Chapter 3044

Nothing happened overnight, and it was a new day in a blink of an eye.

After getting up and washing up, Ye Tian came to the living room and began to check the video data sent back by Derek and the others.

After the Israeli exploration team took over the work of cleaning up and transporting the treasures of Noah's Ark, they immediately started their operations without any pause.

Following the rules set by their ancestors, they only sent archaeological team members from Beta Israel to enter the underground cave to clean up this part of Solomon's treasure hidden in the underground cave.

Compared with the previous clean-up and transfer operations, this Israeli archaeological team is more careful in explaining that it is completely cleaning up with a toothbrush, lest it will cause even a little loss!

Fortunately, they are well manned and can work continuously.

They have a total of ten Beta Israeli archaeological team members, as well as several Beta Israeli historians and archaeologists, divided into three groups!

The three groups of archaeologists took turns entering the underground cave to clean up the part of Solomon's treasure hidden in the cave.

For more than ten hours in a row, they never stopped.

After a night of cleaning, the Israelites finally cleared out the area where the golden statue of King David was located.

This part of Solomon's treasure, including the golden statue of King David, as long as it can be moved, was hoisted to the ground by the Israelites and placed in the Noah's Ark Church.

Every time something is produced, Derek and others who are guarding in the church will step forward to take a video and register it!

They not only photographed the process of clearing this part of Solomon's treasure and everything that was transported to the ground, but also put these things into portable safes, set passwords and sealed them.

When this part of Solomon's treasure is completely cleaned up, Ye Tian will rush to the Fasilidas castle group again to appraise and evaluate all the things from this shocking treasure.

After completing the evaluation, he will pick out some of the most valuable and non-religious top antiques and artworks, collect them, and display them in his private museum later.

The remaining antiques and works of art, as well as all the gold and silver treasures, including the gold statues of the Three Kings of Israel, are treated in another way.

He will hold a small auction in the Fasilidas castle complex, auction off all the treasures, fair competition, the highest bidder wins!

Those who are eligible to participate in this small auction,

There are only four parties, or four countries.

They are the Ethiopian government, the Israeli government, the Vatican government, and the US government.

In fact, all four countries have sent official delegations, are on their way to Gondar, and have even arrived in Gondar.

In these four delegations, there are representatives of many top museums, religious circles, top collectors and super-rich people in their respective countries, as well as their art dealers, as well as representatives of various institutions and organizations.

Although the discovery of this part of Solomon's treasure was strictly kept secret, some people with great powers still found out the news through some channels.

Because of this, these guys rushed to Gondar to participate in this small auction.

Especially those top museum curators, top collectors and super rich who are very familiar with Ye Tian, ​​directly called him on his mobile phone, begging for a place to participate in this private auction!

Ye Tian was happy to be a favor, anyway, he didn't intend to collect those things with strong religious color, and he didn't want to cause trouble, so he agreed to the request of those old friends.

While he was viewing the video of cleaning and transporting this part of Solomon's treasure, Joshua and the Bishop of Kent visited together and walked into this luxurious suite.

It can be seen that the two old friends are very excited, and their eyes are shining.

The difference was that Joshua's eyes were red and bloodshot, showing his fatigue.

Obviously, this senior Israeli government official stayed up all night last night and was always in a state of excitement.

The bishop of Kent is in a slightly better condition. He stayed in the hotel last night.

Seeing them coming in, Ye Tian immediately closed his laptop, smiled and said:

"Good morning, Bishop of Kent, Joshua, I didn't expect you to come here so early. How is the cleanup of Noah's Ark treasure going? Is it going well?"

As he spoke, he welcomed the two old friends into the living room and sat down on the sofa.

After a few polite greetings, Joshua excitedly got to the point.

"The treasure cleaning operation went very smoothly. After more than ten hours of cleaning and transshipment, the part of the treasure in the area where the King David's golden statue is located has all been transported to the ground without any problems.

Now we are preparing to enter the area where the golden statue of King Solomon is located, that is, the deepest part of the underground cave. As you know, the terrain there is very complicated and it will take a lot of time.

Especially the slope at a forty-five-degree angle is not only very slippery, but also has many stalagmites and stalactites, as well as several large or small cracks. That area is the most troublesome and you must be careful.

In view of the importance and particularity of this underground cave, we want to protect the original appearance of the cave as much as possible, especially for Beta Israelites, this cave deep underground is a holy place! "

Hearing this, Ye Tian nodded immediately.

"If you want to preserve this underground cave intact without any damage, such as cutting the protruding stalagmites and stalactites on the slope, it will indeed take a lot of time.

Well, there is plenty of time, you can slowly clean up this part of Solomon's treasure, I hope you can complete the cleanup before we end this cooperation with the Ethiopian government"

"It should be no problem. Everyone is full of enthusiasm and energy now. It will probably take a few days to clear this part of Solomon's treasure!"

Joshua continued, beaming.

After the words fell, the Bishop of Kent who was sitting on the side continued to say:

"Steven, when will you sign a joint exploration agreement with the Ethiopian government? Will the Ethiopian side accept your conditions?"

Ye Tian looked at the time, then shook his head with a smile.

"The Ethiopian government has no choice but to accept our offer and work with us to jointly explore this amazing treasure hidden by the Italians!

The reason is simple, because the treasure map is in my hands, and they don't know where this amazing treasure is hidden near Gondar, so they have no choice! "

Hearing this, both Joshua and the Bishop of Kent nodded.

Both of them looked enviously, and looked at the portable safe next to them.

At this moment, they wished they could take the safe directly, open it, take out the priceless sheepskin scroll inside, and keep it for themselves.

However, they can only think about it!

After a short pause, Ye Tian continued to say:

"We made an appointment with the Ethiopians to hold talks at ten o'clock and then sign a joint exploration agreement. Judging from the current situation, it is definitely impossible to hold talks at ten o'clock.

You also know that the Ethiopians are very inefficient and procrastinated, and they have not yet determined the composition of the exploration team, so we can only wait."

"That's true. The efficiency of Ethiopians is too low. I have seen it these days."

Joshua nodded and said, and the Bishop of Kent nodded in empathy.

Ye Tian smiled.

"After they determine the list of the exploration team, we will conduct a corresponding investigation to determine the identity and background of each member of the exploration team before negotiating with them.

We have already sent the proposed cooperation agreement to the Ethiopians for them to study and discuss. If you guess correctly, they will definitely make a fuss about some terms!

In this way, it will take a lot of time. If the talks can be held today and the joint exploration agreement signed, it will be considered a success, but I dare not hold out too much hope!

It's still early, and you look very tired. I suggest you go back to your room and take a good rest. I'll let you know when the representatives of the Ethiopian government come over! "

"That's fine, I'm really tired and need to rest urgently, it's impossible to wait here for the Ethiopian all the time!"

Joshua nodded in response.

The Bishop of Kent, who was sitting next to him, also nodded.

"We are just a third party, acting as a witness and supervisor. When the two of you have negotiated the terms of cooperation and are ready to sign the agreement, just ask us to come over and sign!"

"I will send someone to send the relevant documents to the lawyers of both of you later, and let them study it, so you can rest and find a lawyer to understand the situation!"

Ye Tian smiled and nodded.

After chatting for a while, Joshua and the Bishop of Kent got up to say goodbye, went back to their respective rooms, and went to rest.

After they left, Ye Tian called David and Mathis over through the wireless invisible headset.

After sitting down on the sofa, he immediately asked:

"What's going on out there? Mattis, those guys coming for Solomon's treasure and the Ark of the Covenant, for this hidden treasure from the Italians, and Cook and his bunch of idiots! What's going on? ?”

Mattis nodded, and then began to introduce the situation.

"During the siege of the Fasilidas castle complex the night before, the various forces that came for the treasure suffered more or less losses, and many people died.

The biggest loss was the group of pirates from Somalia, those scumbags were wiped out! The guys who stayed outside the city of Gondar to guard the vehicles were also killed! "

Having said that, both David and Matisse glanced at Ye Tian.

They knew very well in their hearts that Ye Tian must be the one who sent people to kill the Somali pirates outside Gondar.

But they didn't know how Ye Tian did it!

From this, it can be concluded that inside and outside Gondar City, there are still many armed personnel who obey Ye Tian's orders.

The unknown armed men also included David and Mattis.

They also don't know who these armed men are and where they are hiding!

"From those Somali pirates rushing to Gondar, trying to rob the tripartite joint exploration team and looting Solomon's treasure, this is the result. For them, this trip to Gondar is a trip to hell!"

Ye Tian said with a sneer, eyes full of disdain.

"The battle ended the night before, and after evacuating from around the Fasilidas castle complex, all forces saw that they had suffered heavy losses and had no hope of success, so they withdrew from Gondar one after another.

Except for the Tigray militants who directly withdrew to Tigray State, the other forces did not stay away, and they were still lingering around Gondar, obviously waiting for the next opportunity to act.

The next opportunity in the eyes of these guys is that we cooperate with the Ethiopian government to leave Gondar and go to the nearby mountains to explore the treasure hidden by the Italians during World War II!

In the eyes of these guys, this opportunity is obviously better. Compared with besieging the tall, magnificent and extremely strong Fasilidas castle group, the probability of success of this opportunity seems to be a little higher!

Although Cook and his idiots did not participate in the previous siege against the Fasilidas castle complex, they were also hit. Two idiots were beaten up that night.

They also left Gondar, staying in a small town near Gondar, and transferred a lot of people and vehicles over, waiting for an opportunity, also aiming at this treasure in the mountains! "

Mattis continued to introduce the external situation.

After listening to the introduction, Ye Tian paused for a moment, then said with a sneer:

"Those idiots are really wicked, it seems that they have not learned enough lessons, it's okay, let those idiots come here and see what they can get?

The shocking treasure hidden by the Italians during World War II? They don't even think about it, even a coin, I will not give them, there are a lot of bullets, enough to fill their stomachs! "

"Hahaha"

David and the others laughed and nodded together.

Next, Mattis introduced some other situations.

It includes some little tricks from the Ethiopians!

While preparing to negotiate with the Brave and Fearless Exploration Company and sign a joint exploration agreement, the Ethiopians secretly sent five or six exploration teams to search the mountains around Gondar.

The target of their search is the shocking treasure hidden by the Italians during World War II!

Unfortunately, they found nothing.

Not only that, during the exploration process, they also had several conflicts with some local forces and other treasure hunters, and they paid a certain price.

For these, Ye Tian had expected it a long time ago, and he was not surprised at all, nor did he take it to heart.

If this shocking treasure hidden by the Italians during World War II was so easy to find, it would not have been preserved until now and has not been discovered.

After Mattis finished introducing the situation, David took up the conversation.

"Steven, I have prepared the relevant agreements and documents, and sent them to the Ethiopians. There are no loopholes. Next, we will watch the Ethiopians perform!

When I contacted the Ethiopian government’s lawyers in the morning, I told them clearly that if they can’t confirm the cooperation as soon as possible, you will consider postponing this joint exploration operation.”

Ye Tian nodded, smiled and said:

"In this case, let's wait in the hotel and see when the Ethiopians will come to the hotel and negotiate with us. Anyway, the treasure map is in my hands, and they are the ones who are anxious!"

"Haha, that's right"

David smiled and nodded.

Next, they continued to discuss follow-up exploration actions and refine the action plan.

Time passed quickly, and it was already ten o'clock in the morning.

Just as Ye Tian expected, the Ethiopian failed to arrive at the hotel on time and released everyone's pigeons.

All Ye Tian waited for was a call from Mustafa.

On the phone, the old friend said:

"I'm very sorry, Steven, we still have two members of the exploration team whose qualifications have not been determined. The meeting can only be postponed. It is estimated that we will rush to the hotel in a short time. I hope you can understand!"

"It's okay, Mustafa, we can just take a break, but I want to remind you that if we fail to sign the joint exploration agreement by this time tomorrow, this joint exploration operation will have to be cancelled!"

Ye Tian said with a smile, and issued an ultimatum.

"ah!"

Mustafa yelped, then fell silent.

After chatting for a few more words, Ye Tian hung up the phone and sneered.

Mustafa, who was staying in another hotel not far away, was dumbfounded with his mobile phone.

After a while, he said helplessly:

"As I said before, don't try to plot against Steven, this guy is too cunning, and he doesn't leak anything. No one can take advantage of him.

If we don’t cooperate with the Brave and the Fearless Exploration Company, relying on our own ability, no matter how many people we cast out, I’m afraid we won’t be able to find the treasure buried by the Italians during World War II.”

The faces of several other high-ranking Ethiopian officials at the scene were all red.

One of the guys was still a little bit dissatisfied, and said with a straight neck:

"Even if we don't cooperate with the Brave and Fearless Exploration Company, that bastard Steven can't leave Ethiopia with that priceless treasure map, and half of the treasure map belongs to us!

What's more, that sheepskin scroll is an antique relic, if that bastard Steven doesn't want to go to prison, he can't destroy that sheepskin scroll, and that treasure will eventually fall into our hands!"

Hearing this, Mustafa immediately looked at his colleague with disdain.

His eyes looked like he was looking at an idiot.

"Everyone, don't forget that Steven is not only the world's top professional treasure hunter, but also a top expert in antique art appraisal, which is well known!

In other words, he knows almost all the methods of forging antique works of art, so who can guarantee that he will not use these methods to forge a sheepskin scroll?

He can also erase some important information on that treasure map, such as the route to where the treasure is located, and forge a new treasure hunting route, it's all possible!

I'm sure, even if we get that priceless sheepskin scroll, we won't be able to find the treasure according to the treasure map, and instead will be led astray, and the gain outweighs the loss! "

"Ah! How is this possible?"

Now there was a sound of exclamation, and several senior Ethiopian officials were all stunned.
