After a burst of exclamations, Joshua looked at Ye Tian and said in a trembling voice with excitement:

"Steven, can you give us a good look at and study this seven-branch bronze candlestick and this gold pendant, they are well-deserved national treasures of Israel, they are so important!"

Ye Tian looked at the high-ranking Israeli official, and then glanced at the Israelis who had fallen into madness at the scene, and then nodded with a smile and said:

"Of course, Joshua, of course you can admire and study these two treasures, but only in this antique shop, and not too long, it seems that it is evening, and we should return to the hotel!"

"Okay, Steven, thank you so much for your generosity, and thank you very much for discovering these two Second Temple artifacts and making them shine again!"

Joshua nodded hurriedly, and thanked Ye Tian.

When he said this, you can imagine what his mood will be, and in addition to being excited, he must also be heartbroken to the extreme.

This is the holy weapon of the Second Temple, the national treasure of Israel! It is also a holy weapon common to all Jews, and it actually fell into the hands of this fellow Steven, can it not make people feel heartache!

Immediately after receiving permission, Joshua took the gold pendant with trembling hands, and then admired and studied it with several other Israeli antique dealers and antiquities experts.

The moment he received the gold pendant, Joshua's eyes even burst into tears with excitement, but fortunately they didn't flow down his cheeks!

The other Israelis did not fare much better, each with a feverish expression, a flushed face with excitement, and eyes as bright as searchlights.

However, when they touched the bronze candlestick of the seven branches and the golden pendant, the state of the whole person immediately changed, and they instantly became respectful and solemn.

After handing the gold pendant to Joshua, Ye Tian was ready to take a few steps back to make room for those crazy Israelis.

He had just taken two or three steps back when a mournful, almost pleading voice suddenly came from beside him.

"Steven, can I exchange this seven-branch bronze candlestick for whatever price you want, as long as I can afford it, I can exchange it for this antique shop and all my possessions!

As long as I can exchange this seven-branch bronze candlestick, even if my family is bankrupt, I will not hesitate to do it, this seven-branch bronze candlestick and gold pendant are too important, I don't want to become a sinner of the nation!"

Needless to say, it was Carl, the owner of the antique shop, who said this.

Ye Tian turned his head and looked at the unlucky man with pity, then shook his head with a smile and said:

"I'm afraid not, Carl, this antique shop of yours and all your possessions combined are estimated to be worth the value of a lamp in this bronze candlestick, and it is far from the same!"

Hearing this, Carleton smiled miserably, then nodded in despair and said:

"That's true, this is the holy weapon of the Second Temple, how can my little property be compared to it, it's normal that you don't agree to exchange, if it's me, I won't exchange it!"

"Actually, you don't have to be too depressed, Karl, the discovery of this artifact and the token of King Herod today can be said to be something to celebrate, and you also have a credit for it.

As you know, I am a treasure hunter by profession, and treasure hunting is my business, and this bronze candlestick and gold pendant are sacred objects for you Jews, and I do not intend to collect them.

I know a lot of Jewish super-rich people, like the Rockefellers, the Morgans, and Bloomberg, who used to be known as the 'New York Executive,' and we all do business.

As long as the price is reasonable, I will sell this bronze candlestick and gold pendant, and as for the one who will take these two holy objects, it will be up to the Jewish super-rich man to compete with each other!"

Ye Tian smiled and comforted Carl, and also showed his fangs.

Hearing this, the eyes of all the Jews in the antique shop lit up, and everyone gasped.

They saw the hope of keeping these two holy artifacts, and they knew very well that one or two Jewish super-rich people must be slaughtered by this bastard Steven!

Karl, whose eyes were full of despair and pain, and even lifeless, flashed a ray of hope in his eyes again, and even shed tears of excitement under the mixture of joy and sorrow!

After a few more conversations, Carl couldn't wait to go up and admire the gold pendant.

Ye Tian took two steps back, came to David's side, and began to explain to them the story behind the bronze candlestick and gold pendant.

"Herod the Great, also known as Herod the Great I and King Herod, was the acting king of the Roman Empire in the Jewish province of Jerusalem, a Jewish-Arab mestizo from the mountains of Edom.

He was subservient to Rome and under the protection of the Roman Empire, but he was a national hero and even a saint of the Jews, and it was under his rule that the ancient kingdom of Judea ushered in its final glory"

"We certainly know Herod the Great, who in the New Testament is a cunning and murderous tyrant, one of the most famous representatives of worldly tyrants!

In order to get rid of the prophesied newborn Jesus, who would become the King of the Jews, King Herod the Great ordered the slaughter of all male babies under the age of two in Bethlehem and the surrounding area."

David deliberately lowered his voice to avoid being heard by the Israelis in the antique shop.

Ye Tian nodded slightly, then continued with a smile:

"It is true that King Herod the Great killed his wife and the love of his life, Miriam I, and his three sons, for his brutal cold-bloodedness and merciless killing.

Even Octavian, a close friend of King Herod the Great and a Roman emperor who valued family affection, heard that King Herod had killed his three sons, and he could not help but joke, 'It is better to be Herod's pig than to be his son!'

With the development of Christianity and the control of the right to speak, the tyrant image of King Herod has gradually become deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and has become a typical villain king image in the West.

But it is undeniable that despite the rule of the Romans, Herod the Great still built a powerful and rich Jewish state with his own hands with his excellent statecraft.

Under his rule, the culture and wealth of the Jewish state reached a height that was difficult to attain, so to speak, the Herod dynasty, which lasted for a hundred years, was the last glory of the ancient Jewish kingdom.

The rebuilding of the Second Temple was the grandest miracle of King Herod's life, allowing him to win the hearts and minds of the Jews as a half-breed and reach the highest point in his life.

The name engraved on the gold pendant, Miriam, was the princess of the Maccabees of the Jewish kingdom, who was said to be of breathtaking beauty and the love of King Herod the Great.

King Herod had two wives in his life, the first was Miriam, that is, Miriam I, King Herod the Great loved Miriam all his life, but Miriam wanted to destroy Herod completely until he died.

This kind of relationship is destined to be a tragedy, Miriam has always wanted to restore the rule of the Maccabees, and finally forced Herod to make up his mind to kill the woman he loves for 'adultery' out of nothing.

Before her death, Miriam's face did not change, she showed her noble lineage and inheritance in the most elegant way, and after killing Miriam, King Herod the Great wept bitterly, and almost went crazy because of the excessive grief.

He kept Miriam's body in honey and when he missed her, he looked at her as if she were alive, and after Miriam's death, King Herod the Great married another Miriam, Miriam II.

Miriam II was also from the Maccabees, a political marriage, and it was the two marriages with the Maccabees that gave King Herod the Great the right to inherit the kingdom of Israel,......"

Next, Ye Tian continued to introduce the seven-branch bronze candlestick and the hidden story behind the golden pendant.

Under his explanation, a grand historical picture of the Jewish kingdom in the first century BC gradually unfolded and was displayed in front of everyone's eyes.

There are wars and killings, grievances and hatreds, sinister and treacherous palace politics, and lingering and sympathetic, touching love that makes people sigh, listening to David, they are all moved and addicted!

On the other hand, Joshua and the other Israelites were fascinated by the seven-branch bronze candlestick and the token of King Herod's promise.

In the blink of an eye, more than half an hour has passed.

The Israelis, who had fallen into obsession, gradually came to their senses.

Joshua reluctantly withdrew his gaze from the two holy weapons, and then turned around and walked over to Ye Tian.

Before he could gain a foothold, the high-ranking Israeli official restrained his excitement and went straight to the point.

"Steven, I won't ask about the valuation of these two holy objects, it doesn't make sense! I just want to ask, how can I keep these two holy objects in Israel, in Jerusalem?

These are the great treasures of the nation of Israel and the sacred relics of all Jews, and they must not flow out of Israel, and we will keep them at all costs, as you can understand."

Ye Tian smiled and nodded, and gave the answer very simply.

"Joshua, you can buy these two priceless treasures from me, I'm a professional treasure hunter, this is my commodity, as long as the price is right, there is no reason not to sell it.

As for who will buy it, it can be your Israeli government, it can be the local Israeli super-rich, or the Jewish super-rich from other parts of the world will come forward to buy it!"

We will buy these two holy vessels and keep them in Jerusalem for all the Jews of the world to come and admire, worship and admire!"

Joshua said categorically, his tone was extremely firm, and his eyes were extremely fanatical.

Next, Ye Tian asked Joshua and them to appreciate these two priceless treasures for a while, then put away the gold pendant, reassembled the bronze candlestick by himself, and prepared to leave here and return to the hotel!

When they walked out of the antique shop with these two holy vessels, they saw such a shocking scene.

The Jews of Jerusalem seemed to have come to this street, and the water that surrounded the place was flooded, and everyone was staring at the door of the antique shop with an excited expression, and everyone's eyes were extremely hot!

Some of the guys in the crowd, even with tears of excitement, and some devout Jews, were praying in low voices.

Opposite the main entrance of the antique store, Ye Tian and the others also saw a few very familiar faces, which were the Deputy Prime Minister of Israel and a number of senior Israeli government officials.

Seeing this scene at the door of the antique shop, even Ye Tian, who had already received the news and was accustomed to seeing the wind and waves, couldn't help but be secretly speechless.

Perhaps because they were afraid of damaging the holy weapons, these Israelis were more restrained, and they didn't rush up in a swarm, asking Ye Tian to keep the two holy weapons, and even snatch them directly!

They just stared at Ye Tian tightly, staring at the box he was carrying in his hand, and they couldn't wait to see through the metal trolley box and see the seven-branch bronze candlestick inside!

Ye Tian quickly glanced at the scene, then nodded at the high-ranking Israeli officials across the street, and then took David and the others into the car and left here.

Escorting them away was an entire Israeli army, immense and impressive.

At the same time as they left here, the news that Ye Tian had discovered the Second Temple Artifact and the Great Herod's love token had spread like the wind throughout the world, causing a huge sensation.
