Chapter 2150: The Temple Palace
The rain was still falling, and the weather was so wet and cold that people shivered in the streets.
Not far ahead, a huge convoy came through the rain curtain and headed straight for the Temple Palace.
At this time, the Temple Palace in Berlin had already been surrounded by several police cordons, blocking all tourists and other idlers from the outside and refusing to visit.
On several streets connected to the Temple Palace, a large number of Berlin policemen were distributed, all armed and on alert, vigilantly watching the situation on the streets.
This is only the outer security, and the security around the Temple Palace is taken care of by the Swiss Guards from the Vatican, and the internal security of the Temple Palace is naturally under the responsibility of the armed security personnel under Ye Tian.
Without Ye Tian's permission, no one was allowed to enter the Temple Palace during the joint exploration operation.
While speaking, Ye Tian and his convoy had passed through several cordons and came to the gate of the Temple Palace, and slowly stopped.
The vehicles following the convoy were stopped by the Berlin police, and they could only stay outside the cordon, craned their necks and looked at the Templars.
Among them are many media reporters who are afraid that the world will not be chaotic, and they do not receive any preferential treatment.
After the convoy stopped at the gate of the Temple Palace and confirmed that the scene was safe, Ye Tian and the others got out of the car, and they all stood on the square in front of the Temple Palace with bulletproof umbrellas.
As soon as they got out of the car, the head of the Berlin Temple Palace greeted them with a few Germans, who were basically monks in monk's clothes, with one exception.
Meeting each other, it is natural to have an introduction and a polite greeting, and after completing the procedures on these scenes, everyone walked towards the gate of the Temple Palace together under the leadership of the person in charge of the Temple Palace.
On the way, Raymond's voice came from the wireless invisible earphones, informing Ye Tian of the situation on the side of the Temple Palace.
Raymond arrived early in the morning with a team of armed security guards and several company employees to inspect the site of the Temple Palace and make some preliminary preparations.
"Steven, we have thoroughly searched the inside and outside of the Temple Palace, found no safety hazards, and made some corresponding arrangements, everyone can enter with confidence, there is no danger here.
The Germans installed a lot of surveillance probes here, covering almost all the public areas, which means that our actions in the public areas inside and outside the Temple Palace cannot be hidden from the eyes of the Germans.
However, they can only watch, not hear, and we have some anti-listening equipment in place, which is enough to block out everyone's voices, and if necessary, we can cut off the internal surveillance system of the Temple Palace at any time.
On the street where the Temple Palace is located, and on the Spree River not far away, we have also made some arrangements, and a few men have watched the movement on the street and the river to ensure everyone's safety."
After listening to the briefing, Ye Tian immediately tapped the micro microphone on his chest with his fingers, and didn't say anything.
What this action meant, the security personnel under him naturally understood.
At the same time that Ye Tian and the others were walking towards the gate of the Temple Palace, the many brave and fearless exploration company employees who came with the exploration team were already busy.
They unloaded the various exploration equipment they had brought with them from the cart, then loaded the huge metal boxes onto the cart and walked along the ramp in front of the Temple Palace to the entrance of the Temple Palace.
In the blink of an eye, Ye Tian and the others had already entered the Temple Palace and disappeared from people's field of vision.
A few minutes later, his company employees and security personnel also pushed a large number of exploration equipment and weapons and ammunition into the Temple Palace, and closed the temple palace gates.
Seeing this scene, the onlookers gathered near the Temple Palace, as well as the many media reporters, understood that the search for the Knights Templar's treasures had officially begun.
The outcome of this expedition is not yet known.
......
Time flies quickly, more than half an hour has passed in the blink of an eye.
During this time, Ye Tian and the others had already visited the Temple Palace, and they had a general understanding of the former headquarters of the German branch of the Knights Templar.
It is an ancient building built in the early 13th century in the typical Gothic style, with its high minarets and ribbed vaults, as well as its quaint decorative style, giving it a mysterious, sublime feeling.
But in the eyes of modern people, the feeling brought by this ancient building is more gloomy and mysterious!
It has been more than 700 years since the Temple Palace was built, and in this long history, this ancient building has had a lot of fate, having been damaged many times and even abandoned for a long time.
Especially during World War II, this ancient building was almost completely blown up by the Allies and turned into a pile of rubble.
Fortunately, the Germans attach great importance to this ancient building, which has been rebuilt many times in history, and the old building has always been repaired as before, and the original style of this historical building has always been maintained.
Of course, over time, the Germans have made some changes, such as the lighting system inside the Temple Palace, and the ubiquitous surveillance system.
After visiting the Temple Palace, Ye Tian and the others returned to the center of the main hall.
At this time, the many brave and fearless exploration company employees who followed Ye Tian were also ready to start exploring the treasures of the Knights Templar at any time.
However, there is still a few things to do before the exploration operation officially begins.
After standing in the center of the main hall of the Temple Palace, Ye Tian immediately glanced at the people at the scene, and then said loudly with a smile:
"Ladies and gentlemen, we will continue to explore the treasures of the Knights Templar, and I hope that all goes well and that we can find the remaining part of the Knights Templar's treasures, which could not be better."
When the words fell, the scene immediately burst into warm applause.
"Bang Bang Bang"
Everyone in the audience began to applaud, and everyone was very excited and full of anticipation.
This time, we are looking for the Knights Templar's treasures, which are likely to contain some long-lost and extremely important Christian relics, can you not be excited?
In particular, the Bishop of Kent from the Vatican, as well as the Germans in monks' uniforms, all had an impatient expression, eager to roll up their sleeves and do it themselves.
Before the applause fell, the person in charge of the Temple Palace couldn't wait to ask:
"Steven, where are you going to start, if you need our help, feel free to ask, we'll do our best!"
Ye Tian turned his head to look at the unusually enthusiastic German, glanced at the crowd at the scene again, and then said with a smile:
"It is well known that since the construction of the Temple Palace in the thirteenth century, it has been destroyed and rebuilt many times, so to speak, the buildings above the ground level of the Temple Palace have been largely rebuilt by later generations.
It follows from this that if the Knights Templar treasure was hidden in the Templar Palace, it could never be above the ground, otherwise it would have been discovered hundreds of years ago, and it could only be hidden deep underground.
In this way, we only have to explore the situation deep underground, every inch of the Temple Palace, we have to explore it carefully, and if we need help, we will offer it"
Hearing this, everyone at the scene nodded in unison and had no objections.
After a pause, Ye Tian continued:
"For the sake of ease of movement and the protection of trade secrets, I would like you to stay in this hall after the exploration has begun, without following us closely so as not to interfere with our work.
If we find something, we will let you know as soon as possible, and every employee of our Brave Exploration Company wears a camera to record the process of exploring the treasure.
The reason why everyone is not allowed to follow is also for safety reasons, if the Knights Templar treasure is really buried here, and we find it, it is likely to be accompanied by a certain danger.
On the other hand, it is likely that the Knights Templar's treasure trove contains some long-lost Christian relics, which are of self-evident importance and need to be kept strictly secret until they are identified.
As you all know, we don't want to have a crazy fight with anyone and ruin this ancient building.
In view of this, I hope that you will understand my decision and cooperate with it, and you can monitor it through the video footage we have taken, and we can be open and transparent."
As soon as the words fell, the faces of all the Germans on the scene changed and became very ugly.
However, Ye Tian had already talked about this, what else could they do?
A high-ranking official from the German Ministry of Culture, as well as the person in charge of the Temple Palace, spoke out one after another, hoping to accommodate them and let them participate in the exploration action, but Ye Tian refused without hesitation.
Faced with this situation, many Germans on the scene could only accept the reality, stay in this hall honestly, and patiently wait for the results of the exploration.
Next, Ye Tian told these guys a few more words, and then picked up the walkie-talkie and said:
"Derek, you and the guys bring the appropriate exploration equipment and prepare to start the exploration operation, let's start at the main entrance of the Temple Palace, and explore little by little.
Cole, you are in charge of the internal security of the Temple Palace, ensuring that the exploration is carried out smoothly and without interference, Leonardo, and the security of the outside of the Temple Palace is left to you!
During the exploration operation, no one can break into the Temple Palace without my permission, and the Berlin police guarding outside the Temple Palace are sure to cooperate with you."
"Understand, Steven, leave these things to us, don't worry"
There was a response on the intercom, and everyone's voice was full of confidence and high morale.
Next, Ye Tian chatted with the people in front of him for a few more words, and then said goodbye and left, taking David and them towards the place where the exploration equipment was stacked, preparing to explore the treasures of the Knights Templar with their own hands.
Looking at the backs of them leaving, these Germans in the hall all hated each other, but they were helpless.
"Steven, this cunning bastard, doesn't leave us a chance at all, it seems that we can only act as spectators, it's really unwilling to think about it!"
