In fact, there are many bizarre legends about the Sun King, the most famous of which is that he was surrounded by countless wizards, werewolves, and vampires like King Arthur, who ruled day and night at the same time as a human being, both human and non-human, and bowed down under his throne.

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

Nowhere is this outraged more than the scholars who value facts and research above all else, the problem is that they never seem to be as fast as the Bourbon descendants, and some even jokingly say that the Sun King left his pigeon and owl spies to his children and grandchildren.

Maybe it's true.

In short, in the last month of the summer of 2020, someone was on a wild trip in the Bressels Halepur forest, and found some coins and trinkets from the 17th century, and he gave them to an antique dealer, who, after carefully inquiring about the whole thing, ran with him to the forest with a metal detector, where they harvested a lot, and when the merchant marked the map, he found that the traces of these antiquities were apparently along an obvious path into the forest, and they followed this clue until they came to a large swamp。

The marsh, which has a very modest name called Crelan Marsh, is said to have been a remote village where most of the people were surnamed Creland, but as the development of Brussels has spread to the Halepur Forest – mainly a highway directly through the edge of the forest – there has been an increasing number of adventurous and curious travellers, although the forest is still privately owned...... But they are not so arrogant as to use coercion to drive away tourists.

So more than 100 years ago, these villagers moved to other places.

Ordinary people would be frustrated to see such a large swamp, but the antique dealer, who is half an archaeologist, became excited, and secretly recruited a team to drain a small part of the swamp with a pump, a very small part, but the considerable antiquities and coins in the silt confirmed some of his ideas. The men continued to work harder, and after a further step, something terrible happened, and what was turned up from the mud was no longer the treasure they had always dreamed of, but layers of white bones and partially waxed corpses.

More archaeologists and historians came, fed up with the interference of the Bourbons, and at the thought that this forest once belonged to the Duchess of Brussels, the royal lady of Louis XIV, the Sun King, and their sons, they at once divided up all the things dug up in the swamp as quickly as possible— They were right, because the descendants of the Duke of Brussels immediately affirmed that the swamp and the forest of Halepur, where it was located, were private property, and that they had the right to refuse anyone to excavate here, and that no matter how much the scholars protested, they were immediately expelled and held legally responsible.

The antique dealer was undoubtedly the most culpable, but soon, no one cared about this man.

Because the scholars who were lucky enough to take the bones from the swamp, after inviting more professional personnel and applying the most advanced and sophisticated instruments, from the waxed corpses—the well-watered soil or the places where the air is isolated, the fat of the corpses will be candleted, thus stopping to decay, and over time, eventually turning into a plaster-like form, such corpses will remain in a state of death to the greatest extent possible—after the removal of residual fibers and buttons, Comparing the leather belts and other small things, the scholars finally determined that almost all of these remains belonged to the mercenaries who roamed the Austrian-Dutch border in the seventeenth century, which is nothing in archaeological finds, and the most important thing is that these corpses were not killed by bullets or daggers, they were more like encountering a large wolf pack, some of them still have a clear look of horror on their faces, and most of their deaths were caused by suffocation or bleeding, and the wounds were obviously left by the bite of large canine animals...... At this point, it may be possible to get through peacefully, but an eventful examiner actually extracted flesh from the wound for testing—and then he found the DNA of two people.

There are probably three explanations for this problem: first, the deceased happened to overlap with another deceased, and their blood was contaminated with each other, causing both DNA to appear at the same time, second, the person who killed them used a weapon that resembled the teeth of a beast and caused wounds to others before killing him, and third, they encountered a giant wolf with human DNA – in short, a werewolf.

Everyone knew that King Arthur and Merlin were just legends, and the witches and werewolves of the Sun King were just because he had too many enemies, so they let out such rumors, and the Roman Church at that time, although it was not as good as it used to be, also had a power that people today could not imagine, and maybe those people thought that they could shake the reign of Louis XIV with such a crime.

So this may be the second, which is corroborated by another scholar from Asia, with a letter from the Duchess of Brussels to Louis XIV from the Palace of Versailles, and some contemporaneous letters from the Prince of Conte and the Duchess of Montpensier, who occasionally mention that the king's royal wife, Madame Lavariel, is so weak that she could not even bear more children for the king, but that she had a group of savage people, who were not very competent, and so on, and so on.

Scholars also say that there are at least hundreds of human bones left in that swamp, which is also in line with the contents of the letter of the Duchess of Brussels, and seeing that the situation is about to get out of control, the French government stepped in, and they organized an archaeological and survey team, they excavated the Crelan marsh, and finally they proved that the swamp was indeed the remains of a battlefield, and that the enemies of these mercenaries were most likely a group of Tatars who had retained barbaric customs, and they were accustomed to using sheep's jaws as weapons, which could cause wounds like canine teeth。

Because the Sun King did recruit a group of Tatars, this answer seems reasonable, and ordinary people will not pursue it.

Almost all the corpses and antiquities have been recovered, after all, the scholars and workers who entered other people's territory without permission were not justified in the first place, and after receiving some compensation and promised not to be held accountable, they happily handed over their information, of course, some were unhappy, but as mentioned before, the Bourbon power has spread throughout Europa, and they can make you feel free to do as you please, but they can also make it difficult for you to move an inch.

And then several years passed, and a scholar who had been the first to go to the Creland Marshes and get a whole wagon of corpses was finally going to see God, and when the priest anointed him and asked him what he had to repent, he looked at the ceiling and muttered some sins that were not serious, and just as the priest was about to forgive him on God's behalf, he suddenly straightened up and said in a loud voice: "...... The wounds on those bones were definitely not caused by any weapon!" His loud voice echoed in the room, although he knew that it was a last-minute reflection, but the people in the room could not help but be surprised and frightened, because his appearance was so terrible, he clenched his fists tightly, and shouted with bruised muscles: "No weapon can eat people! Those people were not only killed, but also eaten and eaten! God, they were not Tatars, they were ......"

His voice stopped abruptly.

The priest placed a hand on his chest, "You have been forgiven. ”

He fell, and the children paused for a moment, and no one understood what he meant, and they began to weep, and the priest looked at him for a while, and made sure that the man on the bed would not sit up again and shout something, and withdrew from the room with the deacon.

As soon as he walked out of the room, he sighed deeply.

Louis XIV did not know how much Madame Lavarière's understatement had caused trouble to his descendants, but he was well aware of the situation in Hallepur, because Hallepur was the residence of the Duchess of Brussels and the Duke of Hallepur, just like Paris and Versailles, and it was bound to be heavily fortified, and not everyone could approach the Duke or Duchess at will.

So even if the Duchess of Brussels moved all the inhabitants around the forest and only allowed her people to live around the castle, people can understand, after all, once there is a war, the residents around the castle have the right to enter the castle for refuge, as the royal wife of the French king, and also raise their illegitimate children, it is normal for the Duchess to be reluctant to let the Flemish people live around.

Outside the werewolf village and town were military camps, and there were special merchants in their service, and over time, apart from the arrogance and self-isolation of these outsiders, outsiders really knew very little about them - because to help Leopold I, Louis XIV transferred a number of soldiers from here, and perhaps the movement of the army made some people think that they had found a great opportunity - they knew what they wanted to do Louis knew on his toes.

It's a pity that they can't look at their faces—when those people rush into the house, expecting to see a herd of shivering little lambs, only to be greeted by a pack of hungry wolves...... That expression must have been very moving.

Madame Lavariel's messenger also came to explain to the king that the reason why they threw the corpses into the swamp was because the werewolves were not accustomed to the peaceful and orderly life of Halepur, and that the slightest hint of malice would cause them to immediately transform and slaughter when they were in exile...... So such a corpse can't be seen, so it can only be disposed of by the swamp.

The king only told them to be more careful, but when the army was gone, the sinister fellows would be quieter, and then, "the Duchess of Brussels should be justified." He said.

In fact, there are many people who are ready to move, and in the information submitted by the king's agents, Lorraine, Amsterdam, Groningen, and Marseille are all underflowing, but it is not known how much scum will be turned over, and of course, Paris will never seem to lack mobs, no matter how much their king loves and respects them.

Louis stretched, got up from his desk, walked to the window, he didn't go back to Versailles first, he went directly into the Louvre, from the window of this room you can see the flowing Seine, to say that this scenery should be very beautiful, otherwise this room would not be set up as the king's office, the problem is, I don't know if it was intentional, his royal wife, Madame de Montespan, hung the corpses of the rebels on the gas lamps on the boulevard Saint-Germain on the south bank.

"Bonton," Louis called to his chief attendant, "go and speak to Madame de Montespan, these things will be hung up for two or three days, and if they cause a plague, they will be in great trouble." ”

Bang Tang hesitated for a rare moment.

"What's wrong?" Louie asked.

"Yes, Your Majesty," said Bontang, "Madame de Montespan came to me on the night of your return, and she said......"

"She said?"

She said, "Rest assured, she changes the rebels on the gaslight every day, and there are many more in the Bastille anyway, enough for her to change until the whole of Paris is quiet. ”

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

"To be fair," said Bontang solemnly, "you have been too harsh on Madame de Montespan. ”

"Surprises me," said Louis, "are you speaking for her?"

"All I know is that people now call her the Bloody Atenais, and that her souls are no worse than the two Bloody Daughters before her. Bontang went to the window and lowered a curtain of gray moss so that the king would not always see those disturbing sights.

Louis knew two of the women who were given bloody names: Mary I, who lost thousands of lives in the war of faith, and Elisabeth Barthori, who bathed in the blood of a maiden and killed hundreds of people when she was found. None of them came to fruition, and when they died, everyone celebrated.
