Chapter 3031: The storm is coming

As soon as the joint exploration team left, an Israeli Ministry of Culture official who followed Joshua in the castle complex said in a low voice of excitement:
"Joshua, Steven took people away. Now Noah's Ark Church is guarded by our people. Can we get rid of Steven and start exploring overnight?
They didn't even dismantle the combined winch. We can just use it to lift the slab at the bottom of the pit and enter the hidden cave deep underground to see what is hidden inside.
If there are Solomon’s treasure and the ark hidden in the underground cave, we can get rid of Steven’s greedy guy and enjoy the entire Solomon’s treasure without being looted by him.
If the treasure hidden in that cave is not Solomon’s treasure, then we can return the granite slab to its original position and restore everything to its original state. I believe it will not be exposed."
Joshua turned his head and looked at the subordinate, his eyes looked like an idiot.
Because there was a representative from Ethiopia not far away, he did not get angry, but whispered while biting his posterior molars:
"If what is hidden in that cave is not Solomon's Treasure and the Ark, what shall we do? Do you still want to cooperate with the guy Steven? Do you want to continue exploring Solomon's Treasure and the Ark?
When did that fellow Steven suffer? Who has taken advantage of him? I have never heard of him. With his cunningness, how could he not have any success? I don’t believe it even if I’m killed,
I’m sure that once we open the stone slab at the bottom of the deep pit of the prayer house and enter the cave deep underground, the cooperation between us and the Brave Fearless Exploration Company will be over.

Hearing this, the Israeli official's face immediately changed and became very ugly.
He thought of a lot in an instant, thinking of the unlucky ones who wanted to calculate Ye Tian and the Brave Fearless Exploration Company in the past, but in the end they were calculated or even killed directly.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help shivering, his expression very embarrassing.
After a short pause, Joshua continued:
"If Steven refuses to cooperate with the Israeli government anymore because of our stupid behavior of failing to abide by promises, I am afraid that neither you nor I will be able to bear the consequences!
If we want to find the treasure of Solomon and the ark, we can only rely on ourselves. In the past two thousand years, countless people have not found the treasure of Solomon and the ark. Can we find it?
Steven is a very magical guy. He can always create breathtaking miracles. Let alone other things, how many such miracles have we witnessed along the way?
Perhaps that legend is true. God will always take care of him. In my opinion, if anyone in this world can find Solomon’s treasure and the Ark of the Covenant, that person is Steven!
How do you know that Steven is taking people away now, not testing us and the Ethiopians? One more thing, can we withstand the crazy revenge of that guy? "
"Ah!"
The official of the Israeli Ministry of Culture exclaimed, directly dumbfounded.
After a while, the Israeli official woke up, and then whispered:
"Sorry, Joshua, I was abrupt and stupid!"
While saying this, the Israeli official had instantly dispelled all thoughts that he shouldn't have.
…
Numerous media reporters staying behind the cordon stared eagerly at the gates of the Fasilidas castle complex.
It was getting late, and the night had enveloped Gondar.
However, this is the meaning of the media reporters who did not leave at all.
On the contrary, they were all excited and full of expectations.
Even at this time, the simple and mottled gate of the castle group finally opened.
Immediately afterwards, a large number of heavily armed security team members swarmed out from the castle group, quickly dispersed, and looked around vigilantly.
After confirming the safety of the scene, Ye Tiancai led many of his company employees out of the castle complex and walked straight to the convoy parked on the square at the entrance of the castle complex.
Same as when he entered in the morning, Ye Tian still carried the black portable safe in his hand.
Seeing them coming out, the media reporters who had been stopped behind the cordon immediately started asking questions loudly, vying to get ahead.
"Good evening, Steven, I am a reporter from Ethiopian National Television. What secrets and treasures have you found in the depths of Noah's Ark Church? Can you tell me something?"
"Good evening, Steven, I'm a reporter from The New York Times. It is hidden deep underground in Noah's Ark Church. Is it the legendary Solomon treasure and the Ark of the Covenant? Is this treasure hidden by the Beta Israelis?"
While these media reporters asked questions, the scene that took place at the gate of the Fasilidas Castle Group also appeared on the Internet and appeared on the live screens of several TV stations.
All the people who followed this tripartite joint exploration operation had their eyes on Ye Tian and on the black portable safe, and everyone's eyes were extremely hot.
Ye Tian did not respond to these media reporters' questions, he just waved his hand with a smile on his face.
Immediately afterwards, he turned his head to look at Mustafa next to him, and shook his head helplessly.
The meaning of this action couldn't be more obvious.
Are you Ethiopians keeping secrets like this? It took just a while, and it was already known to the world.
Now everyone in the world knows that in the depths of the Noah's Ark Church in the Fasilidas Castle Group, there may be a hidden treasure!
Looking at Mustafa again, his face was blue and white, and his expression was very ugly.
In the next moment, Mustafa looked at the manager of the scenic spot and the person in charge of the military and police nearby, with extremely cold eyes!
He knew very well that it was his own person who leaked the news, and in all likelihood, it was the staff of the scenic area and the Ethiopian military and police who were responsible for protecting the tripartite joint exploratory team.
While talking, Ye Tian and the others were already in the car.
The joint exploratory convoy set off immediately, and drove out of the Fasilidas castle group abruptly under the of a large number of Ethiopian military and police vehicles.
On the way back to the hotel, the joint exploration team encountered no trouble.
About ten minutes later, the convoy arrived safely at the hotel.
The street where the hotel is located, as well as several adjacent streets, have been completely blocked by the Ethiopian military and police, and no one or vehicle can enter without permission.
On these streets, the Ethiopian military and police have arranged many roadblocks to prevent people from driving into the hotel.
After a while, Ye Tian had already returned to his luxurious suite.
After a brief cleaning, he called Matisse, David and others.
When they sat down on the sofa, everyone immediately got to the point.
"Let's talk about it, Matisse, and it must be very lively now, right? How did the parties react?"
Ye Tian said with a smile.
Mattis nodded immediately, and then began to report on the situation.
"Yes, Steven, after the news of your major discovery at Noah's Ark Church was leaked out by the Ethiopians, it immediately caused a sensation and attracted countless attentions.
Knowing that Noah’s Ark Church was built by Beta Israelis and guarded for hundreds of years, many people wondered whether the legendary treasure of Solomon was hidden in this church!
In addition to the Vatican, many church organizations, such as the Orthodox Church and Armenian sects, have issued public statements one after another, hoping to participate in the next exploration!
The Jewish Church in Jerusalem, the Church of Iraq, as well as some religious organizations in Europe, America, and the Arab region in the Middle East have also issued statements expressing their strong concern.
They also sent representatives to Ethiopia. In addition to these church organizations, the embassies of several major western countries in Ethiopia also sent representatives to Gondar! "
"I'm going! This scene is getting bigger and bigger!"
David exclaimed and was also excited.
"These are all expected things. It doesn't matter if the representatives of all parties come here. They have long legs and no one can stop them! But they want to participate in the next exploration action, and there is no door!"
Ye Tian said with a sneer.
Next, Manis continued to inform the outside world.
"The guys in Cook were arrested by the Ethiopian military and police, but they were released soon. They all have legal identities, and they are cooperating with the Amhara state government. The police did not embarrass them.
Some guys from neighboring countries have arrived in Gondar one after another. A group of pirates and militants from Somalia will also arrive here, and they will arrive at Gondar at noon tomorrow.
In addition, some guys from other countries and regions outside the region who are coveting Solomon’s treasure and the Ark of the Covenant are flooding Ethiopia in various ways, flying or driving."
"It doesn't matter, just let those guys come and see what they can get, I hope they can get out of here alive then"
Ye Tian said disdainfully, not paying attention at all.
Immediately afterwards, he said again:
"Watching the movements of the Israelis, as well as the Ethiopians, I really want to see if they will enter the Noah's Ark Church tonight, open the stone slab at the bottom of the pit, and enter the cave deep underground."
"Don't worry, before leaving the church, we made some decorations. In the pit of Noah's Ark Church and the prayer house, and outside the church, we installed a lot of infrared pinhole cameras to monitor everything inside and outside the church."
With that said, Matisse took an IPAD and handed it over.
Ye Tian took the iPad, turned it on, and immediately saw the infrared monitoring images inside and outside of Noah's Ark Church.
It can be seen that those Israeli agents with live ammunition and members of the 13th Commando are guarding the outside of Noah's Ark Church, staring vigilantly around them.
They have three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry, guarding the whole church as impregnable.
The church is very quiet, there is no one!
There was no sign of anyone entering the deep hole on the floor of the prayer house.
Seeing this scene, Ye Tian couldn't help nodding lightly, and then handed the iPad back to Matisse.
Then we talked for a while, discussing tomorrow's exploration operations and how to deal with people from all sides, and the three of them ended the talks.
The night outside the window was getting deeper and deeper, and there was silence all around.
Under the cover of night, the small city of Gondar is undercurrents.
…
It's midnight.
In the northwest corner of the Fasilidas castle group, the city wall here has already collapsed. Only some iron fences about three meters high separate the castle group from the residential areas outside.
A few dark shadows sprang out from an alley in the residential area outside. With the help of the night and a few big trees, they quickly rushed to the fence and began to climb.
Obviously, these guys want to sneak into the Fasilidas castle group.
As for their goal, it was naturally the cave deep underground in Noah's Ark Church.
In a blink of an eye, two of them had climbed up the fence and were about to jump over.
At this moment, in the woods in the castle complex, a bright searchlight suddenly lit up.
A powerful beam of light projected from the woods, directly shining on these guys.
"Ka Ka Ka"
The sound of a bullet being loaded immediately came, very crisp.
At the same time, there was a stern warning sound.
"Exit, if you dare to jump over the guardrail, you will be at your own risk!"
With a sharp shout, the two guys who were about to climb the fence were stunned.
They rode on the highest point of the fence, very embarrassed.
Fortunately, they reacted quickly enough and immediately raised their hands.
Seeing that the other party did not shoot, they quickly jumped off the fence and landed on the ground outside.
Immediately afterwards, these guys ran away and disappeared into the night in a blink of an eye.
The few Israeli commandos hidden in the woods in the castle complex immediately turned off the searchlights, hid in the darkness again, and continued to guard here!
The same thing is happening around the Fasilidas castle complex on this night.
From midnight until early morning, I don’t know how many times this happened, during which there were several brief exchanges of fire.
Fortunately, the Israelis were well prepared and did not let anyone approach Noah's Ark Church.
…
One night passed quickly, and it was another day.
On the night that just passed, no one attacked the hotel where the tripartite joint exploration team was staying.
This is mainly because everyone's attention was attracted by Noah's Ark Church, and there was a quiet place here.
After getting up, Ye Tian exercised in the room for a while, doing some push-ups and weight-bearing squats.
Then, he went into the bathroom to wash.
Just after he finished washing, Joshua and an Israeli paleographer came to this suite.
Along with him, David and a paleographer from Columbia University were employed by the Brave Fearless Exploration Company.
As soon as he entered the door, Joshua said excitedly:
"Good morning, Steven, I have good news for you. With the joint efforts of many historians and paleographers in Israel, the ancient Hebrew words and patterns carved on that granite slab have finally been deciphered!"
Hearing this news, Ye Tian was also very excited, and said quickly:
"What is recorded in those difficult ancient Hebrew texts? Is it related to Solomon's treasure and the ark? Or something else?"
"In the localized ancient Hebrew texts, there is no mention of the legendary Solomon treasure and the ark, but it is mentioned that it is a holy place for Beta Israelis, and non-Beta Israelis are not allowed to enter!
The content recorded in the ancient Hebrew text is the process by which the ancestors of Israel followed Menelik I, fled from Jerusalem to Ethiopia, and took root and thrived here.
Some of the patterns carved on the stone slabs are from the Old Testament, some from long-lived legends, some are corroborated with those words, and some are independent and need to be verified.
There are many textual descriptions with a certain mythological color and strong religious color. I have only heard of them in some legends in the past. This is the first time I have seen them carved on a stone slab."
Joshua said excitedly, the whole person was almost crazy.
Hearing this, Ye Tian couldn't help but stunned.
After a while, he said:
"If this is the case, the granite slab has obviously been given a very special meaning. To the Israelis, especially to the Beta Israelis, it is a holy thing. Am I right?"
"Yes, Steven, it is indeed a sacred object, and its value is incalculable!"
Joshua nodded and said hurriedly, even his voice trembling slightly.
Before Ye Tian could respond, he said sincerely:
"Steven, I have an unrelenting request. Regardless of whether there are Solomon's treasures and the Ark of the Covenant hidden in the cave deep underground in Noah's Ark Church, we all hope to bring that granite slab back to Israel.
Like the treasures found in Egypt and Sudan before, I hope you can transfer that very special granite slab to us. We can’t let it go away for such a sacred object of extraordinary significance!
For the Beta Israelis, the granite slab may be one of the most important holy relics. It reveals and proves the origin of the Beta Israelis, and it can be said to be the proof of the identity of the black Israelis."
Naturally, Ye Tian would not refuse this request.
Of course, he will not let go of this opportunity, ready to slaughter the Israelis.
This kind of sacred object that is closely related to a nation, and this nation is a paranoid Israeli, he doesn't really want to collect it, it is tantamount to making trouble for himself!
"No problem, Joshua, after consulting with the Ethiopian government, if I can get that special granite slab, I don't mind selling it to you!"
Ye Tian said with a smile and gave an affirmative answer.
And this is undoubtedly what Joshua wants to hear most.
"Thank you, Steven, we will remember your profound friendship!"
Excited, Joshua directly gave Ye Tian a warm hug.
Next, two ancient philologists went into battle one after another, combined with the pictures taken yesterday, and began to explain the meaning of those ancient Hebrew texts and patterns to Ye Tian.
The two paleographers were extremely excited and excited, as if they had discovered a new world.
…
Before you know it, the time has come to nine o'clock in the morning.
Ye Tian led the joint exploratory team to set off again, ready to begin today's exploratory operation.
As soon as they walked out of the hotel door, they found out.
The number of media reporters gathered at the entrance of the hotel was more than twice as many as yesterday.
Obviously, these extra media reporters all rushed to Gondar overnight.
What attracted them was naturally the shocking discovery yesterday!
As several nearby streets are under martial law, there is no crowd at the entrance of the hotel, and no one is protesting and demonstrating here, which appears to be in order.
Seeing Ye Tian and the others came out, the media reporters immediately raised their cameras and camcorders, and quickly pressed the shutter to shoot.
At the same time, they were raising their voices and asking questions loudly.
"Good morning, Mr. Steven, I am a reporter from the Jerusalem Post. Will you enter the cave deep underground in Noah's Ark Church today to explore?"
"Good morning, Steven, I am a reporter from Ethiopian National Television. It is said that you have found some mysterious ancient Hebrew texts. Have those ancient Hebrew texts been translated? What is recorded on them?"
Ye Tian did not give any response to the questions raised by these media reporters, only waved his hand.
Afterwards, they got in the car and left here, and went straight to the Fasilidas castle complex.
When the joint exploration convoy drove away from the block where the hotel was located, Ye Tian and the others quickly discovered that there were many strange onlookers on the street.
These guys are white, black, and Arab, most of them sturdy, scattered on the streets leading to the Fasilidas castle group, staring at the joint exploration convoy.
Without exception, the eyes of these guys are extremely hot, and almost everyone's eyes are full of jealousy and greed.
There is no doubt. These guys are all coming for the treasure.
Many of them are in the dust. It is estimated that they drove here overnight, and when they got off the car, they stood on the street that the joint exploration team must pass!
Looking at this guy outside, Ye Tian couldn't help but sneer.
"I bet, David, if we really find a great treasure in the cave deep underground in Noah's Ark Church! The whole Gondar will be completely boiling.
If we find Solomon’s treasures and the Ark of the Covenant, once the news spreads, the city of Gondar will turn into a battlefield in an instant, and everyone will be crazy about it!
It seems that we have to prepare early, and we must also inform the Israelis and Ethiopians to be prepared for the emergency. I have a hunch that today's Gondar will be very lively! "
David looked at the guys with blood-red eyes on the street outside, and couldn't help nodding.
"Yes, Steven, something big may happen today. If we really discover Solomon's treasure and the Ark of the Covenant, I can't imagine what the city of Gondar will become!"
While talking, the joint exploration team has arrived at the gate of the Fasilidas castle group.
Like yesterday, the gate of the Fasilidas castle complex is under martial law.
Except for media reporters with special permission, everyone else is not allowed to approach.
The convoy stopped on the square at the entrance of the castle group, which directly detonated the atmosphere of the scene.
Those media reporters who had stayed here all night, and were already exhausted, were instantly refreshed.
They raised their cameras and camcorders one after another, and slapped them at the convoy.
After confirming the safety of the scene, Ye Tian and the others got out of the car and walked towards the gate of the castle group.
Mustafa and Joshua, as well as the manager of the scenic spot, who had arrived here in advance, greeted them immediately.
When they came to the front, everyone greeted each other, and then walked into the castle group together.
On the way, Ye Tian said in a low voice:
"Joshua, Mustafa, according to my subordinates, there are many sturdy guys in Gondar, and many people are coming here like a tide. Obviously, the visitors are not good!
A major event may happen today. I suggest you prepare early. If possible, it is best to mobilize the army and a large number of security personnel to come here to control the situation and even control the city! "
Before the words finished, both Joshua and Mustafa were stunned.
Especially Mustafa, a look of horror flashed in his eyes.
After a while, the two of them woke up.
Ye Tian had already walked five or six meters forward, leaving only one back.
They looked at Ye Tian, ​​then unanimously took out their mobile phones and started talking to the outside world.
A few minutes later, everyone has arrived at the door of Noah's Ark Church.
When he walked here, Ye Tian immediately activated the perspective ability to see through this ancient church thoroughly.
There was no problem here, and no one broke into the church. The situation inside was exactly the same as when we left last night!
After confirming this, Ye Tian finished the perspective and withdrew his sight.
At this time, Joshua and Mustafa had also rushed over.
Ye Tian looked at them, then smiled and said:
"Joshua, since it is written on the granite slab, UU Kanshu www.uukanshu.com is located in the cave deep underground of Noah's Ark Church. It is a holy place for Beta Israelis, and non-Beta Israelis are not allowed to enter!
To show respect, I decided not to enter this cave to explore, and my employees are the same, but we will put drones in to explore, and then you send Beta Israelis into the cave! "
Hearing this, Joshua's face immediately flashed with ecstasy.
He nodded hurriedly and said:
"No problem, Steven, in our Israeli exploration team, there are several Beit Israelis who are fully qualified for this job!"
Ye Tian nodded and said with a smile:
"Well, let's start now! Everyone knows the external situation, and I hope that there will be no more leaks today!"
"Understood, Steven"
Joshua and Mustafaqi nodded in response, both acting very solemnly.
