Chapter 1734: Dark shadows in the Vatican garden

After dealing with Giovanni and the others, after they left, Ye Tian immediately opened the car door again, took Betty out, and stood on the edge of St. Peter's Square.

Then, under the leadership and **** of Leonardo and Cardinal Kent, they walked into the empty St. Peter's Square under the darkness of night.

At this point, even if they officially entered the Vatican, the holy place in the hearts of all Catholics in the world, they strolled on St. Peter's Square and admired the majestic and famous historical buildings around them.

In the process of marching, Leonardo naturally assumed the responsibilities of being an interpreter, introducing Ye Tian and the others to the situation in the Vatican.

"Steven, Betty, this is the Vatican, also known as the Vatican City State. It is the country with the smallest land area and the smallest population in the world, only 0.4 square kilometers and a permanent population of less than 1,000 people.

Although the Vatican is small in size, it is a very important country in the world. Its influence is no less than that of any major country. Its economic strength is also very strong and it has a deep foundation.

The reason is that the Vatican is the seat of the Catholic Church, the center of Catholicism in the world, the holy land in the minds of billions of Catholics, and their spiritual home.

Here is the famous St. Peter’s Square, and in front of it is St. Peter’s Basilica, the largest and most important Catholic church in the world. It is the place where Catholics hold the most grand ceremony.

To the north of St. Peter’s Basilica is the world-famous Sistine Chapel, Michelangelo’s masterpieces, "Genesis" and "The Last Judgment" are in that church,..."

While speaking, Leonardo had already led Ye Tian and the others to the center of the square, and came under the huge obelisk that was shipped from Egypt in 40 AD and was more than 25 meters high.

When he arrived here, Ye Tian first looked up and admired the obelisk from ancient Egypt, and sent a few words of emotion.

Then, he suddenly asked an unexpected question.

"Leonardo, I heard that there are many secret passages under the Vatican, extending in all directions. Some secret passages connect to many buildings here, and some connect to the outside world!

Among them is a famous secret road. I heard that it is connected to the Castel Sant’Angelo not far away. I am very interested in these secret roads and want to visit it."

When he said these words, his gaze swept across the ground of the square as if inadvertently, but a hint of surprise flashed through his eyes, fleeting, no one noticed it!

Hearing his words, Leonardo and Cardinal Kent couldn't help being stunned for a moment, not understanding what he meant by these words.

After a short while, Leonardo nodded and said:

"Yes, Steven, there are indeed many secret passages under the Vatican. They were built in different historical periods to prepare for emergencies. The main function is to defend and ensure the safety of the Pope.

I’m very sorry, because these secret roads involve many secrets. Except for a small part, most secret roads are never made public, so I cannot lead you to visit those secret roads."

"If this is the case, then forget it. Although I am very interested in these secret passages, I can't overwhelm others. Let's continue to visit. The Vatican at night will also have a different taste."

Ye Tian said with a smile, didn't mind at all.

Next, Leonardo took them to the St. Peter's Basilica ahead and continued to visit.

When they walked to the door of the church, a side door of the church suddenly opened. The pope wearing a robe and a few entourage walked out of the side door, smiling and looking forward to it!

Obviously, the Pope and his entourage were here to welcome Ye Tian and his party.

Seeing this familiar old man, Ye Tian and Betty quickly greeted them and greeted them enthusiastically.

After greeting each other and greeting each other, Ye Tian and the others followed the Pope, Leonardo and Kent, walked into St. Peter's Basilica and disappeared from the square.

The Roman police and the cultural relics gendarmerie who followed and supervised Ye Tian and the others, seeing this scene from a distance, couldn't help taking a sigh of relief and relaxing a lot, but they were also very envious.

Time flickered, and it was midnight, and the entire Vatican was quiet.

The others are already asleep, only the police and guards on duty are still awake. They are patrolling everywhere or guarding important positions to faithfully guard this pocket country.

Suddenly, in a hidden corner of the Vatican Garden, a black shadow flashed quickly, and the movement was extremely light and silent, like a civet.

In a blink of an eye, this dark shadow disappeared, as if it had never appeared before.

When this dark shadow appeared again, ten minutes later, he appeared on the edge of Castel Sant’Angelo, a few hundred meters away from the Vatican, and soon disappeared again!

About half an hour later, a 19th-century historic building in Rome suddenly caught fire, and the fire was so fierce that it almost reflected half of the sky in Rome!

This sudden fire caused many people in Rome to feel frightened and felt that something bad happened, but they didn't know why this feeling came from.

...

Soon, the next day has arrived.

The night receded, and the Vatican appeared in front of Ye Tian and the others in its most authentic and beautiful posture. It was no longer the gloomy castle and ancient church shrouded in twilight.

Ye Tian and the others did not immediately start negotiations with the Vatican to discuss the joint exploration of the treasures of the Knights Templar, but began to visit the Vatican as tourists.

Although the Vatican is small, it has countless top antique artworks, from ancient Greek and Roman relics to a large number of top art treasures in the Renaissance.

The most famous of these are of course the two most representative giants in Michelangelo's life, the "Genesis" and "The Last Judgment" located in the Sistine Chapel.

In the Vatican Museums, there are also masterpieces by Leonardo da Vinci and Raphael, as well as works by top artists of various periods. The collection is dazzling and fascinating!

The two top artworks that Ye Tian presented to the Vatican before, Raphael's "The Madonna" and Michelangelo's "Mourning for Christ", are displayed in the Vatican Museum for people to appreciate.

Of course, the historical buildings of the Vatican are also worth seeing.

Almost every building here is a miracle in the history of Western architecture, and it is a treasure that cannot be replicated. It is worthy of appreciation and savoring!

After visiting the Vatican~www.wuxiaspot.com~ it is time to visit the Eternal City of Rome.

During the tour, you can also sweep the antique art market in Rome by the way, and go around the city to see if you can find one or two treasures.

Rome has a long history of more than two thousand years, and its historical position is extremely important. It has a gathering of humanities and has been the center of the Western world for thousands of years.

If there is no hidden treasure in such a city, Ye Tian couldn't believe it.

He believes that with his invincible eyes, he will be able to find something in this eternal city, maybe it is a huge surprise, similar to Napoleon's treasure!

After getting up early in the morning and having breakfast, Ye Tian and the others left the room where they were staying and began to tour around the Vatican. Leonardo was still accompanying them on the tour!

As the guests specially invited by the Vatican and future collaborators, they certainly have certain privileges. They can enter many areas that ordinary tourists cannot reach, and feast their eyes!

When the time came to eight o'clock in the morning, Ye Tian and the others left the Vatican Gardens and came to the entrance of St. Peter's Basilica, preparing to be the first wave of tourists to enter the church today.

As soon as he walked here, Ye Tian saw his old friend Giovanni and the Roman SWAT leader who had appeared last night, both of them looked aggressive.

At the same time, the two of them were full of doubts!

Why these two guys came, Ye Tian knew better than anyone.

However, at this time, he could only pretend to be confused, and nodded gently to these two guys casually, which was regarded as a greeting!
