Chapter 1863: Arginy Castle

"Sure enough, as in the legend, there are many mysterious symbols left by the Knights Templar, but unfortunately, no one can interpret the meaning of these mysterious symbols now!"
Ye Tian said in a slightly regretful tone, staring at the many mysterious symbols engraved on the front wall.
Beside him, stand David and the Bishop of Kent respectively, as well as Martinez, the curator of the Louvre Museum, the Archbishop of Lyon, and another French man in his sixties.
At this time, a few of them were on the tower of a medieval castle, admiring the series of mysterious symbols left by the Knights Templar on the wall of the tower!
This ancient medieval Gothic castle is located in the Argeny Castle in the Count of Beaugé, Rhône, Rhône, France. The main goal of the joint exploration team in this trip to France.
The tower they were in was the tallest Gothic tower in Arzhny Castle, the Alsimi Tower.
So don’t ask, the 60-year-old French man standing next to Martinez is obviously the contemporary Count of Beaugé, the nephew of Jacques de Molay, the last commander of the Knights Templar, and the descendant of Count Beaugé. .
And coincidentally, this contemporary Earl of Bogé is also named Jacques.
For their family, this may be a special and very great name, so it has been passed down from generation to generation, and each generation has several men named Jacques.
Let's not talk about what is happening in the Argeny Castle, let us go back to yesterday and see what Ye Tian and the others did in Lyon yesterday.
In fact, it is very simple. Yesterday from 10 in the morning until 6 in the afternoon, Ye Tian and David and the others have been soaking in the Lyon Museum of Art, admiring the many top artworks displayed in that famous museum.
Even for lunch, they settled in the fast food restaurant in the museum rest area. They were reluctant to leave the Lyon Museum of Art and eat out. It was a waste of time.
They do this, of course, because of the top art exhibits in the Lyon Museum of Art.
The Museum of Fine Arts of Lyon is one of the largest museums in Europe today. It is also an important museum in France second only to the Louvre. It is affectionately called the "Little Louvre"!
The predecessor of this museum was a monastery with a huge area of ​​15,000 square meters. Its history can be traced back to the eighth century AD and has a long history of more than 1,000 years.
In history, this monastery has a great reputation. It is directly under the leadership of the Pope and does not obey the orders of the French king and the Archbishop of Lyon. All management staff of the monastery come from local aristocratic families in Lyon.
These include the Duke of Faure family, the Boge family, the Duke of Savoy family and so on.
With the passage of time, the religious power represented by this monastery and the imperial power represented by the king have conflicts from time to time, and the counterbalance between the two is constantly evolving with political disputes of all sizes.
In the 16th century, under the strong suppression of the then French King Louis XII, the monastery began to decline and gradually lost its momentum!
In the past three hundred years, in the nineteenth century, with the strong support of the local elite in Lyon, this monastery was transformed into the Museum of Fine Arts of Lyon!
Later, after several expansions of the collection, it finally grew into a museum with a large collection of paintings and sculptures of famous masters, showing European cultural treasures to tourists from all over the world.
In this famous art gallery, there are collections of outstanding sculptures and paintings from all over Europe in various eras. The most essential of these is the European art collection from the 19th century to the 20th century.
There are famous representative works of Impressionism such as Monet's Snow Scenery in Argentai, Renoir's Portrait of a Young Woman, and outstanding works by post-impressionist masters such as Cezanne and Gauguin.
In addition, there are many outstanding paintings by famous art masters such as Picasso, Degas, Pissarro, Francis Bacon, etc., each of which is a top-notch art of great value.
In the many exquisite courtyards of the art gallery, there are various sculptures of famous sculptors Rodin and Boudère from ancient Greece and Rome to modern times for visitors to enjoy!
Such a palace of art naturally made Ye Tian linger and reluctant to leave.
While enjoying the many top artworks displayed in the Lyon Museum of Art, Ye Tian did not let go of this excellent opportunity to absorb spiritual energy and improve his own strength.
By secretly absorbing spiritual energy, he once again improved his strength by a large margin and became stronger.
When he left the Museum of Fine Arts of Lyon at 6 pm, the distance between his eyes to see the light of antique artworks was close to 180 meters, and his perspective ability was also enhanced a lot.
As for his own strength, speed, reaction, and agility, he has gained a lot of improvement.
In fact, his abilities have already surpassed the human limit in the general sense, and there is no need to do any tests!
They came out of the Lyon Museum of Art, and it was dusk.
Next, they went to enjoy a dinner with local characteristics of Lyon, and then strolled on the old streets of Lyon's old city, enjoying the night view of Lyon's old city.
They did not return to the hotel until about half past ten in the evening.
It is worth mentioning that within this day, Ye Tian did not walk into any antique shops and galleries in the city of Lyon, nor did he patronize any antique art market to wipe out those places!
This kind of behavior made those Lyon antique dealers and gallery owners who had been worried all day long breathed out, relaxed a little bit, and at the same time felt very surprised!
Just as Ye Tian and the others were visiting and admiring the top artworks displayed in the Lyon Museum of Art, and they were lingering, the Bishop of Kent and the others were busy.
The Bishop of Kent and the others not only negotiated with the French government and the Lyon municipality, but also negotiated with the Catholic Church and the Langtai municipality of Lyon, trying to pave the way for the next exploration!
Of course, this also includes the owner of the castle of Arzhny, Count Bogé.
I wonder what the bishop of Kent promised those French guys? What conditions did the other party agree to? But the result is very good, the next exploration will proceed smoothly without any hindrance.
For Ye Tian, ​​this is enough, he doesn't care about the rest!
One night passed, and a new day soon arrived.
The joint exploratory team set off early in the morning, left Lyon and rushed to the castle of Argeny, located within the jurisdiction of the city of Lantai, and launched an operation to explore the treasures of the Knights Templar.
Following the joint exploration convoy to leave Lyon, there are also many heavily armed Lyon policemen, as well as a lot of Frenchmen who are called supervisors, but actually have ghosts.
Among these Frenchmen, there are the French Minister of Culture and the close associate of the French President, Martinez of the Louvre, the Archbishop of Lyon, and a deputy mayor and police chief of Lyon.
Without exception, these guys are all full of anticipation and excitement, and hope to discover the treasures of the Knights Templar in Argeny Castle today and shock the world again!
In that way, the city of Lyon is bound to show off, attracting countless attentions, and attracting many tourists from all over the world.
While full of expectation, deep in each of their eyes, there was also a light of greed, which could not be concealed.
Once the treasures of the Knights Templar appear, the real good show will be staged immediately. Ye Tian knows this better than anyone!
As for those who have followed all the way from Rome and have a covetous heart for the treasures of the Knights Templar, such as the Priory of the Martyrs, the Portuguese Jesuits, the Italian Mafia and so on.
In addition to the local gangsters, professional treasure hunters, and beautiful and lively idlers in Lyon, they all drove behind the joint exploration team and rushed to Langtai together!
Of course, those media reporters who have a keen sense of smell and fear that the world will not be chaotic are also indispensable, and the number of them is more than before!
Let's go back to the Alsimi Tower in the Alginj Castle. After Ye Tian finished speaking just now, he turned to look at the people around him, and looked outside through the ancient windows of the tower.
Compared with the medieval castle in Larnaca, Cyprus, although the history of Argeny Castle is as long as it is, the condition of preservation is much better. The castle walls and various historical buildings inside and outside are all intact.
Neatly planned French gardens can be seen everywhere around the castle and in the inner courtyard of the castle, but because it is winter, it looks a little bleak.
Looking up, you can see the snow-capped Alps in the distance, as well as the forests and seas at the foot of the mountains, dotted villages and towns, colorful rural buildings, jade belt-like rivers, etc. The scenery is extremely charming.
The line of sight was retracted from a distance, and when he came to the vicinity of the castle, he could see a large number of vehicles of various origins, parked on a road leading to the castle, extending far away.
The people driving and taking those vehicles have all got off at this time. Some are holding binoculars, some holding a camera with focusing function, and some are looking towards the castle with naked eyes.
Even though it was more than two hundred meters away, Ye Tian could still feel the endless greed in every look from those guys' eyes!
If the Lyon police hadn't prepared ~EbookFREE.me~, a cordon had been set up about 200 meters from the gate of the castle to stop all those guys, they might have already rushed to the gate of the castle.
The line of sight continued to be recovered. At and around the gate of this medieval castle, Cole and Leonardo set up a second line of defense. Many security personnel guarded them one by one, keeping the place firmly guarded.
Inside the castle, Jason led many brave people to explore the company's employees are busy, making the final preparations for the upcoming exploration.
In addition to Jason and the others, there are also several people from the French Ministry of Culture and the Diocese of Lyon, as well as the managers of the Argeny Castle, or gardeners.
These people just stood in the courtyard of the old castle, watching Jason and their work curiously, but did not participate in it. This was also specifically requested by Ye Tian!
In a blink of an eye, Ye Tian had a panoramic view of the inside and outside of Arginy Castle, and he also had a general understanding of the situation here.
At this moment, the voice of the current Count Bogé suddenly came from the side.
