At around three o'clock in the afternoon, escorted by a large number of Portuguese police cars, Ye Tian and his convoy drove into Tomar, a small historical town east of Lisbon.
This is a small city with a population of only 20,000, but it has a place in the history of Portugal and even the history of the world, and it can be called famous.
During the Middle Ages, this was the headquarters of the Knights Templar in southern Europe and the front line of the Crusaders' battle with the Muslims from North Africa. Countless soul-stirring knightly legends have been staged in this land.
In the fifteenth century, it became the center of Portugal's overseas expansion.
The Jesuits, which evolved from the Portuguese branch of the Knights Templar, became an important force in supporting Portugal's geographical discovery in the fifteenth century and funded many famous navigators.
The Christian Monastery that still stands in the city of Tomar has witnessed the golden years of this historical town.
In the 12th century, this castle-like monastery built by the Knights Templar became the headquarters of the Knights Templar, symbolizing the Knights' conquest process.
In the Age of Discovery of the 15th century, the Christian Monastery was given another level of significance and became a symbol of Portugal's openness to other civilizations.
In addition to the Christian Monastery, which has been listed as a World Heritage Site, ancient buildings built in various historical periods can be seen everywhere in the small town of Tomar.
Walking around the streets of Tomar, people feel like they have walked into history and the Middle Ages!
In this city, people can see ancient Romanesque buildings, Gothic buildings, Manueline-era buildings, Renaissance-style buildings, and many North African Muslim-style buildings.
Each historical building here has its own characteristics and splendor, and is worthy of appreciation and study.
As soon as the motorcade entered the city of Tomar, Ye Tian was attracted by the beautiful scenery outside the car window and began to admire it intoxicatedly through the car window.
At the same time, people on the streets of Tomar were also watching this huge convoy. Many people's eyes were full of curiosity and expectation, and their expressions were quite excited.
There are also some people whose eyes are full of worry, even a little scared.
Through developed social networks and reports from relevant news media, people in Tomar now know who is sitting in this huge convoy and why they are here!
When Ye Tian and his convoy roared past the ancient streets, the quiet historical town of Tomar suddenly became agitated.
"It's that guy Steven's motorcade. The scene is really big. That guy is still high-profile and flamboyant as always. I just don't know if they can find the Knights Templar treasure in Tomar?"
"I guess it's quite embarrassing! Since the Middle Ages, God knows how many people have come to Tomar to look for the Knights Templar treasure. Those treasure hunters searched all the places related to the Knights Templar, but found nothing!
Even if Steven is extremely lucky and has extremely sharp vision, it is almost impossible for him to find the legendary Knights Templar treasure in Tomar, unless a miracle really happens! ”
While people were talking a lot, David, who was sitting in the same bulletproof SUV as Ye Tian, looked at the situation on the street outside and said in surprise:
"Didn't I say that Tomar only has 20,000 people? There are so many pedestrians on the street outside. From this point of view, the population here is probably much more than 20,000.
And there are many monks and nuns wearing monk's uniforms on the street outside, which is a bit strange. These monks and nuns seem to be coming for us! ”
As David said, you can see a lot of pedestrians on almost every street the motorcade passes.
These people stood scattered on both sides of the street, all watching this huge motorcade and talking about it.
Among these pedestrians, there were many male and female monks in black monastic uniforms, all looking at the speeding motorcade. The eyes of these monks and nuns were extremely hot and full of expectation.
Ye Tian looked at the situation on the street outside, then said with a smile:
“This is not surprising. Tomar is a historic city. In addition to local residents, there are also many tourists from all over the world. Seeing that we are here to explore treasures, people will naturally flock to the streets to watch the excitement.
Historically, Tomar was once the headquarters of the Knights Templar and later the headquarters of the Portuguese Jesuits. As long as people know that we are coming to Lisbon, they will immediately guess that our destination is here.
As for those male and female monks wearing monastic uniforms, it goes without saying that they must be Portuguese Jesuit monks. There are many churches and monasteries in and around Tomar, and the density is much higher than in other places.
This is just the beginning, wait and see in two days, there will be countless treasure hunters, media reporters, religious figures, and interesting tourists flocking to Tomar, and there must be many people with ulterior motives among them."
"Wow! It seems that this operation to explore the treasures of the Knights Templar in Tomar will also continue to be turbulent, and maybe there will be another exciting show"
David said with an exaggerated expression, as if he was worried that the world would not be in chaos.
While talking, the huge motorcade that Ye Tian and the others were riding in had entered the center of Tomar and stopped in front of an ancient Renaissance-style building.
This is one of the best hotels in Tomar City. It is small in scale, but antique and has a bit of flavor. It has been booked by Cole and the others who came here in advance to make a stop.
For the next period of time, the joint exploration team will stay in this hotel until the exploration operation ends and leaves Tomar.
When the convoy came to a stop, Mattis immediately led many security personnel out of the car, joined the many security personnel waiting here, and quickly became alert.
At the same time, the Swiss Guards led by Leonardo also got out of the car and entered a state of alert.
After confirming that the scene was safe, Ye Tian and the others got out of the car and stood at the door of the hotel.
Bishop Kent and others who were sitting in several cars behind also got out of the car and walked over here.
In the blink of an eye, everyone was gathered together, and under the leadership of the hotel manager, they walked into this unique hotel together.
As soon as they entered the hotel, Ye Tian and the others saw several Portuguese people coming towards them, and everyone looked quite excited and full of expectations.
What’s even more special is that there are two nuns among these Portuguese people. They are both over sixty years old. They are wearing black and white nuns’ robes, which are very eye-catching.
In a matter of three or two steps, Ye Tian and the others had already met these Portuguese people. They stopped immediately and nodded to these Portuguese people with a smile on their faces.
The hotel manager who led them in began to introduce both parties.
These Portuguese people are the mayor of Tomar, government officials in charge of cultural tourism and historical sites, the Jesuit bishop of Tomar, and the dean and vice-chancellor of the Convent of Christ.
After everyone got to know each other and exchanged a few polite words, we got down to business.
The mayor named Barbosa took a breath secretly, and then said expectantly:
"Mr. Steven, Bishop of Kent, regarding the history of the city of Tomar, I believe you know very well that this city was founded by the Knights Templar, and there are traces of the Knights Templar everywhere.
You came to Tomar this time to explore the famous treasures of the Knights Templar and to find those long-lost Christian holy relics. Here, I have a gracious request. I hope you can agree to it. !
We can provide convenience for you to successfully carry out your exploration in Tomar. As long as the historical sites here are not damaged, the Tomar city government and all citizens will strongly support your exploration.
However, we ask to participate in this exploratory operation. This is our city after all. We should enjoy this right and no one can deprive it of it. Only in this way can I explain to the citizens of Tomar.
One more thing, if the Templar treasure is really hidden in Tomar and discovered by you, the treasure does contain those legendary Christian relics, and we hope that those relics can stay in Tomar."
Hearing this, Ye Tian couldn't help but sneer at the corner of his mouth.
As expected! Before anything else happened, these Portuguese people started to pursue the idea of the Knights Templar's treasure!
