Chapter 1906 Confessional Cell

Not long after David and Jason entered the basement next door, Ye Tian's slightly excited voice came from the walkie-talkie.

"Jason, you bring a pulsed metal detector to the 'confessional cell', David, Bishop Kent, you come too, I found something special in the 'confessional cell', it's worth looking into it"

Hearing his words, everyone's eyes lit up, and they suddenly became excited.

Could it be that Steven's amazing fellow has discovered the Knights Templar treasure?

"Okay, Steven, we'll be right over"

As he spoke, Jason had stepped out and walked briskly towards the basement door with a pulsed metal detector, looking impatient.

David and the Bishop of Kent, too, immediately followed.

In the blink of an eye, several of them had already come to the 'confession cell' and joined Ye Tian together.

At this time, Ye Tian was squatting in the center of the confession cell, carefully studying the marble floor under his feet.

Seeing this scene, David immediately asked curiously:

"Steven, what you're talking about is these marble floors, what's so special about them?"

As he spoke, David and the others looked at the floors in the center of the cell, their eyes full of doubt.

In their eyes, the marble floors seemed to be indistinguishable from the other floors around them, nothing special.

Ye Tian looked up at them, then explained with a smile:

"When the Templars were built in the late twelfth century, when the Knights Templar were at their strongest, they built the Templar Church in imitation of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem and the Dome of the Holy Rock.

During the construction process, the Knights Templar made extensive use of Pullbeck marble from Dorset, southern England, to build the English headquarters, which can be described as extravagant.

The basement of the Chapel of the Virgin Anna, as well as several other basements, without exception, the ceiling, walls, floors, etc., are made of Poorbeck marble.

It's the same with this confessional cell, most of the place is made of Pullbeck marble, but the floors in the center of the cell are different from Pullbeck marble, you can take a closer look."

Before he could finish speaking, David and Bishop Kent crouched down and began to examine with great interest the thick, old marble floors in the center of the cell.

"As you can see, the patterns engraved on these floors, as well as the mysterious symbols peculiar to the Knights Templar, are indistinguishable from the other floors around them, and they must have been placed here at the same time.

However, if you look closely at the texture and color of these marbles themselves, and compare them with the other marble floors around them, you will see the difference."

Ye Tian pointed to the patterns, mysterious symbols, and patterns on the marble slab while explaining to David and Jason.

Under his explanation, David and the others quickly saw the special features of these marble floors.

"Yes, Steven, these marble floors are different from the others, they look thicker, not as delicate as Pullbeck marble, and a little darker in color."

The Bishop of Kent said excitedly, his eyes lit up like searchlights.

As soon as his words fell, Ye Tian immediately waved his fist lightly, pretending to be excited and said:

"Bingo! That's the difference between the two marble floors, that's what makes them special! If I'm not mistaken, these marbles are far thicker and heavier than the others.

It is speculated that they were most likely collected and transported by the Templars themselves, unlike the Poorbeck marbles, which were collected and processed by royal craftsmen at the time and then transported by hand.

If this is true, then why would the Knights Templar go to such a length, and only one explanation seems to make sense, that they are trying to cover up some secret, and that secret is in this cell."

David and Bishop Kent nodded in unison, and everyone became more excited, and their eyes became hotter as they looked at the area in the center of the cell.

After a pause, Ye Tian continued:

"Speaking of which, it is necessary to mention the origin of this 'confessional cell', where Walter, the 'bachelor', the head of the Irish branch of the Knights Templar, was imprisoned shortly after the completion of the Temple Chapel.

The reason for the famous Templar's imprisonment was that he had disobeyed the orders of the then chief of the Templar Order, and Walter was imprisoned without any food or drink, and was reportedly starved to death in this cell.

The cell was named the 'Confessional Cell', and after Walter's death here, many of the ghostly tales associated with it were born, which sounded so scary that the Knights Templar sealed the cell.

After the fall of the Knights Templar, King Henry VIII of England acquired the Templar Chapel from the Knights Hospitaller, and soon lent it to the Lawyers' House, which was rarely used by the lawyers, perhaps out of taboo.

Now I have some doubts that Walter the 'Bachelor' actually starved to death here, and that the widespread and creepy ghost legends may have been deliberately carried out by the Knights Templar in order to hide their eyes.

In addition, there is another suspicion, as a felon's cell, the confession cell is too close to the vault, only a dozen meters apart, and from these aspects, there may be a huge secret hidden here."

"Wow, what's the secret? It's so exciting."

"Could it be that the Templar treasure is buried deep underground in the confessional cell, right under our feet, and if that were the case, it would be perfect."

A voice of emotion sounded in the confessional cell, coming from the mouths of David and the others.

Immediately afterwards, the Bishop of Kent could not wait to say:

"Steven, what are you waiting for? Let's open these marble floors and see what secret lies beneath them, whether it's a Templar treasure."

Ye Tian turned his head to look at the cardinal, then smiled and shook his head lightly and said:

"Don't worry, Bishop of Kent, let's take it one step at a time, if the Knights Templar's treasure is really hidden here, since it has been hidden for more than seven hundred years, it will not grow wings and fly in an instant.

Jason, scan this place with a pulsed metal detector to see if there's any response, and then let's lift the heavy marble floor and uncover the secrets hidden deep underground."

As he spoke, Ye Tian pointed to the area in the center of the cell, and then took a few steps back.

"Okay, Steven, leave it to us"

Jason nodded in response, and as soon as David and Bishop Kent stepped away, they began scanning the ground with metal detectors.

Almost in the blink of an eye, the results are in.

Suddenly, a pleasant sound sounded in the confessional cell, and it sounded like heaven.

"Great, Steven, you guessed it right, there are metal objects buried deep underground here, it should be about three meters deep, I don't know if it's a treasure"

Jason said with a fluttering eyebrow, and he was about to dance with excitement.

Before his words fell, Ye Tian and David had already stepped forward and looked at the corresponding data detected on the liquid crystal display.

Glancing at the detection data, Ye Tian immediately said categorically:

"As I expected, there is indeed a hidden secret here, from the analysis of the detected data, under these marble floors, there are many metal objects, about three meters and a half deep.

Hopefully that's the Templar treasure we've been looking for, Jason, and you'll take a few guys up there and take down the digging tools and the simple lifting gear we've brought.

All protective equipment, bright lights, oxygen cylinders, cutting equipment, explosion-proof shields, etc., have also been taken down, and we will try to complete the battle and uncover this secret as soon as possible.

If you go up and carry the equipment, you're going to get the attention of the Brits, the press, and the onlookers, telling everyone that you have to keep it a secret.

Until this secret is uncovered and what is hidden deep underground, everything about this place must not be revealed, even if it is Prince William."

"Understand, Steven, we know the severity and will never leak anything"

Jason nodded categorically, then put down the pulsed metal detector and walked out of the confessional cell.

As soon as he left, Ye Tian had already picked up the walkie-talkie and said:

"Cole, Leonardo, send a few more armed security guards to come down and guard the entrances to the confessional cell, and you must not let anyone else in without my permission."

"Okay, Steven, we'll send someone down right away"

Cole was the first to respond, followed by Leonardo's voice.

After quickly arranging it, Ye Tian squatted down again and continued to observe the special marble floors.

After observing for a moment, he pulled out a crowbar from the backpack next to him and tried to pry the marble floors.

Unfortunately, the marble floors are so tight that there is not enough space to insert a crowbar, and they are made of concrete trenches, which are very strong.

Seeing this situation, Ye Tian could only give up and wait for Jason and them to carry the tools down.
