Chapter 1598: The Holy Grail and the Ark of the Covenant
The dinner was simple, with lackluster dishes, no wine or music, and was very low-key unlike some of the other grand welcome dinners.
These clergy from the Vatican and the Holy See don't know how they behave behind people, but at this moment, they are showing a pure heart and few desires, which is respectable.
Although it was not a grand dinner, the attendees were very heavy
Needless to say, the protagonist of the dinner was none other than His Holiness the Pope, who was the central figure of the whole dinner and the focus of everyone's attention
By the way, several high-ranking Vatican clergy around him, such as the Bishop of Kent, also became one of the focal points of the scene.
In addition to these clergy from the Vatican, the President of the United States and the First Lady also attended the welcome dinner hosted by the Diocese of Boston, and made a speech before the dinner began
In addition, the party was attended by American religious leaders, senior government officials from Boston and Massachusetts, as well as religious leaders, as well as a few celebrities
Of course, this also includes Ye Tian and Betty, David, as well as Matthew and Evelyn.
Without exception, everyone who attended the dinner was dressed up.
All the men wore suits and leather shoes, basically wearing dark three-piece suits with bow ties, neat appearance, courteous and almost impeccable
The ladies all appeared at the welcome dinner in their most elegant state, dressed in long dresses and light makeup
During the dinner, except for Ye Tian and a few others, everyone else was very excited and cautious
By the time the dinner was over, it was nearly ten o'clock in the evening.
This was followed by another social reception.
As people raised their glasses and began to talk and drink to the sound of elegant pianos, they found His Holiness the Pope and the President of the United States walking into a room next to the ballroom
Immediately after, under the leadership of Cardinal Kent, Ye Tian and David also walked into the room and closed the door, blocking everyone's sight
Seeing this scene, everyone still doesn't know that the Pope and the President must have something very important to talk to that guy in Steven, maybe this is the highlight of tonight
But no one can guess what the talks will be, including the clergy from the Vatican
After entering the room and sitting down on the sofa, Ye Tian first looked at the situation in the room.
In addition to himself and David, there were four other people in the room.
These four men are the Pope and the President of the United States, Cardinal Kent and Leonardo, the priest in his forties.
Obviously, to be present on this occasion and to participate in this meeting is enough to show that Leonardo is also a confidant of the Pope, just like Cardinal Kent.
When he glanced at the few people in front of him, when his gaze swept over the President of the United States, Ye Tian deliberately paused for two seconds and nodded lightly at the President of the United States
Although he didn't say anything, everyone in the room instantly understood what he meant, there were no fools here, everyone was a human spirit
The next moment, the Pope himself explained:
"Steven, what I want to discuss with you today, as you must have guessed, is the matter that Kent talked to you about before and entrusted your company to explore the treasures of the Templar Order.
About this, in Washington. I have already communicated with Mr. President, and I have no intention of hiding it from Mr. President, after all, this is the United States, and it is impossible to hide it.
Besides, in this matter, it is likely that Mr. President will need to come forward to help coordinate relations and mediate some conflicts, which is why Mr. President is here."
As he spoke, the Pope nodded lightly at the President of the United States.
The president of the United States also responded, and the man smiled and nodded:
"Your Majesty, Steven, you can talk as you please, don't care about my existence, just treat me as a listener
Growing up, I had heard countless legends about the Knights Templar and even wanted to be one of them
Not only me, but I believe that all children living in the Western world have dreams of becoming a Templar and fighting with swords in all directions.
However, the Knights Templar as we know about it are all literary, and I would love to hear what you professionals think of the Knights Templar.
I've been famous for the Knights Templar's treasures, one of the most famous treasures of the Middle Ages, and I'd love to know about it."
Hearing this, what else could Ye Tian say
He looked deeply at the Pope and the President of the United States, then smiled and nodded:
"In that case, it is better to be respectful, Your Majesty, we can start this talk."
The Pope nodded slightly, and then got to the point, without the slightest bit of mud.
"Steven, Kent approached you earlier about entrusting your company with the exploration of the Templar Order's treasures, and he said that you seemed to have some concerns and did not decide whether to accept the commission.
Now that we're sitting here face to face, can you talk more about your concerns that we can talk about together and try to solve them?"
"Okay, Your Holiness Pope, then I'll tell you about it."
Ye Tian smiled and nodded, and then threw out his own question.
"First of all, if you want to explore the treasures of the Knights Templar, you can't avoid the two holy relics of Christianity, the Holy Grail and the Ark of the Covenant, and the treasures of the Templar Knights are inextricably linked to these two sacred relics
It is even possible that the Holy Grail and the Ark of the Covenant are hidden in the Templar treasure, which would cause a shocking shock if it were to be true and for our company to find the treasure
As we all know, the Holy Grail and the Ark of the Covenant are not only the two holy relics of Christianity, but also the two holy objects of Judaism, and once they are discovered, the question of their ultimate ownership will be a very important one.
Because of the ownership of the Holy Grail and the Ark of the Covenant, there have been countless bloody battles and even large-scale wars in history, and it is not impossible that such a thing will be repeated today
Your Vatican represents Christianity, but how Judaism deals with the power and huge influence of Jews in the United States must be very clear to everyone, and it must not be ignored
Brave Explorer is located in New York and Manhattan, which is known as the nest of American Jews.
What's more, this time it involves the Holy Grail and the Ark of the Covenant, the two holy relics of Judaism, and once the news gets out, all Jews will go crazy about it, and I have to think about it carefully."
When the words fell, the scene immediately fell silent, everyone had different positions and different emotional performances.
The excited eyes of the President of the United States shone brightly, like searchlights, and he almost danced with his hands as if he was not too big to see the excitement
The Pope, Kent, and Leonardo were all lost in thought, and their expressions were quite solemn.
After pondering for a moment, the Pope smiled and said:
"Steven, it seems that you are well versed in the treasures of the Knights Templar and the legends of the Holy Grail and the Ark of the Covenant
We have considered and discussed this issue when we were at the Vatican, and have come up with some solutions that should avoid unnecessary trouble for you."
"What is the specific method, I will listen to it"
Ye Tian said one after another, his eyes full of curiosity.
How could this matter be so easy to solve, and if it were that easy, the Jews would not have been wiped out in history, and they had been wandering around the world for more than 2,000 years
"As soon as we sign an agreement to entrust the exploration of the treasures of the Knights Templar, I will immediately send an envoy to the Holy Land of Jerusalem to communicate with the relevant high-ranking Judaism and try to reach an agreement.
The same is true for Jewish religious groups and organizations in the United States and elsewhere, and we try to communicate as best we can, especially in the United States, in Manhattan, where Mr. President can also step in to help do the work.
This is not the Middle Ages or earlier, because the possibility of a religious war caused by the Holy Grail and the Ark of the Covenant is largely non-existent, and we in the Vatican will not put our partners at risk.
As long as we do not agree with Judaism, then the contract entrusted with the exploration of the treasure is a dead letter, it will not take effect, you will not have to act on it, and there will be no danger."
The Pope threw out his own solution, which still sounds somewhat feasible.
As soon as his words fell, the US president next to him immediately said:
"Steven, I can help communicate and coordinate with the American Jewish side, I believe it is not that difficult, I am very familiar with the major Jewish organizations in the United States, as well as the major Jewish foundations."
Hearing this, Ye Tian immediately looked at the President of the United States and nodded lightly at the other party.
Of course, you are very familiar with the major Jewish consortia, which are your financiers, and without the full support of the Jewish conglomerates, you can dream of becoming the president of the United States
After complaining a few words secretly, Ye Tian continued:
"Well, the issue of the Holy Grail and the Ark of the Covenant can be put aside for the time being, and I hope you can reach an agreement with the Jews, so let's talk about the next question."
