The speed of the elevator was not very fast, and it took about two minutes or so to get to where Martin was going.

It should have been a short distance from the top of the cage city, as they could clearly see the light from the sky above the elevator shaft.

The higher the floor, the fewer people on the platform, the more neatly dressed the people waiting for the rail cars on the platform, and even some men and women wore lace skirts, short trench coats, and tricorne hats, which were now popular in the upper circles of the French Empire, as if they were a group of high-class people from the French Empire.

However, when the elevator rose to the floor where the walls were painted with red dye, the ordinary workers and well-dressed people disappeared, and all that remained were a few people in black burqas standing quietly on the platform, waiting for the rail car.

There is still some distance from the top floor where the elevator stops, and it is estimated that there are about twenty floors, and the three of them came down from the elevator, turned a passage, and came to the platform on this floor.

At this time, in addition to a few people in black robes, there were also Catherine and Nelson who were separated from them before, and the two of them were also wearing a burqa at the moment, but the burqas on their bodies were different from those of the other people, such as a few less patterns, a few more ribbons, and so on.

The people waiting for the rail car on the platform are obviously not ordinary, not only because of the burqa on their bodies, but also because of the kind of temperament they exude, which is different from the workers at the bottom of the cage city.

It's just that these people with extraordinary status in Cage City are very close and respectful to Catherine at the moment, and even one person will bow down slightly when talking to Catherine, looking like a subordinate is listening to his boss's orders.

Because Martin deliberately increased his pace, when the three of them walked to the platform, the people waiting on the platform noticed their arrival.

It's just that the people waiting for the bus have very different attitudes when they see Martin.

Three of them were aloof, even slightly hostile, while the other two showed admiration and adoration, just like the soldiers guarding the special elevator and the workers at the bottom of the cage city.

The two black-robed men, who had shown an attitude of affection to Martin, did not wait for Martin to come over, and bowed down in front of Martin, completely placing themselves in the lower position, until Martin raised his hand and touched their heads, and they straightened up.

The two men were about to say something to Martin, but they were stopped by Martin raising his hand, and then Martin turned to the three people who were acting indifferently and shouted, "Doesn't the church teach even the most basic etiquette anymore?"

The woman among the three said coldly: "Your Excellency Martin, you are no longer the Patriarch......

Without waiting for the other party to finish speaking, Martin directly refuted: "Although I have resigned from the position of high patriarch, I am still an apostle of Aconaya, and my status in the church is equal to that of the three high priests. ”

The woman was about to say something, but was stopped by an old man beside her, who motioned to her two companions, crossed her hands over her chest, and made a respectful gesture toward Martin, and then moved to the edge of the platform, ignoring the matter.

On the contrary, the two people who were able to talk to the three of them before who respected Martin very much were a little embarrassed, and wanted to stand beside Martin, but they also wanted to lean towards the three of them, completely in a dilemma.

However, when Martin faced these two people, his attitude was completely less aggressive than just now, and he behaved very close to the people, signaling that the two of them didn't have to worry about what happened just now, just stand with their companions in the past, and he wouldn't blame them.

Even when Martin clashed with the senior clerics of the Arconaya Sect, Leo and Jason had already walked up to Catherine and Nelson.

"Valjean gave them to you?" Catherine said in surprise when she saw the king and queen on Leo's waist by the light of the platform.

"Hmm. Leo nodded flatly, as if he had no intention of talking.

Sensing that Leo was a little cold, Catherine didn't continue to ask, and after saying a word to help him and Jason get the burqa, she walked away.

"Doctor, you guys haven't done anything else after you've been together for so long?" Jason suddenly laughed at Nelson when there were only three left.

"You, don't talk nonsense!" Nelson shook her head again and again, explaining, "Kena and I are just preparing some medicine, she said that in the area where the church is located, there are many patients, and she hopes to see if she can treat them on this trip." ”

"By the way, let's see if you can treat them?" Leo frowned when he heard this, and asked, "Do you need any qualifications or requirements to treat those patients?"

Nelson hurriedly explained for his sweetheart: "No! They are all faithful followers of the Aknaya sect, believing that illness will bring them closer to Aknaya, and they also believe that with Aknaya's help, they will not only be able to remove their pain, but also receive the divine power that Aknaya has bestowed. ”

As he spoke, he looked at the other five black-robed men and said, "Several of them used to be one of the patients, but after they recovered, they became high-ranking clergy of the church. With these people as role models, how can those who are sick be willing to be treated. ”

"Some bad example, isn't it?" When Nelson said this, Martin also walked over, just in time to hear the words about the black-robed man, inserted into the conversation between the three of them, and said with some excitement: "The clergy should be people who are devout to the gods and truly understand the teachings, not these guys who have recovered from illness because of good luck. Dr. Nelson, do you think I'm right to say that?"

Hearing this, Nelson nodded instinctively without much thought.

"Unfortunately, not everyone can see it as well as you do. Martin smiled bitterly and said, "When those guys proposed to promote these people to the clergy at the priesthood meeting, I knew that there would be such a day, so I fiercely opposed it, and even did not hesitate to resign from the position of patriarch, but in the end it all failed. Now you look at what has become of this, and if you are sick, you don't go to the treatment, and you are willing to run to the church area and wait for death. Maybe one or two lucky people will survive and become clergy through lies, but how many people know that the vast majority of other patients have missed the best treatment period while waiting and died there, which is not what I founded the Aknaya Sect in the first place?"

Just when Nelson was touched by Martin's words, Leo said very coldly: "You should stand in the church you founded and speak, not say it in front of us outsiders." ”

"I also want to speak to all the believers in the main square of the church, but I also have to keep my vows. Martin didn't feel any negative emotions because of Leo's indifference, but sighed and said helplessly: "I am not allowed to enter the Diocese of Caged City without the permission of the three high priests at the same time. ”

Leo unceremoniously debunked the hidden content of Martin's words, and said, "If I'm not mistaken, the three high priests must have the same oath that they must not leave that parish without your consent, right?"

Martin's face was slightly gloomy when he heard Leo's words, but he immediately returned to his original state, and did not make any more nonsense in front of Leo and the three of them, but as if he had forgotten everything he had just said, he stiffly turned the topic back to what he was going to do next, and said: "Originally, I was going to let you go to the Saccharbelle to participate in the baptism as Protestants, and then enter the catacombs from the Saccharille to find evidence, but now I think that this plan is a bit rough. ”

Leo quietly watched Martin perform alone, and didn't take his words, and as for Nelson and Jason, they also felt that Leo was there, and they didn't need to pay attention to these things.

The expected conversation did not appear, which made Martin a little embarrassed, but he was not an ordinary person after all, and in a certain way, his mentality was even stronger than Leo, so he quickly returned to normal and continued to his own thoughts: "But if Kena is here, you have a good excuse, Kena and Dr. Nelson can enter the catacombs as doctors, which is where the seriously ill stay, and you two can follow as guards, so that you can also enter the catacombs with weapons without handing them over before entering." ”

"Good. Leo replied very simply.

At this moment, Martin could clearly feel Leo's distrust of him, and he didn't care about it, because in his opinion, even if Leo saw through his intentions, as long as Catherine and them entered the catacombs, no matter what the final result was, he would be the final winner.

At this time, Catherine took two burqas and handed them to Leo and Jason, but when she saw the weapons on Leo and Jason's bodies, especially the flintlock cannon that Jason was carrying on his back, she couldn't help frowning and said, "I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to enter the Saccharbelle with these weapons......"

"No, Kena, they don't have to go to the Sainte-Chapel. Martin immediately explained, telling Catherine what he had just thought.

When Catherine heard this, her face turned very ugly, and she said, "You ......" and was about to say something, but she looked at the burqa and was worried, so she gave Nelson and Leo an apologetic look, pulled Martin to a relatively remote place, gritted her teeth, and said, "Are you crazy? Don't you know what the catacombs are? You want to make trouble there, aren't you afraid of ......?"

"I'm not afraid of anything!" Before Catherine could finish speaking, Martin said in a righteous and awe-inspiring manner: "As long as I can find out the truth, I am willing to bear any responsibility." ”

Catherine seemed to be affected by Martin's momentum, and the expression on her face became less determined, and her reproachful expression towards Martin weakened a lot, and her tone softened a lot, saying, "Why do you think the catacombs are ......?"

Martin still interrupted Catherine's words, and said: "It's not that I think it's the catacombs left, you should know very well that our people have searched all possible places, but they haven't found any evidence, and there are only two places left unfound, one is the Sainte-Chapel, and the other is the catacombs." The Sacricade is so crowded that it is impossible to hide it, but the catacombs are different, and don't you think that it is the best place to hide secrets? Don't you think so?"

Catherine fell silent, seemingly disgusted by Martin's suspicion that there was something wrong with the catacombs, but she had to admit that Martin was right.

And she felt that she had been suspicious of the catacombs before, as Martin said, but because of the special nature of the catacombs and the trust in her companions, she always involuntarily ignored that place.

Even just now, she was thinking of bringing medicine to the diocese to treat the sick, but the catacombs were full of seriously ill patients, and it stands to reason that there should be catacombs in her place for treatment, but in fact she didn't think of going there at all, which made her feel a little sad and guilty.

Catherine seemed to have been convinced, but she complained very much: "Actually, I can go, you shouldn't let Nelson and them go with me, if something happens to me, I may come back......"

"No, there's no way you're coming back!" Martin interrupted Catherine for the third time, "think about what they've done, once you find the evidence, they're aware of it, whoever you are, not even me, can't come back, you must not have any luck in your heart." ”

Catherine also sensed the danger and said, "But this is our own business, and we shouldn't let Nelson and them get involved." ”

"He did it of his own free will!" Martin patted Catherine on the shoulder, and said, "Don't you think it's a fate that he's here at this time?" don't think about it too much, let's think about how to find evidence in the catacombs!"

After speaking, he took the initiative to end the conversation and walked back to the platform.

Catherine stood there for a moment, then walked out slowly.

At this time, Nelson saw that Catherine's face was a little ugly, so he stepped forward to ask about the situation, and Catherine opened her mouth to say something, but in the end she didn't speak, just smiled indifferently at Nelson and said it was okay.

While these people are performing according to their own roles, they don't know their every move, and they are all under Leo's surveillance, including the conversation between Martin and Catherine, etc., are all known to Leo. To do this, Leo had to use his perfect control skills to control his ears enough to hear a conversation between them.

Although it was a bit wasteful to use psionic energy for eavesdropping on this occasion, Leo thought that it was worth wasting this psionic energy, at least by eavesdropping on the conversation, his attitude towards Catherine had changed from vigilant surveillance to temporary trustworthiness.

The reason why it was only temporary was because he was not sure whether the two of them were deliberately acting next to him in the scene just now, after all, Martin also knew that he had extraordinary abilities, and with Martin's mind, he might use them to deceive his trust.

With the metallic sound of rails crushing, a ten-car rail car stopped on the platform.

The crowd walked in one after another, and Martin stood on the platform, said to everyone a good ride, and watched the rail car slowly drive away from the platform.

Perhaps because everyone was gone, he couldn't hide a smug smile on his face at this time, and this smile happened to be captured by Leo, who inspired his vision.
