisticated, obviously from the hands of famous masters, and each of them is a valuable antique cultural relic.

After Kent and the others finished cleaning up and stood in front of the altar pretending to be intoxicated to admire it for a while, Ye Tian smiled and said:

"Guys, this altar has been successfully cleared, 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.

The others who were awakened by his words immediately followed, and everyone was very excited.
