After finishing the call with Cole, Ye Tian immediately said to David and Bishop Kent around him:

"Obviously, we have to speed up the movement. If there is really a crown of Baldwin IV, or other Christian relics, whether to allow the Mayor of Larnaca and the Bishop of the Greek Orthodox Church to enter here, it will be said again!

Especially the bishops of the Greek Orthodox Church, once they learn that we have discovered Christian holy objects, they will most likely be jealous and crazy. By then, the agreement reached by the Vatican with them will instantly become a piece of paper.

As an important branch of Christianity, their desire for Christian holy objects will never be weaker than that of the Vatican Church. Representatives from other sects and religious organizations outside the castle will be the same, and they will be completely crazy.

Of course, if the Vatican doesn’t mind sharing Christian holy objects with them, I have no objection, but every secular property and antique art here belongs to us, and no one can covet it!”

"Share Christian relics with the Greek Orthodox Church and other sects and religious organizations? That's impossible, they can't even think about it!"

Bishop Kent said firmly, his tone was extremely firm and unquestionable.

"Okay! Let's continue to act, and hope that these two gold-inlaid red sandalwood boxes contain what we want, which can bring us a huge surprise!"

As he said that, Ye Tian had reached into the metal box and opened the golden buckle of the golden buckle of the gold-inlaid leather box on the right.

"Bang"

With a crisp sound, the lid of the golden-clad sandalwood box was gently opened by Ye Tian and slowly lifted upwards.

There are no mechanism traps in the box, and no crossbow arrows or poison needles shot out, threatening everyone's safety.

However, after only lifting the lid of the box for more than ten centimeters and glanced at the situation in the box, Ye Tian suddenly stopped and said with a serious expression:

"Bithal Kent, the things stored here are likely to be closely related to Christianity and have extraordinary significance. I opened this box and took out the things inside. It seems inappropriate. You should do it!"

"Okay, Steven, then I'll open the box and take out the things inside!"

Bishop Kent nodded and immediately walked up to take over Ye Tian's job.

This is exactly what he wants, so he will refuse, and how can he bear to refuse.

Next, the Bishop of Kent carefully opened the gold-inlaid box, and the things contained in the box were immediately presented to everyone.

What caught everyone's eye was a dark gray linen that had turned into a dark gray to wrap an object with an irregular shape.

In the middle of the dark gray linen, there was a Knights Templar logo, other horse crosses, and some spots of traces, which looked more like stains!

Seeing what was in the box, Bishop Kent's eyes flashed with disappointment. This was obviously not the Christian holy object he wanted to see the most, the crown of Baldwin IV.

The same was true for David standing next to him, looking a little disappointed.

However, Ye Tian's expression suddenly became extremely solemn.

Just as Bishop Kent was about to uncover the dark gray linen, he suddenly said in a deep voice:

"Bithale Kent, be careful, I am sure that this dark gray linen must be of great importance and is even more important than Baldwin IV's crown.

If I read that right, this dark gray linen should be the triangular military flag of the Knights Templar. The background color turned out to be pure white, and the other crosses on the horse turned out to be red.

Because it was too old, the military flag became its current appearance due to oxidation. The spots on the military flag were 100% blood stains left by the Knights Templar!

The origin of things that can be solemnly wrapped by the blood-stained military flag of the Knights Templar must be extraordinary. When you uncover the military flag, be careful. The linen is already very fragile!"

Hearing Ye Tian’s words, Bishop Kent’s expression immediately changed and became much more solemn.

Next, he carefully pinched the edge of the blood-stained military flag and slowly uncovered it, revealing the things wrapped inside.

It was a dark wooden board with irregular shape, with the widest part about twenty-one or two centimeters, about thirty-five centimeters long and about fifteen centimeters thick.

It can be clearly seen that there are many traces of knife and axe chopping on the wooden board, as well as traces of burning fire, which can be said to be scarred.

Below that dark wooden board, a piece of parchment was flattened with some words written in Latin, and other crosses of the Knights Templar horses, and the logo of the Kingdom of Jerusalem.

When Bishop Kent's eyes flashed with disappointment once again when he saw these things.

However, when he saw clearly the lines of text at the top of the parchment, he suddenly became stunned.

Immediately afterwards, Ye Tian and David saw that Bishop Kent's body began to tremble slightly, and he seemed to be unable to stand firmly, and his eyes were filled with enthusiasm.

Bishop Kent did not feel much surprise as Ye Tian expected.

David was different. Looking at Bishop Kent's performance, this guy could still bear it.

"What exactly is this dark board? Why are you so excited? Bishop Kent, can you tell us?"

Bishop Kent seemed to have never heard of his inquiry and was still staring at the board in a daze, his body and hands and feet trembling even more.

Seeing this situation, Ye Tian was really worried.

This Vatican cardinal must not fall to the ground or even have a heart attack because of excessive excitement. If you leave it here, it will be a big trouble!

"You can wake up, Bishop Kent, no matter what this dark board is, how important it is, it has now seen the light of day again, and it is us who finds it, which is a good thing to celebrate!"

Ye Tian said in a low voice with a smile, and reached out and patted Bishop Kent on the shoulder.

As he moved, he fell into deep obsession and almost crazy Bishop Kent woke up.

Immediately afterwards, the Cardinal muttered to himself in a daze, and his soul seemed to have no idea.

"How is this possible? This is actually a fragment of the 'true cross'. Wasn't the real cross broken by Saladin's army? It has never appeared since 1187, and I have never heard of any fragments left behind!"

Before he finished speaking, David had already jumped three feet high and rushed up, and exclaimed loudly:

"I heard it right? This is a fragment of the true cross. If it is true, then there is no doubt that this will be a great discovery that will surely cause a sensation in the world!"

Just as David exclaimed loudly, Ye Tian also exclaimed in response, although he had already known what this dark wooden board was.

As their screams were heard, everyone in the hall was attracted by sight.

Without exception, when everyone heard the word "true cross", everyone was stunned in an instant, everyone was filled with incredible eyes, and seemed to be a little unable to believe their ears.

Immediately afterwards, everyone in the hall suspended their exploration work, put down the antique artwork in their hands, and rushed towards Ye Tian and the others like a tide. Everyone was extremely excited and even showed a little fanatical.

At this time, Bishop Kent finally woke up completely.

However, instead of picking up the fragment of the real cross in the box, or not daring to pick up the priceless treasure, he turned to look at Ye Tian and said in a vain:

"Steven, is this really a fragment of the 'true cross'? How did this Christian holy object appear here? Wasn't it broken by Saladin's army?

The top of the parchment paper inside the box said that it was a fragment of the "true cross" from Jerusalem and was brought to Cyprus by Gerard, the then head of the Knights Templar.

The rest of the content on the parchment was covered by the dark wooden board and could not be seen for the time being. May God bless you, hope that this is indeed a fragment of the ‘true cross’!”

When he said this, Bishop Kent still burst into tears, and even his voice was trembling. It was caused by excitement and a manifestation of extreme happiness.

Before he could finish his speech, the rest of the people in the underground hall had already rushed over, surrounding Ye Tian and the other two and the stone platform.

Fortunately, everyone still maintained a certain degree of rationality and did not get too close to Ye Tian and the stone platform, or they did not dare to get too close, which seemed to be more appropriate.

Except for Ye Tian, ​​the rest of the people here are all from the West and are all Christian believers. Everyone knows very well what the true cross means.

I heard that the box in front of Ye Tian and the others contained fragments of the "true cross". How dare they rush over? If the Christian holy object is damaged, then it will be a big deal!

When Bishop Kent finished speaking, everyone at the scene immediately looked at Ye Tian, ​​looking forward to his answer. Everyone's eyes were extremely hot and even a little crazy!

Ye Tian did not give an answer immediately, but carefully observed the dark wooden board in the box, then glanced at everyone at the scene, then said with a smile:

"Although everyone knows it, I still want to explain that the True Cross is one of the most important holy objects in Christianity, and is believed to be the cross that crucified Jesus Christ.

In the Christian tradition, the True Cross, as a symbol of Jesus Christ's redemption to mankind, has very important symbolic significance. Several festivals in Christianity come here.

During the Crusades, the True Cross was preserved in the holy land of Jerusalem, in the hands of the kings of the Kingdom of Jerusalem, and was regarded by the crusaders as the source of combat effectiveness.

In every major battle, the king of Jerusalem would come to the battlefield with the true cross, bringing strength to all the crusaders, and inspiring them to charge forward and defeat their opponents."

Hearing this, everyone at the scene nodded slightly, without any objection.
