Chapter 1915: The Rope of Life
As soon as the convoy left Heathrow, the news of the pope's sudden arrival in London quickly spread through every corner of London and reached everyone's ears like a hurricane.
The first time they heard the news, people could hardly believe their ears and thought they were hallucinating.
However, people soon learned from various sources that just ten minutes earlier, the Pope's plane had indeed landed at Heathrow Airport, and that it was the Queen and Prince Philip who had gone to pick it up.
At this time, the huge motorcade of the Pope and the Queen of England is heading towards the city of London, and it will not be long before it will enter the city and appear on the streets of London.
Not surprisingly, the whole of London was in complete shock.
After confirming that the news was correct, many people rushed out of their homes and stood on both sides of the street, excitedly awaiting the arrival of the Pope and the Queen's motorcade.
The many media reporters gathered around the temple church, as well as the crowd of onlookers who were eager to see through it, immediately began to have rich associations when they heard the news.
Did the Pope's sudden visit to London without warning come for the Templar Church, for the joint exploration that was going on here, for the Templar treasures?
In the blink of an eye, the surroundings of the temple church were completely boiling, and everyone was talking about it.
"I'm sure that His Holiness the Pope must have come to London for the Temple Church, and it is likely to be the work of Steven's fellow, who has always been good at taking advantage of the situation!"
"If this is the case, then there is no doubt that the joint exploration team must have discovered the Knights Templar treasure, and there must be those legendary Christian relics in the treasure, perhaps the Holy Grail.
If it weren't for that, no matter how big Steven's face was, it would be impossible to invite His Holiness the Pope, and today is really the right time, we will definitely witness a major discovery that will cause a sensation all over the world."
While people were talking, a large number of Scotland Yard police cars, as well as many heavily armed SWAT vehicles, suddenly drove up from several streets around the temple church.
In addition, a number of royal security personnel from Buckingham Palace and special services from 10 Downing Street rushed to the Temple Church in special service vehicles.
Seeing this scene, many media reporters and onlookers around the temple church suddenly strengthened their judgment and became more excited, cheering one by one.
As for those who came with the joint exploration team and coveted the treasures of the Knights Templar, they were all mourned at this time, and their faces were as ugly as if their father had died.
It was clear to each of them that the Knights Templar's treasures had nothing to do with them, at least the Knights Templar's treasures buried under the Templar Church.
After confirming this, some of them immediately turned around and walked away, walking very simply.
If you don't leave at this time, you will probably not be able to leave later, so why don't you wait for the British police to give you a pair of silver bracelets? How about you taste the food in the British prison?
"The convoy of the Pope and the Queen has entered the city of London and is heading towards the Temple Church"
In the crowd, I don't know that the guy shouted, and the scene was detonated in an instant.
"Bang Bang Bang"
Thunderous applause rang out in the area where the Temple Church was located, and throughout London.
Along with this enthusiastic applause, there were countless cheers one after another.
Underneath the Temple Chapel, at the bottom of the secret passage in the center of the confessional cell.
Looking at the arrows and javelins that were piled up on the ground in the depths of the secret passage, although they had gone through a long time, they were still flickering with cold light, and Prince William and the British Minister of Culture, who had just descended to the bottom of the secret passage, their faces suddenly changed!
A hint of fear flashed in the eyes of both of them, and the excitement on their faces disappeared in an instant, becoming extremely dignified, and even their steps became much heavier.
At this time, Prince William and the British Minister of Culture were wearing full protective gear, tightly wrapped from head to toe, and both of them had safety ropes tied around their waists.
The other end of the two safety ropes was tied to two stone pillars weighing six or seven hundred kilograms in the confessional cell, which was very strong!
Wearing a full set of protective equipment, and telling some precautions after entering the secret passage and underground palace, and then carefully descending to the bottom of the secret passage, it has successfully consumed more than twenty minutes.
And this is exactly what Ye Tian wants to see.
The dangerous secret passage in front of him was the second meal that Ye Tian prepared for Prince William and them, and by using this secret passage, he was confident that he would delay it for another twenty minutes.
Compared with Prince William, Ye Tian was standing a little more forward.
When Prince William and the others descended to the bottom of the secret passage, he immediately turned his head, looked at the two Englishmen with a smile on his face, and said:
"Most of the traps in this secret passage have been lifted by me, and the crossbow arrows and javelins that the Knights Templar have set up here to protect the treasure have basically been consumed, and these are those on the ground.
However, this secret passage, built seven or eight hundred years ago, is still full of dangers, and there are many treacherous and treacherous flip traps, and we have not had time to dispose of the landfill because of time.
Coupled with the extremely slippery ground here, you must be extremely careful when walking in this secret passage, and every step you take forward must obey my command, and you must step on it extremely solidly.
Your Royal Highness, your identity is too sensitive and important, and Your Excellency, your identity is also very important, to be honest, I very much don't want you to enter here, it would be too risky."
Hearing this, Prince William and the British Minister of Culture immediately looked at each other, and for the first time, they felt that the cunning guy in front of them didn't seem to be so hateful.
However, the two of them shook their heads lightly in unison, and instantly shook off this very ridiculous idea.
Immediately afterward, Prince William smiled and said:
"It's okay, Steven, since you Dauntless Explorers can safely pass through this secret passage, so can we, in fact, we want to experience the joy of exploring the treasure.
Rest assured, we will obey your orders and never act on our own when passing through this secret passage, and I am very interested in what lies behind the stone door in the depths of the secret passage."
"Alright then, gentlemen, let's pass one by one, Your Excellency the Minister will come first, please follow my pace, you must not take a wrong step, and always hold on to this safety rope, it is the rope of life!"
As he spoke, Ye Tian handed the safety rope about one meter long to the British Minister of Culture, and asked him to tie it around his waist with a safety lock, and the other end was tied around his waist.
When everything was ready, he stepped out and walked cautiously towards the depths of the secret passage, almost step by step, showing extreme caution, definitely worthy of an Oscar statuette.
Behind him, the British Minister of Culture followed step by step, with a nervous expression and eyes staring at Ye Tian's steps, not daring to make a mistake, lest he throw his life here, it would be too unjust.
After only three or four steps forward, Ye Tian stopped, suddenly stepped on a marble floor in the center of the secret passage, and then retracted his right foot like lightning.
With his movements, the marble floor suddenly flipped ninety degrees, revealing a dark hole hidden beneath the floor, like the mouth of a monster, ready to devour people.
Seeing this scene, the British Minister of Culture and Prince William, who was standing behind, couldn't help but gasp and secretly shudder.
Before they could ask, Ye Tianqing's voice came.
"This is the first flap trap in the secret passage, about four or five meters deep, with a few sharp and rusty javelins standing at the bottom of the pit, and there is still stagnant water about two meters deep, and the walls are extremely smooth and very deadly.
No matter who falls into this flip trap, it will be nine deaths, and it is almost impossible to escape alive, and there are several more traps like this, and each one is more vicious than the other!"
Hearing this, the British Minister of Culture, who was following closely behind Ye Tian, immediately weakened his legs, and he was so frightened that he almost couldn't stand, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead and back.
At this time, he regretted and felt fearful.
He hated to give himself two slaps in the face, and he could hold on to his full stomach! Why should he do this? Wouldn't it be good to put himself in such a dangerous situation?
Prince William, who was standing in the back, was no better, and he was also in a cold sweat.
