Chapter 1862 Leon in the twilight
Lyon, located in the southeast of France, near the Alps, where the rivers Rhône and Saône meet, nourish the city and give it a unique charm!
It is the second largest city in France, the capital of the Rhône-Alpes region and the capital of the Rhône department.
In addition, Lyon is also an important industrial city in France, the most important scientific and educational center after Paris, with strong strength in machinery, electronics, chemicals, heavy vehicles, computers and other industries.
Located in the southeast of France, this city is home to more than 20 colleges and universities, as well as many research institutes, and is also known as the university town of France.
Lyon is also a world-famous cultural and artistic center, including the Vieux Lyon, which is a World Heritage Site, as well as the most important museum in France after the Louvre, the Musée de Lyon, known as the 'Little Louvre', and so on!
At the same time, Lyon is an ancient city with a rich history.
More than 2,000 years ago, Lyon was founded under Roman rule, and later became the capital of the Kingdom of Burgundy until the 14th century, when it began to be controlled by the Kingdom of France.
At different times, the rulers of the city have built a lot of buildings in the city of Lyon, leaving behind many historical relics.
To this day, in Vieux Lyon, a World Heritage Site, you can still see historic buildings built between the 15th and 17th centuries, with vibrant orange-red hues.
Vieux Lyon, Romantic, Gothic, Renaissance, and Classical art nouveau buildings are lined up one after another.
Walking through Vieux Lyon, wandering through the old streets, everyone can clearly feel the atmosphere of antiquity, as if they are in the Middle Ages.
However, these are not the reasons that attracted the joint exploration team to Lyon.
What really attracted the joint expedition to Lyon was the Château d'Arzhny, a medieval castle not far from Lyon in the city of Ronterne, the fief of the Comte de Beauge.
According to history, when Jacques de Molay, the last Grand Master of the Templars, learned from prison that France was going to destroy the Templars completely, he took steps to preserve the Templars' 'tradition and noble basic doctrine'.
He summoned his nephew, the young Count of Giese de Beauge, to prison, who was then Count Beauge, whom Jacques de Molay had secretly succeeded him.
He then made Count Beauge swear to God that in order to save the Templars in the future, he would preserve some treasures, which were the famous Templar treasures, until the 'end of the world'.
After Jacques de Molay was burned at the stake, his nephew, Count Beauge, asked Philip IV for permission to bring Molay's body back and bury it elsewhere.
Philip IV was very generous and agreed to his request, so the Count of Beauge took the body of Jacques de Molay and buried it in his domain.
Legend has it that during the transport of the body, the Count of Beauge took advantage of the opportunity to take large quantities of gold and silver, as well as precious stones, as well as legendary Christian relics, from the main hall of the Knights Templar.
He brought back the huge amount of treasure that had once made Philip IV salivate, and then found a place to bury it, covering up all clues with mysterious symbols unique to the Knights Templar!
As for King Philip IV of France, he worked hard in vain, and even though he killed all the people, he did not find the treasure of the Knights Templar that he most wanted, but was cursed to death by Jacques de Molay!
From then on, the Knights Templar's 200-year accumulation of a treasure that would have made everyone crazy had completely disappeared and became a famous mystery in history!
As time passed, news began to circulate that Count Beauge had buried the Templar treasures in his fiefdom, which immediately attracted countless covetous eyes.
From the beginning of the 14th century to the present, countless people have been rushing to Alzhni Castle like a raging tide to find the Templar treasure!
Among the people who came here in search of the Templar Order's treasures were the king's men of France, knights, thieves, professional treasure hunters, and people who wanted to get rich overnight and change their lives.
However, none of them were found, not a single hair was found, let alone the insane Templar treasure!
Even so, there are still many legends about the treasures of the Knights Templar around the current Alzhny Castle and throughout the city of Langtai!
These legends still have great magical power, and they continue to attract waves of treasure hunters to explore the treasures of the Knights Templar!
Ye Tian and their joint exploration team are the latest group of treasure hunters attracted by the treasures of the Templar Order.
Of course, their joint exploration team is also the largest and most powerful wave of treasure hunters, and is also considered by all to be the most likely to find the Templar treasure.
The treasure hunt in Cyprus and the Christian relics, antiques, gold and silver treasures that have come to light and shocked the whole world are the best proof of this, and no one can deny it!
In the evening, the joint exploration convoy finally arrived in Lyon and drove into the city of Lyon!
The arrival of this huge convoy immediately caused a huge sensation in the city of Lyon, and also attracted countless attentions, including many that shimmered with greedy light.
When the joint exploration convoy was escorted by a large number of French policemen and sped through the streets, the streets were immediately completely drowned out by the noise of one after another.
As expected, the joint exploration team formed by the Vatican and the Brave Explorer finally came to Lyon, and there is no doubt that they must have come to the Château de Arzhni.
If the Knights Templar treasure is really buried in Alzhni Castle, with the magic of that guy Steven, it will be very possible to find the Templar treasure and uncover the secret that has been hidden for more than 700 years!"
"The size of this joint expedition is so exaggerated that it's jaw-dropping, and it can be seen from this that both the Vatican and Steven have a stake in the Templar treasures.
The Vatican's discovery of the Knights Templar's treasure was a good thing to be happy about, and it couldn't have been better!, but it was too distressing to let that bastard Steven take all the worldly belongings from the treasure.
And that bastard Steven's appetite probably doesn't stop there, just like when he came to Lyon not long ago, and in the next few days, the antique art market in Lyon will probably experience another catastrophe!"
While the people on the street were talking, excited, or worried, Ye Tian and David, who were sitting in the 15th Knight of Knights, were enjoying the night view of Lyon outside the car window, talking and chatting.
"Steven, what's going to happen in the next few days? In addition to going to the Château de Arzhny to explore the treasures, are you going to visit the antique art market again?
David asked jokingly, looking eager to try.
Ye Tian shook his head slightly, and then said with a smile:
"I'm not going to visit the antique market in Lyon anymore, and after the previous joint sweep with Bowie, the antique art market in Lyon doesn't want to take a break anytime soon.
At this time, if you go to sweep the antique art market in Lyon, it is estimated that you will not find a few valuable things, so let those colleagues in Lyon rest and recuperate, and we will come back in a year or two!"
"Hahaha, you guy is so bad, if those antique dealers in Lyon hear your words, they will probably be angry on the spot!"
David laughed and said, looking gloating.
After a pause, Ye Tian continued:
"Tomorrow we can go to the Musée de Lyon and admire the top art displayed there, the last time I came to Lyon, because of the rush of time, I didn't have a lot of fun, this time I just made up for it.
The day after tomorrow, we can set off for Langtai City and explore the treasures at Alzhni Castle, hoping that the rumors that have been circulating for hundreds of years are true, and the Knights Templar treasures are buried there!"
As he spoke, the speed of the convoy slowed down, and the hotel that everyone had booked appeared not far ahead, and the lights were brilliant.
After the convoy drove to the entrance of the hotel and many vehicles stopped one after another, Cole and Leonardo immediately got out of the car with a large number of armed security personnel and quickly established a defensive line.
After confirming that the scene was safe, Ye Tian and David, as well as the Bishop of Kent, who was sitting in another knight XV, opened the car door and got out of the car, and landed at the door of the hotel.
As soon as he got out of the car, Cole came over with a few Frenchmen, basically old friends.
They were the French Minister of Culture, a close confidant of the French president, Martinez, the director of the Louvre Museum, and two senior priests in friars' robes.
Seeing them, Ye Tian and David immediately looked at each other and smiled, and then stepped forward together.
