Ye Tian once again took out the soft cloth he used before and gently wiped away the thick layer of moss and dust on the top of the box, revealing the box covered underneath.
This is a copper box. Under the erosion of long years and being in such a humid and cold environment, it has long been rusty and lost its former appearance.
Next, Ye Tian wiped away the moss and dust from the rest of the box.
What is in front of everyone is a rusty copper box, which has a sense of history!
The various decorations, inscriptions, and carved patterns that may exist on the box are completely covered by layers of patina, and nothing can be seen!
If you want to see these contents and understand the value of this box, you can only find out by thoroughly cleaning off the patina attached to it!
The place where the metal helmet of Leper King Baldwin IV and the leper mask were previously placed is relatively less rusted, but is also covered with a layer of patina.
In front of this copper box, there is a medieval-style silver lock hanging. It has a black appearance and is engraved with a cross and some exquisite patterns. It is the only thing on the box that is not rusty. s things.
Seeing the silver lock, Ye Tian did not open it immediately, but lowered his head to admire it.
The same goes for David and the Bishop of Kent, who were standing nearby. They both lowered their heads to admire this antique artifact from the medieval period with great interest.
"Steven, this lock looks pretty good. It should be considered an antique cultural relic. If possible, it is best not to damage the lock when opening this box"
Bishop Kent whispered, his eyes shining brightly.
Although he didn't know how much this medieval lock was worth, he did know that this box might contain the crown of Baldwin IV, a Christian holy relic!
This reason is enough!
If the Christian holy relic is really in this box, then everything inside and outside the box will be worth twice as much and will be given a special meaning!
Because of this, he was particularly interested in this silver lock.
Ye Tian turned to look at Bishop Kent, then nodded with a smile and said:
"Of course, Bishop Kent, even if there is no crown of Baldwin IV in this box, this silver lock has nothing to do with the Christian holy relic, I will not destroy this silver lock easily.
Based on its relationship with the Leper King Baldwin IV, as well as its long history and exquisite craftsmanship, this is also a valuable antique artifact, worth at least half a million US dollars.
But there is a premise here. Its interior is made of sterling silver just like its surface, and it is not rusted to death. I can open it smoothly, so I don’t have to destroy it, which is naturally the best.
It would be a shame if the inside of it were completely rusted and I would have to cut off the lock. This silver lock would be nothing compared to what is stored in this box! ”
Hearing this, Bishop Kent and David both nodded slightly and had no different opinions.
While talking, Ye Tian had already taken his backpack and took out a small exquisite leather bag. It was a set of special lock-picking tools, which were extremely delicate.
When he took out two gleaming alloy picks from the tool bag, inserted the two picks one up and one down into the keyhole of the silver lock, and began to turn it gently.
Bishop Kent’s eyes suddenly widened like cowbells, and he was completely dumbfounded!
"It seems that good luck has always been with me. I am very lucky. This silver lock is made entirely of pure silver. There is no rust inside, but it is very raw. There is no difficulty in opening it!"
Ye Tian said with a smile, a bit of pride in his tone, not without the intention of showing off.
Before he finished speaking, his performance was over.
"Pa"
With a crisp sound, the exquisite silver lock made in the Middle Ages was finally opened again today, more than 700 years later.
"Oh my god! How is this possible? It didn't even take ten seconds. It's too fast. Steven, how did you do it? It's incredible. It's incredible. ! ”
Bishop Kent exclaimed in a low voice, his eyes so wide that they almost flew out of his sockets.
In contrast, David's performance was much calmer. It seemed that he had already expected this result and it was not worth making a fuss about.
"Hahaha, Bishop Kent, don’t be surprised. Steven is a magical guy who can always create incredible miracles that are jaw-dropping.
It was not difficult for him to open the silver lock in front of him. I once saw with my own eyes that he easily opened an old safe with two metal picks and a stethoscope! ”
David said with a chuckle, introducing Ye Tian's past glorious achievements.
Bishop Kent looked at Ye Tian again and at the opened silver lock, his eyes still filled with disbelief and fear.
"I'll go! This guy Steven is a snitch! And he's the top one. Is there anything he can't do? Is there anything else that can stop him? Really? It’s terrible!”
While sighing with emotion, Bishop Kent also secretly reminded himself that he must not stand on the opposite side of the guy in front of him or become his enemy.
With this guy's ruthless methods and omnipotent abilities, becoming his enemy is definitely a nightmare that you will never wake up from, and you don't even know how you died!
After opening the silver lock on the box, Ye Tian held the lock body and twisted it a few times, then took off the medieval lock and handed it to David next to him.
However, he did not open the rusty copper box immediately. Instead, he asked David and the Bishop of Kent next to him to step back a little for safety.
In fact, he knew clearly whether there were any traps or dangers in the box. This move was just a performance, just to make everything look more reasonable and realistic.
After David and the others retreated, Ye Tian took action!
He picked up a crowbar from the tool box next to him, then stood on the side of the stone platform, pressing the top of the rusty box with one hand and holding the crowbar with the other. Starting from the padlock position on the box, he started Pry that box.
In the blink of an eye, the lid of the copper box was pried up, revealing a gap no more than two centimeters wide.
At this moment, Ye Tian suddenly stopped what he was doing and did not directly pry open the box.
After pausing for a moment to make sure there were no traps in the box, he used force again and opened the copper box.
The next moment, the contents contained in this box were finally presented to everyone.
After sleeping deep underground for more than seven hundred years, these things in the box have once again come to light, which will surely shock the entire world.
Ye Tian returned to the front of the stone platform and glanced at the contents of the box. Then he called David and Bishop Kent to come over and looked inside the open box together.
The first thing the three of them saw were two wooden boxes made of African rosewood. There were no locks on the boxes, just fastened with a gold buckle.
The corners and edges of the two rosewood boxes are covered with gold. The boxes are engraved with exquisite patterns. There is a gold cross in the center of the top and a symbol of the Kingdom of Jerusalem, also made of gold.
Under these two boxes, there are two knight's swords in scabbards and a triangular shield. They also appear to be made of silver alloy. They are slightly blackened and can be easily cleaned.
Through the gaps between the two knight swords and the triangular shield, what is below can be clearly seen.
It was a set of chain armor, about one meter three to four meters long from head to knee. The wrapping performance seemed to be very good, and it could perfectly protect the wearer's head, limbs, and torso.
Like the triangular shield above, this set of chain armor is not rusty. Although it has gone through a long history of more than 700 years, it is still gleaming and elegant.
However, the metal used to make this set of chain armor is not silver alloy. The specific metal is still unknown.
This set of chain armor is laid flat inside the box, and there seems to be another set of armor underneath it, but only part of it can be seen. If you want to see the whole picture, you can only see it by taking out the chain armor.
Seeing the situation in the box, Ye Tian and the three of them had bright smiles on their faces.
"Great! It's exactly what I guessed. What's in this box is the relic of King Baldwin IV of Jerusalem, and it's a complete set of combat equipment. Every piece is priceless!"
Ye Tian cheered directly and waved his fist excitedly.
This is an expression of his true feelings. It is no longer a performance. At most, it has only a little bit of performance.
Next to them, David and Bishop Kent were equally excited and lightly bumped their fists in celebration.
After a short celebration, Bishop Kent immediately said impatiently:
"Steven, what are those two gold-inlaid rosewood boxes? Could it be the crown of Baldwin IV? Open it quickly and take a look. I can't wait for a second!"
As soon as he finished speaking, before Ye Tian could respond, Cole's voice suddenly came from the walkie-talkie.
"Steven, the mayor of Larnaca and the bishop of the Greek Orthodox Church are here, and there are quite a few people here. They have just passed the cordon set up by the Larnaca police and the United Nations peacekeepers, and they will immediately arrive at the castle. The door! ”
After hearing the announcement, the smile on Ye Tian's face immediately froze, and his expression quickly turned cold.
Then he picked up the walkie-talkie and said coldly:
"Copy that, Cole, those guys came really fast. Obviously they came with bad intentions. You used various excuses and means such as security checks to delay the time as long as you can.
Our exploration operation is ongoing, and it has reached the most critical moment. How to deal with those guys depends on the results of our exploration, so we ask you to delay! ”
"Understood, Steven, we know what to do, don't worry!"
Cole responded, his tone decisive.
