Chapter 2269 Continue to Explore
A few hours had passed, except for Jason and the others who came out to get some exploration tools, the door of the main church was always closed, and no news came from the church.
What was going on in the church, people outside knew nothing, and people could only guess with their own imagination.
But one thing is for sure, everyone knows that the joint exploration team must have found something in this ancient church, and it is very likely that they have found a treasure.
As for whether it is the famous treasure of the Knights Templar or a treasure buried by later generations, it is not known.
As time passed, the people gathered around the main church couldn't help but feel a little impatient and impatient to wait.
"I'm going! It's been more than three hours, why haven't Steven and his gang come out? I don't know what treasure they found, it took so long?"
"What's even more exasperating is that that guy, Steven, blocked the news so hard that no news was released. Isn't this tormenting everyone!"
The square was full of buzzing discussions, one after another, and there was a sense of impetuousness in the air.
In the church, Ye Tianzheng directed several company employees to backfill the big pit dug before, and it was almost finished.
The exploration of this church has also been completed. All the places in the church have been carefully explored, and no corner has been spared.
Except for the four boxes placed in front of the altar, in this church built in the middle and late twelfth century, everyone found nothing else, and no more treasures were found.
But today's gains are great enough, and more can't be asked for.
While speaking, the backfilling work behind the altar has been completed.
The sand and stones excavated from the three-meter-deep pit have been backfilled into the pit, and a little sand and soil from the outside can be brought in later to completely fill the pit.
Next, the altar and the ground can be restored to their original state.
These things are naturally done by the employees of the company under him, so Ye Tian doesn't have to take care of them anymore.
After basically completing the backfilling work, he came out from behind the altar, came to the front of the altar, and joined David and the bishop of Kent.
Then, he said to Jason who was standing next to him:
"Jason, outside the church, notify the Deputy Minister of Culture of Portugal, Barbosa, the mayor of Tomar, and others, and bring them into the church. Let them take a look at the antiques in these four boxes!"
"Got it, Steven"
Jason nodded in response, and then walked over to the church door.
Just as the kid walked away, Ye Tian picked up the walkie-talkie and said:
"Matisse, let the guys be vigilant. We will soon leave this church and go to the next location. This exploration operation has gained a lot. I don't want to see any accidents happen.
Inform Leonardo, let those guys from the Swiss Guard cooperate with you and do a good job of security, and don’t forget to inform the Portuguese police, after all, they are the law enforcement officers of this city.”
After the words fell, Matisse responded immediately.
"Got it, Steven"
Soon, the door of the church was opened, and a group of Portuguese, who had been waiting outside with stretched necks for more than three hours, finally entered the church under the leadership of Jason.
Three steps in parallel, the Portuguese quickly came to the front of the altar and looked at the four boxes placed on the ground.
Before he could stand firm, Barbosa couldn't wait to say:
"Steven, what are these four boxes containing? Is it the famous treasure of the Knights Templar?"
Ye Tian nodded lightly,
Not without a proud smile, he said:
"Yes, this is the treasure of the Knights Templar that has been passed down in Europe for more than seven hundred years. To be precise, it should be said to be part of the treasure of the Knights Templar, and it is only a small part.
As for what is contained in these four boxes? Best to see for yourself, I can say with absolute certainty that everything here is a valuable antique! "
As he said that, Ye Tian reached out and opened one of the boxes, and a dazzling golden light flashed in the church.
Unsurprisingly, the Portuguese who had just entered the church were completely stunned by the medieval Arabic-style gold products that appeared in front of them.
After the shock, there was an almost crazy exclamation.
In the blink of an eye, about fifteen minutes passed.
The people who were eagerly waiting in the square outside finally saw the door of the church fully opened, and saw Ye Tian and the others walking out of this ancient church.
At the same time, people also saw the four mottled boxes, which were carried by seven or eight employees of the Intrepid Exploration Company. Each box looked very heavy.
Seeing this scene, many spectators in the square, as well as reporters from major news media around the world, immediately became excited, and the whole square also boiled!
"I'll go! I really let this guy, Steven, find the treasure. I wonder if it's the treasure of the Knights Templar? What exactly are those four boxes containing? How much is it worth?"
"I'm sure that the things contained in those four boxes must be priceless, look at Barbosa and Father Ramirez, they are always staring at those four boxes, their red eyes are a bit scary!
In history, God knows how many people came to Tomar to find the treasure of the Knights Templar, but all of them failed. However, this guy Steven found the treasure so easily. God really favors him! "
Just when people were talking, Ye Tian and the others had already walked out of the main church and came to the square outside.
At this time, Matisse and the others had already made preparations, and quickly pulled up a line of defense to protect Ye Tian and the four boxes of priceless treasures.
The convoy had also driven over and stopped a few meters away, ready to pick up the joint exploration team to leave.
Seeing this situation, many media reporters who were stopped outside the cordon and waited for more than three hours would rather miss this opportunity!
They all shouted at the top of their voices, and began to ask loud questions from a long distance away.
"Steven, I'm a reporter from Portuguese National Television. What's in those four boxes? Is it the treasure of the Knights Templar? Can you show it to the public?"
"Good afternoon, Steven, I'm a reporter from The Washington Post. Can you tell me how you found these four boxes? What kind of treasures are they, and how much are they worth?"
Hearing the questions from these media reporters, Ye Tian immediately stopped and turned his head to look over, then smiled and said loudly:
"Ladies and gentlemen, friends from the media, needless to say, we did find a treasure in this ancient church built in the twelfth century, and we were pleasantly surprised.
But what is this treasure, the famous Templar treasure? What else is in the treasure, and how valuable is it? It is not convenient to tell everyone at the moment, and it needs to be kept secret!
Today's exploration operation is not over yet, and we will go to another place to continue exploring. After today's exploration operation is over, we will announce today's discovery in the hotel.
So please be patient, wait a few more hours, you will definitely get an explosive news, here I want to remind everyone, it is best to reserve the position of the headlines on the front page! "
After speaking, Ye Tian walked towards the convoy not far away, ignoring the media reporters who kept asking questions at the top of their voices.
Behind him, David, Bishop Kent and the others, as well as the employees of the Brave and the Fearless Exploration Company who were carrying the four boxes, followed up one after another.
Of course, there are the Portuguese like Father Ramirez and Barbosa.
In a blink of an eye, everyone got into the car, and the four boxes full of top-level antiques were also loaded into the two cars.
But the convoy did not start to leave immediately, but was waiting for the rest of the Braveless Exploration Company employees. After all, there was still a lot of exploration equipment to pack and load.
After entering the car and sitting down, Ye Tian immediately said through the wireless invisible earphone:
"Matisse, we are going to Santa Maria Church next, the importance of that church is far greater than this main church, let the guys get ready"
"Understood, Steven, some of the guys have already rushed to the Church of Santa Maria, and have basically figured out the situation there, and have not found any hidden dangers for the time being."
Mattis responded, briefing the situation.
About five minutes later, after everyone and the exploration equipment got on the car, this huge joint exploration convoy started again and drove to another ancient church in this small city.
