Ye Tian turned his head to look at the Bishop of Kent who was standing next to him, and then said with a smile:

"This may not be the treasure of the Knights Templar, the Templar Order was banned and destroyed, which can be regarded as an emergency, so the Templars have no power to fight back, and the members have been killed.

Under these circumstances, even if the Knights Templar had amassed a great deal of wealth, it would not have been possible to transport them all to the fiefdom of the Count of Beauge, which was the territory of Philip IV in France.

After the death of Philip IV, his successors continued to hunt down the Templars, making it difficult for the remnants of the Templars to transport such a large amount of treasure without a trace.

But what exactly are these chests in, dazzling gold and silver treasures, medieval antiques, or whatever? I'm curious to open them."

Regarding Ye Tian's analysis, Bishop Kent obviously agreed, and nodded frequently.

When he had finished speaking, the Bishop of Kent immediately continued:

"Steven, I agree with you that what is hidden here is most likely not a Templar treasure, although I would very much like to find a few Christian relics here."

"Okay, let's not speculate here, just go inside and open those dusty boxes, and you will know what they are in and how much they are worth!

Give me that hand-held electric cutter, and I'll break through this iron fence, and then you can go inside, and you step back a little bit, and be a little more careful, so that nothing happens."

As he spoke, Ye Tian had already put down the heavy police shield and strong light in his hand, and then took over the hand-held electric cutter from the Bishop of Kent.

Immediately after, he took out a pair of sunglasses from his backpack and replaced the goggles he had been carrying, and then walked to the iron fence and prepared to cut it.

The next moment, this underground space, which had been silent for hundreds of years, suddenly sounded an unusually harsh noise, and brought a series of dazzling sparks.

After nearly ten minutes, the noise and sparks died down, and the underground space was finally quiet again, but the air was filled with the pungent smell of smoke.

Ye Tian put the hand-held electric cutter on the floor aside, took off his sunglasses and put them back in his backpack, put on the goggles again, and then held the iron fence in front of him and gently pushed it forward.

With his movements, the middle part of the iron fence suddenly broke and fell backwards, and there was already an opening about 1.8 meters high and 1.23 meters wide on the iron fence, or a door.

"Bang"

With a loud bang, the part of the iron fence that had been cut slammed into the ground and kicked up a cloud of dust.

Before the dust fell, Ye Tian had already stepped forward and pushed the cut part of the iron fence to the side, so as not to get in the way.

"Let's go, Bishop Kent, let's go inside, see what is in those boxes, or the same as before, you follow in my footsteps, don't act on your own"

As he spoke, Ye Tian had already picked up the heavy police shield again, protected it in front of him, and then walked towards the gap.

Everything went smoothly and nothing unexpected happened.

In the blink of an eye, Ye Tian and Bishop Kent had successfully passed through the rusty iron fence and entered the space inside, standing still in front of a pile of boxes.

As they entered, the general situation of the space was revealed to them.

It is no exaggeration to say that this is a palace hidden deep underground, except that this underground palace is very simple and unadorned.

Like the castle of Arzhni above ground, this underground palace is a typical Gothic building, and its grandeur is no less than that of the medieval castle above ground.

The area of this palace is very large, about 1,000 square meters, about 30 meters wide from north to south, and about 40 meters deep, all of which are made of granite and concrete, which is extremely strong.

Above the heads of Ye Tian and Bishop Kent, there are pointed vaults about five meters high, a total of four groups, the shape and width are basically exactly the same, not only solemn and magnificent, but also quite imposing.

Corresponding to this are three rows of granite columns standing high above the ground, each about fifty centimeters in diameter, which, together with the walls on both sides, supports the vaults above.

The presence of these three rows of granite columns naturally divides this underground palace into four parts, like four arcades, each of which has an area of several hundred square meters.

In these arcades, chests of various sizes were piled up, like hills, each covered with dust and a thick layer of moss.

And Ye Tian's location was in front of a hill at the entrance of this underground palace.

Although they had expected it, seeing the situation in this underground palace with their own eyes, Ye Tian and Bishop Kent were shocked again.

Both of them froze in place, gasping for air.

After a long time, the Bishop of Kent said with emotion:

"Wow! It's incredible, how did the Boge family build this underground palace in the thirteenth century?

Ye Tian shook his head slightly, and then said with a smile:

"With just the Boge family, I'm afraid it will be difficult to complete such a grand underground project, and it will be even more difficult to hide people's eyes, and the Boge family should not have such a big hand.

If I'm not mistaken, the powerful and wealthy Knights Templar are the creators of this underground palace, and this may be a secret base of the Knights Templar, but no one knows about it!"

"That's right, Steven, it's highly likely, the Knights Templar did have this ability before breaking with Philip IV, and they are directly under the leadership of the Pope, and they can perfectly avoid the eyes and ears of the King of France."

Bishop Kent nodded and said, his opinion was the same as Ye Tian's.

"Okay, let's ignore the origin of this underground palace, let's open these boxes first and see what they contain, whether it is another huge surprise"

Ye Tian said with a smile, and casually pulled out a crowbar from his backpack.

The next moment, he was in front of a long dusty crate that lay alone on the floor, and he was ready to pry it open.

Because of their age, these boxes are rotten and about to fall apart.

With almost no effort, Ye Tian inserted one end of the crowbar deep into a gap in the edge of the box, and then gently pried it upward.

"Smack"

With a crisp sound, the planks on top of the box broke and were pried up.

The contents of the box, after hundreds of years of quiet sleep, were finally rediscovered.

Ye Tian gently withdrew the crowbar, and then, together with Bishop Kent, looked inside the box to see what was stored there.

Nearly an hour has passed since Ye Tian and Bishop Kent entered the secret passage.

Jason and Count Beauge, who were in the cellar, were all gathered around the edge of the pit, laughing and chatting while paying attention to the movements in the secret passage at the bottom of the pit, and everyone's eyes were full of anticipation.

Martinez in the corridor outside the wine cellar, as well as a few other Frenchmen, looked at the inside of the wine cellar with longing eyes, waiting for the results of Ye Tian's exploration.

"I don't know what is hidden in that underground space, if it is really a treasure of the Knights Templar, then this exploration will definitely cause a huge sensation!"

"Who would have thought that such a secret is hidden in the depths of the underground of Alzhny Castle, and even the Count of Boge does not know, if it weren't for Steven's amazing guy, I'm afraid he would never have found out!"

Everyone is talking, speculating, and looking forward to the results of the exploration.

Suddenly, in the secret passage at the bottom of the pit, there was another sound of swishing footsteps.

Immediately afterward, a beam of light shot out of the secret passage and shone on the ceiling of the wine cellar.

Bishop Kent was the first to walk out of the secret passage, followed by Ye Tian, who was naturally carrying a heavy police shield.

No sooner had they come out of the secret passage, and before they could gain a foothold, the Count of Beauge, who was standing at the edge of the pit, could not wait to ask:

"Steven, Bishop of Kent, what did you find in that dark space deep underground? What exactly were those chests in? Is it a Knights Templar treasure?"

Not only him, but everyone else was also very concerned about the answers to these questions, everyone looked at Ye Tian and Bishop Kent, and everyone's eyes were extremely hot.

Ye Tian looked up at Count Boge, who looked eager, and then glanced at the others at the edge of the big pit, then shook his head with a smile and said:

"You may be disappointed that the dark space deep underground hides not the famous Knights Templar treasures, nor any other treasures, but a large number of medieval weapons.

The crates were filled with knights' swords, armor, triangular shields, javelins, spear heads, and countless arrows, and those from the Middle Ages were rusted.

On the medieval weaponry, as well as on the chests, we find the emblem of the Knights Templar, the other crosses, which clearly belonged to the Knights Templar.

The history of this underground arsenal dates back to the mid-thirteenth century, when the castle of Alzhni was built, and it can be inferred that it was the work of the Knights Templar!

Why did the Knights Templar build a secret arsenal and stock up on a large number of weapons and equipment near Lyon? I made a bold guess that they might want to do something in France, but they didn't have time to do it!"

"Ahh

"The Knights Templar wanted to make trouble in France? Do they also want to establish their own knightly state? If so, then it would be much more reasonable for King Philip IV of France to destroy the Templars."

There was a lot of discussion at the scene, and everyone was somewhat disappointed with the answer given by Ye Tian.
