That was the chirp of a pulse metal detector, which sounded like the sounds of nature.
The first time they heard the sound, Ye Tian and Bishop Kent turned their heads and looked back. Behind them, there was a tall arch, and the sound came from there.
Through the arch, they saw at a glance that two Brave Exploration Company employees were holding pulse metal detectors and scanning the wall facing the arch with a probe coil.
The wall they were scanning was one side of the hexadecagonal church, and the area being detected was exactly the same height as the arch of the prayer house.
A little higher on that wall, there are murals of religious stories derived from the Bible, and they are covered with gold foil, making them look magnificent.
When the two guys put the probes in their hands close to the wall, the metal detector would immediately emit a series of sweet chirps, echoing throughout the Salola Church.
Not only Ye Tian and Bishop Kent, but everyone in the church was attracted by the chirping sound of the metal detector and turned their heads to look over there.
After several consecutive detections, the guy holding the LCD monitor said excitedly:
"Stephen, come and take a look. Inside the stone wall engraved with "Exodus", we have detected signals from metal objects. The signals are distributed in long strips and look like a cross. Military Knight Sword"
Ye Tian glanced at the wall from a distance, then smiled and said loudly:
"Explore carefully, Mark, there is a lot of gold leaf on that wall, and there is also a bronze candlestick from the 17th century, which may interfere with the metal detector.
We saw a mysterious symbol unique to the Knights Templar here. We have seen it before in the London Temple Church. I will go to your place after I study it carefully."
After finishing speaking, he turned back, looked at the wall in front of him, and reached out to touch the rock with the mysterious symbols engraved on it.
"Okay, Steven"
Mark responded and then continued to explore the wall with the "Exodus" engraved on it.
In the prayer room, Ye Tian gently touched the mysterious symbol carved on the wall with his hand, and then pushed the granite with force.
The granite was completely motionless. No changes occurred, let alone any traps. There was only a faint fingerprint on the wall.
Next, Ye Tian carefully observed the granite again, but still found nothing.
"There should be no mechanisms or hidden compartments behind this granite slab, just hard granite. Before we understand the meaning, this mysterious symbol does not seem to be able to guide us to find the treasure of the Knights Templar"
Ye Tian said with a smile, and then withdrew his right hand.
Hearing this, Bishop Kent nodded slightly, with no disappointment on his face.
This is just the beginning. Miracles cannot happen so easily, otherwise they wouldn’t be called miracles!
Next, Ye Tian turned around and walked towards Mark and the others.
As soon as I walked out of the prayer room, there was another beep of a metal detector not far away, which still sounded as pleasant as ever.
Immediately afterwards, the voice of another company employee came over, and he sounded quite excited.
"Steven, come and take a look. We have also detected a metal object hidden in the wall. From the analysis of the detected signals, it is also a long object, like a Crusader knight's sword"
Hearing this, Ye Tian immediately stopped and turned his head to look to the side.
The team that just detected the metal signal was not far from where Mark and the others were, and the wall that the team detected happened to face an arch of the octagonal prayer house.
Seeing this scene, Ye Tian couldn't help but nodded slightly, looking thoughtful.
After a moment of pause, he said loudly:
"Guys, don't probe the ground for now. Please probe the walls of Salola Church thoroughly, especially the walls corresponding to the eight arches of the prayer house.
I made a bold guess. There might be a Crusader sword once used by the Templars hidden on the walls corresponding to the eight arches of the prayer house.
If this guess is accurate, it would be very interesting. This prayer house is octagonal, with a total of eight arches, and each arch corresponds to a knight's sword.
The eight Crusader swords hidden in the granite walls, with eight murals from the Bible carved on them, is this all a coincidence? Or is it intentional?
This has to let me let my imagination run wild. Perhaps this arrangement itself has a sacred religious meaning. The number eight represents eternal life among the Knights Templar! ”
Following Ye Tian's words, the Shaluola Church suddenly became boiling.
"Okay, Steven, let's explore the walls of the church right away"
Many Brave Exploration Company employees responded in unison, and everyone was extremely excited.
Immediately afterwards, these guys changed their target and began to scan the walls of the church with pulse metal detectors.
At the same time, Father Ramirez and Barbosa came over, and the three of them were full of expectations.
As he approached, Father Ramirez asked impatiently before he could stand firm:
"Stephen, if there are really eight Crusader swords used by the Templars hidden in the wall facing the eight arches of the Prayer House, what do they mean?
Do they point to the famous Templar treasure? Or to some long-lost Christian relic? You said eight means eternal life, so is it related to the Holy Grail? ”
Ye Tian looked at the priest, then glanced at the other two high-ranking Portuguese government officials who were full of expectations, and then said with a smile:
"Father Ramirez, you heard it just now. It was just my guess. Whether it is accurate depends on the specific detection results. I believe the detection results will be out soon.
Even if the metal detector scanned the signal inside the wall, the detection results were consistent with my guess. Whether this arrangement is related to the Holy Grail, I dare not draw any conclusions! ”
Before he finished speaking, a series of melodious chirps sounded in the church, all coming from the pulse metal detector, like a beautiful piano concerto.
Immediately afterwards, bursts of excited sounds came from everyone's ears one after another.
"Steven, you guessed it right. We detected metal objects in the wall facing the prayer house. From the feedback signal analysis, the metal objects in the wall looked like a Crusader Knight. "Sword"
"Same here, Steven, we also detected metal objects in the wall with the "Noah's Ark" mural carved on it. This wall is facing an arch of the prayer house"
As Ye Tian expected, there was a Crusader knight's sword hidden in each wall facing the eight arches of the prayer house, and the knight's sword was hidden in the center of the arch.
If this scene were placed in the Middle Ages, it would be like eight Templar knights standing around the prayer house, pulling out their knight swords and pointing to the center of the prayer house, which is also the center of the entire church.
In the secret initiation ceremony of the Knights Templar, this is the scene when the Templars knelt down and took the oath. The eight Templar knights standing with their swords drawn were witnesses of this initiation ceremony.
Hearing the sounds coming from different directions, the smile on Ye Tian's face suddenly became brighter.
"Father Ramirez, I would like to ask, in the past seven or eight hundred years, have the Portuguese Jesuits never discovered these Crusader swords, especially when they were repairing the castle?"
Ye Tian asked with a smile, somewhat puzzled.
“When building this Byzantine-style church in the twelfth century, Guardim Pais built it very solidly, using almost all granite strips.
Although seven or eight hundred years have passed, the main structure of this church is still very solid. Even though we have repaired it many times, we only made some decorations inside and outside.
In other words, the walls of this church have never been moved. We are not professional treasure hunters, so it is naturally impossible to find the swords of the Crusader Knights hidden in the walls."
Father Ramirez continued and explained the reason.
"I see, but I still don't understand. As far as I know, you have explored many places before we arrived in Tomar. Why didn't you find these Crusader Knight Swords?"
“It’s actually very simple. We are just a small town in Tomar. We don’t have advanced exploration equipment. The few metal detectors we finally found were all products from many years ago, and the detection accuracy is worrying.
More importantly, the walls of Salola Church are covered with a lot of gold foil, many bronze candlesticks, and various metal antiques. Those metal detectors are completely useless here."
Barbossa took over the conversation, his expression somewhat embarrassed and his tone full of helplessness.
