At the same time that Ye Tian and the others walked into St. Peter's Cathedral and began to visit the world's largest Catholic church, a fight officially began in Barcelona, Spain.
The two sides in this fight were five or six mercenaries who had just sneaked into Barcelona, and a notorious local gang in Barcelona.
Those mercenaries come from all over the world, and each of them is a battlefield elite who has survived hundreds of battles. Their hands are stained with the blood of countless people. They are all ruthless and extremely tough!
As for the local gangster in Barcelona, they are a ragtag group of gangsters with varying levels of fighting power, many of whom are only a little stronger than ordinary people.
The outcome of such a fight can be imagined, and there is no suspense at all.
At the same time, in Marseille, France, not too far away from Barcelona, and in Belgrade, Seville, a group of mercenaries with explosive combat effectiveness appeared, and they also came here secretly.
Like the mercenaries who appeared in Barcelona, these two mercenary groups also came with killing missions, targeting a gang in Marseille and a local gang in Belgrade respectively!
The person who issued this series of killing missions was none other than Ye Tian.
This was his act of revenge. Before he even arrived in Rome yesterday, a bounty had been announced.
Although everyone in the world knew that he would definitely put a bounty on those gangsters who tried to rob him and hit **** the gangsters behind those scumbags, no one expected it to happen so soon!
Who would have thought that he would launch an act of revenge so soon, offering bounties to hunt down and kill the gangsters behind those scumbags, and he would do so with thunderous thunderbolts.
And his reward is very special. There is no price tag or the amount of the reward!
That is very likely to give someone a leg up, and may be bitten by the law enforcement agencies of the relevant countries, and the flow of money will still leave traces.
The reward he gave was three opportunities, three opportunities to pick up missing pieces in the antique art market, and the antique artworks bought through missing pieces must be worth a lot of money!
Anyone who accepts and completes the pursuit mission will get such an opportunity.
Appear in the same antique art market with him, accept his hint, pick up a big leak in the antique art market, and then convert it into money through auction.
For those mercenaries and killers who lick blood with their blades, this is undoubtedly the most perfect mission and the most perfect way to reward them.
Because the money earned in this way is clean and pure, it is wealth under the sun. No one can question it. You can use it with confidence and boldly, no need to hide it!
Ye Tian doesn't have to worry about getting into trouble. He just hinted. What evidence can he leave behind to give others evidence? No one can do anything to him if he pays in this way!
As for his eye for antiques and art and his ability to pick out leaks, no one doubts him. He has long been famous and is known to people all over the world.
When heavy gunshots rang out like rain through Barcelona, turning the city into a battlefield, Ye Tian and the others were visiting St. Peter's Basilica and admiring this magnificent church!
Although they admired it here for a while last night, it was night after all. The light conditions were too poor and they didn't see it carefully. Moreover, time was tight, so they didn't go to many places.
Today is different. There is plenty of time, and the light conditions are excellent, so you can enjoy the tour.
St. Peter's Basilica, also known as St. Peter's Basilica and Vatican Basilica.
This church was originally built on the tomb of St. Peter between 326 and 333 by Emperor Constantine. It is called the Old St. Peter's Basilica and was completed in 333.
After more than a thousand years, the original Old St. Peter's Church was dilapidated. In 1503, Pope Julius II decided to rebuild the church.
The rebuilt St. Peter's Basilica was designed by Michelangelo, one of the three masters of Renaissance art. It is a Catholic basilica.
The church was built from 1506 to 1626, which lasted 120 years. After its completion, it became one of the important symbols of the Catholic Church.
In the history of Western art and architecture, St. Peter's Basilica has an extremely important historical position. It is regarded as the most outstanding work of Renaissance architecture, unparalleled!
This church is huge, covering an area of 23,000 square meters and can accommodate more than 60,000 people. In the center of the church is a 42-meter-diameter dome with a top height of about 138 meters. In front are St. Peter's Square and the Avenue de la Concorde.
Although St. Peter's Basilica is not the 'mother church' of all Catholic churches, nor is it the seat of the Pope, it is still considered the holiest site of the Catholic Church.
In the process of designing and constructing St. Peter's Basilica, in addition to the designer Michelangelo, many famous architects and art masters of the Italian Renaissance left their mark here.
These include famous architects and art masters such as Bramonte, Raphael, Sangallo, and Bernini. For example, St. Peter's Square was designed by Bernini.
Due to its liturgical role, St. Peter's Basilica is one of the famous Catholic pilgrimage sites.
The Pope holds multiple ceremonies here every year, including the number of people inside and outside the temple. Every time a ceremony is held, about 15,000 to 80,000 people participate, and the scene is very grand.
St. Peter's Basilica has a strong connection with many events in Catholic history, including early Christianity, the Papal States, the Reformation, the Counter-Reformation, etc.
In addition to its important position and great influence in the religious and political fields, St. Peter's Cathedral is also a temple of art, which has attracted countless art lovers.
This Renaissance-style building itself is an unparalleled top-notch antique work of art. It is Michelangelo's greatest architectural work and embodies the efforts of many art masters.
In addition, there are countless top-notch antiques and artworks displayed in this church, which is dizzying and intoxicating!
On the left and right sides of the entrance to St. Peter's Basilica, there stand two tall and solemn statues, namely the statues of St. Peter and St. Paul, watching every visitor entering and exiting the church.
Both these two statues were made by famous artists. They are exquisitely carved, realistic and lifelike. If their hair and skin were painted with real colors, they might be regarded as real people!
Entering the church, in the corridor on the right, there is a display of Michelangelo's work when he was 23 years old, the bronze statue of "Saint Peter". Although people can only appreciate it through glass, it can still impress everyone.
On the walls and roof inside the church, there are murals with themes from the Bible everywhere. Each mural is made by a famous artist and has extraordinary artistic value.
But the most precious antique artwork in St. Peter's Basilica is the sculptures displayed here.
In addition to Michelangelo's "Saint Peter" at the entrance, another masterpiece of Michelangelo's, the "Pieta" sculpture, is also displayed here.
Michelangelo loved the religious theme of the Pieta very much, and created many works on this theme throughout his life, including sculptures, paintings, and murals!
But one of the most outstanding pieces, the Pieta, is the sculpture displayed in St. Peter's Basilica.
In addition to Michelangelo's sculptures, there is also a bronze baldachin designed and carved by Bernini.
It is supported by four spiral copper columns, which is as high as a five-story building. There are 99 ever-burning lamps on the semicircular railing in front of the canopy. Below is the Pontifical Altar and the tomb of St. Peter. .
Only the Pope can ascend this altar, face the rising sun, and hold mass in front of pilgrims.
There is another heavyweight antique artwork here, which is the throne of St. Peter, also made by the master of art Bernini. It is a gilded bronze throne.
Of course, the most spectacular view in this church is the dome of St. Peter's Basilica, which was designed by Michelangelo himself and is known as the largest dome in the world.
Standing under this dome and looking up, you will feel that everything in the church seems so small, and you will also be completely shocked by Michelangelo's amazing talent!
Although they had visited the largest church in the world last night, Ye Tian and the others were still very shocked when they walked in here again today. They couldn't help but stop and start to appreciate it carefully!
