Treasure Hunt all over the World

At 9 o'clock in the morning, the tripartite joint exploration team set off on time and went to the Fasilidas Castle Group to explore again.

What is different from yesterday is that the number of pedestrians and vehicles on the streets of Gondar has dropped sharply, and the crowd of onlookers on both sides of the street has decreased a lot, and there are no young people running with the convoy anymore.

Those few onlookers, apart from anger and hatred, had greed and fear in their eyes.

The Ethiopian military and police guarding the tripartite joint exploration team, as well as the military and police guarding the streets along the way, are more than twice as many as yesterday!

Even the entire Gondar is on three-step one post, five-step one sentry, and is on high alert.

There are also many more media reporters who came to Gondar to interview than yesterday.

For these media reporters who are afraid of chaos in the world, there is no danger to worry about!

During the march of the convoy, no accidents occurred!

The masked gunmen who attacked the hotel where the tripartite joint exploration team was staying last night disappeared overnight, as if they had never appeared before.

The Ethiopian military and police also knew who those guys were, and they had a certain tacit understanding with each other. They didn't search the city of Gondar as if nothing happened.

However, the numerous bullet marks in front of the hotel and on the street, as well as the heavily armed Ethiopian military police all over the street, are enough to tell people what happened last night!

After a while, the joint exploration convoy has successfully arrived at the Fasilidas castle complex.

For safety reasons, the Fasilidas Castle complex and the surrounding area have been put under martial law, and no one is allowed to enter except media reporters with special permission.

When the joint exploration convoy arrived, the place was empty and no longer as lively as yesterday.

After the convoy stopped, a large number of security members of the tripartite joint exploration team got out of the car first, and searched thoroughly inside and outside the castle complex, including several commanding heights nearby.

After confirming that the site was safe, Ye Tian and the others got out of the car and prepared to enter the Fasilidas castle complex to start today's exploration.

At this moment, Ye Tian was fully armed.

He was wearing a Kevlar body armor and carried a short assault rifle in his right hand,

There is a pistol in the holster on the outside of the thigh and in the holster on the chest of the body armor.

Behind him was a black backpack with a portable safe in his left hand.

Everyone is very familiar with that portable safe, which is the one containing the sheepskin scroll.

Seeing them getting out of the car and being stopped by the Ethiopian police outside the cordon, the media reporters immediately began to ask questions at the top of their voices, all of them impatiently.

"Good morning, Mr. Steven, I'm a reporter from Ethiopian National Television. May I ask, is that extremely precious treasure map stored in the portable safe in your hand?"

"Good morning, Mr. Steven. I'm a reporter from the Jerusalem Post. Is the treasure pointed to by this treasure map the wealth that the Italians plundered from all over East Africa? Does it include the treasure of the Solomon Dynasty?"

"Good morning, Mr. Steven, I am a reporter from Eritrea National Television. I would like to ask, how do you plan to distribute this treasure? How do you respond to Eritrea's public claims?"

Ye Tian did not respond to the questions from these media reporters.

He just waved his hand at these guys as a gesture.

Afterwards, he led the joint exploration team into the Fasilidas Castle Group and started today's exploration operation!

During the march, except for the members of the tripartite joint exploration team, everyone else was staring at the black portable safe.

Without exception, everyone's eyes are full of curiosity, jealousy and greed.

Everyone knows that the priceless sheepskin scroll is stored in that black portable safe.

Anyone who gets that precious treasure map will completely change their life and step on the pinnacle of life from then on!

At this moment, they wanted to rush forward, snatch the black portable safe, and take the priceless sheepskin scroll inside as their own!

However, those sturdy and heavily armed security guards, as well as the G36C short assault rifle in Ye Tian's hand, were enough to dispel all unrealistic fantasies.

While speaking, Ye Tian led the tripartite joint exploration team into the gates of the ancient castles, and completely disappeared from the sight of those media reporters.

Even so, those media reporters didn't have the slightest intention of leaving, they were still waiting here!

Each of them knows very well that as long as they keep an eye on this guy, Steven, there will be headlines!

Since this guy, Steven, has returned to explore the Fasilidas castle complex, there might be a miracle happening.

In this ancient castle group, there may be other important secrets and even shocking treasures hidden!

On a street a few hundred meters away, two SUVs were parked by the side of the road.

Sitting in these two cars were that fellow Cook and several of his bodyguards.

At this time, Cook was listening to an assistant report.

"Boss, that bastard Steven led the team to the Fasilidas Castles again. Seeing their posture, they are planning to continue exploring in the Fasilidas Castles!

From this point of view, there may be other secrets hidden in the Fasilidas castle group, or even another shocking treasure, which may be discovered by that bastard Steven again! "

"boom!"

Cook thumped the seat severely, and said regretfully:

"Damn it, when we passed by Gondar a few days ago, why didn't we think about exploring the Fasilidas castle complex, and we just went there for a visit and left.

If we had explored in that ancient castle complex, we might have discovered the treasure long ago, so what about that bastard Steven? It's so careless, I regret it! "

Hearing this, the assistant and several bodyguards curled their lips in disdain and complained secretly.

"It's easy to say, do you have Steven's sharp vision? Do you have his extreme luck? God doesn't care about you at all, okay?

The treasures that Ethiopians have not discovered for decades or even hundreds of years, it is useless for you to go there! Only that bastard Steven can continue to create miracles! "

Of course, this is just what everyone thinks, and it is impossible to resort to it!

If you say it, this guy Cook will probably go berserk on the spot!

"Keep an eye on that bastard Steven, and the three-party joint exploration team, and see what else they can find in the Fasilidas castle complex? I don't believe that God will always favor that bastard!"

Cook gritted his molars and said, his eyes were red with jealousy. one year old

"Okay, boss, the media reporter who delivered the news to us is staying at the entrance of the ancient castles, and he will know immediately whether the tripartite joint exploration team has discovered anything!"

The assistant nodded.

Cook who was staying in the car, how did they know that it was in their car

SUV

A miniature beetle drone is parked on top of it.

Every word they said reached Matisse's ears immediately.

Immediately afterwards, Ye Tian will receive the news and grasp their every move.

...

The actions of the tripartite joint exploration team in the Fasilidas castle complex began soon.

But in the outside world, the wind and clouds are surging at this time, and all forces have launched operations.

The exploration team temporarily organized by the Ethiopian Ministry of Culture and the National Museum, who knows, departed from Addis Ababa early in the morning, took several small propeller planes, and flew straight to Gondar.

At the same time, the US ambassador to Ethiopia, the cultural counselor, and two groups of security personnel also took two small planes and flew to Gondar!

Diplomats from Sudan, Eritrea, Kenya, Somalia, and Djibouti, as well as officials from the Ministry of Culture, are also coming here.

In addition to the official forces, other local forces, gangsters, terrorists and pirates also came straight to Gondar aggressively!

Without exception, these guys were all driven crazy by the news of the birth of this shocking treasure in Gondar, their eyes were bloodshot, and everyone's eyes were full of greed!

Especially those Somali pirates who directly gave up their maritime business in the Gulf of Aden and rushed to Gondar, Ethiopia one after another, preparing to loot this astonishing treasure!

You know, this is likely to be the largest and most amazing treasure ever discovered in East Africa, can you not be crazy about it?

Inside the Fasilidas Castle complex.

As in the past, many employees of the brave and fearless exploration company have completed the grouping, and each exploration team holds a pulse metal detector and starts to scan the ground of the public area in the castle group.

Ye Tian led a group of exploration team members, holding a pulse metal detector, and walked into the ruins next to Fasil Gaby Castle.

This was originally an ancillary building of Fasil Gabe Castle. During World War II, it was directly bombed by Allied aerial bombs and turned into a ruined building.

Fortunately, this is a tourist attraction, and the weeds in the ruins have been cleaned up, which will not affect the exploration.

After walking into the ruins, Ye Tian quickly scanned the situation here, and then said to his exploration team:

"Start to work, pay attention to safety, if you find anything, remember to notify me as soon as possible, I hope we can get a surprise!"

"Okay, Steven"

The two company employees nodded in response, and then began to scan the ground with a pulse metal detector.

Ye Tian was not idle either. He took an archaeologist from Columbia University and an expert on ancient texts to a wall standing in the ruins, ready to check the condition of the wall.

They had just walked to the wall, and before they had time to check the situation, there was a burst of pulse metal detector beeping behind them.

The exploration team that had just started working also reported the situation immediately.

"Come and take a look, Steven, we detected a metal object buried at a depth of about two meters!"

"It's so fast, it's too easy!"

Ye Tian said in surprise, then turned and walked towards the exploration team.

The two experts and scholars who followed were also very surprised and followed immediately.

Mustafa, who was always following Ye Tian and the others, was even more excited, his eyes were shining brightly.

Could it be possible to find another treasure? What a treasure here!

Within three or two steps, Ye Tian and the others had come close.

"Steven, it's here. I just put the coil close to the ground, and the pulse metal detector beeped."

The man holding the probe said, and pressed the probe to the ground again.

Following his actions, the pulse metal detector rang immediately, and the sound was very pleasant.

Ye Tian looked at the data and signals detected on the monitor, as well as the outline of the metal object buried deep underground, and then fell into deep thought.

Immediately afterwards, he squatted down again, removed a few stones on the ground, and checked the situation on the ground.

Then, he shook his head lightly.

"Unfortunately, this is not a treasure, nor is it of much value. Judging from its outline, it is likely to be a bomb fragment left over from World War II, and it is the tail fragment of an aerial bomb.

This thing looks like a relatively complete bomb tail. During World War II, the Allied forces dropped a lot of bombs in the Fasilidas Castle Group, which caused huge damage here! "

As he spoke, he pointed to the detected metal object and outlined its outline with his fingers.

Through his guidance, everyone also saw a clue.

This result undoubtedly disappointed everyone.

Mustafa, who came up to check the situation, said angrily:

"During the decisive battle of Gondar, the Italian invaders were at the end of their rope. There was no need for the Allied forces to bombard the castle complex of Fasilidas. That would not only be a waste of bombs, but also a crime!

If the Fasilidas castle complex had not been bombed indiscriminately and had been preserved intact until now, it would definitely be ten times more spectacular than what everyone sees now, instead of such a ruined building! "

Hearing this, Ye Tian just smiled and didn't reply.

Then he left here to check the situation on the wall not far away.

On that wall, they found some words and patterns carved in stone.

Those characters and patterns were basically created when the castle was built, mainly in Amharic, and mainly introduced the deeds of Emperor Fasilidas.

In addition, there are some Italian words on the wall, but it seems to be graffiti, which has no special meaning.

Apart from these, there are no surprising discoveries in this piece of ruins.

It didn't take long for Ye Tian and the others to explore the ruins.

Afterwards, the few of them left here and walked to another ancient castle not far away.

It is said to be an ancient castle, but in fact there is only one frame left of this ancient castle.

The reason for this situation is precisely because of the massive bombing by the Allied forces during World War II.

The roof of the castle, as well as nearly two-thirds of the building, have been blown down.

Ye Tian and the others walked through a barrack-style oval arch, and when they entered this mottled and vicissitudes old castle, they could see the blue sky when they looked up.

There are only a few towering walls left in this ancient castle, which still stand on the ground, as if telling people about its tragic experience.

The manager of the scenic spot who followed introduced the situation here to Ye Tian and the others.

"The ancient castle you see now was once the second most magnificent castle in the Fasilidas Castle Group, and it was built by the grandson of Emperor Fasilidas, who was also an accomplished emperor.

It's a pity that during World War II, because this was the headquarters of the Italian invading army, this castle was bombed by the Allied forces, and it turned into what it is now..."

While the manager of the scenic spot was introducing the situation of the castle, Ye Tian and the others had started to explore.

After some exploration, they found nothing, only scanned some metal fragments, buried at different depths underground.

As before, these pieces of metal are also bomb fragments and have no value.

After exploring here, they went to the lion taming house not far away.

It used to be the place where the Ethiopian royal family domesticated lions. It survived the bombing during World War II and was relatively well preserved!

This so-called lion taming house is actually a rectangular taming farm.

It is surrounded by a city wall about six meters high, and in the middle is an animal training ground about fifty meters long and ten meters wide, or it can be called a deep pit.

At the base of the city wall on the east and west sides of this lion taming house, there are twenty or thirty rooms distributed, and those rooms are used to keep lions in captivity.

The rectangular taming ground outside is used to tame lions.

Of course, it was also where prisoners of war and slaves fought lions for the amusement of the Ethiopian royal family.

After entering this ancient lion taming room, Ye Tian quickly found marks left by countless sharp claws on the wall, which were obviously done by the lions that were once kept here in captivity.

These scratches that wished to tear the city wall apart seemed to be full of tyranny and anger!

In addition to the large number of scratches left by the lions, there are many marks of chiseling with axes and holes on the walls, as well as holes poked with spear points.

Needless to say, these marks were left by many prisoners of war and slaves fighting with lions.

Looking at these traces, Ye Tian couldn't help but have the illusion of walking into the ancient Roman Colosseum.

He seemed to have seen scenes of humans and lions wrestling and fighting frantically. It was bloody and tragic, but it also made the blood swell!

It is a pity that they found nothing in this ancient lion taming house.

Afterwards, they left here and went to another ruin to explore.

At the same time, company employees exploring other areas of the castle group discovered some metal objects buried deep underground.

These metal objects are buried at different depths, soil conditions are also different, and have different shapes, and most of them exist in isolation, and at most two or three pieces are piled up together.

After research and analysis by Ye Tian and several archaeologists, it was soon confirmed.

They are just some broken tools, ancient weapons, bomb fragments, farm tools and funeral objects, etc. They are not of much value and are not worth digging at all!

Except for the grassland and woods in the public area, everyone did not let go of the other five ancient castles here, as well as the ruins, and explored them one by one.

In those complete or dilapidated castles, Ye Tian found several very secret spaces.

These include secret compartments hidden in the walls, secret passages under the bed in the bedroom, secret rooms that only allow one person to hide and are used to avoid attacks, exquisitely designed organs, and so on.

But these places are empty, nothing.

Things that were originally hidden in these places were either taken away by the Ethiopian royal family who used to live here, or were later discovered and taken away by the Italians.

The tripartite joint exploration team that came here at the latest didn't catch anything!

This result makes everyone a little disappointed!

In a blink of an eye, it was noon.

To save time, but also for safety reasons.

Ye Tian did not lead the team back to the hotel, but chose to rest at the Fasilidas castle complex, have some lunch, and then continue to explore.

Just as everyone stopped their work, sat on an open grass to rest and have lunch, a group of visitors rushed here.

There are two groups of these visitors, representing different forces.

One of the visitors was the U.S. ambassador and cultural counselor to Ethiopia, as well as several heavily armed marines.

Another group of visitors is an exploration team composed of the Ethiopian Ministry of Culture and the National Museum!

They all flew from Addis Ababa, rushed to Gondar, and then to the Fasilidas castle complex!

Hearing that they brought, Ye Tian immediately said to Mustafa next to him:

"Come on, Mustafa, let's meet these friends"

After speaking, he took David and Matisse and walked towards the entrance of the castle group.

Mustafa nodded and followed with a few Ethiopians.
