Chapter 440 Middle Eastern Treasure
"That's more." Zhang Fan thought for a moment, "Do you want to take advantage of this gap to steal the treasure?"
Aken shook his head, "We don't have enough space. The big turtle shell hasn't been brought here. How much property can be put in the load-bearing space?
"You are content. Do you think Patiguli has any other intentions? Zhang Fan was a little enlightened.
"Hey, you finally understand." Aken laughed.
Zhang Fan thought, "This is an important birthplace of human civilization. Six thousand years away from modern times, even in this era, there are naturally many ancient relics that have to be explored."
"Let's talk about it one by one."
"Through the Sinai Peninsula, it is ancient Egypt. I'm afraid that the relics of the pharaoh can be regarded as a treasure." Zhang Fan raised his finger.
"And the curse of the pharaoh." Aken shook his head.
"Damascus in Syria is also an ancient city for thousands of years." Zhang Fan stretched out his second finger.
"There is endless war, where can there be a baby?" Aken has shaken his head.
"Byzantine has just experienced its heyday and expanded the Eastern Roman Empire for 800 years. Its capital, Constantinople, should have treasures left." Zhang Fan pulled up his third finger.
Aken nodded, "Well, this can be counted as one place. In 1204, the Crusaders and Venetians found more than 1,700 small altars made of gold, pearls, gems and enamel, more than 40,000 gold and silver incense burners and sacred boxes, as well as mountains of other treasures in St. Sophia in Constantinople.
"There is another place..." Zhang Fan pondered, "I think it's exactly what you noticed..."
Aken smiled, "Say it."
Zhang Fan took a breath, exhaled, and said slowly, "This treasure is more symbolic than its value, and it is this era that is most likely to be opened..."
"But this treasure is just a legend, whether it really exists, or a mystery..." Aken nodded.
"Do you say it or not?! ..." The green wing is on fire.
Zhang Fan Aken looked at each other and said together, "The secret treasure of Solomon, the first temple of Solomon in the holy city of Jerusalem!"
"It is said that this treasure was opened by the Knights Templar! There is a great treasure in it! That is the Ark of the Covenant made of gold, which is dedicated to the stone slab of the Ten Commandments of Moses, the real thing of God!"
When Green Wing heard this, he was shocked and said, "Isn't Patiguli just trying to use the brain of this ark to follow the knight of thunder and others to Jerusalem this time? She has a big appetite! This is even more awesome than the 'true cross'!" Although Green Wing doesn't know what the ark of the covenant and the Ten Commandments of Moses are, she has also heard of these two treasures related to God and can feel the extraordinary treasure representing faith, especially for the precept holders.
Zhang Fan smiled, "They are all sacred objects of Christianity, and nothing is more awesome. It's like the parietal reli of Sakyamuni Buddha in Buddhism. However, these religious treasures are not expected to be so easily obtained by the precepters, otherwise those who know a little about history will be robbed of their heads! Moreover, all famous items and props in history are not expressed by their original names, and their appearances are gray, and special methods are needed to reflect their value. Finally, it must be discovered in the real world to become the 'unique'. Even if it can be obtained directly in the scene, it is just an inconspicuous gray prop.
"But anyway, it doesn't prevent us from going to have a look, does it?" Aken stretched out, "Now Patiguli is still on the way with Count Raymond. It's nearly 200 kilometers from the holy city of Jerusalem. It will take at least three days to arrive. We won't go with the group. It should be a little faster than her!"
Green Wing listened and immediately responded, "Then what are we waiting for?" Go and enjoy the medieval holy city of Jerusalem! I have long wanted to see the legendary Israeli Jewish crying wall and the Arab mosque!"
Aacon's eyes turned around, and the eldest sister thought she was going to travel. He said helplessly, "You must have seen it in a travel magazine. We are not going to travel! That is the base camp of the Knights Templar. We are now an accomplice of the Arabs and their sworn enemy! Very dangerous."
Zhang Fan nodded, "Yes, all the way is the territory of the Kingdom of Jerusalem. As we are now, we are vulnerable to the attack of the crusaders. How can it pass?"
Aken called Goblin over and said, "I heard that you picked up some crusader equipment. Can you change some disguises for us immediately?"
"It's too easy. What do you want to disguise? Knights Templar? Or their followers or monks. Yoda took out several sets of equipment picked up from the battlefield from the space.
"Low profile, just dress up as a team of ordinary soldiers. Don't let us touch the Templar's cross sword. It's very troublesome to accidentally complete the task. Aken pointed to several costumes of his followers and military monks.
............
Aken greeted the Apdu team and the fierce king, saying that his team was ready to travel to Damascus in peacetime. Let them do their own. Apdu also had his own ideas. He finally came to this medieval scene where he could move freely, and this era was the prosperous era of the Ayyubid dynasty of the Arab Empire and Saladin's reign. There must be a chance to take this opportunity to visit Egypt or Syria. Therefore, everyone is eager to separate. The fierce king has no problem. He has already had Patiguli's task. The three teams are selfish and tacit.
Aken Zhang Fan immediately left the Muslim army camp in Willis. In the Arab army of this era, these mercenaries were very casual and not very disciplined. Therefore, it is not easy to take leave during the war, and it also saves military food and military expenses.
As soon as they left the camp, Zhang Fan's team immediately changed their wings in a remote mountain. The green wings used makeup to reduce hostility for everyone, dressed as a team escorting monks to the holy city for pilgrimage and went straight to Jerusalem.
Willis's speed is very fast. Even on this medieval pilgrimage road, 200 kilometers will take less than half a day. They set out at noon and saw the walls of Jerusalem in the evening. Because the mediation regiment of the senior crusaders has just been slaughtered by the Arabs, the holy city is now a little heavily guarded. It is mainly for Muslims who come to the pilgrimage.
In peacetime, because Saladin had a peace agreement with Count Raymond, the regent of the then Kingdom of Jerusalem, which allowed Muslim and Arab merchants to travel freely to and from Jerusalem. After the current king Geuil fell out with Count Raymond, this treaty was a little unstable.
At the beginning of 1187, Sir Reynolds, who was mainly responsible for the defeat of the Battle of Hardin, carried out a plunder attack on a caravan from Cairo to Damascus, killing or capturing the soldiers escorting the fleet and transporting a large number of predatory into the castle. Saladin strongly demanded compensation for losses and the release of prisoners of war, but was rejected by Reinard.
Saladin negotiated with the current king of Jerusalem, gy. gy was greatly surprised and ordered Reynolds to do so. Stupid Reynolds refused again. He shamelessly claimed that his fiefdom was an independent country and had no peace with Saladin at all. And this incident is also the cause of the Battle of Hardin. Otherwise, Saladin, who has always been known for his trustworthiness and chivalry, will not take the initiative to tear up the peace treaty and provoke the 'Crayson Spring' conflict. In fact, this conflict has already meant that Saladin has started a war!
However, Zhang Fan's team, dressed as Christian monks and crusaders, entered the holy city without much arrassment. Then go straight to the Holy Land of Pilgrims - Temple Mount. This is the site of the Second Jewish Temple - the Western Wall (Crying Wall), also known as the 'Wall of Sighs'. The legendary Solomon Temple, the First Temple, is under this site.
In addition to the crying wall, two holy places have been established by Arabs, the Holy Stone Mosque and the Al-Aqsa Mosque.
