After dealing with Giovanni and the others, after they left, Ye Tian immediately opened the car door again, took Betty out, and stood on the edge of St. Peter's Square.

Afterwards, led and accompanied by Leonardo and Cardinal Kent, they walked into St. Peter's Square, which was empty in the night.

At this point, they have officially entered the Vatican, the holy place in the hearts of all Catholics in the world, strolling through St. Peter's Square and admiring the majestic and famous historical buildings around them.

During the process, Leonardo naturally assumed the role of a commentator, briefing them on the situation in the Vatican.

"Steven, Betty, this is the Vatican, also known as the Vatican City State, is the smallest and least populated country in the world, only 0.4 square kilometers, with a permanent population of less than 1,000 people.

Although the Vatican is a small country, it is a very important country in the world, its influence is no less than that of any major country, and its economic strength is also very strong, and it has a deep heritage.

The reason for this is that the Vatican is the seat of the Holy See, the center of Catholicism in the world, and the holy place and spiritual home of more than one billion Catholics.

This is the famous St. Peter's Square, and in front of it is St. Peter's Basilica, the largest and most important surviving Catholic church in the world, and the place where the Catholic Church holds its most solemn ceremonies.

To the north of St. Peter's Basilica is the world-famous Sistine Chapel, home to Michelangelo's masterpieces, Genesis and The Last Judgment,......"

While speaking, Leonardo had already led Ye Tian and them to the center of the square, and came to the huge obelisk that was transported from Egypt in 40 AD and was more than twenty-five meters high.

Walking here, Ye Tian first looked up and admired this obelisk from ancient Egypt, and said a few words of emotion.

Immediately after, he suddenly asked an unexpected question.

"Leonardo, I've heard that there are many secret passages under the Vatican, leading in all directions, some of which connect to many buildings here, and some of which connect to the outside world!

There is a famous secret passage that connects to the Castel Sant'Angelo not far away, and I was very interested in these secret passages and wanted to visit them."

When he said this, his gaze swept from the ground of the square as if inadvertently, but a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and it was fleeting, and no one noticed!

Hearing his words, Leonardo and Cardinal Kent couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, not understanding what he meant by this.

After a pause, Leonardo nodded and said:

"That's right, Steven, there are indeed many secret passages under the Vatican, which were built in different historical periods in case of emergency, and their main role is to defend and ensure the safety of the Pope.

I'm sorry, but most of these secret passages are never open to the public, except for a few, so I can't take you on a tour of them."

"In that case, then forget it, although I am very interested in these secret passages, but I can't force people to make it difficult, let's continue to visit, the Vatican at night also has a unique taste"

Ye Tian said with a smile, not minding at all.

Next, Leonardo and his group walked to St. Peter's Basilica in front of them to continue the tour.

When they reached the door of the church, a side door of the church suddenly opened, and the Pope in a robe, with several attendants, walked out of the side door, smiling and full of anticipation!

Obviously, the Pope and his entourage were here to greet Ye Tian and his party.

Seeing this familiar old man, Ye Tian and Betty immediately hurried up to greet them and greeted them warmly.

After greeting each other and greeting each other politely, Ye Tian and the others followed His Holiness the Pope, as well as Leonardo and Kent, into St. Peter's Basilica and disappeared from the square.

The Roman police and cultural relics gendarmes who followed and supervised Ye Tian saw this scene from afar, and they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, a lot of relaxation, but they were also very envious.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it is already midnight, and the entire Vatican is quiet.

Everyone else is asleep, and only the police and guards on duty are still awake, patrolling the places or guarding some important positions, faithfully guarding the tiny nation.

Suddenly, in a hidden corner of the Vatican Garden, a black shadow flashed quickly, and its movements were unusually light and silent, like a civet cat.

In the blink of an eye, the shadow vanished, as if it had never existed.

When this dark shadow reappeared, it was ten minutes later, and he appeared on the edge of Castel Sant'Angelo, a few hundred meters away from the Vatican, and soon disappeared again!

About half an hour later, a 19th-century historic building in Rome suddenly burst into flames, and the fire was so fierce that it almost reflected half of the Roman sky!

The sudden fire made many people in Rome feel terrified and have a feeling that something was wrong, but they didn't know where this feeling came from.

......

Soon, the next day arrived.

The night receded, and the Vatican appeared in front of Ye Tian and them in its truest and most beautiful form, no longer a gloomy castle and an ancient church shrouded in twilight.

Ye Tian and the others did not immediately negotiate with the Vatican to discuss the joint exploration of the treasures of the Knights Templar, but began to visit the Vatican as tourists.

The Vatican may be small in size, but it is home to a myriad of the finest antique artefacts, from ancient Greek and Roman artifacts to a large number of top-notch art treasures from the Renaissance.

The most famous of these are, of course, the two most iconic masterpieces of Michelangelo's life, "Genesis" and "The Last Judgment" in the Sistine Chapel.

And in the Vatican Museums, there are also masterpieces by Leonardo da Vinci and Raphael, as well as works by other top artists of various periods.

The two top artworks that Ye Tian gave to the Vatican before, Raphael's "Madonna" and Michelangelo's "Mourning Christ", are displayed in the Vatican Museums for people to enjoy.

Of course, the Vatican's historic buildings are also very impressive.

Almost every building here is a miracle in the history of Western architecture, an irreproducible treasure that deserves to be appreciated and savored!

After visiting the Vatican, it's time to visit the Eternal City of Rome.

During your visit, you can also browse Rome's antique art markets and wander around the city to see if you can spot a treasure or two.

With a long history of more than 2,000 years, Rome has been the center of the Western world for thousands of years.

In such a city, if there is no hidden treasure, Ye Tian can't believe it.

He believed that with his invincible eyes, he would be able to find something in the Eternal City, perhaps a great surprise, like Napoleon's treasure!

After getting up early in the morning and having breakfast, Ye Tian and the others left their rooms and began to visit around the Vatican, and it was still Leonardo who accompanied them on the tour!

As special guests of the Vatican, as well as future collaborators, they certainly have the privilege of entering many areas that ordinary tourists can't reach, feasting their eyes!

When the time came to eight o'clock in the morning, Ye Tian and they left the Vatican Gardens and came to the entrance of St. Peter's Basilica, ready to be the first wave of tourists to enter the church today.

As soon as he walked here, Ye Tian saw his old friend Giovanni at a glance, as well as the Roman SWAT leader who appeared last night, both of whom looked menacing.

At the same time, the eyes of the two of them were full of doubts!

Why these two guys came, Ye Tian knew better than anyone else.

However, at this time, he could only pretend to be confused, and nodded lightly to these two guys as if nothing happened, which was regarded as a greeting!
