The tripartite joint press conference has ended. Many reporters from major news media around the world have left in a hurry and rushed to publish their reports.
However, Ye Tian did not leave St. Paul's Cathedral. Instead, led by Bishop Kent, he came to a reception room, accompanied by David.
When they entered the reception room, there was no one else inside and it was empty.
After Ye Tian and David entered the reception room and sat down, Bishop Kent revealed the reason for bringing them here.
"Steven, representatives from Israel will be here soon to hold talks with you. The Israelis gave us short notice, so we didn't have time to say hello to you.
Originally, the Israelis wanted to wait for these six religious relics to arrive at the Vatican before contacting you, but when they heard that you wanted to personally **** those Chinese antiques and artworks back to Beijing, they moved forward."
Hearing this, Ye Tian and David immediately looked at each other, and both of them saw a hint of curiosity in each other's eyes.
Immediately afterwards, Ye Tian said with a smile:
"It doesn't matter, Bishop Kent. We have to meet with the Israelis sooner or later anyway. What does it matter if it's later or earlier? I don't know who the Israeli representative is?
One more thing, I think the Israelis are so eager to meet me, not just because of the firefight that night, right? What else is their purpose? I'm curious"
"According to what the Israeli side just reported, those who came to meet you this time are our old friends we met in Jerusalem, Israel's Deputy Minister of Culture Joshua, and a mysterious person.
It is unknown who this mysterious person is, but I am sure that he is definitely a higher-ranking and more important person than Joshua, and a heavyweight in Israeli politics.
As for the purpose of the Israelis, I don’t know, but you can rest assured that the Israelis have made a promise before and will not launch revenge against you because of the failure that night."
Bishop Kent continued, with equally curious eyes.
"In that case, let's just wait here and see what tricks the Israelis are playing"
Ye Tian chuckled and nodded, his expression very calm.
Next, Bishop Kent changed the subject.
"Steven, after you go to Beijing, when will you return to Europe? Then we will go to the next country and continue to explore the treasures of the Knights Templar"
"I'm afraid it will take some time. After I return to Beijing and place the top-notch Chinese antiques and art that I got from the exchange, I will fly to New York immediately. There are still many things to deal with there.
My personal exhibition hall at the Metropolitan Museum, the 'Kings and Knights' exhibition hall, has been decorated and it is time to unveil it. Naturally, I cannot miss the unveiling ceremony and must be present to cut the ribbon.
After dealing with things in New York, it’s almost time for the Chinese Lunar New Year, which is the most important festival of the year for the Chinese. I must take Betty back to Beijing to celebrate the New Year with my family.
During the Chinese New Year, I have to organize a Chinese-style wedding in Beijing and deal with the preparation of a private museum. I will be busy for a while. When these things are completed, it will be early March.
Then we have to return to New York to handle some company matters. It is estimated that around March 10th, we will be able to come to Europe again and continue the joint exploration of the Knights Templar’s treasures."
Ye Tian explained a few words, not hiding anything from Bishop Kent, and there was no need.
Hearing his words, Bishop Kent was silent for a moment, then nodded with a smile and said:
"That's good. Everyone can take a break and relax their tense nerves. To be honest, since the beginning of the joint exploration operation, I have been in a state of high tension and excitement. I am indeed a little tired!"
"Indeed, during this period, everyone can not only have a good rest, but also do some preparatory work. When the joint exploration operation starts again, I hope we can make greater discoveries"
"Okay, let's arrange it this way"
Seven or eight minutes passed quickly while laughing and chatting.
Suddenly, there were several knocks on the door of the reception room, and then, the door of the reception room was pushed open from the outside.
Leonardo walked in first and quickly glanced at the situation in the reception room.
Immediately afterwards, the Pope and a white man about seventy years old walked into the reception room, followed by a cardinal and Israel's Deputy Minister of Culture Joshua.
Seeing these people coming in, Ye Tian and the others immediately stood up and walked forward to greet them with smiles on their faces.
In a few steps, Ye Tian came close and greeted the seventy-year-old white man.
"Good afternoon, Mr. President, I'm Steven. Nice to see you here. I didn't expect you to show up here. What an unexpected surprise."
Yes, the 70-year-old white man who walked into this reception room with the Pope is the President of Israel.
In Israel, although the president has no real power and is far less powerful than the prime minister and only holds a symbolic position, he is the head of state after all, so his status is naturally very important.
It was indeed a bit unexpected for Ye Tian that the Israeli president would appear here.
"Good afternoon, Mr. Steven, it seems that you know me, so I don't need to introduce myself. I am also very happy to meet you. I have been famous for your name for a long time"
The Israeli president said with a smile and shook hands with Ye Tian.
Next, Ye Tian introduced David again, shook hands with Joshua, the Deputy Minister of Culture of Israel, and said hello.
After everyone got to know each other and exchanged pleasantries, they sat down on the sofa and started chatting.
During this process, neither Ye Tian nor Bishop Kent, nor the Israeli President and Joshua, mentioned the previous rainy night fight in the Temple Church, as if the fire had never happened at all.
The cardinal who followed the pope into the reception room and Leonardo, who was in charge of security, both exited the reception room and closed the door.
There were only three parties left in the reception room, the Pope and the Bishop of Kent representing the Vatican, Ye Tian and David from the Intrepid Exploration Company, and the President of Israel and Joshua.
After chatting for a while, the Israeli president finally got down to business and stated his purpose.
"Steven, your performance in this series of exploration operations jointly carried out by your company and the Vatican is really amazing and breathtaking. It seems that there is no treasure in the world that you can't find.
Here, on behalf of all the people of Israel, on behalf of all Jewish believers, and on behalf of all Jews around the world, I would like to express my gratitude to you for discovering those Jewish holy relics one after another.
Whether it is the seven-branched bronze candlestick of King Herod the Great that you found in Jerusalem, or the "Hebrew Gospel" and the seven-branched golden candlestick of King Solomon discovered this time, every sacred object is of extraordinary significance."
As he spoke, the Israeli president stretched out his right hand again and shook hands with Ye Tian.
"Mr. President, you don't have to be polite. The discovery of those religious relics was just a coincidence. For me, it was an unexpected surprise. Of course, these are all good things and worthy of celebration!"
Ye Tian shook hands with the Israeli President and said a few polite words.
Next, the Israeli president continued:
"Inspired by your joint exploration operation, we in Israel also want to cooperate with you to find a legendary and famous treasure. The terms of cooperation can refer to the joint exploration agreement signed by you and the Vatican.
In other words, all the coordination and preparations for finding this treasure are done by us in Israel. You are only responsible for leading the team to explore the treasure. If you are lucky enough to find the treasure, we can distribute the treasure according to the agreement.
We only take the religious relics and artifacts symbolizing the Jewish nation from the treasure. All other secular property belongs to your brave and fearless exploration company. If the treasure is not found, we will make compensation.
This is why we came to see you. What do you think? Regarding that legendary treasure, we have some information, but the accuracy is unknown. This requires you to verify it."
Hearing these words, Ye Tian's eyes instantly lit up and shone brightly.
Before the Israeli president finished speaking, he had basically guessed what the treasure the Israelis were looking for was, and it was definitely one of the most famous treasures in world history.
He did not immediately respond, agree or refuse, but pretended to think about it, and then asked pretending to be curious:
"Mr. President, I really want to know what this famous treasure that Israel plans to explore with me is. Can you tell me?"
As he said these words, the Pope, Bishop of Kent, and David who were present all looked at the Israeli President, and everyone's eyes were full of curiosity.
The Israeli president took a deep look at Ye Tian, and then said solemnly:
"Solomon's Treasure! What we are going to explore is the legendary Solomon's Treasure. We really want to find the Jewish holy objects stored in Solomon's Treasure, the "Old Testament", "Sinai", and even the Ark of the Covenant.
In ancient legends, Solomon’s treasure contains dozens or hundreds of tons of gold, jewelry and diamonds. If you find the treasure, all the worldly belongings will be yours, and we in Israel can buy them at market prices.”
Before he finished speaking, there was an exclamation of surprise.
"Oh my God! It's actually Solomon's Treasure. It's one of the most famous treasures in the world, even more famous than the Treasure of the Knights Templar!"
"Wow! If the legendary Solomon's Treasure can really be found, it will definitely shock the whole world!"
Bishop Kent and David both exclaimed in low voices, and even the Pope looked shocked.
Only Ye Tian had a serious look on his face and fell silent.
Of course, this is just a show.
After a moment of silence, he said in a deep voice:
“To jointly explore the legendary Solomon’s Treasure, I have to say that the temptation is very great and exciting. I also want to unlock the secret of this world-famous treasure. That will be a historic moment.
As for whether there are dozens or hundreds of tons of gold and jewelry and diamonds in Solomon's treasure, I don't really care, nor do I really believe it. 3,000 years ago, metal smelting technology had not yet developed to that extent.
As far as I know, the most likely burial place for Solomon's treasure is Mount Zion in Jerusalem, which was once the site of Solomon's Temple. It is said that Solomon's treasure was buried there.
If the location for exploring the treasure is in Mount Zion, or somewhere else in Jerusalem, then I'm sorry, I can't cooperate with you. I don't want to trigger a religious war because of an exploration operation."
This time it was the Israelis' turn to be silent. Both the Israeli President and Joshua fell silent without saying a word.
After a while, the Israeli president said with a wry smile:
"Steven, Mount Zion in Jerusalem is indeed one of the targets. Since you have concerns, you can exclude Mount Zion from the joint exploration plan and let us Israelis explore there alone.
In addition to Mount Zion in Jerusalem, there are several other possible treasure burial locations. They are not in Jerusalem and the surrounding areas, but on the African continent. This should be okay, right? ”
Hearing this, Ye Tian's face immediately burst into a bright smile.
