Treasure Hunt all over the World

After a while, Ye Tian and the others returned to the upstairs suite.

Joshua and the others also followed, each one full of expectations.

Immediately afterwards, the portable safe containing those top-level antiques was also transported into this luxurious suite.

Ye Tian took off the equipment on his body, changed out the dusty clothes, washed up briefly, and then walked into the living room.

At this moment, Joshua and the others who were staying in the living room couldn't wait.

Seeing him coming, everyone immediately stood up.

"Steven, hurry up and open these portable safes, let's take a good look at those priceless top-level antique relics, their discoveries are so shocking!"

"That's right, the discovery of these top-level antique relics can fully prove that part of the legendary Solomon's treasure is hidden near Axum."

Joshua and the others chattered, and everyone was very excited.

The deputy mayor of Axum and the other two Tigray people who were also present at the scene had serious expressions and worried eyes.

Ye Tian didn't open these portable safes immediately, but glanced at everyone present, and then said with a smile:

"Gentlemen, the several top-notch antique relics in these portable safes are each priceless, but they have a long history and are very fragile. It is best not to touch them casually.

More importantly, these top-level antique relics have been stored in the night snake's snake cave, and they must have been contaminated with a lot of snake venom and other dangerous things, such as deadly germs and so on.

For the sake of safety, no one can touch these top-level antique cultural relics in the safe without permission, and even if you want to conduct an appraisal, you must wear protective equipment."

Hearing this, everyone at the scene was stunned.

The next moment, everyone thought of those frightening green night snakes and various legends about those poisonous snakes biting people to death.

Thinking of this, everyone couldn't help but shuddered and terrified.

The few guys closest to those portable safes even took half a step back, and a look of fear flashed in their eyes at the same time.

"Really, Steven, if you don't remind us, we really forgot about it,

That would be too dangerous! "

Joshua said in fear.

"Everyone can rest assured that there is no snake venom on the surface of these portable safes. After putting those top-level antique cultural relics into these portable safes, we thoroughly disinfected the surface of the safes on the spot."

Ye Tian said with a smile.

Hearing this, the few guys who had been in contact with these portable safes just now secretly let out a sigh of relief, and somewhat relaxed.

Next, Ye Tian took out a pair of gloves and put on a mask, ready to open these portable safes.

Seeing how cautious he was, the rest of the people also took the protective masks handed over by Derek and the others, and put them on.

After everything was ready, Ye Tian stepped forward and began to enter the password to open these portable safes.

The first thing he opened was the safe containing the seven-branch gilded copper candlestick.

As the top cover of the safe was opened, a bright golden light flashed in the room immediately, which was extremely dazzling.

Immediately afterwards, there was a burst of exclamation at the scene.

"Wow! Could this be the seven-branch gold candlestick enshrined in Solomon's Temple? It's so exquisite!"

"It's hard to imagine that this seven-branch gold candlestick has a history of nearly three thousand years, and it's still so intact. It's a miracle!"

Compared with the others, the Israelis headed by Joshua were particularly excited, and everyone's eyes were full of fanaticism.

In their eyes, this is a religious sacred object with inestimable value.

One of the Israeli archaeologists even stepped forward excitedly, trying to identify these top antique relics up close.

However, he was stopped by Cole who was standing by the side.

Ye Tian looked at this person, then shook his head with a smile and said:

"Gentlemen, I want to correct one point. This is not the seven-branch gold candlestick that was enshrined in Solomon's Temple in legend, but the imitation of that gold candlestick, or a spare candlestick.

It is not entirely made of gold, but a gilt copper candlestick, but the gilt layer on the outside is very thick, so it is preserved so completely and has not suffered serious corrosion.

But one thing is certain, this gold-plated copper candlestick was made in the same period as the legendary seven-branch gold candlestick, with exactly the same shape, and both came from the Temple of Solomon.

As for the legendary seven-branched golden candlestick, we found it when we were exploring the treasures of the Knights Templar in Portugal, and that golden candlestick was hidden in the same place as the Holy Grail."

After listening to his introduction, everyone nodded.

At the same time, everyone looked at Ye Tian with envy, even jealousy.

This guy is so lucky that he can always create miracles one after another, making people jaw-dropping!

There are only two such priceless gold candlesticks in the history of Israel, but he found them all, which is incredible!

As soon as the words fell, Joshua continued to say:

"Whether it's a seven-branch gilt copper candlestick or a gold candlestick, just because it comes from Solomon's temple, it's a holy object, and its value is immeasurable!"

Ye Tian nodded slightly, and then opened the second portable safe.

Inside this safe is the bronze statue of the prophet Job.

Although this bronze statue is rusty, mottled, and even a little tattered, the shock it brought to the crowd was very strong!

The moment they saw this bronze statue, Joshua and the others were all shocked, with solemn expressions, but excited eyes.

Several religious figures headed by the Bishop of Kent drew the cross on their chests and prayed a few words in a low voice.

Isaiah, representing Judaism, knelt on the ground and prayed devoutly.

After a while, everyone just recovered.

Immediately afterwards, there was another surprise, one after another.

"Without a doubt, this is definitely the oldest bronze statue of Job found so far. Although it is rusty, it is definitely a holy object!"

"The discovery of this bronze statue of Job is of great significance. It supports the stories about Job in the Old Testament!"

Just as everyone was discussing, Ye Tian opened the third portable safe.

Contained in this portable safe is a gilt copper plate with the star of David engraved on it, which is very conspicuous!

With the appearance of this gilt copper plate, a golden light flashed on the scene.

A few minutes later, these top-notch antique cultural relics from the Night Demon Snake Cave were presented to everyone.

Everyone came forward one after another and began to admire these priceless treasures.

For the sake of safety, no one is allowed to get close to these portable safes, and can only stand one meter away and poke their heads to admire them.

After everyone finished appreciating it, several archaeologists and historians of the tripartite joint exploration team, as well as experts in the identification of antique artworks, began to identify top-level antique relics.

Ye Tian, ​​Joshua and the others were sitting on the sofa, chatting while waiting for the identification results to be released.

"Steven, I still want to ask, what do you plan to do with these top-level antique cultural relics? Is it possible to keep them in Axum? After all, they have been here for more than one or two thousand years!"

asked the deputy mayor of Axum.

Following his words, the other two Tigray people looked over immediately.

Obviously, this is their biggest concern.

Ye Tian did not respond immediately, but looked at Joshua and the Bishop of Kent.

After a short pause, he smiled and said:

"I don't want to hide from you, and I don't want to lie. Gentlemen, the possibility of these top-level antique cultural relics staying in Axum is very slim. The reason is very simple. You will definitely not accept my offer.

Everyone knows that I don't collect antiques and artworks with a strong religious color, and these few antiques are naturally included, so I will sell them all in exchange for real benefits.

Such top-level antique relics, the prices I charge for them are naturally top-notch, and with the economic strength of Axum and Tigray, I don’t think you can afford these top-level antique relics.”

Although he really didn't want to admit it, the deputy mayor of Axum and others knew that what he said was true.

With the strength of Tigray State and Axum, and the notorious cruelty and greed of Steven, it is impossible to eat these top-level antiques.

Thinking of this, the deputy mayor of Axum and others fell silent.

At the same time, they are also full of unwillingness!

These are all priceless top-level antiques. Who would be willing to be ransacked like this?

Ye Tian looked at these guys and gave them another sweet date.

"In my opinion, instead of thinking about these antique cultural relics, you should think about how to use the tax you will get. After I trade them out, the tax I should pay will not be less.

Another point is that these are all ancient Jewish religious items, not Ethiopian Orthodox religious items. Even if you have the ability to buy these antique cultural relics, where do you put them? "

Hearing this, several Tigray people looked a little better.

Yes, although Axum cannot keep these top-level antiques, it is not for nothing.

At least it can be considered a comfort to get a generous tax payment, as well as the aid and compensation promised by the Israelis!

After chatting for a while, those archaeologists and historians, as well as experts in the identification of antique cultural relics, finally completed the preliminary identification.

As a result, it goes without saying that all of these top-level antique relics come from Solomon’s Temple and are part of the legendary Solomon’s treasure, and each piece is very valuable.

In particular, the bronze statue of the Prophet Job and the gold-plated copper candlestick with seven branches are both considered religious holy objects of Judaism and are invaluable.

The release of the identification results once again caused a burst of exclamation in the suite.

...

In a blink of an eye, it was around nine o'clock in the evening.

Except for Joshua, Bishop of Kent, and David, everyone else has left the luxurious suite where Ye Tian lived.

Ye Tian locked up the portable safe containing the few top-level antiques.

The safes were then moved to another room on the same floor, where they were closely guarded by a group of armed security personnel, and no one was allowed to touch them.

After everyone else left, Joshua immediately got to the point.

"Steven, let's talk about trading these top-level antique relics. Since you don't collect these religious antique relics, you might as well sell them to us as soon as possible.

In this way, you don't have to take risks, and you don't have to send people to protect them all the time and transport them to New York or Beijing. The corresponding risks can be borne by us.

To Israel, and to all Jews, these top-notch antiquities hold special significance, and we would love to recover them and re-enshrine them in Jerusalem! "

Before the words fell, the Bishop of Kent next to him said:

"Steven, Joshua, if possible, the Vatican would like to come forward to acquire the bronze statue of the prophet Job. Everyone knows that Job is not only a Jewish prophet, but also a Christian prophet!

And the significance of the bronze statue of Job is very special. It is the oldest bronze statue of Job found so far. We want to accept this statue and enshrine it in St. Peter's Basilica! "

Before Ye Tian could respond, Joshua was already in a hurry.

"Impossible, Bishop of Kent, this statue of the prophet Job can only go back to Israel, and must also go back to Israel, and be enshrined in Jerusalem!"

Seeing that these two were about to quarrel, Ye Tian said quickly:

"Gentlemen, I do intend to sell these top-level antique cultural relics, but you should listen to my quotation before deciding whether to make a purchase"

Hearing this, Joshua and the Bishop of Kent immediately shivered.

They immediately understood that this was about to be slaughtered!

"Tell me, Steven, what kind of quotation do you plan to make for these top-level antique cultural relics? Let's see if we can accept it"

Joshua said in a low voice.

"Okay, I'm asking $150 million for the gilt-copper seven-branch candlestick, and I'm asking $260 million for the bronze statue of the Prophet Job,..."

Ye Tian said with a smile, but he didn't show mercy.

Before the words finished, Joshua and the Bishop of Kent were stunned and dumbfounded.

It took a long time before they recovered.

"Steven, you guys are so greedy, this is simply robbery!"

"We have cooperated so many times. I thought you would be merciless, but I didn't expect you to be so cruel. This offer is too high, and it is difficult for us to accept it!"

Ye Tian looked at these two old friends and said with a smile:

"Friendship is friendship, and business is business. You all know the importance and value of these top antique cultural relics, and you should know that my quotation is actually not high.

If you can’t accept this offer, then I can only send them up for auction, and I’m sure that the price they will be sold at will be much higher than this offer.”

Joshua and the Bishop of Kent looked at each other, and fell silent for a moment.

After a while, Joshua said:

"Whether to accept your offer, we still need to discuss it and report to Jerusalem. I believe there will be an answer soon, and then we will discuss the transaction!"

"We are the same, and we also need to report to His Majesty the Pope"

The Bishop of Kent continued.

"No problem, gentlemen, I can wait, but it's best to give the answer tomorrow morning. To be safe, if you don't have an answer tomorrow, I will ship these top antiques to New York!"

"Okay, Steven, we'll decide as soon as possible"

Joshua nodded in response, and the Bishop of Kent also nodded.

Then we discussed the transaction for a while, and everyone changed the subject.

"Steven, when you returned to the hotel just now, you said that there is a very important matter to discuss with us, can you talk about it now? What exactly is it?"

"This matter is, on the basis of the exploration locations you provided, I would like to add another exploration location. I am more interested in this location and would like to explore it."

"Ah! Add a new exploration location? Where is this newly added exploration location? What's so special about it?"

"It is just opposite the ruins of the ancient castle we explored today, separated by a deep canyon, which is a very steep and dangerous cliff with special geological conditions.

Just because the cliff is very steep and dangerous, it feels a bit in line with the ancient Hebrew sentence before. It may be the so-called impasse, and the light of God may be there! "

Hearing this, Joshua and the Bishop of Kent immediately jumped up and said excitedly:

"Is the impasse in life referred to in the ancient Hebrew sentence the cliff opposite the ruins of the castle?"
