The sky finally cleared and the sun shone brightly.
After obtaining permission from the Larnaca Municipal Government and the Greek Orthodox Church, the joint exploration team launched an exploration operation in Larnaca.
The reason why we need to get permission from the Greek Orthodox Church is very simple. The target building for this exploration is a property belonging to the Greek Orthodox Church and there is no way around it.
While issuing the exploration permit, the Larnaca Municipal Government and the Greek Orthodox Church also sent several people each to follow the joint exploration team, euphemistically called supervision!
But everyone knows their true intentions, but they just haven't revealed them.
This is a medieval castle located on the outskirts of Larnaca. It is a Gothic building. It has been in disrepair and has been abandoned for a long time, so it looks very dilapidated and desolate.
The surroundings of this Gothic castle and the inner courtyard are overgrown with grass. The exterior walls and gates are covered with ivy, and from time to time you can see some small animals wandering around.
Some places inside and outside the castle have collapsed, and the broken bricks and stones are piled on the ground. They have long been completely covered by vegetation, turning into green hills of various sizes.
There is a thick layer of dust on the ground, and there are many footprints and traces left by small animals on it. The ancient steps, stone paths, and walls are covered with moss.
Except for the gate that was reinstalled in later generations, the various wooden doors and shutters in the castle have become loose due to decay, all the metal railings are covered with embroidery, and the windows are broken and crumbling!
It seems that as long as a breeze comes, these things can be blown away one by one.
Because there is no lighting, even if the sun is bright outside, it can only shine into a very limited part of the castle, and most of the remaining areas are shrouded in shadow.
This originally mysterious, sad, and sublime Gothic building has become eerie, weird, and creepy today hundreds of years later. If there were a group of crows, it would be a perfect ghost movie scene!
At this time, Ye Tian and Bishop Kent were standing on the only well-preserved tower in the castle, overlooking the Gothic castle, or rather the ruins!
Looking at the ruins below, Ye Tian and Bishop Kent standing at the tower window felt somewhat sad.
"It is such a pity that such a tall, majestic and special Gothic castle has turned into what it is now. What a waste of natural resources!"
Ye Tian said with emotion, his tone full of regret.
"There is no way, who allowed this castle to be in Cyprus? This has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times, with constant wars, and ethnic conflicts and religious conflicts occurring more frequently.
According to relevant sources in the Greek Orthodox Church, this Gothic castle was destroyed by the conflict between the Greeks and the Turks, and then was abandoned, and it became what it is now! ”
Bishop Kent continued, feeling very sorry as well.
"Indeed, this place is too close to Turkey and the Arabian Peninsula, and the island is dominated by Greeks. The two religious beliefs coexist, how can conflicts not break out!"
“Let’s not talk about it. For the island of Cyprus, our joint exploration team and we are all passers-by and outsiders. We cannot change these things at all.
Let’s talk about the Knights Templar treasure, Steven. If the Knights Templar treasure is really buried in this medieval castle, where do you think it is most likely to be buried? ”
“This Gothic castle was built by the Knights Templar themselves, and they have been stationed here for fifty or sixty years. If they buried the treasure here, they would definitely have enough time to implement their plan.
Combining the characteristics of Gothic architecture and the situation on the island of Cyprus, I guess that the Knights Templar must have buried the treasure deep underground. Needless to say, that location must be very secret! ”
"I think so too. If the treasure is really buried here, it must be deep underground. It depends on whether we can find it!"
"It's a pity that none of us recognize the unique mysterious symbols of the Knights Templar. The clues to the treasure may be hidden in these mysterious symbols, but we cannot decipher them"
As he spoke, Ye Tian looked at the two mysterious symbols carved on the wall next to him, his eyes full of curiosity.
Bishop Kent also looked at the two mysterious symbols and was equally confused.
Those are two characters-like symbols carved on the granite wall. They look a bit like French, but they are not French or any other known language. No one understands their meaning.
It is precisely with this self-contained set of mysterious symbols that the Knights Templar have firmly guarded their secrets from the day they were founded, making it impossible for outsiders to covet them.
Until the Knights Templar were outlawed and then exterminated, no one could decipher this set of mysterious symbols. They still guarded many of the Knights Templar's secrets, perhaps including the Knights Templar's treasures.
After talking about the Knights Templar treasure for a while, Bishop Kent changed the topic again.
"Steven, do you think those Turks would have come here yesterday to stop us from exploring the Knights Templar's treasure? The impact of yesterday's incident was not small, it shocked the entire island of Cyprus!"
Ye Tian shook his head gently, then said with a smile:
"Probably not. Although the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus is a separatist force in Cyprus, it is not a terrorist organization. Then they must consider international public opinion and act cautiously.
After yesterday's online video live broadcast, many people's eyes are now focused on them to see what they will do next and whether they will openly obstruct our joint exploration operation!
But we are now in South Cyprus, which is not their sphere of influence. Even if they want to openly obstruct it, they will be unable to do so unless they reach an agreement with the Cyprus government.
Not only are the Cyprus government authorities but also the United Nations paying close attention to them, so the United Nations peacekeeping forces and the Cyprus police will join forces to protect this exploration operation!
There are soldiers from the United Nations peacekeeping forces on guard around the castle. The Turks should not dare to make mistakes. If they dare to attack the soldiers from the United Nations peacekeeping forces, it will definitely cause a sensation in the whole world.
Next, Cyprus will most likely slide to the brink of civil war again. The Turks have worked hard for so many years and the little achievements they have finally achieved are likely to be in vain!
For us, the arrival of the United Nations peacekeepers can be said to be an unexpected blessing. They can not only deter those greedy Turks, but also other monsters and monsters.
According to reports from security personnel, the Monastery of Mount Martyr, the Portuguese Society of Jesus, as well as some other churches and religious organizations, as well as Russian gangsters and other guys, were all kept out of the cordon! ”
As he spoke, Ye Tian raised his finger and pointed outside the tower and around the castle.
From where he and Bishop Kent stood, they could clearly see the United Nations peacekeeping force vehicles parked on the roads around the castle. They were all armored vehicles with the United Nations logo on them very conspicuously.
Next to those armored vehicles, there were many United Nations peacekeepers with live ammunition, fully armed, and wearing blue helmets. Everyone was on high alert.
Following the direction of Ye Tian's finger, Bishop Kent also looked at the vehicles and soldiers of the United Nations peacekeeping force, and nodded slightly, and the worry in his eyes was immediately wiped away.
After chatting for a few more words, Jason's voice suddenly came from the earphones.
"Steven, we have almost cleaned the ground, and the basements as well. In several of the basements, we found a lot of mysterious symbols, which are very interesting. You can come down and take a look!"
Jason arrived in Larnaca just last night, and brought four or five company employees with him. As soon as they arrived, they joined the joint exploration team.
As for the acquisition of several target properties in Rome that he was responsible for, it has been successfully completed. Not only did he sign the real estate transaction contract, but he also obtained a new real estate certificate without any flaws!
After completing the real estate transaction, Jason didn't even return to New York. He couldn't wait to come directly to Cyprus and join the exploration of the Knights Templar's treasure.
Hearing Jason’s report, Ye Tian immediately smiled and said:
"Bishop Kent, let's go down and take a look. The ground cleaning work has been basically completed. It's time to start exploring. Maybe there is a huge surprise waiting for us down there. It may be the treasure of the Knights Templar!"
"It would be great if we can really find the treasure of the Knights Templar here. Let's go and take a look. To be honest, I can't wait!"
Bishop Kent nodded in response, his eyes filled with anticipation.
Then they walked down the spiral steps inside the tower, both of them walking extremely briskly.
