I Am Louis XIV

As a non-human being, Prince Theodric of Vanjoy saw Mary very clearly. Mary's love for the king was not fake, but as a member of the Mancini family, she also had a cold heart— —He couldn't blame her, because the wizards in the other world had been distorted hundreds of years ago. From the beginning, they looked at the same scenery, did the same work, and inherited the same tradition. Originally, the foreign wizards (the newly born young wizards) should bring new customs and knowledge to this dead place. But looking at what happened to Valo Mancini, he knew that not only could they not change the wizards in the other world, but they were forced to change them.

Marie Mancini's nature is not bad, but the problem is that the education she received before coming to the court has made some deformed concepts deeply rooted in her childish heart, although they are difficult to detect, but Once it comes to a critical moment, it will burst out like a thunderbolt, just like now-Marie will not know Louie's ambitions, nor how hard he is for the future of France, but for her For her, wizards are always superior to mortals, even a king, it is an honor to share her blood and life.

She didn't even think about it, if being a wizard is so good, how could the Mancini family want to leave the inner world and return to the outer world at all costs?

But the Jedi would not hear these words. Her love was selfish and narrow. Theoderic looked down at the king in his arms. This young ruler had a pale face and chapped lips. Perhaps Mary was right in saying that the current medical treatment of the world is not enough to keep the king out of danger.

But it is not easy to bring a mortal into the inner world. Time is passing, and the king's body is slowly cooling down. If it continues to delay, it will only be more dangerous. Said, let him leave the watch world, but Theodric doesn't think that the current Duke of Anjou can be compared with his elder brother. After all, Mazaran and Queen Mother Anne almost made Philip a girl in order to avoid brothers' rivalry.

To make matters worse, when they were confronting each other, someone knocked on the door: "We heard some voices." A monk said outside the door: "Is the king and the bishop all right?"

Theoderic set his sights on Bontang, and with a wave of Mary's hand, Bontang could move. He stood up slowly, glanced at the king, and walked to the door, "Thank you for your concern," "I accidentally dropped a candlestick just now," he said.

"Please let us in," said the monk. "It is time to remove the curse for the king."

Bangtang frowned displeasedly, and asked him to say that these dereliction of duty monks are not worthy of trust, but these monks and wizards who also come from the other world have the same bad thing, that is, they always think that they are superior to ordinary people, When the king was assassinated, they didn't think it was their fault. In other words, for them, guarding the king was not their real duty, but they had to do it because of the order of the judge.

Buntang glanced at the king again, and found that he was back on the bed, breathing steadily, and those dangerous non-humans were gone.

The monks walked in. As the spears of the referee, they are the most sensitive to the breath of vampires and wizards. They were the ones who noticed some clues and rushed over just now, but they had nothing but a cold smell It was noticed that one of the monks looked at the bishop and the king: "Well," he said, "brother," he said to the other monk, "let's pray for the king one more time."

So they knelt down and prayed once to dispel the weird atmosphere in the dormitory, "The next time is at the sixth o'clock."

Bontang just crossed himself and said nothing.

When these people were gone, Bontang immediately closed the door and rushed to the king. He dared to swear that when the monks asked him, he wanted to call for help, but he changed his mind in the blink of an eye—— Because what these monks do is only a little better than those doctors who like bloodletting and guanchang, but the witch's potion is more effective, but he is not willing to see the king being turned into a wizard, because it also means that he is representing the world. death.

When Marie and Vesalius reappeared, unexpectedly, there was another vampire beside Theodoric, Prince of Vanjoy. He smiled at Marie, showing two sharp fangs: "This is the vampire. Prince Mihi," Theodric said, "Amon."

"It seems that you have encountered some troubles," Amon said, "But let me tell you, Theodric, didn't you leave a shadow beside my Louis?"

"He's going to church." Prince Vatican said succinctly.

"If it was me, I wouldn't care about such a finger." Amon said, the princes lost a shadow, which will indeed affect their strength to some extent, but as long as there is enough blood and time, it will still grow back slowly of.

"You know it's not the fingers," said Theoderic. "The problem is that the priests must not find out that I'm with the king—at least on the surface."

"Oh, I understand, you can do it, but you can't say it." Amon made a grimace, which was in no way commensurate with his identity and appearance, and he was not cute, but he always spoke to the point: "So what now?" He Ask: "Aren't you going to make up for your mistakes?"

Theodric moved his lips.

"Mary," Amon said suddenly, making the little witch jump in shock: "Indeed," he said, "Blood oath marriage seems to be the only way to save the king now, but according to your education, Man Miss of the Chini family, then you should also know that with me and Theodric now, your plan will come to nothing."

"...But if you do that, Louie will still have to stay in the Underworld, forever," Mary said.

"But being the heir of a prince is much better than being an unknown foreign wizard. According to your plan, you not only want to kill him, witch, but you also want to destroy him completely—think about it, when He lost the king's crown, lost a whole kingdom, and entered the inner world as a humble foreign wizard, facing countless malice and murderous intentions, even if your family——Mancini would have lost it because he cared about you What will he do for a living? If the population of the inner world has not expanded to a terrible level, your family will never give up the original power to call the wind and rain and transfer to the outer world—you Can you bear to settle down in a narrow shack and live a precarious life with hunger and hunger? I think, not to mention Louis, even you yourself will feel extremely regretful... Witch, before you What is the biggest setback? The king rejected your courtship.

When you were still in your infancy, you were wrapped in silk and satin, served and followed by servants and attendants, and you drank exquisitely and extravagantly. When you were in the court, you were even more like a princess—you said you loved Louis, but you Are you sure you don't love the title of king and the power it brings?

I can almost see your future, poor fellow, you want to turn a man of glory into your vassal, and one morning, you suddenly realize that you are just living a worthless nightmare, what will you do Do? I know you want to be Vivian, so who is that Merlin who was sealed alive in the tomb? "

"..." Mary took a step back, a voice in her chest roared crazily, how could it be possible, of course she loved Louis, and Louis was finally conquered by her precisely because she loved not a king, It's just Louie, but another fear creeps into his mind, which is... what if, this vampire is right? She suddenly couldn't see her heart anymore. She looked at Louis in panic. He was asleep and knew nothing. If he really encountered what Amon said... Well, I swear to Merlin, she will kill The future self!

"But no matter what you say," Vesalius said, who had been silent all this time, "Your Highness, your purpose is the same as ours."

Amon pouted in displeasure.

Mary couldn't help but look at Theodric, who frowned in distress.

"Well," Amon said, "up to now, aren't you willing to take out your little cane and poke at our king?"

"What cane?" asked Bontang, who felt ill.

Originally no one would answer his words, but a weak voice said, "Spiritual staff."

Bontang looked back, only to find that Bishop Mazaran had woken up. Although he looked like he was about to faint at any moment, he stabbed Vesalius with a stern look, and Vesalius obediently took out the A bottle of potion, obviously, he should have woken up earlier, but since Mary had some ulterior motives, of course she would not wake up Mr. Bishop earlier, he is the king's mentor and her uncle, his Orders flow throughout the court, and this is no exception.

"The spirit staff is one of the thirteen holy artifacts of the blood clan, belonging to the Vanjo family." The bishop said slowly, "It can inspire the extraordinary abilities of humans and animals."

"To be a wizard?" Buntang asked.

"If you're lucky," Mr. Bishop drank the potion, and his spirit became much better, but for the two vampires, it was obvious at a glance that he was already in an unstoppable haggard state. He was about to die, even if he was a wizard. The potion can't save him, but it can keep him healthy for a short time: "Unfortunately, they will become monsters, because they don't have the talent of wizards or gods and monsters."

"But at least this way you don't have to be restrained by anyone." Theodric said softly.

"He is King of France," said the Bishop grimly, "in life and in death."

"I will not allow it," Amon said, "I will take him away. If the court and ministers decide to abandon their king, then I can also give him a kingdom in darkness."

"Darkness!" Mr. Bishop said: "You have revealed the problem, Mr. Amon, and you also destroyed this child."

"Of course he will change his mind when he becomes my heir," Amon said.

Bangtang showed a sour smile when he heard the words. Now it seems that the little vampire who is said to be Prince Vatican poked the king well. At least the king is still free and not driven by anyone.

The bishop was quiet for a while, and then he looked at Bontang: "Bontang," he said, "as the king's most trusted entourage and friend, you kneel down and swear."

Bontang didn't know why, but he knelt down and made an oath that he would never tell anything about what happened here.

Monsieur the Bishop asked Bontang to come into his room and fetch a book, probably the most untouched book in the Bishop's room, which was known to be full of illegible words. The foreign language is said to be the supplementary and explanatory clauses written for the law of Hammurabi. Its cover is covered with iron, which is rusty, and it is fixed with iron chains and locks. Mazaran uses the small key he carries Open it, before it was opened, the two vampires suddenly straightened their bodies.

"Blood Cup?" Theodric shouted in surprise. He should be surprised. Like his spiritual staff and Amon's puppet, the Blood Cup is also a sacred object of the thirteen clans, but Capet who owns it The Docias lost their traces in the outside world and the inner world a long time ago. Some people say that they perished, some say that they were wiped out by the church, and some say that their descendants retaliated. After the elders died, the descendants also died because of them. Die one by one, really die.

The whereabouts of their holy relic is unknown, and all clans, whether it is the Demon Party, the Secret Party or the neutral clan, are constantly looking for it. Who knew it would be in the hands of a cardinal? No, or rather, it is not so surprising that it is in the hands of a church prince... It's just that they thought they would find it in the hands of church people in Rome.

The blood cup is not as scary as people think, it just looks like a small and simple gold cup, without decorations, symbols and letters.

"Has anyone used this?" Vesalius asked.

"Of course," Theodric said, he and Amon were considered older even among the blood princes: "We have seen it, but it was used on the blood clan."

"The blood cup can overflow the blood of a designated person, and if you drink the blood in the cup, you can possess his power for a period of time." Mary said, her eyes focused on the blood cup, motionless: "But as far as I am As far as we know, no human has ever used it."

"We may have a way," said the Bishop, "but we've run out of time."

"Then whose blood do you want to use?" Amon said with a smile, "How about mine?"

"Wizards don't cure a vampire," said Marie.

"But the blood cup must be used by the vampire," Amon showed a hint of regret, because with Theodric around, he couldn't use it to threaten him: ""Theodric? "

Prince Vatican took the blood cup.

"In return," said the Bishop, "you may take it."

Theodric nodded: "Thank you very much, Mr. Bishop, then, whose blood do you want to use?" He added: "There must be an introduction."

"Yes," Mr. Bishop took out a small bottle from the hollowed-out book. Theoderic sniffed it, and his expression became subtle: "This is the blood of the Colonna family."

"Yes," the Bishop said calmly, "use it, it doesn't matter," he laughed, because he thought how funny the young king would look if he knew that there were wizards in the old family that once had a pope : "This is the goods from the trade."

In this case, there is no problem. Theoderic poured the powder in the bottle into the blood cup. Once the powder entered the cup, it immediately changed from red to black to bright blood red, and changed from solid to liquid. A fresh and fragrant smell emanated from the cup, and the blood appeared on the bright cup wall. The names of all the people, Colonna's surname was fleeting, but everyone saw it—Theoderic gave the king to drink , everyone waited in silence for about a hundred years (in terms of feeling), the king's breath changed.

"The curse has slowed down," Vesalius whispered.

It's just a curse against mortals, not as fierce as those against wizards, but to completely remove the curse, the king still has to go to the other world.

But a king suddenly disappears. Unless he is in exile like Charles II, it will still cause turmoil and unrest. At this time, Amon, who finally waited for the opportunity, raised the thing in his hand: "Uh huh, look Here, guys, what do you think of it?"

"Oh!" Vesalius said, to be honest, when he was in the other world, among the wizards, the powerful magic tools he could get in touch with were not as many as he saw today-it was Mancini's parents You may not have been lucky enough to witness it with your own eyes.

Of course, it can only be the puppet of the Zmich family. The puppet can change into the appearance of that person or monster if it sucks someone's blood. Mr. Bishop didn't let it touch Louis, but released Louis's body with his own hands. Blood, drank a sip of that weird puppet, and then that puppet turned into a king under the eyes of everyone.

Before the puppet changed, it was like a small skeleton wrapped in skin. It was small enough to be grabbed by Amon. It was also wearing a pink skirt and a lace hat. I don’t know if it was Amon's bad preferences. But the Louis it turned into was not the same in clothes, body, and face. His face was also flushed due to high heat, and his body was soft and hot. Even Bontang could hardly tell the difference.

"But those monks..." Bontang said distressedly, they would come to pray for the king every once in a while.

"Don't underestimate the holy relics of the blood race." Mr. Bishop said affirmatively.

Next, it is the matter of Mary Mancini and Valo Vesalius. They want to bring the king into the inner world. Bontang asked to follow, but after much consideration, the bishop still refused——The wizards The most frightening thing about cornerstones is that they are intelligent and logical, and no one can predict whether one more person will mean one more accident.

"But..." Bontang cast a disbelieving look at Mary.

Mr. Bishop just waved his hand lightly.
