Chapter 1826: major discovery

The huge swarm of bats has flown away, and I don't know where it has gone. The stench in the air has gradually faded, at least I can breathe.
Ye Tian and the others did not immediately explore the lower basement, but turned and left and returned to the ground.
The two bright lights and two high-power exhaust fans remained in the basement and continued to work to prevent the black ghosts from flying back and continue to replace the air in the basement.
As soon as they returned to the ground, the three of Ye Tian took off their protective suits, gas masks and other equipment, and replaced them with a new set.
As for the equipment that was replaced, they were quickly wrapped up and thrown away. After the exploration operation was over, they were torched and completely destroyed.
Next, Ye Tian briefly introduced the situation in the basement to the Bishop of Kent and David, and waited for the arrival of the garbage truck and fire truck together.
After saying a few words, Cole's voice suddenly came from the walkie-talkie.
"Steven, representatives of the Priory of the Martyrs and the Portuguese Jesuits, as well as several other churches and religious organizations, are here. The leaders are the old friends Depardieu and Alexandria who have met in Jerusalem.
They strongly requested to enter this medieval castle, participate in and supervise the ongoing joint exploration operations, and want to know what we have just discovered and where the large group of black bats came from.
Among these guys, there are two representatives of the Hospitallers. They claim that in the middle of the thirteenth century, the Hospitallers had been stationed in this castle for a period of time and had the right to participate in exploratory operations!
As for the other guys, such as the Russian gangsters and the Turks who are hiding farther away, they all have some signs of being ready to move, and obviously they are also doubting whether we have found something! "
Hearing what Cole reported, a sneer of disdain flashed across Ye Tian's face.
Without hesitation, he immediately picked up the walkie-talkie and said coldly:
"Let them stay cool, don't let any messy people wait in, notify all the buddies, and be prepared for battle. Once someone rushes into the castle, just go over them!
Don’t forget to notify the Cyprus police in charge of perimeter security and the UN peacekeeping forces to increase their vigilance. If they let them go, conflicts will inevitably occur.
Not to mention that we didn't find anything. Even if we found the treasures of the Knights Templar, it has nothing to do with the guys outside. They want to make a profit and make a dream of nothing! "
"Understood, Steven, I will reject those guys. As for the security issues, you can rest assured that there will never be any problems!"
Cole responded decisively and acted immediately.
Hearing the conversation between Ye Tian and Cole, the expressions of the Bishop of Kent couldn't help changing. The representatives of the Larnaca City Government and the Greek Orthodox Church who stood a little far away also became extremely ugly.
After pondering for a moment, the bishop of Kent said solemnly:
"Steven, we haven't found anything right now. There is no need to be too stale with those guys outside. That might really cause conflict and interfere with the ongoing exploration.
I take people out to tell those guys about the situation here. I believe I can dispel their thoughts. At the same time, I will reiterate our attitude again so that they will not continue to make noise.
In particular, the Knights of the Hospital and the Portuguese Jesuits are our subordinate organizations. Even if they have a covetous heart for the treasures of the Knights Templar, they dare not openly violate the orders of the Vatican! "
Ye Tian turned to look at the Bishop of Kent, then nodded slightly and said:
"Whether you go out and persuade those wishful thinking guys, Bishop Kent, if possible, I don't want to conflict with those guys. It will not do both sides any good!"
"Okay, Steven, leave the outside affairs to us!"
The bishop of Kent nodded in response, and immediately led people to the outside of the castle.
After a while, the outside calmed down, and the whole world suddenly became much quieter.
Those guys who jumped and shouted to enter the castle and participate in joint exploration operations, heard that Ye Tian and the others had found nothing, so they chose to die and continue to wait and see!
In a blink of an eye, more than half an hour passed.
Two garbage trucks that drained the sewer and two fire trucks finally arrived at the castle and quickly started work to clean up the stinking basement.
Next, the disgusting stench once again filled the entire castle and the area around the castle, suffocating all the unsuspecting guys outside without any protective equipment!
Under the attack of this wave of poisonous gas, those guys had to hide in the car again and quickly evacuated to a farther place, so as not to be smoked to death outside the castle.
After the garbage truck has pumped out the large amount of bat droppings accumulated in the basement, it is time for two fire trucks to leave the scene.
However, Ye Tian didn't let the firefighters from Larnaca enter the two basements, but took the people down by himself, resisting the nausea and started the final cleaning work.
They used high-pressure water guns to thoroughly clean both basements. Not only did they clean up the remaining bat droppings, but also the moss and dust in the basement!
Especially when cleaning the lower basement, Ye Tian only took Peter and Derek to clean up, and all the others stayed in the upper basement and above the ground.
During this period, no one else knew what happened in the lower basement!
After cleaning up and pumping out all the water in the basement, the two garbage trucks left the castle to dump bat droppings.
The two fire trucks also left the castle, but they are only to replenish water, and will return to the castle later in case of emergency!
After all these cars left the castle, Ye Tian began to plan the next move.
He first called Cole and Leonardo into the castle, then gathered the Bishop of Kent, Jason and David, and the others into the two-story Gothic building, and then pretended to whisper excitedly:
"Gentlemen, next we are going to explore the two basements of this Gothic building. When the lower basement was just cleaned, I discovered a little secret hidden here.
Before the exploratory operation begins, there is still some preparation work to be done. Not only must we avoid the eyes of the Cypriots and the Greek Orthodox Church, but also the guys outside the castle! "
Hearing his words, everyone at the scene was pleasantly surprised.
In particular, the Bishop of Kent and several senior priests from the Vatican were even more excited and almost cheered.
"Steven, did you find the Knights Templar treasure in the lower basement? If that's the case, it would be great!"
Bishop Kent asked in a low voice excitedly, his voice trembling.
Ye Tian shook his head slightly, smiled and said in a low voice:
"It's still not right now. When cleaning the lower basement just now, according to the water flow, I found that the basement is probably connected to a secret room or a secret passage leading to another place.
But what is hidden in that secret room, or where the secret path leads to, I don't know. Only by entering it can I know, hope it has something to do with the treasure! "
"Wow! There is still a secret room deep underground. It seems that we are really coming to Cyprus this time!"
"The guys of the Knights Templar are so cunning! They actually put the secret room with the water cell and turned it into a bat's lair. Who can think of it!"
There was a sound of exclamation on the scene, everyone was so excited that they almost danced!
Fortunately, everyone knew what was going on around them, and they deliberately controlled the volume so as not to be heard by those outside the Larnaca City Government and the Greek Orthodox Church.
"Then what are you waiting for? Steven, let's start, open the secret room or secret passage below to see what is hidden inside, whether it is a treasure of the Knights Templar!"
Bishop Kent said eagerly, wishing he could enter the basement, the secret room or the secret tunnel immediately.
"Don't worry, Bishop of Kent, we will be able to enter that secret room or secret passage later. They are there and will not disappear. But before that, there are still things to do to make sure nothing goes wrong!"
Ye Tian smiled and said in a low voice, comforting the Bishop of Kent and the others.
Immediately afterwards, he began to arrange tasks.
"Cole, Leonardo, you have set up two lines of defense inside and outside the castle. After we start our exploration operations, we will never allow anyone to enter this castle and this Gothic building until we return to the ground!
These include not only the arrogant guys outside the castle, but also representatives of Cyprus, those of the Greek Orthodox Church, and of course the soldiers of the United Nations peacekeeping force.
Let the three medium-sized helicopters in downtown Larnaca be on standby at all times, ready to take off at any time. Once they receive my order, they will immediately take off and come here to pick us up and provide air cover for us.
One more thing, you immediately notify the crew of the two private jets and ask them to rush to Larnaca International Airport immediately, fill up the fuel for the two private jets, and be ready to take off at any time.
If we really find the treasures of the Knights Templar here, given the complicated situation like Cyprus, there will be a lot of troubles, maybe we will force out of this country! "
"Okay, Steven, leave the security task to us, there will never be any problems!"
Cole nodded in response, his tone decisive and confident.
Leonardo was even more resolute. This buddy said in a deep voice:
"Don't worry, Steven, as long as you don't return to the ground, then no one will want to enter this castle unless you step over my corpse!"
Ye Tianchong nodded lightly between these two guys, and then continued:
"Jason, you take a few guys out and bring in all the exploration equipment we brought, especially the cutting equipment, there is no less!
The secret room or secret passage below has been closed for more than 700 years. If you want to successfully launch an exploration operation, you may need those cutting tools! "
"Okay, Steven, let's go to the outside courtyard to carry equipment!"
Jason nodded in response, then turned to leave the Gothic building, and took a few company employees to move the equipment.
Next, Ye Tian said to the Bishop of Kent:
"Bishop of Kent, the situation in the secret room or secret tunnel below is still unknown, and I don’t know if it is dangerous~EbookFREE.me~ For safety, you can choose two representatives to follow us. Stay here!"
"No problem, Steven, since you are leading the joint exploration operation, of course you have the final say!"
The Bishop of Kent agreed very happily without any objections.
Subsequently, Ye Tian made some arrangements, and then asked everyone to check their equipment, gas mask, protective clothing, weapons and equipment, etc., to ensure safety.
At the same time, Cole and Leonardo are also acting.
They commanded numerous security personnel and members of the Swiss Guard, quickly established two lines of defense inside and outside the castle, and were ready for battle.
After Jason and the others moved in all the exploration equipment, Ye Tian immediately said to everyone at the scene:
"Gentlemen, let's start to act and bring a huge surprise to the world!"
With that said, he had already stepped out, stepped directly on the steps leading to the basement, and walked down!
