Chapter 279 Werewolf Lincoln?

After leaving Philadephia, Xie Zihao's next step is to go to the southern states to increase their strength and make the civil war last longer. It is best to permanently divide this future hegemonic country.

But before going to the south, he had to visit New York first, because Lincoln, the federal president who would take office in the next three years, was known as one of the greatest presidents who led the federal people to win the civil war, liberated the black slaves, and prevented the conspiracy of secession of the country.

Abraham Lincoln gave a speech in New York.

Xie Zihao only made this trip after reading the propaganda in the newspapers. He wanted to see the legendary president up close.

It's not that Xie Zihao has any admiration for President Lincoln. In fact, he has already understood that the records in history books cannot be fully believed.

Lincoln's greatest achievement may be the signing of the Slavery Abolition Act and the title of hero who ended the Civil War, but Xie Zihao has heard many different voices from some federal people.

For example, when the civil war broke out in the first place, slaves were never the main cause, and those capitalists did not care about slaves. The fundamental cause was the dispute between interests and ideas.

In this way, Lincoln's role in it seems less glorious. The so-called abolition of slavery has not made the living environment of black people better, but has made it worse.

Capitalists also treat black people as non-human beings, and they go even further than slave owners. In addition to those brainwashed guys, many southerners still deeply hate this so-called legendary president.

Therefore, as Lincoln was the spokesperson of northern factory owners, Xie Zihao never felt how great this legendary president was.

What he wanted to see was whether the future president was as powerful as his ancestors, because Washington, Franklin and others were all proven to be powerful extraordinary beings.

After all, if nothing unexpected happens, Lincoln will be the main opponent that the Tang Dynasty and the aborigines will face in the future.

…

On Worthtree Street, there was no famous Golden Bull in this era, but the name of the financial street had already begun to be famous around the world. Every day, investors or speculators from all over the world came to this street to look for opportunities.

This street is full of bankers, stock traders, government businessmen and other people related to the financial industry. Today a speech was held in one of the banquet halls.

The attendees were all high-society people and big shots from Worthtree and even New York.

The figures of Xie Zihao and Weasel were hidden among a group of young guests. While tasting the champagne of the mid-19th century, they listened to the gossip of young people who had only entered society for a few years.

The reason why I stay with young people is, firstly, it is more pleasing to the eye than seeing a group of old men around me. Secondly, it is also because young people are somewhat careless, especially in this kind of social situation, in order to show their presence.

I feel that many young people will discuss various gossip incidents that have happened recently, but Xie Zihao has heard a lot of secrets from the so-called upper class society.

For example, in this corner of the hall, several young men and women, the youngest in their teens and the oldest in their early twenties, were talking together.

These people look familiar to each other and should be a small group.

From the looks and words of the people around him, Xie Zihao also understood that these people had unexpected backgrounds. They were all young descendants of the families behind the federation.

For example, the Franklin family, the Jefferson family, the Hamilton family, etc.

Among them, the young boy from the Franklin family looked at the head of the banquet hall and saw a mysterious face and said:

"Actually, few people know that Lincoln's name originated from Laiken. In ancient times, do you know what Laiken represented in the myth of Olympus?"

The young lady from the Hamilton family immediately answered:

"I know this. The legendary ancestor of werewolves is called Laiken! In the legend, King Laiken in Arcadia is an upright wolf-shaped monster."

"The original reason was that King Lyken was jealous of the god Zeus, so he came up with a terrible way to humiliate Zeus. Lyken and his son prepared a whole table of human meat to entertain Zeus, and planned to reveal the truth after Zeus finished eating

, bringing shame to the gods.”

"But what kind of person is Zeus? When he saw the banquet on the table, the God King of Olympus immediately saw that the table was full of human flesh. So Zeus was furious and turned Lycon and his son into

A terrifying monster with the appearance of a wolf.”

"From then on, Lyken and his son were still in human form most of the time, but whenever a fixed day came, they would go crazy and turn into werewolves who disowned their relatives, violently and bloodthirstyly killing any living thing they saw. This fixed day is the day of the full moon.

Period. As a result, various legends of werewolves were left behind. In Eastern and Southern Europe, Laiken also became the name of the monster, the werewolf."

Another young man from the Jefferson family asked the Franklin family member with a slightly changed expression:

"Are you saying that this new political star who has joined the Elephant Party is related to werewolves?"

The man from the Franklin family shook his head and said with a smile:

"This is just a rumor. I can't confirm the authenticity. But as far as I know, several vampire families in Worthtree have a very unfriendly attitude towards Mr. Lincoln. It's just that he represents the northern factory owners.

interests, and Worthtree does not yet have the power to control the entire federal economy, so we have to hold our noses and let this former congressman come to speak and raise campaign funds."

Xie Zihao listened with great interest. He really didn’t know the origin of werewolves. Of course, Xie Zihao also knew from his understanding of the supernatural world that there are many types of werewolves. This Lycan werewolf is a werewolf in the popular sense, which is a relatively

Evil dark race.

Legend has it that if you are bitten and scratched by a werewolf, you will be infected and transform into a werewolf on the next full moon night.

In Norse mythology, the werewolf there is not like a mutation of a curse, but a reward.

Legend has it that the great hero Sigmar made a mistake and was forced to wear a cursed wolf skin. He could not take it off for a long time, and finally turned into a powerful and dangerous werewolf.

There is such a group of brave and militant warriors under the Asgard God King Odin. Because these warriors are not afraid of pain or death, and wear the furs of beasts when fighting, they are like facing wolves in the eyes of the enemy.

As terrifying as a beast like a bear, later generations speculated that this was the origin of the Nordic werewolf.

It is said that in ancient times, there were indeed many berserker warriors who became obsessed and thought they were wolves or bears. They would not take off their furs and lived in the forest away from the crowd.

In the Celtic mythology of the Three Islands, there are also warriors who can transform into various beasts such as wolves, bears, and eagles. This is the origin of the druid werewolf.

Druid werewolves can transform into real giant wolves, not half-human and half-wolf forms, and they will not infect other people through bites and scratches, so they are considered to be kind and neutral.

Werewolf.

Xie Zihao has never seen these kinds of werewolves, but because there are basic records in the special affairs bureau's booklet, this shows that these werewolves may exist in the real world.

Among them, the Druid wolf tribe is very rare. As the Druid sect declined in the early Middle Ages, the Nordic wolf tribe almost disappeared hundreds of years ago.

So the most common werewolf, and the werewolf in people’s minds, is the Lycan werewolf.

A dark race that can be classified as a lycanthrope.

Xie Zihao touched his chin and thought.

However, if the dignified president of a country is actually related to a werewolf, or simply a werewolf, then the matter is a bit intriguing!
