I Am Louis XIV

Chapter 15 The Unlucky Werewolf Mr. Crelan

Cleland didn't want to think about whether Charlie intended to take his daughter Louise as a hostage, but even so, what could they do? Although the Duke of Cornwall called him Uncle Cleland very affectionately, they There is hardly any blood relationship between them - His Majesty King John Lakeland is the third king of the Plantagenet Dynasty, followed by the Lancastrian Dynasty and the York Dynasty, and the Tudor Dynasty after the York Dynasty, and the Tudor Dynasty The dynasty was followed by the Stuart dynasty, and Charles I was the second king of the Stuart dynasty. There was more than three hundred years between them—but the Serbian werewolf unfortunately encountered the conflict between the church and the Hungarian werewolf. Double sniping, it can be said that he was desperate to find Charles I. Cleland originally only hoped to find a place to live in England, even if it was to serve or serve as the "annuity" handed over to the church by the king.

Charles I didn't pay much attention to these werewolves. He looked at Cleilan as if he was looking at a clown. Under the heavy pressure of state affairs, it was really impressive to be able to command a ferocious werewolf like a hound. A happy thing, at that time, not to mention acknowledging Crelan's identity, he probably didn't regard Crelan as a person at all.

Although Cleland is indeed not a human being, he still has all the self-esteem and pride of a person. For the sake of the group, he had to endure the humiliation of the king, and Charles I, perhaps for the "annuity"-this is what the Inquisition told the king. Another special tax levied by the lords (even if they are unwilling to obey the will of the church), in simple terms, is that the werewolves, wizards or devils in their territory can be dead or alive, if they cannot pay Come up, then the king will pay a large fine.

Of course, the king, or any bold lord can refuse it, it doesn't matter, but the court will immediately evacuate their territory, so that even if the king and lord have castles and armies, their tenants and merchants will become the slaves of werewolves or wizards Sacrifice.

As for the werewolves, expelling the old and weak werewolves once a year, or forcing them to die voluntarily would be a solution to two difficult problems - it can reduce the consumption in the group and satisfy the lord's desire for werewolf fur. need.

The Serbian werewolves have actually fallen apart. Clelan was once a strong and intelligent leader, but the bad thing was that he was too indecisive. Of course, a better way to say it is that he valued feelings too much. But everyone knows that this is impossible, especially those young and strong werewolves, they are not yet at the time of needing mercy, they are very dissatisfied with Cleilan's actions, not because they want to compete for the position of leader , That is, leave alone or in small groups.

But what would happen to the werewolves who left the group and lost their protection? The wolf skin trampled by King Louis of France gave the best answer.

Cleland also went to see the wolf fur. In fact, he didn't need to look at it, but he could smell the smell of his nephew who left not long ago. Speaking of which, this young werewolf is not as good as the other werewolves who left. He hated Kelelan and those old and weak werewolves so much, he just... didn't want to wait to die with this group that was on the way to extinction - but he didn't expect that he would be the first to die.

Therefore, the death of Charles I became the only turning point for the Serbian werewolf. Compared with the old and cunning Charles I, his son Charlie was just a young man, not cold enough, and a little naive. He didn't even question why Cleland didn't To save his father - Cleland must admit that he watched Charles I being guillotined with joy, but he also didn't want to go to Cromwell, the Lord Protector was a Puritan, that is to say, He hated werewolves, wizards, or anything related to the devil, and he would never cooperate with a werewolf.

So Cleland chose little Charlie. When little Charlie almost died, he, and his people, rescued the king's son, the heir to the throne of England, in time.

Little Charlie believed everything he said, which was why he called him Uncle Cleland. He also purposely let Crelan's daughter be his maid, and then his sister's female companion. The benevolent prince said that this is the treatment that a princess should have. Alas, princess, Crelan can I swear to his ancestors, he has no such idea, he just wants a small but quiet forest, which can allow him and his more than a hundred people to spend the rest of his life peacefully.

But that's all for later. While counting in his heart a list of people willing to support the Duke of Cornwall's ascension to the throne, Cleland estimated how much actual support he could get, and walked out of the Richelieu residence, because he Wearing the clothes of a guard, not many people noticed him, only at the corner of the street, a bloody dead dog fell from the sky.

If he was just an ordinary guard, he would have been beaten and stained his clothes, but Cleilan was a werewolf. When he smelled a strong smell of blood, he became more vigilant, and the dead dog fell within a distance of him. For three or four feet, intestines protruded from the abdomen that had been intentionally cut open, creating a mess and a stench. Cleland could hear people laughing, and others mocking someone for being so badly shot—he had heard when he was in England that commoners in Paris, France, liked to use dead cats and dogs, or anything that was dead and couldn't be eaten. Throwing things of nobles or royal guards, it seems to be true.

As he walked, he pressed his nose with a keen sense of smell. The streets of Paris were really dirty. The ground he was stepping on was neither stone nor dirt. What was it?

stool.

The feces of horses, cows, cats and dogs, and people. Animals defecate everywhere, but people leave their feces in the bucket. Housewives or apprentices will carry the bucket every morning, shouting attention, while filling the bucket. All the things dumped on the street, which is why pedestrians try to stay away from the house, or when a man and a woman travel together, the man will modestly let the woman be close to the wall, in order to avoid the collision of the carriage, The second is to bravely leave possible "golden dripping" opportunities to yourself.

There will be no one to clean these feces, and there is no way to clean them. Therefore, after years of repeated trampling and rolling by people, horses and wheels, exposure to sunlight, and washing by rain, the dregs left behind will naturally become new road surfaces.

Brayland was not walking on the road, but on the dung, which made him miss the Serbian forest all the more fiercely.

When he turned the last corner and was about to leave the Richelieu Mansion behind, Breland almost subconsciously cast a last glance at this elegant building, and at this moment, the sharp gaze of the werewolf caught him He arrived at a boy standing in front of a window embroidered with lilies hanging on both sides, looking solemnly at the street—for a moment he didn’t think of the identity of this person, but he quickly guessed it, because with this boy The Duke of Anjou, who is about the same age, still wears skirts to this day.

Breland hesitated, but finally he took off his hat, pressed it to his chest, and saluted the young king deeply.
