In fact, there are many bizarre legends about the Sun King in later generations. The most popular one is that he was like the former King Solomon (King Solomon once drove seventy-two demon kings), or he was like King Arthur. , surrounded by countless wizards and werewolves, vampires, he ruled both day and night as a human being, no matter human or non-human, he must bow his head and knees under his throne.

Of course, about this, the descendants of Louis XIV firmly deny that, even though they have continued for many generations and their bloodlines are scattered everywhere, but as long as they hear and see someone who dares to blaspheme theirs in one way or another The ancestors, they will definitely pursue it to the end, yes, not every descendant of the Sun King can continue to retain wealth and power, but even in 2020, the surname Bourbon is still very powerful and should not be underestimated.

The most angry about this is those scholars who put facts and research above everything else. The problem is that they never seem to be as fast as the descendants of Bourbon. Some people even joke that the sun king put his doves with owls. The spies left it to their children and grandchildren.

   Maybe this is true.

In short, in the last month of the midsummer of 2020, someone found some coins and trinkets from the seventeenth century while walking in the Halepur forest in Brussels. He handed them over to an antique dealer, who asked carefully. After the whole thing, they went to the forest with him with a metal detector. They harvested a lot in the forest. When the businessman marked on the map, he found that the traces of these antiquities were obviously along a line. The obvious path went deep into the forest, and they followed the trail until they came to a large swamp.

This swamp has a very simple name, called Kleilan Swamp. It is said that there used to be a remote village here. Most of the people in it are surnamed Cleilan, but because of the development of Brussels, it has spread to the Halepur Forest - mainly A highway runs directly past the edge of the forest - more and more adventurous and curious travelers, although the forest still belongs to the Duke's descendants... but they are not so arrogant as to force the tourists away.

   So more than a hundred years ago, these villagers all moved to other places.

Ordinary people will be very depressed when they see such a big swamp, but as an antique dealer who is half an archaeologist, he is more and more excited. He secretly recruited a team and tried every means to use a pump to drain the swamp. A small part, a very small part, the sizable antiquities and coins in the silt confirmed some of his ideas. These people continued their efforts, and after they went a step further, something horrific happened. What was turned up from the mud was no longer the treasure they had dreamed of, but layers of bones and partially waxed corpses.

More archaeologists and historians heard the news, because they were fed up with the interference of the Bourbon family, they immediately thought that the forest once belonged to the Duchess of Brussels, the royal wife of the Sun King Louis XIV, and their son. Divided up everything that was dug out of the swamp as quickly as possible—they did the right thing, because the descendants of the Duke of Brussels and Halepur immediately declared that the swamp and the Halepur forest where the swamp was located were private territory , they have the right to refuse anyone to do archaeology and excavation here, no matter how those scholars protested, they were immediately expelled, and they had to bear the corresponding legal responsibility.

   That antique dealer is undoubtedly the most responsible one, but soon, no one will care about this person.

Because those scholars who were lucky enough to take away the corpses in the swamp invited more professional personnel to test with the most advanced and sophisticated instruments, and then removed the waxed corpses from those waxed corpses—in well-watered soil or in a place isolated from the air. , the fat of the corpse will candle, thus stop decaying, and eventually become plaster-like with the passage of time, such a corpse will remain in the state of death to the greatest extent - through the comparison of residual fibers with small things such as buttons and leather belts , scholars have finally determined that almost all of these remains belonged to mercenaries who roamed the Austrian-Dutch border in the seventeenth century, which is nothing in the archaeological finds. The most important thing is that the bodies were not killed by bullets or daggers. , they were more like encountering a huge pack of wolves, and some people's faces still clearly kept a terrified look on their faces. Most of their deaths were caused by suffocation or bleeding, and the wounds were obviously caused by large dogs. What's left after the animal bites... Things may have passed peacefully here, but an eventful inspector actually extracted the flesh and blood from the wound to test - and then he found the DNA of two people.

There are probably three explanations for this problem: one, the dead person happened to overlap with another dead person, and their blood was contaminated with each other, which caused the two DNAs to appear at the same time; two, the person who killed them used a kind of animal similar to Tooth weapon, and inflicted wounds on others before killing him; three, they encountered giant wolves with human DNA - in short, werewolves.

   All the people who saw the third article couldn't help laughing, how could it be possible? Everyone knows that King Arthur and Merlin are just legends, and the witches and werewolves of the Sun King are just because he has too many enemies, so such rumors are released. At that time, although the Roman Church was not as good as it used to be, it also has a power that people can't imagine now. , maybe those people thought they could use such charges to shake the rule of Louis XIV.

So this may be the second point, which is corroborated by another scholar from Asia, with a letter from the Duchess of Brussels at Versailles to Louis XIV, and some contemporaneous, Kong Some partial evidence can be found in the correspondence between Prince Thi and the Duchess of Montpensier, in which they both occasionally mentioned that the king's royal wife, Madame Lavalier, was too weak to bear more children for the king, But there is a group of savage clansmen, who are really not competent, and so on, and so on.

Scholars also said that there were at least hundreds of skeletons left in the swamp. This also matched the content of the letter from the Duchess of Brussels. Seeing that the situation was about to get out of control, the French government came forward and organized an archaeological investigation With the survey team, they excavated the Kleilan Swamp, and finally they proved that this swamp was indeed a remnant of a battlefield. Sheep jaws are used as weapons, which can cause canine-like wounds.

  Because the Sun King did recruit a group of Tartars, this answer seems reasonable, and most people would not pursue it.

Almost all the corpses and antiquities have been recovered. After all, those scholars and workers who entered other people's territory without authorization were not confident enough. After receiving certain compensation and being promised to give up accountability, they happily handed over themselves. Of course, there are also unpleasant information, but as I said before, Bourbon's influence has spread all over Europa, and they can let you do whatever you want, but also make it difficult for you to move an inch.

Several years later passed, and a scholar who was the first to go to Clayland Swamp and get a whole carriage of corpses finally went to see God. When the priest anointed him with oil and asked him what he had to repent of, He looked at the ceiling and muttered some minor sins to himself, but when the priest was about to forgive him on behalf of God, he suddenly straightened up and said loudly: "... those wounds on the bones are absolutely It's not caused by any weapon!" His loud voice echoed in the room, although he knew that this was the last-minute flashback, the people in the room couldn't help but be surprised and scared because he looked too good. It was terrifying, he clenched his fists tightly, and shouted with blue veins: "There is no weapon that can eat people! Those people were not only killed, but also eaten, eaten! God, it's nothing. Tatars, they are..."

   His voice stopped abruptly.

Father    put a hand on his chest, "You have been forgiven."

He fell down, the children paused for a while, no one understood what he meant, they began to cry, the priest watched for a while, made sure that the people on the couch would not sit up and shout anything, and left with the deacon Room.

Before    walked out of the room, he sighed deeply.

  ————

Louis XIV did not know how much trouble Madame Lavarière's understatement caused his descendants, but he knew the situation of Haleb well, for Haleb was the Duchess of Brussels and the The residence of the Duke of Le Boult, like Paris and Versailles, is bound to be fortified, and the police go in and out. Not everyone can approach the Duke or Duchess at will.

So even if the Duchess of Brussels moved all the residents around the forest and only allowed her clan to live around the castle, people can understand that, after all, once there is a war, the residents around the castle have the right to enter the castle for refuge, as the king of France The royal lady of the family, who is also raising their illegitimate child, and it is normal for the Duchess not to let Flemish people live around.

Outside the werewolf villages and towns are military camps, and there are specialized merchants to serve them. Over time, apart from the arrogance and autism of these outsiders, outsiders really know very little about them - because they want to help Leopold. King De I, Louis XIV transferred a group of soldiers from here. Perhaps the transfer of the army made some people think that they had found a perfect opportunity - what they wanted to do and Louis knew with his toes.

   It's a pity that I can't see their faces - when those people rushed into the house and thought they would see a group of shivering lambs, but they welcomed a group of hungry wolves...the expression must be very moving.

The messenger of Mrs. Lavariel also specially came to explain to the king that the reason why they threw the corpses into the swamp was because the refugee werewolves were not used to the peaceful and orderly life of Halebur. When they went into exile, The slightest bit of malice will make them instantly transform and slaughter—after killing the enemy, they also eat part of it out of the tradition of not wasting... So such corpses can't be seen, and they can only be handled by the swamp.

  The king only told them to be more careful, but when the army returned to Harlepur, these ulterior motives would be quieter, and then, "The Duchess of Brussels should also be justified," he said.

In fact, there are many people who are just about to move. In the information submitted by the king's spies, Lorraine, Amsterdam, Groningen, and Marseille are all undercurrents, but it is still unknown how much scum will be turned up, and of course, Paris is also indispensable. , Paris never seemed to lack a mob, no matter how cherished and revered their kings were.

Louis stretched his body, stood up from his desk, and walked to the window. He did not go back to Versailles first, but entered the Louvre directly. From the window of this room, you can see the rushing Seine River. The scenery should be beautiful, otherwise this room will not be set as the king's office. The problem is, and I don't know if it is intentional or not, his royal wife, Madame Montespan, hangs the gas lights on the Avenue Saint-Germain on the south bank. The corpse of the conspirator.

   "Bontang," Louis called his squire chief: "Go and speak to Madame Montespan, and you can hang these things up for two or three days. If there is a plague, it will be a big trouble."

   Bontang hesitated for a moment.

   "What's the matter?" Louis asked.

   "It is so, Your Majesty," said Bontang, "the night you came back, Madame Montespan came to me, and she said..."

"she says?"

   "She said, please rest assured, she changes the traitors on the gaslights every day, anyway, there are still many in the Bastille, enough for her to change until the whole of Paris is quiet."

  Louis withdrew his gaze from the window, half-smiling, "She's complaining to me and taking revenge on me."

   "To be fair," said Bontang solemnly, "you are too harsh on Madame Montespan."

   "Surprise me," said Louie, "are you speaking for her?"

"I only know that people now call her the **** Artenais, and her grievances are no worse than the two **** women before." Bontang walked to the window and put down a layer of gray veil The drapery, lest the king always see those disturbing views.

There are two women known to Louis who have been given the name of blood, Mary I, whose battle of faith cost thousands of lives; Elizabeth Bathory, who bathed in maiden blood and was found Hundreds of people died. None of them had any good results. When they died, everyone celebrated.

   "Are you taking pity on her?" Louis asked.

"I'm worried about you, Your Majesty." Bontang bowed slightly: "Everyone says, don't easily offend a woman, don't easily offend a villain, and don't easily offend a devil, and you are all three. Complete. I don't think you can't control her, but it's like a man happily and skilfully wielding a sharp blade, and the bystanders are terrified even if they know he's unlikely to get hurt."

"It seems that a lot of people have been frightened by Madame Montespan," Louis held his chin. The war, and now that I'm back in Paris, it's time to see her."

  ———

Mrs. Montespan brought her child into the palace. When the child who had not held a celebration ceremony and was not recognized by the king was still a toddler, it was impossible for Mrs. Montespan to hold her in person, so she accompanied her. It's Mrs. Scarron - Mrs. Scaron is an illegitimate daughter, but she has an elder who can't be with outsiders, who is now Innocent XI. In addition, because the king will work on the establishment and operation of the girls' school. It was given to her (the Duchess of Orleans in name), and she didn't need to follow Madame Montespan into the palace.

"I said that you may not think too much," Madame Montespan said proudly and resentfully: "I didn't kill the king when I came to Paris, and now that I have given birth to him a child, will I still treat him Bad?"

"I don't think you can do anything to your Majesty." Compared with Mrs. Montespan, Mrs. Scarron was very strong, and it was easy to pick up a child. Pause: "But you should know that you've been getting more and more out of control of your emotions lately... and you're not willing to follow my advice and go to rest outside Paris for a while."

   Mrs. Montespan glared at her: "No one wants to take away the power that the king gave me!"

Madame Scarone frowned slightly, "If you must think so." Madame Scarone did not think that what Louis XIV gave Madame Montespan was power. The ropes, or chronic poison, but Mrs. Montespan still has illusions, after all, the first two royal ladies are doing almost the same thing as her, and the ending is good.

   She now also has a son of a king.

But it was different, Mrs. Scarron said in her heart. She followed Mrs. Montespan all the way. In the long corridor, people were making way for them. The ladies took their knees and the men bowed. Their eyes were full of The astonishing look, however, will reveal a trace of contempt and fear after Mrs. Montespan left with her head held high.

She also remembered some secrets that the Pope's envoy (not the unlucky ghost who rode a wooden horse) told her - Mrs. Montespan's mother was a descendant of the devil. Although the blood she inherited from the devil was weak, once she woke up, she would be able to Seduces and confuses most men, and even women—except for those who are determined, it is no wonder that the Mannich family must reclaim such a bloodline.

But the owners of this bloodline may not be able to be happy. Their fate will no longer be controlled by themselves when the bloodline wakes up. Maybe, but Mrs. Montespan's mother is definitely not among them - if there is no strong protection , they will continue to attract countless coveters.

In addition to this problem, there is another problem that the owners of this bloodline can uncontrollably perceive the emotions of others and are inevitably affected, which is one of the reasons why they can easily make others surrender , but the devil at the beginning probably didn't expect that someone would use a stunner to deal with the thugs.

The pain, grief and malice had deeply affected Mrs. Montespan, who remained calm most of the time, but in a no-man's place, she was so mad that she began to self-mutilate - albeit nominally for the treatment of headaches method, but bloodletting was proved ineffective by the king's scholars and doctors ten years ago. In Paris and Versailles, there is hardly a doctor willing to perform bloodletting on patients, not even the barber. She has only Bleed yourself.
