The representatives from Israel and the Vatican communicated with the senior Orthodox monks who blocked the road, then led them to the car where Joshua was riding, and chatted a few more words with Joshua.
Then, the senior Orthodox monks walked to the car where Bishop Kent was riding and had another conversation.
I don’t know what Joshua and Bishop Kent talked to them or what they promised. When the senior Orthodox monks left, their faces looked a little better.
When leaving, they turned their heads and took a deep look at the armored and bulletproof vehicle that Ye Tian was riding in, with a hint of fear in their eyes.
Obviously, Joshua and Bishop Kent had told the Orthodox monks.
Ye Tian and the Brave and Intrepid Exploration Company will not participate in any discussions related to religion. They are only responsible for exploring treasures.
After the senior Ethiopian Orthodox monks left, the tripartite joint exploration convoy finally started again and continued to move forward.
The Orthodox monks and believers who came up around them retreated to both sides of the street, and did not do anything drastic.
After the convoy started again, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed a little.
"What did Steven, Joshua and Bishop Kent say to those Orthodox monks? They actually resolved such a dangerous situation"
David asked curiously, still looking frightened.
"It's nothing more than some promises. These have nothing to do with us and we don't need to care."
Ye Tian said with a smile.
In a short time, the tripartite joint exploration convoy arrived at the reserved hotel and stopped at the door of the hotel.
At this time, the entrance to and around the hotel was surrounded by many Ethiopian Orthodox monks and believers in white robes, and it was overwhelming.
Fortunately, the Tiren Formation was well prepared. They sent a large number of soldiers to form two human chains hand in hand, and forcibly opened a passage through the crowd.
When the tripartite joint exploration convoy passed through this passage, the Orthodox monks and believers on both sides shouted protest slogans and even shouted curses. They were all extremely angry.
Seeing this scene, everyone in the tripartite joint exploration team felt anxious and very nervous.
Fortunately, no accidents occurred, and the convoy arrived at the hotel door smoothly.
Immediately afterwards, Seaman led a large number of heavily armed security team members out of the car, quickly dispersed, and became alert.
After confirming that the scene was safe, Ye Tian and David, as well as Joshua and Bishop Kent, got out of their respective cars and walked into the hotel.
Other members of the tripartite joint exploration team also got off the car one after another and began to carry various luggage and exploration equipment from the car to prepare to enter the hotel.
As soon as Ye Tian and the others entered the hotel, they met a group of people.
Among them were senior TPLF officers in military uniforms, Tigray officials in suits and ties, and Orthodox monks in robes.
The reason why these Ethiopians appeared here was for the tripartite joint exploration team.
After everyone met, there was naturally some introduction and polite greetings.
The representative of the Tianjin Formation who came with the joint exploration team introduced the identities of these Ethiopians.
Afterwards, he introduced the identities of Ye Tian and Joshua.
When Ye Tian was introduced, these Ethiopians looked at him with fear.
One of the Orthodox monks in his sixties said with a serious expression:
"Mr. Steven, we have heard some stories about you and your company, and we have a certain understanding of you.
It is undeniable that you are the top professional treasure hunter in the world, your company is the best treasure hunting company, and you have created countless amazing miracles.
But wherever you go, you have also brought great damage to many places, and even looted the treasures accumulated over the years in some places, leaving only devastation.
Axum is a religious holy city. We can allow you to explore here, but you cannot cause wanton destruction. That is not allowed.
During your exploration in Axum, we will keep an eye on your every move, with the purpose of protecting this religious holy city."
After listening to the translator’s retelling, Ye Tian pondered for a moment and then said with a smile:
"Obviously, you have a deep misunderstanding of me and the Intrepid Exploration Company. We are not robbers who do all kinds of evil, and we have never thought of plundering any place.
On the contrary, all countries and places that have cooperated with us have achieved huge benefits, including Honduras, France, Egypt and Ethiopia!
None of the acts of sabotage you mentioned were caused by us on our own initiative. We will only take self-defense actions when encountering unprovoked attacks. That is our right.
Aksum is a religious holy city, which I know very well. During the exploration of Aksum, we will try our best to protect this holy city and not destroy every plant or tree here."
Listening to his words, the faces of the Ethiopians at the scene softened a bit.
Next, Axum’s deputy mayor in charge of culture and tourism suddenly interjected:
"Stephen, your three-party joint exploration team came to Axum to explore Solomon's treasure and the Ark of the Covenant, but as we all know, the Ark of the Covenant is enshrined in the Church of St. Mary of the Sea on Mount Zion.
In this case, where do you plan to find Solomon’s treasure and the Ark of the Covenant? Personally, do you think Solomon's treasure and what you call the Ark of the Covenant will be found in Aksum? ”
After listening to the translation, Ye Tian smiled and shook his head.
"I'm very sorry, Mr. Mayor, I can't answer these questions of yours. Here I want to make a public statement that our company will avoid all questions related to religion.
In this exploration operation, we are only responsible for exploration and are not concerned about other things. You can discuss these issues with Israel and the Vatican, that would be more appropriate,"
As he spoke, he gestured to Joshua and Bishop Kent next to him.
Next, the Ethiopians asked some more questions.
Same as before, as long as it was related to religion, Ye Tian would avoid it and not make any response.
After discussing for a while in the hotel lobby, Ye Tian and his group went upstairs.
Looking at the backs of them leaving, the expressions of these Ethiopians were very solemn, and there was a bit of worry in each of their eyes.
……
Same as before, after entering the hotel suite, Ye Tian immediately asked Cole and the others to carefully check every room, not sparing any corner, to avoid being monitored and eavesdropped.
The Intrepid Exploration Company did not have many employees and security personnel coming to Aksum this time, and there were not many rooms in total.
It didn't take long for Cole and the others to complete the inspection.
Compared with before, there were far fewer surveillance and listening devices found this time, only four or five.
Afterwards, Ye Tian asked Cole and the others to make some arrangements.
They placed many surveillance cameras in the corridors, outside the doors of the rooms where everyone stayed, outside the windows, and on the roof of the building to monitor all these places.
In addition, they also deployed some anti-monitoring and listening equipment, just in case.
After doing this, Ye Tian summoned everyone to his room.
When everyone arrived, he said:
"Everyone has just seen the situation in Axum. The atmosphere here is very tense. It can be said that everyone in this city is full of malice towards the tripartite joint exploration team.
In view of this, in the next few days, everyone must not move alone. Leave the hotel and go somewhere else. It is best to stay in the hotel and don’t go anywhere. Let’s act together.
How long we will stay in Axum is not yet certain. During this period, everyone’s safety is the most important. Compared with it, the legendary Solomon’s Treasure and the Ark of the Covenant are not important! ”
"Understood, Steven, we will be careful"
Everyone responded in unison, and everyone's expression was very solemn.
Next, Ye Tian gave some other instructions before letting everyone disperse and go back to their rooms to rest.
Afterwards, he packed his luggage and officially checked into this suite.
After packing his things, he started a video call with Betty to report to his family that he was safe.
On the phone, Betty repeatedly warned him to pay attention to safety.
The family also learned about the tension between the Ethiopian government and Tigray through the news, so they were very worried.
All Ye Tian can do is try to comfort his family and tell them not to worry.
And tell his family that there are many trustworthy armed security personnel around him who will definitely protect his safety.
Not long after, I will return to China and reunite with my family.
After watching the video for about half an hour, Ye Tiancai reluctantly hung up the phone and went to wash up.
As before, for safety reasons, all water and food during our stay in Aksum were purchased by Israelis and delivered to the hotel.
Even everyone’s washing water is the same.
Not only that, all fresh water and food sent by the Israelis have to undergo several strict inspections.
Everyone can use it only after it is confirmed to be safe and non-toxic.
After washing up, not long after coming out of the bathroom, Joshua and Bishop Kent came to visit together.
After entering the room, everyone chatted for a few words and then got down to business.
"Steven, it's still early today. In the afternoon we are going to go to the Church of St. Mary of Mount Zion to hold talks with representatives of the Orthodox Church and Tigray, as well as the TPLF and Aksum.
If the three-party joint exploration team wants to successfully launch operations in Aksum and explore the remaining parts of Solomon's treasures and the Ark of the Covenant, it must obtain the cooperation from the above aspects, otherwise it will be difficult to move forward.
Would you like to participate in the meeting this afternoon? You can also take this opportunity to go on a field trip to the Church of St. Mary of Mount Zion, which is one of the destinations to explore! ”
Joshua explained his purpose, and Bishop Kent nodded.
Ye Tian did not respond immediately, but pondered for a moment before saying:
"I can follow you to the Church of St. Mary of Mount Zion. I am very interested in this church, which is supreme in the hearts of Ethiopians and houses the Ark of the Holy Relic.
If possible, I would like to take a look at the situation there. Maybe I will find something. If the Ark of the Covenant is really enshrined in St. Mary's Church, this joint exploration operation can be ended.
Of course, I cannot see the Ark of the Covenant, so I have no way of judging whether the Ark of the Covenant enshrined in St. Mary's Church is genuine or not, but I hope to find some other useful clues.
As for the afternoon meeting, it will definitely involve many religious issues, so I will not participate, but I will send my staff and assistant lawyers to attend to ensure our interests."
"Okay, Steven, I'll make arrangements later. Let's go to St. Mary's Church in Mount Zion together in the afternoon"
Joshua nodded in response.
Next, they discussed for a while the upcoming joint exploration operation and how to deal with the fanatical Orthodox monks and believers outside.
After discussing for about twenty minutes, Joshua and Bishop Kent left.
As soon as they left, Ye Tian took out his mobile phone and started talking to the outside world.
As calls were made one after another, the armed security personnel hired by him to sneak into Aksum in advance immediately took action.
Soon, these guys dressed up as Orthodox monks and believers, wore white robes, secretly carried various weapons and ammunition, and rushed to various commanding heights in Aksum City.
Their key target is the most important religious shrine in Axum, the Church of St. Mary of Mount Zion.
After arriving at these locations, they quickly hid and waited for Ye Tian's orders in secret.
After making these arrangements, Ye Tian called Cole into the room again and asked him to cooperate with Seaman to prepare for the afternoon trip and meeting.
After Cole left the suite, he dialed Matisse's satellite phone and began to inquire about the recovery of World War II shipwreck treasures on Lake Tana.
"Steven, just at noon today, two reckless fools, wearing diving suits and holding diving propellers, tried to approach the sunken treasure salvage site, but ended up feeding the Nile crocodiles in the lake.
As soon as those two idiots left the fishing boat they rented, they were dragged into the lake by the Nile crocodile that suddenly jumped out. They died miserably. No one in the same boat with them dared to go into the lake anymore. ! ”
Mattis reported on the situation on the other side of Lake Tana.
Hearing this, Ye Tian couldn't help but laugh.
"That's their own death. No one is to blame. I hope they can warn the other guys and make them give up their unrealistic fantasies.
Let’s talk about the situation on Lake Tana. As far as I know, the news that this treasure left over from World War II is hidden in Lake Tana has reached the ears of many people.”
"Yes, Steven, there are more unidentified ships arriving in this area than yesterday, and many ships are on their way here. Those guys have obviously received news of the treasure.
Fortunately, those guys didn’t rent any decent boats. Most of the boats they rented were fishing boats from surrounding fishermen. They had limited displacement and no professional salvage equipment, so they did not pose much of a threat to the joint exploration fleet."
“These guys basically don’t have to worry. Not only can they not rent a decent boat, they also have no experience in deep-diving salvage. If they want to **** this treasure left over from World War II, they can only wait for it to land!
When you have cleaned and salvaged all the treasures from the sunken ship at the bottom of the lake, I will provide a safe evacuation route and use the thick fog on the lake to easily get rid of everyone! ”
"In addition to numerous fishing boats, a seaplane also appeared today. It flew over the waters where the salvage operation was ongoing, took some photos of the scene, and then flew to Bahir Dar.
As far as I know, the person who rented this seaplane was that **** Cook’s Golden Eagle Exploration Company. Apparently, that **** Cook also received the news and knew that this treasure left over from World War II was in Lake Tana."
"This **** Cook is really haunting. It seems that I am going to find an opportunity to teach this **** a lesson so that he can remember a little longer and stay away from us in the future.
But you have to be careful about this bastard. Their company still has a certain strength, and they have many talented people, and they are ruthless and capable of doing anything."
"Understood, Steven, I have people keeping an eye on Cook and his men. If they dare to fly a seaplane over the fleet again, I don't mind using a needle anti-aircraft missile to greet them!! ”
Mattis responded, with a hint of cruelty in his words.
After chatting for a while, Ye Tian ended the call.
Then he walked to the window, stood on the side of the window, and looked at the situation below the hotel.
The news of the tripartite joint exploration team's arrival in Axum has spread completely. More and more Orthodox monks and believers are gathering around this hotel, and many more people are coming here.
Looking down from upstairs, the hotel entrance and the surrounding streets were all white and crowded with Orthodox monks and believers in white robes. The scene was quite astonishing.
Not only that, these people continued to protest and demonstrate, and even shouted curses.
The resulting huge sound was deafening and resounded throughout Axum!
