Chapter 1822： Gothic castle

The sky finally cleared and the sun was shining.

After obtaining permission from the Larnaca City Government and the Greek Orthodox Church, the joint exploratory team launched an exploratory operation in Larnaca.

The reason why the permission of the Greek Orthodox Church is needed is simple. The target building of this exploration is the property of the Greek Orthodox Church and cannot be avoided at all.

While issuing the exploration permit, the Larnaca City Government and the Greek Orthodox Church also sent several people to follow the consortium's exploration team and act together, in the name of supervision!

But their true intentions are well known to everyone, but they didn't say anything.

This is a medieval castle located on the outskirts of Larnaca. It is a Gothic building. Because it fell into disrepair for a long time and was abandoned for a long time, it looked very dilapidated and desolate.

Around this Gothic castle, as well as the inner courtyard, weeds are everywhere, and the outer walls and gates are covered with ivy, and some small animals can be seen from time to time.

Some places inside and outside the castle have collapsed, and the broken bricks and stones have been piled on the ground, which has been completely covered by vegetation, and turned into large or small green hills.

A thick layer of dust accumulated on the ground, with many footprints and traces left by small animals, and the ancient steps, stone roads, and walls were covered with moss.

Except for the reinstalled gates of later generations, the various wooden doors and shutters in the castle have been loosened due to decay, all metal railings are covered with embroidery, and the windows are ragged and crumbling!

It seems that as long as a breeze comes, these things can be blown off one by one.

Because there is no lighting, even if the sun is shining outside, it can only shine into a very limited place in the castle, and most of the remaining areas are shrouded in shadows.

This originally mysterious, mournful, and sublime Gothic building has become eerie, weird, and creepy after hundreds of years. If there is another group of crows, it will be a perfect ghost scene!

At this time, Ye Tian and the Bishop of Kent were on the only well-preserved tower in the castle, overlooking this Gothic castle, or perhaps this fragmented wall!

Looking at the fragmented wall below, Ye Tian and Bishop Kent standing in the window of the tower were somewhat embarrassed.

"It's a pity that such a tall, majestic, and special Gothic castle has become what it is now, violent!"

Ye Tian said with emotion, his tone full of regret.

"No way, who made this castle in Cyprus? Since ancient times, this place has been a battleground for military strategists. Wars have continued, and ethnic and religious conflicts have occurred frequently.

According to a person from the Greek Orthodox Church, this Gothic castle was destroyed by the conflict between the Greeks and the Turks, and then was abandoned and became what it is now! "

The Bishop of Kent continued, also very regretful.

"It is true. It is too close to Turkey and the Arabian Peninsula, and the island is dominated by Greeks. Two religious beliefs coexist. How can there be no conflict!"

"Don't talk about this. For the island of Cyprus, our joint exploratory team and all of us are passers-by and outsiders. We cannot change these things at all.

Let's talk about the treasures of the Knights Templar, Steven, if the treasures of the Knights Templar are really buried in this medieval castle, where do you think it is most likely to be buried? "

"This Gothic castle was built by the Knights Templar themselves, and they have been stationed here for fifty to sixty years. If they bury the treasure here, there must be plenty of time to implement the plan.

Combining the characteristics of Gothic architecture and the situation on the island of Cyprus, then I guess that the Knights Templar must have buried the treasure in the depths of the ground. No need to ask, that location must be very secretive! "

"I think so too. If the treasure is really buried here, it must be deep underground. It depends on whether we can find it!"

"It's a pity that we don't recognize the unique set of mysterious symbols of the Knights Templar. The clues to the treasure may be hidden in these mysterious symbols, but we can't understand them."

With that said, Ye Tian looked at the two mysterious symbols carved on the wall beside him, full of curiosity.

The Bishop of Kent also looked at the two mysterious symbols, also confused.

Those are two symbols similar to words, carved on the granite wall. They look a bit like French, but they are not French or any other known words. No one understands their meaning.

It is precisely by virtue of this set of self-contained mysterious symbols that the Knights Templar has been guarding their secrets from the day it was established, and outsiders cannot covet them.

Until the Knights Templar was banned and then wiped out, no one could understand this set of mysterious symbols. They still guarded many secrets of the Knights Templar, and perhaps even the treasures of the Knights Templar.

After talking about the treasures of the Knights Templar for a while, the bishop of Kent changed the subject again.

"Steven, did you think those Turks would come here yesterday to prevent us from exploring the treasures of the Knights Templar? The impact of yesterday's incident was not small, and it shocked the entire island of Cyprus!"

Ye Tian shook his head lightly, then smiled and said:

"Probably not. Although the'Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus' is a separatist force in Cyprus, it is not a terrorist organization. Then they must consider international public opinion and proceed with caution.

After yesterday’s live webcast, many people’s eyes are now focused on them to see what they will do next and whether they will publicly obstruct our joint exploration operations!

But we are now in South Cyprus. This is not their sphere of influence. Even if they want to publicly obstruct, they will be unable to reach it unless they reach an agreement with the Cyprus government.

Not only the Cyprus government authorities but also the United Nations are paying close attention to them. That's why the United Nations peacekeeping force and the Cyprus police will work together to **** this exploratory operation!

There are soldiers of the United Nations peacekeeping force guarding the castle, and the Turks should not dare to make a mistake. If they dare to attack the soldiers of the United Nations peacekeeping force, it will definitely cause a sensation in the whole world.

Next, Cyprus will very likely slide to the brink of civil war again. The Turks have worked so hard for so many years, and some of the achievements they finally made may be in vain!

For us, the arrival of the United Nations peacekeeping forces can be said to be an unexpected joy. They can not only deter the greedy Turks, but also other demons and monsters.

According to security personnel, the Martyrdom Monastery and the Portuguese Jesuits, as well as some other churches and religious organizations, as well as the Russian gangsters and other guys, have been blocked from the cordon! "

With that said, Ye Tian raised his finger to the outside of the tower and around the old castle.

Standing at the position of him and the Bishop of Kent, one can clearly see the vehicles of the United Nations peacekeeping force parked on the road around the castle, all armored vehicles, and the United Nations logo on them is very conspicuous.

Beside those armored vehicles, there are many UN peacekeepers with live ammunition, heavily armed and wearing blue helmets. Everyone is on high alert.

Following the direction of Ye Tian's finger, the Bishop of Kent also looked at the vehicles and soldiers of the United Nations peacekeeping force, and nodded gently, the worry in his eyes was immediately wiped out.

After talking a few more words, Jason's voice suddenly came from the headset.

"Steven, we have almost cleaned the ground, and the basement is the same. In some of the basements, we found a lot of mysterious symbols, which is very interesting. You can come down and have a look!"

Jason arrived in Larnaca only last night and brought four or five company employees. As soon as they arrived, they joined the joint exploration team.

As for the acquisition of the several target properties in Rome that he was responsible for, they have been successfully completed. Not only have they signed a real estate transaction contract, but also obtained a new real estate certificate without any defects!

After the real estate transaction was completely settled, Jason did not even return to New York. He couldn't wait to come directly to Cyprus and joined the exploration of the treasures of the Knights Templar.

Hearing Jason's announcement, Ye Tian immediately smiled and said:

"Bishop of Kent, let's go down and take a look. The ground cleaning is basically completed. It's time to start exploring. Maybe there is a huge surprise waiting for us below, maybe it is the treasure of the Knights Templar!"

"If you can really find the treasures of the Knights Templar here, it would be great. Let's go and take a look. To be honest, I can't wait!"

Bishop Kent nodded in response, looking forward to it.

Afterwards, they walked down the spiral steps inside the tower, and both of them had unusually brisk footsteps.
