5 July 2013, Malta Island.

The island of Malta in the Mediterranean Sea, located between Libya and Sicily. The island of Malta is very small, at only 246 square kilometres. But on such a small island, the ruins of more than 30 megalithic temples have been discovered one after another. In 1902, on an unnoticed path in Valletta, the capital of the city, a sensational event occurred. A cave was discovered in the ground while someone was building a house, and it was later learned that a prehistoric structure was buried here. It consists of staggered, overlapping multi-level rooms with a few entrances and exits and marvelous little rooms, and a number of wall holes of various sizes next to them.

Malta is both an island and one of the smallest countries in the world, and the Republic of Malta is located on several islands in the middle of the Mediterranean, hence the "heart of the Mediterranean". Malta has a total area of 316 square kilometers, of which the island of Malta accounts for 2/3 of the total area, with a total population of 379,000, the vast majority of whom are Catholic, and the official languages are English and Maltese.

Malta is located in the middle of the Mediterranean, and its climate is of course typical of the Mediterranean maritime climate. Fresh water is saved in cisterns by God's gifts. Mineral water and distilled water are imported from abroad. None of the grains and vegetables are self-sufficient, and even if they do, they can only grow a little like the experimental plots, and most of them rely on imports.

However, these are definitely not people's first impressions of Malta. For many people, there are many people who think of Napoleon and the Knights Hospitaller whenever they hear the word "Malta".

The Knights Hospitaller, also known as the Knights of St. John the Baptist, was founded in 1099 by the French nobleman Gérard and several companions in the hospital near the Church of St. John the Baptist in Jerusalem, with the main purpose of caring for the wounded and pilgrims. In 1113, the Holy See recognized them as independent orders and granted them a series of economic and political privileges, such as no tithe, no need to be under the authority of any regime, and only papal moderation, a structure very similar to that of the Templars.

In 1530, on the orders of Pope Clement VIII and Holy Roman Emperor Charles V, the Knights Hospitaller came to the island of Malta and established the Knights of Malta (S.M.O.M) on the island by paying a symbolic rent of 1 Maltese Eagle coin per year to the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies.

The Order's rule on the island of Malta lasted until the 18th century, and on June 11, 1798, Napoleon forced the Knights Hospitaller to surrender and occupied the island, where the Order's churches and monasteries were sacked by the French. Most of the members of the Order went to Russia, where they were granted asylum by the Russian Tsar Pavel I, who elected Pavel I as the new Grand Master of the Order.

After leaving the island of Malta, the Order lost its territory, but remained as an organization. In 1834 the Order rebuilt its headquarters in Rome and finally stabilized again. The military mission of the Order has ended, and since then it has been mainly engaged in charitable works. Today, the Order of Malta is still an observer at the United Nations, and this is because it has no real land – it can be said that the Order of Malta is a "country without territory" in the world.

Malta is a sun-drenched island that can be circumnavigated in half a day by bus. It's sunny and warm all year round, just like Kunming in Yunnan province, and you don't need to wear a sweater even in the coldest part of winter.

Malta, the "heart of the Mediterranean", has a unique natural and cultural landscape, a good blend of ancient heritage and modern atmosphere, coupled with the comfortable environment of spring all year round, it is definitely a wonderful place to relax.

Every year, every day, many people will come to this warm "heart" to relax their body and mind - such as Yang Jian.

This time, though, he wasn't here for a vacation.

"......" In a private villa on the island of Malta, Yang Jian was looking at the surrounding decorations.

"I have to say that the taste of the original owner of this villa is still okay, at least this villa is very much to my appetite. Yang Jian gave his own evaluation for the overall style of this villa.

"But speaking of which, I still have to admire you, Your Highness Athena. After commenting on the taste of the original owner, Yang Jian changed the conversation and led the topic to the current owner of this villa, Athena.

"Oh?" Athena blinked her eyes as blue as the ocean but as clear as a river, "Your Royal Highness, I am really surprised by what you said. ”

"Shouldn't I admire you?" Yang Jian also blinked his eyes. Now, although he is wearing a suit without the slightest special bonus, his eyes are no longer the black full of Asian style when he first mixed into the world, but a deep and mysterious dark purple.

Those who are familiar with Yang Jian know that this is a state in which Yang Jian's spiritual power is highly concentrated and released outward.

In fact, after a look at Yang Jian, the taste of decoration style is only secondary, but Yang Jian's real purpose is to detect the magic trajectory here.

"Although, the three of us have reached a consensus on joint exploration and development of the Asa Ruins a few days ago, but for the sake of insurance, I only thought yesterday that you revealed the specific coordinates of the entrance to the enchantment, but I didn't expect that in less than a day, you had already bought this place, and even prepared the pastries and fruits for entertaining the guests as the host......" Speaking of this, Yang Jian not only glanced at the sofa.

Sun Wukong, who appeared at the door of the villa this morning, and Qin Yingwu, who came with Yang Jian, were sitting at both ends of the sofa, one holding a plate of fresh peaches in their hands, and the other holding a plate of delicate dim sum, both of them eating happily. On a single sofa not far from them, Li Juntian sat there with his head closed and his eyes closed, holding a cup of fruit tea with just the right temperature in his hand.

"What is even more commendable is that you are not using divine power, but genuine capital from the mortal world. Although you are the first god on the holy mountain to wake up from the 'cocoon', in less than 20 years, you can quickly integrate into today's modern world of superstition, witchcraft, informatization, and science and technology by relying on mortal means, and have also established such a powerful industrial empire spanning finance, military, science and technology politics, how can Yang not admire such means?"

"Where, where, how can all these years in the mortal world compare to your pleasure and happiness King Renyou......"

"What a sharp breath!" Li Juntian, who had been pouring down his eyes and tasting the fragrance of tea, suddenly opened his eyes, and a pale golden luster flashed in his eyes.

The atmosphere present instantly became a little subtle.

Sharp, breathy......
