Chapter 308 Solomon's Temple and the Holy Grail

"Although it seems that he is also a superhuman with good strength, according to the information I got in the dream world, Washington, Franklin, and Jefferson were all the top superhumans in the New World at that time, and they were placed on the old continent. He can be regarded as a first-class master, it seems that this missionary failed to escape from the treasure ship in the end, and this note fell into the hands of the founder of the federation, and then was stored in this treasure!"

Regarding the fate of the missionary, Xie Zihao just sighed in his heart. After all, he was a character more than 200 years ago, so he has little to do with him. , but gave Xie Zihao a great opportunity to broaden his horizons.

In particular, it also records information about the location of a mysterious treasure that the Knights Templar has been pursuing since its establishment nearly a thousand years ago, that is, the legendary temple of ancient King Solomon.

Speaking of this, I have to mention the origin of the military organization of the Knights Templar.

The Knights Templar, also known as the Knights of the Temple, its official full name is "The Poor Knights of the Temple of Christ and Solomon".

Listening to the name will make people who don't know why a little surprised. How can the Church of Light be associated with King Solomon in the legend of the Gold Men?
Although the three desert religions have the same source in essence, none of the three recognized the other two, and they all regarded them as demons and heresies.

So the origin of the Knights Templar is actually interesting. As one of the three famous knights in the Western world, it was founded by a French nobleman, Hugo de Paying and Geoffrey de Saint-Omo , the original resident was based on the Al-Aqsa Mosque on the Temple Mount, and such a monks' order was established to protect the safety of pilgrims who came to the Holy Land and attack those heretics.

The Knights Templar got its name because Baldwin II of the Kingdom of Jerusalem at that time gave these knights a corner of the Al-Aqsa Mosque on the Temple Mount.

According to legend, this mosque was built on the ruins of King Solomon's temple, so the monks were named the Knights Templar.

In his previous life, he knew this name because of a film adapted from a novel, that is, The Da Vinci Code. The content in it is of course a fictional plot based on historical legends, but considering that this is a world where film and television works are real, The plot in the movie might not appear in reality.

He still remembered that in "The Da Vinci Code", it was said that the original founder of the Knights Templar knew that the secret of the legendary King Solomon was hidden under Solomon's Temple, so he asked to be stationed on the Temple Mount. In order to protect the light believers who came to pilgrimage and resist those heretics, it is actually to facilitate the discovery of the secrets hidden under the Temple Mount.

It is said in the novel that through these secrets, those people gained power, so they mastered the lifeline of the Illuminati Church, and were finally suppressed and massacred because of this.

Of course, Xie Zihao understood that it was just a novelist's words, so he couldn't take it completely seriously.

However, the strength and wealth of the Knights Templar are real. They are considered to be the true masters of the East in the Crusades era, and they are also the main military force that the Kingdom of Jerusalem, which is surrounded by enemies, relies on against the Arabs.

Xie Zihao then browsed down and saw the contents of the ancient documents translated by the missionary.

The Knights Templar, a group of monks, had only nine members at first, but ten years later, the Knights Templar was officially supported by the Holy Court of Rome. Because they are far away from the holy place where the pagans are everywhere, they are chartered to have many privileges , Therefore, the rapid growth of this military organization has won the support of many Illuminati believers, and its power and wealth have grown enormously, and even developed the earliest banking industry in the West.

In terms of resisting heretics, this organization has made great sacrifices and contributions to the camp of the Church of Light.Especially against the Brotherhood of the Star-Moon Sect, which is also a religious and military organization, that's right, the Brotherhood of Assassins that released a game in another world.

According to the records in the notes, the two parties, as religious organizations of opposing sects, have been fighting and fighting for nearly a thousand years.Even after hundreds of years, they are still sworn enemies.

Xie Zihao also discovered that in the ancient documents translated by the missionary in the sheepskin notes, it is said that it was because the Knights Templar was established on the ruins of Solomon's Temple that they discovered some secrets of King Solomon, and it has been going on for a long time. They are all committed to finding the real location of Solomon's Temple, which is said to allow mortals to gain the power of God.

For the Church of Light, it is absolutely taboo for mortals to spy on the power of the Lord, so the Knights Templar gradually drifted away from the Church of Light, and eventually betrayed the Church. They were regarded as heresies by the Holy Court, and then ordered by Philip IV dissolve.

So in [-], many members of the Knights Templar were arrested in France, tortured and burned at the stake on charges of heresy.

"Historically, in [-], Pope Clement V, who was in the Holy See of Avignon, was pressured by Philip IV and announced the disbandment of the Knights Templar. But the records here are somewhat different! Look It turns out that the Holy Court of Light has made trouble with the Knights Templar because of certain interests and secrets, so it united with secular forces to wipe out the opponent."

However, as an extraordinary organization that has obtained the power of "God", the Knights Templar is obviously not so easy to be wiped out. The remaining members have been hiding in the dark and continue to adhere to the legacy of their ancestors. The missionary here also guessed that even the split of the church, the emergence of Protestantism, the fall of the Holy Land, the spread of the power of the Xingyue Cult and the occupation of Eastern Europe and other major events were all revenge by this organization!

Seeing this, Xie Zihao couldn't help being shocked, he didn't expect such a little-known secret to be hidden in those histories.

And from these secrets, he can also glimpse the situation of the extraordinary world thousands of years ago.

"It seems that this time the treasure is not only the plot of the national treasure, but also involves the ancient extraordinary organizations such as the Brotherhood of Assassins and the Knights Templar. At least it is related to the plot of the Da Vinci Code movie. As for whether it involves other The plot is still uncertain."

So he turned to Ben Franklin who was still counting the treasures and asked:

"Ben, do you know the specifics of the Knights Templar?"

As an adventurer who has traveled all over the world, and a member of the Franklin family with family background, Ben also learned a lot of historical and legendary knowledge from his father and the family library. Hearing this question from his new employer, he thought for a while replied:
"The specifics are not very clear. This church organization disappeared after it was expelled from the Holy Court in the [-]th century. I only saw it in some ancient books. The latter is said to be the mysterious force that guards the Holy Grail and believes in Mary Magdalene, and its members also have their blood. These descendants are called holy descendants, because they have guarded the Holy Grail for generations People call it the Holy Grail family!"
