Chapter 1774: The Holy Land of the Three Sects

In the living room, David and Anderson reviewed the Vatican's draft cooperation agreement word by word, very carefully and carefully, to avoid legal loopholes and various pitfalls, and to prepare for the next negotiations.

Be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years!

Ye Tian knows this truth better than anyone else, and he will not be negligent because the object of cooperation this time is the Vatican.

Ye Tian himself was sitting on the sofa at this time, chatting with the Pope who was sitting on a single sofa next to him.

"Steven, after hundreds of years of research and exploration, we have identified some locations where the Knights Templar's treasures may be buried, you can check them out"

As he spoke, the Pope picked up a white envelope from the coffee table and reached out and handed it to Ye Tian.

Ye Tian stretched out his hand to take the envelope, and then pretended to be excited:

"Okay, to be honest, I'd like to know where the mysterious Knights Templar treasure might be hidden, and for hundreds of years, no one will find out."

Before the words fell, Ye Tian had opened the envelope, took out a piece of bifolded stationery from it, spread it out, and then looked at the list of place names written on the letterhead.

At the first glance, his face changed and became extremely solemn.

Then he looked up at the Pope, as well as the Bishop of Kent and several other cardinals.

"Your Majesty, I must state in advance that we, the Brave and Brave Explorers, will not launch an exploratory operation in Jerusalem, let alone in the Al-Aqsa Ching Zhen Monastery.

The first place written on this piece of paper is the Al-Aqsa Ching Zhen Monastery in Jerusalem, as we all know, Jerusalem is a famous holy place of the three religions, and I don't want to start a religious war!"

Hearing his words, the Pope and the Bishop of Kent couldn't help but be stunned, and their faces became more serious.

David and Anderson, who were reviewing the joint exploration agreement, as well as the two lawyers from the Vatican, all stopped what they were doing and turned their heads to look at Ye Tian, their expressions a little solemn.

After a moment of silence, the Pope smiled and said:

"Steven, I understand your concerns, but rest assured, once we sign a joint exploration agreement, we will coordinate and allow you to enter the Al-Aqsa Ching Zhen Temple to carry out the operation.

Located on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem, Al-Aqsa Ching Zhen was built on the ruins of Solomon's Temple, where the Knights Templar were founded and were stationed there for a long time.

According to our research and research over the past few hundred years, it is possible that the Knights Templar treasure may be buried there, which is why we put the Al-Aqsa Ching Zhen Temple at the top of the list of explorations, and we will be the first to explore."

Ye Tian shook his head, and said in a very firm tone:

"Your Majesty, I believe you should be able to convince the Israelis, the Jews, to allow the joint exploration team to enter the Al-Aqsa Ching temple and carry out the operation, but I don't think you can convince another religion!

The situation of that religion can be said to be extremely complicated, there are many sects within the sect, and there is no shortage of extremists in each sect, and even if you can convince the person in charge of the temple, it is impossible to convince all the sects and everyone.

That's what I'm most worried about, we can go to Jerusalem, if you can reconcile the relationship, we can even enter the Al-Aqsa Ching Zhen Temple, but we're just going there to look for clues, not to explore the treasure.

In the unlikely event that the Templar treasure is indeed buried there, then we will immediately withdraw from the joint exploration operation, and all signed agreements will be voided immediately, and what to do next is up to you, and everything has nothing to do with us."

The living room fell completely silent, and everyone fell into deep thought.

After a long time, the Pope nodded and said:

"Steven, what you say does have some truth, and it's normal to have some concerns, and the situation of that religion is really very complicated, and it is impossible to convince all the denominations, I must admit that.

Although you have this concern, but the Aksa Qingzhen Temple can't be missed, let's take a step back, we dredge up the relationship, you enter the Aksa Qingzhen Temple to look for clues, but do not carry out exploration operations.

If the Knights Templar's treasure is not in the Al-Aqsa Qing Zhen Temple, it will naturally not affect the next joint exploration operation, and if the treasure clue points there, you can withdraw from the joint exploration operation and get out of the matter!"

"Okay! On this point, it must be written in the joint exploration agreement we signed that if we withdraw halfway, we will make a public statement to avoid some unnecessary trouble.

There is also the issue of the distribution of benefits, if we withdraw halfway, it means that we give up the right to benefit, no matter what you find in the treasure, we will not covet it!"

Ye Tian nodded lightly and said, and secretly let out a sigh of relief, somewhat relaxed.

There was a moment of silence before the Pope responded.

"Okay, Steven, all of this can be reflected in the agreement, and to be honest, you guys are so shrewd and always clear-headed, you have to be impressive!"

Next, he went to Jerusalem to explore the treasures of the Knights Templar, and Ye Tian and the Vatican discussed it for a while before ending the topic.

Then, Ye Tian looked at the letter paper in his hand, looked at the place names written on the letterhead, and kept discussing it in a low voice with everyone in the Vatican.

On the other hand, David and Anderson continue to review the joint exploration agreement drafted by the Vatican to ensure the interests of Ye Tian and the Brave Explorer.

It took about half an hour for them to finish their review.

They singled out all the unreasonable clauses and even the inappropriate language from the joint exploration agreement and put them on the table.

Next, it's time for you to negotiate back and forth.

Ye Tian and the representatives of the Vatican began to negotiate and discuss the content of the joint exploration agreement, article by clause, sentence by sentence, to ensure that their own interests are not infringed upon and to maximize as much as possible.

Towards 5:30 p.m., the negotiations, which took several hours, came to an end and a formal joint exploration agreement that fairly reflected the rights and responsibilities of both sides.

Next, Ye Tian, on behalf of the Brave Explorer, and Bishop of Kent, on behalf of the Vatican, signed their respective names on the joint exploration agreement and officially reached cooperation.

As soon as the formal agreement was signed, the Bishop of Kent immediately smiled and asked:

"Steven, when are we going to hold a press conference, announce our plan to jointly explore the treasures of the Knights Templar, and then launch a joint exploration operation to Jerusalem!

To be honest, we can't wait to start a joint exploration operation right away to find the Knights Templar's treasure and find the holy relics in the treasure as quickly as possible!"

Not only him, but also the Vatican people in the living room, one counts as one, and they are all very excited at this time, and their eyes are full of anticipation.

Leonardo, in particular, is even more eager to try.

However, Ye Tian shook his head lightly and said in a good time:

"Don't worry, Bishop of Kent, and the rest of you, there are many places in the city that we haven't visited yet, especially the major antique markets in Rome, and the antique shops and galleries scattered all over the city!

I'm a treasure hunter by profession, and now that I'm in Rome, the Eternal City, I can't miss these places, and it's not too late for us to hold a press conference when we've visited the whole of Rome."

Hearing his words, everyone at the scene couldn't help but shiver and felt frightened.

Rome, a great city, is bound to be ransacked by Steven, just like Milan, Florence, and Paris!

In the next few days, the world of all the antique dealers in Rome will be dark, and there will be no fingers to be seen! God knows how many people will be ransacked and fallen to the knife of Steven!

Then chatting for a while, Ye Tian and the others said goodbye and left, and returned to their residence with the signed joint exploration agreement!
