The fierce werewolves miraculously turned back in this unjust battle, which made the wizards boo, and unlike mortals, they waved their hands and threw small spells, which may have been like stingers or stones, although not very dangerous, but they powerfully aroused the wildness of the last manticore, which wrestled with the werewolves, rolled in the dust, and struggled to bite the throat or spine of the other, but even in this savage fight, the werewolf actually relied on his own wisdom to defeat and win- He turned back from a giant wolf to a man, and when he stood up from the ground, he held the stinger of the manticore in his hand, he looked down at his hand, and the blackened skin showed that he was also poisoned, but the manticore lying on the ground, dying, was the biggest victim of this stinger.

He threw away the stinger he had picked up in the tumble and looked at his "master" , hoping that the guy would keep his promise, but the wizard just turned around indifferently and asked the audience to determine the fate of the winner, and the audience paused for a moment and kept throwing gold or silver coins at the owner of the gladiatorial arena instead of the werewolf, which was also inherited from the ancient Roman way of pronouncing, if they wanted the werewolf to live, then they would throw the coin at the werewolf, but if they thought that the werewolf needed more opponents, they would throw the coin to the owner of the gladiatorial arena.

Louis felt a pang of irritability, he could see every cold or excited face with the help of his position, he knew that feeling, whether it was the stabbing of Felipe Mancini with his own hands, or the signing of the death sentence of a rebel, it was a pleasant and addictive thing to be able to fiddle with another person's orders as he pleased, and the same was true for the wizard here, Louis was about to summon Luka, but unconsciously made eye contact with the werewolf, and the familiar feeling returned, he saw the werewolf's eyes suddenly widen, and then suddenly raised his hand, made a gesture of help, and then a name jumped into the king's memory.

At this time, the new three manticores had been put into the gladiatorial arena, but Louie's box suddenly opened - if the gladiator was not a werewolf, maybe he would not have been able to find out for a while, but he was a werewolf, that is, he had a keen sense of smell, and the moment the barrier opened, he smelled the smell of agarwood and myrrh, and he immediately ran towards Louis, followed by the manticore, but when the nearest manticore pounced, he had already jumped up, climbed the platform of the box, and climbed up.

Lukka's spell with Tuno immediately hit the werewolf, and he let out a scream, his fur blackened, but he was still alive.

After a while, the owner of the gladiatorial arena also arrived, and at first he thought that the spell had failed, but then he realized that the box had been opened by the guests themselves, and it was needless to say that the Duke of Luca de Colonna had bought the werewolf.

He was none other than Crayland.

Creeland appeared here, to Louis's surprise, although the werewolf was also surprised why the King of France was here, but he was clever not to ask a single question, but when he was again neat and clean, sitting with Louis in a secret tavern like a man, Louis asked, "Why are you in this place?" ”

As far as he knew, King Charles II of England was not in a good situation, and he had previously offered to marry the niece of Bishop Mazaran but was refused, and he wandered between several countries, but except for France, the other royal families did not feel sad about the death of rabbits, and they preferred to get along with the powerful Lord Cromwell.

"You may not know," said Clauland, "Cromwell is dead, Your Majesty. ”

"Oh!" Louis did not know, "May God forgive that fanatic," he said, "does it have anything to do with your presence here?"

"I don't know if there is," Clarand said, raising his glass and sipping down the liquor inside, "the only thing I'm sure of is that he doesn't need us anymore." ”

It seems that he did encounter a lot of things, "Is there anyone else in the gladiatorial arena?"

Crelan gave an embarrassed look: "If you can, Your Majesty, I have eleven companions. ”

Louis nodded and instructed Lukka to do it, "What are you going to do next?"

"Do you need a werewolf, Your Majesty?" Creran looked at him, "I don't know how you became a wizard, but those who remain with me are warriors, and Your Majesty, all we need is a place to live—as long as you are willing to show mercy, we are yours." ”

"I'm not a wizard. Louis said that even Paris had a place for these werewolves, and he had not forgotten that Bishop Mazarin had said that there was originally a group of werewolves living in the suburbs of Paris, but they were later slaughtered by foreign werewolves who were intent on assassinating him.

"Aren't you?" Clerand's surprise wasn't disguised, "Aren't you the one who opened the barrier?"

Louis was stunned for a moment, and then it occurred to him that neither Luca nor Tuno could open the barrier of the box without permission, and he was indeed eager to rescue Brelan.

"When I left Paris, you were a mortal. "And I've heard about your assassination in Dunkirk before, so did you suddenly become a wizard?" and "though your age is far beyond the usual age of transformation for foreign wizards, your talent is just as extraordinary, and if you have a credible mentor...... werewolf looked around and sniffed:" I'm sure you will have it, I heard them call you Your Highness, and the title of the watch world is not recognized in the inner world, so that is to say, you are also prominent here, then your growth will be very fast. ”

"But I didn't want to be a wizard. Louie didn't make it clear that he was able to infiltrate the inner world with the Blood Clan's relics, "I may have to return to the Table World soon, and I'll consider your thoughts—I'll ask Lukka to arrange a place for you to live in, and we'll make a decision then." ”

Although Breland didn't understand why Louis was adamantly denying his wizarding status, he didn't say much, just stood up, bowed to Louie, and slowly stepped back and walked out.

After he left, Louis raised his hand, he didn't quite understand how he did it, there was no wind, no strange smell or the so-called heat from the inside of the body, he didn't even realize that he had broken through the barrier, he stretched out his finger and lit the candlestick on the table, "Fire." But nothing happened, he said.

The king couldn't help but smile, perhaps Luca or Tuno had sensed his thoughts, and opened the barrier, he got up from his chair and walked towards the door, and just then, a light passed through the corner of his eye, and Louis turned slowly.

The entire candle, even the bronze one, burns.

——————

As soon as Louis returned to his palace, he saw Marie, and her eyes lit up at the sight of the king, and at the same time she smiled sweetly: "My dear," she said, "I have heard about the Colosseum," and she took Louis by the arm, "as I thought, you will be a very powerful wizard." ”

"I don't understand," said Louis, looking around to make sure there was no one else, "Isn't the power I present borrowed from Colonna?"

"That's why I said you're going to be a powerful wizard," said Marley with great interest, "I've seen the real Duke of Colonna, and I can only say that it's mediocre, and the barrier of the Colosseum isn't something that a wizard like him can break through just by mood swings, do you know what that means? ”

"And," she added, "you haven't been taught and systematically studied by your mentor, and when you do, you'll be a wizard that even the Mancini family can't underestimate." ”

Louis didn't answer, he turned his head sideways and observed Mary, who had been at home since her return to the inner world, dressed in a velvet dark red robe, flat shoes, and a huge hood hanging from her back, constantly reaching out to cast some small spells for play.

Groups of goblins were attracted by her glowing fingertips, and because of the small hurricane she set off, they screamed incessantly, and some of the elves were torn apart by the hurricane, and their shattered bodies dissipated in the air like powder.

"This is Mr. Murfa. Mary introduced him to the wizard who Mary had found for him, an old man with a short white beard, a staff in hand, a black robe, and a pointed hat, which was a wonderful fit for the impression of a wizard.

He bowed to Louie, not so flattering, but ...... He was probably the first wizard Louie had seen in the world without that weird sense of arrogance.

"I think I should thank you well, my good Mary," said Louis, "but may I speak to him first?"

"Of course," said Mary, "if you don't like him, I have two more to choose from." ”

"I think this gentleman is good enough. Louie said.

————————

At Louis' request, Luca served refreshments and left, leaving only him and the strange wizard in the room.

The wizard gentleman bowed his head slightly in respect to Louie, and then waved his staff, and though he didn't know what kind of spell he cast, the room suddenly became quiet—"It's a spell that blocks out sounds, Your Majesty." Murfa said.

"Looks like you do have something to say to me. ”

"Well, I see Vesalius," said Merfa, "I have heard something from Mary as well, thank you for your kindness, Vesalius...... All I can say is that he is too simple, too stubborn, and whether he is a wizard or not, this weakness is fatal. ”

"You are the ...... of Vesalius"

"I am Marie and his teacher, I have almost served the Mancini family, I have no son, Your Majesty, no heir, I thought I could have students, but I didn't expect it...... Vesalius's father wasn't like him, I mean, naïve, but Varo Vesalius ......," he shook his head, "I taught him potions, spells, and ancient writing, but I couldn't teach him more important things. ”

"He shouldn't have been very old when he left here. ”

"That's true. "Youth, love and arrogance are enough to blindfold him, cover his ears, and confuse his mind," said Merfa. ”

"It's a pity that he still does. Louis said: "I have to say, Mr. Merfa, he has let me down. ”

"I see what you mean," said Merfa, "and you'd better have a more established wizard by your side. ”

Louis smiled: "Are you recommending yourself?"

"Of course, this is not an easy opportunity to come by, and if I were in the watch world, I would not even be allowed to walk to you. ”

"As a wizard, you are too presumptuous. ”

"There are too few people in the world who can see themselves clearly, Your Majesty, and self-knowledge is my greatest strength. ”

"Didn't you come here at the behest of the Mancini family?"

"They sent theirs, and I just pushed the boat. ”

"So how do I trust you?"

"I'll do things for you, you just have to see the results. ”

"What do you think I'll need you to do?" said Louis, "Teaching magic?"

Merfa smiled and looked at the king: "I don't think you want to stay in the inner world, want to become a wizard - a wizard is also a courtier of the king, you are already on the throne, why should you be willing to fall?"

"Self-depraved, your words are really harsh. Louis said, "Perhaps every wizard except you thinks that it is a great honor and gratitude to be a wizard." ”

"Like Mary?"

"It's like Mary. Merfa said, "Poor little girl, stupid little girl." ”

"So what does the Mancini family think?"

"They fear you, Your Majesty. "They are ambitious, you know, in the increasingly narrow inner world, the huge body of the Mancini family is difficult to turn, even if it is constantly divided, it is still full of branches and leaves, they want to stretch outward, but they don't want to give up too much, all their power in the inner world is the same in the surface world, they are very anxious, you know." ”

"The problem is that they're not smart. Merfa continued: "They ...... You see, from Felipe to Mary, their nature can be vicious or kind, but the Mancini, like the other great families, have been entrenched in the top of the pyramid of the inner world for hundreds of years, and their children are born above all people, destined to achieve something. ”

This sentence made Louie smile gloomily.

"So, Your Majesty," said Merfa, "they had a terrible thought when they found out that you were a man of a resolute disposition, and that it was difficult to manipulate. ”

Louis lowered his eyes: "Bishop Mazaran will not let them do something like that." ”

"Yes," said Merfa, "your bishop, has made it very clear that if something happens to you, then everyone in the Mancini family will be burned alive at the stake. ”

Luis remembered Felipe Mancini, "That's why he's so reckless." ”

The Mancini family desperately needed a chip that they could hold in their hands.
