Chapter 3067: Boiling Holy City

The representatives of Israel and the Vatican had a conversation with the senior Orthodox monks who were blocking the road, and then took them to the car where Joshua was riding, and had a few more conversations with Joshua.
Then, the senior Orthodox monks walked to the car where the Bishop of Kent was riding and exchanged again.
I don't know what Joshua and the Bishop of Kent talked to them or what they promised. When the senior Orthodox monks left, their faces looked a little better.
When they left, they turned their heads and took a deep look at the armored bulletproof vehicle Ye Tian was riding in, with a hint of fear in their eyes.
Obviously, Joshua and the Bishop of Kent have told the Orthodox monks.
Ye Tian and Brave Fearless Exploration Company will not participate in any discussion related to religion. They are only responsible for exploring treasures.
After the high-ranking Ethiopian Orthodox monks left, the tripartite joint exploration convoy finally started again and continued to drive forward.
The Orthodox monks and believers who were pouring up from the surrounding area retreated back to both sides of the street without any excessive actions.
After the team started again, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed a little.
"Steven, Joshua, and the Bishop of Kent, what did they say to the Orthodox monks? They actually resolved such a dangerous situation."
David asked curiously, still looking lingering.
"It's nothing more than some promises, these have nothing to do with us, we don't need to care"
Ye Tian said with a smile.
In a short while, the tripartite joint exploration convoy arrived at the booked hotel and stopped in front of the hotel.
At this time, the entrance and surroundings of this hotel were surrounded by groups of Ethiopian Orthodox monks and believers wearing white robes.
Fortunately, they had already prepared for the team. They sent a large number of soldiers to form two human chains holding hands, and they just opened up a passage in the crowd.
When the tripartite joint exploratory convoy passed through this passage, the Orthodox monks and believers on both sides shouted protest slogans and even shouted screams, one by one, they were very angry.
Seeing this scene, everyone in the tripartite joint exploration team raised their hearts and was very nervous.
Fortunately, there was no accident, and the convoy arrived at the door of the hotel smoothly.
Immediately afterwards, Seaman led a large number of heavily armed security team members to get out of the car, quickly dispersed, and became alert.
Confirming the safety of the scene, Ye Tian and David, as well as Bishop Joshua and Kent, just got out of their cars and walked into the hotel.
The other members of the tripartite joint exploration team also got off the car one after another and began to carry various luggage and exploration equipment down from the car, preparing to enter the hotel.
As soon as Ye Tian and the others entered this hotel, they ran into a group of people head-on.
Among them, there are senior officers of the Tieren Front in military uniforms, Tigray State officials in suits and leather shoes, and Orthodox monks in long robes.
The reason why these Ethiopians appeared here was for the tripartite joint exploratory team.
After everyone met, it was naturally an introduction and a polite greeting.
The representatives of the Mention Front who followed the joint exploratory team introduced the identities of these Ethiopians.
Later, he introduced the identities of Ye Tian and Joshua.
When Ye Tian was introduced, these Ethiopians gave him a jealous look.
One of the 60-year-old Orthodox monks said with a serious expression:
"Mr. Steven, we have heard of some of your own deeds and deeds of your company, and we have a certain understanding of you.
It is undeniable that you are the world's top professional treasure hunter, your company is the best treasure hunt company, and you have created countless amazing miracles.
But wherever you went, you also brought huge damage to many places, and even looted the treasures accumulated over the years in some places, leaving only devastation.
Axum is a religious holy city. We can allow you to explore and explore here, but you can't want to destroy it. That is not allowed.
During your exploratory operations in Axum, we will always keep an eye on your every move, the purpose is to protect this religious holy city"
After listening to the translator's retelling, Ye Tian pondered for a moment, then smiled and said:
"Obviously, you have a deep misunderstanding about me and the Brave Fearless Exploration Company. We are not gangsters who do no evil, and we have never thought of looting any place.
On the contrary, all countries and places we have cooperated with have gained huge benefits, whether Honduras or France, whether Egypt or Ethiopia, no exception!
None of the sabotage actions you mentioned were caused by us on our own initiative. We will only launch self-defense actions when we encounter unprovoked attacks. That is our right.
Axum is a religious holy city. I understand this very well. During the exploration operation in Axum, we will try our best to protect this holy city and not destroy the plants and trees here."
Listening to his words, the expressions of these Ethiopians at the scene eased somewhat.
Next, the deputy mayor of Axum in charge of culture and tourism suddenly interjected:
"Steven, your tripartite joint exploratory team came to Axum to explore Solomon's treasure and the Ark of the Covenant, but as we all know, the Ark of the Covenant is enshrined in the Church of St. Mary on Mount Zion.
In that case, where do you plan to find Solomon’s treasure and the ark? Personally, do you think you can find Solomon’s treasure and what you call the Ark of the Covenant in Aksum? "
After listening to the translation, Ye Tian smiled and shook his head.
"I'm very sorry, Mr. Mayor, I can't answer your questions. Here I want to make a public statement that our company will avoid all religious-related questions.
In this exploratory operation, we are only responsible for exploring and not caring about other things. You can discuss these issues with Israel and the Vatican, which is more appropriate."
As he said, he gestured to Joshua and the Bishop of Kent next to him.
Next, these Ethiopians asked some questions.
As before, Ye Tian avoided any response as long as it was related to religion.
After discussing in the hotel lobby for a while, Ye Tian and his party went upstairs.
Looking at the back of them leaving, the expressions of these Ethiopians were very solemn, and everyone's eyes were a little worried.
...
As before, after entering the hotel suite, Ye Tian immediately asked Cole and the others to check every room carefully, leaving no corners to avoid being monitored and monitored.
There were not many employees and security personnel of the Brave Fearless Exploration Company who came to Axum this time, and there were not many rooms in total.
It didn't take long for Cole and the others to complete the inspection.
Compared with before, the monitoring and monitoring equipment found this time are much less, only four or five.
Later, Ye Tian asked Cole and the others to make some arrangements.
They arranged many surveillance probes in the corridor, outside the door of the room where everyone was staying, and outside the windows, and on the roof of the building to monitor all these places.
In addition, they have arranged some anti-monitoring monitoring equipment just in case.
After doing this, Ye Tian called everyone to his room.
When everyone was there, he said:
"Everyone has seen the situation in Axum just now. The atmosphere here is very tense. It can be said that everyone in this city is full of malice towards the tripartite joint exploration team.
In view of this, in the next few days, everyone must not act alone, leave the hotel to go to other places, it is best to stay in the hotel, do not go anywhere, everyone will act collectively.
How long we will stay in Axum is not yet certain. During this period, everyone's safety is the most important. In contrast, the legendary Solomon’s treasure and the Ark of the Covenant are not important! "
"Understand, Steven, we will be cautious"
Everyone responded in unison, and everyone's expression was very solemn.
Next, Ye Tian told some other things, and then everyone dispersed and went back to their rooms to rest.
Afterwards, he packed his luggage and officially moved into this suite.
After packing up his things, he started a video call with Betty to report his safety to his family.
On the phone, Betty repeatedly urged him to pay attention to safety.
The tension between the Ethiopian government and Tigray State was also known to the family through the news, so they were very worried.
What Ye Tian can do is to comfort his family as much as possible so that they don't worry.
He also told his family that there are many trusted armed security guards around him, and they will definitely be able to protect their safety.
Before long, I will return to China and reunite with my family.
After about half an hour of the video, Ye Tiancai reluctantly hung up the phone, and then went to wash up.
As before, for safety reasons, all the water and food that everyone used during their stay in Axum was purchased by the Israelis and sent to the hotel.
Even everyone’s wash water is the same.
Not only that, all the fresh water and food sent by the Israelites had to undergo several strict inspections.
Everyone can use it after confirming that it is safe and non-toxic.
After washing, Joshua and the Bishop of Kent came to visit together shortly after they came out of the bathroom.
After entering the room, everyone chatted a few words, and then entered the topic.
"Steven, it's still early today. In the afternoon, we are going to visit the Church of St. Mary of Mount Zion to have talks with representatives of the Orthodox Church and Tigray State, as well as the Tiren Front and Axum.
If the tripartite joint exploration team is to successfully launch operations in Axum and explore the remaining part of Solomon’s treasure and the Ark of the Covenant, it must get the cooperation of the above aspects, otherwise it will be difficult to make any progress.
I wonder if you would like to participate in this meeting this afternoon? With this opportunity, you can also take a field trip to the Church of St. Mary of Mount Zion, which is one of the destinations to explore! "
Joshua explained his intentions, and the bishop of Kent nodded.
Ye Tian did not respond immediately, but pondered for a moment before saying:
"I can follow you to the Church of St. Mary of Mount Zion. I am very interested in the supreme church in the hearts of Ethiopians and dedicated to the Ark of the Holy Covenant.
If possible, I would like to see the situation there. Maybe I will find out. If the Ark of the Covenant is really enshrined in the Church of St. Mary, this joint exploration operation can end.
Of course, I cannot see the ark, and I cannot judge whether the ark enshrined in the church of Santa Maria is true or not, but I hope to find some other useful clues.
As for the talks this afternoon, many religious issues will definitely be involved. I will not attend, but I will send my staff and assistant lawyers to attend the meeting to ensure our interests."
"Okay, Steven, I'll make arrangements later. In the afternoon, let's set off together to the Church of St. Mary of Mount Zion."
Joshua nodded in response.
Next, they discussed the joint exploration operations that will be launched for a while, and how to deal with the fanatical Orthodox monks and believers outside.
After discussing for about twenty minutes, Joshua and the Bishop of Kent left.
As soon as they left, Ye Tian took out his mobile phone and started talking to the outside world.
With one call after another, the armed security personnel employed by him who sneaked into Axum in advance began to act immediately.
Soon, these guys dressed up as Orthodox monks and believers, wearing white robes, secretly carrying various weapons and ammunition, and rushed to the commanding heights in the city of Axum.
Their key goal is the most important religious shrine in Axum, the Church of St. Mary of Mount Zion.
After arriving at these locations, they quickly hid and waited in secret for Ye Tian's order.
After finishing these arrangements, Ye Tian called Cole into the room again and asked him to cooperate with Seaman to prepare for the afternoon trip and meeting.
When Cole left the suite, he dialed Matisse's satellite phone and began to inquire about the salvage of the WWII shipwreck treasure on Lake Tana.
"Steven, at noon today, there were two idiots who did not live or die, wearing diving suits and holding diving propellers, trying to get close to the salvage site of the sunken treasure, only to feed the Nile crocodile in the lake.
The two idiots had just left the fishing boat they rented, and they were dragged into the lake by the Nile crocodile that sprang out suddenly. They died miserably. No one dared to go down to the lake anymore! "
Matisse reported on the situation over Lake Tana.
Hearing this, Ye Tian couldn't help laughing.
"That's their own death. They can't blame anyone. I hope they can warn the other guys and make them give up their unrealistic fantasy.
Let’s talk about the situation on Lake Tana. As far as I know, the news that this World War II legacy is hidden in Lake Tana has reached many people’s ears."
"Yes, Steven, compared to yesterday, more unidentified ships have arrived in this waters, and there are still many ships on their way here, and those guys have obviously received news of the treasure.
Fortunately, those guys did not rent decent boats. Most of the rented boats were fishing boats of surrounding fishermen. The displacement is limited and there is no professional fishing equipment, which poses no threat to the joint exploration fleet."
"These guys don't have to worry about it. Not only can they not rent a decent boat, they also have no deep diving and salvage experience. They want to this treasure left over from World War II, and they can only wait for the treasure to come ashore!
After you have cleaned up all the treasures in the sunken ship at the bottom of the lake, I will give a safe evacuation route and use the dense fog on the lake to easily get rid of everyone! "
"In addition to many fishing boats, a seaplane also appeared today. It flew over the waters where the salvage operation was in progress, took some pictures of the scene, and then flew to Bahir Dar.
As far as I know, the seaplane is rented by the Golden Eagle Exploration Company of that Cook. Obviously, that Cook has also received news that this World War II treasure is hidden in Lake Tana."
"Cook, this is really lingering. It seems that I'm looking for an opportunity to teach this well, so that he will have a long memory, and stay away from us in the future.
But you have to be careful of this bastard, their company still has a certain strength, and there are many talents under them~EbookFREE.me~ and they are cruel and can do everything."
"Understood, Steven, I have made people stare at Cook and his men. If they dare to fly a seaplane over the fleet, I don't mind greet them with a needle-stick anti-aircraft missile!!"
Matisse replied, a bit cruel in his words.
After chatting for a while, Ye Tian ended the call.
Then he walked to the window, stood at the side of the window, and looked at the situation under the hotel.
The news of the tripartite joint exploratory team's arrival in Axum has spread. There are more and more Orthodox monks and believers gathered around this hotel, and many others are coming here.
Looking down from the upper floor, the entrance of the hotel and the surrounding streets were all white, crowded with Orthodox monks and believers in white robes. The scene was quite amazing.
Not only that, but these people are still protesting and demonstrating, and even yelling.
The resulting huge sound wave was deafening and resounded throughout Aksum!
