Chapter 109: Vampire Lester's Wolf Hunt (Part I)
In the second half of the eighteenth century, the place where Duan continued to live was Auvergne, France in 1779, and the France here was not the France above their earth, but an earth similar to the parallel universe, except that it was in the eighteenth century.

At the same time, Duan Jian also found that his performance this time was not with his original identity, but the same as when he was in the town of the Seven Original Sins, the variety show team arranged a suitable identity for him, a small nobleman in the French countryside, and his father was a marquis.
It's just that, unlike that time in the town of the Seven Original Sins, this time, not only has his identity changed, but even his name has changed, here he is called Lester, the third son of his marquis's father, who lived to adulthood, you must know that this marquis has a total of seven sons.
But only three of them lived to adulthood, which shows how high the mortality rate of the current French population is, which makes the section that has lived under the red flag from childhood to adulthood continue, quite emotional.
His cheap father owned a piece of land in Auvergne, France, but due to the political instability in France at this time, the marquis's life was not rich.
Duan Zhi, who is well versed in history, also knows that on the earth where they came from, they are now on the eve of the outbreak of the French Revolution, and it will break out in about another ten years. And then, a big event will happen, there will be a king in France, the first king to be executed, Louis XVI.
It was not long after Louis XVI ascended the throne, and it was hard for Duan to imagine that if this king knew that in another ten years or so, he would be executed by his subjects, and he didn't know what kind of expression he would have.
For this unlucky king, Louis XVI and Duan can only feel sorry, this guy is actually not the kind of king who treats the people cruelly, on the contrary, he is a kind monarch who loves the people.
It's just that Louis XVI gave birth to the imperial family by mistake, and his character determined that he could not become a qualified king, and he completely lacked the talents of his ancestor, the Sun King Louis XIV.
It is even strange that this Louis XVI did not inherit the slightest political talent from his fathers, and spent his days dealing only with mechanical objects, and liked to do some manual work. This is simply a fight with the carpenter emperor of the Ming Dynasty of China, Zhu Youxiao, the emperor of the Apocalypse, and I don't know if it is the reason for the old king next door.
So, due to the political incompetence of King Louis XVI, France is now in a turbulent period.
Since his accession to the throne, he has changed prime ministers and ministers many times, allowed cabinet infighting, and policy changes from radical reforms to conservative frugality, plus France is now in a fiscal crisis, and the people have long been dissatisfied.
However, the king often used hunting to escape from cumbersome political affairs, which led to more chaos in France today, which was also the subjective reason for the outbreak of the French Revolution.
Now, the role played by Duan Constant Lester, although his father is also a marquis, but the family's economy is not rich, because as far as Duan Constant knows, now that the French bourgeoisie has risen, the decline of the aristocracy is a matter of time.
Now Lester's family was in financial difficulty, for example, his eldest brother Augustine, the rightful heir to the family's fortune and territory, who had just begun to use his wife's meager dowry as soon as he got married.
In his memory, the twenty-one-year-old man named Lester was limited to his father's castle, his estate, and the nearby villages, but the young man's personality was restless, he liked to fantasize, he was irritable, and complaining.
Duan's constant memory came to this, what he had to do now was to go out hunting, because yesterday there were a few wild wolves that attacked the sheep of the farmers in the territory, and he also needed to hunt to support his family.
This kind of thing seems to be hard, but in this age of starvation, hunting has become the best thing to do, because not everyone can hunt.
In this era when the aristocracy was still alive, it was an honorable thing to hunt in the land of their ancestors, because in their forests, even those of the middle class or the richest could not shoot a single shot.
Duan kept looking at himself in full armor, he had three pistols and a rifle, and he also carried weapons such as three rifles and long swords, but these things were not of much use to the current Lester, in fact, Duan Zhuji himself.
He didn't even need these things, just the strength of his physical body, the quick reflexes of his brain, these wild wolves were completely useless, but in order not to make others suspicious, he still brought these things with him.
After Duan had packed his belongings, he rode his horse and walked towards the forest with two hounds, wearing raw cowhide boots and a deerskin coat, and a long sword hanging from the saddle, looking like a medieval dress.
Although Duan Zhuzhu didn't think that his dress was very old-fashioned, on the contrary, he was used to wearing modern clothes, and he had a different kind of fun when he put on this medieval costume.
However, the Parisian aristocracy and some fashionable French people would find it strange to dress constantly, and the Parisian aristocracy would call the country nobles hillbillies, while the country aristocrats like Leicester would call them lackeys of the king and queen.
However, no matter what conflicts there are between these nobles, between cities and towns, they have nothing to do with the current Duan Zheng, and his current purpose is to play the role of Lester well, although he doesn't know what bizarre plot he will encounter next.
He was now excited to fight to the death with the wild wolves, although nine out of ten of them were the wild wolves that became his food today, but Duan continued to be quite interested in this kind of hunting experience that he had never had before.
He rode up the mountain, and according to the villagers, there were five wild wolves here, and his aim was to destroy them all, and he was confident that not only was he strong, but the two hounds he had brought with him could bite off the wolf's vertebrae in an instant.
After more than an hour, Duan Cheng had already come to a small canyon, although it was now covered with snow, he could still easily identify the terrain here, and just as he was walking through the land towards the jungle, he suddenly heard a wolf howl.
Then the second and then the third came one after another, and their cries were so uniform that Duan Cheng could barely tell how many wolves there were. But there was one thing he could be sure of, and that was that his whereabouts were now exposed, and that the wolves were calling for their companions. (To be continued.) )
