I Am Louis XIV

When Louis received the letter from his chief physician, everything was settled. In front of the witch, these "pious" people were helpless. , when the witches who could really cast spells, they fled in all directions, but it can only be said to be an extremely interesting coincidence—the group of witches, whose number was about a hundred, was ordered by the Witch Order to go to the Orleans District. The Bohemians moved and were ordered by the king to move to the valley, but they saw flames and dust on the way, and they knew from the raven that someone was burning the witch. Although they were not sure, they decided to take a look.

Unexpectedly, the villagers were burning a few big men. Judging from their clothes, they were all "noble lords", but the witches didn't care about this, and they didn't care whether the other party was a Huguenot or a Calvinist. Christians, or Catholics, these people have similar attitudes towards them, and the Huguenots may be a little more radical-in addition, none of the villagers led by Anfort escaped, because Mr. Lom Just a little sober, he shouted in a voice that did not match his age, begging the witches to catch these people. He said in the letter that as soon as he saw the clothes of these witches, he knew them. It's a Bohemian, so it's the best way to put it--to put it simply, it's a promise that if the witch catches these people, everyone will get a louis d'or from the king.

Nothing can touch the hearts of these witches who are used to wandering, relying on fortune-telling and cursing for a living, and have almost no assets in their hands than gold. They ran out like a group of wild cats, and the villagers The number of them is several times that of them, but they are afraid of witchcraft. Even if some people have the courage to resist, they cannot compete with the magic of the witches. Only one or two witches suffered some minor injuries during the hunt, such as Scratched face by leaves, or sprained feet.

The most seriously injured were the plague doctors and their students. Mr. Lome only broke a bone in one arm because of the shelter and help of others. Others, especially the tallest and strongest Chamborence, almost killed Anfu He was the youngest son of Er, so several ribs were broken, and he was whipped, and his whole back was bloody. It is said that someone tried to cut off his nose, but luckily failed, but he also had a deep cut on his cheek. Scars, the nose is crooked to one side, the witches threw the villagers into the chapel, and after moving them to the big house in Anfor, they began to boil herbs for granted—that is, poor potions, and gave them to drink, although From Mr. Lome to Chamborance, they are not very willing to deal with the devil's daughter-in-law, but seeing Malpikey and Sidonham drink the medicine happily, they are alive and kicking immediately-for the previous Mr. Lome As mentioned above, regarding the prevention and control of smallpox, they had no choice but to bite the bullet and drank the dark, sticky stuff into their stomachs while confessing.

Lom said in the letter that although it is a bit exaggerated to say that they are alive and kicking, these drugs have indeed relieved their pain and prevented them from completely losing control of their thoughts and behaviors. Minor injuries heal quickly, but the bones still need a period of time. It took time to reconnect, and they occasionally vomited black blood, and their feces were also black. The witches said that this was because their internal organs were injured, and these were the color of coagulated blood clots. Oh, and one more thing to mention is that in his letters, he was careful to refer to the witches as Bohemians, not directly using that taboo title.

With the help of the witches, they extracted scars and pus from the Anfor family. These ugly things, according to Lom's description, were very similar to those of smallpox patients, but because the two previous female workers had been burned dead, so they couldn't compare—and they simply started trying to grow both vaccines directly in the village of Jura, the same way those Eastern doctors used them.

Lom said that there are more than 200 people in Jura who have not yet been infected with smallpox. He selected young and healthy people from among them and vaccinated them with two kinds of vaccines. As a result, thirteen people who were infected with the patient's scar died directly, and only one person was infected with the scar taken from Anfor's body. Later, two of the former were infected with smallpox. The latter had none, and they were almost sure that the scars on Anfor's body were milder and more effective than the scars on the patients who were about to recover.

Mr. Setonham, from England, followed the acne scars on the Anfor family members - it didn't make sense that he found this kind of scar very similar to smallpox on the cowherds or cowgirls twice. Later, he With the help of Malbiki, similar blisters were found on cattle, and they boldly used the extract of the blisters on themselves, and then went to contact with smallpox patients-when they saw this, even the king could not bear it. I couldn't help taking a breath, God bless, these two bold guys proved their conjecture, except for the low-grade fever and rash in just a few days before, they didn't show any dangerous or fatal symptoms.

And the next one was Mr. Chamborance, and the doctor's students, and they did not have any accidents. Sir, they believe that we have the privilege of being free from smallpox by taking the holy body of this saint, and they strongly demand that I release Anfor and his family, of course, them, and others To build a church and a monastery for the new saint—they don't seem to notice that even though they're shut up in a chapel with that saint, those who should be infected are infected—” he Pauses here, drops a giant blob of ink: "I made a mistake here," he writes: "There are certainly people who are fanatical about the bunch of 'saints,' but for others, I mean , those patients, when their symptoms finally cannot be appeased by false appeasement, they will go crazy, they," his handwriting became hesitant and weak here: "they tore open old Anfor's throat, drank I drank his blood and ate his flesh, thinking that this would make me heal."

When the screams came from the chapel, it could not be said that the warrior doctors and witches were sleeping. They immediately jumped out of bed and ran to the chapel, but at that time, the Anfors were all driven into madness people were torn apart—the chapel was splattered with blood, not only of the Anfors, but of those who had managed to protect them and who had found themselves infected with the disease and had Left behind by unscrupulous lunatics.

There was only one Anfor family left, and it was a girl who was doing experiments to extract scars and pus.

Mr. Rom was only horrified by this, but he didn't feel much apology. When the chief of Blois asked him if he wanted to leave Jura, he still decided to stay in Jura because there was no better experimental site than Jura. , the villagers, in view of their horrific crime, would at best end up in hard labour, and most likely die naked in the on the river and on the street. In this way, it is a kind of luck that they can become the experimental materials of Lom's chief physician-at least they will all be buried in the end.

"Yes," Louis said to Philip, "Monsieur Lome is a Catholic too." According to the old gentleman's age, he has been through the massacre of St. Bartholomew. How those soldiers and nobles broke through the door painted with white crosses (the Catholics use this to identify the Huguenots) under the order of the Queen Mother, and dragged out the men, women, old people, and children inside to kill— ——At that time, the lives of the Huguenots were worthless. Although the chief physician was very gentle now, no matter how peaceful he was, he would be afraid and angry when he encountered what happened that night.

It’s like you are willing to be tolerant, but your enemies have always been aggressive——the reason why Louis is unwilling to let go of these Huguenots is that his faith is so negligible that it is almost negligible. What he hates is that although the Huguenots He has inherited the kindness of his grandfather and father, but has always regarded the Bourbon family as traitors, constantly brewing conspiracy and rebellion, and Louis, who is trying to ensure that the whole of France and even Europe has only one voice, of course cannot bear this... But the Huguenots in France All the influence, wealth and technology among the people, as well as the advanced ideas and practices of education—the Huguenots spent a lot of energy on education in order to compete with the Roman Church for the right to speak. They promoted primary education, Coeducational schools, teaching in French, etc., was what Louis was and would be doing—even for the teachers needed for primary education, and Louis would not just let the Huguenots defect to other countries.

Because of that behavior, not only weakened France, but also strengthened France's enemies.

"The name Chambranc is familiar to me." Philip said, because almost all of his subordinates were French envoys and nobles stationed in various countries, so most of the information he could get came from the upper class. Now it is the name of the Chamberlain family, of course it is impossible to escape his ears. He even sent spies to find out the secrets of the Chamberlain family, but failed. Later, because Louis directly introduced the power of the inner world into the Watching the world, childbirth and baby care are no longer something that members of the royal family need to fear, so Philip dropped his original plan.

"Those Bohemian witches get along very well with the doctors." Philip picked up the letter and read to the last page, saying.

"Because for doctors, these witches are also quite worth studying." When he was in the other world, Louis discovered from the books he collected that wizards are far more resistant to diseases, injuries and aging than ordinary people , no wonder they are always so arrogant, even a wizard like the Bohemian witch, who has almost lost her roots, can come and go freely in the epidemic area... "By the way," Philip half asked, half guessed Authentic: "How many wizards are there in Orleans now?"

"About seven thousand." Louis replied. Although Philip was the Duke of Orleans, the person in charge of this matter was Marie Mancini, the mother of the king's firstborn, the Duchess of Colonna. As a mortal, he did not Those who cannot know the number directly, "They lied." Philip said that the elders of the witches' order were almost wiped out in Flanders, and the others, had to bow their heads under the threat of the wizards of Gajola Island, Tired of their never-ending wanderings, they longed to return to the court, but the king would not believe them so quickly.

"There are others at Versailles," said Louis, "with their husbands."

"Oh, have they decided to convert?" Philip asked curiously.

"Even the Mancini family can have a relative of a cardinal," Louis said. "What's so difficult for these witches to be baptized, confessed and worshiped?" Well, witches and wizards don't have any real beliefs—they only worship strength. Although Merlin is often talked about, Merlin is just a powerful wizard that has never been seen before, and future generations have not yet been able to match. To be correct, They called Merlin, they just hoped that they could also have magic like Merlin.

These witches will be closely monitored, especially their children - wizards are not werewolves, and the children of werewolves must be werewolves, but the children of wizards may be mortals or wizards, especially Bohemian witches. There are many people who have mixed blood with mortals more than once, but Louis must be careful, if there is any abnormality in the child, if the husband or the husband's parents cannot accept it, it may cause a rather tragic and bloody situation—these Witches aren't all docile puppies.

The king had the matter of special schools on his mind's agenda, but these would have to wait until the war against Holland was over.

Before that, he specially wrote a reply letter to Mr. Lome. He had great expectations for Mr. Lome, Sidon Ham, Malbikey and Chamborance who joined unexpectedly. For this reason, the king specially dialed a A considerable sum of money was given to Monsieur Laume, and more powers were given to him, so that he could mobilize the troops and taxes of Blois without having to ask the king for his will.

In addition, the king also told Luo the practice of using witches (of course, in the letter he only vaguely called them Bohemians) in the nursing project during the Battle of Flanders. Mr. Mu, and promised that, if he had the guts, or the will, to recruit those bohemians who had been assembled in Orleans, to work in the care of the sick.
