The basement, where a large swarm of bats and littered with bat droppings, was now brightly lit and brighter than the Gothic building directly above!

This originally foul-smelling and disgusting basement had already been thoroughly cleaned by Ye Tian and the others, restored to its original appearance, and could even be said to be spotless.

In the past few hundred years, the endless darkness that has been shrouding this place has also been completely dispelled by the light, and the dark and gloomy feeling before has basically disappeared!

Ye Tian and Bishop Kent had been down to this basement for a while, and they were standing in front of the wall on the north side of the basement at the moment, observing the situation on the wall.

As Ye Tian expected, this was indeed a water dungeon of the Templar Order, except for the granite steps leading into the water dungeon, there was no other exit from this basement, not even a gas window.

The basement is about 30 square meters in size, a little larger than the one above, and the roof, floor, and four walls are made of granite and concrete.

On the ceiling of the basement, which is about four meters high, there are three rows of rusty iron hooks, and each iron hook corresponds to a burning stake column on the floor that is about the thickness of an arm and about one and a half meters high!

Obviously, the iron hooks above were used to hang the prisoners, and the burn pillars on the floor were used to bind the prisoners, although they were all covered with rust, but it still made people shudder to look at!

Like the instruments of torture in the basement above, these hooks and burners were used only a limited number of times, or never at all.

Their appearance is very regular and uniform, and there is no deformation and wear caused by the prisoner's painful struggle, unless the prisoner who was once held here is not in pain!

In addition to these torture instruments, the walls and floors of the basement were carved with many mysterious symbols unique to the Knights Templar, more than any other place.

Many of these mysterious symbols have been discovered for the first time.

Even a Vatican scholar who has studied the situation of the Knights Templar has never seen these mysterious symbols, let alone Ye Tian!

Unfortunately, no one on the scene was able to decipher these mysterious symbols, and they did not know their specific meanings.

After entering here, Ye Tian did not immediately open the hidden secret room or secret passage, but took everyone to visit this basement, and filmed all the situation here for video data!

To be sure, today was not only the first time they had come to this basement and seen everything here, but it would probably be the last.

If I had the opportunity to come back in the future, I would do so as a tourist, not as a treasure hunter, to explore the treasures of the Knights Templar.

After visiting this basement, Ye Tian led everyone to the north wall of the basement, ready to uncover the secrets hidden in this basement.

He first turned his head to scan the people around him, and then pointed to the wall in front of him.

At a height of about one and a half meters above the ground, there was a gap less than a centimeter wide in the wall, which extended straight up to the ceiling.

It stretched upwards for about two meters before the gap disappeared, and at the top of the gap was a single piece of granite, blocking the path of the gap.

Coincidentally, on the two granite stones at the upper and lower ends of this gap, there is a mysterious symbol carved on each, I don't know what it means!

Following the direction of Ye Tian's finger, Bishop Kent and Jason all looked at the gap, and everyone was extremely excited and full of anticipation!

At the same time, Ye Tianqing's voice also reached everyone's ears.

"Do you see this crack in the wall? This is a gap that I accidentally flushed out when I washed this wall from top to bottom with a high-pressure water gun, and I didn't think it was anything strange at first!

However, when I continued to rinse the place with a high-pressure water gun, I found that the water flowed directly into the wall through the cracks, and did not come out from below, and the water seemed to be swallowed up by the wall!

This is completely different from the situation in other places, as you can see, this basement is made of granite and concrete, and it is used as a water prison, especially with anti-seepage treatment, so that water cannot be splashed!

It was this difference that aroused my suspicions, and then I continued to scour the gap with a high-pressure water cannon, and as expected, the gap became longer and longer, and the water swallowed up more and more!

I tried to wash through some of the other crevices, but to no avail, they didn't move, and all the water that washed up the walls ended up down the walls and onto the floor.

After that, I used other methods, such as tapping on the two pieces of granite adjacent to this gap, and using the sound of the tapping feedback to determine whether there was any secret behind the wall.

After some testing, I can almost confirm that there is either a secret room behind this wall, or there is a secret passage leading to another place, which may have something to do with the treasure of the Knights Templar that we have been looking for!"

As he spoke, Ye Tian raised his right hand and smashed it a few times on a piece of granite on the right side of the gap.

"Bang Bang"

A few muffled noises echoed through the basement.

The voice didn't sound like anything special, and both Bishop Kent and Jason were a little confused.

Before they could speak, Ye Tian smashed his fist into the granite on the left side of the gap, and there were several muffled noises at the scene.

"Huh, the sounds on the two sides seem to be a little different, comparatively speaking, the sound of the granite on the left is a little more muffled!"

Jason was the first to speak, and he could hear the subtle difference between the two tappings.

The Bishop of Kent and the others all nodded, but they were still somewhat confused, and obviously they didn't really hear very well.

Ye Tian glanced at Jason, then nodded with a smile and said:

"That's right, the granite on the right is empty behind it, and the granite on the left is behind the solid wall, so the sound they make is different!"

As he spoke, Ye Tian tapped a few more times in succession, so that everyone could hear more clearly.

With his prompting, everyone listened to these tapping sounds again, and sure enough, they noticed the difference.

Immediately afterward, everyone had a heated discussion.

"Wow! It looks like there's a secret room behind this wall, but I don't know what treasure is hidden inside, if it's really a Templar treasure, that's great!"

"Steven, how do we open this wall and enter the secret room hidden in the back?

As they discussed, everyone stared at the seemingly impregnable wall ahead.

Everyone's eyes were extremely hot and hot, and they couldn't wait to shoot two lasers in their eyes, directly burn through those hard granite, and see the secrets hidden behind the walls!

Ye Tian smiled softly, and then said:

"After discovering this gap and making sure that there was a secret chamber or secret passage hidden behind this wall, I carefully examined the basement that was used as a water dungeon and found no lethal mechanism.

This water dungeon was a cover, and the Knights Templar probably never held any prisoners here, and they didn't set up any traps here, lest they be self-defeating!

In other words, there should be no danger in staying in this basement, and I also studied this Gothic building, although it is very old, it is not in danger of collapsing immediately!

If there is a mechanism, then there is no need to worry about it for the time being, either behind this wall, at the entrance to that secret room or secret passage, or inside the secret room or passageway, until the wall is opened!

It's been closed off for more than 700 years, it's very humid, and it's inhabited by a lot of bats, and even if the Knights Templar set up any deadly traps, they are probably scrapped long ago and don't threaten everyone!"

Hearing his words, the Bishop of Kent and the others all nodded lightly in agreement, and the look of worry in their eyes decreased considerably.

After a pause, Ye Tian continued:

"Although I don't expect there to be any danger behind this wall, for the sake of safety, I don't plan to push or pry open this wall directly.

I'm going to make a small hole in this granite to go straight to the space behind the wall, and then use the internal camera to find out what is behind the wall before proceeding to the next step."

"It's a good idea, it's time-consuming, but it's very safe and safe, and there shouldn't be any surprises!"

Bishop Kent nodded, and the rest of the group nodded.

Then, Ye Tian squatted down, opened a metal trolley box placed beside him, and took out a hand-held drilling rig from it, which was ready to start punching!

He doesn't intend to fake others for this job, only by doing it himself, he is most at ease.

He was the only one on the scene, and he knew exactly what was going on behind the walls and where the best place to punch the holes.

"Woo——!"

As Ye Tian pressed the start button of the drilling rig, the sound of the motor rotating at high speed immediately sounded in the basement.

This voice is very harsh, but to everyone at the scene, it is like a heavenly sound, extremely beautiful!

In the next second, Ye Tian grabbed the electric drilling rig with both hands and stretched out the high-speed rotating drill bit to the wall in front of him!
