Chapter 171: The Wizard of France

Written in front - modified and supplemented, not counted in the word count.

First of all, I apologize to the readers, the tigers and the landing!

This, before the computer screen suddenly appeared a blurred screen and a black screen, and then it coincided with the Spring Festival...... After that, we encountered the epidemic that everyone knows...... My parents didn't allow me to go out, and I didn't know when the online delivery would arrive – but thankfully I managed to fix it in the end...... Now I hope there are no more problems...... Now couriers are not allowed to enter the community...... The TV network has also been calling for non-essential not to go out, and the mall doesn't know if it's open......

Anyway, I'm really sorry, I'm sorry, I made the readers wait for a long time, and the next week will add a thousand words per chapter (free) as compensation, and Jiuyu bowed here.

Finally, the New Year is not over yet, so I wish you all the best, good health, and financial resources!

——————————

What Louis didn't expect was that after the Prince of Condé, it was Bishop La Rivière who came to persuade him not to give more rights and merits to his royal brother, Philippe, Duke of Orleans, this cardinal has always been famous for his wall-to-wall grass, and he was able to wear the bishop's shoulder straps completely thanks to the king, and it stands to reason that he should not be in the crowd of outspoken people - but Louis only thought about it for a moment, and understood the reason for the bishop's action- It was precisely because she knew who her master was, that she did not hesitate to take the king's side.

Remembering that in the events of Dunkirk, the cardinal had suppressed his instincts, and did not eagerly lean towards the Duke of Orleans, and the king was willing to hear what he had to say, and sure enough, even if the bishop gave an admonition, his words were quite tactful and gentle, and to put it simply, he suggested that the Duke of Orleans should stay in Paris instead of going on a campaign with the king, which was also for the sake of the Bourbon inheritance.

This also makes a lot of sense, although it is very difficult to say that the king and the duke die at the same time, generally speaking, this will only be an accident, if captured, the king and the duke will only be treated according to their status, and will not be executed, or even hurt and humiliated, but accidents are situations that people cannot predict, and no one can guarantee that in the chaotic battlefield, the king and the duke will be safe and sound, not to mention that the assassination of the two of them has never stopped.

Louis thought seriously for a moment, and just when Bishop La Rivière thought he had changed his mind, he shook his head: "Next time," he said, "next time, I will let the Duke of Orleans stay in Paris, but this time, I have promised him to join me on the expedition to Flanders." ”

"But, ......Your Majesty," Bishop Larivière could say to hold on rather rarely, and Louis looked at him with a slight smile, he would not be sentimental, thinking how loyal this bishop was, he was just ...... Very self-aware, because apart from Louis, there were not many people in the court who admired him, he was indeed mediocre, incompetent, and cowardly, and the Prince of Condé and even the royal brother Philippe were quite disdainful of him, but Louis did not think of the same as the people of his time, he never expected his subordinates to have outstanding talents, or rather, he valued the suitability of that person for his position more than wisdom and morality, just as he tried to make a small merchant Colbert a minister, and his woman a duchess, and a docile and ordinary cardinal was the archbishop of Paris he needed。

Let's be honest, if LaRivière had the abilities of Richelieu or Bishop Mazarin, he would have become Fouquet's closest roommate.

Therefore, La Rivière did come for himself, because he was the most reluctant to let anyone other than Louis become the king of France, let alone become a cardinal, and as the archbishop of Paris, when the king made the siege of Castel Sant'Angelo and almost repeated the Avignon incident, he was doomed to no longer be able to get even the slightest support from the Church of Rome - But he was not a utter fool, and when the king said this, he sighed, assured the king that he would pray for them before they set out, and left the room to consult with the Queen Mother about how many great Masses and how many minor Masses should be celebrated.

After the departure of Mr. Bishop La Rivière, it was still dark, and no less than a dozen candles had been lit in the king's room, which made it as bright and warm as day, and the king let Bontang extinguish most of them, and at the same time put some important documents into the box with his own hands—in this era, the clerks had learned to use different colored boxes to carry documents of different importance and urgency, and the documents that the king himself packed with his own hands were of course placed in red boxes— Then the king leaned down and put a few letterboxes into a fine leather box, which seemed ordinary, but in fact it was a magic paraphernalia, and the small lock on the lid of the box had a thin needle, and no one could open the box except Louis's blood, and if there was any violence, the box would burn itself, and it contained the contents of several letters exchanged between Louis and Prince Conti. The thought of returning to Paris in fear, and saying in private more than once that he would never leave his official residence for half a step, was the one who was the one who would never leave his mansion again, but when Flanders' strategy was preliminarily determined, and he constantly appeared in front of the king, and he was also the one who was a sycophant in every way, the king could not help but laugh.

This is why Louis must add Philippe to the list of expeditions, this is the first time that Louis Dieudone Bourbon has a personal expedition, and the meaning will definitely not be the same as any subsequent one, it can be said that the people who are fortunate enough to appear on this expedition are the king's henchmen and close friends, and it is not only Conte who is unwilling to let go of this opportunity.

Thinking of Conte, Louis thought of Madame Lavallière, who had followed his orders to meet or rescue Conte, and from Madame Lavallière thought of another important thing, perhaps just as the so-called thinking of whoever would come, just as King Guo was in deep thought, the window of the room suddenly sounded softly, and then with an invisible gust of wind, the curtains were pushed indoors, the flame of the candle shook and extinguished, and the moonlight pouring down from the open window suddenly replaced the artificial light, and then, as if in an instant, the silver-white moonlight became substance, and a breath from the wasteland enveloped it。

"Ah," said Louie, "I'm wondering when you'll be back." He said.

Madame Lavalier, Louise the Werewolf, gently shook her shaggy hair, walked around the room, and then sat down slowly.

It's been a long time since Louise first revealed her true werewolf in front of the king, and more than once, but every time she saw such a beautiful beast crawling in front of her, that feeling was hard for even Louis to resist, he didn't summon Bontang, he went to close the window, and when he returned to the silver wolf, he already had an extra comb in his hand— The craftsmen wondered why the king needed a comb large enough to comb the mane of a horse, and that it was a fine silver comb, inlaid with pearls—they certainly did not know that Madame de Lavallière liked pearls more than precious stones.

When the king did it himself, grooming the giant wolf, the wolf's originally tense body gradually and slowly relaxed, she affectionately stretched out her head, the tip of her wet nose poked into Louis's arms, and was pleased to find that there was not much smell that belonged to other women, she knew that this hatred should not be, whether as a werewolf or as a royal lady, she should not be jealous, and from the beginning, it was a deal between the king and her, but she just couldn't control herself, how should she control herself? A glass of water in front of the thirsty, a loaf of bread in front of the hungry - she is not an exaggeration to say that she is so far from the king, that she is now able to get the position of a royal lady is a complete fluke, the king at that time has little power at his disposal that can be used in the inner world, and the Serbian werewolves have no strength and courage to find shelter again after two betrayals and expulsions.

But as a family member of the devil, werewolves were born with greed - when Louise was Princess Henrietta's maid-in-waiting, the occasional eye contact in the game of cards, the touch of her fingertips or shoulders during the game, was enough to fill her with sweetness and joy, and all she prayed for was that Princess Henrietta would become Queen of France, and that she could stay at court and serve the Queen and the King, and perhaps she would be able to say a word or two to the King when the Queen had something to say to the King.

Princess Henrietta did not become queen, but she became the first royal lady to be recognized, which made her ecstatic and at the same time involuntarily longed for the king's love.

When Louis was grooming his royal lady, he found that Louise was much older than when he first saw him, and when she was lying sideways, she occupied almost all the open space in the room, and even pushed the chair into the corner of the room, and the heavy silver hair spread on the floor, like a huge blanket, and the king now needed to raise her hands to brush the fur on her back, and her long kisses were rarely open in front of the king, but Louis had no doubt at all that she could swallow his entire upper body in one gulp.

It is really dangerous and difficult to take care of such a giant beast, but that sense of accomplishment cannot be achieved by grooming cute cats and dogs, and Louis also regards this matter as a pastime and relaxation after exertion, and it also has the function of exercising- Seriously, it would not have been easy to complete this work if it weren't for Louie's swordsmanship and martial arts courses, and he took care of the terrible beast enough before he went to the room inside, took out a loose satin cloak, and let it land gently on the giant wolf.

"All right," he said, touching the big ear, "change back to your old self," he said, "or how can I talk to you?"

"I'd rather be like this," said Louise, after returning to her human form, "for I feel that His Majesty seems to prefer my wolf form." ”

Louis felt a rare void of heart, and it was true: "Don't say that," His gaze fell on Louise, who, as we said earlier, was not the kind of beauty that people usually perceive, and her face on a male figure might be comparable to that of the Duke of La Rochefoucauld or the Duke of Orleans, but for a woman, it became a tragedy, and the point was that for Louis, he could accept this strange beauty, after all, after all, after a few hundred years, neutral beauty was also popular, and as time passed, Louise's body became more and more of a special wild beauty- Strong body, slender limbs, strong waist, full chest, this is also a great attraction for men.

Louis gently looked away, Louise's expression was gloomy, because she often had to disappear for a long time, for the unknowing, she was left alone to grieve and recuperate because of the unfortunate death of the child in her womb, but who knows, until a few days, the relationship between the king and her was only like friends.

Louis heard a chord, and then Louise walked up to him, already fully dressed, "Sit down," said the king, not letting Bontang come in and light the candle, for the werewolf's eyes preferred moonlight, and the light of the candle would make her feel uncomfortable, even if she was wearing a magic paraphernalia to conceal her identity—seeing that Louise had regained her calm face, Louis also whispered in his heart apologetic, "How is Confran?"

After sending Prince Conte back to Paris, the werewolves continued to do their previous job - that is, the king's order to clean up and persecute the wizards of France - They did not show up when the king needed it most, and they turned a deaf ear to the king's call, and the king certainly would not allow them to continue to multiply in their territory as they pleased, and the island of Gayola let the king know that the inner world was not another world in the real sense, but just a region divided by the monsters, magical creatures and wizards of the inner world from the surface world, and their magic blinded the eyes of mortals, but in fact it still belonged to France or any other country. There are no islands in France where these wizards can live, so their location may be inland, so the king's werewolves rummaged through these wizards in groups like voles in the field, and werewolves have an advantage in this regard, because werewolves and wizards have been enemies since very early times.

Convran is the inner world of France, located on the Franco-Spanish border, once a free city, which has since become obscure, and now seems to be a trick played by wizards.

"They ask for your forgiveness. Louise said.

"That's all?" Louis smiled nonchalantly, "and, they?" In French, they are distinguished from them, but they are more commonly used, because women are not seen as fully human.

"Yes, Your Majesty," Louise paused for a moment, as if unable to find the right words for a moment, "they, all I have seen, are witches. "There may have been a male shaman, but even he was not in the dominant position, whether it was an emissary or a leader, it was only a woman.

"How do they explain their previous malfeasance to you?" Louis asked, not to mention that wizards are not responsible, although they have always prided themselves on being different from mortal talents, they are not stupid enough to ignore the power of the world, or rather, they can deceive themselves when the inner world can still support them, but when the inner world can no longer satisfy their demands...... The Mancini family had always been linked to the Cologna family in Rome, but unfortunately the Cologna family could not provide them with enough shelter, and Naples also had its own wizards, and they finally found Mazarin through Mazarin, and then came into contact with the French court through Mazarin.
