When the laughter subsided, Ye Tian immediately continued:
"Everyone can choose a knight's sword, remove the moss and dust on it, and see which knight's sword from the Middle Ages belongs to the Templar. Everyone can experience the fun of exploring treasures.
During this process, everyone must be careful and do not touch the blade with your hands, let alone try to pull out the knight's sword, or do other dangerous actions, otherwise you may be injured. !
I have just checked. Although these knight swords have been sleeping deep underground for more than seven hundred years, they are still as sharp as ever and very deadly. The moss and dust on the swords only float on the surface and will fall off as soon as they are rubbed. ! ”
Before he finished speaking, the scene was already commotion.
"Did I hear you correctly? These knight swords are still as sharp as ever? They have a history of more than 700 years, and the environment here is damp and cold, how can they not rust?"
"Yes, the stakes in the basement above and the traps in the corridors cannot withstand the erosion of time and have become rusty. How can these knight swords be an exception?"
Everyone was very surprised and curious, and talked about it.
Ye Tian glanced at everyone present, then said with a smile:
"The reason is very simple. Before the Knights Templar inserted these knight swords into the marble base, they did some special treatment to prevent these knight swords from rusting, so that they can be preserved for a long time.
In the Middle Ages, metal anti-rust technology has appeared. Re-quenching the sword body, adding copper sulfide, or using galvanizing, chromium plating and other processes can effectively prevent rust.
Although the cost of these anti-rust processes is high, it is not a problem at all for the extremely wealthy Knights Templar. Moreover, these knight swords are very important, so they do not hesitate to spend even more!
According to my observation, these knight swords in front of you use chrome plating technology, which not only increases the hardness and wear resistance of the sword body, but also makes the sword body brighter and effectively prevents rust.
The rust-proof performance of the chrome plating process is not very good. As time goes by and coupled with the humid and cold environment here, these knight swords still have a little rust on them, but it is not obvious.
Fortunately, we have now discovered these knight swords and let them see the light of day again. If they had been discovered two hundred years later, they would have become rusty, just like the burning stakes above!
In addition to the sword body being beautified with chrome plating and rust-proof, the hilt guard of each knight's sword here has also been replaced with African rosewood and black walnut, which are not only extremely hard, but also anti-corrosion and moth-proof! ”
"Wow! These guys from the Knights Templar are really rich, they are so willing to buy it!"
David said with emotion, and others were also secretly stunned.
"Okay, that's all I have to say. Let's each choose a knight's sword and experience the fun of exploring treasures. Be sure to pay attention to safety!"
With that said, Ye Tian stepped out and walked straight into the hall along the passage marked by two rows of knight swords.
Others spread out, and some followed Ye Tian into the hall, preparing to go deeper and start exploring. Some guys chose their target at the entrance of the hall and couldn't wait to start!
In the blink of an eye, Ye Tian had reached the top of the horse cross composed of many knight swords, and stood still next to a knight sword.
The moss and dust on the knight's sword had been wiped off by him before, revealing the bright sword blade and the gleaming sharp blade underneath. The deep blood grooves on both sides of the sword blade looked like they were there. It’s chilling!
Most of the moss and dust on the marble base below were wiped away by Ye Tian, revealing its true appearance!
You can see that there are a lot of Latin inscriptions engraved on the marble base, most of them are words, and there are some numbers occasionally, basically the year and date.
Ye Tian had just stood still, and before he had time to admire the sharp knight's sword again, several excited voices came from the door of the hall!
"What Steven said is right. Although these knight swords have been sleeping here for more than seven hundred years, their blades are still very bright and sharp as before, with only a little trace of rust, which is completely negligible!
On these medieval knight swords, time seems to have completely frozen, and there is a signature on the sword, which is in cursive Latin, 'J.D.M'. Which Templar knight is this abbreviation? ”
"My knight's sword also has the signature of the Templar on the sword. It is also in Latin cursive, with the three letters 'G.D.B' in capital letters. Steven, which Templar's signature is this? ?"
Hearing these sounds, Ye Tian immediately smiled softly, and then said loudly:
"If I guessed correctly, the knight's sword with the three Latin letters 'J.D.M' engraved on it should be the sword of Jacques de Molay, the last master of the Knights Templar. I didn't expect it. It's a miracle to be here.
As for the knight's sword engraved with the three Latin letters 'G.D.B', it should be the sword of another Knights Templar, Guilami III. de Beaujean, who is also named William. , this name is more famous"
Before he finished speaking, the senior priest from the Vatican who had studied the Knights Templar had already put his head in his hands and exclaimed!
"This is absolutely impossible! Jacques de Molay, the last Grand Master of the Knights Templar, was tied to the stake and slowly burned to death in Paris. How could his knight's sword appear in Cyprus?
As for William's knight sword, it is even more impossible! After the failed siege of Acre in 1291, he and his remaining group of Templars were all burned to death in a wooden tower!
Those were the last Templar Knights left in the Holy Land. After they were buried in ashes, the Holy Land fell and the Crusader countries also perished. No one has ever been heard of escaping that disaster! ”
Ye Tian looked at this person, then smiled and said loudly:
“The fact that these two knight swords used by the Grand Master of the Knights Templar will appear here is indeed beyond my expectation and can be regarded as an unexpected surprise. These are genuine and priceless treasures!
But if you think about it carefully, it is reasonable for them to appear here. Let’s talk about Jacques de Molay’s knight’s sword first. Perhaps he left his knight’s sword here when he left Cyprus for France. !
Of course, there is another possibility. After he was burned to death in Paris, his nephew, Count Guiche, got his belongings back from Philip IV, and then found a way to transport them here and hide them.
As we all know, after Jacques de Molay was burned to death, his nephew, the Count of Guiche, came forward to request Philip IV to take back the body and bury him. It is said that he also took the opportunity to transport the treasures of the Knights Templar. .
Both of these possibilities exist, but I prefer the first guess, that is to say, before leaving the island of Cyprus, Jacques De Molay placed his knight's sword in this secret room!
As for why William's knight's sword appeared here, it is probably an eternal mystery. Perhaps after he and the members of the Knights Templar were burned to death, their relics were sent back by the other party!
In the Middle Ages when chivalry was prevalent, this possibility existed! For example, after winning the Battle of Harding, Saladin let go of his biggest enemy, Gerard, the head of the Knights Templar! ”
After hearing this explanation, everyone at the scene couldn't help but nodded slightly, and had no different opinions.
The senior priest from the Vatican also nodded and agreed with Ye Tian's analysis!
After a short pause, Ye Tian continued to say with great satisfaction:
“Now I can tell you that the knights’ swords that make up this Horse Cross come from the previous Grand Masters and Inspectors General of the Knights Templar, and some of them come from famous Templar Knights in history.
The Grand Master and Inspector General of the same period had their knight swords inserted side by side. On the left was the Grand Master's knight sword, on the right was the Inspector General's knight sword, and the swords of the other Templars were on both sides of the cross. !
The shining knight's sword beside me is the first general master of the Knights Templar and the most important founder of the Knights Templar. Hugo de Paying's knight's sword is a An undoubtedly priceless treasure!
In Western history, this knight's sword symbolizes the arrival of the golden age of knights and is one of the main symbols of the Knights Templar. It was holding this knight's sword that Hugo Depayin single-handedly created the Temple. Knights! ”
Unsurprisingly, the scene exploded again!
"Oh my God! The knight swords of the previous Grand Masters and Inspector General of the Knights Templar are all here, as well as the knight sword of Hugo de Paing. How is this possible? It's incredible!"
"If this is true, then there is no doubt that every knight's sword here is a priceless top antique cultural relic. What a huge treasure this is! It's really crazy!"
