The Pope looked at both of them deeply and continued to speak to himself.

"As for the Knights Hospitaller and the Teutonic Knights, it is not a problem, the Knights Hospitaller is in Rome, close to the Vatican, and we have a very close relationship.

The Teutonic Order, now known as the German Knights, has more than 1,000 members and is headquartered in Vienna, who have been under our leadership and under the orders of the Vatican.

Other mysterious religious organizations, such as the Xunshan Hermitage, can also exert some influence and persuade them through various connections not to interfere with this joint exploration operation.

Find the Christian relics in the Knights Templar's treasures, and even find the Holy Grail and the Ark of the Covenant, and enshrine them in the Vatican for all believers to admire and worship, they have no reason to object.

The religious extremists you are talking about are just some of the more fanatical believers, and they should not pose any threat if the Vatican takes the lead in this exploration.

Besides, given the great strength you have shown in previous treasure hunts, and the ruthless methods you have used to deal with your opponents, how can you be afraid of any mysterious religious organizations and extremists?

Even if the mysterious religious organizations such as the Xunshan Hermitage and those religious extremists want to obstruct the exploration, or covet those holy relics, and find that the opponent is you, they will be afraid of three points.

Our Swiss Guard in the Vatican is not an ornament, and anyone who dares to disrupt this joint exploration for the sake of those sacred relics in the treasures of the Knights Templar will be our enemy."

When the words fell, everyone at the scene looked at Ye Tian, looking forward to his response.

"Of course, buddies are not afraid of those mysterious religious organizations and religious extremists in the Xunshan Hermitage Society, but this does not prevent buddies from using this as an excuse to negotiate with you and make demands."

Ye Tian secretly complained a few words, then pretended to think and fell silent.

Ye Tian was quite satisfied with the Pope's explanation just now and these coping strategies.

Obviously, the Pope and Kent came prepared, they had made full preparations beforehand, and almost everything was taken into account, which can be described as very meticulous

After a moment of silence, Ye Tian smiled and said:

"Your Majesty, I have to say that you have been very thoughtful and have a reasonable coping strategy, and it seems that my concerns are no longer a problem, which is of course very good

But I have another question, as you know, we have only recently returned from Europe, and we have brought back a lot of top antiques and art, as well as countless gold and silver treasures.

Some people even joke that we have looted the whole of Europe and the wealth that originally belonged to the countries and people of Europe, but of course, I do not admit this statement, which is obviously slanderous

Every treasure we have explored in Europe, every antique art and gold and silver treasure we have acquired, has been obtained by legal means and means, and can never be called looting

But it's undeniable that many Europeans don't see this and hate us, including many European countries, and they are very wary of my company

As soon as we enter Europe again, I am afraid that everyone will immediately think of what kind of treasure we have come for, and I guess most European countries do not welcome me.

If this is not the case, the possible burial sites of the Knights Templar's treasures must be in Europe, especially in Western Europe, and it will not be easy to explore these countries."

Hearing his words, a smile appeared on the faces of everyone in the room.

Is it useful not to admit that you have ransacked all of Europe, you are a man who has looted all of Europe, including the whole of North Africa, this is a fact that everyone knows

Aren't those top antique artworks in Napoleon's treasure from European countries Napoleon finally snatched treasures from European countries, but in the end he cheapened you greedy guy for nothing

The freighter at the bottom of the English Channel was filled with gold and antique works of art that Rommel had plundered from North Africa, each stained with blood

It's irrefutable evidence, and you don't admit it

Aren't Europeans hating you guys now, who doesn't want to beat you up as a bastard

After complaining secretly, Kent was ready to speak to solve Ye Tian's concerns.

However, Ye Tian took the lead and continued to smile and said:

"There is also the most practical question, if we accept the commission to explore the treasure and successfully find the treasure of the Templar Order, then how do we distribute the wealth in the treasure

We are a treasure hunting company, this is our business, and these things must be explained in advance and reflected in the contract before the exploration begins, so as not to be ripped off later"

Hearing his words, everyone at the scene couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then came to their senses

Sure enough

This is still the notoriously greedy guy, unchanged, exactly like the legend

After a lot of talking, the conversation finally returned to how to distribute the Templar treasure, and wealth was the ultimate goal of Steven.

After adjusting his mood a little, Kent continued:

"Steven, we have already thought about what you may encounter in Europe after the exploration operation begins, and you are right, the European countries will definitely be on high alert for your company

But it doesn't matter, once we sign a joint exploration agreement, we at the Vatican will be responsible for dredged up the relationship between the relevant European countries, and there should be no problem in getting the exploration permit in the relevant countries.

Of course, we must pay a certain price for this, and what the specific price is depends on what kind of requirements the relevant countries will make.

Let's talk about the issue that you are most concerned about is the distribution of treasures, and we in the Vatican are committed to those Christian relics, which is also the purpose of our exploration of the treasures of the Knights Templar.

As for the worldly possessions in the Knights Templar's treasures, whatever they are, they can be paid for by you, all of which come from the Middle Ages and even have a much longer history.

Moreover, they are very closely related to the legendary Knights Templar, and have been hidden from many Christian relics for more than 700 years, which is very special.

In the field of your collection of antiques, all of those worldly possessions are valuable antiques, and there are many of the most valuable antiques."

Speaking of this, the President of the United States, who had been sitting quietly next to him, suddenly interjected:

"Steven, if your company accepts the Vatican's commission and successfully finds the Templar treasure, I very much hope that you will bring the worldly belongings from the treasure back to the United States.

The Bishop of Kent was right when he said that the worldly belongings were antiques of great value and had a special significance, and many museums and top collectors in the United States must be very interested."

Hearing this, Ye Tian did not respond immediately, but nodded lightly at the President of the United States with a smile on his face, making it impossible to understand his true thoughts.

The Bishop of Kent looked at him deeply, then continued:

"Of course, there is also the possibility that the Knights Templar's treasure is in vain, and everything is a false rumor, a gimmick created by some people in history, and it has deceived everyone.

Or, if there are very few Christian relics and worldly belongings in the treasure, let us rejoice in nothing, then it doesn't matter, we are willing to bear the loss and give you some compensation

And one more thing, if you are able to find the legendary Christian relics after this expedition, we can promise that the Pope himself will make you a knight."

Before the words fell, the President of the United States and David had already exclaimed in a low voice.

"Oh my God, it's too big"

"Wow, doesn't this mean that as long as you find those legendary Christian relics, Steven will immediately become a nobleman, and more importantly, this knight is canonized by the Pope himself, which has a special meaning"

At the same time of exclaiming, the eyes of the President of the United States and David who were already envious were red, and they hated to replace Ye Tian

This is a real aristocracy, and it was canonized by the Pope.

In the Western world in general, and in the United States in particular, this is the status and glory that many people dream of, but they can't ask for it

Before the exclamation fell, Ye Tianqing's voice had come out again.

"Thank you for your generosity, Your Majesty, and it would be great if we signed the commission agreement and we could find the Knights Templar's treasures and the legendary Christian relics

If I were to be knighted, I would like Betty to be knighted, not me, Betty is a Christian, and she is obviously more suitable for the title, but I am an atheist.

Let's talk about the conditions you offered, you take away the Christian relics in the treasure, and I take all the worldly goods, which is obviously very unfair, and this condition is far from meeting my expectations,"

Several people from the Vatican, as well as the president of the United States, were immediately stupid when they heard this.

This condition is not satisfied, the appetite is too big, no wonder some people say that Steven is an extremely greedy bastard, and he really lives up to his reputation

Nearly an hour had passed, and the people in the banquet hall were chatting and sipping wine while keeping their eyes on the door in front of them

Without exception, everyone was secretly speculating about what the Pope and the President of the United States, and that Steven guy, had been talking about for so long

Just when everyone was suspicious, the door suddenly opened.

Immediately afterwards, the Bishop of Kent walked out of it with Ye Tian and David and returned to the banquet hall.

After a few more seconds, His Majesty the Pope and the President of the United States also came out of the room one after another.

They returned to the banquet hall with smiles on their faces, and it was clear that the secret meeting had achieved a good outcome

But no one knows exactly what this result is
