Treasure Hunt all over the World

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.

Afterwards, led and accompanied by Leonardo and Cardinal Kent, their group walked into the empty St. Peter's Square shrouded in darkness.

So far, they have officially entered the Vatican, the holy place in the eyes of all Catholics in the world, strolling on St. Peter's Square, admiring the solemn and magnificent famous historical buildings around them.

During the march, Leonardo naturally assumed the role of narrator, introducing the situation of the Vatican to Ye Tian and the others.

"Steven, Betty, this is Vatican City, also known as Vatican City State, which is the smallest and least populous country in the world, with 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 big country. Its economic strength is also very strong and it has a deep heritage.

The reason is that the Vatican is the seat of the Holy See, the center of Catholicism in the world, the holy place in the minds of more than one billion 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, and the place where Catholicism holds the most solemn ceremony.

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

While speaking, Leonardo had already led Ye Tian and the others to the center of the square, and arrived at the huge obelisk with a height of more than 25 meters that was transported from Egypt in AD 40.

Walking here, Ye Tian first looked up at this obelisk from ancient Egypt, and expressed a few words of emotion.

Immediately afterwards, he suddenly asked an unexpected question.

"Leonardo, I heard that there are many secret passages underground in the Vatican, extending in all directions, some of which are connected to many buildings here, and some are connected to the outside world!

Among them is a famous secret passage, which is said to be connected to Castel Sant'Angelo not far away. I am very interested in these secret passages and would like to go in and visit them."

When he said these words, his gaze swept across the ground of the square as if inadvertently, but a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, which was fleeting and 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 pause, Leonardo nodded and said:

"That's right, Steven, there are indeed many secret passages underground in the Vatican, all of which were built in different historical periods in case of emergencies. The main function is to defend and ensure the safety of the Pope.

I am very sorry, because these secret passages involve many secrets, except for a small part, most of the secret passages have never been made public, so I cannot lead you to visit those secret passages"

"In this case, let's forget it. Although I am very interested in these secret passages, I can't force others. Let's continue to visit. The Vatican under the night has a special taste"

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

Next, Leonardo led his group to the St. Peter's Basilica in front and continued to visit.

When the group of them walked to the door of the church, a side door of the church suddenly opened, and the Pope in robes walked out of the side door with a few entourages, smiling and looking forward!

Obviously, the pope and his entourage came to welcome Ye Tian and his party.

Seeing this familiar old man, Ye Tian and Betty immediately walked up to him,

Greeted warmly.

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

The Roman policemen and cultural relics gendarmes who followed and supervised Ye Tian and the others could not help but heave a sigh of relief when they saw this scene from afar. They relaxed a lot, but they were also very envious.

Time passed by, and it was midnight in a blink of an eye, and the entire Vatican was completely silent.

Everyone else is asleep, only the police and guards on duty are still awake. They are patrolling everywhere, or guarding some important positions, faithfully guarding this pocket country.

Suddenly, in a hidden corner of the Vatican Gardens, a black shadow flashed quickly, moving extremely lightly and silently, like a civet.

In the blink of an eye, the black shadow disappeared, as if it had never appeared before.

After the black shadow reappeared, more than ten minutes later, he appeared on the edge of Castel Sant'Angelo, a few hundred meters away from the Vatican, and disappeared soon after!

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

This sudden fire made many people in Rome feel terrified and have a feeling that something is wrong, but they don't know why this feeling comes from.

...

Soon, the next day has arrived.

As the night receded, the Vatican appeared in front of Ye Tian and the others in its most authentic and beautiful form, no longer a gloomy castle and ancient church shrouded in twilight.

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

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

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

In the Vatican Museum, there are also masterpieces of Da Vinci and Raphael, as well as works by other top artists of various periods, which are dazzling and fascinating!

The two top works of art presented by Ye Tian to the Vatican before, Raphael's "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, a treasure that cannot be copied, and is worthy of appreciation and savoring!

After visiting the Vatican, it's time to visit Rome, the Eternal City.

While you're at it, take a look at Rome's antique art markets along the way, and wander around the city to see if you can spot a treasure or two.

Rome has a long history of more than 2,000 years, and its historical status is extremely important, with a collection of humanities. It has been the center of the Western world for thousands of years.

In such a city, if it is said that there are no hidden treasures, Ye Tian would never believe it.

He believes that with his omnipotent eyes, he will be able to find something in this eternal city. It may be a huge surprise, like Napoleon's treasure!

After getting up early in the morning and having breakfast, Ye Tian and the others left the guest room and began to visit various parts of the Vatican. Leonardo was still accompanying them!

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

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

As soon as he came here, Ye Tian saw his old friend Giovanni and the Roman special police leader who appeared last night at a glance. Both of them looked menacing.

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

Ye Tian knew better than anyone why these two guys came here.

However, at this moment, he could only pretend to be confused, and nodded lightly to the two guys as if nothing had happened, as a greeting!
