After listening to Nelson's account, this news that was enough to shake the entire civilized world has almost been confirmed.

"Why didn't they make the news public?" Catherine asked, unable to help but wonder in her heart.

"It must be for the throne! Louis IX has never made a crown prince, and according to the law of succession, three people are eligible to sit on the throne of the Emperor of France, and the Duke of Devon is one of them. Martin smiled a little gloatingly: "But no matter who ends up on the throne, someone from the royal family and his supporters will lose their heads, and this is something to be happy about." ”

Martin made no secret of his hostility to the French royal family, which made Nelson a little confused, but Catherine acted as calm as she was used to.

Suddenly, Leo said to Martin in a slightly questioning tone, "Although I am curious about how you know about such a confidential matter, Your Excellency, I am even more curious about why you are telling us about this confidential matter to these strangers that you have only met for the first time. ”

Hearing Leo's words, Jason still didn't know why, but Nelson already showed a wary expression. The news was so shocking that they couldn't think of anything else, but in retrospect, Martin's behavior was a bit strange, and of course it was unknown if there were other emotions that affected his judgment.

Martin showed a look of grievance that had been wronged, and said: "You are Catherine's friends, I believe Catherine, and naturally I believe you, and this news can also help you, so I will ......"

"Your Excellency Martin, there is one thing you have just said that I agree with. Leo suddenly interrupted Martin's words a little rudely, and said with a smile: "Politicians are not as good as moral." As he spoke, he changed the conversation and said, "You give me the feeling that you are a politician." ”

Hearing Leo's words, everyone was stunned, and the small room immediately became silent.

At this point, Jason seemed to recognize what Leo was saying, laughing and saying, "Are you saying he's?

Nelson looked at Martin and Catherine with some concern, worried that they would be annoyed by Leo's words.

However, Nelson's worries were unnecessary, Catherine also laughed at this time, pointed at Martin and said: "I said a long time ago that your style is very similar to those politicians, and you don't believe it, and now it has been pointed out directly, you should believe it, right?"

Martin didn't look annoyed at all, but smiled bitterly at himself.

After the laughter subsided, Martin put away his smile, changed to a serious look, and said in a deep voice: "I'll tell you the truth! I knew the three of them before I introduced myself just now, but I didn't know the exact identities of the three at the time, and it was only later when Nelson told me about what happened to you that I determined your identities." ”

"You know us?" Leo said, frowning.

"You obviously underestimate what you're doing. Martin took out a newspaper from the leather bag in his hand, handed it to Leo, and said: "When you broke through, among the people you killed was the young son of the Duke of Milan, he was sent to the Duke of Dewen's direct troops for training, I thought it was just a thrilling harvesting battle, but I didn't expect it to be ......."

Leo took the newspaper and read it hastily, then handed it to Nelson and questioned, "Is this the only newspaper?"

Martin shook his head and said: "It's not a newspaper, in fact, before the newspaper reported it, or more accurately, when the death of the knight was just over and the death of the knight was communicated to the duke, I knew about the three, but I didn't know the exact identity of the three, and the real confirmation of the identity of the three was just now." ”

"You see, it's all because you talk too much, and when you see a woman, you say anything. Jason reproached Nelson.

Nelson also showed embarrassment and guilt, and Catherine on the side looked at Martin very dissatisfied, obviously extremely disgusted by Martin's use of himself to obtain information from Nelson.

At this time, Leo's mind didn't seem to be on the matter of his enemy having an additional Duke of Milan, he pondered for a while, and suddenly showed a sudden expression, and said to Martin inexplicably with deep meaning: "I know, it's the Duke of Milan, right?"

This sentence was said without beginning or end, not only Jason couldn't understand it, but even Nelson and Catherine couldn't understand it, only Martin was stunned when he heard this, and looked at Leo with scrutinizing eyes for the third time, and this time he looked at Leo with a little more equality and appreciation.

"It's a lot easier to talk to smart people, and it's nice to have eyes and ears by the Duke of Milan, just as I have eyes and ears to the royal family. Martin complimented, then turned to the three of them, and said, "I want to make a trade that will definitely not lose money for the three of them." ”

Leo raised his eyebrows and said, "Trade with us, aren't you afraid of offending that Duke of Milan?"

Martin laughed, "Someone like the Duke of Milan wouldn't want to waste his time looking down at the reptile under his feet. So saying, he turned to Catherine and said, "Kena, bring me the file." ”

"Documents, you want them to deal with that?" Catherine was stunned, shook her head repeatedly, and said, "No, this is our own business, and we must solve it ourselves." Nelson they just came to visit me and will be leaving tomorrow by train......"

Instead of convincing Catherine, Martin said to Nelson, "I think Nelson would have been happy to help if he knew you were in trouble." ”

As Martin expected, Nelson looked at Catherine with a worried face, and her IQ instantly dropped to the average, and asked, "Kena, are you in any trouble?"

Catherine opened her mouth, trying to persuade Nelson to be nosy, but Martin said inexplicably, "Kena, think about the children. ”

This sentence made Catherine's words stop again, she looked at Nelson with a concerned face, sighed heavily, and then glared at Martin fiercely, and said, "Just like Mr. Leo Dodd said, Martin, you really look like a piece of." ”

After saying that, he pulled the door open and walked out angrily.

Leo barely had to look at Nelson's expression to already know that this guy had fallen into someone's trap, and he jumped off by himself, and he couldn't save it at all. So he looked at Martin with great interest, and said, "I would like to know how you are going to convince me to let me do things for you." ”

Martin said confidently: "It only takes one day, and tomorrow, whether this matter is concluded or not, it will be considered a completed transaction, and it will not delay you from catching the train." So a day's time, a commission of five thousand gold flanges, I think something like this......"

Before Martin could finish speaking, Leo turned to Jason and said, "Jason, how much money did we lose this morning?"

Jason thought about it very seriously and said, "There should be 500,000 gold guilders, right? ”

Under the question and answer, Martin was blocked for a long time and didn't know what to say, he confidently took out five thousand gold flanges as a commission, but the person he wanted to hire casually lost five hundred thousand gold guilders, which made him feel embarrassed like a beggar giving alms to the rich.

It wasn't that he didn't suspect that what Leo and Jason said was untrue, but even if the untruth reduced the number tenfold, there would still be fifty thousand, and these fifty thousand were still gold shields, and if he could come up with so much money on hand, he wouldn't have fallen into trouble in the negotiations with the factory owner, and now that tricky matter would not be a trouble.

At this moment, Martin suddenly remembered that Leo had been in Catherine's laboratory and dissection room for a long time, and his eyes couldn't help but scan the room, and finally his eyes fell on the corpse of the ratoid beast that had been pieced together on the table and the black block next to the corpse.

After his gaze rested on the two objects for a moment, Martin seemed to have a solution, and with a smile on his face, he walked to the workbench, looked at the restored beast in a pretentious manner, and said to Leo without looking back: "Things are recovering well, it seems that Mr. Dodd is very interested in this berserk rat," and as he spoke, he picked up the high-energy substance, threw it in his hand, and handed it to Leo, saying, "The matter I asked you to help has to do with the berserk rat and this thing that comes from the body." ”

Leo didn't take the black block, but looked at Martin and said, "What do you know?"

"I don't know anything?" Martin withdrew his hand and said with a smile, "but I know that you are the chosen ones like me, both of whom see the truth of the world, and we are destined to do something great." ”

Hearing Martin's words, Leo thought for a moment, secretly turned on his vision, and looked at Martin.

However, before Leo could see Martin's situation clearly, he was startled by the gray mist in front of him. I saw that in the small room that there was no abnormality just now, it was already shrouded in gray mist at this moment, not only in the small room, but also in the clinic outside the room, so it is speculated that the entire cage city is also filled with this gray mist.

"It was discovered that the negative energy force field, low-level energy is not absorbable, can be used for mental recovery, can be used for will recovery, and has unknown side effects. ”

Leo barely needs to go through the analysis of the paracerebral system, and with his psychic perception talent alone, he can easily sense the strong negative emotions in the gray mist, which originate from the daily resentment, anger, and despair of the residents of Cage City and other negative emotions are fused together to form a negative energy force field similar to the high-energy force field of the Black Forest.

However, to Leo's surprise, he was absolutely surprised to see the words that could be used for mental recovery and will recovery in the data records, and he ignored the unknown side effects that followed, intentionally or unintentionally.

Although he wanted to understand the effect of the negative energy force field on the recovery of the spirit, especially the will, he also knew that now was not the right time, so he temporarily collected his mood, let his mind return to his original purpose, and looked at Martin.

And so it was. When Martin's figure appeared in his eyes, Leo immediately saw a faint layer of white gas surrounding Martin's body, especially his eyes, where two white gases were coiled around, causing some damage to his vision.

When Leo saw what he wanted, he immediately stopped his vision, picked up the high-energy substance from Martin's hand, and asked, "Do you know what this thing is?"

"I just know that this thing has something to do with special bullets, and I don't know anything else, but I'm having people work on it, if you're willing to get involved......"

"No need!" Leo refused Martin's invitation, then pondered for a moment, and said: "I promise to do you this favor without affecting tomorrow's train, and you can keep the five thousand gold flanges for yourself, I don't need it, but I need you to promise me a condition." ”

"On what terms?"

"I don't know exactly what you need us to do for you, but it must be tricky," Leo said with a smile, "and this kind of tricky thing usually means that there is a lot of loot, and I need to have the power to choose from the loot in a limited way, five pieces." ”

"No! two at most. Martin immediately vetoed Leo's request and offered his terms.

"Two pieces will do. Leo had no intention of bargaining, because the purpose of his offer was not to bargain with Martin, but to test Martin, obviously judging from Martin's attitude, it is not difficult to see that Martin knows very well what kind of loot will be if the matter is resolved, so he will not hesitate to refuse Leo's request.

Martin himself was very wise, and as soon as Leo agreed to his offer, he realized that he had slipped his tongue. It's just that he is not annoyed by this, but is happy, because the more this is the case, the greater the success rate of the matter being resolved.

"Now that I'm a collaborator, I'm also interested in figuring out one thing as a collaborator. Leo suddenly asked: "When you first came to me, you should not have known what we were doing in Breituil, and even if it was what Breituil did, it was not worth your time to spend so much talk to convince us, you must have come to me directly for other reasons, can you tell me this reason?"

Martin pretended to be profound, and said vaguely: "I have already told you the reason just now, my eyes can see the truth of the world. ”

When Leo heard this, he quickly thought of the situation of Martin that he observed through his spiritual vision, and thought of the white gas that gathered in Martin's eyes, and it was obvious that those two gases should be some kind of spiritual energy, which gave Martin a spiritual skill similar to his vision, and through this skill, Martin must also be able to see that he should also have some spiritual energy, so he took the initiative to come forward to contact him.

At this moment, Catherine took a folder as thick as a book with two wooden boards on the cover, walked quickly back to the small room, and then slapped the folder heavily on the workbench, and said with a serious expression: "I will also participate in this matter." As he spoke, without waiting for Martin and Nelson to say no, he raised his hand and motioned for the two of them not to speak, and looked at the two of them very seriously, and said: "You should know my character, even if you refuse, I will still go, I am afraid that it will be more dangerous at that time, do you want to see me in danger?"

Catherine said this, and the two of them couldn't say anything, so they could only reluctantly nod their heads in agreement.
