Chapter 1932 Another Major Discovery

"This is a Celtic gold coin. It was minted around the second century BC. At that time, the Celts were still in the barbaric era. Although the force was quite powerful, they did not break away from the habits of the barbarians.

In that era, it was very rare for the Celts to mint such gold coins. In the antique art market, such Celtic gold coins are extremely rare, and each one is very valuable.”

Ye Tian held a simple gold coin in his hand, and while admiring it over and over, he introduced it to Prince William and David.

On the ground in front of him was a small black walnut box filled with various gold and silver coins, most of which were popular in the British Isles around AD.

Some of them come from Ireland, some from England, some from Scotland, and there are also gold and silver coins minted during the Roman occupation. Each gold and silver coin is very rare and valuable.

After introducing the Celtic gold coin in his hand, Ye Tian threw it back into the box, picked up another ancient Roman gold coin, and prepared to continue the introduction.

At this moment, the voice of a company employee suddenly came over and reached everyone's ears.

"Steven, come and take a look. There are two boxes of documents and a few ancient books. All the paper seems to be parchment, and the condition of preservation is not bad."

Hearing this, Ye Tian immediately threw the ancient Roman gold coins he had just picked up back into the box, then stood up and said to Prince William and David:

"Gentlemen, let's go and have a look. Compared with gold and silver treasures and antique relics, various documents handed down from ancient times are more valuable, and it may be another huge surprise."

After saying that, Ye Tian made a gesture of please, and then took the lead to step out, walking towards the company employee not far away.

The rest of the people followed closely, and then followed, everyone was excited and full of expectations.

In a blink of an eye, they had arrived in front of the exploration team and looked at the two boxes placed on a stone platform.

These are two cherry wooden boxes, less than one meter long, about fifty centimeters wide, and about fifty centimeters high.

Inside these two wooden boxes, there are several layers of moisture-proof oiled paper, which are used to wrap the documents and ancient books contained in the boxes, so as to prevent moisture and moth.

One of the boxes was full of papers, all of which were bound, one by one, a lot!

It's just that due to the long time and the cold and humid environment here, the covers of these documents have turned yellow, and some handwriting has been blurred.

Another box was filled with various ancient books.

On the covers of the top few ancient books of the box, Latin was written. Due to time, some of the handwriting could no longer be seen clearly, and the covers of three of the ancient books were still somewhat damaged.

As the company employee said, these documents and ancient books handed down from the Middle Ages are all made of parchment.

If not, their state of preservation would not be so good, and they might have been rotted already.

Taking a quick glance at the documents and ancient books contained in the two boxes, Ye Tian immediately pointed to one of the boxes and said:

"Obviously, the documents contained in this box, like those previously discovered, record matters related to the Knights Templar, and the Maltese cross on the surface of the documents is the best proof.

In addition, the box of ancient books,

I don’t know the specific content, but unfortunately I don’t understand Latin, so I can’t read these ancient books, Bishop of Kent, I will leave the identification of these ancient books to you, and I will identify these documents.”

"Okay, Steven, I'm here to identify these ancient books, and I hope there will be surprising discoveries"

The Bishop of Kent nodded in response, then picked up an ancient book from the box, and carefully flipped through it.

Ye Tian picked up a bound document, gently opened it, and began to check the contents recorded in the document.

The document in his hand is full of content recorded in English. Although the grammar is slightly different from modern English, it does not affect reading.

Ye Tian feigned excitement and exclaimed after only glancing at the content recorded in the document.

"Wow! It's about something that happened during the Last Crusade, and it's closely related to the Knights Templar, and it starts with the siege of Antioch.

If all the documents in this box are the same, then this must be the most detailed material for the study of medieval history, and its value is absolutely inestimable, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a priceless treasure.”

Before his words fell, Bishop Kent's excited voice sounded.

"My God! This is the collection of the kings of the Kingdom of Jerusalem. With the fall of Jerusalem in 1187, everyone thought that these precious collections had been destroyed by the war and burned.

But who would have imagined that these priceless ancient books were brought to London by the Knights Templar and hidden in this underground palace, until today they are not seen again, what a miracle! "

As he said that, the Bishop of Kent showed everyone the first page of the ancient book in his hand. On the lower right corner of the parchment was printed the emblem of the Kingdom of Jerusalem. Although it was a little blurry, it was not difficult to recognize.

Hearing the words of Ye Tian and the Bishop of Kent, and seeing the Maltese cross and the badge of the Kingdom of Jerusalem, everyone at the scene couldn't help being stunned and stunned.

It's such an important discovery, it's too amazing!

It took only a moment for everyone to wake up, and there was a sound of exclamation at the scene.

Immediately afterwards, the British Minister of Culture stared at a pair of blood-red eyes, and said in a tone of prayer:

"Steven, Bishop of Kent, can you let me see these historical documents and ancient books, if these documents and ancient books are really as you said, then they are absolutely priceless.

By studying these precious historical documents and materials, we can learn about the history during the Crusades and learn a lot about the Kingdom of Jerusalem.”

"No problem, Mr. Minister, you can take a look at these historical documents and the collections of the Kingdom of Jerusalem, but for confidentiality reasons, you can only look at them roughly, and you cannot read them carefully. I believe you can understand."

Ye Tian smiled and nodded, agreeing to the request of the British Minister of Culture, but with some reservations.

After speaking, he closed the document in his hand and handed it to the British Minister of Culture.

After taking over the document, the British Minister of Culture carefully opened it as if holding his own eyeballs, and began to read the contents recorded inside.

In less than twenty seconds, the British guy raised his head to look at Ye Tian, ​​and said excitedly:

"That's right, what is recorded in this historical document is indeed the famous battle during the Last Crusade, the Siege of Antioch, which marked the beginning of the Last Crusade.

Moreover, these contents are historical facts recorded from the perspective of the Templars who participated in the war. They are very detailed and highly reliable. They are the most direct materials for studying that period of history, and they have never been seen before.

There is no doubt that these historical documents are truly priceless treasures, and their value is immeasurable. Steven, I wonder what price we need to pay to leave these precious historical documents? "

Following the words of the British Minister of Culture, everyone at the scene looked at Ye Tian, ​​looking forward to his answer.

Without a moment's hesitation, Ye Tian immediately gave the answer in a firm and unquestionable tone.

"What price do you need to pay? It's very simple, exchange those scrolls and scriptures from the Dunhuang Library Cave, on the basis of market value, fair trade, there is no other way"

Hearing this, Prince William and the British Minister of Culture immediately looked at each other, and they both saw a trace of helplessness in each other's eyes.

Obviously, this time he must be ransacked by Steven, an extremely greedy bastard, and he didn't run away at all!

...

Soon, hours passed.

As night falls, the lights come on.

London, an ancient city, shows people a completely different side from the daytime, with flashing neon lights and luxurious life, which has a different taste and is more charming.

After nightfall, the Temple Church is brightly lit, as if it were daytime, and the surroundings of the church are still crowded and lively, even though London at night is more cold and humid, which is uncomfortable.

Compared with the daytime, the number of media reporters and onlookers gathered around the church not only did not decrease, but increased a lot, enclosing the inner and outer three floors of the temple church.

In addition to many media reporters and ordinary people watching the excitement, there were also many people dressed as monks around the church, both men and women, and everyone's expression was very excited, even a little fanatical.

These people dressed as monks come from churches and monasteries in different parts of London and even in different parts of the British Isles. They are a group of monks and nuns.

Some of them, even monks and nuns from all over Europe, each of them is a very devout believer.

The reason why they came to London and the Temple Church was very simple, that is, they came for the Christian holy relics that turned out to be out of nowhere.

When people saw these monks or nuns, they usually nodded very politely, and made a way for these monks and nuns to enter the place closest to the temple church.

Even those media reporters who are always the boss and second child have to respectfully give up their positions and stand behind these monks and nuns honestly, otherwise they will definitely become the target of public criticism!

These monks and nuns came to the edge of the cordon and stood still. Without exception, they would kneel on one knee towards the temple church, lightly draw the cross on their chests, pray in a low voice, and behaved very piously.

After praying, they just stood up and looked at the Temple Church excitedly, as if they had come here for a pilgrimage.

It didn't take long for these monks and nuns to occupy the edges of every cordon around the Temple Church.

All of a sudden, it seemed that monks and nuns from the British Isles and even all of Europe had gathered here. Looking around, the scene was spectacular!

Compared with the daytime, the security force around the Temple Church has also been strengthened a lot. There are three steps, one post and five steps, and there are heavily armed and highly alert London police and British soldiers everywhere.

The situation inside the church is the same. Many armed security personnel under Ye Tian and a large number of members of the Swiss Guard from the Vatican have guarded the Temple Church as solidly as possible, and no flies can fly in.
