Chapter 1879: Secret Armory

Ye Tian turned to look at the Bishop of Kent who was standing next to him, then smiled and said:
"This may not be the treasure of the Knights Templar. The ban and annihilation of the Knights Templar can be regarded as an emergency, so the Knights Templar did not have the power to fight back and members were killed.
Under this circumstance, even if the Knights Templar accumulated a huge amount of wealth, it was impossible to transport them all to the fief of the Earl of Beaugé and hide them, which was France, the territory of Philip IV.
After the death of Philip IV, his successor still maintained high pressure and frantically hunted down the Templars. In that situation, it was difficult for the remaining members of the Templars to transport such a large treasure without showing a trace.
But what are the dazzling gold and silver treasures in these boxes? Medieval antique art? Or something else? I’m very curious and want to open those boxes to see.

Bishop Kent clearly agreed with Ye Tian's analysis, and nodded frequently.
When he finished speaking, the bishop of Kent immediately said:
"Steven, I agree with you that what is hidden here is probably not a treasure of the Knights Templar, although I very much hope to find a few Christian holy relics here."
"Okay, let's not guess here. Just go inside and open the boxes that have been sealed for a long time, and you can know what is in those boxes and how valuable it is!
Give me the hand-held electric cutting machine, I will break this iron fence, and then you can enter it, you back away a little bit, and be a little more careful to avoid any accidents."
With that said, Ye Tian had already put down the heavy police shield and strong light in his hand, and then took over the hand-held electric cutting machine from the bishop of Kent.
Immediately afterwards, he took out a pair of sunglasses from his backpack and replaced the protective goggles he had with him before he walked to the iron fence and prepared to cut.
The next moment, in this underground space that had been silent for hundreds of years, a burst of unusually harsh noises suddenly sounded, and a series of dazzling sparks appeared.
After nearly ten minutes, the noise and sparks disappeared, and the underground space finally returned to quiet, but the air was filled with bursts of pungent smoke.
Ye Tian put the hand-held electric cutter on the floor, took off his sunglasses and put it back on his backpack, put on the goggles again, and then held the iron fence in front of him and gently pushed it forward.
Following his actions, a part of the iron fence suddenly broke and fell backward. There was a gap in the iron fence that was about 1.8 meters high and 1.2 meters wide, or it was door.
"boom"
With a loud noise, the part of the iron fence that had been cut open slammed heavily on the ground, bringing up a piece of dust.
Before the dust fell, Ye Tian had already stepped forward and pushed the cut part of the iron fence aside to avoid getting in the way.
"Let’s go, Bishop of Kent, let’s go inside and see what is in those boxes. It’s still the same as before. You follow in my footsteps. Don’t act without permission."
With that said, Ye Tian had already picked up the heavy police shield again, protected it in front of him, and then walked towards the gap.
Everything went well, and no accidents happened.
In a blink of an eye, Ye Tian and Bishop Kent had successfully passed through the rusty iron fence, entered the space inside, and settled in front of a pile of boxes.
As they entered here, the general situation of this space was also presented before their eyes.
It is no exaggeration to say that this is a palace hidden deep underground, but this underground palace is very simple and without any decoration.
Like the Arzhny Castle on the ground, this underground palace is also a typical Gothic building, and its grandeur is not inferior to the medieval castle on the ground.
This palace has a large area, about 1,000 square meters, about 30 meters wide from north to south, and about 40 meters deep. It is all made of granite and concrete and is extremely strong.
Above the heads of Ye Tian and the bishop of Kent, there are pointed vaults about five meters high. There are four sets of arches. The shapes and widths are basically the same. They are not only solemn and magnificent, but also quite imposing.
Correspondingly, there are three rows of granite stone pillars standing high on the ground. Each stone pillar is about fifty centimeters in diameter, and supports the upper vault together with the walls on both sides.
The existence of these three rows of granite stone pillars naturally divides this underground palace into four parts, just like four arcades, each with an area of ​​several hundred square meters.
In these arcades, boxes of various sizes are piled up, like hills, each hill covered with dust and a thick layer of moss.
And Ye Tian and the others were located in front of a small hill at the entrance of this underground palace.
Although it had been predicted, Ye Tian and Bishop Kent were shocked again when they saw the situation in this underground palace.
Both of them were dumbfounded, and they kept sucking in air-conditioning.
After a long time, the bishop of Kent said with emotion:
"Wow! It's unbelievable. How did the Boge family build this underground palace in the 13th century? This is too much!"
Ye Tian shook his head slightly, then smiled and said:
"With the Boje family alone, I am afraid it will be difficult to complete such a grand underground project, and it will be even more difficult to conceal people. The Boje family should not have such a big hand.
If I'm not wrong, the powerful and powerful Knights Templar is the creator of this underground palace. Perhaps this is a secret base of the Knights Templar, it's just unknown! "
"Yes, Steven, this possibility is very high. Before the break with Philip IV, the Knights Templar did possess this ability, and they were directly under the leadership of the Pope, and they could perfectly avoid the eyes and ears of the French King."
The bishop of Kent nodded and said, the same point of view as Ye Tian.
"Well, regardless of the origin of this underground palace, let's open these boxes first to see what is in these boxes, is it another huge surprise"
Ye Tian said with a smile, and drew a crowbar from his backpack.
In the next moment, he came to a long dusty box placed alone on the floor, and he was ready to pry open the box.
Because of the age, these boxes are decayed and are about to fall apart.
With almost no effort, Ye Tian inserted one end of the crowbar deeply into a gap on the edge of the box, and then gently pried upward.
"Snapped"
With a crisp sound, several wooden boards on the top of the box broke and were all pried up.
The things in the box, after a quiet sleep for hundreds of years, finally saw the light of day again.
Ye Tian pulled back the crowbar gently, and then, together with the Bishop of Kent, looked into the box to see what was stored in it.
It has been nearly an hour since Ye Tian and Bishop Kent entered the secret road until now.
In the wine cellar, Count Jason and Boge were all surrounded by the edge of the big pit, talking, laughing and chatting, while paying attention to the movement in the secret tunnel at the bottom of the pit. Everyone was full of expectations.
Martinez in the corridor outside the wine cellar and a few other French guys looked eagerly inside the wine cellar, waiting for the results of Ye Tian's exploration.
"I don't know what is hidden in that underground space. If it is really a treasure of the Knights Templar, then this exploration operation will definitely cause a huge sensation!"
"Who would have thought that there is such a secret hidden in the depths of the Arzhny Castle, and even Count Bogé doesn't know it. If it weren't for the magical guy Steven, I'm afraid it would never be discovered!"
Everyone is talking, guessing, and looking forward to the results of the exploration.
Suddenly, in the secret passage at the bottom of the pit, there was the sound of puffy puffy footsteps again.
Immediately afterwards, a beam of light projected from the secret tunnel and shone on the ceiling of the wine cellar.
Bishop Kent took the lead out of the secret road, followed by Ye Tian with a heavy police shield.
They had just come out of the secret road and had not yet made their footing, the Count Boge, standing on the edge of the big pit, couldn't wait to ask:
"Steven, Bishop of Kent, what did you find in that dark space deep underground? What is in those boxes? Is it a treasure of the Knights Templar?"
Not only him, but everyone else is also very concerned about the answers to these questions. Everyone looked at Ye Tian and Bishop Kent, and everyone's eyes were extremely hot.
Ye Tian looked up at the anxious Count Boge, then glanced at the others at the edge of the big pit, then smiled and shook his head and said:
"Everyone may be disappointed. What is hidden in the dark space deep underground is not the famous treasure of the Knights Templar, nor any other treasure, but a large number of medieval weapons.
Those long boxes were full of knight swords, armors, delta shields, javelins, spear heads of spears, and countless arrows ~EbookFREE.me~ and those weapons from the Middle Ages are all rusty.
On the medieval weapons and equipment, and on the boxes, we found the Knights Templar logo, horses and other crosses. Obviously, they were all weapons belonging to the Knights Templar.
The history of this underground weapons arsenal can be traced back to the middle of the 13th century, when the Argeny Castle was built. It can be inferred from this that it should be the work of the Knights Templar!
Why did the Knights Templar set up a secret weapons arsenal near Lyon and stocked a lot of weapons and equipment? I guessed boldly, maybe they wanted to do something in France, but they didn't have time to implement it! "
"Ah! It's actually an armory, not a treasure of the Knights Templar"
"The Knights Templar want to do things in France? Do they also want to establish their own state of the Knights? If this is the case, then it would be much more reasonable for King Philip IV of France to destroy the Knights Templar."
There was a lot of discussion at the scene, and everyone was somewhat disappointed with the answer given by Ye Tian.
