The exploration is still continuing. Ye Tian and the others have arrived at the center of the underground palace and are staring at everything in front of them with their mouths open.
What appeared in front of them were eight towering granite Ionic columns. Each stone column was carved with exquisite patterns, all derived from stories from the Bible, such as Adam and Eve, Noah's Ark, etc.
These eight Ionic columns form a large circle, or a rotunda, with a diameter of about eight meters. The distance between every two stone columns is exactly equal and symmetrically distributed.
Inside the rotunda, in front of each stone pillar, stands a statue of a Templar knight holding a sword in both hands and standing with his head bowed. These Templar knights seem to be praying devoutly.
Above the rotunda is a huge Byzantine-style circular vault, with exquisite ceiling paintings carved on it, depicting a grand and solemn celestial beauty.
Obviously, this is built in imitation of the rotunda of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, just like the Salola Church on the ground. Anyone with knowledge of the relevant knowledge can tell it at a glance.
Unlike other places we have explored before, there are not a large number of dazzling gold and silver treasures and many valuable antiques here, nor are there mottled boxes piled up like a hill.
On the ground here, except for dust and moss, there is not even a gold coin or a gem to be seen, and it looks quite empty.
Although the ground here is covered with a layer of dust and covered with moss, you can vaguely see that there seems to be a huge five-pointed star pattern under the dust and moss, which is Solomon's seal.
In the center of this five-pointed star, that is, in the center of the rotunda, stands a statue of the Virgin Mary with the Holy Child in her arms and her clothes fluttering. It is about two meters high and the sculpture is quite exquisite and lifelike!
On both sides of this milky white marble statue is a statue of an archangel, with the archangel Michael on the left and another archangel Raphael on the right.
The statues of the two archangels are not high, only sixty or seventy centimeters. Each stands on a marble base about one meter high, looking up at the statue of the Virgin Mary in the middle.
It can be seen that on the two marble bases, there is a box made of gold. Although there is a layer of dust on it, it cannot cover up its bright golden light.
Looking at everything in front of them, Ye Tian and the other three looked dumbfounded and their eyes were full of shock.
Not just them, everyone in Tomar Castle on the ground, including the Pope and the Portuguese President and his wife in the reception room, all behaved the same way, without exception.
In front of countless live broadcasts, there was a dead silence. Everyone looked at the scene on the live broadcast screen with their eyes filled with disbelief.
Some of the devout Christians were already crossing themselves on their chests and praying in low voices.
After a long time, Ye Tian and the other three woke up first.
Immediately afterwards, Walker said excitedly:
"Steven, did we enter a religious holy place? Or did we discover a religious holy place?"
"Before today, this may not be a religious holy place, but after today it will be hard to say"
Ye Tian responded solemnly, unable to hide the excitement in his eyes.
Following their conversation, everyone in the outside world was suddenly awakened.
The next moment, the entire Tomar Castle, and even the entire Western world, was completely boiling.
"Oh my god! Is it true that this is an unknown religious holy place as that guy Steven said? It seems to be very similar. This discovery is so amazing and will definitely shock the whole world!"
"Wow, this is simply the Church of the Holy Sepulchre located deep underground! It's incredible. What exactly are contained in those two gold boxes? Could they be long-lost religious relics?"
Just when people were exclaiming in surprise, Ye Tian and the three of them had quickly adjusted their emotions and were ready to continue exploring. The goal was naturally this shocking rotunda.
At this moment, Bishop Kent's voice suddenly came over the intercom, sounding quite excited.
"Steven, can we enter this underground palace? Explore this rotunda with you. The situation in this rotunda is really special.
Judging from the current situation, the two gold boxes placed on the pedestals of the two archangel statues are likely to contain two long-lost religious relics.
According to the joint exploration agreement between us, all religious relics in the Knights Templar's treasures belong to the Vatican, and we would like to personally retrieve these religious relics"
Before Bishop Kent finished speaking, Father Ramirez’s voice came over, sounding very urgent.
"Steven, and us, we strongly request to participate in the next exploration operation. If those two gold boxes really contain religious relics, we hope to work with the Vatican to remove those relics.
For more than seven hundred years, we, the Portuguese Jesuits, have been guarding this place and have never relaxed for a moment. Since there are religious relics hidden here, we have the right to participate in the exploration of discovering the relics."
Hearing this, Ye Tian suddenly chuckled and said loudly:
"Don't worry, Bishop Kent, I will definitely meet your request; Father Ramirez, the Portuguese Jesuits want to work together to discover and bring out the religious relics that may be hidden here. I can understand this feeling.
However, you need to discuss this matter with the Vatican. If the Vatican agrees, I will naturally not object. In view of the complicated situation in this underground palace, you are not allowed to enter yet.
This is for safety reasons. From the time we entered the underground secret passage to the time we arrived here, you have witnessed the entire process with your own eyes. I don’t need to emphasize how dangerous it is in this underground palace!
After we finish exploring this underground palace, understand the scale of this Templar treasure, and make proper arrangements, it won't be too late for you to come down and explore again. I don't want to see anything happen to anyone.
In the next exploration operation, we will open the two gold boxes at most to see what is inside. If they are really long-lost religious relics, I will never touch them.
Because I am an atheist, I will leave all these tasks to Walker and Peter, who are both Christian believers, to open the two gold boxes and examine the contents stored in the boxes.
In this way, I believe you will be satisfied and avoid causing me some unnecessary trouble. After exploring this Templar treasure, I will take you down again. I believe it won’t take long. ”
Following Ye Tian's words, the intercom suddenly fell silent. Bishop Kent and Father Ramirez were obviously thinking or discussing in low voices.
After a moment, the voice of Bishop Kent came.
"Okay, Steven, we are waiting for your good news in the church, I hope it won't take too long"
After taking care of these things, Ye Tian immediately began to give orders to prepare for the next exploration operation.
"Walker, Peter, wipe the floor. If I read correctly, there is a huge Solomon's seal on the floor of this rotunda. It should be arranged with stone slabs of different colors and heights.
This is most likely the work of Guardim Pais. The specific meaning is unknown for the time being. More exploration is needed. It may be closely related to the contents of the two gold boxes in the center of the hall. .
One more thing, something is not right here. I did not see a Moroccan cobra in this rotunda, but outside this rotunda, I can always see those highly venomous guys. .
Those guys seem to be afraid of this place. They would rather walk around than enter this rotunda. You must be on high alert and don’t leave me too far. There may be huge dangers hidden here."
When Ye Tian said these words, his tone was quite solemn and his face was very serious.
Of course, this is just a performance, performed for people on the ground and countless viewers on the live broadcast.
What is hidden in this rotunda? Is there any danger? What exactly are contained in those two boxes made of gold? Ye Tian had already seen clearly through perspective.
Infected by him, Walker and Peter immediately became nervous and looked around warily.
Everyone in Tomar Castle, as well as everyone in front of the countless live broadcasts, became nervous unconsciously. They held their breath and stared at the live broadcast screen!
