The tripartite joint press conference has ended, and many reporters from the world's major news media have left in a hurry and rushed to press the press release.

However, Ye Tian did not leave St. Paul's Cathedral, but under the leadership of the Bishop of Kent, he came to a reception room, accompanied by David.

When they entered the room, there was no one else inside, it was empty.

It was only when Ye Tian and David entered the reception room and sat down that Bishop Kent explained the reason for bringing them here.

"Steven, the representative of the Israeli side will be here soon to meet with you, and the Israelis have informed us at short notice, so we have not had time to greet you.

Originally, the Israelites wanted to wait for these six religious relics to arrive at the Vatican before contacting you, but when they heard that you were going to personally escort those Chinese antiques and artworks back to Beijing, they did so early."

Hearing this, Ye Tian and David immediately glanced at each other, and both of them saw a trace of curiosity in each other's eyes.

Immediately afterwards, Ye Tian said with a smile:

"It doesn't matter, Bishop of Kent, sooner or later we have to meet with the Israelis, and what does it matter sooner or later?

And one more thing, I think the Israelis are so desperate to meet with me, not just because of the fire that night before?

"According to the report just reported by the Israeli side, we will meet with you this time with an old friend we met in Jerusalem, Israel's Deputy Minister of Culture Joshua, and a mysterious person.

It is not known who this mysterious person is, but I am sure that he is definitely a higher and more important figure than Joshua, a heavyweight in Israeli politics.

As for the purpose of the Israelis, I don't know, but you can rest assured that the Israelis have promised that they will not take revenge on you for the defeat that night."

The Bishop of Kent continued, his eyes equally full of curiosity.

"In that case, let's just wait here and see what tricks the Israelis are up to."

Ye Tian nodded with a chuckle, his expression was very calm.

Next, the Bishop of Kent changed the subject.

"Steven, when will you return to Europe after you go to Beijing, and then we will go to the next country and continue to explore the treasures of the Knights Templar."

"I'm afraid it will be a few days, and after I get back to Beijing and settle the top Chinese antiques that I have exchanged, I will fly to New York immediately, and there are still many things to deal with there.

My personal gallery at the Met, 'Kings and Knights', has been set up, and it's time to unveil it, and I can't be absent from the unveiling ceremony, so I have to be there to cut the ribbon.

After dealing with New York, it was almost time for the Chinese New Year, the most important festival of the year for Chinese, and I had to take Betty back to Beijing to celebrate the New Year with my family.

During the Chinese New Year, I have to make up a Chinese wedding in Beijing and deal with the preparation of a private museum, and I have to be busy for a while, and when these things are done, it will be early March.

Then we will have to return to New York to take care of some corporate business, and it is estimated that around March 10th, we will be in Europe again to continue our joint exploration of the Templar treasures."

Ye Tian explained a few words, and did not hide it from the Bishop of Kent, and there was no need for that.

Hearing this, the Bishop of Kent was silent for a moment, and then smiled and nodded:

"That's fine, you can rest for a while, relax your tense nerves, to be honest, since the start of the joint exploration operation, I have been in a state of high tension and excitement, and I am indeed a little tired!"

"Indeed, during this time, we can not only take a good rest, but also do a little preliminary preparation, and when the joint exploration operation starts again, I hope we can make greater discoveries."

"Okay, let's arrange it like this"

In the midst of laughter and small talk, seven or eight minutes passed quickly.

Suddenly, there were several knocks on the door of the reception room, and then the door of the reception room was pushed open from the outside.

Leonardo was the first to walk in, taking a quick glance of the reception room.

Immediately afterward, the Pope and a white man in his seventies entered the reception room, followed by a cardinal and Israel's Deputy Minister of Culture, Joshua.

Seeing these people coming in, Ye Tian and the others immediately stood up and greeted them with a smile on their faces.

In three or two steps, Ye Tian came to the front and greeted the white man in his seventies.

"Good afternoon, Mr. President, I'm Steven, it's a pleasure to see you here, I didn't expect you to be here, what an unexpected surprise"

That's right, the white man in his seventies who walked into this reception room with the Pope was none other than the President of Israel.

In Israel, although the president has no real power, and his power is far less than that of the prime minister, it is only a symbolic position, but after all, he is the head of state, and his position is naturally very important.

The appearance of the Israeli president here is indeed a bit unexpected by Ye Tian.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Steven, it seems that you know me, then I don't need to introduce myself, and I am glad to meet you, I have been known for your name for a long time"

The Israeli president said with a smile and shook hands with Ye Tian.

Next, Ye Tian introduced David again and shook hands with Joshua, Israel's Deputy Minister of Culture.

After getting to know each other and greeting each other, they sat down on the sofa and began to chat.

In the process, neither Ye Tian nor Bishop Kent, nor the President of Israel nor Joshua mentioned the previous rainy night battle in the Temple Church, as if the fire had never happened at all.

The cardinal, who followed the pope into the reception room, and Leonardo, who was in charge of security, exited the meeting room and closed the door.

There were only three people left in the reception room, representing the Pope and the Bishop of Kent, the Vatican, Ye Tian and David of the Brave Exploration Company, and the President of Israel and Joshua.

After a few small talks, the Israeli president finally got to the point and said what he meant.

"Steven, in this series of explorations carried out jointly by your company and the Vatican, your performance is truly astonishing, breathtaking, and there seems to be no treasure in the world that you cannot find.

Here, on behalf of all the people of Israel, on behalf of all the followers of Judaism, and on behalf of all the Jews of the world, I would like to express my gratitude to you for the discovery of those holy objects of Judaism.

Whether it's the bronze menorah of King Herod the Great that you found in Jerusalem, or the Gospel of Hebrew and the golden menorah of King Solomon, every sacred relic is significant."

As he spoke, the Israeli president stretched out his right hand again and shook hands with Ye Tian.

"Mr. President, in fact, you don't have to be polite, the discovery of those religious relics is just a coincidence, for me, it is all an unexpected joy, of course, these are all good things, worth celebrating!"

Ye Tian shook hands with the President of Israel and said a few polite words.

Next, the Israeli president continued:

"Inspired by your joint exploration operation, we in Israel also want to cooperate with you in the search for a legendary and famous treasure, on the terms of which can be referred to the joint exploration agreement you have signed with the Vatican.

In other words, all the coordinated preparations for the search for this treasure are done by us in Israel, and you are only responsible for leading the team to explore the treasure, and if you are lucky enough to find the treasure, we can distribute the treasure according to the agreement.

We will only take the religious relics in the treasure and the artifacts that symbolize the Jewish people, and all other worldly goods will belong to your Brave Explorer Company, and if we cannot find the treasure, we will also compensate you.

That's why we've come to you, I don't know what you think, we have some information about that legendary treasure, but we don't know the accuracy, so you need to verify it."

Hearing this, Ye Tian's eyes instantly lit up, shining brightly.

Before the President of Israel could finish speaking, he had basically guessed what the Israelis were looking for was the treasure, one of the most famous treasures in the history of the world.

He did not respond immediately, yes or no, but pretended to think about it, and then asked pretending to be curious:

"Mr. President, I would like to know what this famous treasure that you Israel intends to explore with me is, can you tell me about it?"

With his words, the Pope and the Bishop of Kent, as well as David, all looked at the President of Israel, and everyone was full of curiosity in their eyes.

The Israeli president glanced at Ye Tian deeply, and then said with a solemn face:

"Solomon's Treasure! What we are going to explore is the legendary Solomonic Treasure, and we are eager to find the Jewish relics stored in Solomon's Treasure, the Old Testament, the Sinai, and even the Ark of the Covenant.

According to ancient legends, Solomon's treasure contained dozens or hundreds of tons of gold, jewels, and diamonds, and if you find the treasure, all the worldly treasures will be yours, and we in Israel will buy them at market price."

Before his words fell, an exclamation sounded at the scene.

"Oh my God, it's Solomon's Treasure, one of the most famous treasures in the world, even more famous than the Knights Templar's Treasure!"

"Wow! If you can find the legendary treasure of Solomon, it will definitely cause a sensation in the whole world!"

Both the Bishop of Kent and David exclaimed in low voices, and even the Pope was shocked.

Only Ye Tian, whose face was quite solemn, fell silent.

Of course, this is just a show.

After a moment of silence, he said in a deep voice:

"The temptation to join forces to explore the legendary Solomon Treasure is very great and tempting, and I would love to unlock the secrets of this world-famous treasure, which will be a historic moment.

As for whether there were dozens or hundreds of tons of gold and jeweled diamonds in Solomon's treasure, I don't really care and don't believe that 3,000 years ago, metal smelting technology had not yet reached that level.

As far as I know, the most likely place to bury Solomon's treasure is on Mount Zion in Jerusalem, where Solomon's temple was once located, and legend has it that Solomon's treasure was buried.

If the treasure is being explored on Mount Zion, or elsewhere in Jerusalem, then I'm sorry, I can't work with you, and I don't want to start a religious war because of an expedition."

This time it was the turn of the Israelis to be silent, and both the President of Israel and Joshua were silent and did not say a word.

A moment later, the Israeli president said with a wry smile:

"Steven, Mount Zion in Jerusalem is indeed one of the targets, and since you have concerns, you can exclude Mount Zion from the joint exploration program, and we Israelis will explore it alone.

In addition to Mount Zion in Jerusalem, there are several other possible places where the treasure is buried, and they are not in Jerusalem and the surrounding area, but on the African continent, and that should be fine, right?"

Hearing this, a bright smile immediately bloomed on Ye Tian's face.
