Following Ye Tian, Jason also went down to the bottom of the pit. This kid was also wearing a full set of protective clothing and a Kevlar body armor.
As soon as he came down and stood still, Derek and the others put down another riot police shield.
Next, those who stayed on the ground all retreated and left the pit for safety.
When Ye Tian went down to the bottom of the pit, he did not rush to dig out the metal objects buried in the sand under his feet. Instead, he carefully observed the nearly three-meter-deep pit, and then reached out to grab a handful of sand from the bottom of the pit. Twist it.
Immediately afterwards, he said to Jason beside him:
“My previous judgment was correct. There should have been a small secret room here. It should have been built in the mid-twelfth century. It was most likely built by Guardim Pais himself to hide something.
The secret passage into the secret room is just behind the altar. The granite and bricks just taken out from behind the altar are different from those in other places. They are closer in age, about a hundred years apart.
This difference is very small. Without careful observation and a pair of sharp eyes, it is almost impossible to detect that there are some broken granite and bricks in the sand we dug out from the ground.
The broken granite and bricks are basically the same texture as the granite and bricks in other parts of the altar. They should be the materials originally used to build the secret passage. They were smashed and used to backfill the secret passage.
Perhaps because this secret room was too small, the Templars planned to bury too many things here, so they destroyed this small secret room, buried some things here, and then backfilled it.
If this is the case, then as early as more than 700 years ago, the traps set up by Guardim Pais here were completely destroyed by the Knights Templar themselves. To us, this is a Good thing.
The bad thing is that something that was once hidden in this underground secret room may have been taken away. That thing may be very precious, but we have no way of knowing what it is, and we can’t see it! ”
“If that’s the case, it would be a pity, but it’s not bad now. The metal objects that the Templar Knights worked hard to bury here are very likely to be priceless, and we have them at our fingertips!”
Jason continued, looking extremely excited.
“That’s right. Don’t worry about those things that have been taken away long ago. Our most important task now is to pick up these metal objects under our feet. I believe this is a huge surprise”
As he spoke, Ye Tian looked at the ground at the bottom of the pit.
Next, he gave Jason a few more words to ask the boy to pay attention to his safety, then waved the engineer shovel in his hand and started digging.
With his movements, the sand about five or six centimeters thick on the ground at the bottom of the pit was gently scraped away and piled up in the corner of the bottom of the pit.
“Squeak!”
With a harsh sound of metal friction, a rusty iron bar suddenly appeared at the bottom of the pit, appearing in the eyes of Ye Tian and Jason.
Ye Tian stopped what he was doing, and quickly picked up the explosion-proof police shield on his left hand, blocking it in front of himself and Jason.
No sharp arrows shot out like a rainstorm, no javelins shot out like lightning, and no other hidden weapons suddenly shot out. Nothing happened.
As Ye Tian said, as early as more than 700 years ago, the traps here were destroyed by the Templars themselves, or there were no traps here at all.
After pausing for a moment and making sure it was safe, Ye Tian and Jason stepped out from behind the explosion-proof police shield and looked at the iron bar they had just dug out. Both of them were filled with excitement.
After just one glance, Ye Tian said with certainty:
“There is no doubt that these should be the iron bars used to hoop the box. My previous guess was correct. The metal objects detected by the pulse metal detector are all packed in the box.”
“Then what are you waiting for? Let me clean up the dirt and see what treasures those metal objects are”
As he spoke, Jason stepped forward, picked up the engineering shovel and began to clean up the soil covering the box.
In just a moment, a mottled and almost falling apart top of the box appeared.
This wooden box is about 80 centimeters long and less than 50 centimeters wide. It is not too big and has an arched top. The height of the box and the conditions below are currently unknown.
The box should be made of black walnut, which is very solid. Although it has been buried deep underground for seven to eight hundred years, it has not completely decayed, and its appearance is basically well preserved.
Of course, this also depends on the iron bars tightly holding the box, which are criss-crossed. There are two iron bars two or three centimeters wide each horizontally and vertically on the top of the box.
In the center of the top of this box, nailed is a rusty horse cross, which is the symbol of the Knights Templar.
After clearing the top of the wooden box, Jason immediately cheered in a low voice and almost danced with excitement.
After cheering, the boy couldn’t wait to say:
“Steven, let’s open this box and see what treasure is inside? Maybe it’s a priceless top-notch antique artwork”
Ye Tian gently shook his head and said with a smile:
“Don’t worry, Jason, let’s clean out this box and the other boxes first, then hoist them to the ground, then open these boxes and see what we can harvest.
One thing is for sure, no matter what is contained in these boxes, just the horse cross on the box can confirm that these things belong to us.
In other words, they are all part of the treasures of the Knights Templar. As long as they are not those long-lost Christian holy relics, all other secular properties belong to us.”
“Okay, Steven”
Jason nodded in response, and then took action again, and he was very energetic.
Soon, half an hour passed.
The four wooden boxes found at the bottom of the pit have been hoisted to the ground and are now placed in front of the altar.
These boxes, which have a history of seven or eight hundred years, are basically the same size and are all stained. All the iron bars used to hold the boxes and the locks that lock the boxes are rusty.
The soil on each box has been cleared away, revealing the black walnut wood boards. The preservation condition of these boards is not bad, at least they did not fall apart immediately.
After hoisting these boxes to the ground and making sure that there was nothing else at the bottom of the pit, Ye Tian and Jason also returned to the ground.
Next, it’s time to open these historic wooden boxes and count the harvest.
Everyone in this church has gathered together at this time, all staring at these four boxes. Everyone is excited and full of expectations.
Especially Father Ramirez, who was once the priest of this main church and is extremely familiar with everything here!
However, he never imagined that such a treasure would be buried in the place where he knelt and prayed every day.
Not only him, but in the past seven or eight hundred years, countless priests from the Knights Templar and the Jesuits have knelt and prayed here, but no one has discovered this treasure.
Those treasure hunters who came to Tomar one after another in search of the Knights Templar’s treasure also failed to find the treasure. Everyone returned disappointed and even paid a huge price.
To this day, this guy Steven came here and discovered this treasure so easily.
Perhaps like the legend, this extremely lucky guy is protected by God!
Thinking of this, Father Ramirez couldn’t help feeling depressed!
