Treasure Hunt all over the World

Not long after David and Jason entered the basement next door, Ye Tian's slightly excited voice came from the intercom.

"Jason, you brought a pulse metal detector to the confession cell. David and Bishop of Kent, come here too. I found something special in the confession cell. It is worth studying."

Hearing his words, everyone's eyes brightened, and they suddenly became excited.

Did the magical fellow Steven discover the treasure of the Knights Templar? If so, that would be great.

"Okay, Steven, let's come right now"

With that said, the kid Jason has already stepped out and walked quickly towards the door of the basement with the pulse metal detector, looking like he can't wait.

David and the Bishop of Kent did the same and immediately followed.

In a blink of an eye, a few of them had arrived in the ‘confession cell’ and joined Ye Tian.

At this time, Ye Tian was squatting in the center of the confession cell, carefully studying the marble floor under his feet.

Seeing this scene, David immediately asked curiously:

"Steven, the special thing you said, is it these marble floors? What's so special about them?"

Having said that, David and the others looked at the few floors in the center of the cell, full of doubts.

In their eyes, those marble floors seemed to be no different from other surrounding floors, and there was nothing special about them.

Ye Tian looked up at them, then smiled and explained:

"When the Temple Church was built in the late twelfth century, it was the strongest time for the Knights Templar. They imitated the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem and the dome of the Holy Rock and built this temple at all costs.

During the construction process, the Knights Templar unrestrictedly used a large amount of Pulbeck marble from Dorset in southern England to build this England headquarters, which can be called a very luxurious.

The basement chambers of the Saint Anna Chapel and several other basements that we have explored before, without exception, the ceilings, walls, floors, etc., are all made of Purbek marble.

The same is true for this confession cell. Most of the places are using Pulbeck marble, but the floors in the center of the cell are different from Pulbeck marble. You can take a closer look."

Before they had finished speaking, David and the Bishop of Kent had already squatted down, and with great interest they began to look at the thick and old marble floor engraved with patterns in the center of the cell.

"It can be seen that the patterns engraved on these floors and the mysterious symbols unique to the Knights Templar are no different from other floors around them. They should be placed here at the same time.

However, if you look carefully at the texture and color of these marbles themselves, and compare them with other marble floors around you, you will find the difference."

Ye Tian pointed at the patterns, mysterious symbols, and lines on the marble slab while explaining to David and Jason.

Under his explanation, David and the others quickly saw the special features of these marble floors.

"Yes, Steven, these marble floors are indeed different from other floors. They look coarser, not as delicate as Pulbeck marble, and are relatively darker in color."

Bishop Kent said excitedly, his eyes bright as searchlights.

As soon as his voice fell, Ye Tian immediately waved his fist gently, pretending to be excited, and said:

"Bingo! This is the difference between the two types of marble floors, and this is what makes them special! If I'm not mistaken, the thickness and weight of these pieces of marble far exceed those of the other marble floors.

It is speculated that they were probably collected and transported by the members of the Knights Templar themselves, unlike those Purbek marbles, which were collected and processed by royal craftsmen at the time, and then sent by special personnel.

If this conjecture is true, why did the Knights Templar bother to do such a thing? It seems that there is only one explanation that makes sense. They are trying to cover up what secret, and this secret is in this cell."

David and the Bishop of Kent nodded together. Everyone became more excited, and the eyes that looked at the area in the center of the cell became even hotter.

After a short pause, Ye Tian continued:

"Speaking of this, we must introduce the origin of this'confessional cell'. Soon after the Temple Church was completed, Walter the'Bachelor', the head of the Irish branch of the Knights Templar, was imprisoned here.

The reason for imprisoning the famous Templar was that he violated the order of the then commander of the Knights Templar. After being imprisoned, Walter did not receive any food and drink. It is said that he was starved to death in this cell.

This cell was also named the ‘confessional cell’. After Walter died here, there were many ghost legends related to this place. They sounded very scary, and the Knights Templar closed the cell.

After the collapse of the Knights Templar, King Henry VIII of England obtained the Temple Chapel from the Knights Hospital, and soon lent it to the Lawyers' Hall. Perhaps out of taboo, those lawyers rarely used this cell.

Now I am a little doubtful whether Walter the Bachelor really starved to death here. The creepy ghost legends that have spread so widely may be deliberately done by the Knights Templar in order to conceal people.

In addition, there is another doubt. As a felon cell, the confession cell is too close to the vault. The distance between them is less than ten meters. From these aspects, there may be a huge secret hidden here."

"Wow! What could this secret be? It's really exciting."

"Could it be that the treasure of the Knights Templar is buried deep underground in the penitent cell, right under our feet, if it is so, it would be perfect"

There was a voice of emotion in the confession cell, which came from David and the others.

Immediately afterwards, the Bishop of Kent couldn't wait to say:

"Steven, what are you waiting for? Let's quickly open these marble floors to see what secrets are hidden underneath, whether it is a treasure of the Knights Templar"

Ye Tian turned to look at the cardinal, then smiled and shook his head slightly and said:

"Don't worry, Bishop of Kent, let's take it step by step. If the Knights Templar treasure is really hidden here, since it has been hidden for more than 700 years, it will not fly with wings in an instant.

Jason, you can scan this place with a pulsed metal detector to see if there is any response, and then we will open these heavy marble floors and explore the secrets hidden deep underground."

With that, Ye Tian pointed to the area in the center of the cell, and then stepped back.

"Okay, Steven, leave it to us"

Jason nodded in response. After David and Bishop Kent retreated, they immediately began to scan the ground with a metal detector.

Almost in the blink of an eye, the result was already out.

The confession cell suddenly sounded a sweet reminder, sounding like a natural sound.

"It's great, Steven, you guessed it. There are metal objects buried deep underground here. The depth should be about three meters. I don't know if it is a treasure."

Jason said excitedly, almost dancing with excitement.

His voice hadn't fallen yet, Ye Tian and David had already stepped forward and looked at the corresponding data detected on the LCD.

After glanced at the detection data, Ye Tian immediately said firmly:

"As I expected, there are hidden secrets here. From the data analysis detected, there are many metal objects under these marble floors, with a depth of about 3.5 meters.

I hope that is the treasure of the Knights Templar we are looking for, Jason, you bring a few guys up and take down the excavation tools and simple lifting equipment we brought.

All the protective equipment, bright lights, oxygen cylinders, cutting equipment, and explosion-proof shields have also been taken down. We strive to complete our efforts and uncover this secret as soon as possible.

Once you go up and move the equipment, you will inevitably attract the attention of those British guys, media reporters, and many onlookers, telling everyone that everyone must keep it strictly confidential.

Before revealing this secret and figuring out what is hidden deep underground, everything about this place must not be revealed, even if the inquirer is Prince William"

"Understood, Steven, we know the severity and will never reveal any news."

Jason nodded decisively ~www.ltnovel.com~ and then put down the pulse metal detector and walked out of the confession cell.

He just left, Ye Tian had picked up the intercom and said:

"Cole, Leonardo, you can send a few more armed security personnel to guard the entrances to the penitent cell. Without my permission, you must not let anyone else in."

"Okay, Steven, we will send someone down right away"

Cole responded first, and then Leonardo's voice came.

After finishing the quick arrangement, Ye Tian squatted down again and continued to observe those special marble floors.

After observing for a while, he took a crowbar from the backpack next to him and tried to pry the marble floor.

It is a pity that the joints between the marble floors and other surrounding floors are very close, there is not enough space to insert the crowbar, and the joints of the concrete ditch are very strong.

Seeing this, Ye Tian could only give up and wait for Jason and the others to move the tools down.
