Chapter 1804 is too ugly
Under the leadership of Joshua and other high-ranking Israeli officials, Ye Tian and his party symbolically went through a procedure and successfully passed the last checkpoint set up by the Israeli army on the square in front of the Al-Aqsa Mosque.
Immediately afterwards, they were greeted by fellows from the Martyrdom and the Portuguese Society of Jesus, as well as representatives of other religious organizations.
After a few steps forward, the guys were stopped by the Israeli military police in charge of security and stopped more than a dozen meters away.
At the same time, Ye Tian and the others also stopped, looking at these guys with different backgrounds and ill intentions with great interest.
"Bishop of Kent, Steven, you guys wait here for a while, I'll go check on the situation and I'll be back soon"
Leonardo whispered, offering to ask Ying to check on the situation.
"Okay, you can find out who those guys are and why they come from."
Bishop Kent nodded and said, Ye Tian also smiled and nodded.
After that, Leonardo walked towards those guys with one of his men, while Bishop Kent and Ye Tian stayed where they were, chatting in a low voice while waiting for the results.
Soon, Leonardo walked up to the guys and crossed the cordon to communicate with them, their expressions were relatively calm, and the voice of the exchange was so low that no one else could hear it.
After a few minutes, Leonardo figured out the identities of the guys and turned around and walked back.
"Bishop Kent, Steven, as we expected, the guys outside the cordon are from the Martyrdom and the Portuguese Jesuits, among other religious organizations.
And they're all central figures in the various religious organizations, and they're here for the Templar treasures, and they're asking for a direct conversation with you, what do you think?"
Leonardo whispered a little bit about the situation.
Hearing this, Ye Tian first looked at the guys not far away, then nodded with a smile and said:
"That's fine, let's go over and have a look, I was thinking we'd meet these scheming guys!"
As he spoke, Ye Tian stepped out and walked towards the guys outside the cordon.
Immediately after him, Kent and the others followed.
In the blink of an eye, Ye Tian and the others had come closer, and Leonardo immediately began to introduce the origin and identity of those guys.
"Bishop Kent, Steven, this is Mr. Depardieu from the Martyrdom Order, and the one standing next to him is Mr. Chloe, also from the Martyrdom Order.
These two gentlemen are from the Portuguese Jesuits, Mr. Alexandria and Mr. Luis, and this Mr. Comitas is from the Armenian Church,......"
With Leonardo's introduction, Ye Tian and Bishop Kent stepped forward to shake hands with these guys and introduced themselves, behaving very appropriately and impeccably.
Immediately afterward, Leonardo introduced them to Joshua's high-ranking Israeli officials, as well as to the Israeli religious community.
Hearing the origin and identity of these guys, the expressions of Joshua and the others couldn't help but change and became more and more solemn.
After everyone got to know each other and exchanged a few polite words, some people couldn't wait to get to the point.
"Bishop of Kent, Mr. Steven, I am sure you are also aware of the origins of the Order of Martyrdom, which developed on the open basis of the Templars and is inseparable from the Templar Order.
It stands to reason that the Templar treasure should also belong to our Martyrdom Order, so we strongly request to participate in and oversee this joint exploration of the Templar treasure.
Specifically, with regard to today's exploration of the Al-Aqsa Mosque, we ask that we follow you into the Al-Aqsa Mosque and participate in and supervise this joint exploration of the treasures of the Knights Templar."
Depardieu said with a serious expression, and his request sounded reasonable.
As soon as the words fell, before Ye Tian and the Bishop of Kent could respond, Alexander of the Portuguese Jesuits said:
As we all know, the Portuguese Jesuits were a spin-off of the Knights Templar, which was renamed the Society of Jesus in 1312 after Pope Clement V announced its dissolution of the Templar Order.
When it comes to the relationship with the Knights Templar, our Portuguese Jesuits and the Knights Templar can be said to be in the same vein, and the Knights Templar treasures should belong to us.
Therefore, we in the Portuguese Jesuits strongly demand to participate in the exploration of the treasures of the Knights Templar, to be a third party to the joint exploration operation, and to be eligible to participate in the distribution of the treasures of the Knights Templar."
Hearing this, Bishop Kent and Ye Tian couldn't help but chuckle, a little helpless in their smiles.
The legend of the Knights Templar's treasures has been passed down for more than 700 years, so why did you go there earlier?
For more than 700 years ago, why didn't you guys look for treasure with great fanfare, and one by one they wanted to completely disassociate themselves from the Knights Templar, lest they get into trouble.
Now that we have a great chance of exploring the Templar Order's treasure and finding it, you don't have to worry about getting into trouble, so you can't wait to jump out and start hyping up your relationship with the Templar Order!
This appearance is too ugly, and the abacus is too fine!
Of course, these are the psychological activities of Ye Tian and Bishop Kent, and it is impossible to resort to words.
As soon as Alexander's words fell, the Bishop of Kent smiled and said:
"Mr. Depardieu and Alexander, although this joint exploration of the treasures of the Knights Templar was initiated by the Vatican Holy See, it was the Brave Explorer Company that led this exploration.
So, the requests you just made, such as participating in the joint exploration operation, following us into the Al-Aqsa Mosque, participating in and supervising today's exploration operation, first need Steven's approval!"
As he spoke, Bishop Kent raised his hand and gestured to Ye Tian's side, always with a smile on his face.
This is also an old fox, extremely cunning, and kicked the ball to Ye Tian in the blink of an eye to see how he dealt with the situation in front of him.
Ye Tian did not refuse, he just glanced at the Bishop of Kent, then turned his head to look at Depardieu and Alexander, and then said with a smile:
"Mr. Depardieu, Mr. Alexander, I know very well the relationship between the Martyrdom and the Portuguese Jesuits and the Knights Templar, but that is more than 700 years old.
The Knights Templar began as a monastery founded by nine poor friars led by Hugo de Payin, based in the Al-Aqsa Mosque, to protect pilgrims and attack infidels.
It was founded in 1119, and in 1120, the Kingdom of Jerusalem convened a council of secular nobles in Nablus, which confirmed the Knights' legitimate presence in the Crusader state and defined its basic functions.
In 1127, the French Count of Champagne, who had a close relationship with the Martyrdom Order, gave up his fortune to join the Templar Order, linking the Martyrdom Church with the Templar Order for the first time.
In 1129, the Holy See convened a synod in Troyes, France, at which the then Pope officially recognized the status of the Knights Templar and granted them many privileges.
This meeting was a milestone in the establishment of the Templar Order's statutes, confirming the Templar's legitimacy throughout Christendom and the supreme authority of the Holy See over it.
In 1139, Pope Innocent II formally granted them a privileged position in the form of a papal bull, and the Knights Templar were henceforth accountable only to the Pope, not under the command of the king and local bishops.
They were exempt from paying church tithes, and even collected tithes in their domains, and enjoyed many other privileges, and began to grow rapidly as a decisive force in the defense of Jerusalem.
In 1312, Pope Clement V announced the dissolution of the Knights Templar, and since then, the Knights Templar, which had existed for nearly two centuries, became a historical term, and the remaining members were forced to go underground!"
Listening to Ye Tian's introduction, everyone at the scene couldn't help but secretly give a thumbs up and admire.
No wonder this guy can succeed and be invincible, he has done his homework so well, it's really not for nothing!
