Chapter 1838: King's equipment

Ye Tian took out the soft cloth he used before and gently wiped off the thick moss and dust on the top of the box, exposing the box covered underneath.
This is a copper box, under the erosion of the long years, and in such a humid and cold environment, it has long been rusted and lost its former appearance.
Next, Ye Tian wiped away the moss and dust from the rest of the box.
Presented in front of everyone is a rusty copper box with a sense of history!
The various decorations, inscriptions, and engraved patterns that may exist on the box are completely covered by layers of patina, and nothing can be seen!
If you want to see these contents and understand the value of this box, you can only thoroughly remove the patina attached to it before you can find out!
The place where the metal helmet of the leper King Baldwin IV and the leprosy mask were placed before was relatively less rusty, but it was also covered with a layer of patina.
On the front of this copper box, there is a medieval-style silver lock with a blackened exterior, engraved with a cross and some exquisite patterns. It is the only thing on the box that is not rusted.
Seeing this silver lock, Ye Tian didn't open it immediately, but bowed his head to appreciate it.
The same goes for David and the Bishop of Kent who are standing next to them, both bowing their heads with interest to admire this antique relic from the medieval period.
"Steven, this lock looks good, and it should be considered an antique relic. If possible, it is better not to damage the lock when opening this box."
Bishop Kent whispered, his eyes shining straight.
Although he didn't know the value of this medieval lock, he knew that the crown of Baldwin IV, the Christian holy object, might be stored in this box!
This reason is enough!
If the Christian holy relic is really in this box, then everything inside and outside this box will double in value and will be given a special meaning!
Because of this, he is particularly concerned about this silver lock.
Ye Tian turned to look at the Bishop of Kent, then smiled and nodded and said:
"Of course, Bishop Kent, even if there is no Baldwin IV crown in this box, and this silver lock has nothing to do with the Christian holy relic, I will not easily break this silver lock.
Only by its relationship with the leper King Baldwin IV, as well as its long history and exquisite craftsmanship, this is also a valuable antique cultural relic worth at least half a million US dollars.
But there is a premise here. Its interior, like the surface, is also made of pure silver, and it is not rusty. I can open it smoothly so that there is no need to damage it. Naturally, it is better.
If the inside of it is completely rusted, it would be a pity. I will have to cut this lock. Compared with the things stored in this box, this silver lock is not worth mentioning! "
Hearing this, the Bishop of Kent and David both nodded slightly, without disagreement.
While talking, Ye Tian had already taken his backpack, and took out a small exquisite leather bag from it. It was a set of special unlocking tools, extremely delicate.
When he took out the two sparkling alloy paddles from the tool bag, stuffed the two paddles into the keyhole of the silver lock one by one, and began to gently move them.
The Bishop of Kent's eyes suddenly stared like cowbells, completely dumbfounded!
"It seems that good luck has always been with me. I am very lucky. This silver lock is made of pure silver. There is no rust inside, but it is very jerky. There is no difficulty in opening it!"
Ye Tian said with a smile, a bit of pride in his tone, not without showing off.
Before the words fell, his performance was over.
"Snapped"
With a crisp sound, the delicate silver lock made in the Middle Ages was finally opened again today, more than seven hundred years later.
"Oh my God! How is this possible? It doesn't even take ten seconds. It's too fast, Steven, how did you do it? It's incredible, incredible!"
The Bishop of Kent exclaimed in a low voice, his eyes staring out of his eyes.
In contrast, David's performance was much calmer, as if he had expected this result a long time ago, and it is not worth fussing about.
"Hahaha, Bishop of Kent, don't be surprised. Steven is a magical guy who can always create incredible miracles, which is jaw-dropping.
Opening the silver lock in front of him did not have any difficulty for him. I have seen with my own eyes that he opened an old safe with two metal paddles and a stethoscope! "
David said with a chuckle, introducing Ye Tian's past brilliant record.
Bishop Kent looked at Ye Tian again, and at the silver lock that had been opened. His eyes were still full of incredible, and his eyes were full of jealousy.
"I'll go! This guy Steven is a thief! And it's the top class. Is there anything he doesn't know? Is there anything else that can stop him? It's terrible. !"
While feeling deeply moved, the Bishop of Kent also secretly reminded himself that he must not stand in front of this guy and become the enemy of this guy.
With this guy's cruel means and omnipotent ability, becoming his enemy is definitely a nightmare that can never be awakened, and he doesn't even know how he died!
After opening the silver lock on the box, Ye Tian held the lock body and twisted it a few times, then removed the medieval lock and handed it to David next to him.
However, he did not immediately open the rusty copper box, but asked David and the Bishop of Kent to retreat next to him for safety.
In fact, whether there are any traps or dangers in that box, he was in the mirror of it. This action was just a performance, just to make everything look more reasonable and realistic.
After David and the others retreated, Ye Tian began to act!
He picked up a crowbar from the toolbox next to him, then stood on the side of the stone platform, pressing the top of the rusty box with one hand and holding the crowbar in the other, starting from the padlock on the box, and began to pry the box .
In a blink of an eye, the lid of the copper box was pried up, revealing a gap that was no more than two centimeters wide.
At this moment, Ye Tian suddenly stopped his hand movements, and did not pry open the box directly.
After a short pause, he made sure that there were no traps in the box before he used his force again and opened the copper box directly.
The next moment, the things in this box finally appeared in front of everyone.
After sleeping deep underground for more than seven hundred years, these things in the box once again see the sky, and the whole world will be a sensation next.
Ye Tian returned to the front of the stone platform and glanced at the contents of the box. Then he greeted David and Bishop Kent to come over and looked into the opened box together.
The first thing the three of them saw were two wooden boxes made of African red sandalwood. There were no locks on the boxes, but they were fastened with a gold buckle.
The four corners and edges of the two red sandalwood boxes are wrapped with gold, and the box body is engraved with exquisite patterns. There is a golden cross in the middle of the top and a symbol of the Kingdom of Jerusalem, which are also made of gold.
Under these two boxes, there are two knight swords inserted in the scabbard and a triangular shield, which looks like a silver alloy with a slight blackening and can be easily cleaned off.
Through the gap between the two knight swords and the triangular shield, you can clearly see the things below.
It is a set of chain armor, about 1.34 meters long from head to knee. The wrapping performance looks very good. It can perfectly protect the wearer's head, limbs, and torso.
Like the triangle shield above, this set of chain armor is not rusty. Although it has gone through a long history of more than 700 years, it is still shining with coldness and style.
However, the metal used to create this set of chain armor is not a silver alloy. The specific metal is still unknown.
This set of chain armor is laid flat in the box, and there seems to be a set of armor under it, but only a part of it can be seen. If you want to see the whole picture, you can only see it if you take out the chain armor.
Seeing the situation in the box, Ye Tian and the three of them all showed bright smiles.
"Awesome! As I expected, the contents of this box are the relics of King Baldwin IV of Jerusalem, and it is a full set of combat equipment, each of which is priceless!"
Ye Tian cheered directly and waved his fist in excitement.
This is an expression of his true feelings. It is no longer a performance, at best it has only a little performance.
David and the Bishop of Kent, who were beside them, were equally excited and slammed their fists lightly to celebrate.
After a brief celebration, the Bishop of Kent could not wait to say:
"Steven, what's in those two gold-inlaid red sandalwood boxes? Could it be Baldwin IV's crown? Open it quickly, I can't wait for a second!"
His voice just fell ~EbookFREE.me~ Before Ye Tian could respond, Cole's voice suddenly came from the walkie-talkie.
"Steven, the mayor of Larnaca and the bishop of the Greek Orthodox Church are here, and a lot of people have come. They just passed the cordon set by the Larnaca police and the United Nations peacekeeping force, and they will be at the gate of the castle!"
Upon hearing the announcement, the smile on Ye Tian's face immediately froze, and his expression quickly became cold.
Immediately afterwards, he picked up the walkie-talkie and said coldly:
"Received, Cole, those guys came really fast. Obviously, they were not good. You used various excuses and methods such as security checks to delay for a while, as long as you can.
Our exploration operations are underway, and the most critical time has come. How to treat those guys specifically depends on the results of our explorations, so you are required to delay the time! "
"Understood, Steven, we know what to do, so don't worry!"
Cole responded, his tone decisive.
