Chapter 1804: Ugly
Under the leadership of high-ranking Israeli officials such as Joshua, Ye Tian and his party went through a symbolic procedure and successfully passed the last checkpoint set up by the Israeli army in the square in front of the Al-Aqsa Mosque.
Immediately afterwards, the guys from the Martyrdom Monastery and the Portuguese Jesuits, as well as representatives of other religious organizations, greeted them.
Not a few steps forward, these guys were stopped by the Israeli military police in charge of security and stopped more than ten meters away.
At the same time, Ye Tian and the others stopped and looked at these guys with different origins and unpredictable intentions with interest.
"Bishop of Kent, Steven, you are here for a while, I will check the situation and I will be back soon"
Leonardo whispered and asked Ying to check the situation.
"Okay, you can go and find out the identity and purpose of those guys"
Bishop Kent nodded and said, Ye Tian also smiled and nodded.
Afterwards, Leonardo led a subordinate to those guys, while the Bishop of Kent and Ye Tian stayed where they were, chatting in a low voice while waiting for the results.
Soon, Leonardo walked up to those guys, and then crossed the cordon to communicate with those guys. The expressions on both sides were relatively peaceful, and the voice of the communication was very low, and no one else could hear it.
A few minutes later, Leonardo figured out the identities of those guys and turned around and walked back.
"The Bishop of Kent and Steven, as we expected, the guys outside the cordon came from the Martyrdom Priory and the Portuguese Jesuits, and other religious organizations.
And they are the core figures of various religious organizations. They came for the treasures of the Knights Templar. They asked to have a direct dialogue with you. What do you think? "
Leonardo introduced the situation in a low voice.
Hearing this, Ye Tian first looked at the guys who were not far away, then smiled and nodded and said:
"That's okay, let's go and take a look, I was thinking about meeting these unsuspecting guys!"
With that, Ye Tian stepped out and walked over to those guys outside the cordon.
Following him, Kent and the others immediately followed.
In a blink of an eye, Ye Tian and the others had come close, and Leonardo immediately began to introduce the origin and identity of those guys.
"Bishop of Kent, Steven, this is Mr. Depardieu from the Priory of the Martyrs, and the one standing next to him is Mr. Chloe, also from the Priory of the Martyrs.
These two gentlemen are from the Portuguese Jesuits, namely Mr. Alexander and Mr. Louis. This Mr. Komitas is from the Armenian Church,..."
Following Leonardo's introduction, Ye Tian and Bishop Kent shook hands with these guys and introduced themselves. They were very decent and impeccable.
Immediately afterwards, Leonardo introduced these guys to Joshua's senior Israeli officials and those in the Israeli religious circles.
Hearing the origins and identities of these guys, the expressions of Joshua and others couldn't help changing, becoming more solemn.
After everyone knew each other and made a few words of courtesy, some people couldn't wait to get to the point.
"Bishop of Kent, Mr. Steven, I think you also know the origin of the Martyrdom Priory. The Martyrdom Priory was developed on the basis of the Templars and is inseparable from the Templar Order.
Naturally, the treasure of the Knights Templar should also belong to our Martyr Monastery, so we strongly request to participate in this joint exploration of the treasure of the Knights Templar and supervise the joint exploration.
As for today’s exploration operation at the Al-Aqsa Mosque, we request to follow you into the Al-Aqsa Mosque, participate in and supervise this joint exploration of the treasures of the Knights Templar"
Depardieu said with a serious face, and his request seemed reasonable.
As soon as this voice fell, before Ye Tian and Bishop Kent could respond, Alexander of the Portuguese Jesuits said:
"As we all know, the Portuguese Order of **** is a spin-off organization of the Knights Templar. In 1312, after Pope Clement V announced the dissolution of the Knights Templar, the Order of Portugal changed its membership to the Order of Jesuits.
When it comes to the relationship with the Knights Templar, the Portuguese Jesuits and the Knights Templar can be said to be in the same line. The relationship cannot be more close, and the treasures of the Knights Templar should belong to us.
Therefore, the Portuguese Jesuits strongly urge to participate in the exploration of the Knights Templar’s treasures, become a third party in the joint exploration operation, and be eligible to participate in the distribution of the Knights Templar’s treasures"
Hearing this, the Bishop of Kent and Ye Tian couldn't help chuckles, somewhat helpless in their smiles.
Legends related to the treasures of the Knights Templar have been circulating for more than 700 years. Why did you go?
In the past seven hundred years, why didn't you see you guys looking for treasures with great fanfare, and one by one, you can't wait to completely separate your relationship with the Knights Templar, lest you get into trouble?
Now that we are jointly exploring the treasures of the Knights Templar and our hopes of finding the treasures are greatly increased, you don't have to worry about getting into trouble, so you can't wait to jump out and start to publicize the relationship with the Knights Templar!
This is too ugly to eat, and the abacus is too precise!
Of course, these are the psychological activities of Ye Tian and Bishop Kent, and it is impossible to appeal to the mouth.
As soon as Alexander finished speaking, the Bishop of Kent smiled and said:
"Mr. Depardieu and Mr. Alexander, although this joint exploration of the treasures of the Knights Templar was initiated by the Holy See of the Vatican, it was the Brave Exploration Company that led this exploration.
So, the various requirements you just put forward, such as participating in joint exploration operations, following us into the Al-Aqsa Mosque, participating in and supervising today's exploration operations, first of all require Steven's approval! "
As he said, the Bishop of Kent raised his hand and gestured towards Ye Tian, with a smile on his face.
This is also an old fox, very cunning, kicking the ball to Ye Tian in a blink of an eye to see how he handles the situation.
Ye Tian did not refuse. He just glanced at the Bishop of Kent, then turned to look at Depardieu and Alexander, then smiled and said:
"Mr. Depardieu, Mr. Alexander, the relationship between the Priory of the Martyrs and the Portuguese Jesuits and the Knights Templar, I know very well, but that is the old calendar more than 700 years ago.
The Knights Templar was originally a monastery organized by nine impoverished monks headed by Hugo de Pain, based on the Al-Aqsa Mosque, to protect the safety of pilgrims and attack infidels.
It was founded in 1119. In 1120, the Kingdom of Jerusalem convened a meeting of religious aristocrats in Nablus, which confirmed the legal existence of the Knights Templar in the Crusader country and determined its basic functions.
In 1127, the French Count of Champagne, who was closely related to the Martyrdom Priory, gave up his wealth and joined the Knights Templar, connecting the Martyrdom Priory and the Knights Templar for the first time.
In 1129 ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ The Holy See convened a religious conference in Troyes, France. At this meeting, the then Pope officially recognized the status of the Knights Templar and granted them many privileges.
This meeting was a milestone. It formulated the constitution for the Knights Templar and confirmed the legal status of the Knights Templar in the entire Christian world and the supreme authority of the Holy See over it.
In 1139, Pope Innocent II officially granted them a privileged position in the form of a pope's edict. From then on, the Knights Templar were only responsible to the pope, not under the command of the king and local bishops.
They can be exempted from paying church tithes, and can even collect tithes in their territories, and enjoy many other privileges. They begin to grow rapidly and become the decisive force in the defense of Jerusalem.
In 1312, Pope Clement V announced the dissolution of the Knights Templar. After that, the Knights Templar, which had existed for nearly two centuries, became a historical term, and the remaining members were forced to go underground! "
Listening to Ye Tian's introduction, everyone at the scene couldn't help but secretly thumbs up and was amazed.
It's no wonder that this guy can achieve success without any detriment. The homework is so good that it is not for nothing!
