"There are many mysterious symbols left by the Knights Templar here, just like the legend suggests, but unfortunately, no one can decipher the meaning of these mysterious symbols now!"

Ye Tian said in a slightly regretful tone, his eyes fixed on the many mysterious symbols carved on the wall in front of him.

Next to him stood David and Bishop Kent, as well as Martinez, director of the Louvre Museum, Archbishop of Lyon, and another French man in his sixties.

At this time, they were on top of the tower of a medieval castle, admiring the series of mysterious symbols left by the Knights Templar on the tower's walls!

This ancient medieval Gothic castle is located in the fiefdom of the Comte de Beauge, in the Lonte department of France, the main goal of the joint exploration team's trip to France.

The tower where they were located was the tallest Gothic tower in the castle of Alži, the Alsimi Tower.

Needless to say, the Frenchman in his sixties standing next to Martinez was apparently a descendant of the contemporary Count of Beauge, nephew of Jacques de Molay, the last Grand Master of the Templar Order, and Count Beauge.

And coincidentally, this contemporary count of Beauge, whose name is also Jacques.

It was perhaps a very special and great name for their family, so it was passed down from generation to generation, and in each generation there were several men named Jacques.

Let's not talk about what is happening in the castle of Arzhni, let's go back to yesterday and see what Ye Tian and the others did in the city of Lyon yesterday.

In fact, it is very simple, yesterday from 10 o'clock in the morning to 6 o'clock in the afternoon, Ye Tian and David and several of them have been soaking in the Musée de Lyon, admiring many top artworks displayed in that famous museum.

Even for lunch, they were served at a fast-food restaurant in the museum's lounge area, and they were not willing to leave the Musée de Lyon at all to eat out, which was a pure waste of time.

The reason why they are like this is, of course, because of the top-notch works of art displayed in the Musée de Lyon.

The Musée des Beaux-Arts de Lyon, one of the largest museums in Europe today and the most important museum in France after the Louvre, is affectionately known as the 'Little Louvre'!

Formerly a monastery, the museum is a huge 15,000-square-metre museum that dates back to the 8th century AD and has a history of more than 1,000 years.

Historically, the abbey was famous for its direct papal leadership, not under the orders of the King of France and the Archbishop of Lyon, and all the administrators of the abbey came from the local aristocratic families of Lyon.

Among them are the family of the Dukes of Faure, the family of Beauge, the family of the Dukes of Savoy, and many more.

Over time, the clerical power represented by the monastery and the imperial power represented by the king came into conflict, and the relationship behind the two evolved with political disputes, large and small.

In the 16th century, under the strong pressure of King Louis XII of France, the abbey began to decline and gradually lost its prestige!

Another 300 years later, in the 19th century, with the strong support of the local elite of Lyon, the abbey was transformed into the Musée des Galleries de Lyon!

The collection has been expanded several times to become a museum with a large collection of paintings and sculptures by famous artists, showcasing the cultural treasures of Europe to visitors from all over the world.

This prestigious museum houses the finest collection of sculptures and paintings from all over Europe from all eras and the best of them is the European art collection from the 19th to the 20th century.

There are famous representative works of Impressionism such as Monet's "Alkentai Snow Scene" and Renoir's "Portrait of a Young Woman", as well as outstanding works by post-impressionist masters such as Cézanne and Gauguin.

In addition, there are many outstanding paintings by famous artists such as Picasso, Degas, Pissarro and Francis Bacon, each of which is a priceless and top-notch work of art.

In the many exquisite courtyards of the museum, there are various sculptures from the ancient Greek and Roman periods to the modern and modern famous sculptors Rodin and Boudel, for visitors to enjoy!

Such a palace of art naturally made Ye Tian linger and reluctant to leave.

While enjoying the many top artworks displayed in the Musée de Lyon, Ye Tian did not miss this excellent opportunity to absorb aura and improve his strength.

By secretly absorbing the aura, he once again increased his strength by a large margin, becoming even more powerful.

By the time he left the Musée de Lyon at 6 p.m., the distance between his eyes and the light of the antique artwork was close to 180 meters, and his perspective ability had also increased a lot.

As for his strength, speed, reflexes, and agility, he has gained a lot of improvements.

In fact, all of his abilities have long exceeded the limits of human beings in the ordinary sense, and there is no need to do any more tests!

When they came out of the Musée de Lyon, it was dusk.

Next, they went to enjoy a dinner with a local Lyon character, and then walked through the old streets of Vieux Lyon, enjoying the night view of Vieux Lyon.

It wasn't until about half past ten in the evening that the group returned to the hotel.

It is worth mentioning that during this day, Ye Tian did not go into any antique shops and galleries in Lyon, nor did he patronize any antique art market to sweep those places!

His behavior made those Lyon antique dealers and gallery owners who had been worried all day breathe a sigh of relief, a little more relaxed, and at the same time very surprised!

While Ye Tian and the others were visiting and admiring the top artworks displayed in the Musée de Lyon, the Bishop of Kent and the others were also busy.

The Bishops of Kent negotiated not only with the French government and the municipality of Lyon, but also with the Catholic Church of Lyon and the municipality of Langtai, in an effort to pave the way for the next exploration!

Of course, this also includes the owner of the castle of Arzhny, the Count of Beauge.

I don't know what the Bishop of Kent promised the French, what conditions did they promise, but the results were very good, and the rest of the exploration will go smoothly without any hindrance.

For Ye Tian, this was enough, he didn't care about the rest!

The night passed, and a new day soon arrived.

The joint expedition departed early in the morning, leaving Lyon and arriving at the Château de Arzhny, located within the jurisdiction of the city of Langtai, to begin their quest to discover the treasures of the Knights Templar.

Leaving Lyon with the joint exploration convoy were accompanied by a large number of heavily armed Lyon policemen, as well as a number of French Yankees who claimed to be overseers but actually had their own evil intentions.

Among these French are the French Minister of Culture and the close confidant of the French president, as well as Martinez of the Louvre, the Archbishop of Lyon, and a deputy mayor and police chief of Lyon.

Without exception, these guys are all full of anticipation and excitement, hoping to rock the world again by discovering the Templar treasures at Alzhny Castle today!

In this way, the city of Lyon is bound to make a big splash, attracting a lot of attention and tourists from all over the world.

While full of anticipation, the depths of each of their eyes also flashed with greed, and they couldn't hide it at all.

Once the Knights Templar's treasure appears, the real show will be staged immediately, and Ye Tian knows this better than anyone else!

As for those who came all the way from Rome and coveted the treasures of the Knights Templar, such as the Martyr's Order, the Portuguese Jesuits, the Italian Mafia, and so on.

In addition, the local gangsters, professional treasure hunters, and good-looking idlers in Lyon, etc., all drove behind the joint exploration team and rushed to Langtai City together!

Of course, those media reporters with a keen sense of smell and fear of chaos are also indispensable, and there are more of them than before!

Let's go back to the Alsimi Tower of Alzhini Castle, after Ye Tian said what he just said, he turned his head to look at the people around him, and looked out through the ancient window on the tower.

Compared to the medieval castle in Larnaca, Cyprus, Alzhni Castle is just as old but in a much better state of preservation, with the castle walls and various historical buildings inside and outside intact.

Around the castle and in the courtyard inside the castle, you can see neatly planned French gardens everywhere, but because it is winter, it looks a little bleak.

As far as the eye can see, the snow-capped Alps, the forests at the foot of the mountains, the villages and towns dotted around, the colorful rural buildings, and the jade-like rivers are all fascinating.

When you look back from a distance, you can see a large number of vehicles of all kinds and different ways, parked on a road leading to the castle, which stretches far away.

The drivers and those who came in those vehicles had already disembarked at this time, some were holding binoculars, some were holding focusing cameras, and some were looking towards the castle with the naked eye.

Although separated by more than two hundred meters, Ye Tian could still feel that the gaze that shot out of the eyes of those guys contained endless greed in each one!

If it weren't for the Lyon police's preparations, they set up a cordon about 200 meters away from the gate of the castle and stopped all those guys, and those guys would have rushed to the gate of the castle.

The gaze continued to recover, and in and around the gates of the medieval castle, Cole and Leonardo had set up a second line of defense, and many security personnel guarded it one by one.

Inside the castle, Jason and many employees of the Brave and Brave Exploration Company are busy, making final preparations for the upcoming exploration operation.

In addition to Jason, there were several people from the French Ministry of Culture and the Diocese of Lyon, as well as the administrators of the Château d'Arzhny, or gardeners.

These people just stood in the courtyard of the ancient castle, looking at Jason with curiosity and their work, and they didn't participate in it, which was also specially requested by Ye Tian!

In the blink of an eye, Ye Tian had a full view of the situation inside and outside the Arzhni Castle, and he also had a general understanding of the situation here.

At this moment, the voice of the current Count of Beauge suddenly came from the side.
