Deep in Tomar Castle, in a showroom of the nunnery.
Accompanied by Sister Sofia and several other senior monks, the Pope and the Portuguese President and his wife were visiting the antique artifacts displayed here to learn about the ancient history of Tomar Castle.
At this moment, a rumbling sound suddenly came from the Salola Church, like thunder, and even the ground was shaking slightly.
Hearing this sound, everyone was startled and turned their heads to look in the direction of Salola Church.
The members of the Swiss Guard responsible for protecting the Pope and the security personnel protecting the Portuguese President immediately raised their alert level, watching their surroundings vigilantly and ready to react at any time.
Fortunately, this was just a false alarm. Before the security personnel could react further, Leonardo's voice came through the intercom.
"Don't be nervous, everyone. The series of loud noises just now came from the Shaluola Church. The Shaluola Church is safe and there are no problems.
In the Salola Church, Steven discovered a very hidden mechanism. The sound just now was caused when the mechanism was turned on, and it has subsided now."
After hearing Leonardo's briefing, the security personnel who were on high alert relaxed and became less nervous.
However, Leonardo's report aroused everyone's curiosity.
"The mechanism hidden in the Salola Church? It seems that the joint exploration team has discovered something. That guy Steven is really amazing. It seems that there is no treasure that he cannot discover.
His Majesty the Pope, let’s go to the Salola Church and see what Steven and the others found, whether it’s the famous Knights Templar treasure or something else.”
The Portuguese president said with a smile, his eyes full of curiosity and a hint of greed.
The president's wife standing next to him was also curious and eager to try.
Sister Sophia and several other senior monks who were showing them around looked dumbfounded, with eyes full of disbelief.
"Okay, let's go take a look together. I'm also curious about what the joint exploration team found. Is it the famous Knights Templar treasure? If so, that would be great.
However, based on my understanding of that guy Steven, even if we go there, we may not be able to enter the Salola Church. That guy has always been very cautious and has a strong sense of confidentiality."
The Pope smiled and nodded, accepting the Portuguese President's proposal.
With his words, everyone at the scene was awakened.
The next moment, there was an exclamation of surprise.
"How is this possible? There is a hidden mechanism in the Salola Church, and it has made such a big noise. Why has no one discovered it in the past hundreds of years? It is simply incredible."
"Is the famous Knights Templar treasure really hidden in the Salola Church? Hidden under our noses, but we are unaware of it?"
The ones who exclaimed were naturally Sister Sophia and others.
Leonardo's report just now had such a huge impact on them that they couldn't believe it.
Looking at their performance, the smile in the Pope's eyes couldn't help but grow stronger.
In fact, he had already expected this result, otherwise he would not have come all the way to Portugal and Tomar to take charge.
After a while, when everyone's emotions calmed down a little, Sister Sofia led the Pope, the Portuguese President and his wife and others towards the Salola Church.
In Salola Church, Ye Tian and the seven company employees who helped him open the mechanism had retracted their arms, got off the triangular ladder or stool, and stood on the floor.
On those eight walls, there were eight more square holes. The eight granite blocks that Ye Tian and the others pressed into the walls did not bounce back.
As soon as he came down from the triangular ladder and landed on the ground, Ye Tian said through the intercom:
"Mattis, tell the guys, let everyone be more vigilant. As I said before, no one can be allowed to enter the Salola Church without my permission.
We just discovered a hidden mechanism and successfully opened it. The treasure may be close at hand. At this critical moment, I don’t want to be disturbed."
"Copy that, Steven, leave the security to us, there will be absolutely no problems"
Mattis's voice came over the intercom, and he answered decisively.
Listening to their conversation, the expressions of the three Portuguese people in Salola Church changed. They became very ugly, but they were helpless.
"Steven, what was that series of thunderous sounds just now? Those sounds seemed to come from deep underground, but there was no change on the ground of Salola Church. What was the reason?"
Bishop Kent asked curiously, obviously a little confused about the situation in front of him.
Ye Tian turned to look at him, then glanced at everyone present, and then said with a smile:
"If I guessed correctly, through the huge mechanism hidden in the wall, we have just opened the door to a secret room or secret passage, which is deep underground in the Salola Church.
And the door of this secret room or secret passage is very heavy, so when it is opened, it will make a rumbling sound of thunder, accompanied by vibrations. From this point of view, it can be imagined that the specifications of this secret room or secret passage must be very high.
I boldly speculated that there might be a huge underground palace hidden deep underground in Salola Church. As early as the twelfth century, the Knights Templar secretly hollowed out the heart of this hill.
A series of thunders were heard deep underground, but why was there no change on the ground? This is very simple. The reason why Guardim Pais built the Salola Church here may be to hide the secrets deep underground.
If we want to enter the secret room or secret passage deep underground, or even the underground palace, we can only break through the floor of Salola Church. I am sure that the path to the deep underground is just above the floor of the prayer house. "Down"
As he spoke, Ye Tian pointed to the prayer room located in the center of the church.
Following the direction of his finger, everyone at the scene looked towards the prayer room. Everyone's eyes were extremely hot and full of expectation.
"Everyone, let's go over and uncover this secret that has been hidden for more than eight hundred years and see what we can gain? Is it a huge surprise or nothing!"
Ye Tian said loudly with a smile, and took the lead in walking towards the prayer house.
Behind him, others followed immediately.
As soon as he took two steps, Barbosa suddenly said:
"Steven, what about the eight Crusader Knights' swords hidden in the wall? Do you plan to take them out? Now can you tell me about the structure and triggering mechanism of the huge mechanism in the church wall? ”
Hearing this, Ye Tian immediately looked back at the church wall behind him, then chuckled and said:
"The eight Crusader knight swords hidden in the wall must be of very good quality and have been treated with anti-rust treatment, otherwise they would not be able to still function and trigger the mechanism smoothly.
To be sure, those Crusader swords are valuable antique relics, and may be weapons used by some famous Templars, but I have no intention of taking them out of the wall.
That would be too difficult, and we would have to break through the wall to take out the eight Crusader Knight swords. I don't want to destroy this ancient church. More importantly, our goal is the treasure.
If you want to take out the eight Crusader Knight Swords, that's okay. I'm happy to see it happen. As for the structure and triggering mechanism of the huge mechanism in the wall, I can only speculate based on it.
According to my speculation, there is a stone pillar that can move up and down inside the eight pieces of granite. When we push the outer piece of granite into the wall, it will squeeze the stone pillar inside the wall.
Under the influence of external force, the stone pillar began to descend, pressing against the hilt of the Crusader Knight's sword inside the wall, and then pressed the Crusader Knight's sword down so that the tip of the sword contacted the metal rod below.
After the metal rod is stressed, it then acts downward. When the eight metal rods are pressed down together, they will trigger the mechanism hidden deeper underground and open the thick door deep underground.
This is the structure and triggering mechanism of the huge mechanism in the wall. It can be said to be very exquisite! Of course, this is just my speculation. Whether it is accurate can only be known by breaking through those walls."
As soon as the words fell, there was an exclamation of exclamation from the scene.
"Wow! This mechanism is too complicated. What's even more exaggerated is that after more than 800 years, it can still function and is still so sensitive!"
"Guardim Pais painstakingly designed such a mechanism to hide what secret? It is conceivable that this secret must be no small matter!"
With exclamations, everyone entered the prayer room located in the center of Shaluola Church.
The first time they walked into the prayer room, everyone looked at the ground, their eyes were like lightning, and their eyes were shining brightly.
Almost without exception, everyone here wishes they could see directly through the ground, see through the granite slabs on the ground, see the depths of the underground, and see what kind of shocking secrets are hidden deep underground.
The only exception was Ye Tian. After entering the prayer house, he quickly scanned the ground, then looked at the walls of the octagonal prayer house and the circular dome above!
