Chapter 1917: Confrontation with the Queen
In the temple church, the Pope and the Queen of England and his wife, as well as the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, were seated at this time, and their main entourage was scattered around.
Without exception, everyone here looked at Ye Tian, and everyone's eyes were full of curiosity, envy and expectation.
"Mr. Steven, could you please give us an introduction? Let us also learn about this Templar treasure that has been sleeping under our noses for more than 700 years, and I am very curious."
The Queen of England said with a smile, although her tone was very calm, but still revealed a little unwillingness and regret.
One of the other Brits at the scene counted one, and the mood was not the same, especially those members of the royal family, everyone was remorseful.
Ye Tian looked at the Queen of England sitting opposite, glanced at the others on the scene, and then nodded with a smile and said:
"Your Majesty, I will tell you about the process of discovering this treasure of the Knights Templar, and the general situation in the treasure, after we arrive at the Templar Church in the morning,......"
Next, Ye Tian began to introduce the process of discovering this treasure, which of course was mixed with a lot of Spring and Autumn brushwork and exaggerated rhetoric.
Especially when introducing the inside of the treasure, he went directly to the treasure and concealed his discovery on the grounds that the clean-up operation had not yet been officially launched and it was not clear what items were in the treasure.
Even so, everyone at the scene was fascinated by it, and secretly sighed one by one, the luck of this guy in front of him was extremely good, incredible!
Perhaps the rumor that spread so far is true, that God will always stand with this lucky fellow and watch over him forever.
But this guy doesn't believe in God at all!
Anyone who thinks of this will feel extremely depressed.
It took four or five minutes for Ye Tianfang to finish his introduction.
As soon as his words fell, the Queen of England continued:
"Steven, I must admit that you are a very lucky fellow, God seems to be always on your side, and good fortune is always with you, which is so enviable.
According to you, you're about to start a clean-up operation, and I would like to ask if you can involve representatives of the British royal family?
Without the slightest hesitation, Ye Tian immediately smiled and shook his head and said:
"I'm very sorry, Your Majesty, but at the very beginning of the signing of the joint exploration agreement between us at Intrepid Exploration and the Vatican, we have agreed not to accept any third party to participate in joint exploration operations.
In the following series of exploration operations, we also followed this agreement, and the governments of Israel, Cyprus, and France have all made such requests, but we have all refused.
The same is true today, since the British Crown and Government have agreed to our joint exploration in these London locations, we should abide by the covenant rather than ask for joint exploration.
But we are not unsympathetic, this is London, the Temple Church belongs to the British royal family, in consideration of this, the British royal family can send someone to the scene to supervise, but the number of people is strictly limited, no more than two"
Hearing his words, except for the queen and his wife, who were still smiling, the faces of the other Brits at the scene couldn't help but change, and there was anger in everyone's eyes.
Without waiting for the Queen of England to respond, and without waiting for the other Brits to attack, the Pope, who was sitting next to the Queen, suddenly interjected:
"Your Majesty, gentlemen, Steven is right, we at the Vatican do have such an agreement with the Intrepid Explorer, and we will not accept any third party to participate in joint exploration operations.
This is one of the prerequisites for the cooperation, and the Joint Exploration Agreement also stipulates that in the event of the discovery of the Knights Templar's treasures, the Christian relics will belong to the Vatican, and all worldly goods will belong to the Intrepid Discovery Company.
When the Bishop of Kent communicated with the relevant parties before, he must have explained this and obtained permission from the relevant departments, otherwise the joint exploration operation would not have been carried out in London.
The Temple Church is a special place, built by the Knights Templar, but for more than 700 years it has been used by English lawyers, and it can be said to be a temple of law.
In such a place, I hope that everyone can abide by the contract and uphold the spirit of the law, and I hope that this joint exploration operation can go smoothly and bring a huge surprise to the world!"
When he said this, the Pope was always pleasant, but his tone was extremely firm and unquestionable.
The voice fell, and the scene was completely silent, and no one spoke.
The queen and his wife were still smiling, looking at the crowd, but the gently twitching facial muscles on their faces were enough to show that their hearts were not as calm as they appeared.
As for the rest of the Brits, including Prince William and the British Prime Minister, their faces became even more ugly, and the anger in their eyes deepened.
However, they couldn't find any reason to refute for a while, and they were silent one by one.
In the end, it was still Ye Tian who broke this calm.
He secretly gave the Pope a thumbs up in his heart before he smiled and said:
"Your Majesty, Honourable Queen, and gentlemen, relax, there is no need to make the atmosphere and emotions so stiff, it seems to me that there are many workarounds in this matter.
I have no right to inquire about what to do with the Christian relics that may exist in this treasure of the Knights Templar, and I will never touch them without permission.
But all the worldly goods in the treasure belong to me, and I have the right to dispose of them freely, and I do not mind leaving them in England.
When the treasure is cleaned up and the amount of gold and silver treasures and antiques is counted, I will open the door to trade and welcome everyone to come and negotiate with me and trade fairly.
The subject of the transaction is the gold and silver treasures and antique artworks from the treasure, which can be traded in cash or exchanged with antique artworks, but they must be Chinese antique artworks.
As we all know, major museums in the UK, many top collectors, as well as the British royal family and some foundations, all have a large collection of Chinese antique art, which is basically a top-quality product.
I'm very interested in Chinese antiques and would love to take them in my pocket and display them in my own museum."
Hearing this, all the Brits on the scene rolled their eyes angrily and complained to themselves one by one.
Steven, this bastard, this is a clear show that the carriage and horses are going to loot the major museums in Britain! Just like the museums he ransacked in France before, he is simply greedy to the extreme!
Although they complained, the faces of many British people at the scene still looked a little better, and the atmosphere eased a lot.
Ye Tian's words fell, and the scene fell silent again.
After a moment, the Queen of England smiled and nodded:
"Your Majesty, Mr. Steven, rest assured that since we have reached an agreement with the Joint Exploration Team to allow you to carry out exploration operations, we will abide by the agreement and will not break the contract.
You can start cleaning up the treasure, the British royal family and the government are no longer required to be involved, just supervision, the royal side is represented by William, and the government side is represented by the Prime Minister.
Here, I have a small request, Mr. Steven, can you show us the contents of this treasure before we leave the Temple Church to satisfy our curiosity"
"No problem, Your Majesty, you are all important people in every day, and it is naturally impossible for you to stay in the Templar Church for a long time and watch us clean up this Templar treasure.
When I first explored the medieval Gothic palace deep underground, I found a few items that could be very important, and I'll bring them to the surface later and we'll open them together.
Among those few items are likely to include those legendary and long-lost Christian relics, and since His Holiness the Pope has been in London, it is natural that he will open them himself.
In addition, I found a few antiques that are closely related to the British royal family, and the person who opened those boxes and put them in front of the world, I think it should be you, Her Majesty.
One more thing, I'm going to broadcast this show live on the Internet for everyone in the world to see, of course, this has to be with your consent, I don't know if you agree or not?"
Hearing this, the Pope immediately chuckled softly, and then turned to look at the Queen of England.
The Queen of England was stunned for a moment, and then said with a helpless smile:
"Steven, it seems that all those rumors about you are true, you are such a cunning fellow, you are clearly going to let everyone in the world supervise our British royal family!
No matter what or how important this Knights Templar treasure is, as long as it's not a Christian artifact, once they appear in front of the live camera, everyone will know that they belong to you."
"Hahaha"
There was a burst of laughter, some hearty, some bitter.
