While turning his head to look at the Armenian monk beside him, Ye Tian was also vigilant in his heart, and a look of jealousy flashed in the depths of his eyes.

What made him secretly vigilant was the sect from which Viktor came, the Armenian sect. 、

The Armenian sect was founded by Gregory as the first missionary, and as early as the second century AD, Christianity began to spread widely in Armenia, and its influence expanded rapidly.

At the beginning of the fourth century AD, King Trada III of Armenia made Christianity the state religion, making Armenia the first Christian state in the world.

Unlike all other Christian denominations that believe in the 'Trinity' and 'two attributes', the Armenian sect is an independent Christian church that professes the doctrine of the single attribute, independent of the Christian mainstream.

To put it simply, the Armenian sect does not agree with the leadership of the Vatican, and the two are very different on basic doctrines, if not at odds with each other.

Because of this great division, in history, the Armenian sect was even considered heretical and suffered very terrible persecution.

Compared with other mainstream Christian sects, the Armenian sect is also relatively radical, or more paranoid, which is what makes Ye Tian secretly vigilant.

The Church of the Holy Sepulchre, as an extremely important Christian shrine, is mainly administered by three churches and six denominations.

The three churches are the Roman Catholic Church, the Greek Orthodox Church, and the Armenian Church.

The six denominations are the Roman Catholic Church, the Greek Orthodox Church, the Armenian Church, the Syrian Orthodox Church, the Ethiopian Orthodox Church, and the Coptic Orthodox Church.

The Greek Orthodox Church, the Armenian Church, and the Roman Catholic Church divided most of the property of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre.

Historically, these sects have fought for the property and control of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, and have even led to many bloody conflicts.

It was not until 1757 that the International Arbitration Organization decided that the area under the jurisdiction of each church and the specific property belonged to that church should be determined by the scope of the dispute at the time of the dispute as a permanent scope.

This is roughly equivalent to a cease-fire agreement, in which every nail, candle, and stone in the Church of the Holy Sepulchre is registered and divided among the denominations, and in some places it is a condominium.

However, this paper agreement did not completely stop the conflict between the various churches, and the control of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre is still disputed, but not as fierce as before.

One of the most famous conflicts was related to the Armenian Church, a bloody incident caused by a staircase.

From the main entrance of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, the front courtyard belongs to the Greek Orthodox Church, while the staircase leading to the front court belongs to the Armenian sect.

The point is whether the last step of the staircase, whether it belongs to the extension of the courtyard or the staircase, and the dispute between the two denominations never stops.

In 1920, two priests were even killed.

In addition, outside the window on the second floor of the façade of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, there is a wooden ladder, which was placed by the Armenian sect nearly 150 years ago, and although it is of little use, other sects cannot even touch it.

This is already the case on the outside of the church, and it has intensified inside the church, which is basically a crazy turf grab, and there is no end to it.

As a result of years of strife between the various denominations, the keys to the doors of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre were in the hands of an Arab nobleman, and every morning Arab boys were responsible for opening the gates.

It was precisely because of the above reasons that when he heard that the other party was a monk of the Armenian sect, Ye Tiancai secretly woke up.

This time, I cooperated with the Vatican Holy See to form a joint exploration team to come to Jerusalem to explore the treasures of the Templar Order, and the Armenian Church did not deal with the Vatican.

What's more, the Knights Templar's treasures are rumored to be related to the two holy relics of Christianity, the Holy Grail and the Ark of the Covenant, which tug at the nerves of every Christian believer.

Ye Tian glanced deeply at the Armenian monk beside him, and then said with a smile:

"Good afternoon, Brother Victor, I'm Steven, it's a pleasure to meet you, Jerusalem is a beautiful and holy ancient city, full of history, and I love it here.

You are well informed that our joint expedition to Jerusalem is coming to Al-Aqsa Mosque, but we do not intend to explore it here.

The main reason for this is that Jerusalem and the Al-Aqsa Mosque are highly sensitive, that is, we are only here to look for clues in Jerusalem this time.

Whether the Knights Templar treasure is buried in the Al-Aqsa Mosque or not, I dare not jump to conclusions, and from my personal point of view, I don't want the Templar treasure to be buried there"

Hearing his words, Victor fell silent.

After a few moments, the robed monk whispered:

"Mr. Steven, whether the Templar treasure is buried in the Al-Aqsa Mosque or somewhere else, I want you to remember something.

The Christian relics in the Knights Templar's treasures, which belong to all Christians throughout the world, are of great significance, and they do not belong only to the Vatican and the Holy See."

"I am not in a position to say anything on this point, Brother Victor, as you know, I am an atheist, and I am not concerned with the ownership of the religious relics in the treasure.

What I really care about is the worldly treasures in the Knights Templar's treasures, which are the reward of our brave and fearless exploration company, and as for the ownership of those religious relics, you should go and discuss with the Vatican."

Ye Tian said with a smile, indicating his position.

Having said this, Victor couldn't say anything more, he glanced at Ye Tian deeply, and then changed the topic and began to introduce the Holy Sepulchre Church to Ye Tian.

After a few more conversations, the senior monk of the Armenian Church took his leave and went elsewhere.

After David and the others finished visiting the Holy Sepulchre and touched the marble in the Holy Sepulchre with their own hands, Ye Tian and the others also left the Holy Sepulchre Church and returned to the hotel not far away.

In the blink of an eye, it was close to nine o'clock in the evening.

Jerusalem, which had been noisy for a day, had calmed down, and the heavy smell of gunpowder smoke that had previously permeated the air had gradually dissipated, and the atmosphere of the whole city had become a little more relaxed and less tense.

After dinner, Ye Tian and the others sat in the living room, drinking coffee and discussing how to carry out the next action.

As he spoke, Bishop Kent and Leonardo walked into the living room.

After a few pleasantries, the Bishop of Kent got to the point.

"Steven, after an afternoon of coordination and discussion, we have reached an agreement with the relevant parties that tomorrow we can go to the Al-Aqsa Mosque to gather information about the treasures of the Knights Templar.

However, how many people we can enter, how long we will stay in the Al-Aqsa Mosque, and what we can do will not be decided on the spot until we arrive at the Al-Aqsa Mosque tomorrow!"

Hearing this, Ye Tian's eyes immediately flashed with surprise.

"Great! Just let me enter the Al-Aqsa Mosque and look where the Knights Templar once lived, and I'm sure I'll find something, unless there's really no clue there!"

The Bishop of Kent then went on to say a number of other things that were related to the joint exploration that would take place tomorrow.

When he finished speaking, Leonardo immediately continued:

"Steven, the Israeli Mossad has just briefed us on some information, and I think it is necessary to inform you so that you can respond before you are caught off guard.

The Teutonic Knights and the Knights Hospitaller each sent a group to Jerusalem, and they arrived in Jerusalem this afternoon, following us closely. Apparently the comer is not good.

Spin-off groups of the Knights Templar, such as the Jesuits in Portugal and some descendants of the Knights Templar in France and Scotland, also arrived in Jerusalem.

Two important figures from the mysterious religious group that we at the Vatican have been keeping an eye on, the Xunshan Monastery, are also present today at Tel Aviv's Ben-Gurion International Airport,......"

Hearing the news reported by Leonardo, Ye Tian and David immediately looked at each other and smiled.

They already knew these things, and they knew more and more about them than Leonardo, even more than the Mossad of Israel!

"Wow! There are so many people here, it's a gathering of clouds! This treasure hunt has just begun, and it's so exciting!

Ye Tian said with a smile, without the slightest worry on his face.
