The white elf once again disappeared in Ye Tian's left cuff, and the shock it caused was deeply engraved in the minds of the Ethiopians at the scene.
In particular, several senior Orthodox monks headed by the head of Nda Cion Church kept looking at Ye Tian's left cuff, their eyes were frantic and full of fear.
For this kind of situation, Ye Tian has long been used to it, which is not surprising.
He stepped forward to check the situation at the entrance of the secret passage, and then said:
"This secret passage leading to the depths of the underground and the secret room at the end of the spiral staircase should not contain any highly poisonous creatures, and some have been killed by the little guy, the white elf.
Next, we will use a small drone to explore this underground space again and see the situation in the secret room deep underground. After confirming the safety, we will send someone to explore."
Everyone at the scene nodded without objection.
Immediately afterwards, the employees of the Brave Fearless Exploration Company took out two small drones and started debugging.
When the debugging was completed, they immediately put the two small drones out, one after the other, and flew straight into the hole in the wall.
The next moment, the situation inside the entrance of the cave appeared on the monitoring screen and appeared in front of everyone.
In addition to the spiral staircase leading to deep underground, at the entrance of the cave, everyone also saw two rusty bronze pillars about ten centimeters in diameter.
"Gentlemen, the two bronze pillars you see now should be the mechanism that opened the entrance to this secret passage, or part of the mechanism that opened it.
Because they are too old, they are rusty. Fortunately, they can still work. Because of this, I can open this secret passage."
Ye Tian briefly introduced the situation.
Subsequently, the two small drones flew slowly down the spiral staircase.
On this spiral staircase, a thick layer of dust fell, and the dust was covered with moss, making it very slippery.
The walls on both sides of the stairs are also covered with moss and mottled.
In addition, some mouse footprints can be seen on the stairs, but not many.
This shows that even for rats, this confined underground space is not a good place to settle down.
There are countless hidden corners in Nda Cion Church, and the mice have many choices, so naturally they would not choose such a place to settle down.
Maybe it was because the construction time was too rush, maybe because the function is very single, it is used to hide the treasure.
There are almost no decorations on the walls on both sides of this spiral staircase. There are only two small niches for candles and torches.
Others, such as murals and statues, were not found here.
There were no shooting holes on the walls on both sides of the stairs, and no traces of other traps were found. The stairs seemed very safe.
While the two small drones were exploring, Ye Tian explained the situation while analyzing the situation.
"Gentlemen, as far as the current situation is concerned, no traps have been found on this spiral staircase. It looks very safe and can be passed with confidence. This is undoubtedly a good thing!"
While talking, two small drones have flown to the bottom of the spiral staircase.
Wherever the light went, a small underground secret room appeared on the monitoring screen and appeared in front of everyone.
This secret room is only a few square meters in size, less than 1.8 meters high, and is shrouded in darkness.
Looking inside from the door of the secret room, only limited circumstances can be seen.
In the center of this underground secret room, there seemed to be some boxes stacked, and there were no other items.
Since the secret room is very small, it does not appear to be empty, but rather gives people a feeling of depression.
Seeing this scene, there was an awe-inspiring voice in the church.
"Wow! I can't believe it, deep underground in the confessional of the Nda Cion Church, there is such a secret underground chamber, it's incredible!"
"What are the things in those boxes? Was it the gold and silver treasures and antique artifacts that Alfonso Mendes searched during his mission, or something else? It's too much to look forward to!"
Just as everyone was talking about it, two small drones had flown into that underground secret room for further exploration.
In this small underground secret room, apart from the boxes stacked in the center of the secret room, nothing else was found.
Like the spiral staircase above, there are no statues or the like in the secret room.
You know, this secret room is located deep underground in a famous church, but there are no sculptures of religious themes. This is still relatively rare.
It can be seen from this that when Alfonso Mendes built this secret room, it must be very secretive, and almost no one knew; the time was also very rushed, and there was no time to make any decorations and decorations.
Because the age is too old, the top of the boxes in the secret room, as well as the surrounding walls and ground, are covered with moss, covering all the places.
In a short while, two small drones have completed their exploration.
Ye Tian checked the captured video again, and then asked his staff to take back the drone.
At the same time, he explained to everyone at the scene:
"It is basically certain that there are no traps in this spiral staircase leading to the depths of the underground, and the secret underground chamber, so you can enter with confidence.
The reason for this situation, I guess, was because the time was too rush, and Alfonso Mendes’ time in Axum was too short to make any extra arrangements.
It’s even more likely that this secret room was built when Emperor Susnillos was overthrown and Alfonso Mendes was about to be driven away, just to hide the treasure.”
"Yes, Steven, Emperor Susnillos and Alfonso Mendes failed quickly. They didn't have much time to make more careful arrangements.
When Alfonso Mendes escaped from Ethiopia, it is said that he was alone, unable to take away anything, and within a few years after returning to Rome, he died in depression! "
The head of Nda Cion Church continued.
Other people on the scene also nodded, obviously agreeing with Ye Tian's analysis.
Next, Ye Tian said some of his own judgments.
Then let his staff bring some light sticks over, turn them on one by one, and throw them into the spiral staircase that leads to the depths of the underground.
As a large number of illuminated glow sticks were thrown in, the spiral staircase that had slept in the dark for four to five hundred years finally ushered in light.
After doing this, Ye Tian looked at everyone on the scene and said with a smile:
"Gentlemen, next I will send someone into this secret room located deep underground and pick up the boxes hidden in the secret room. During this process, we will shoot the video throughout.
After picking up the boxes hidden in the secret room, I will open them one by one in front of everyone in this church, clean up the items in those boxes, and register them one by one.
At the same time, I will complete the appraisal and appraisal on site, and then divide this treasure into two based on the overall value after appraisal, and complete the distribution here, so as not to toss afterwards."
Hearing this, several Ethiopians suddenly became a little anxious.
"Mr. Steven, you immediately launched a cleanup operation to lift this treasure from deep underground, and carry out an inventory and register it. We have no objection to these.
However, is it too hasty to start the evaluation and appraisal work immediately and complete the assignment on the spot? How can you ensure that the identification is accurate and the distribution is fair? "
The Deputy Mayor of Axum frowned and said.
Before the words were over, the head of Nda Cion Church continued to say:
"Yes, it was really too hasty to distribute this treasure on the spot, Mr. Steven, distribute the treasure based on your personal identification conclusion and evaluation opinion. How can our interests be guaranteed?"
Ye Tian looked at these Ethiopians, then smiled and said:
"Gentlemen, here I want to say something you don't like to hear. You don't have top antique art appraisal experts in Tigray State, Aksum, and Ethiopia as a whole.
In other words, you can't find authoritative experts and scholars to identify the gold and silver treasures and antiques in this treasure. Without accurate identification, there is no accurate assessment! "
The Ethiopians at the scene were all stunned, without saying a word, with an embarrassed expression.
They want to refute, but the fact is here, and anyone with a discerning eye can see it!
Where are the top antique art appraisal experts in Tigray State and Axum, and there are not many of them at average level!
If you go from outside, it is bound to cost a very high price.
Such a price is again unwilling to pay by Tigray State and Aksum!
Before the Ethiopians could respond, Ye Tian continued:
"I have great confidence in my vision of identifying antique cultural relics and works of art! I can also guarantee that I will be responsible for the appraisal conclusions and evaluation results I give.
In the process of identifying this treasure, we will record a video throughout the process and leave you with a copy of the video material. If you think there is any problem in the future, you can come to the account!
In other words, if you feel that the appraisal results and appraisal values I gave are inaccurate, you can go back at any time and ask more authoritative institutions and experts to appraise them.
As for the on-site distribution of this treasure, it is even simpler. I will divide this treasure into two parts of equal value based on the overall evaluation value given by me.
Next, you will take half of them first, and the other half will belong to our company; if you feel uneasy, you can choose again. It should be fair, right? "
"what!"
The deputy mayor of Axum exclaimed and was stunned.
The same goes for other Ethiopians, all dumbfounded.
Ye Tian smiled and released his killer.
"I understand the situation in Tigray State. Because of this, I proposed this distribution method, which is simply and neat, saves a lot of red tape and saves a lot of time, which is beneficial to both of us!"
Hearing this, the eyes of the representative of the People's Front and the deputy mayor of Aksum brightened.
Yes! Why forgot this!
Tigray State and the Tiren Front now need a large amount of money to buy a lot of things, such as munitions, so where is time wasted on asking experts and scholars to appraise this treasure.
More importantly, the treasure distribution plan given by Steven this guy sounds very reasonable and impeccable!
Even if the distribution of the treasure is completed, isn't it possible to go back and find the account! There seems to be no problem.
Thinking of this, the representative of the People's Front and the Deputy Mayor of Aksum looked at each other and nodded lightly.
Next, the deputy mayor of Aksum nodded and said:
"Well, Mr. Steven, this plan sounds reasonable and we can accept it. This is Tigray State, and it can indeed save a lot of unnecessary red tape!"
Seeing that they nodded in agreement, the head of Nda Cion Church and other senior Orthodox monks stopped saying anything.
After reaching an agreement, Ye Tian immediately called a company employee and an Israeli exploratory team to prepare to let them enter the secret room located deep underground to clean up and transport the treasure.
The reason for choosing them is that these two guys are in good shape.
All of them are only in their early 1.7 meters, lean, and can enter the narrow spiral staircase.
When the two came to the front, Ye Tian told some precautions, mainly related to safety.
Next, they each put on a set of protective clothing, put on various equipment such as gloves and headlights, and then tied a safety rope around their waists before they got into the secret tunnel entrance on the wall.
Because the entrance to the secret passage is relatively narrow, and the spiral staircase is the same, they all climbed backwards into the secret passage with their feet rushing in and their heads rushing out.
Fortunately, everything went well, they all passed the secret crossing safely and entered the spiral staircase.
Afterwards, under the protection of the safety rope, they walked deep underground step by step along the spiral staircase.
In addition to the slippery spiral staircase, there are no traps, so no accidents happened naturally.
After a while, the brave man who took the lead into the secret passage fearlessly explored the company's employees, and he entered the secret room deep underground.
Immediately afterwards, the Israeli exploratory team also got into the secret passage and went down to the secret underground chamber.
As they entered, the underground secret room suddenly became brighter.
The people who stayed on the ground finally saw clearly the situation in the underground secret room.
As seen before, in the center of that underground secret room, there are a dozen old wooden boxes piled up, and each wooden box is covered with moss.
The difference is that some wooden boxes have decayed and are about to fall apart.
Under the irradiation of the powerful searchlight beam, in the gaps of several wooden boxes, a piece of bright light was faintly revealed.
Except for a dozen wooden boxes, there is nothing else in the secret room. You can't see a religious sculpture.
Seeing this scene, everyone was excited.
Especially those Ethiopians, their eyes shine straight.
Ye Tian looked at the monitoring screen, then picked up the walkie-talkie and said:
"Nick, you don't care about the situation in other parts of the secret room. You are only responsible for cleaning the dozen or so wooden boxes. You must be careful when cleaning them. Those wooden boxes are four to five hundred years old and must be fragile.
Next, we will use the safety rope to put down a few small portable safes. You start cleaning from the top of the wooden boxes. It is best to put the wooden boxes as a whole into the portable safe.
If the transfer cannot be carried out as a whole, or the wooden boxes are too badly decayed, you can take out the things in the wooden boxes and put them in the portable safe, and I will arrange for someone to hang them on the ground.”
"No problem, Steven, leave these things to us!"
Nick nodded in response.
Next, Ye Tian asked his employees to put down a few small portable safes, and began to clean up and transfer this hidden treasure.
After receiving the first small portable safe, Nick and the others moved into action.
At the top of the dozen or so boxes in the center of the secret room, a small box was placed squarely.
Nick carefully removed the wooden box from the height and gently wiped off the moss attached to it.
Following his actions, a crimson wooden box appeared immediately and appeared on the video screen.
This crimson wooden box is quite intact, without any damage, and its surface is engraved with some exquisite patterns and it seems that there are some ancient texts.
On the front of this wooden box, there is a golden golden buckle. The buckle is designed as a golden lion and locked with a golden lock.
"Steven, the top wooden box is completely preserved without any damage. It is a miracle. This wooden box is very exquisite and has a certain weight. I don't know what's in it?"
Nick reported the situation via the walkie-talkie.
"This is an African red sandalwood box. This precious wood can effectively prevent moth-eaten and rat bites. It has a dense texture and is very corrosion-resistant, so it can be preserved intact until now.
Judging from the surface decoration and the golden lion buckle, this red sandalwood box should come from the royal family of the Solomon Dynasty, and the contents inside may be related to the royal family of Solomon! "
Ye Tian briefly said a few words.
After listening to his analysis, everyone became more excited.
Next, Nick and the others put the exquisite red sandalwood box into a portable safe and locked the safe.
Two or three minutes later, this portable safe appeared in front of everyone.
Without hesitation, Ye Tian immediately opened the portable safe and took out the red sandalwood box from four to five hundred years ago.
As soon as this red sandalwood box appeared outside and exposed to natural light, some oxidation reactions inevitably occurred, and it suddenly became much older.
Only the golden lion buckle and golden lock still radiated bright light.
Regarding the change of this red sandalwood box, everyone is not very concerned.
What everyone cares most about, and even more want to know, is what is in this red sandalwood box and what secrets are hidden?
Ye Tian and several archaeologists studied this red sandalwood box carefully, and then nodded at the same time.
Immediately afterwards, Ye Tian smiled and said:
"Gentlemen, my previous judgment was correct. This exquisite red sandalwood box is indeed from the royal family of the Solomon Dynasty, and the contents in this box should be related to the royal family of Solomon.
Based on the close relationship between Alfonso Mendes and Emperor Susnillos, I boldly speculated that the contents of this red sandalwood box may come from Emperor Susnillos! "
"Yes, this possibility does exist. The golden lion buckle on the box is one of the symbols of the Solomon dynasty. No one else can use it. This is a proof!"
An archaeologist from Harvard University said, and several other experts and scholars also nodded.
At this moment, the head of Nda Cion Church suddenly said:
"Mr. Steven, how do you plan to open this golden lock? This golden lock has a history of four to five hundred years. Judging from the degree of sophistication, it should be an antique relic of certain value.
If this red sandalwood box is indeed from the Solomon dynasty, its value is higher, so it is better not to destroy this antique gold lock, which will greatly reduce its value."
Hearing this, Joshua and the Bishop of Kent couldn't help chuckles.
Several archaeologists and historians from the tripartite joint exploration team paused for a while, and then laughed.
"Don't worry, I can easily open this antique gold lock without breaking it and see what treasure is in this red sandalwood box?"
Ye Tian said with a smile.
"Ah! How do you open this antique gold lock without the key?"
The head of Nda Cion Church said in surprise that other Ethiopians were also at a loss.
"Just use this, this is the key to unlock!"
With that said, a thin metal pick suddenly appeared in Ye Tian's hand!
Before the Ethiopians could react, he had inserted this metal paddle into the keyhole of the gold lock and moved it gently.
In just three to five seconds, with a soft bang, this antique gold lock from four to five hundred years ago has been opened.
Later, Ye Tian took off the antique gold lock and placed it on the carpet next to it.
"Gosh! Steven, how did you do it? It's like doing magic!"
"I'm not dizzy, am I? The speed is so fast, what use is such an antique gold lock?"
The Ethiopians at the scene exclaimed one after another, their eyes widened, and their eyes were about to fly out.
At the same time, they also felt terrified!
"This guy Steven is so terrible, he can do everything!"
"Who can afford such an amazing guy? Otherwise, I don't even know how his head fell!"
Ye Tian just smiled softly, as if he had done a trivial thing~www.novelhall.com~ After successfully opening the antique gold lock, he stood on the side of the red sandalwood box and opened it carefully. The upper cover of the wooden box.
There were no traps in the box, no sharp arrows shot out, and no deadly poisonous smoke. It was very calm!
Confirmed that it was safe, Ye Tian completely opened the red sandalwood box.
With this action, an incomparably bright golden light flashed on the scene, making everyone's eyes a flower!
Everyone adjusted to the change of light a little bit, and then they could see clearly what exactly is in this red sandalwood box!
It is a quaint and simple chevron-shaped gold crown, which is dazzling!
And around the golden crown, there is a ring of huge rubies, the color is extremely bright, red like pigeon blood.
The scene fell silent for an instant, and everyone was shocked!

Ye Tian briefly said a few words.
After listening to his analysis, everyone became more excited.
Next, Nick and the others put the exquisite red sandalwood box into a portable safe and locked the safe.
Two or three minutes later, this portable safe appeared in front of everyone.
Without hesitation, Ye Tian immediately opened the portable safe and took out the red sandalwood box from four to five hundred years ago.
As soon as this red sandalwood box appeared outside and exposed to natural light, some oxidation reactions inevitably occurred, and it suddenly became much older.
Only the golden lion buckle and golden lock still radiated bright light.
Regarding the change of this red sandalwood box, everyone is not very concerned.
What everyone cares most about, and even more want to know, is what is in this red sandalwood box and what secrets are hidden?
Ye Tian and several archaeologists studied this red sandalwood box carefully, and then nodded at the same time.
Immediately afterwards, Ye Tian smiled and said:
"Gentlemen, my previous judgment was correct. This exquisite red sandalwood box is indeed from the royal family of the Solomon Dynasty, and the contents in this box should be related to the royal family of Solomon.
Based on the close relationship between Alfonso Mendes and Emperor Susnillos, I boldly speculated that the contents of this red sandalwood box may come from Emperor Susnillos! "
"Yes, this possibility does exist. The golden lion buckle on the box is one of the symbols of the Solomon dynasty. No one else can use it. This is a proof!"
An archaeologist from Harvard University said, and several other experts and scholars also nodded.
At this moment, the head of Nda Cion Church suddenly said:
"Mr. Steven, how do you plan to open this golden lock? This golden lock has a history of four to five hundred years. Judging from the degree of sophistication, it should be an antique relic of certain value.
If this red sandalwood box is indeed from the Solomon dynasty, its value is higher, so it is better not to destroy this antique gold lock, which will greatly reduce its value."
Hearing this, Joshua and the Bishop of Kent couldn't help chuckles.
Several archaeologists and historians from the tripartite joint exploration team paused for a while, and then laughed.
"Don't worry, I can easily open this antique gold lock without breaking it and see what treasure is in this red sandalwood box?"
Ye Tian said with a smile.
"Ah! How do you open this antique gold lock without the key?"
The head of Nda Cion Church said in surprise that other Ethiopians were also at a loss.
"Just use this, this is the key to unlock!"
With that said, a thin metal pick suddenly appeared in Ye Tian's hand!
Before the Ethiopians could react, he had inserted this metal paddle into the keyhole of the gold lock and moved it gently.
In just three to five seconds, with a soft bang, this antique gold lock from four to five hundred years ago has been opened.
Later, Ye Tian took off the antique gold lock and placed it on the carpet next to it.
"Gosh! Steven, how did you do it? It's like doing magic!"
"I'm not dizzy, am I? The speed is so fast, what use is such an antique gold lock?"
The Ethiopians at the scene exclaimed one after another, their eyes widened, and their eyes were about to fly out.
At the same time, they also felt terrified!
"This guy Steven is so terrible, he can do everything!"
"Who can afford such an amazing guy? Otherwise, I don't even know how his head fell!"
Ye Tian just smiled softly, as if he had done a trivial thing~www.novelhall.com~ After successfully opening the antique gold lock, he stood on the side of the red sandalwood box and opened it carefully. The upper cover of the wooden box.
There were no traps in the box, no sharp arrows shot out, and no deadly poisonous smoke. It was very calm!
Confirmed that it was safe, Ye Tian completely opened the red sandalwood box.
With this action, an incomparably bright golden light flashed on the scene, making everyone's eyes a flower!
Everyone adjusted to the change of light a little bit, and then they could see clearly what exactly is in this red sandalwood box!
It is a quaint and simple chevron-shaped gold crown, which is dazzling!
And around the golden crown, there is a ring of huge rubies, the color is extremely bright, red like pigeon blood.
The scene fell silent for an instant, and everyone was shocked!

The white elf once again disappeared in Ye Tian's left cuff, and the shock it caused was deeply engraved in the minds of the Ethiopians at the scene.In particular, several senior Orthodox monks headed by the head of Nda Cion Church kept looking at Ye Tian's left cuff, their eyes were frantic and full of fear.For this kind of situation, Ye Tian has long been used to it, which is not surprising.He stepped forward to check the situation at the entrance of the secret passage, and then said:"This secret passage leading to the depths of the underground and the secret room at the end of the spiral staircase should not contain any highly poisonous creatures, and some have been killed by the little guy, the white elf.Next, we will use a small drone to explore this underground space again and see the situation in the secret room deep underground. After confirming the safety, we will send someone to explore."Everyone at the scene nodded without objection.Immediately afterwards, the employees of the Brave Fearless Exploration Company took out two small drones and started debugging.When the debugging was completed, they immediately put the two small drones out, one after the other, and flew straight into the hole in the wall.The next moment, the situation inside the entrance of the cave appeared on the monitoring screen and appeared in front of everyone.In addition to the spiral staircase leading to deep underground, at the entrance of the cave, everyone also saw two rusty bronze pillars about ten centimeters in diameter."Gentlemen, the two bronze pillars you see now should be the mechanism that opened the entrance to this secret passage, or part of the mechanism that opened it.Because they are too old, they are rusty. Fortunately, they can still work. Because of this, I can open this secret passage."Ye Tian briefly introduced the situation.Subsequently, the two small drones flew slowly down the spiral staircase.On this spiral staircase, a thick layer of dust fell, and the dust was covered with moss, making it very slippery.The walls on both sides of the stairs are also covered with moss and mottled.In addition, some mouse footprints can be seen on the stairs, but not many.This shows that even for rats, this confined underground space is not a good place to settle down.There are countless hidden corners in Nda Cion Church, and the mice have many choices, so naturally they would not choose such a place to settle down.Maybe it was because the construction time was too rush, maybe because the function is very single, it is used to hide the treasure.There are almost no decorations on the walls on both sides of this spiral staircase. There are only two small niches for candles and torches.Others, such as murals and statues, were not found here.There were no shooting holes on the walls on both sides of the stairs, and no traces of other traps were found. The stairs seemed very safe.While the two small drones were exploring, Ye Tian explained the situation while analyzing the situation."Gentlemen, as far as the current situation is concerned, no traps have been found on this spiral staircase. It looks very safe and can be passed with confidence. This is undoubtedly a good thing!"While talking, two small drones have flown to the bottom of the spiral staircase.Wherever the light went, a small underground secret room appeared on the monitoring screen and appeared in front of everyone.This secret room is only a few square meters in size, less than 1.8 meters high, and is shrouded in darkness.Looking inside from the door of the secret room, only limited circumstances can be seen.In the center of this underground secret room, there seemed to be some boxes stacked, and there were no other items.Since the secret room is very small, it does not appear to be empty, but rather gives people a feeling of depression.Seeing this scene, there was an awe-inspiring voice in the church."Wow! I can't believe it, deep underground in the confessional of the Nda Cion Church, there is such a secret underground chamber, it's incredible!""What are the things in those boxes? Was it the gold and silver treasures and antique artifacts that Alfonso Mendes searched during his mission, or something else? It's too much to look forward to!"Just as everyone was talking about it, two small drones had flown into that underground secret room for further exploration.In this small underground secret room, apart from the boxes stacked in the center of the secret room, nothing else was found.Like the spiral staircase above, there are no statues or the like in the secret room.You know, this secret room is located deep underground in a famous church, but there are no sculptures of religious themes. This is still relatively rare.It can be seen from this that when Alfonso Mendes built this secret room, it must be very secretive, and almost no one knew; the time was also very rushed, and there was no time to make any decorations and decorations.Because the age is too old, the top of the boxes in the secret room, as well as the surrounding walls and ground, are covered with moss, covering all the places.In a short while, two small drones have completed their exploration.Ye Tian checked the captured video again, and then asked his staff to take back the drone.At the same time, he explained to everyone at the scene:"It is basically certain that there are no traps in this spiral staircase leading to the depths of the underground, and the secret underground chamber, so you can enter with confidence.The reason for this situation, I guess, was because the time was too rush, and Alfonso Mendes' time in Axum was too short to make any extra arrangements.It's even more likely that this secret room was built when Emperor Susnillos was overthrown and Alfonso Mendes was about to be driven away, just to hide the treasure."Yes, Steven, Emperor Susnillos and Alfonso Mendes failed quickly. They didn't have much time to make more careful arrangements.When Alfonso Mendes escaped from Ethiopia, it is said that he was alone, unable to take away anything, and within a few years after returning to Rome, he died in depression! "The head of Nda Cion Church continued.Other people on the scene also nodded, obviously agreeing with Ye Tian's analysis.Next, Ye Tian said some of his own judgments.Then let his staff bring some light sticks over, turn them on one by one, and throw them into the spiral staircase that leads to the depths of the underground.As a large number of illuminated glow sticks were thrown in, the spiral staircase that had slept in the dark for four to five hundred years finally ushered in light.After doing this, Ye Tian looked at everyone on the scene and said with a smile:"Gentlemen, next I will send someone into this secret room located deep underground and pick up the boxes hidden in the secret room. During this process, we will shoot the video throughout.After picking up the boxes hidden in the secret room, I will open them one by one in front of everyone in this church, clean up the items in those boxes, and register them one by one.At the same time, I will complete the appraisal and appraisal on site, and then divide this treasure into two based on the overall value after appraisal, and complete the distribution here, so as not to toss afterwards."Hearing this, several Ethiopians suddenly became a little anxious."Mr. Steven, you immediately launched a cleanup operation to lift this treasure from deep underground, and carry out an inventory and register it. We have no objection to these.However, is it too hasty to start the evaluation and appraisal work immediately and complete the assignment on the spot? How can you ensure that the identification is accurate and the distribution is fair? "The Deputy Mayor of Axum frowned and said.Before the words were over, the head of Nda Cion Church continued to say:"Yes, it was really too hasty to distribute this treasure on the spot, Mr. Steven, distribute the treasure based on your personal identification conclusion and evaluation opinion. How can our interests be guaranteed?"Ye Tian looked at these Ethiopians, then smiled and said:"Gentlemen, here I want to say something you don't like to hear. You don't have top antique art appraisal experts in Tigray State, Aksum, and Ethiopia as a whole.In other words, you can't find authoritative experts and scholars to identify the gold and silver treasures and antiques in this treasure. Without accurate identification, there is no accurate assessment! "The Ethiopians at the scene were all stunned, without saying a word, with an embarrassed expression.They want to refute, but the fact is here, and anyone with a discerning eye can see it!Where are the top antique art appraisal experts in Tigray State and Axum, and there are not many of them at average level!If you go from outside, it is bound to cost a very high price.Such a price is again unwilling to pay by Tigray State and Aksum!Before the Ethiopians could respond, Ye Tian continued:"I have great confidence in my vision of identifying antique cultural relics and works of art! I can also guarantee that I will be responsible for the appraisal conclusions and evaluation results I give.In the process of identifying this treasure, we will record a video throughout the process and leave you with a copy of the video material. If you think there is any problem in the future, you can come to the account!In other words, if you feel that the appraisal results and appraisal values I gave are inaccurate, you can go back at any time and ask more authoritative institutions and experts to appraise them.As for the on-site distribution of this treasure, it is even simpler. I will divide this treasure into two parts of equal value based on the overall evaluation value given by me.Next, you will take half of them first, and the other half will belong to our company; if you feel uneasy, you can choose again. It should be fair, right? ""what!"The deputy mayor of Axum exclaimed and was stunned.The same goes for other Ethiopians, all dumbfounded.Ye Tian smiled and released his killer."I understand the situation in Tigray State. Because of this, I proposed this distribution method, which is simply and neat, saves a lot of red tape and saves a lot of time, which is beneficial to both of us!"Hearing this, the eyes of the representative of the People's Front and the deputy mayor of Aksum brightened.Yes! Why forgot this!Tigray State and the Tiren Front now need a large amount of money to buy a lot of things, such as munitions, so where is time wasted on asking experts and scholars to appraise this treasure.More importantly, the treasure distribution plan given by Steven this guy sounds very reasonable and impeccable!Even if the distribution of the treasure is completed, isn't it possible to go back and find the account! There seems to be no problem.Thinking of this, the representative of the People's Front and the Deputy Mayor of Aksum looked at each other and nodded lightly.Next, the deputy mayor of Aksum nodded and said:"Well, Mr. Steven, this plan sounds reasonable and we can accept it. This is Tigray State, and it can indeed save a lot of unnecessary red tape!"Seeing that they nodded in agreement, the head of Nda Cion Church and other senior Orthodox monks stopped saying anything.After reaching an agreement, Ye Tian immediately called a company employee and an Israeli exploratory team to prepare to let them enter the secret room located deep underground to clean up and transport the treasure.The reason for choosing them is that these two guys are in good shape.All of them are only in their early 1.7 meters, lean, and can enter the narrow spiral staircase.When the two came to the front, Ye Tian told some precautions, mainly related to safety.Next, they each put on a set of protective clothing, put on various equipment such as gloves and headlights, and then tied a safety rope around their waists before they got into the secret tunnel entrance on the wall.Because the entrance to the secret passage is relatively narrow, and the spiral staircase is the same, they all climbed backwards into the secret passage with their feet rushing in and their heads rushing out.Fortunately, everything went well, they all passed the secret crossing safely and entered the spiral staircase.Afterwards, under the protection of the safety rope, they walked deep underground step by step along the spiral staircase.In addition to the slippery spiral staircase, there are no traps, so no accidents happened naturally.After a while, the brave man who took the lead into the secret passage fearlessly explored the company's employees, and he entered the secret room deep underground.Immediately afterwards, the Israeli exploratory team also got into the secret passage and went down to the secret underground chamber.As they entered, the underground secret room suddenly became brighter.The people who stayed on the ground finally saw clearly the situation in the underground secret room.As seen before, in the center of that underground secret room, there are a dozen old wooden boxes piled up, and each wooden box is covered with moss.The difference is that some wooden boxes have decayed and are about to fall apart.Under the irradiation of the powerful searchlight beam, in the gaps of several wooden boxes, a piece of bright light was faintly revealed.Except for a dozen wooden boxes, there is nothing else in the secret room. You can't see a religious sculpture.Seeing this scene, everyone was excited.Especially those Ethiopians, their eyes shine straight.Ye Tian looked at the monitoring screen, then picked up the walkie-talkie and said:"Nick, you don't care about the situation in other parts of the secret room. You are only responsible for cleaning the dozen or so wooden boxes. You must be careful when cleaning them. Those wooden boxes are four to five hundred years old and must be fragile.Next, we will use the safety rope to put down a few small portable safes. You start cleaning from the top of the wooden boxes. It is best to put the wooden boxes as a whole into the portable safe.If the transfer cannot be carried out as a whole, or the wooden boxes are too badly decayed, you can take out the things in the wooden boxes and put them in the portable safe, and I will arrange for someone to hang them on the ground."No problem, Steven, leave these things to us!"Nick nodded in response.Next, Ye Tian asked his employees to put down a few small portable safes, and began to clean up and transfer this hidden treasure.After receiving the first small portable safe, Nick and the others moved into action.At the top of the dozen or so boxes in the center of the secret room, a small box was placed squarely.Nick carefully removed the wooden box from the height and gently wiped off the moss attached to it.Following his actions, a crimson wooden box appeared immediately and appeared on the video screen.This crimson wooden box is quite intact, without any damage, and its surface is engraved with some exquisite patterns and it seems that there are some ancient texts.On the front of this wooden box, there is a golden golden buckle. The buckle is designed as a golden lion and locked with a golden lock."Steven, the top wooden box is completely preserved without any damage. It is a miracle. This wooden box is very exquisite and has a certain weight. I don't know what's in it?"Nick reported the situation via the walkie-talkie."This is an African red sandalwood box. This precious wood can effectively prevent moth-eaten and rat bites. It has a dense texture and is very corrosion-resistant, so it can be preserved intact until now.Judging from the surface decoration and the golden lion buckle, this red sandalwood box should come from the royal family of the Solomon Dynasty, and the contents inside may be related to the royal family of Solomon! "Ye Tian briefly said a few words.After listening to his analysis, everyone became more excited.Next, Nick and the others put the exquisite red sandalwood box into a portable safe and locked the safe.Two or three minutes later, this portable safe appeared in front of everyone.Without hesitation, Ye Tian immediately opened the portable safe and took out the red sandalwood box from four to five hundred years ago.As soon as this red sandalwood box appeared outside and exposed to natural light, some oxidation reactions inevitably occurred, and it suddenly became much older.Only the golden lion buckle and golden lock still radiated bright light.Regarding the change of this red sandalwood box, everyone is not very concerned.What everyone cares most about, and even more want to know, is what is in this red sandalwood box and what secrets are hidden?Ye Tian and several archaeologists studied this red sandalwood box carefully, and then nodded at the same time.Immediately afterwards, Ye Tian smiled and said:"Gentlemen, my previous judgment was correct.
