The lift was not very fast, and it took more than two minutes to reach where Martin wanted to go.

This should be not far from the top of Cage City, because they can clearly see the light projected from the sky from above the elevator shaft.

The higher the floor, the fewer people on the platform, and the people waiting for the rail car on the platform are more neatly dressed. Some men and women even wear lace skirts, short trench coats and short trench coats that are now popular among the upper classes of the French Empire.

Three-cornered hats, it feels like they are a group of superior 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 neatly dressed people disappeared. Only some people wearing black burqas were left standing quietly on the platform, waiting for the rail car.

.

The place where the elevator stopped was still some distance from the top floor. By estimation, it was about twenty floors. The three of them got off the elevator, turned around a passage, and arrived at the platform on this floor.

At this time, in addition to a few people wearing black robes, there were also Catherine and Nelson who had been separated from them before. They were also wearing burqas at the moment, but the burqas they were wearing were different from those of the other people.

There are differences, such as a few missing patterns, a few more ribbons, etc.

The people waiting for the rail car on the platform obviously have different identities, not only because of the burqas they wear, but also because of the aura they exude, which is different from the workers at the bottom of Cage City.

However, these people with extraordinary status in Cage City are very close and respectful to Catherine at the moment. One of them even leans down slightly when talking to Catherine, looking like a subordinate listening to his boss.

Same instructions.

Because Martin deliberately stepped harder, when the three of them walked to the platform, everyone waiting on the platform noticed their arrival.

It's just that the attitudes of the people waiting for the bus were completely different after seeing Martin.

Three of them acted indifferently, even slightly hostile, while the other two showed admiration and admiration, just like the soldiers guarding the special elevator and the workers on the bottom floor of the Cage City.

The two men in black robes who showed closeness to Martin didn't wait for Martin to walk over, and took the initiative to greet him. They lowered themselves in front of Martin, completely placing themselves in the inferior position, until Martin raised his hand to touch the two of them.

Head, they straightened up just now.

When these two people were about to say something to Martin, they were stopped by Martin raising his hand. Then Martin turned his head and yelled at the three indifferent people: "Does the church even have the most basic etiquette?"

No more teaching?”

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 resigned from the position of Patriarch, I am still the apostle of Aknaya, and my status in the church is the same as that of the three high priests."

When the woman was about to say something, she was stopped by an old man next to her. He gestured to the two companions, then crossed his hands on his chest and moved towards Martin, performing a courtesy that was far from respectful.

Then he moved to the edge of the platform and stopped paying attention to what was going on here.

On the contrary, the two people who had great respect for Martin who had been able to talk to the three people before were a little embarrassed. They wanted to stand beside Martin, but they also wanted to lean towards the three people. They were completely in a dilemma.

However, when facing these two people, Martin's attitude completely lost the aggressiveness he had just now, and he acted very close to the people, indicating that they did not need to worry about what had happened just now, and that they could just go and stand with their companions. He would not

Blame them.

Just when Martin was having a conflict with the senior clergy of the Akenaya sect, Leo and Jason had already walked up to Catherine and Nelson.

"Did Jean Valjean give them to you?" Through the light of the platform, Catherine saw the extremely eye-catching king and queen on Leo's waist at a glance. She was stunned and said in surprise.

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

Feeling that Leo was a little cold, Catherine did not continue to ask any more questions. She said she would help him and Jason get their robes and walked away.

"Doctor, you were together for such a long time and you didn't do anything else?" When there were only three people left, Jason suddenly teased Nelson and said.

"You, don't talk nonsense!" Nielsen shook his head repeatedly and explained: "Kaina and I were just preparing some medicines. She said that there were many patients in the area where the church was located, and she hoped to see if she could give them to her during this trip.

Let them treat it."

"By the way, can we treat them?" Leo frowned and asked, "Are there any qualifications or requirements needed to treat those patients?"

Nelson quickly explained for his sweetheart: "No! Those patients refused treatment. They are all loyal believers of the Aknaya sect. They believe that illness can bring them closer to Aknaya. They also believe that in Aknaya,

With the help of Akhnaya, they can not only remove the pain, but also gain the divine power given by Akhnaya."

As he spoke, he looked at the other five men in black robes and said, "They were also among the patients before, but after they recovered, they became high-ranking clergy of the church. With these people as examples, those who

How can a sick person want to receive treatment?"

"Some bad examples, aren't they?" When Nelson said this, Martin also came over, happened to hear the words about the man in black robe, and intervened in the conversation between the three, and said with some excitement: "The clergy should be

People who are devout believers in gods and truly understand the teachings, not these guys who recover from illness because of good luck. Dr. Nelson, do you think I am right in saying this?"

Hearing this, Nelson nodded instinctively without thinking too much.

"It's a pity that not everyone can see it as clearly as you." Martin smiled bitterly and said: "When those guys proposed to promote these people to priests at the clergy meeting, I knew that such a day would come, so

They fiercely opposed it and even resigned from the position of Patriarch, but they all failed in the end. Now look what it has become, they don’t seek treatment when they are sick, and they are willing to go to the church area to wait for death. Maybe there are one or two

A lucky person can survive and become a priest through lies, but how many people know that the vast majority of other patients missed the best treatment period while waiting and died there. This is not what I established in Aknaya.

The original intention of the sect?”

Just when Nelson was touched by Martin's words, Leo said very coldly: "You should stand in the church you founded and speak, rather than say this in front of outsiders like us."

"I also want to speak to all the believers in the main square of the church, but I also have to abide by my oath." Martin did not have any negative emotions caused by Leo's indifference. Instead, he sighed and said helplessly.

: "I am not allowed to enter the parish of Cage City without the permission of the three high priests at the same time."

Leo unceremoniously exposed the hidden content in Martin's words and said: "If I guessed correctly, the three high priests must have made the same oath. They are not allowed to leave that parish without your consent.

Is it right?"

When Martin heard Leo's words, his face became slightly gloomy, but he immediately returned to his original state. He did not talk nonsense in front of the three Leos, but seemed to have completely forgotten everything he had just said, and abruptly changed the subject.

When it came to the next thing to do, he said: "Originally, I was planning to have you go to the Sacrament Hall for baptism as Protestants, and then enter the catacombs from the Sacrament Hall to look for evidence. Now I think this plan is a bit rough."

Leo quietly watched Martin perform alone and did not take any of his words. As for Nelson and Jason, they also felt that with Leo around, they did not need to pay attention to these things.

The expected conversation did not occur, which made Martin a little embarrassed, but he was not an ordinary person after all. In a certain respect, his mentality was even stronger than Leo's, so he quickly returned to normal and continued to talk about himself: "

But if Kena is here, you will have a good excuse. Kena and Dr. Nelson can enter the catacombs as doctors, where the seriously ill people stay. You two can follow as guards, so you can

Enter the catacombs with weapons, you no longer need to hand them over before entering."

"Very good." Leo responded 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 the others entered the catacombs, no matter the final result

No matter what, he will be the final winner.

At this time, Catherine took two burqas and gave them to Leo and Jason. She just saw the weapons on Leo and Jason, especially the flintlock hand cannon carried on Jason's back.

At that time, he couldn't help but frowned and said: "I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to enter the Sacrament Hall with these weapons..."

"No! Kena, they don't have to go to the Holy Chapel." Martin explained immediately and told Catherine what he had just thought.

After hearing this, Catherine's face became very ugly and said: "You..." She was about to say something, but she looked at the burqas and had concerns, so she made a gesture to Nelson and Leo.

With an apologetic look, he pulled Martin aside to a relatively remote place and said through gritted teeth: "Are you crazy? Don't you still know where the catacombs are? You actually want to cause trouble there, aren't you afraid...

…”

"I'm not afraid of anything!" Before Catherine could finish speaking, Martin said righteously: "As long as the truth can be found out, I am willing to bear any responsibility."

Catherine seemed to be affected by the momentum displayed by Martin, and the look on her face became less firm. Her blaming look towards Martin also weakened a lot, and her tone softened a lot, and she said: "Why do you think that underground

The tomb will be..."

Martin still interrupted Catherine and said: "It's not that I think that only the underground tombs are left. You should know very well that our people have searched every possible place and found no evidence.

There are two places left to look for, one is the Sacrament Hall, and the other is the catacombs. People come and go in the Sacrament Hall, so it is impossible to hide something, but the catacombs are different, don’t you think that is the most suitable place to hide secrets?

?After all, there are either dead people or people who are about to die. Dead people will not tell secrets. Don’t you think so?"

Catherine fell silent, as if she was very disgusted with Martin's suspicion that there was something wrong with the catacombs, but she had to admit that what Martin said was right.

Moreover, she felt that just as Martin said, she had doubts about the catacombs before, but because of the special nature of the catacombs and her trust in her companions, she always involuntarily ignored that place.

Even just now, she was thinking about bringing medicine to the parish to treat patients, but the catacombs were full of seriously ill patients. Logically speaking, her diagnosis and treatment should be in the catacombs, but in fact, she didn't even think of going there, which made her feel

I felt a little sad and a little guilty.

Catherine seemed to have been convinced, but she complained very much: "Actually, it's okay for me to go. You shouldn't let Nelson and the others go with them. If something happens to me, I may come back..."

"No, you can't come back!" Martin interrupted Catherine for the third time and said, "Think about what they did. Once you find the evidence and are noticed by them, no matter who you are, even me,

It's impossible to come back, so don't take any chances."

Catherine also sensed the danger and said: "But this is our own business and we should not let Nelson and others get involved."

"He did this voluntarily!" Martin patted Catherine on the shoulder and said, "Don't you think it was fate that he came here at this time? Don't think too much about it, just think about how to go in the catacombs.

Find the evidence inside!"

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

Catherine stood there for a while and 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. Catherine opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but in the end she did not speak. She just smiled indifferently at Nelson and said it was okay.

While these people were performing their roles to the fullest, they did not know that every move they made was under Leo's surveillance, including the conversation between Martin and Catherine, etc., all of which were clearly known to Leo.

For this reason, Leo had to use perfect control skills to control the hearing of his ears to be large enough to hear the conversation between the two.

Although it is a bit wasteful to use psychic energy for eavesdropping in this situation, Leo thinks that it is worth wasting this spiritual energy. At least by eavesdropping on this conversation, his attitude towards Catherine has changed from being a vigilant to monitoring.

, becomes temporarily credible.

The reason why it is only temporarily credible is that he is still not sure whether the two people in the scene just now were deliberately acting next to him. After all, Martin also knows that he has extraordinary abilities, and with Martin's mind, he might be able to use them.

, to deceive his trust.

With a metallic sound of rolling rails, a ten-car train stopped on the platform.

Everyone walked in one after another. Martin stood on the platform, said to everyone a pleasant journey, and watched the rail car slowly leave the platform.
Chapter completed!
