"Bishop Kent, I emphasize again, as long as you enter this secret passage, you must obey my commands, and you must not act without permission, so as not to encounter danger"

Ye Tian said with a solemn face, and told the Bishop of Kent who was standing next to him.

"Understand, Steven, don't worry, I won't act on my own, and I don't want to die in that dark space deep underground."

Bishop Kent nodded, his face full of excitement and anticipation.

At this time, they were standing on the edge of the large pit in the cellar, preparing to enter the secret passage to explore the mysterious space deep underground that had been shrouded in darkness for hundreds of years.

Like the previous exploration in Larnaca, Ye Tian was once again fully armed, carrying a heavy police shield in his left hand and a strong light in his right hand.

The headlamp on top of his head has been turned on, a bright light has shone directly at the bottom of the pit, and the high-definition camera on the chest of Kevlar's body armor has been turned on, ready to record the next exploration.

Behind him, he carried a huge hiking bag, which contained many exploration tools, emergency life-saving equipment, two sets of spare respiratory systems and supporting small oxygen cylinders, etc.

And, of course, the indispensable weapons and ammunition.

After all, no one can guarantee that there is no danger hidden in the dark world deep underground, so it is better to be careful.

The Bishop of Kent, who was about to enter the secret passage with him, was also wearing a Kevlar body armor, carrying a bright light and a small hand-held electric cutter.

He also carried a backpack on his back, but it was much smaller, and contained some simple exploration tools, such as a flashlight, a towel, gloves, a magnifying glass, a brush, and other items.

When you're ready, you're ready to enter the secret passages and explore the dark world deep underground.

Ye Tian quickly looked through the equipment that he and the Bishop of Kent were carrying, and after confirming that there was no problem, he was ready to go down to the bottom of the pit and enter the secret passage that led to the depths of the ground.

At that moment, Martinez's voice suddenly came from the door of the cellar.

"Steven, are you thinking again? Let me go with you into that secret passage and explore the depths of the earth that has been shrouded in darkness for hundreds of years.

I have a background in archaeology, I have a lot of archaeological experience, and I also know how to identify antique artworks, I will never cause you trouble, but will help!"

Hearing this, Ye Tian immediately turned his head to look at the door of the wine cellar, Bishop Kent and Jason were the same.

The moment they turned their heads, everyone saw a face full of anticipation and even a hint of pleading, it was the famous director of the Louvre Museum, Martinez.

As a well-known archaeologist and a top expert in antique art, you can't afford to miss this golden opportunity, especially if it is likely to be related to the treasures of the Knights Templar!

If the Templar Order's treasures were hidden here, this quest would go down in history, and anyone who wasn't an idiot would have missed this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that could go down in history.

Obviously, Martinez can't be an idiot, but a human spirit!

That's why he put down his body and repeatedly asked Ye Tian to let him also participate in this exploration operation, and enter the secret passage and the space deep underground as soon as possible.

However, things often go your way out of the way.

Ye Tian looked at this old friend who was standing in the corridor outside the cellar door, and then shook his head very firmly.

"I'm very sorry, Martinez, I can't accede to your request, when we signed the joint exploration agreement with the Vatican, we agreed not to accept any third party to participate in the joint exploration operation.

To tell you the truth, we have made great concessions to keep you at the door of the cellar, and before in Larnaca, the representatives of the Cypriot government and the Greek Orthodox Church could only stay on the ground.

Stay here and wait for the results of your exploration, for you must not enter this secret passage without the consent of me and the Bishop of Kent, not only you, but Jacques as well.

If the Knights Templar treasure is indeed hidden here, then it is almost certain that there are probably those long-lost Christian relics in the treasure, and the importance of those things should be well known to you.

This is the main reason why I rejected you, you should wait here, and if there is a suitable opportunity in the future, I will invite you to participate in the exploration operation, which I believe will come soon.

Alright, that's all that is said for that, Bishop of Kent, let's get down to the action and see what lies in the dark space deep underground, and look forward to our good news, gentlemen!"

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Martinez to respond, Ye Tian turned around and jumped directly into the big pit about one and a half meters deep.

Bishop Kent nodded lightly at Martinez, and then followed Ye Tian and also went down to the bottom of the pit.

"What a bastard, he doesn't talk about any affection!"

A gritted curse rang out from the cellar door, from Martinez, of course.

At this time, Martinez was not the only one cursing Ye Tian.

The Count of Beauge, who was staying at the edge of the big pit in the wine cellar, the French Minister of Culture in the corridor outside, and others were also secretly cursing Ye Tian, but each of them was helpless.

After standing still at the bottom of the pit, Ye Tian immediately turned his head to look at Bishop Kent, and nodded lightly at the other party.

Then he stepped out and stepped up the first step of the passageway, carrying the heavy shield in his left hand, which protected him from his entire body.

Nothing happened, everything was calm.

There was no sound of a trap in the tunnel, no rain of arrows or javelins shooting out of the depths of the tunnel, no flip traps, no boulder falling from the top of the cellar, etc.

Although they had long expected this result, seeing this scene with their own eyes, everyone at the scene still breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed a little.

At this time, Ye Tian had already picked up the heavy police shield again, and stepped out, stepping on the second step in the secret passage, and the police shield in his hand fell to the third step.

"Bang"

A muffled sound echoed through the secret passage that led deep underground, and echoed in the cellar above.

As before, nothing happened.

As he spoke, Ye Tian had already walked down ten steps, and the whole person had entered the secret passage and disappeared from everyone's field of vision.

Standing at the edge of the pit, Jason and the others could now only hear the sound of heavy footsteps and the muffled sound of heavy police shields smashing on the granite steps, constantly coming from the secret passages.

When the sound of heavy footsteps came from the secret passage again, Ye Tian's voice also came out.

"Bishop Kent, you can come down, there are no traps in the first half of the secret passage, but for the sake of insurance, you must step on my footprints when you come down, and always hold on to the safety rope to be safe!"

"Understood, Steven, I'll get down now"

Bishop Kent nodded in response, and stepped out with anticipation into the secret passage that led deep underground.

Soon, the Bishop of Kent also disappeared from everyone's view, and the footsteps coming from the secret passage also changed from one to two.

"Treading ......"

Footsteps kept coming from the depths of the secret passages, and it sounded like they were fading away.

In the blink of an eye, Ye Tian had already walked through the first half of the secret passage, and successfully passed the bend more than ten meters deep, turned right and walked east, step by step, firm and persistent.

Walking here, the slope of the secret passage has suddenly slowed down, and the space has become larger and larger, and under the strong light in his hand, it seems like daylight.

As with the previous drone detection, the floor and walls of the secret passage were covered in dust and a thick layer of moss, and it was a puff to step on.

There was nothing else but that, not even a rusty candlestick on the walls, let alone frescoes or statues or anything like that, bare.

Looking forward along the secret passage, seven or eight meters ahead was the rusty iron fence, and behind the fence was the underground space filled with various chests.

It was a huge underground space, or rather an underground palace.

Standing here on the iron fence, with the help of the light of the headlamp and the strong light, Ye Tian could only see a part of the space, and most of the rest was still shrouded in darkness.

In the place where the light shines, there are many boxes of different shapes and sizes, piled up into small mountains, but what exactly those boxes contain is unknown for the time being.

Compared with what he saw on the drone monitoring screen before, Ye Tian saw more boxes this time, and the shock he received was more intense.

Fortunately, his nerves were strong enough and well-informed, and although he was shocked, he did not lose his mind.

At this moment, the boxes behind the iron fence were close at hand, and they were all within the perspective range, but Ye Tian did not open the perspective, and was in a hurry to check the contents of those boxes.

He was going to go through the iron fence a few meters ahead, into the underground space, and then open the chests that had been sleeping for hundreds of years one by one to explore the mysteries, that would be interesting.

In fact, he had already made a preliminary judgment based on the dazzling light emitted by the chests and the halo attached to them.

In the blink of an eye, Ye Tian had successfully come to the iron fence, looking at the mountains of boxes inside through the rusty iron fence.

Soon, Bishop Kent also arrived here, standing side by side with Ye Tian, looking at the space behind the iron fence.

Although I have seen this scene before, it is only an infrared picture taken by a drone, only a rough outline, the clarity is very poor, and the screen of the LCD is also very small, how can I be shocked to witness it with my own eyes!

The Bishop of Kent was directly stunned by the scene in front of him, and stood in front of the iron fence in a daze, muttering to himself.

"If this is really a Templar treasure, it would be too much of an exaggeration, unless the Knights Templar ransacked all of medieval Europe!"
