“This is a Celtic gold coin, minted around the second century BC. At that time, the Celts were still in the barbaric era. Although their force was quite strong, they did not break away from the barbarian habits.
In that era, it was extremely rare for the Celts to be able to mint such gold coins. In the antique art market, such Celtic gold coins are extremely rare, and each one is worth a lot of money.”
Ye Tian held a simple gold coin in his hand, turning it over and over to appreciate it while introducing it to Prince William and David.
On the ground in front of him, there was a small black walnut box filled with various gold and silver coins, most of which were currencies popular on the British Isles around BC.
Some of them come from Ireland, some from England, some from Scotland, and some are 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 and picked up another ancient Roman gold coin, ready to continue the introduction.
At this moment, the voice of a company employee suddenly came over and reached everyone’s ears.
“Stephen, come and take a look. There are two boxes of documents and several ancient books here. All the papers seem to be parchment and are in good condition.”
Hearing this, Ye Tian immediately threw the ancient Roman gold coins he just picked up back into the box, then stood up and said to Prince William and David:
“Gentlemen, let’s go and take a look. Compared with gold and silver treasures and antique cultural relics, various documents and materials handed down from ancient times are more valuable. Maybe it will be another huge surprise”
As he spoke, Ye Tian made an invitation gesture, then took the lead and walked 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 the 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 wood boxes, less than one meter long, about fifty centimeters wide, and about fifty centimeters high. Their appearance is mottled, but they are in very good condition, with basically no damage.
In these two wooden boxes, there are several layers of moisture-proof oil paper, used to wrap the documents and ancient books contained in the boxes to prevent moisture and moth.
One of the boxes is filled with documents. These documents are all bound, one by one, and there are quite a lot of them!
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 of the writing has been blurred.
The other box is filled with various ancient books.
The covers of several ancient books on the top floor of the box are all written in Latin. Due to time, some of the writing is no longer legible, and the covers of three of the ancient books are still somewhat damaged.
As the company employee said, these documents and ancient books handed down from the Middle Ages are all made of parchment.
Otherwise, their preservation condition would not be so good, and they might have rotted away.
After quickly glancing at the documents and ancient books packed 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. The Martian cross on the surface of the document is the best proof.
I don’t know the specific contents of the other box of ancient books. Unfortunately, I don’t understand Latin and cannot read these ancient books. Bishop of Kent, I will leave the identification of these ancient books to you. I will authenticate these documents.”
“Okay, Steven, let me identify these ancient books, hoping to make surprising discoveries”
Bishop Kent nodded in response, and then picked up an ancient book from the box and flipped through it carefully.
Ye Tianze picked up a bound document, opened it gently, and began to look at the contents recorded on the document.
The document in his hand is entirely written in English. Although the grammar is slightly different from modern English, it does not affect reading.
After just glancing at the contents recorded in the document, Ye Tian exclaimed in excitement.
“Wow! It records some things that happened during the last Crusade, and it is closely related to the Knights Templar. The beginning is the siege of Antioch.
If the documents in this box are all the same, then this must be the most detailed information for studying medieval history. Its value is absolutely immeasurable. It is not an exaggeration to say it is a priceless treasure.”
Before he finished speaking, the excited voice of Bishop Kent also sounded.
“Oh my god! This is the collection of books of the kings of the Kingdom of Jerusalem. With the fall of Jerusalem in 1187, everyone thought that these extremely precious books had been destroyed in the war and burned to the ground.
But who would have imagined that these priceless ancient books were actually brought to London by the Knights Templar and then hidden in this underground palace. They have not been seen again until today. What a miracle! ”
As he spoke, Bishop Kent showed everyone the first page of the ancient book in his hand. There was a badge of the Kingdom of Jerusalem printed on the lower right corner of the parchment. Although it was a little blurry, it was not difficult to identify.
After hearing what Ye Tian and Bishop Kent said, and seeing the Malta cross and the emblem of the Kingdom of Jerusalem, everyone at the scene couldn’t help but froze, and everyone was dumbfounded.
It’s amazing that this is another such a major discovery!
In just a moment, everyone woke up, and a cry of exclamation erupted from the scene.
Immediately afterwards, the British Minister of Culture stared with a pair of blood-red eyes and said in a tone with a hint of pleading:
“Stephen, Bishop of Kent, can you let me see these historical documents and ancient books? If these documents and ancient books are really as you say, then they are absolutely priceless treasures.
By studying these precious historical documents and information, we can understand the history during the Crusades and many things about the Kingdom of Jerusalem”
“No problem, Mr. Minister, you can take a look at these historical documents and the collection of books in the Kingdom of Jerusalem, but for confidentiality reasons, you can only look at them briefly and not read them carefully. I believe you can understand”
Ye Tian smiled and nodded, agreeing to the request of the British Minister of Culture, but he also had reservations.
After speaking, he closed the document in his hand and handed it to the British Minister of Culture.
After taking 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:
“Yes, what is recorded in this historical document is indeed the famous battle during the last Crusade, the siege of Antioch. That battle marked the beginning of the last Crusade.
And these contents are historical facts recorded from the perspective of the Templars who participated in the war. They are very detailed and highly credible. They are the most direct materials for studying that period of history and 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 have to pay to leave these precious historical documents? ”
With 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, his tone was decisive and unquestionable.
“What price do you need to pay? It’s very simple. Exchange the paintings and scriptures from the Dunhuang Scripture Cave. There is no other way to do a fair transaction based on market value.”
Hearing this, Prince William and the British Minister of Culture immediately looked at each other, and they both saw a hint of helplessness in each other’s eyes.
Obviously, this time it was going to be robbed crazily by Steven, a greedy bastard, and he didn’t even run away!
……
Soon, a few hours passed.
Night falls and the lanterns are turned on.
The ancient city of London shows people a different side that is completely different from the daytime, with flashing neon lights and lively entertainment, which has a different flavor and is more charming.
After dark, 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 colder, damper, and more uncomfortable.
Compared with the daytime, the number of media reporters and onlookers gathered around the church, instead of decreasing, actually increased a lot, completely surrounding the three floors inside and outside the temple church.
In addition to the many media reporters and ordinary people watching the excitement, there were also many people dressed as monks around the church, both men and women. Everyone’s expression was very excited, even a little fanatical.
These people dressed as monks come from churches and monasteries in different areas of London and even different areas of the British Isles. They are a group of monks and nuns.
Some of them are even monks and nuns who came from all over Europe, and each of them is a very devout believer.
The reason why they came to London and the Temple Church was very simple: they came for those Christian holy relics that were born out of nowhere.
When people see these monks or nuns, they usually nod very politely and make way for a passage to allow these monks and nuns to enter the place closest to the temple church.
Even those media reporters who have always been the boss of others have to give up their positions respectfully and stand honestly behind these monks and nuns, otherwise they will definitely become the target of public criticism!
These monks and nuns came to stand at the edge of the cordon. Without exception, they would kneel down on one knee toward the temple church, lightly cross themselves on their chests, and pray in a low voice, showing great piety.
After praying, they stood up and stared at the Temple Church excitedly, as if they were coming here on pilgrimage.
It didn’t take long before every edge of the cordon around the Temple Church was occupied by these monks and nuns.
Suddenly, it seemed that all the monks and nuns from the British Isles and even all of Europe had gathered here. Looking around, the scene was spectacular!
Compared to daytime, the security force around the Temple Church has also been strengthened a lot. There are three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry, and there are London police and British soldiers with live ammunition and high alert everywhere.
The situation inside the church is the same. Many armed security personnel under Ye Tian and a large number of Swiss Guard members from the Vatican have guarded the temple church so impregnably that no flies can even get in.
