Seven or eight minutes later, Bishop Kent carefully placed Baldwin IV's crown of thorns back into the gold-inlaid rosewood box and closed the box.
Immediately afterwards, he picked up the gold-inlaid rosewood box and handed it to another senior monk with empty hands. He gave many instructions to the senior monk to protect the Christian holy objects in the box. .
The senior monk immediately swore something, and then he excitedly took the gold-inlaid rosewood box, stepped aside, and stood with the senior monk holding another gold-inlaid rosewood box!
Then Bishop Kent turned to look at Ye Tian and said with a smile:
"Steven, I have a question I just wanted to ask. What are you going to do with the dozens or hundreds of Templar swords, helmets, shields, and the weapons and equipment of Baldwin IV at the entrance of the hall? Process?
If it is still the same as before and you plan to sell them all and turn them into real wealth, then our Vatican is willing to invest in acquiring this batch of significant medieval knight equipment at any price you want! ”
After saying that, he looked at Ye Tian expectantly, looking forward to hearing the answer he wanted most.
"Hiss——!"
The rest of the people at the scene took a breath of air-conditioning. Everyone was frightened by what Bishop Kent said. The price was set casually. This was too big a deal and even more daring!
You know, the person standing opposite is Steven, who has always been known for being ruthless and ruthless. He will never show mercy just because the suitor is the Vatican. Isn't this just stretching his neck and waiting to be slaughtered!
However, what happened next was beyond everyone's expectations.
Ye Tian shook his head gently, smiled leisurely and said:
"Sorry, Bishop Kent, I do not intend to sell the knight equipment of these important figures of the Knights Templar and the weapons and equipment of Baldwin IV, but I plan to collect them myself.
I have plenty of money, but it is impossible to come across knight equipment that completely reflects the history of the Knights Templar from its establishment to its demise, not to mention the weapons and equipment of the Leper King!
Using these Templar equipment and the weapons and equipment of the Leper King Baldwin IV, I plan to set up an independent personal exhibition hall. I have already thought of a name, called 'King and Knight'.
This exhibition hall is definitely the only one in the world. Once it is established, it will definitely cause a huge sensation and attract countless attention. Wealth will continue to flow into my pocket! ”
Hearing Ye Tian's words, Bishop Kent's eyes immediately flashed with disappointment and regret.
Then, his eyes suddenly lit up, as if he suddenly remembered something, he said hurriedly:
"I have to say, Steven, you are really shrewd to the extreme. Once this 'Kings and Knights' exhibition hall is established, it will definitely attract countless tourists to experience the legend of medieval knights!
By then, this special exhibition hall will become a huge gold mine, continuously bringing you huge wealth. More importantly, this huge gold mine is inexhaustible and inexhaustible!
Here, I would like to ask, where do you plan to locate this 'Kings and Knights' exhibition hall? New York or Beijing, China? As far as I know, you have an independent personal exhibition room in the Forbidden City in Beijing!
If possible, I hope you can locate this special exhibition hall in the Vatican. Our Vatican museum will provide you with the most favorable conditions and the best location in the museum! ”
Ye Tian shook his head again and said with pretense of regret:
“I’m very sorry, Bishop Kent, this ‘Kings and Knights’ exhibition hall will not be located in the Vatican. In my opinion, this exhibition hall with special significance is not suitable to be located in the Vatican, a religious holy place.
You must know that these medieval knight equipment all come from the famous Knights Templar and King Baldwin IV of Jerusalem. It is easy to think of the Crusades.
The Knights Templar once stationed themselves in Jerusalem for a long time. Since their establishment, they have participated in almost all battles to defend the Holy Land of Jerusalem. To a certain extent, they are the symbol of the Crusaders.
Both Arabs and Jews have an unforgettable memory of the history of the Crusades. Opening an exhibition hall with a strong Crusader style in the Vatican will definitely touch the sensitive nerves of many people!
That’s why I excluded the Vatican. I believe you can understand this. As for the Forbidden City in Beijing, it is not a suitable location. You also know the situation in China, which is not a country that believes in Christianity.
In my opinion, the most suitable place is New York. Compared to Europe and the Arab regions, it is a new world. The history of the Crusades has nothing to do with the United States.
Furthermore, the religious beliefs in the United States happen to be mainly Christian. As a new country with a short history, Americans are full of interest in the history of the Crusades.
This can be seen from the endless stream of related film and television works, so I plan to set up this exhibition hall in New York. Of course, this is just a preliminary idea, and the plan has yet to be perfected! ”
Hearing this, everyone present was completely dumbfounded.
Is this guy Steven really a human? It only took a while for him to come up with such an amazing business plan. It was really terrifying!
Having said this, what else can Bishop Kent say?
He could only nod slightly and said with emotion:
"Steven, I really admire you as a guy, and I don’t know how you came up with these things? No wonder you are so successful, it’s not for nothing!
You are right. This 'Kings and Knights' exhibition hall is indeed not suitable to be located in the Vatican. It will cause many unnecessary associations. It was my lack of consideration and recklessness.
It is indeed the best choice to locate this special exhibition hall in New York. New York is one of the world's cultural and art centers. This exhibition hall will definitely become another tourist attraction in New York."
"Well, this is just an idea. It's too early to say this now. Our top priority is to continue to explore the Knights Templar's treasures and check everything stored in this hall.
I wonder how well these two Baldwin IV swords are preserved? Are they like the swords of the Templars, which have been treated with anti-rust treatment and are still as shiny and sharp as ever? ”
As he spoke, Ye Tian had already picked up a sword belonging to Baldwin IV from the metal box on the stone platform, held it in his hand and began to admire it.
This sword of the king of the Kingdom of Jerusalem, or knight's sword, is inserted into the scabbard, so the exact length is unknown.
A simple visual inspection shows that this knight's sword is about one meter long. The length of the blade should be about 75 centimeters, and the hilt should be about 25 centimeters!
Like Baldwin IV's helmet and leprosy mask, the scabbard of this knight's sword is also made of silver alloy. Although it has gone through more than 800 years, it has not rusted, but is slightly stained.
That is the result of the oxidation of the silver alloy, which can be easily cleaned, allowing the scabbard of this monarch's sword to shine again!
The scabbard of this knight's sword is engraved with exquisite patterns. On both ends of the scabbard, there are several gems inlaid on each side, including rubies, sapphires, diamonds, etc.
In addition, there are several large gems inlaid on the cross guard of this knight's sword and the weight ball at the head of the sword, each of which is valuable!
Because of the age, the gems inlaid on the scabbard and hilt have lost their luster. If you want them to shine again, they must be polished again!
In addition to these gems inlaid on the hilt and scabbard, there is also a cross engraved on the middle of the scabbard and the middle of the cross-shaped guard on the hilt.
In the middle and on both sides of the black walnut guard of the sword hilt are engraved with a symbol of the Kingdom of Jerusalem, which looks very eye-catching.
After holding the monarch's sword of Baldwin IV in his hand, turning it over and over, carefully observing and appreciating it, Ye Tian then said with a smile:
"Judging from the scabbard alone, this monarch's sword is in very good condition, with no trace of rust. It is much better than the previous knight's swords of the famous Templars.
I just don’t know what the condition of the sword is like. Is it as good as this? It's as bright as new and as sharp as ever. If that's the case, it's perfect! ”
As he spoke, Ye Tian suddenly pressed the spring on the sword hilt with his right thumb, and Cang Langlang directly pulled out this monarch's sword, which is famous in Western history!
Following his movements, a cold light immediately flashed in the hall deep underground, making everyone at the scene involuntarily close their eyes!
