Chapter 1838: The King's Equipment

Ye Tian took out the soft cloth he had used before again and gently wiped off the thick layer of moss and dust on the top of the box, revealing the box that was covered underneath.

This is a copper box, under the erosion of long years, and in such a damp and cold environment, it has long been rusted and lost its former appearance.

Next, Ye Tian wiped off the moss and dust from the rest of the box.

What is presented in front of everyone's eyes is a rusty copper box, which has a sense of history!

The various decorations, inscriptions, and engraved patterns that may exist on the box are completely covered with layers of patina, and nothing can be seen!

If you want to see these contents and understand the value of this box, you can only find out if you completely remove the patina attached to it!

The metal helmet of the leper King Baldwin IV and the leprosy mask were less corroded, but they were also covered with a layer of patina.

In front of this bronze chest hangs a medieval-style silver lock, painted with a cross carved into it, and some elaborate patterns, the only thing on the chest that is not rusty.

Seeing this silver lock, Ye Tian did not immediately open it, but looked down and admired it.

David and the Bishop of Kent, both standing nearby, looked down with interest at this antique artifact from the Middle Ages.

"Steven, this lock looks pretty good, it should be considered an antique artifact, if possible, it's best not to damage this lock when opening this chest"

Bishop Kent whispered, his eyes shining.

Although he didn't know how much the medieval lock was worth, he did know that it was possible that the chest contained Baldwin IV's crown, the Christian relic!

That's why it's enough!

If the Christian relics are really in this box, then everything inside and outside this box will be doubled in value and given a special meaning!

That's why he's so interested in the silver lock.

Ye Tian turned his head to look at the Bishop of Kent, then nodded with a smile and said:

"Of course, Bishop of Kent, even if there is no Baldwin IV's crown in this chest, and this silver lock has nothing to do with the Christian holy relic, I will not easily break this silver lock.

Based on its relationship with the leper King Baldwin IV, as well as its long history and exquisite craftsmanship, it is also an antique of great value, worth at least half a million dollars.

But here's a premise, it's the same inside as the surface, it's made of sterling silver, it's not rusty, and I can open it smoothly so that I don't have to destroy it, which is great.

It would be a shame if the inside of it was completely rusted, and I would have to cut this lock, which was nothing compared to what was stored in this chest!"

Hearing this, both the Bishop of Kent and David nodded slightly, and there was no disagreement.

As he spoke, Ye Tian had already taken his backpack and took out a delicate leather bag from it, which was a set of special lock-picking tools, which were extremely exquisite.

As he pulled two gleaming alloy paddles out of his kit and shoved them into the keyhole of the silver lock, he began to flick them slightly.

Bishop Kent's eyes suddenly widened like cowbells, and he was completely dumbfounded!

"It seems that good luck has always been with me, very lucky, this silver lock is made of sterling silver, there is no rust inside, only very jerky, there is no difficulty in opening it!"

Ye Tian said with a smile, his tone was a little proud, not without showing off.

Before the words fell, his performance was over.

"Smack"

With a crisp sound, the delicate silver lock made in the Middle Ages has finally been opened again after more than 700 years.

"Oh my God! How is this possible? It didn't take even ten seconds, it's too fast, Steven, how the hell did you do it? It's amazing, it's incredible!"

Bishop Kent exclaimed in a low voice, his eyes almost flying out of his sockets.

In contrast, David's performance was much calmer, as if he had expected this outcome, and it was not worth making a fuss about it at all.

"Hahaha, Bishop of Kent, don't be surprised, Steven is an amazing guy who always creates incredible miracles that are jaw-dropping.

There was no difficulty for him to open the silver lock in front of him, I have seen with my own eyes that he easily opened an old safe with two metal paddles and a stethoscope!"

David said with a chuckle, introducing Ye Tian's past brilliant achievements.

Bishop Kent looked at Ye Tian again, looked at the silver lock that had been opened, his eyes were still full of incredulity, and his eyes were also full of jealousy.

"I'll go! Steven's a snitch! And the top of the best, is there anything he can't do? Is there any place or anything that can stop him? It's terrible!"

While feeling emotional, the Bishop of Kent also secretly reminded himself not to stand on the opposite side of this guy in front of him and become the enemy of this guy.

With this guy's ruthless methods and omnipotent skills, becoming his enemy is definitely a nightmare that he will never wake up, and he doesn't even know how he died!

After opening the silver lock on the box, Ye Tian held the lock body and twisted it slightly, and then took off the medieval lock and handed it to David next to him.

However, instead of opening the rusty copper chest at once, he told David and Bishop of Kent, who were next to him, to step back a little for safety.

In fact, whether there were traps or dangers in that box, he knew in his heart that this action was just a show, just to make everything seem more reasonable and realistic.

Waiting for David and them to retreat, Ye Tian will take action!

He picked up a crowbar from the toolbox next to him, then stood on the side of the stone platform, pressed the top of the rusty box with one hand and the crowbar in the other, and started to pry the box from the position of the padlock on the box.

In the blink of an eye, the lid of the copper box was pried up, revealing a gap no more than two centimeters wide.

At this moment, Ye Tian suddenly stopped what he was doing, and did not pry open the box directly.

After a pause to make sure that there were no traps in the box, he exerted his strength again and lifted the copper box directly.

The next moment, the contents of this box were finally presented to everyone.

After more than 700 years of sleeping deep underground, the contents of the box have resurfaced and are sure to cause a sensation throughout the world.

Ye Tian returned to the front of the stone platform, glanced at the contents of the box, and then beckoned David and Bishop Kent to come over and looked at the open box together.

The first thing the three of them saw were two wooden chests made of African rosewood, with no locks on them, just a gold buckle.

The corners and edges of the two rosewood chests are covered with gold, and the chests are intricately carved with ornamentation, each with a gold cross in the center of the top, and a symbol of the Kingdom of Jerusalem, also made of gold.

Underneath these two chests lay two knight's swords in scabbards, as well as a triangular shield, which also looked like silver alloy, slightly blackened, and could be easily cleaned.

Through the gap between the two knight's swords and the triangular shield, it is clear what is underneath.

It was a set of chain mail, about one meter three or four long from head to knees, and the wrapping performance looked very good, which could perfectly protect the wearer's head, limbs, and torso.

Like the triangular shield above, this set of chain mail has not rusted, and although it has gone through a long history of more than 700 years, it is still cold and shining, and the style is still the same.

However, the metal used to create this set of chain mail is not a silver alloy, and it is unknown what kind of metal it is for the time being.

This set of chainmail is laid out inside the chest, and there seems to be another set of armor underneath, but only a partial situation can be seen, and if you want to see the whole picture, you can only see it by taking out the chainmail.

Seeing the situation in the box, Ye Tian and the three of them all had bright smiles on their faces.

"Great! As I suspected, the contents of this box were the relics of King Baldwin IV of Jerusalem, and they were full sets of combat equipment, each of which was priceless!"

Ye Tian cheered directly and waved his fist excitedly.

This is an expression of his true feelings, no longer a performance, at most only a little performance.

David and Bishop Kent, who were next to him, were equally excited and lightly slammed their fists in celebration.

Immediately after a brief celebration, the Bishop of Kent could not wait to say:

"Steven, what's in those two gold-encrusted rosewood boxes? Could it be Baldwin IV's crown? Hurry up and open them, I can't wait a second!"

As soon as his words fell, before Ye Tian could respond, Cole's voice suddenly came from the walkie-talkie.

"Steven, the mayor of Larnaca and the bishop of the Greek Orthodox Church are here, and there are quite a few of them, they have just passed through the cordon set up by the Larnaca police and the UN peacekeeping forces, and they will be at the gate of the castle immediately!"

Hearing the announcement, the smile on Ye Tian's face immediately condensed, and his expression quickly turned cold.

Immediately afterwards, he picked up the walkie-talkie and said coldly:

"Roger, Cole, those guys are really coming fast enough, obviously the people who came are not good, you use all kinds of excuses and means such as security checks, to delay the time, and delay it for as long as you can.

The exploration operation on our side is ongoing, and it has reached the most critical time, and how to deal with those guys depends on the results of the exploration on our side, so I ask you to delay time!"

"Understood, Steven, we know what to do, don't worry!"

Cole responded, his tone stark.
